454: Chapter 454 A Disheveled Return

"Let's go home."

After Lu Sheng finished saying those words, he turned and left. His movements were crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

Profound Sound followed behind him, looking at his tattered dragon scales and his swaying dragon tail, her heart filled with a complex mix of emotions.

Go home. Easier said than done.

Her mind was still in a daze even now.

A Peak Spirit Saint fought a life-and-death battle with an old monster who had one foot in the Spirit Immortal Realm. Midway through, the old monster broke through. Then, this Peak Spirit Saint also broke through. Finally, the one who just broke through beat that old monster, who had cultivated for hundreds of years, to death.

Who would believe such a thing if it were told?

Never mind others; even she, who had seen it with her own eyes, could hardly believe it.

"Your Excellency." Profound Sound couldn't help herself; she caught up by a few steps and flew alongside Lu Sheng. "How... how on earth did you do it?"

"Which part?" Lu Sheng didn't even look back.

"The... Breakthrough. And that final strike."

Profound Sound still remembered that dark-gold pillar of destruction. It had melted Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate's Ice Sealing Domain and seven layers of shields as if they were made of paper. The power was such that even watching from a distance, she felt as if her law body was about to be torn apart.

That was definitely not an attack that could be unleashed by someone in the Early Spirit Immortal Realm.

"Oh, that," Lu Sheng's tone was very flat. "A final struggle before death; I got lucky, and it worked."

"A final struggle before death?" Profound Sound was almost choked by this answer.

This was just a struggle? This was punching a hole in the heavens!

She wanted to ask more, but Lu Sheng waved his hand.

"Don't ask. My mind is a mess right now, and I don't want to talk." He truly didn't want to talk. It wasn't that he was brushing her off; he was genuinely exhausted.

The physical exhaustion was rapidly recovering under the repair of his Spirit Immortal Realm elemental dao body, but the mental drain wasn't so easily replenished. Every second spent against Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate was like dancing on the edge of a blade, his mind highly tense. Now that he had relaxed, he felt as if his entire brain was empty.

Moreover, his mind was now filled with that Chaos-colored Spirit Emperor Origin.

That thing was a super bomb and also a super tonic. How to safely consume it was his primary concern now.

"Then... what about Qing Ming?" Profound Sound changed the subject.

"Him?" A cold light flashed in Lu Sheng's dragon pupils. "He won't get away."

"But he already..."

"I know he ran away," Lu Sheng interrupted her. "But just as he left something on me, I left something on him as well."

Profound Sound was stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

"He hit me with an Ice-Sealing Ray. Although the wound has healed, my heaven swallowing furnace has remembered his law aura. Similarly, my Dragon God Law has invaded his body. He might not feel anything now, but as long as he is still in this Universe, I will be able to find him."

Laws in the Spirit Immortal Realm are no longer simple energy attacks. Every collision of Laws is an exchange of information.

Qing Ming thought he had escaped, but he didn't know that his Law 'ID card' had already been 'scanned and archived' by Lu Sheng's System.

"A Peak Mid Spirit Saint Stage... he had better pray he doesn't run into me," Lu Sheng thought to himself.

He didn't have time for him now. Once he digested the Spirit Emperor Origin and his strength rose to the next level, finding a Peak Mid Spirit Saint Stage would be like crushing a bug.

The two of them flew through space in silence.

The exit of the Old God Abyss was not far away—a massive spatial crack, like an ugly scar stretched across the dark backdrop of the Universe.

Just as they were about to fly out of the crack, the surrounding space debris suddenly surged.

Tens of thousands of metal remains and rock fragments, as if stirred by an invisible giant hand, formed a chaotic debris storm that surged toward them.

"It's the aftershock of the spatial collapse," Profound Sound judged immediately.

The spherical space had completely collapsed, triggering a chain reaction that made the surrounding spatial structure extremely unstable. In such a debris storm, every fragment flew at near-light speed; even a Peak Spirit Saint expert would lose a layer of skin if caught in it.

Profound Sound instinctively moved to open a sonic shield, but Lu Sheng was faster.

He merely lifted his eyelid and glanced at the overwhelming debris storm.

Then, he extended a finger.

Within his dark-gold dragon pupils, a cross-shaped halo turned slightly.

"Freeze."

A single word.

The entire world seemed as if the pause button had been pressed.

That violent, chaotic debris storm, capable of tearing everything apart, abruptly stopped in mid-air.

Every fragment, regardless of size or speed, came to a standstill a hundred meters away from them.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Profound Sound's sonic shield had only halfway condensed. She stood there with her mouth agape, staring at this inconceivable scene.

What was this?

Space Law? Time Law?

No, neither.

She could feel that Lu Sheng was using his own Dragon God Law. Yet, this Law exhibited effects similar to Space Freeze and time suspension.

Was this the Spirit Immortal Realm?

A single thought, and reality follows the word?

"Let's go. Why are you staring?" Lu Sheng withdrew his finger and walked through the middle of the frozen debris storm as if passing through a giant 3D model.

Profound Sound snapped out of it and hurried to follow.

After they passed through the debris storm, Lu Sheng snapped his fingers without looking back.

Snap.

Behind them, the frozen debris storm instantly turned into the finest cosmic dust.

There was no explosion, no shattering; it simply... decomposed silently.

Profound Sound's throat bobbed.

She felt that her understanding of the Spirit Immortal Realm might need to be reconstructed.

Lu Sheng was actually a bit surprised himself.

He had just wanted to test how effective the Dragon God Law of the Spirit Immortal Realm really was.

Previously, at the Peak Spirit Saint stage, to freeze these fragments, he would have had to first use the Space Law to frame the area and then use other Laws to fill and suppress it, which was time-consuming and laborious.

Now, he only needed a single thought.

The Dragon God Law itself integrated the characteristics of five basic Laws. His 'Freeze' command earlier had actually applied the 'imprisonment' characteristic of the Space Law directly to this area through the 'master switch' of the Dragon God Law.

Simple, crude, and efficient.

"It's satisfying, but it's a bit of a mana drain." Lu Sheng glanced at his spirit source, which had just recovered to ninety percent; it had dropped by another five percent.

It seemed that this large-scale manifestation of words still couldn't be used as a common attack.

The two of them quickly flew out of the Old God Abyss crack.

A familiar black spaceship, shaped somewhat like a deep-sea stingray, was hovering quietly in the space outside the crack.

It was Profound Sound's vessel, the 'Silent Walker.'

The moment he saw the spaceship, Lu Sheng's long-tense nerves finally truly relaxed.

"Profound Sound, set the course for Planet 135." He stepped onto the ship's external Deck, his voice carrying a trace of exhaustion. "I need to enter seclusion."

Profound Sound nodded and didn't ask further.

She knew that after an earth-shaking battle, it was time to digest the spoils of war.

And Lu Sheng's spoils this time were enough to shake the entire Old God Domain.
