450: Chapter 450 Domain Crush

The battle lasted for twenty minutes.

During those twenty minutes, Lu Sheng and Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate fought for over three hundred rounds in the space of the Old God Abyss.

The space debris was completely cleared away by the shockwaves of their battle. Within a fifty-kilometer radius—not even a single speck of dust remained.

Lu Sheng's breathing began to grow heavy.

It wasn't due to a lack of physical strength. An elemental dao body in the Spirit Immortal Realm could continuously draw energy from the faint spirit source particles in space. His stamina could be maintained at a steady level indefinitely.

However, his control over Law—it was starting to lose precision.

Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate was right. He had just broken through to the Spirit Immortal Realm—his Law framework was unstable. After twenty minutes of high-intensity combat, the precision of his Law control began to decline.

Flaws began to appear in his spear technique.

Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate caught these flaws.

Round 317. Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate's ice seal greatsword cut through a flaw in Lu Sheng's spear technique—the blade slashed across Lu Sheng's right arm. A gash was cut into the dragon scales, and dark golden blood seeped out.

Round 324. Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate's Ice Sealing Domain suddenly increased its pressure—a thin layer of ice froze the space beneath Lu Sheng's feet. His movement speed slowed by half a beat. Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate pierced through his left waist with a sword.

"Hiss—"

Lu Sheng gritted his teeth and retreated a hundred meters.

The wound on his left waist was frozen by the Ice-Sealing Law. It wasn't helping him stop the bleeding—the Ice-Sealing Law was corroding his elemental dao body.

"Damn." Lu Sheng used the Dragon God Law to force the Ice-Sealing Law out of the wound. Blue-white ice crystals scattered from the wound.

"Your precision is dropping," Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate hovered a hundred meters away. "Fight for another ten minutes—and you'll have more and more flaws."

"I know. Shut up."

Lu Sheng did not argue. Because what Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate said was the truth.

Time was on Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate's side.

The longer it dragged on—the more disadvantageous it became for Lu Sheng.

"I must change my fighting style."

Lu Sheng put away his dragon devouring spear.

Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate frowned. "Changing moves again?"

Lu Sheng did not answer.

He pressed his palms together.

Chain Resonance—Spirit Immortal Realm version.

Fire—Thunder—Water—Wind—Space—Dragon God.

Six-element Chain Resonance.

The sixth Law—the Dragon God Law—joined the chain.

This was something he couldn't do at the Peak Spirit Saint stage. Back then, he only had five Laws. But the Breakthrough to the Spirit Immortal Realm allowed the five Laws to fuse into the Dragon God Law—the Dragon God Law itself was the sixth, and the most core one.

The gray light orb of the Six-element Chain Resonance—no—the color had changed.

Dark gold.

A dark golden Law light orb formed in Lu Sheng's palm.

Its volume was half the size of the gray light orb from his Peak Spirit Saint days—but the density of the Law energy was more than ten times higher.

Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate saw that dark golden light orb.

His pupils constricted violently.

The energy contained within that light orb—made him feel danger.

True danger.

"I can't take it head-on!"

Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate's intuition was screaming.

He did not meet it head-on. The Ice Sealing Domain fully expanded—the fifteen-hundred-meter Domain crushed toward Lu Sheng!

In the Spirit Immortal Realm's Ice Sealing Domain—the operation speed of all Laws within the Domain was suppressed to 30% of normal. The temperature dropped to near absolute zero. The spirit source particles in space were frozen into a solid state.

Lu Sheng's dark golden Domain—under the crushing force of the Ice Sealing Domain—shrank rapidly.

1,200 meters—1,000 meters—800 meters—

"He's using his Domain to compress my maneuvering space. Forcing me to fight under the suppression of his Domain."

Lu Sheng's Law operation speed was suppressed to about 50% of normal. The condensation speed of the dark golden light orb also slowed down.

But the characteristic of Chain Resonance—it had a natural resistance to Domain suppression.

Once Chain Resonance started, the internal energy cycle was self-sustaining. External Law suppression couldn't reduce the internal operation speed of the chain reaction.

Under the Domain suppression—the light orb still steadily completed its condensation.

"Release!"

The dark golden light orb left his hand.

Crossing a distance of a hundred meters—within the Ice Sealing Domain—its speed was reduced by 40%. But it still reached Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate within 0.5 seconds.

Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate did not use his ice seal greatsword to block. He directly stacked seven layers of Ice-Sealing Law shields in front of himself.

Seven layers. Each layer was a condensation of Laws at the Spirit Immortal Realm level.

The dark golden light orb collided with the first layer of shields—

Shattered.

Second layer—

Shattered.

Third layer—

Shattered.

Fourth layer—the light orb's energy decayed by half. But it was still moving forward.

Fifth layer—shattered.

Sixth layer—the light orb's energy was left with less than 30%.

Seventh layer—

The light orb and the shield shattered simultaneously.

Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate was pushed back fifty meters by the residual energy impact. A crack appeared on his ice seal greatsword.

He was not injured. But the seven layers of shields—were all used up.

"Seven layers of Spirit Immortal Realm shields—and they couldn't completely block it?" Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate's voice became heavy.

Lu Sheng looked at Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate's reaction and made an assessment in his heart.

"The light orb isn't enough. His defense is too thick."

Although the dark golden light orb of the Six-element Chain Resonance was immensely powerful, in the face of Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate's seven layers of shields—it could only reach the seventh layer.

"Just a little bit short. If it were a bit stronger—just a tiny bit more—it could pierce through all of his defenses."

"Where is that missing bit?"

Lu Sheng closed his eyes, searching for the answer within his Spirit Immortal Realm Law perception.

Then he found it.

Dragon Claw.

The absorption effect of the Dragon Claw—at the Spirit Immortal Realm level—what changes would there be?

At the Peak Spirit Saint stage, the Dragon Claw could extract 15% of the target's blood-qi and 10% of their spirit source.

What about the Spirit Immortal Realm?

"Let's try."

Lu Sheng's right hand opened. The dragon runes lit up in his palm—but this time, the color of the runes changed from dark gold to—

the color of Chaos.

The color of the Eye of Chaos.
