Chapter 454: Chapter 454
Finally … Lu Sheng found the answer.
His eyes gleamed faintly, and the seven immortal cells in his brow emitted a divine glow. The energy from his Stellar Immortal Body quickly extended to his left hand, regaining control. With the assistance of the divine glow and the division of his own cells, his decaying left hand began to regenerate.
It soon became full of life again, returning to a state of power and vitality. However, all traces of the mutation had completely vanished. Lu Sheng’s left hand had reverted to its original form.
The newly regenerated hand was a bit paler and more delicate than the rest of his body, but it would soon return to normal.
Lu Sheng slowly exhaled and thoughtfully muttered the answer he had found.
“Laws! It’s the power of Laws. The path of mutated cells is fundamentally impossible in this world. Or rather, it’s impossible for creatures of this world. It’s like how our world’s thermal weapons are ineffective against high-level exotic beasts. That’s because the exotic beasts are surrounded by the power of Laws from another world.”
Thinking of mutated cells as a high-end weapon from another world made sense.
The Laws of the other world rendered thermal weapons ineffective, while the Laws of this world drastically shortened the lifespan of mutated cells within native organisms.
In a way … It was fair.
Lu Sheng looked at the small bottle of poison in his hand and sighed, “No wonder even Martial Sages fall victim to this poison, and their martial instincts don’t react. Because this isn’t poison at all … It … kills the Laws!”
Once the user’s cells were infected and mutated, they would inevitably face rapid aging as a result of the mutated cells.
Whether Level or Level 10, no martial body could withstand the obliteration caused by the power of Laws. They would be forced to watch their body decay along with the mutated cells under the influence of these Laws. At best, they would be gravely injured; at worst, they could die along with the mutation.
The only way to resist Sage’s Fall was to prevent the mutation from succeeding in the first place. But that was far from easy. If someone wanted to poison you, they would certainly prepare a sufficient dose. And combating such an aggressive and invasive genetic force wasn’t something easily done.
“Then, is my earlier idea still feasible?” Lu Sheng pondered this question. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ noᴠelfire.net
Suddenly, an overwhelming surge of energy erupted from within his body. With the infusion of this sudden energy, the blood core in Lu Sheng’s chest rapidly expanded … In an instant, it swelled to the size of an adult man’s fist …
Lu Sheng instinctively crushed the blood pellet. In an instant, a torrent of blood surged through his body, like a raging tide crashing through his veins. Under this surge, the star patterns rooted deep within Lu Sheng’s flesh and bones rapidly grew …
Every time a pellet was crushed, Lu Sheng’s Stellar Immortal Physique would make significant progress. No one knew what level he could ultimately reach. Soon, Lu Sheng’s eighth immortal cell was born, shining brightly between his eyebrows, resonating with the previous seven in a lively display.
Lu Sheng, feeling the significant increase in strength, appeared somewhat confused and astonished.
“Where did that surge of energy just come from?” Actually, there was no need to think about it. What else could it be if not from the “Sage’s Fall”?
“Although the alien cells were wiped out by the power of the laws, the vitality and energy they contained still existed. Could this be why a feedback-like phenomenon occurred?”
Lu Sheng pondered for a moment and suddenly figured everything out. It was as if a new continent appeared before his eyes.
“Then I can completely use this method to cultivate with the energy of the Sage’s Fall!”
Lu Sheng, with his Stellar Immortal Physique and immortal cells, had a recovery and regeneration ability tens or even hundreds of times stronger than an ordinary martial artist.
The bodily injuries left by the “Sage’s Fall” were nothing to him. It merely consumed a bit of stamina and energy.
“Just one drop of the Sage’s Fall energy can help me birth an immortal cell, and this small bottle contains over fifteen drops …” Lu Sheng’s eyes gleamed.
Only now did he realize that his entire plan—killing the Black Devil Sect, killing Lian Su—had ultimately brought him the greatest reward: this small bottle of essence.
Lu Sheng did not hesitate and immediately used his spiritual power to extract another drop of the Sage’s Fall.
Once again, he placed the drop into the palm of his left hand, just as he had done before. Though the process was similar, the outcome was different. This time, Lu Sheng’s left hand turned dark red, his fingers curved like sickle-shaped claws, resembling a demon’s claws from an anime.
“It seems that the effects of each alienation are different … This is perfect; I can use this opportunity to experiment and see the possibilities of pushing the alienation of a single cell to its limits …” Although he knew of the power of the laws, Lu Sheng was not resigned.
Laws? Aren’t laws meant to be broken? Will the laws work on you? If they do, that only proves … you are not strong enough!
Tianshan, the highest peak within Dragon Kingdom’s borders, had attracted countless extreme sports enthusiasts and mountain climbers even before the Martial Age began.
With the rise of martial arts, more martial artists came to challenge and hone their skills here.
At this moment, two men dressed in mountaineering gear had just reached the summit of Tianshan. Standing at the peak, they gazed down at the vast white snow below, while distant seas of clouds churned.
Though the sun and moon were not visible, faced with such a magnificent view, they were overwhelmed by an inexplicable surge of passion, their hearts racing like waves.
Just then, a breeze swept through. One of the climbers noticed the cloud sea ahead, gradually revealing the outline of a mountain peak.
That mountain peak soared into the sky like a sword piercing the heavens, much higher than the summit they were currently standing on, which was considered the highest peak by the world’s standards.
Between them lay a vast sea of clouds, where no birds flew, and the scene was veiled in a misty, ethereal atmosphere, as if the mountain didn’t belong to reality but to a realm of immortals.
“So the rumors of a peak beyond the Tianshan summit are true!”
One of the climbers, a man with a determined face, looked at the distant, cloud-shrouded peak and said, “Where we are standing isn’t the real summit; that peak over there is the true ultimate peak …”
His companion raised his hand to shield his eyes, gazed ahead for a while, then smiled and said, “You just realized that? Everyone who climbs Tianshan once knows this. There’s a celestial pool on the peak beyond the clouds, and by the celestial pool resides a god among mortals! Ordinary people must halt.”
“A god among mortals, ordinary people must halt?!”
The climber’s eyes widened in disbelief as if a thought had suddenly occurred to him. “Could it be one of the three lords of our Dragon Country?”
