Chapter 416 Departing at Noon
noon.
The aircraft wasn't finished yet, but Lu Sheng couldn't wait any longer.
He made the final arrangements in the square.
"Luo Tianfei, command of Earth's defense is transferred to you. Activate fully automatic defense mode. Any Spirit Saint realm energy signal not originating from me approaching the solar system will immediately activate the anti-rule turrets."
"clear."
"Dao Yi, once the aircraft is built, take Zhou Lei and set off immediately. Luo Tianfei will send you the coordinates of the Old God Abyss. After reaching the outer perimeter of the Old God Abyss, find a hidden spot in the warship graveyard. Don't reveal your location. Wait for my signal."
"Yes."
"Li Xiaoyao."
"exist!"
"You stay on Earth. Cooperate with Luo Tianfei to defend the line."
"My lord, I think—"
"You're only at the peak of the Spirit Emperor realm. Going there would be suicide. Just stay put."
Li Xiaoyao swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
Lu Sheng looked around.
Everyone standing in the square wore a look of tension and unease. But not one of them backed down.
"I'm leaving."
Lu Sheng didn't utter any grand words. His fourteen dragon wings unfurled, and his figure soared into the sky, passing through the atmosphere and disappearing into the horizon.
The people in the square stared in the direction he disappeared, remaining silent for a long time.
Dao Yi was the first to turn around.
"What are you standing there for? The aircraft has six hours left! Get to work!"
Everyone sprang into action.
in space.
Lu Sheng flew at the maximum speed of a late-stage Spirit Saint.
The dragon's wings spread out over an enormous area in space, and each vibration could propel the body across tens of thousands of miles.
He was making plans as he flew.
It takes about eight hours to reach the Abyss of the Old Gods. Upon arrival, the first thing to do is install the Law Trap. The installation process takes about two hours. Then, spend two to three hours restoring your spiritual energy.
Based on this calculation, it will take him twelve to thirteen hours to prepare in the Abyss of the Old Gods.
If the Celestial Venerable of All Things truly set off at the same time as sending the message, he would arrive in as little as a day and a half.
The message was received late last night. About fourteen hours have passed since then.
In other words, the Celestial Venerable of All Things may arrive at the Abyss of the Old Gods in twenty-two hours.
Lu Sheng needs eight hours to arrive, plus five hours for preparation—thirteen hours in total.
There are nine hours left.
That's enough. But there can't be any mistakes.
"Faster. Faster!"
Lu Sheng increased his speed even further. The vibration frequency of the dragon wings reached its limit, and the space around his body was slightly distorted.
Seven and a half hours later.
The outer perimeter of the Old God Abyss.
Debris from the battleship graveyard drifts slowly in space.
Lu Sheng passed through the wreckage area and headed straight for the core spherical space.
The defensive array patterns in the spherical space remained intact. Dark gold ancient metal armor plates were embedded in key positions, and the gray light of the law array patterns flowed slowly within the patterns.
It has never been touched.
"good."
Lu Sheng did not enter the interior of the spherical space. He located the core node of the defensive array pattern on the outside.
That was the central hub of the entire defense system—a three-dimensional structure woven from five laws, about three meters in diameter, embedded in the outermost layer of a spherical spatial membrane.
Lu Sheng took out the gray crystal the size of a pigeon egg from his storage space.
The core of the law trap.
He carefully embedded the crystal into the core node of the defensive array pattern.
The light of the five laws overflowed from the crystal, spreading along the lines of the array and merging with the original defense system.
Then, Lu Sheng began to delineate the triggering conditions around the core nodes.
This is the most crucial step.
The trigger condition for the Law Trap is that when an external force at the peak of the Spirit Saint level forcibly breaks through the defense of the spherical space, the five Law resonance forces stored in the crystal will be released instantly, forming a devastating strike pointing in the direction of the breach.
The process of depicting the triggering conditions is extremely meticulous. Every single line of the law must be accurate to the millimeter level.
Lu Sheng was completely focused, carving each stroke carefully.
One hour.
Two hours.
finished.
Lu Sheng stepped back a few paces and examined the overall structure of the law trap.
The crystal is embedded in the core node, and the trigger patterns connect to every main line of the defensive array. The moment external force breaches the defense, energy converges along the patterns onto the crystal, then detonates—
The laws resonate.
The destructive power generated by the synchronized vibration of the five laws.
The power of this strike—
"That's enough to make him suffer."
Lu Sheng withdrew his power of law and sat down on a flat piece of wreckage.
The next step is to restore the spiritual source.
He had just used half of his spiritual energy to create the crystal, and now his spiritual energy reserves were only half of their full capacity. To fight a peak-level Spirit Saint like the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable in this state wouldn't be fighting; it would be suicide.
"Heaven-Devouring Furnace."
A gigantic, gray furnace phantom unfolded.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the Old God Abyss is extremely high. Although he is currently outside the spherical space, the warship graveyard area itself is also permeated with a large amount of ancient spiritual energy remnants.
The gravity of the Devouring Furnace spread out, greedily devouring the free-floating spiritual particles in the surrounding space.
These spiritual particles are not as high in quality as the original golden water, but they are abundant.
An hour later, Lingyuan's energy had recovered to 60%.
Two hours later, 75% were achieved.
Three hours later, 85% was achieved.
Lu Sheng opened his eyes.
Eighty-five percent. This is the maximum recovery possible without entering the spherical space to devour the primordial gold and water.
The remaining 15%—that's the price he paid for the trap of the law.
"That's enough."
Lu Sheng stood up.
His current state is as follows: late stage of Spirit Saint, 85% of his spiritual energy reserves, all five laws are fully usable, the law resonance technology is ready, and the human-dragon state is usable.
Add to that the strike of the Law Trap.
Add to that the rule-breaking cannonball brought by Dao Yi.
These are all the cards he has.
"Can we win—"
Lu Sheng clenched his fist.
"It depends on fate."
He found a secluded spot outside the spherical space, leaned against a huge piece of warship wreckage, and closed his eyes to rest.
wait.
It's the most agonizing thing before a battle.
