Chapter 446 Spatial Slash
The moment Lu Sheng rushed out, the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations also moved.
But his movements were noticeably slower than before.
After having 40% of his vital energy and 30% of his spiritual energy drained by the dragon claw, the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations' physical functions declined significantly. The speed of the laws' operation also slowed down by at least 20% due to the lack of spiritual energy.
"You think you've won?"
The voice of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations was hoarse. He drew a circle in front of him with his right hand—the laws of ice and space merged once again.
"Space Freeze—"
We can't let him release him.
The instant the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations made his move, Lu Sheng hurled his Dragon Devouring Spear with his right hand!
The spear, weighing over two thousand pounds, carried a spinning energy and headed straight for the face of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Phenomena!
The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations was forced to abruptly halt the spatial freeze, dodging to the side. The Dragon Devouring Spear flew past his cheek, the dragon pattern on its tip leaving a deep, bone-revealing gash on his right cheek.
But Lu Sheng didn't throw the gun to hurt him.
It was to make him stop the space freeze.
Lu Sheng clasped his hands together—chain resonance—the final shot!
Fire—Thunder—Water—Wind—Space!
One second. A gray sphere of light formed in the palm of his hand.
But this time—he didn't project the ball of light.
He compressed the sphere of light.
It's been compressed to the size of a thumb.
The density of the law's energy increased several times during the compression process.
"Spatial Slash."
This wasn't something learned from ancient metal plates. It was something Lu Sheng came up with on the spot during the battle.
A chain-resonance gray sphere of light—compressed to its limit using spatial laws—then attaches to the palm—for close-range attack.
The energy of the light sphere does not diminish during flight because it comes into direct contact with the target. All the destructive energy—100% released—is released within the target.
The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations saw the thumb-sized gray light spot in Lu Sheng's palm.
His pupils contracted sharply.
He sensed the terrifying energy density contained within that point of light.
"not good--"
The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations retreated with all his might. All the remaining ice spikes around him shot towards Lu Sheng.
Three. Only three left.
Lu Sheng used his dragon scales to block two of them. The third one pierced his right thigh.
He didn't stop.
He limped forward on his right leg.
Ten meters. Five meters. Three meters.
The Celestial Venerable of All Manifestations conjured a final, icy shield in his right hand—
At the same time, Lu Sheng's left hand grabbed the edge of the frozen shield—the dragon claw's absorption effect activated instantly—half of the shield's law energy was drained away—
The shield shattered.
Lu Sheng's right palm—carrying that gray light of law compressed to its limit—slapped down on the chest of the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable.
That chest that was shattered by the second Dragon Breath and barely repaired by the Elemental Body.
The light exploded the moment it touched the flesh.
It didn't explode outwards. It exploded inwards.
All the destructive energy—the ultimate compression of the five-element chain resonance—was released within the body of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations.
"ah--!!"
The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations let out his first real scream of agony.
His chest cavity—from his sternum to his spine—was completely blasted open.
A hole half a meter in diameter appeared in the center of his torso.
The edges of the void were scorched black by the gray energy of the laws. The blue-white matter of the elemental body rapidly faded around the void, as if it had been negated at its very source by some force.
The body of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations froze in mid-air for two seconds.
He looked down at the large hole in his chest through which one could see his back.
"you--"
He looked up at Lu Sheng.
The indifference and scrutiny in his icy blue pupils vanished.
Instead, it is now characterized by seriousness.
True seriousness.
I underestimated you.
After the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations finished speaking, his spiritual core—the spiritual core that had expanded to its limit—began to emit a dazzling blue-white light.
Light shone through the hole in the chest, illuminating the entire spherical space.
"This is--"
Lu Sheng's heart tightened suddenly.
"He's going to self-destruct his spiritual core?!"
No. It wasn't a self-destruction.
Lu Sheng's dragon eyes clearly saw the changes in the core of the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable's spiritual source—the framework of laws on the surface of the core was being reconstructed. The new framework, which had repeatedly collapsed due to conflicts in laws before, was now forcibly stabilized.
The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations used his willpower and over three hundred years of accumulated knowledge of the laws to forcibly suppress the frequency deviation energy within the core of the spiritual source that had been interfered with by Lu Sheng.
The conflict of laws—was suppressed by him.
A new framework of rules is taking shape.
"He's breaking through!"
At this very moment! Despite being severely injured, suffering great loss of vital energy and blood, and having exhausted his spiritual source—the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations chose to forcibly break through to the Spirit Immortal Realm!
"It's not a good time to break through—but he has no other choice." Lu Sheng instantly understood the thoughts of the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable.
Given the current state of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations, failing to break through means certain death. His body is already severely damaged, and his power of laws has been greatly weakened due to the depletion of his spiritual source.
His only way out is to break through to the Spirit Immortal Realm. The elemental Dao Body of the Spirit Immortal Realm can allow him to be reborn with a new body. The power of the laws of the Spirit Immortal Realm can crush Lu Sheng.
"I won't give you that chance."
Lu Sheng gritted his teeth.
Human-Dragon state - 45 seconds remaining.
His right hand reached towards the hollow in the chest of the Celestial Venerable of All Manifestations—
Target: The spiritual core of the Celestial Venerable of All Things.
As long as his spiritual core is destroyed before he breaks through, it will all be over.
Lu Sheng's dragon claw reached into the hollow.
The finger touched the outer shell of the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable's spiritual core—
laugh--!
A burst of extremely hot law energy scorched the dragon scales on Lu Shenglong's claws!
The Law Energy that is being reorganized in the Spirit Source Core is so hot that it can melt the Law Shield of a peak Spirit Saint!
"Hold--"
Lu Sheng withdrew his fingers. The dragon scales on all five fingers shattered, revealing charred flesh and blood.
The eyes of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations slowly opened amidst the light.
Those icy blue pupils—are changing color.
From ice blue to blue and white.
The symbol of the elemental Dao body.
The eyes of the Immortal Realm.
"Too late?"
