408: Chapter 408 Re-entering the Old Divine Abyss

Lu Sheng passed through the Warship Graveyard and headed straight for the core area of the Old God Abyss.

He was far too familiar with this path.

The first time he came, it took him several days to find the passage into the core spherical space. Now, he could fly there with his eyes closed.

The space ahead grew increasingly chaotic. The fluctuations of Law shifted from faint to violent, and the density of space cracks increased sharply. An ordinary Early-stage Spirit Saint reaching this area would be hard-pressed just to deal with the space cracks.

But to Lu Sheng, who was at the Peak of Mid Spirit Saint, these cracks were like mere decorations.

With a casual wave of his Space Law, the cracks ahead were smoothed out as if pressed by an iron.

Half an hour later.

The spherical space appeared.

A spherical membrane woven from extremely fine threads of Law hung quietly in space. The membrane's diameter was less than a hundred meters, and nothing could be seen from the outside.

But Lu Sheng knew that inside this membrane was a vast space hundreds of thousands of miles in diameter.

And at the center of that space lay an ancient remnant the size of a star.

His granary.

Lu Sheng reached out his right hand, and grey Space Law surged from his palm, precisely embedding itself between the threads of Law of the spherical membrane.

The threads slowly parted, revealing a human-sized entrance.

Lu Sheng flashed inside.

The entrance closed back up behind him.

The scene inside the spherical space was exactly the same as when he had last left.

Pitch-black space. Extremely thin spirit source molecules. In the distance, a massive dark-gold sphere floated quietly.

Those stellar remains.

Lu Sheng took a deep breath.

Last time, he had stayed on these remains for nearly a month, devouring a large amount of Primal Gold Water, pushing himself all the way from the Peak of Spirit Sovereign to Mid Spirit Saint.

This time, he wanted to push from the Peak of Mid Spirit Saint to Late Spirit Saint.

"Time to eat."

Lu Sheng spread his dragon wings and flew toward the stellar remains.

He landed on the surface of the remains.

Beneath his feet was a coarse dark-gold substance. This material was extremely hard, tougher than any known metal. However, the surface was covered in countless cracks and holes—marks left by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

From those cracks and holes, a golden liquid was faintly seeping out.

Primal Gold Water.

This was what he had consumed last time.

Lu Sheng sat cross-legged next to a large crack.

"heaven swallowing furnace."

The phantom of a massive, death-grey furnace expanded behind him.

He pressed both hands against the sides of the crack, and the gravitational pull of the heaven swallowing furnace erupted, firmly latching onto the Primal Gold Water deep within the fissure.

Boom!

The golden liquid surged out along the crack like it was being sucked by a vacuum, pouring into his body through his arms.

Lu Sheng let out a muffled groan.

It was even more intense than last time.

Although his Mid Spirit Saint Peak body was more than twice as strong as it was during his last visit, the quality of the Primal Gold Water was not fixed. The deeper one went into the remains, the higher the quality of the Origin.

Last time, he consumed the gold water seeping from the outer layers. This time, the crack was deeper than before, and the quality of the seeping gold water was noticeably higher.

The spirit source churned within his body. His five Laws were shaken by the impact of the Primal Gold Water. The Small World was vibrating violently.

"Steady!"

Lu Sheng pushed the refining power of the heaven swallowing furnace to its maximum.

The grey furnace fire spun frantically, stripping, refining, and performing Fusion on the incoming Origin layer by layer.

Excess energy was poured into the Small World, condensing into high-density spirit source clouds within.

The five Laws trembled under the impact, and then—slowly began to fuse even deeper.

This was the wonder of Primal Gold Water.

It didn't just simply increase energy reserves. It pushed the Fusion and evolution of Laws at a fundamental level.

Every impact made the barriers between the five Laws thinner.

Every impact made the rules of the Small World more stable.

Lu Sheng closed his eyes, devoting all his focus to devouring and refining.

Time became meaningless in this isolated space.

One day.

Two days.

Three days.

Five days.

By the fifth day, Lu Sheng felt the changes within his body.

The barrier of Mid Spirit Saint Peak—was loosening.

That invisible wall blocking him from the threshold of Late Spirit Saint began to crack under the day-after-day washing of the Primal Gold Water.

"Almost there."

Lu Sheng increased his devouring speed.

The gravitational pull of the heaven swallowing furnace doubled. The speed at which the golden liquid poured into his body skyrocketed.

His body swayed frantically on the edge of its limit. His Meridians were stretched to the maximum. The spirit source surged through his body like a flood breaking a dam.

Seven days.

Nine days.

The tenth day.

Late at night.

Or rather, at some time on the tenth day—in this space without day or night, Lu Sheng could only judge the time based on his internal biological clock.

A muffled sound came from within his body.

It wasn't a sound in the physical sense. It was a vibration at the level of the Laws.

That barrier—shattered.

Boom!!!

The Small World expanded violently at this moment.

The Domain range of three hundred and fifty meters exploded in an instant—

Four hundred meters.

Four hundred and fifty meters.

Five hundred meters!

The five Laws spun frantically within the Small World, their degree of Fusion reaching a completely new level. The barriers between Laws almost disappeared, and the five powers merged into one, turning into an unprecedentedly thick and powerful force.

In the core area of the Small World, the sprout of the elemental Spirit Seed bloomed suddenly at this moment.

Although there was still a long way to go before reaching the true Spirit Immortal Realm, the sprout of the Spirit Seed had grown from a 'wisp' into a 'cluster'.

Lu Sheng snapped his eyes open.

Golden vertical pupils flickered in the darkness.

"Late Spirit Saint."

He whispered those three words.

Late Spirit Saint.

From the Peak of Mid Spirit Saint to Late Spirit Saint. Ten days.

The accumulation from three Spirit Immortal Realm Remains, combined with the impact of the Primal Gold Water from the Old God Abyss, finally allowed him to cross this threshold.

Lu Sheng stood up and stretched his limbs.

The sense of power in his body was completely different from before.

When he was at the Peak of Mid Spirit Saint, a full-power punch could shatter a small meteorite.

Now at Late Spirit Saint—

A single thought could shatter the space within a five-hundred-meter radius.

The Small World Domain had expanded from three hundred and fifty meters to five hundred meters. Setting rules within the Domain required almost no mental effort; it was entirely an instinctive operation.

The Fusion of the five Laws had given birth to a new ability—

Law Resonance.

When the five Laws resonated at the same frequency, the destructive power generated was not a simple addition of the five Laws, but a multiplicative amplification.

"Let's test it."

Lu Sheng raised his right hand, and the five Laws gathered in his palm.

Wind, Thunder, Fire, Water, and Space.

He activated all five powers simultaneously, making them resonate.

A grey light sphere the size of a bean emerged in his palm.

The light sphere was tiny. So small it was almost invisible.

But the energy contained within—

Lu Sheng flicked it casually.

The light sphere flew out three hundred meters and struck a protruding piece of dark-gold substance on the surface of the stellar remains.

A silent explosion.

That dark-gold protrusion simply vanished. It wasn't blown to pieces; it was erased from the material level. The power of Law Resonance tore through the space and matter in that area, turning it into nothingness.

Lu Sheng looked at the circular crater left by the explosion, and a grin slowly spread across his face.

This power—

If the Qing Ming Protector took a hit like this, even if he were a Mid Spirit Saint, he'd lose a layer of skin.

"That's enough."

Lu Sheng did not linger in the Old God Abyss.

He had achieved the cultivation of Late Spirit Saint. He could continue consuming, but he had other matters to attend to now.

Profound Sound was still waiting outside.

He had stayed in the Old God Abyss for ten days.

"I wonder if she waited obediently."

Lu Sheng put away the heaven swallowing furnace, spread his dragon wings, and flew toward the exit of the spherical space.
