Chapter 445 Dragon Breath Breaks the Formation
A distance of thirty meters. A defensive circle composed of dozens of ice spikes.
Lu Sheng stared at the slowly rotating ice spikes, his mind racing with calculations.
The concentration of the law in each ice spike—a transitional state level. His dragon scales could block one or two, but if he were hit by more than a dozen at the same time—even in his human-dragon form, he couldn't withstand it.
Charge in head-on? That's suicide.
A sneak attack from behind? The ice spikes of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations cover 360 degrees, leaving no blind spots.
"Remote attack?"
The gray sphere of light in chain resonance—we never managed to fight it head-on before.
But that's because the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations also used a ball of light to counterattack. Now he's dispersing his power of law across dozens of ice spikes—if Lu Sheng concentrated all his strength to unleash a single ball of light—
He will retract the ice spikes into a shield to block them.
Lu Sheng rejected the plan in his mind. The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations was no fool. He was an old monster with over three hundred years of experience.
"Then—force him to retract his ice spikes. And then, the instant he retracts—get close."
Lu Sheng came up with a solution.
Dragon's breath.
He has never used dragon's breath before.
The characteristics of dragon breath are—extremely strong penetrating power. Furthermore, it's an area-of-effect attack.
If he were to unleash a barrage of dragon breath attacks on the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations, the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations would have to use ice spikes to block them. The instant the ice spikes retract into a shield, a gap would appear in the defensive circle.
"Let's do it this way."
Lu Sheng took a deep breath.
The spiritual energy surged up from the dantian, and after being reinforced by the five-colored law shell of the spiritual energy core, it gathered in the throat.
A burning sensation came from my throat.
Dragon patterns spread from his neck to his chin.
The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations frowned slightly upon seeing Lu Sheng's actions.
"Dragon's Breath?"
Lu Sheng opened his mouth.
A golden dragon breath as thick as a bucket shot out from his mouth—heading straight for the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations!
The temperature and penetrating power of the dragon's breath, amplified threefold in the human-dragon form, reached a terrifying level. The golden particles in the spiritual ocean were directly evaporated in the path of the dragon's breath, leaving a blank channel.
The expression on the face of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations changed.
"This penetrating power—"
He didn't take the hit head-on. The ice spikes around him contracted instantly—more than a dozen ice spikes intertwined, forming a shield wall of ice-sealing laws in front of him.
The golden dragon's breath slammed into the shield wall!
hiss hiss hiss—
The frozen shield melted rapidly under the scorching heat of the dragon's breath. The blue-white ice crystals turned into water vapor in the golden flames, and were instantly evaporated into nothingness.
"It really penetrated?!" The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations hadn't expected the dragon's breath to be so penetrating. He summoned ten more ice spikes to reinforce the shield.
A gap has appeared in the defensive perimeter.
Lu Sheng had been waiting for this moment.
As he exhaled dragon breath—his body was already moving.
The dragon's breath was coming from the front. But his man was flying to the right.
The right side—after the Celestial Venerable of All Things moved the ice spikes to the front to block the dragon's breath—is the weakest point in the defense.
Only four or five ice spikes remained.
"That's enough."
Lu Sheng's dragon breath abruptly stopped in his mouth. All his spiritual energy instantly switched to his legs—exploding!
His figure cut into the gap in the ice spikes from the right at a tricky angle.
Four ice spikes shot towards him.
The first one—the dragon scale—was withstood.
Ding! An ice spike pierced the dragon scale on his left arm, breaking two pieces of the scale and snapping the ice spike in two.
The second one—he dodged to the side. The ice spike grazed his waist.
The third one—the right dragon claw grabbed the stem of the ice spike and crushed it.
The fourth one—he didn't dodge. The ice spike pierced his left shoulder.
"hiss--"
Lu Sheng groaned. The ice spikes pierced through the dragon scales and embedded themselves in the muscles of his shoulder. The chill of the Ice Sealing Law spread along the wound into his body.
But he didn't stop.
We passed through.
The ice spike defense circle—passed through!
The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations was just five meters away.
His frozen shield was still blocking the residual heat from the dragon's breath. His side—was empty.
Lu Sheng's right dragon claw, adorned with dark golden dragon runes, struck directly at the back of the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable!
The Celestial Venerable of All Manifestations sensed the threat behind him. He whirled around—the frozen longsword in his right hand reformed—
But it was too late.
Lu Sheng's dragon claw was 0.3 seconds faster than his turn.
Snapped!
The dragon claw struck the back of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations.
The dragon runes lit up once more!
Absorb—absorb with all your might!
This wasn't a one-second contact. Lu Sheng's dragon claws gripped the back of the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable tightly, his five fingers embedding themselves into the blue-white elemental Dao matter like hooks.
The body of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations suddenly stiffened.
A terrifying force was tearing at his blood and spiritual energy!
"Get out of here!"
The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations was enraged. With a backhand slash of his right hand, his icy longsword thrust towards Lu Sheng behind him!
Lu Sheng did not dodge.
With his left hand, he took out the Dragon Devouring Spear from his storage space—the spear shaft was held horizontally in front of him, blocking the frozen longsword.
Ding--!
The two were pressed together like this—Lu Sheng held Wanxiang Tianzun's back with one hand to absorb his energy, and used his gun to block Wanxiang Tianzun's attacks with the other.
One second. Two seconds. Three seconds.
Three seconds of full absorption.
Nearly 40% of the vital energy and blood of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations were drained. Nearly 30% of his spiritual energy was also drained.
His body was rapidly weakening. The blue-white elemental substance began to fade. His regenerating left arm atrophied completely. The repair of his chest cavity also stopped—the previously filling blue-white substance began to peel off.
"That's enough!"
The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations let out a roar. At that moment, his spiritual core erupted—a reckless shockwave of laws burst forth from his body!
This shockwave was even more powerful than the one during the previous reorganization of the laws—because it was forcibly released by the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations burning his spiritual energy!
Lu Sheng was thrown away by the shockwave.
His dragon claw tore off the back of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations—taking away a large chunk of blue-white elemental matter.
Lu Sheng rolled around in the spiritual ocean a few times before regaining his balance.
Golden blood clung to the corner of his mouth. The ice spike still lodged in his left shoulder. Nearly a third of his dragon scales were broken.
But his stamina—surged from 75% to full.
No, that's not right—it's exceeded the maximum capacity.
The dragon claw absorbed far too much blood and spiritual energy. The excess is being transformed into pure spiritual energy by the Devouring Furnace and poured into the spiritual energy core.
Lu Sheng's power of law reached an unprecedented peak at this moment.
And the Celestial Venerable of All Phenomena—
Lu Sheng looked at the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable thirty meters away.
He is in very poor condition.
Half of his chest cavity was still empty. His left arm was gone. The blue-white elemental Dao substance had faded severely. The fluctuations of his laws had also become chaotic—the reckless release of the shockwave just now had made his already unstable law framework even more precarious.
"He's weak."
Lu Sheng clenched his fist.
Human-Dragon Status - One and a half minutes remaining.
"One and a half minutes left."
Lu Sheng pulled the ice spike from his left shoulder. Golden blood drifted away in zero gravity.
He gripped the Dragon Devourer Spear once more.
"Let's take this gamble."
Lu Sheng raised his foot—
