Chapter 377 Introduction to the Laws of Space, Five Laws Gathered
Lu Sheng sat on the edge of that distorted spatial vortex for a full seven days.
For the past seven days, he had completely transformed into a madman, relentlessly battling himself. He kept repeating the same action: reaching out to grab those transparent threads of spatial laws, pulling them into his body, then having his meridians shattered, forcibly refined by the Devouring Heaven Furnace, having his body repaired by dragon runes, and then reaching out to grab them again.
This thing is unlike any other elemental law I've ever encountered before.
Fire-based laws scald, water-based laws are chilling, and lightning-based laws paralyze. These are all tangible and substantial things; you can sense their temperaments.
But the laws of space are completely invisible. They have no temperature, no color, no weight. They are the skeleton of the universe; you can't see or touch them, but they can easily shred everything tangible into powder.
Devouring the laws of space cannot be called eating; it is called "enlightenment."
Lu Sheng had to find the underlying logic of space operation among those messy fragments and then engrave that logic into his mind.
He suffered greatly for the first three days.
The moment the fragments of spatial laws entered his meridians, they went berserk. The moment the gravity of the Devouring Furnace pressed down on them, they exploded. Lu Sheng's right arm was shattered countless times in the past three days; if it weren't for the Dragon Rune protecting him, he would have become a one-armed hero long ago.
After each explosion, he would use the Devouring Furnace to collect the residue, repair his body, and then stuff a handful back into his body.
It was a repetitive, tedious, and torturous process.
By the fourth day, he had finally figured it out.
In the instant his meridians were severed, he suddenly captured the trajectory of the fragments of spatial laws.
"Fold. Extend."
Lu Sheng closed his eyes, and those two words flashed through his mind.
Folding together a long distance creates teleportation. Extending or stretching a small area infinitely creates a domain.
Isn't this the underlying logic of his devouring domains?
When the Devouring Domain opens, it essentially pulls the surrounding space into its control, which already touches upon the basics of spatial laws. He had simply been using it instinctively before, never delving into its implications.
"Turns out I've used this thing before, I just didn't understand the instructions."
The thin veil in Lu Sheng's mind was instantly pierced.
With this understanding, his efficiency increased more than tenfold when he devoured spatial laws.
On the fifth day, he was able to steadily control a small wisp of spatial law within his meridians, preventing it from causing chaos.
On the sixth day, the extracted fragments of spatial laws began to slowly flow along his meridians into his dantian and merge into the massive Spirit Venerable Nebula.
Seventh day.
A deep, muffled rumble suddenly came from Lu Sheng's body.
The sound did not come from his body, but rather exploded from the depths of his dantian.
Inside the Spirit Lord Nebula, the five laws of power converged completely at this moment.
The fury of wind, the destruction of lightning, the extreme cold of water and ice, the burning of fire, plus the folding of the newly learned space element.
Five distinct forces collided violently at the very center of the nebula.
There was no explosion, nor did they repel each other.
Under the forceful suppression and harmonization of the Devouring Furnace, these five laws began to intertwine and merge. It was like five different colored yarns being twisted into a thick rope by an unseen hand.
At the center of the nebula, an extremely tiny gray dot of light was born.
This point of light was only the size of a pinhead, but the aura it emitted caused the space within a hundred miles around Lu Sheng to tremble violently. The spatial vortexes that were originally spinning wildly were actually forced to stop for a second under the suppression of this aura.
Small World Seed.
The iconic product of the Spirit Saint Realm has finally condensed into a real entity within Lu Sheng's body.
The system notification sounded precisely on time.
The five laws converge.
The small world seed has successfully condensed.
Progress towards the Spirit Saint Realm Barrier: 85%.
Lu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes.
Deep within his pupils, two black, illusory stars spun wildly. Two materialized gray beams of light shot from his eyes, slicing two spatial rifts hundreds of miles long into the pitch-black space. The edges of the rifts were perfectly smooth, and they failed to heal for a long time.
He raised his hands and looked at them.
On the surface of the black and gold dragon scales on the back of his hand, a layer of intricate silver-gray patterns faintly emerged. This was proof that the laws of space were completely imprinted on his physical body. Now, with a mere wave of his hand, he could easily tear apart the surrounding space.
"The five laws are finally complete."
Lu Sheng clenched his fist, feeling the powerful pulsation of the gray seed in his dantian. Each pulsation brought him an endless sense of power.
Only the final 15 percent is needed.
Once he fills in 15%, he can kick open the gate to the Spirit Saint Realm.
But Lu Sheng knew very well that eating those dead people's bones was no longer effective for the last 15%.
The core of the Spirit Saint Realm is to create rules within one's own little world.
He needed a catalyst, a catalyst that would allow him to fully understand what the concept of "creation" really meant.
"The answer must be inside."
Lu Sheng stood up and stretched vigorously. His bones cracked and popped, shattering the surrounding debris.
With a sudden flap of his dragon wings, he transformed into a streak of gray light, hurtling towards the deepest part of the Old God Abyss. This time, aided by the laws of space, his speed was utterly unreasonable, leaving a long afterimage in the distance.
The surrounding environment became increasingly eerie.
The wreckage of those ancient warships had completely vanished. In their place were strange structures that Lu Sheng couldn't understand at all.
It looks somewhat like a giant stone pillar, but upon closer inspection, it is not stone at all, but some kind of law entity forcibly solidified in space.
The red pillars radiated temperatures high enough to scorch blood—that was the power of fire. The blue pillars were surrounded by ice crystals—that was the power of water. Some pillars were completely transparent, distorting the surrounding space beyond recognition.
These pillars of law were haphazardly inserted into the void, resembling a strange forest.
Lu Sheng slowed down and carefully traversed this forest of laws.
As he flew, he scanned the surroundings with his dragon eyes.
Suddenly, he stopped, suspended in mid-air, staring intently ahead.
Hundreds of miles away from him, a huge spherical space appeared.
The surface of this spherical space is covered with a translucent thin film. Various colors of light and shadow flow across the film, making it look like a giant soap bubble.
But what truly captivated Lu Sheng was the object suspended in the very center of that spherical space.
It was a skeleton.
A set of remains so large that it made Lu Sheng gasp in shock.
It was larger than any warship or corpse Lu Sheng had ever seen before. Its size truly exceeded that of a medium-sized star.
This is the corpse mentioned in the diary that Luo Tianfei read aloud.
Lu Sheng's breathing became rapid instantly.
Even though they were hundreds of miles apart, and separated by that semi-transparent membrane, he could still clearly feel the terrifying pressure emanating from the remains.
This kind of pressure is a completely different concept from that of the Spirit Immortal Realm.
It has surpassed all of Lu Sheng's current understanding of realms. It is neither the Spirit Immortal Realm nor the ethereal Spirit Emperor Realm from the ancestor's memories.
This is a higher, deeper, and unfathomable level.
Lu Sheng stared at the star-sized remains, his Adam's apple bobbing violently.
The feedback from Longmou exploded in his mind.
Unknown ancient remains. They have perished.
Realm before death: Unable to assess. Exceeds the system's current assessment limit.
Residual Origin: Extremely vast, with quality surpassing that of a Spirit Emperor.
Danger level: Extremely lethal.
Note: The remaining law imprints on this remains are still in self-defense. Any creature below the Spirit Saint realm that approaches will be instantly obliterated by the law imprints. Even forcibly devouring such a creature carries a very high probability of being killed by a backlash. It is strongly recommended that the host stay away immediately!
The system's warning was extremely harsh, practically beating Lu Sheng up.
Lu Sheng grinned as he looked at the lines of red warning text.
keep away?
I traveled across half the universe, flew for more than thirty days, and ate so many tasteless bones outside. I finally saw a Manchu Han Imperial Feast served on the table, and you're telling me to stay away?
"Screw your advice."
Lu Sheng wiped away non-existent drool from the corner of his mouth.
He only had one thought in his mind right now.
hungry.
Extremely hungry.
He's determined to eat this today. Even the King of Heaven himself couldn't stop him.
