Chapter 379 Braving the Law Storm, Life Hangs by a Thread
Lu Sheng plunged headfirst into the spherical space.
As soon as he entered, he realized he had been hasty. The situation inside was completely different from what he had seen from the outside.
From the outside, the spherical space appears empty except for the star-sized corpse floating in the center.
But now, standing here, Lu Sheng felt his scalp tingle.
The entire space was filled with countless threads of law. These threads were extremely fine, transparent, and intricately interwoven, like a gigantic spider web.
Lu Sheng rushed in so fast that he created a gust of air.
This tiny bit of airflow touched the three transparent threads in front of it.
Buzz!
The three threads instantly materialized, transforming into three golden blades of law light that slashed at him from three completely tricky angles.
"Grass!"
Lu Sheng cursed and suddenly plunged downwards, narrowly avoiding the two light blades aimed at his neck and waist. But the third light blade was too fast and flew past his left shoulder.
puff.
A large chunk of flesh covered in black and gold dragon scales was sliced off. Golden blood gushed out.
"This is a trigger-activated one! Touch one and it'll cut you!"
Lu Sheng quickly held his breath, forcibly freezing in mid-air, not daring to move at all.
He activated the dragon runes to seal the bloody gash on his shoulder, then widened his eyes and activated his dragon eyes to maximum power.
In the dragon's eye's vision, those transparent threads finally had nowhere to hide.
Within a radius of one mile, at least tens of thousands of threads of law were suspended. They were pulled haphazardly without any pattern. And further away, the closer to the celestial remains, the more terrifying the density of the threads became, practically forming a wall.
"This is not a defensive formation at all; it's a fully automatic meat grinder."
Lu Sheng gritted his teeth, a layer of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
He can't back down. It's easy to leave, but difficult to get back in.
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and move forward.
Lu Sheng began to move through the silk threads in an extremely awkward posture. He moved very slowly, and every meter he flew forward, he would repeatedly check with his dragon eyes to see if there were any silk threads ahead.
This is like an ordinary person walking blindfolded through a mountain of knives at night.
It took him a full hour to move forward less than a hundred meters.
"No, that's too slow. At this rate, it'll take me forever to get to that corpse."
Lu Sheng stopped in a slightly more spacious gap, his mind racing.
Looking at the dense threads in front of him, he suddenly thought of the spatial laws that he had just begun to grasp.
"Walking directly across will definitely cause me to hit the line. Can I use folding space to jump over instead?"
Lu Sheng acted immediately. He activated the spatial laws within his body and locked onto a gap about fifty meters ahead.
Fold it!
The space in front of him distorted violently.
Successful.
However, because the spatial laws here are too chaotic, his mediocre skills can only maintain spatial folding for less than half a second.
Half a second is enough.
Seizing this extremely brief window of opportunity, Lu Sheng vanished from his spot and reappeared fifty meters away in the next instant.
As soon as he landed, the space behind him suddenly bounced back to its original state, causing a strong spatial tremor.
Puff puff puff!
Along the path he had just traversed, more than a dozen threads of law were triggered by the shockwave, instantly transforming into a storm of light blades that shredded the area to shreds.
Lu Sheng swallowed hard. "Luckily, I ran fast."
He figured it out.
Fold it fifty meters, stop to catch your breath and recover your severely depleted spatial law power, then find the right spot to fold it another fifty meters.
Although it's still slow, it's much better than crawling like a tortoise before.
Using this technique, Lu Sheng gradually approached the remains of the star.
Two hundred meters.
500 meters.
One kilometer.
The further you go, the denser the threads become. The power of the light blade also increases.
At two thousand meters, Lu Sheng could no longer completely dodge all the light blades. Even with spatial folding, the landing point would always hit one or two threads.
He was covered in blood. Most of the dragon scales on his chest were shattered. His left arm had been severed in half by a blade of light when he folded and landed earlier. Bone fragments were exposed at the cut, and dragon runes were desperately trying to grow flesh, causing him to gasp in pain.
That really hurts.
But Lu Sheng didn't even utter a sound.
The closer he got to the corpse, the stronger the primal aura he smelled became. That scent of laws, capable of instantly granting enlightenment, hooked at his soul like a hook.
"Almost there. Just hang in there a little longer."
Lu Sheng bit down on the mouthful of bloody foam.
Three thousand meters.
Lu Sheng was forced to stop.
There was no road ahead of him.
The threads were so dense that not even a needle could be inserted. No matter how he folded space, the landing point would definitely trigger hundreds or thousands of light blades.
"What do we do? If we force our way in, we'll definitely get minced meat."
Lu Sheng leaned against an invisible barrier of laws, panting heavily.
He stared at the "wall" made of threads of law in front of him, and found himself in a dead end.
Retreat? Impossible.
Can't get in? No, you can't.
As he looked at the threads, the phrase he had gleaned from his time outside suddenly flashed through his mind.
"If you can set rules, you can also abolish them."
What are these threads? They are the defensive rules set by the corpse before its death.
Since it is a rule, since it is something that is a manifestation of the power of law.
"Then can I... just eat them?"
Lu Sheng was startled by his own crazy idea.
Consuming high-level laws? That stuff is sharper than a knife; aren't you afraid it'll slice your intestines to pieces?
But he has the Devouring Furnace inside his body. The rule of the Devouring Furnace is that as long as it is energy, as long as it is a law, no matter how hard it is, it will crush it all and use it as nourishment.
Lu Sheng licked his chapped lips, his eyes turning extremely fierce.
"Give it a try. At worst, we'll blow up a few meridians."
He stretched out his left hand, which was only half-grown back to its original size, and grabbed directly at the thickest thread of law in front of him.
My fingers just touched the silk thread.
The silk thread instantly transformed into a blinding blade of light, slicing directly into the bone of his finger.
Excruciating pain!
Lu Sheng did not back down. He gritted his teeth and the Devouring Furnace within his body suddenly erupted.
An extremely tyrannical, deathly gray gravitational force rushed out from his wound and bit into the light blade.
Lightblade struggled desperately, trying to cut off his entire arm.
"Get it inside me!"
Lu Sheng roared, and the gravity surged.
He forcefully pulled the blade of light into his meridians.
boom!
The light blade exploded directly within his meridians the moment it entered his body. Several large bulges instantly appeared on Lu Sheng's left arm, and his blood vessels burst.
But the flames of the Devouring Furnace immediately rushed up, tightly enveloping the shattered fragments of laws and beginning to refine them frantically.
Ten seconds later.
That violent power of law was crushed into an extremely pure insight, which flowed directly into the dantian and merged into the seed of that small world.
The seed's light shone a little brighter.
Lu Sheng looked at his bloodied and mangled left hand and suddenly burst into laughter.
"He can eat a lot! He can really eat a lot!"
Since it's edible, that makes things easier.
Lu Sheng raised his head and looked at the impenetrable wall of silk threads in front of him.
"Today I'll show you what it means to eat your way through blood."
