395: Chapter 395 Dao Yi's Breakthrough

In the following days, Dengxian Island operated at high intensity every day.

The five production lines of the Blacksmith Camp ran day and night, with Imitation Armor Plates being produced in a steady stream. Luo Tianfei dispatched more than twenty Spirit Ancestor Realm Cultivators to handle the transport and installation in shifts, causing the armor coverage around Earth to increase daily.

The training in the Cultivator Camp grew more intense by the day.

Lu Sheng spent two hours every day personally guiding the elites of the Spirit Emperor Realm in Rule Suppression Training. For the rest of his time, he either consolidated his cultivation in a secret room or went into space for Law combat drills.

He still needed time to thoroughly digest and master the power of the Mid-stage Spirit Saint Realm.

Although he had achieved a Breakthrough, many details of his control were not yet refined enough. For instance, the folding range and precision of the Space Law, the response speed of rule-making within the Small World Domain, and the coordination when activating five Laws simultaneously.

These issues couldn't be resolved simply by consuming Origin; they required solid, practical practice.

Lu Sheng designated an area in Earth's outer space where he released his Small World Domain every day to perform various extreme control tests within it.

He would instantaneously increase the gravity in a certain area of the Domain by a thousandfold, then return it to normal in the next second.

He created space cracks at the edge of the Domain, precisely controlling their size and direction.

He simultaneously activated five Laws to create a small-scale celestial phenomenon—intertwined wind and thunder, space folding, frozen flames, reverse-flowing water, and cracking earth—before withdrawing them all within a single breath.

Every instance of control consumed spirit source and honed the precision of his mastery over the Laws.

By the tenth day, Lu Sheng clearly felt that his control over his Mid-stage Spirit Saint Realm power had reached a new level.

The expansion and withdrawal speed of the Small World Domain had nearly doubled. Rule-making within the Domain was also more flexible; he no longer needed to focus intently, as the rules formed almost as soon as the thought occurred.

"Still a little bit short," Lu Sheng muttered as he flew back from space to Dengxian Island, landing on the square.

As he walked toward the training grounds, he heard a muffled thunderclap from afar.

It wasn't thunder from the sky; it was coming from the direction of the training grounds.

Lu Sheng quickened his pace.

On the training grounds, a group of Cultivators had formed a large circle. Standing in the center was Dao Yi.

Dao Yi's entire body crackled as electric arcs surged wildly across his skin. His eyes were tightly shut, his face flushed red, and his clothes had been burnt to shreds by the electrical current, leaving only a pair of shorts barely hanging on his waist.

"He's about to break through!" Zhou Lei, standing nearby, shouted in a low, suppressed voice.

Lu Sheng stood at the edge of the training grounds, not entering.

He looked at Dao Yi and understood the situation.

The spirit source within Dao Yi's body was undergoing a violent change. The Bottleneck of the Peak Spirit Sovereign Realm was torn open at this moment, and a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Spirit Source converged toward him.

The Lightning Law surged within Dao Yi, beginning to transform from "manipulating external elements" to "leveraging Heaven and Earth Spirit Source with Law."

This was the threshold of the Spirit Venerable Realm.

It was no longer simply mobilizing the spirit source within one's own body to manipulate elements, but directly using Law to influence the operation of spirit source between heaven and earth.

Boom!

Dao Yi suddenly snapped his eyes open.

A thick pillar of purple lightning shot straight into the sky from above his head, exploding into a massive Thundercloud across the sky above the training grounds.

The surrounding Cultivators were pushed back repeatedly by the airwave. Several young Spirit Ancestor Realm Cultivators were blown away directly, rolling on the ground several times.

"Spirit Venerable Realm!" Zhou Lei stared at the Thundercloud above Dao Yi's head, his eyes wide.

The Thundercloud churned for about thirty seconds before slowly dissipating.

Dao Yi stood in the center of the training grounds, his body emitting faint purple electrical light. He looked down at his hands, where fine Lightning Patterns flickered on his palms.

"I... I broke through?" His voice was a bit weak.

Only then did Lu Sheng walk over.

"Congratulations. Early Stage Spirit Venerable Realm."

Dao Yi snapped back to reality and, seeing Lu Sheng standing before him, his knees buckled, and he almost knelt.

"My Lord! I broke through!"

"I saw. Stop shouting."

Lu Sheng sized him up. Early Stage Spirit Venerable Realm; his aura was still somewhat unstable, but his Law Foundation was well-laid. The Rule Suppression Training he had undergone over the past half-month hadn't been in vain.

"Don't rush into battle for the next week. First, stabilize your Early Stage Spirit Venerable Realm, and perform a deep Fusion of the Lightning Law with the basic elements you mastered previously."

"Yes!" Dao Yi's voice trembled with excitement.

Lu Sheng turned to look at the spectating Cultivators.

"You all saw it. Ten days ago, Dao Yi was still at the Peak Spirit Sovereign Realm. Today, he broke through. What did he rely on? It wasn't talent, and it wasn't Spirit Pills or miraculous medicines; it was his desperate persistence in the Rule Suppression Training."

He glanced at Zhou Lei.

"Zhou Lei, you are the most likely to be the second to break through. Work harder for me."

Zhou Lei nodded heavily.

Lu Sheng said no more and turned to leave the training grounds.

He was very satisfied with Dao Yi's Breakthrough. Earth finally had a second Spirit Venerable Realm Cultivator. Although Dao Yi's Early Stage Spirit Venerable Realm was still insignificant in the Universe, he could at least play a greater role in Earth's defense system.

After returning to the secret room, Lu Sheng sat cross-legged on the stone bed and closed his eyes.

He began his final preparations.

There were still ten days until the arrival of Qing Ming Protector.

Before then, he had to completely digest the power of the Mid-stage Spirit Saint Realm.

Not a single bit could be wasted.
