351: Chapter 351 Where did all these Law Supplements come from?!
On the Ancient Star Path where a dark red halo flowed, space ripples rose as three figures broke through the boundary and arrived.
Their combat suits were dark silver, made of a material that was neither metal nor stone, flowing with a faint light. The person on the left had icy blue eyes, and within ten feet of him, white frost condensed on the crystal walls of the Star Path. This was the manifestation of the Natural Frost Law touching microscopic particles.
The person on the right had short hair like steel needles, with tiny electric arcs spitting from his pores. The Natural Lightning Law.
The person in the middle had a flickering, indistinct figure, emitting no elemental fluctuations at all.
All three were at the Early Stage of the Spirit Emperor Realm. Having mastered complete natural Laws, they could condense an Elemental Core within their bodies.
"The Detector's reaction is right here." The Thunder Hunter flipped his wrist, holding a metal disk in his palm. The disk's needle pointed firmly at the tall back ahead.
"The target hasn't escaped the Earth-Moon System's gravitational field yet. Excellent." The Stealth Hunter raised his right hand.
Between his fingers were eight dark green Formation Flags.
With a wave of his hand, he threw them out.
The Formation Flags vanished into the vacuum, landing precisely at eight positional nodes.
Formation markings intertwined into a massive invisible net. The Star Domain for a hundred miles around was completely sealed off. Spatial coordinates were locked. Any short-range transition techniques were rendered completely ineffective.
"Three delivery guys." Lu Sheng turned around. Twelve Black-gold Dragon Wings beat slowly behind his back.
He didn't look at the intertwined Formation markings overhead; instead, his gaze stared straight at the location of the trio's spirit source cores.
"A low-dimensional reptile swallowed some leftovers and truly thinks he's a Starry Sky Behemoth." The Frost Hunter's voice was extremely cold, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
The Thunder Hunter cracked his neck: "Activate the Spirit-Severing Formation. Quickly extract his Origin. This bounty is enough for us to trade for a Star Destroyer."
The Stealth Hunter formed hand seals.
The internal Formation hubs of the eight Formation Flags were activated.
An invisible vortex formed within the Star Path. The remaining energy of the Star Path and the spirit source contained within floating metal debris were all forcibly stripped away and drawn toward the Formation Flags. This was a technique to create an absolute energy vacuum. If a regular Spirit Source User fell into the Formation, the spirit source in their body would dissipate uncontrollably until they ran dry.
The Thunder Hunter moved. Clapping his hands together, he pulled out a dazzling lightning whip from his palms. As the whip lashed out, stray particles in the vacuum were ionized at high frequency. A hundred-zhang-long purple lightning Dragon opened its massive maw and lunged straight at Lu Sheng.
The Frost Hunter struck simultaneously. His Elemental Core pulsed. The Absolute Zero Law spread out. Tens of thousands of frost blades formed out of thin air, their tips pointing directly at Lu Sheng's blind spots.
Lightning and ice intertwined. The destructive electric field and the freezing magnetic field formed a strangulation force.
Lu Sheng stood in place, making no move to dodge.
Behind him, the red lights of the ten Xianqin Terracotta Warriors' electronic eyes flashed wildly. They drew their combat sabers, intending to step forward and form a Formation.
"Back off. Don't dirty the food," Lu Sheng ordered.
The Terracotta Warriors sheathed their sabers and retreated to guard the entrance of the Ancient Star Path.
The purple lightning Dragon bit into Lu Sheng's shoulder. The myriad frost swords all shot into his chest. There were no explosions. No violent tremors. Eclipse Black Flame seeped out from the gaps between the black-gold Dragon scales. This black flame fused the Solar Destruction True Fire and the power of Abyssal Corruption. The moment the lightning Dragon touched the black flame, the lightning Law was forcibly assimilated and dissolved. The frost blades struck the Dragon scales without even leaving a scratch before being vaporized by the extreme heat of the black flame.
The Stealth Hunter's expression changed slightly: "His Physical Body resistance is too high. Increase the Formation's suction power!"
The eight Formation Flags operated at full power. The dark green Formation markings turned red-hot. A massive suction force enveloped Lu Sheng.
The Nebula Vortex Imperial Markings on Lu Sheng's chest lit up with a faint glow. Deep within his Dantian, that ash-gray ancient desolate heaven swallowing furnace slowly turned. Forward rotation. Full output.
An unparalleled, tyrannical gravity surged out from within Lu Sheng.
The Spirit-Severing Formation was meant to be a water pump, but it had encountered a bottomless black hole. The energy flow originally established within the Formation was forcibly cut off and reversed by this incredibly overbearing gravity. The spirit source accumulated by the Formation Flags, including the elemental Laws injected into the Formation by the three hunters, all poured back into Lu Sheng's body.
*Crack.*
The Formation Flag in the northeast direction let out a wail, and its pole cracked.
"The Formation is out of control! He can even consume the energy of the Formation's foundation!" the Stealth Hunter cried out, hurriedly trying to withdraw his hand seals.
Too late.
Lu Sheng bent his knees slightly and exerted force through his feet. He stepped two deep pits into the sturdy crystal walls of the Ancient Star Path. His Physical Body broke through the speed limit. A lingering afterimage was pulled through the vacuum. He had already crossed a distance of a hundred zhang and appeared right in front of the Frost Hunter's face.
The dragon devouring spear surged forth like a Dragon from the sea. Purple-gold spear radiance flickered.
The Frost Hunter reacted extremely quickly. His Elemental Core output frantically, condensing six frost Law shields in front of him. These shields were harder than interstellar alloys and possessed a frigid thorn effect.
The spear tip struck the first shield. The Extreme Abyss Water System Law adhered to the spear shaft, its ever-changing form breaking through the solidity of the ice. Like a hot knife through butter, the six shields shattered one after another. The long spear drove straight in, piercing through the Frost Hunter's chest.
Inside the spear shaft, the dragon runes lit up with a dazzling blood-red light.
Forced extraction. Fifteen percent of the target's blood Qi and ten percent of their spirit source were stripped away within half a breath of contact. The Frost Hunter's body convulsed violently. The golden Emperor's Blood had just seeped out when it was sucked into the spear.
Lu Sheng gripped the spear shaft and gave his wrist a shake.
Destructive energy exploded. The hunter's mangled remains turned into several pieces of shredded meat, all of which were sucked into the ancient desolate heaven swallowing furnace.
The Thunder Hunter's eyes nearly split from rage. He didn't flee; instead, consumed by fury, he poured the lightning Law into his arms. Two lightning warhammers were held in his palms as he smashed them down toward Lu Sheng's head.
Lu Sheng didn't pull back the dragon devouring spear. He freed his left hand and grabbed toward the lightning warhammers. His black-gold Dragon scales withstood the violent lightning strike. Electric arcs roamed over his body, leaving only a few white marks.
Lu Sheng's five fingers pierced through the energy entity of the lightning warhammers and grabbed the Thunder Hunter's neck armor.
He exerted force. A power three thousand times beyond that of a mortal exploded. A tooth-aching sound of metal tearing rang out. Lu Sheng's arm jerked upward. The head, along with the entire spinal column, was ripped out by the roots. A golden fountain of blood erupted from the headless torso, freezing into bloody ice in the vacuum's low temperature.
In mid-air, the remains of the Thunder Hunter's head dissipated into a large amount of purple high-dimensional lightning Law fragments. Lu Sheng opened his mouth, his mouth full of snow-white Dragon teeth snapping shut. He swallowed the sky full of purple lightning shards in one gulp. His teeth closed, and the sound of thunder muffled within his mouth. He swallowed.
[Devoured high-dimensional lightning Law fragments.]
[Ancient Desolate Divine Body resistance increased. Lightning Law immunity increased by fifteen percent.]
"Too fragile." Lu Sheng exhaled a breath of turbid air and casually tossed the head away. An ash-gray light swept past, and the remaining Origin of the headless corpse was sucked dry, turning into powder.
The Stealth Hunter was terrified.
His companions hadn't even lasted two moves before dying miserably on the spot. This was by no means the "mutated virus entity" described in the bounty; this was a Universe Behemoth. His body retreated violently. His Stealth Law was fully activated. His body completely merged with the vacuum background, and his aura dropped to the freezing point.
He held his hands together like knives and suddenly sliced down from his knees. His legs fell off, and his Emperor's Blood did not scatter, instead turning into a strange blood mist that enveloped his mangled body. The Blood Escape Secret Art. Using self-mutilation in exchange for spatial transition speeds that could cross Star Domains. As the blood mist surged, it prepared to tear open the crystal walls of the Star Path.
Lu Sheng stood in place and didn't give chase. He stowed the dragon devouring spear and made a grasping motion in the air with his right hand.
The Eclipse Black Flame transformed into a hundred-zhang giant hand, slamming directly toward that patch of seemingly undisturbed vacuum. As the giant hand closed, the extreme temperature of the black flame melted the surrounding spatial curvature. The stealth state collapsed. The Blood Escape was forcibly interrupted.
The Stealth Hunter was struck by the giant black flame hand, spraying a mouthful of golden blood as his mangled body smashed back into the crystal wall of the Star Path like a meteorite. The crystal wall dented, covered in spiderweb-like cracks.
Lu Sheng walked forward slowly. The sound of his combat boots hitting the ground was dull and powerful. He walked up to the hunter, raised his foot, and stepped precisely on the other's lower abdomen, where the Dantian was. He stomped down hard.
A faint but crisp cracking sound rang out.
That Elemental Core, imprinted with the Stealth Law, was shattered by Lu Sheng's indirect force. The hunter's eyes bulged, and he let out an inhuman, shrill howl. Hundreds of years of bitter cultivation vanished like water. spirit source dissipated frantically.
Lu Sheng ground his toe: "I'm in a hurry. Next, I ask, you answer. If you get one word wrong, I'll pull out a section of your Divine Soul to light a sky lantern."
The hunter's features were contorted with pain as his hands clawed desperately at the ground: "You... the Scavenger Alliance... won't let you go. Interstellar Hunters will tear you to pieces."
Lu Sheng leaned down, his black-gold Dragon Claws reaching out to crush the hunter's left shoulder blade. Bone fragments pierced the skin, staining the dark silver combat suit red.
"Where is the Scavenger Alliance's nearest resource distribution center?" Lu Sheng's tone was steady.
The hunter trembled all over, stubbornly clinging to his remaining bottom line and remaining silent.
A wisp of Eclipse Black Flame seeped from Lu Sheng's fingertips, drilling into the hunter's body through the cracks in the broken bone. The black flame didn't burn the flesh; it specifically scorched the Soul's nerve endings. The sensation of pain was magnified a thousand times.
The hunter's mental defenses completely collapsed, and he screamed hoarsely: "X-44 Gravity Belt... Boneyard Market! That's the Alliance's Third Star Sector's supply transit station, and also a black market! Everything you want is there!"
"Boneyard Market." Lu Sheng chewed over those two words.
"Star map coordinates."
The hunter raised his only remaining right hand, forcing a point of spiritual light from his index finger. The light expanded in mid-air into a miniature star map. A red vortex-shaped gravity belt was marked in the center of the star map.
The dark sun in Lu Sheng's eyes swept over it. The sub-nodes of the Tiangong war array heavenly disk synchronized and recorded the coordinates. Once the information was collected, Lu Sheng closed his five fingers. Ash-gray light flared as the ancient desolate gravity erupted. The remaining blood Qi and Law fragments within the hunter's mangled body were completely sucked dry by Lu Sheng.
Ashes scattered.
Lu Sheng stood up and rolled his neck. His joints made a series of popping sounds like firecrackers.
"Three Emperor Realm Early Stage prey, barely enough to take the edge off my hunger."
He looked up at the boundless, deep black Universe ahead in the Star Path. The Scavenger Alliance. Scavengers of the Ten Thousand Realms. High-dimensional Origins. This bounty had sent the Universe's most desperate criminals right to his dinner table. Rather than waiting at home on Earth for delivery, it was better to go straight and raid the distribution center's warehouse.
Lu Sheng stuck out his tongue and licked away the remaining lightning sparks from the corner of his mouth. He turned to look at the standby Xianqin Terracotta Warriors.
"Return to base. Notify Luo Tianfei to keep a good eye on the house. Allocate all available storage Magical Artifacts on Dengxian Island."
The Terracotta Warriors' electronic eyes flickered, recording the command. Lu Sheng pulled his lips back into a bloodthirsty grin.
"Let's go. Time to stock up from someone else's pot."
