443: Chapter 443 Origin Explosion

Lu Sheng was frozen in place.

Only his eyeballs could move in his entire body.

Space Freeze—this had already exceeded the normal scope of the Ice-Sealing Law. This was a mutated skill produced by the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate forcibly fusing the Ice-Sealing Law and Space Law while in a transitional state between Peak Spirit Saint and the Spirit Immortal Realm.

Although his Law framework hadn't completed the Spirit Immortal Realm Breakthrough, that unstable transitional state allowed him to obtain a brief ability to fuse cross-system Laws.

Ice-Sealing plus Space.

Freezing space itself.

The Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate floated thirty meters away. Half of his chest cavity was empty, and his left arm was gone. Golden blood was still slowly seeping from the wounds.

But he was alive.

He stared at Lu Sheng, his ice-blue pupils filled with gloom.

"So you are the one on Earth—"

His voice was intermittent. Half a lung lobe had been blown to pieces, and speaking required using Law power to vibrate the air.

"Dragon God Sequence."

He saw the dragon horns on Lu Sheng's head and the dark-gold dragon scales on his body.

"I thought you were only a Late Spirit Saint." The Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate's voice became increasingly steady. His self-repair ability was taking effect—new ice crystal structures began to grow from the edges of his ruined chest cavity, temporarily sealing the wounds. "I didn't expect you to have broken through to Peak Spirit Saint."

"And even launched a sneak attack on me."

"Not a bad method."

After the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate finished speaking, he slightly raised his right hand.

An ice-blue Law long-thorn condensed on his fingertip.

"However—this is where it ends."

His finger pointed right at the center of Lu Sheng's forehead.

A distance of thirty meters. Space was frozen. Lu Sheng couldn't move.

The Law long-thorn advanced slowly—

Ten meters.

Five meters.

Three meters.

Lu Sheng's eyeballs stared at the long-thorn that was getting closer and closer.

His mind was racing at high speed.

Space was frozen—but his heaven swallowing furnace was still operating. Because the heaven swallowing furnace was internal, it wasn't directly affected by external Space Laws.

What could the heaven swallowing furnace do?

Devour.

Devour the surrounding spirit source particles.

And the concentration of spirit source particles in this spherical space—was dozens of times higher than outside.

If he used the heaven swallowing furnace to frantically devour the surrounding spirit source particles—creating a spirit source vacuum zone around his body—

Space Freeze required spirit source particles as a medium to maintain. Without the support of spirit source particles, cracks would appear in the freeze.

"Devour!"

Lu Sheng issued the command in his mind.

The gravitational pull of the heaven swallowing furnace instantly surged to its limit!

The spirit source particles within a three-meter radius of his body were frantically sucked into his body. A visible collapse appeared in the golden spirit source ocean around him—as if someone had created a whirlpool in water.

Chirp—

Cracks appeared in the Space Freeze.

The Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate's expression changed.

"What—"

Lu Sheng's right hand broke free from within the frozen cracks!

But the Law long-thorn had already reached a position two meters in front of him. There was no time to dodge.

"Origin Detonation!"

Lu Sheng didn't dodge.

He used his freed right hand—and slammed it hard against his own spirit source core.

Five percent of the Origin energy in the spirit source core was forcibly detonated in this instant!

Boom—!!!

A destructive shockwave that surpassed the limits of a Peak Spirit Saint exploded outward from the center of Lu Sheng's body!

The power of this shockwave—was even more fierce than the shockwave from the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate's Law reorganization.

Because this was five percent of a Peak Spirit Saint's Origin—all that energy released in an instant!

The shockwave shattered the Space Freeze.

The shockwave shattered the Law long-thorn.

The shockwave slammed into the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate—

The Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate's right hand propped up a layer of Ice-Sealing Law shield in front of him. But the shield only lasted for 0.1 seconds before shattering in front of the shockwave.

The residual power of the shockwave hit the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate's body.

His body was sent flying. His battered frame tumbled through the spirit source ocean.

But he didn't die.

The Law power in the transitional state shed most of the shockwave's energy at the last moment.

Lu Sheng wasn't feeling good either.

The price of Origin Detonation—a permanent loss of five percent of his spirit source capacity.

His total spirit source volume dropped directly from full to a ninety-five percent cap. Furthermore, the impact of the explosion on his internal organs left them churning. A metallic sweetness welled up in his mouth.

He swallowed the blood back down.

The Human-Dragon State was still active. But nearly three minutes had already passed.

Only seven minutes left.

Within seven minutes—he had to end the battle.

The Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate stabilized his form fifty meters away. He looked down at his battered body—half a chest cavity, one arm, and ice crystal cracks all over.

"You—"

He looked up, staring at Lu Sheng.

The gloom in his ice-blue pupils had disappeared.

In its place was an emotion Lu Sheng hadn't expected.

A smile.

The Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate was smiling.

"Interesting."

His body began to change.

Within the ruined chest cavity—ice crystals no longer grew to seal the wounds. Instead, starting from the edges of the wounds, a brand-new, blue-white substance was growing.

That wasn't ice.

That was—the embryonic form of an elemental dao body.

A characteristic of the Spirit Immortal Realm.

Although the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate hadn't completed the Spirit Immortal Realm Breakthrough, in this transitional state, his body had already begun to transform into an elemental dao body.

The blue-white elemental dao body substance filled his chest cavity, growing new ribs and new organs.

Even—at his left shoulder, a brand-new blue-white arm was slowly growing.

Self-repair.

It wasn't Law-based repair. It was a self-Rebirth at the level of an elemental dao body.

"Not good." Lu Sheng's pupils constricted.

If he let the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate completely repair his body—combined with that unstable transitional state's Law power—

Lu Sheng wouldn't be able to beat him.

"Can't wait any longer."

Lu Sheng pressed his hands together again.

A fourth gray light sphere began to condense.

The Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate looked at the gray glow in Lu Sheng's palms, the smile on the corners of his mouth remaining.

"Doing it again?"

His right hand—that intact right hand—was raised.

A light sphere also condensed in his palm.

Ice-blue.

That was the ultimate condensation of the Ice-Sealing Law in the transitional state.

Two light spheres—one gray and one blue—formed simultaneously in the palms of the two people fifty meters apart.

The spirit source ocean surged violently under the Law radiation of the two light spheres.

Golden spirit source particles were torn by the two opposing Law powers, emitting a buzzing resonance.

Cracks also began to appear on the inner wall of the spherical space's Law barrier—with two Peak Spirit Saint-level Law attacks being released in this closed space, even the spherical space itself was almost unable to bear it.

"Release," the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate said.

The ice-blue light sphere left his hand.

"Go!" Lu Sheng roared.

The gray light sphere left his hand.

The two light spheres collided head-on at the midpoint of fifty meters—at the twenty-five-meter mark.

BOOM——————!!!!
