DipNovel Chapter 424 3 Days
Chapter 424 3 Days
Lu Sheng lay in the secret room for six hours.
It's not sleeping. It's using the Devouring Furnace to absorb the spiritual energy surrounding the Earth to restore the body.
His battle with the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations was more taxing than he had anticipated. He used fifty percent of his spiritual energy to create a crystallized Law Trap, which blew up one of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations' arms. He further depleted the remaining spiritual energy in the direct confrontation.
Currently, the spiritual energy reserves in the body are only about 60% of their full capacity.
The aftereffects of using the human-dragon state are still present—my limbs are a little sore, and the speed at which the laws operate is about 10% slower than in my peak state.
"Three more days."
I spent three days recovering before heading to G-131.
His eyes were closed, but his mind kept racing.
The battle scenes of the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable replayed in my mind frame by frame.
That palm strike.
The terrifying penetrating power of that freezing law.
That 800-meter all-out domain.
Lu Sheng's 500-meter domain was compressed to 300 meters, and the resonance of the laws directly failed.
"The gap is too big."
He had already judged those four words during the battle. But looking back, the difference was even greater than he had felt at the time.
The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations never used his true killing move from beginning to end.
His freezing laws only demonstrated two forms—the freezing ray and the freezing shield. In reality, with his peak Spirit Saint level control over laws, he had at least three to five more higher-level law applications that he hadn't yet revealed.
"He's conserving his energy."
It wasn't about showing mercy to Lu Sheng.
The reason is that his main goal wasn't to kill Lu Sheng, but to obtain the items from the Old God Abyss. Fighting Lu Sheng was just a convenient way to eliminate obstacles.
If the Celestial Venerable of All Manifestations is determined to kill him—
Lu Sheng took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.
Overthinking is useless. The focus now is on G-131.
"Consort Luo."
"exist."
"Does the Scavenger Alliance have more detailed data on the Law Barrier of G-131? Like the barrier thickness, the density of the Law Threads, and the number of weaving layers."
"It's not on the jade slip. But I can contact the Cleaners Alliance's information channels and see if it's in their internal files."
"Go check. You need it within three days."
"clear."
"There's one more thing."
"Please speak."
"The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations reports to me every two hours on his movements within the Abyss of the Old Gods."
"It's already underway. Currently, the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations remains inside the spherical space, while the Azure Netherworld Protector patrols the perimeter. There's no sign of them leaving."
Lu Sheng nodded and closed his eyes again.
The gravity of the Devouring Furnace slowly circulated within its body, devouring the sparse spiritual energy particles in the air. Although the concentration of spiritual energy on Earth could not compare to that of the Old God Abyss, after such a long period of spiritual energy recovery, the concentration was no longer too low.
The recovery speed isn't fast, but it's sufficient.
He'll be leaving in three days. He needs to do a few things in those three days.
First, restore the spiritual energy to full.
Second, thoroughly repair any hidden injuries to the body.
Third, prepare sufficient supplies.
fourth--
"I need to talk to Xuan Yin."
Lu Sheng opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling of the secret room.
Xuan Yin said she was betting he would win.
But gambling is gambling, and faith is faith.
Before going to G-131, he needed to figure out one thing—just how much combat power Xuan Yin could provide.
Early stage of spiritual sainthood.
An early-stage Spirit Saint is no match for a late-stage Spirit Saint, let alone a peak Spirit Saint. However, an early-stage Spirit Saint is still a Spirit Saint. If there's anything dangerous inside G-131, having an early-stage Spirit Saint to help would at least alleviate some of the pressure.
The premise is that she won't let you down at crucial moments.
Or worse—stab him in the back at a crucial moment.
Lu Sheng is not someone who easily trusts others.
Having lived in this wretched world for so long, he had seen far too many people betray him at the brink of death. Moreover, Xuan Yin's spiritual core contained the imprint of the laws of the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable.
That mark is a time bomb.
Although the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations is currently enjoying a sumptuous meal in the Abyss of the Old Gods, he is unlikely to be able to monitor Xuan Yin for the time being. But what if he is?
What if the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations is the kind of ruthless person who can multitask?
"Forget it. Let's just take it one step at a time."
Lu Sheng turned over and continued to recover.
……
The next morning.
Lu Sheng's spiritual energy has recovered to 75%.
He left the secret room and went to the blacksmith's camp.
The spacecraft has been dismantled. The anti-rule turret is being reinstalled on the Earth's outer armor layer.
Dao Yi was on the scene keeping an eye on things.
"My lord!" Dao ran over as soon as she saw him, her eyes still red. "Have you rested well?"
"Pretty much. How much of the aircraft's materials were recovered?"
"Eighty percent. Some welding material at the joints couldn't be completely recycled, resulting in some loss."
"That's enough." Lu Sheng glanced at the bustling blacksmith camp. "I'm leaving for a ruin in three days. You don't need to come along."
Dao Yi was taken aback. "You're not going, subordinate?"
"No, I'm not going. You did enough with that last attack. This time the target is different; it doesn't need artillery, it needs operations at the level of laws. You wouldn't be of any help."
Dao opened his mouth as if to speak, but finally nodded. "Then I will wait for your return on Earth."
"Okay. After I leave, you and Li Xiaoyao will jointly manage Earth's defenses. Luo Tianfei will be in charge of monitoring and command. If you have any questions, ask Luo Tianfei first."
"clear."
Lu Sheng turned and left.
After leaving the blacksmith's camp, he did not return to the secret room, but went to the residential area.
Gen-on's room is on the east side of the residential area.
He knocked on the door.
Three seconds later, the door opened.
Xuan Yin stood at the door. She wore a plain white dress, her hair casually tied back. Upon seeing Lu Sheng, her expression didn't change, but a flicker of something flashed in her eyes.
"Your Mightiness."
"Let's chat."
Xuan Yin stepped aside to let the door open.
The room wasn't big, but it was very clean. There was a bed, a table, and a chair. A water glass was on the table.
Lu Sheng walked in and sat down in a chair.
Xuan Yin stood opposite him, without sitting down.
"What is your fighting style?" Lu Sheng asked bluntly.
Xuan Yin glanced at him. "I specialize in the laws of sound."
"Phonetic system?"
"Yes. Using spiritual energy to manipulate sound waves can be used for attack, defense, and perception. My specialty is sound wave interference—disrupting the opponent's rhythm of law operation with sound waves of specific frequencies."
"Can sonic interference from early-stage Spirit Saints be effective against targets at the late-stage Spirit Saint level or higher?"
"It depends on the strength of the opponent's law defense. For targets below the mid-stage of the Spirit Saint realm, my sonic interference can reduce the speed of their law operation by 30% to 40%. For late-stage Spirit Saints—the effect will be greatly weakened, at most reducing it by 10% to 20%. For peak Spirit Saints—it's basically ineffective."
Lu Sheng frowned.
The peak Spirit Saint level is ineffective. If that Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable were to pursue us, Xuan Yin's sonic interference would be useless.
"Besides sound wave interference?"
"Sonic Blade. A cutting attack formed by high-frequency sound waves condensed from spiritual energy. It's generally ineffective against targets with strong physical defense, but it has excellent penetrating power against spiritual energy shields."
"besides?"
"Sound range. My elemental domain. Covering an area of approximately three hundred meters. Within this sound range, I can manipulate the direction and frequency of all sound propagation. I can also create complete silence—blocking all sound waves."
"A 300-meter domain." Lu Sheng thought for a moment. "Within your domain, what level can you achieve?"
"Within the sound domain, the power of all my sound-based laws is doubled. The effect of sound wave interference is also enhanced—it can reduce the law's operating speed by 50% against targets in the mid-stage of the Spirit Saint realm."
"What about the late-stage Spirit Saint?"
"Thirty percent."
%.
If G-131 encounters a threat at the late-stage Spirit Saint level, Xuan Yin's sonic interference can reduce the opponent's law operation speed by 30%.
This support ability is not bad.
"And your attack power? Purely lethal."
Xuan Yin paused for a moment. "Not high. The core advantage of sound-based laws lies not in lethality, but in support and disruption. My sound blade can cut through the shields of early-stage Spirit Saints, but against targets at the mid-stage or higher Spirit Saint level—it's difficult to inflict fatal damage."
"In other words, you're a support role."
"That's one way to understand it."
Lu Sheng leaned back in his chair.
Early stage of a support-type Spirit Saint.
In a one-on-one fight, an early-stage Spirit Saint might not be able to defeat a purely combat-oriented opponent. However, when fighting alongside him—using sonic interference to slow down the enemy's law operation and using sound shielding to avoid revealing their location—it is indeed effective.
"Okay. I understand."
Lu Sheng stood up.
"We're leaving in three days. Prepare everything you need in advance. I can give you fifty cubic meters of storage space."
"I don't need much. A few changes of clothes and some spirit source crystals will suffice."
"I will prepare the Spirit Source Crystal Core."
Lu Sheng walked to the door and paused for a moment.
"Xuanyin."
"exist."
"Nobody knows what's inside G-131. It might contain treasure, or it might be a death trap. Are you sure you want to come with me?"
Xuan Yin watched his retreating figure.
"I'm certain."
"Aren't you afraid of dying?"
"I fear death. But I fear even more living as a tool for the rest of my life."
Lu Sheng did not speak again.
He pushed open the door and went out.
Walking down the corridor of the residential area, he was thinking about something else.
The law imprint within the core of the Mysterious Sound Spirit Source.
The mark had more functions than he had previously known. It wasn't just for tracking location; it could also sense changes in the surrounding laws and environment.
If he takes Xuan Yin to G-131—
Through the Law Imprint, the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations could tell that Xuan Yin had arrived at a new place with an extremely high concentration of spiritual energy.
Although the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations is currently focused on devouring the remains of the Spirit Emperor, he probably won't have time to deal with these matters. However, this is still a potential hidden danger.
"We need to think of a way."
Lu Sheng returned to the secret chamber and continued to restore his spiritual energy.
At the same time, a plan began to take shape in his mind.
A proposal regarding the imprint of laws.
