376: Chapter 376 Eating all the way, bones of divine generals everywhere

Time was impossible to calculate in a godforsaken place like the Old God Abyss. There was no sun, no moon, and not even a single living thing to serve as a reference. Everywhere was filled with either silent scrap metal or the pitch-black Void Realm.

Lu Sheng didn't know how long he had been floating in these ancient battlefield ruins. It could have been three days, or perhaps half a month. He now considered himself a scavenger picking through junk. Wherever there was a high-level corpse, he would dive right in.

The twelve Black-gold Dragon Wings on his back flapped occasionally, pushing him to weave through the wreckage of warships that were absurdly large.

Every time he encountered the remains of an ancient powerhouse, he would stop, perch on their skull, and absorb the residual Law Fragments inside.

The second set of remains appeared between two warships that had crashed into each other. It was a snake-like monster of exaggerated proportions, coiled into a ball. Its scales were dark red, each one as large as a small hill on Earth.

Lu Sheng flew over and suspended himself in front of the snake's head.

His Dragon Eyes automatically provided information. In life, it was at the Early Stage of the Spirit Immortal Realm, with residual high-level Fire and Poison Laws in its body.

"Forget the Poison Law, the Fire Law is perfect for a supplement." Without another word, Lu Sheng landed directly on the snake's head and thrust both hands downward.

The gravity of the heaven swallowing furnace erupted. The Fire Law Fragments sealed within the bones were forcibly dragged out by him, rushing into his body through his arms. This Fire Law was even more violent than his own Eclipse Black Flame; it began to run wild as soon as it entered his Meridians, making white smoke rise from his entire body from the heat.

"That's the stuff! More!" Lu Sheng gritted his teeth. Instead of stopping, he increased the gravity. The Eclipse Black Flame in his body pounced, entangling with the foreign Fire Law before finally devouring and assimilating it.

After finishing the snake, he flew forward again.

The third set of remains belonged to a six-armed alien giant, drifting in space in two halves. It was at the Middle Stage of the Spirit Immortal Realm. Spatial Law Fragments remained in its body. Lu Sheng tried to take a breath of it, but as a result, a piece of flesh was sliced right off his finger by the Space Law, making him shake his hand in pain. He hadn't yet touched the threshold of the Space Law, and trying to force it down could easily cause trouble, so he had to let it go for now.

The fourth, the fifth, the sixth...

The deeper he went, the more remains there were, and they grew larger in size and significantly higher in quality.

Lu Sheng ate his way through, and the spirit venerable nebula in his body spun faster and faster. Stimulated by these ancient fragments, the four Laws of Wind, Thunder, Water, and Fire were constantly undergoing qualitative changes. His understanding of these four Laws had already reached a terrifying level.

Until he encountered the twelfth set of remains.

It was a set of remains at the Peak of the Spirit Immortal Realm.

Lu Sheng stopped in mid-air, staring fixedly ahead. The dragon blood in his body was boiling frantically, his heart was thumping, and even his breathing became heavy.

It was a Dragon.

A True Dragon.

The remains of a giant dragon clad in white armor.

The size of this white dragon was frighteningly large; coiled there, it was bigger than a small life-bearing planet. Although it had been dead for who knows how many tens of thousands of years and its flesh had long since weathered away, leaving only a bleached skeleton and some broken scales, the dragon might etched into its bones still pressed down overwhelmingly.

The Dragon God Sequence in Lu Sheng's body was resonating frantically. It was an instinctive reaction to encountering a Bloodline from the same source.

"An Ancient True Dragon..." Lu Sheng swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the surging dragon blood in his body, and flew a bit closer.

Dragon Eyes activated.

Ancient White Dragon Remains. Deceased.

Realm in life: Peak of the Spirit Immortal Realm.

Residual Origin: Medium, extremely high quality.

The remarks popped up: These Dragon Clan remains are highly compatible with the host's Dragon God Sequence. Devouring them can significantly accelerate the evolution of the Dragon God Sequence while obtaining the Frost Law Legacy of the White Dragon Clan. Priority devouring is recommended.

"Highly compatible with me? It can even accelerate the sequence evolution?" Lu Sheng's eyes turned green with greed as he looked at those words.

Wasn't this a super meal specially prepared for him by the Heavens?

He didn't want to wait a single second longer. He transformed into a streak of black-gold light and flew onto the massive white dragon skull. He found a flat spot, sat down, and pressed both hands firmly onto the dragon bone.

"Dinner time!"

Lu Sheng gave a low growl, and the ancient desolate heaven swallowing furnace in his body erupted completely.

The ashen-gray phantom of the giant furnace instantly shrouded the space for hundreds of miles around, enveloping the entire head of the white dragon.

The terrifying gravity plunged directly into the depths of the white dragon's bone marrow.

Boom!

The residual Origin and Law Fragments on the white dragon remains flooded into Lu Sheng's body like a bursting dam.

The feeling this time was completely different from devouring those messy alien remains from before.

Because of the resonance of the dragon blood, the white dragon's Law Fragments didn't produce even a hint of rejection after entering Lu Sheng's body. They were like children who had been away from home for years finally finding their mother, automatically traveling along Lu Sheng's Meridians and finally merging perfectly into the framework of the Dragon God Sequence.

Lu Sheng could clearly feel that his body was undergoing earth-shattering changes.

The black-gold dragon scales on his skin were thickening, their color becoming deeper, and a ring of silver-white patterns even appeared around the edges. The twelve dragon wings on his back were constantly lengthening and widening, with ice-blue light flickering on the wing membranes. The concentration of dragon blood in his body was skyrocketing, and every heartbeat pumped out an extremely massive amount of power.

More importantly, the white dragon's Frost Law Fragments were violently colliding and merging with his original Water Law.

Water and ice were originally from the same source.

Under the forced catalysis of the Frost Law, the Extreme Abyss Black Water in Lu Sheng's body began to undergo a brand-new mutation. Layers of silver-white frost began to form within the black current.

The temperature plummeted.

Lu Sheng felt as if his internal organs were about to be frozen solid. A single breath he exhaled condensed directly into ice shards in the vacuum. The left half of his body was covered in white frost, and even his blood was almost stopping its flow.

"Fuck! It's so damn cold!" Lu Sheng cursed loudly.

He quickly mobilized the Eclipse Black Flame in the right half of his body. The black flames rose up, desperately resisting that extreme cold.

On the left was extreme frost capable of freezing space, and on the right was the Eclipse Black Flame capable of burning through everything.

The three extreme powers of Water, Fire, and Ice tumbled frantically inside him, using his Meridians as a battlefield.

This pain was a hundred times worse than being flayed alive. Any other Cultivator in the Spirit Venerable Realm would have long since been blown apart by this power.

But Lu Sheng happened to be a madman. What he feared least was pain.

"Suppress it for me! Once you're in my stomach, you follow my rules!"

Lu Sheng gritted his teeth so hard his gums bled. He frantically drove the heaven swallowing furnace, crushing and refining those rampaging powers bit by bit, then forcibly kneading them together.

The devouring process lasted for three whole days and nights.

During these three days, Lu Sheng didn't move an inch, sitting on the dragon head like a statue.

Over these three days, the white dragon's remains rapidly shrank from the size of a small planet. The essence in the bones was completely drained, turning into ashen-gray powder that finally dispersed under the slight gravity of the vacuum.

When the last trace of the Frost Law was absorbed into his body, Lu Sheng finally stood up from the dragon head.

He exhaled a long breath. This breath shot out and directly froze a piece of warship wreckage hundreds of meters ahead into a block of ice.

The System notification sounded in his mind.

Devoured Ancient White Dragon remains.

Dragon God Sequence evolution accelerated.

Frost Law initial Fusion complete. Current Laws mastered: Wind, Thunder, Water (includes Frost), Fire.

Progress toward Spirit Saint Realm barrier: Sixty percent.

"Sixty percent now." Lu Sheng squeezed his fists, feeling the power within him that was almost ready to explode.

His current types of Laws could barely be counted as four and a half. Because the Water Law had merged with the white dragon's frost, it had undergone a qualitative change, and its power had multiplied many times over, so counting it as one and a half was no problem at all.

But the hard requirement for the Spirit Saint Realm was that one must master five or more elemental Laws before being able to create a Small World.

He was still short by the last one and a half.

"There are plenty of good things in this place; I'll keep going deeper."

Lu Sheng stretched his stiff neck, his bones letting out cracks like thunder. The dragon wings on his back flapped suddenly, and his speed was more than twice as fast as before as he continued to dive into the deepest part of the Old God Abyss.

The further in he went, the more sinister the environment became.

The degree of disorder in the Space Law had reached a point where it was visible to the naked eye.

As Lu Sheng flew, places that were originally empty would suddenly twist into a giant vortex. Those vortexes were like cosmic meat grinders, sucking in all nearby wreckage and grinding it to powder.

In some places, the flow of time was completely chaotic.

Once, Lu Sheng wasn't paying attention and passed through a region that looked normal. As a result, as soon as his left foot stepped in, the skin on his entire leg instantly shriveled, the muscles atrophied, and the bone aged, as if it had suddenly grown hundreds of years older.

If he hadn't reacted extremely quickly and instantly covered his leg with the gravity of the heaven swallowing furnace to suck away that eerie Temporal Law, his leg would have been ruined on the spot.

"This shitty place is just one pit after another." Lu Sheng cursed as he withdrew his leg, watching the muscles slowly regain their fullness, his heart becoming a bit more wary.

But despite his wariness, an extremely crazy idea popped into his head.

Weren't these spatial and temporal anomalies essentially higher-level Laws?

The Five Elements are Laws, and Space and Time are also Laws—the top-tier Laws that constitute this Universe.

"If I can eat the Space Law into my stomach as well... then wouldn't the quota for these five Laws be filled immediately?"

Lu Sheng stopped in mid-air, his eyes fixed on a slowly rotating Spatial Vortex ahead.

He licked his lips, the greed in his gut stirred once again.

He flew to the edge of that Spatial Vortex and stopped. The space at the edge of the vortex was torn into transparent threads; that was the manifestation of pure Space Law.

Lu Sheng reached out his right hand, cautiously reaching toward those transparent threads.

As soon as his fingertip touched a thread—

Screech!

An extremely overbearing sense of tearing came through. The Space Law completely ignored his black-gold dragon scales, slicing in through his fingertip and attempting to cut his finger in half.

"Hiss..." Lu Sheng sucked in a breath of cold air.

This thing was ten times more violent than the white dragon's Frost Law. It didn't listen to reason at all, slicing whatever it touched.

"Quite a temper, huh?" Lu Sheng's gaze turned fierce. "I even eat Lightning Tribulations for breakfast, you think I'm afraid of your little cutting force?"

He didn't pull back his hand; instead, he directly activated the heaven swallowing furnace.

Ashen-gray gravity gushed from his fingertip, firmly entangling those violent Space Law threads.

"Get in here!"

Lu Sheng gave a violent yank, pulling those threads along with the surrounding distorted space directly into his Meridians.

The moment the threads entered his body, Lu Sheng's entire right arm exploded into a cloud of blood mist. His Meridians were sliced into a complete mess.

But he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound. The heaven swallowing furnace ran frantically, devouring the shredded Meridians and the Space Law together into the furnace and beginning to forcibly refine them.

This process was extremely painful and extremely slow.

But Lu Sheng had plenty of patience. He sat cross-legged at the edge of the Spatial Vortex, closed his eyes, and began to stubbornly gnaw on this toughest of bones.
