Chapter 431 Digesting the Spoils of War
The return trip took three and a half days.
Lu Sheng began cultivating during his flight—using the Devouring Heaven Furnace to absorb spiritual energy particles from the areas he passed through, slowly recovering from his depletion.
When he arrived on Earth, his spiritual energy had recovered to 85%.
It was afternoon when we landed at Dengxian Island Square.
Dao Yi was the first to run over.
"My lord! You've returned! This time..."
"It's done."
Dao Yi's eyes lit up instantly. "It's done? There's something inside G-131?"
"Yes. And much more than I expected."
Lu Sheng didn't linger in the square. He went straight to the secret room.
Close the door.
Isolate from the outside world.
He took out all the spoils of war from his storage space and laid them out one by one on the stone bed.
One hundred and seventy-two top-grade primordial crystal cores. Five colors of light illuminated the entire secret chamber, making it shimmer and glow.
Sixteen ancient metal plates. The dark gold surfaces are engraved with intricate array patterns of laws.
A dark golden fragment of the Dragon God's essence. It floated quietly in mid-air, emitting a gentle light.
Lu Sheng sat on the edge of the stone bed, looking at these things.
"Let's prioritize them first."
First priority – Dragon God Origin Fragment.
This fragment can directly enhance the Dragon God Sequence's talent level and bloodline evolution. The higher the talent level, the greater his physical strength, law affinity, and skill power will be.
This is the fastest way to improve combat effectiveness.
Second priority – Ancient Law Array Diagram.
Especially that metal plate with "elemental resonance". His law resonance is currently his strongest killing move. If this technology can be used to further enhance the power and success rate of the resonance, it would be equivalent to directly upgrading a nuclear weapon.
There are also "Spatial Folding" and "Domain Expansion". The former can further improve the precision of his spatial laws, while the latter can expand the scope of his small world domain.
Both of these weaknesses were exposed in the battle against the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations—the precision of the spatial laws was insufficient, and the domain range was suppressed.
Third priority – original crystal nucleus.
One hundred and seventy-two top-grade primordial crystal cores. Each one contains primordial energy far exceeding that of the Spirit Saint Realm.
Directly absorbing can greatly enhance one's understanding of laws and increase one's spiritual energy reserves.
But absorption takes time. Take it one at a time; there's no rush.
"Eat the Dragon God fragments first."
Lu Sheng made a decision.
He put everything else back into his storage space, leaving only the dark golden orb of light.
The ball of light hovered thirty centimeters in front of him.
"Consort Luo."
"exist."
"I'm about to devour something special. This process may generate violent fluctuations in the laws of nature. Monitor the area around the secret chamber and make sure no one gets close."
"clear."
"And—what's the situation at the Old God Abyss?"
"The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations remains inside the spherical space. The Azure Netherworld Protector is on the outer perimeter. Nothing has changed in the seven days since you left."
"good."
Lu Sheng closed his eyes.
Take a deep breath.
Take another deep breath.
Then--
He opened his mouth.
The gravity of the Devouring Furnace expanded from its mouth, drawing in the dark golden orb of light.
The ball of light transformed into a scorching warm current, flowing into the body through the throat.
The next second—
boom!!!
Lu Sheng's body jolted violently.
An unprecedented burst of violent energy exploded from the heart, rushing wildly through the blood vessels, meridians, and bones to every corner of the body!
pain!
It wasn't just ordinary pain.
It was a soul-wrenching pain that erupted from the depths of the bone marrow!
"hiss--"
Lu Sheng clenched his teeth, which made a grinding sound.
Dark golden dragon scales began to appear on his skin—not because he actively activated his human-dragon state, but because the dragon god's bloodline was spontaneously activated under the stimulation of the fragments!
Dragon scales grew, fell off, and regenerated wildly on his skin. Each cycle was denser and harder than the last.
"Click-clack-click-clack—"
The skeleton is remodeling.
Muscle fibers are tearing and healing.
The core of the spiritual source is expanding rapidly.
The whole process lasted—
Lu Sheng didn't know.
His consciousness blurred several times amidst the excruciating pain, only to be forcibly pulled back by that violent energy.
All he could do was grit his teeth and bear it.
I don't know how much time has passed.
It could be a few hours, or it could be longer.
The pain finally began to subside.
That violent energy was completely absorbed by his body.
Lu Sheng collapsed onto the stone bed, his whole body soaked in sweat.
He was panting heavily.
The virtual panel in front of me popped up automatically.
He glanced at it.
The data on the system panel was fluctuating wildly—
[Ding! Successfully devoured the fragment of the Chaos Dragon God's origin!]
[Dragon God Sequence Talent Evolving...]
[Evolution complete!]
[Talent Upgrade: God-Tier Sequence - Dragon God (Second Stage: Dragon Soul Awakening)]
[New Passive Skill: Dragon Soul Resonance – The dragon soul within the body awakens, increasing the speed of comprehending all dragon-related laws by 300%. Spiritual energy recovery speed is increased by 200%. The success rate and power of law resonance are increased by 50%.]
[Physical Evolution: Base strength increased to peak Spirit Saint level. Dragon scale defense level increased by two major tiers.]
[Human-Dragon Status Upgrade: All attribute boost multiplier increased from 2x to 3x. Duration increased from 4 minutes to 10 minutes.]
Lu Sheng looked at the data on the panel.
Read it line by line.
Then--
He clenched his fist.
A terrifying force erupted from his fist. Under the pressure of his fist, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the stones on the stone bed.
"Basic strength...Peak Spirit Saint level."
His physical body has reached the standard of the peak of the spiritual saint.
Although his cultivation level in the laws is still at the late stage of Spirit Saint.
But in terms of pure physical strength, it's already on par with the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations.
Furthermore, the multiplier for the human-dragon form has increased from two times to three times.
The physical body of a peak Spirit Saint multiplied by three—
"This is the physical strength of a Spirit Immortal Realm cultivator."
Lu Sheng's hands were trembling.
It's not because of weakness.
It's because it's so awesome.
