Chapter 440 Azure Sky
Twenty hours later.
The spiritual energy fluctuations of the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable entered a state that Lu Sheng had never seen before.
Data transmitted back from the Eye of Law shows that the concentration of spiritual energy within the spherical space is rising rapidly. The already extremely dense concentration of spiritual energy particles has doubled in the past twenty hours.
The interior of the entire spherical space seemed to have become a spiritual energy bomb about to explode.
"He'll be here soon," Lu Sheng said in a low voice.
Xuan Yin squatted beside him, closed her eyes, and used sound waves to sense the changes inside the spherical space.
"The spiritual core of the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable has expanded to its limit. My sonic detection shows that its core volume is at least three times larger than normal. The density of its law energy has exceeded the tolerance limit of a peak Spirit Saint."
"It's exceeded the limits of what it can handle—meaning it could break through at any moment."
"Or—the breakthrough failed. It's over."
"He won't explode," Lu Sheng shook his head. "The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations has cultivated for hundreds of years. His control over his spiritual core is unmatched by ordinary people. Even if there are conflicts of laws, he can suppress them the moment he breaks through."
"But the harder he tries to suppress it, the longer the legal vacuum will be."
"Yes. So next—"
Lu Sheng's gaze was fixed on the patrolling figure on the outer edge of the spherical space.
Azure Sky.
Over the past twenty hours, Qingming's condition has clearly changed. He no longer patrols along fixed routes, but instead moves back and forth close to the outer wall of the spherical space. The Qingming Spear in his hand remains in a combat grip posture.
He sensed something amiss inside. He was on alert.
"Qingming's current location?"
"The outer wall of the spherical space is 30 degrees east of north. It is about 50 meters away from the outer wall." Xuan Yin reported the precise coordinates.
Where do I need to infiltrate?
"The outer wall of the spherical space is located 15 degrees east of north. That is the region with the lowest density of law-based threads."
The distance between 30 degrees east of north and 15 degrees north of east is approximately one-sixth of the circumference of a sphere. Considering the diameter of the sphere is over 200 meters, that's about 100 meters.
"A distance of one hundred meters. Qingming flew over from his current position in about three seconds."
"I need to stop him within those three seconds."
"It's not just three seconds. It takes me three to five minutes to penetrate a spherical space. You need to stop him for three to five minutes."
"I understand."
Lu Sheng closed his eyes and checked the battle plan in his mind one last time.
Step 1: He set off from his concealed position and flew at top speed toward the infiltration point 15 degrees east of north in the spherical space.
Step Two: Begin the Infiltration. The disguise of the laws will fail the moment he actively manipulates the laws of space—Qingming will definitely discover him.
Step 3: Once Qingming spots him, he will immediately fly over to intercept him. At this moment, Xuanyin will flank from the side and use sonic interference to hold back Qingming.
Step 4: He completed the infiltration within three to five minutes and entered the spherical space.
Step 5: Wait inside the spherical space for the moment when the Celestial Venerable of All Things breaks through—then launch a fatal attack.
"I have a question," Xuan Yin said.
"explain."
"The moment the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations breaks through—his spiritual core will undergo an explosive reorganization of laws. This reorganization will generate an extremely violent shockwave of laws. Inside the spherical space—the power of that shockwave may be enough to severely injure a peak Spirit Saint."
Lu Sheng thought for a moment.
"You're right. The shockwave from the reorganization of the laws—can my dragon scales withstand it?"
"I'm not sure. The shockwave from a breakthrough to the Spirit Immortal Realm might exceed the defensive limit of the Dragon Scales."
"Then I'll launch the attack before the shockwave arrives."
"The shockwave and the void period of the laws occur simultaneously—the moment the framework of the laws collapses, the energy of the old laws is released outward in the form of a shockwave. There is almost no time difference between the void period and the shockwave."
"In other words—I must strike the Celestial Venerable of All Manifestations at the same time the shockwave hits me."
"right."
Lu Sheng fell silent.
The time windows of the shockwave and the attack completely overlapped.
He had to withstand the shockwaves of the Spirit Immortal Realm level while simultaneously unleashing a fatal chain-resonance attack.
"If my body can't withstand the shockwave—I won't be able to launch my attack. If I can't launch my attack—the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations will complete his breakthrough after the law vacuum period. After completing his breakthrough—he, at the Spirit Immortal Realm, will simply crush me to death."
"So everything depends on whether my body can withstand the shockwave and maintain its fighting ability in that instant."
Lu Sheng looked down at his hands.
The physical body of a peak Spirit Saint. The dragon scale defense has been upgraded by two major levels.
Activating the Human-Dragon state grants triple the strength of all attributes and the physical strength of a Spirit Immortal.
The physical body of a Spirit Immortal Realm cultivator directly withstood the shockwave from a Spirit Immortal Realm cultivator.
"Let's take a gamble."
He raised his head.
"Walk."
The two people flew out from behind the wreckage.
The disguise of the laws remained intact. Their figures blended into the surrounding space debris.
Rapidly approaching a spherical space.
One kilometer.
800 meters.
500 meters.
Three hundred meters.
Qingming was still patrolling on the other side of the spherical space.
One hundred meters.
Lu Sheng stopped fifty meters in front of the designated infiltration point.
This location—once he begins to manipulate the laws of space, the law disguise will fail. Qingming will sense his presence within a second. Then Qingming will fly here within three seconds.
three seconds.
Xuan Yin must complete the interception within three seconds.
"Are you ready?" Lu Sheng didn't turn around.
"Ready." Xuan Yin's voice was so calm that it didn't sound like someone about to face a peak mid-stage Spirit Saint opponent.
"I'll count to three."
"good."
"one."
Lu Sheng raised his right hand, and threads of spatial laws condensed at his fingertips.
"two."
Xuan Yin's lips parted slightly, and spiritual energy accumulated in her vocal cords.
"three!"
Lu Sheng's disguise of law vanished instantly!
The law fluctuations of a peak Spirit Saint erupted without reservation—like a torch suddenly lit in the darkness, creating a huge halo of law in the desolate space of the Old God Abyss!
At the same moment—
On the other side of the spherical space.
Qingming's movements suddenly froze.
His head suddenly turned 15 degrees east of north.
Peak of the Spirit Saint realm!
A law fluctuation at the peak of the Spirit Saint realm appeared out of thin air next to the spherical space!
"Intruder!"
Qingming's pupils shrank to pinpoints. Without a second's hesitation—the law platform beneath his feet shattered, and he transformed into a deep blue afterimage, hurtling towards Lu Sheng!
Extremely fast.
A full-speed sprint at the peak of the mid-stage of the Spirit Saint realm—reaching the destination in three seconds.
But he only flew for a second.
One second later—
A silent sound wave struck his law shield precisely from his side and rear.
"Buzz—"
Qingming's body suddenly stopped in mid-air.
His speed of law operation was forcibly reduced by 50% in that instant!
50%!
"Multi-frequency chain resonance" - the explosive short-term high-intensity interference of the mysterious sound - a direct hit!
Qingming's flight speed dropped sharply. The distance that would normally take three seconds to cover now takes at least six seconds, given that the speed of the laws' operation has been halved.
Six seconds is enough for Lu Sheng to begin his infiltration.
Lu Sheng didn't waste even half a second.
The threads of spatial laws had been compressed to their limit at his fingertips—0.005 millimeters.
First layer. Enter!
Second layer. Enter!
Fingers are like the most precise scalpels, threading needles through the legal barriers of spherical space.
three seconds.
Third floor. Fourth floor.
"Boom——"
A muffled thud came from afar.
Qingming used brute force to break free from some of the constraints of the sonic interference. His flight speed increased somewhat.
But Xuan Yin immediately followed up with a second wave of energy—
Qingming was slowed down again.
"Damn it! Who are you?!" Qingming's roar spread through space via the fluctuations of the laws.
Xuan Yin did not answer.
All her energy was focused on the sonic interference. Wave after wave. Each wave had a different frequency—the multi-frequency chain resonance left Qingming with no time to adjust the shield's resonance frequency.
Ten seconds passed.
Lu Sheng penetrated the fifth layer.
Qingming finally broke through the control of the sonic interference—his spear tip suddenly pierced out a beam of icy blue light towards Xuanyin!
Ice-Sealing Ray!
Xuan Yin swerved to the side, narrowly avoiding the ray. The ray grazed her shoulder, freezing a piece of debris behind her into ice shards.
"Early stage of Spirit Saint?" Qingming recognized Xuanyin's strength level. "An early stage Spirit Saint dares to come here to die?!"
He did not pursue Xuan Yin further. Instead, he turned to look at the spherical space—
He saw Lu Sheng.
He saw Lu Sheng's fingers inserted into the law barrier of the spherical space.
"He's infiltrating his owner's enclosed space!"
Qingming's expression changed drastically.
He abandoned Xuan Yin and rushed towards Lu Sheng at full speed!
"Stop him!" Lu Sheng shouted.
He couldn't turn back. His fingers couldn't stop. The threads of the sixth layer of law were being separated one by one at his fingertips.
Xuan Yin gritted her teeth.
Her spiritual energy surged dramatically—her vocal range expanded!
The 300-meter sonic field instantly covered Qingming!
Within the sound range—the effect of sound wave interference is doubled!
The speed at which Qingming's laws operated was once again dragged to rock bottom. His body almost came to a standstill in mid-air.
"You—" A flash of shock and anger crossed Qingming's eyes. "Sound-based laws?! This kind of despicable interference method—"
He roared, and the freezing laws within his body suddenly erupted.
"Ice coffin!"
A layer of icy blue light expanded outward from his body, attempting to freeze the surrounding space—including Xuan Yin's sound waves.
But sound waves are not matter.
Sound waves are the vibrations of laws.
The Ice-Sealing Law can freeze matter, but it cannot freeze the fluctuations of the law.
The moment Qingming's ice coffin was unfurled, it was pierced by Xuan Yin's multi-frequency chain resonance sound waves. The ice crystals shattered into powder, scattering into space.
"How is this possible—" Qingming's face turned extremely ugly.
Twenty seconds passed.
Lu Sheng penetrated the sixth layer.
The last layer.
The seventh layer—the densest layer. The gaps are only 0.012 millimeters.
His current spatial law precision is 0.005 millimeters.
The acoustic resonance of Xuan Yin is no longer needed.
Wear it directly!
The thread of spatial law pierced through a 0.005 mm fingertip into a 0.012 mm gap—
Relaxed.
wore.
Lu Sheng pressed his finger into the last tiny opening on the law barrier of the spherical space.
He crawled inside.
The opening behind him closed rapidly.
The spherical space was restored to its original state.
Outside--
Qingming finally broke free from the sonic interference and thrust his spear towards the outer wall of the spherical space.
The spear tip struck the barrier of laws, producing a piercing metallic clang.
The barrier of laws remained completely unmoved.
Qingming was stunned.
He infiltrated it.
That peak Spirit Saint—went in.
Qingming's face was frighteningly pale.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Xuan Yin.
Xuan Yin had already flown back three hundred meters away.
Who are you?!
Xuan Yin did not speak.
She was simply looking in the direction of the spherical space.
Everything from now on depends on Lu Sheng.
