Chapter 420 Law Trap Triggered
What does the full power of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations look like?
Lu Sheng found out very quickly.
The domain of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations suddenly changed.
The original 600-meter-wide frozen area suddenly expanded to 800 meters.
The concentration of laws within the domain more than doubled.
Lu Sheng's 500-meter range began to shrink rapidly under the pressure of this surge—450 meters, 400 meters, 350 meters—
"not good!"
Lu Sheng unleashed his full power of laws to resist the compression, but with little effect. The domain suppression of the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable at his full power was something a late-stage Spirit Saint could not withstand.
The area was compressed to 300 meters before it could barely stabilize.
300 meters versus 800 meters.
The gap is too big.
Within the full power domain of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations, Lu Sheng's laws operated at a rate reduced by at least 40%. The temperature of the fire laws was suppressed, the speed of the lightning laws was slowed down, and even the sensitivity of the spatial laws became sluggish.
He was like a boxer with his hands and feet tied, facing an opponent who was completely unrestrained.
The Celestial Venerable of All Things did not use ranged attacks again.
He walked straight over.
The pace was slow. But with each step, the surrounding space seemed to solidify.
Lu Sheng attempted to launch a Law Resonance Attack—but Law Resonance requires five laws to vibrate at the same frequency, and with the domain suppressed, the synchronization accuracy of the five laws decreased significantly.
The resonance failed.
The energy dissipated on his fist, failing to form the deadly gray sphere of light.
"The resonance failed?" The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations clearly noticed as well. "Your law resonance requires extremely high synchronization precision. Under the suppression of my domain, your synchronization precision does not meet the triggering conditions."
He was right.
The Law Resonance is Lu Sheng's strongest card. But this card cannot be played when suppressed by the domain.
The Celestial Venerable of All Things walked to within ten meters of him.
"Give up. You can't beat me."
Are you sure?
"I am certain."
"Then go try to break through the defense behind it." Lu Sheng took a step back and moved to the side of the spherical space membrane.
The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations glanced at him, then looked at the spherical space.
"You want to lure me into attacking a spherical defense? Is there a trap you've laid inside?"
Lu Sheng's heart tightened.
"Don't look at me like that." The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations shook his head. "I've lived for over six hundred years. Your little schemes are written all over my face."
He turned to look at the defensive array patterns in the spherical space.
"Ancient metal armor plates, Five Elements Law array patterns, defense level—between mid-stage and peak Spirit Saint. Not bad. Much stronger than most late-stage Spirit Saint formations."
"but--"
The Celestial Venerable of All Things raised his right hand.
Dark blue, frozen energy condensed in his palm.
This time, the energy density is more than ten times higher than before.
"No matter how good the formation is, it's meaningless against an absolute power difference."
He slapped his palm onto the defensive array patterns in the spherical space.
boom--!
The dark gold armor plate surface was instantly covered with grayish-white freezing patterns. The light of the law array patterns flickered wildly, attempting to resist this freezing power.
But the gap is too big.
The first palm strike of the Celestial Venerable of All Things caused cracks to appear in the armor plate.
"The first time," he said.
The second palm strike was delivered.
The cracks widened. The array of laws began to break.
"The second time."
The third palm strike.
A section of the armor plate shattered completely, revealing the thin film of law threads beneath.
"The third time."
The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations looked at the thin membrane.
"It's pretty sturdy. But it can only block a couple more hits."
He raised his hand, ready to strike a fourth time.
Lu Sheng stood to the side, waiting.
This is the moment we've been waiting for.
The third palm strike of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations had broken through the armor plates, but not completely penetrated the defense. The trigger condition for the Law Trap is the instant when external force breaks through the defense.
The third strike did not trigger.
Because the defenses have not yet been completely breached.
The fourth palm strike—
The Heavenly Venerable of All Things slapped down with his palm.
boom!
A small area of the thin film of the law thread was punctured.
External forces breached the defenses.
Law Trap - Triggered!
Om-!
An extremely dazzling gray light burst forth from the core node of the defensive array!
The law crystal that sealed away 50% of Lu Sheng's spiritual energy exploded at this moment. The destructive power generated by the resonance of the five laws converged along each main line of the array, forming a gray pillar of light with a diameter of three meters.
Heading straight for the face of the Celestial Venerable of All Phenomena!
The pupils of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations suddenly contracted.
too close.
His palm was still pressed against the defensive array patterns.
The beam of light shot out from the inside of the defensive array, less than a meter away from his face.
The reaction speed of a peak Spirit Saint is indeed terrifying—he turned his head the instant the beam of light shot out.
But it was still a fraction of a second too late.
The gray beam of light grazed his right shoulder and right arm.
The power of the resonating laws touched his body the instant—
puff.
A cloud of blood mist exploded on the right shoulder of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations.
The dark gold short-sleeved brown right sleeve was completely torn apart, revealing the arm below—with a horrific wound running from the shoulder to the elbow.
Golden blood gushed out in large quantities.
"you--!"
The Celestial Venerable of All Things suddenly retreated ten steps, clutching his right shoulder.
For the first time, an expression of anger appeared on his face.
It's not the pain of being hurt. It's the anger of being schemed against.
Lu Sheng was overjoyed when he saw the wound.
bingo!
The law trap has taken effect!
The Celestial Venerable of All Manifestations suffered moderate to severe injuries to his right shoulder and right arm. The aftershocks of the Law Resonance at the wound site still lingered, continuously tearing at the cells around the wound edges.
For a short period of time, it was difficult for him to exert force with his right hand.
His right hand—the same hand he had been using to attack.
"You set a trap." The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations stared at Lu Sheng.
"Otherwise what? Me, fight you head-on? Am I out of my mind?"
The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations took a deep breath.
The golden blood at the wound stopped flowing under the control of his power of law. However, the aftershocks of the resonance continued to cause damage, preventing the wound from healing immediately.
"Good. Very good," said the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations, enunciating each word clearly. "I underestimated you."
He lowered his right hand. His right arm hung limply at his side, clearly unusable.
But he still has his left hand.
"You injured one of my arms with a trap," the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations said to Lu Sheng, "but you must have consumed at least thirty percent of your spiritual energy for this trap, right?"
"Fifty percent." Lu Sheng did not deny it.
The expression on the face of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations changed slightly.
"Fifty percent of your spiritual energy in exchange for one of my arms. Do you think it's worth it?"
What do you think?
The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations remained silent for two seconds.
"Not worth it. Because from now on—I can do it with just one hand."
