The light blue cold spring kept releasing formless cold air, but Lu Sheng could not sense its presence at all.
It was as if the cold spring before him was merely an illusion.
He reached out to touch it, but as expected, he could not touch anything. It was as if his hand had reached into cold mist. The cold spring did not have a physical body.
He muttered to himself for a moment, then retracted his hand and closed his eyes. He slowly spread his spirit to the surface of his skin to sense the ripples in the outside world.
Soon enough, a cold and damp sensation traveled from his skin to his mind.
'This is it.'
Lu Sheng thought about it. One of the secret techniques he obtained from Ju was a secret technique that allowed him to absorb the energy of certain special existences in the outside world into a Divine Vein.
Divine Veins could be used as Art, and they could also be used to enhance one another. They could also be used to connect to a small special space and store energy.
If Ju had not taught him so many basic uses, Lu Sheng would not have known that Divine Veins had so many uses.
Moreover, from these secret techniques, he also learned that Divine Veins had different levels.
When Lu Sheng returned to his senses, he raised his hand. His spirit quickly formed a Frost Divine Vein pattern on his right palm. Then, he slowly extended his hand toward the Eternal Cold Spring.
"Hiss …"
Unexpectedly, the instant his right hand entered the cold spring, he did not feel cold, but boiling hot.
Ever since Lu Sheng mastered the Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way, he could no longer feel the burning pain. This time, however, he was able to fully relive the feeling.
The burning sensation quickly spread from his palm to his arm, then to his torso, his limbs, and finally to his nine heads.
"Roar!"
Lu Sheng's colossal body slowly hovered in the air. His body was still growing, and the contours of his muscles were also expanding rapidly.
"Pchht!"
A pair of huge white fleshy wings rose from his arms and arched out.
His back began to bend and arch, and densely packed lumps appeared. The lumps on his forehead wriggled and grew larger as if they were alive. From the size of a soccer ball, they quickly grew to the size of Lu Sheng's nine heads.
The cold spring's light blue mist swiftly surged into Lu Sheng's body. The mist gradually flickered with spots of silver light, and swiftly spread to his torso and limbs.
As the fog surged in, the Eternal Cold Spring's volume began to shrink slightly.
Puchi!
Suddenly, a bump on Lu Sheng's back split open, and a new wolf head popped out.
Following that, the second meat bun also split open, and a wolf head popped out. Then the third, the fourth, the fifth …
The densely packed wolf heads rushed out, and Lu Sheng's body grew stronger and larger. Soon, it expanded to a height of nearly twenty meters.
The densely packed wolf heads were squeezed together like grapes. As time passed, their numbers increased. Soon, there was not enough space on their backs. Then their chests, shoulders, abdomens, thighs …
About an hour later, the Eternal Cold Spring had smiled by one-fifth. Lu Sheng also stopped absorbing the cold energy, and his body also stopped expanding crazily.
Other than his calves, the rest of his body was densely packed with wolf heads.
He was like a monster carrying a huge burden, and these burdens were his overgrown heads.
"My style is amazing …" Lu Sheng withdrew his hand from the cold spring and took a deep breath.
"Whoosh …"
A violent air current surged toward him from all directions. At least 300 mouths inhaled at the same time, and the airflow created a gale.
"Deep Blue." He summoned the modifier again. He looked at the box at the bottom.
"Frost Power Atlas, Hundred-head Devil Wolf (Demigod) (Special traits: Demigod's physique, Dignified Divine Light. Pseudo-divine Skill, Winter's Night, Ice Transformation, Holy Ice Spirit Light, Summon Snow Wolf Army, Doomsday Breath.)
"It feels different." Lu Sheng raised his hand. The Mystic Water Divine Vein's mark could still be seen on the back of his hand. At this level, he felt that he had reached the limit of what this world could contain.
Repulsive forces surged toward him from the void, as if trying to pull him into another space.
'The Eternal Cold Spring's seal can be released, but not here.' Lu Sheng looked at the cold spring in midair again.
He could clearly feel that his soul was being rapidly strengthened by some kind of special substance in the air. The degree of this strengthening was almost double that of his original soul.
In just a few breaths, his main body's spirit had expanded to a dozen times its original size.
However, this level made him vaguely feel weak. It was as if most of his Spirit Power was just a temporary boost.
'This should be a natural boost. It's a natural advantage that this physique has. It's not my real spirit. 'Lu Sheng had a vague understanding of this.
'Next, I'll unify the entire mountain range.' Ju's self-destruction instantly cleared out half of the mountain range.
Lu Sheng leaped off the mountain peak. He searched the surroundings for a while. Soon, he found the giant bear king and the others in an area several thousand miles away that had yet to be affected.
Due to their small numbers, they were pushed to the frontlines by Ashes' army. In the end, they were saved.
Faced with Lu Sheng's terrifying new appearance, the giant bear king and the other chieftains were as silent as cicadas in winter. Putting aside the fact that he had so many heads, just his massive body that was close to 20 meters tall was not something ordinary creatures dared to provoke.
There was no longer anyone who resisted. The Holy Dragon Temple's army was completely annihilated. Ashes' army and the four Scorching Sun Tribes' armies had also died in that terrifying Purple Crystal explosion.
Only a small number of armies were left far away.
Lu Sheng could not be bothered with them. He ordered the giant bear king to look for the poison dragon king and the three-tailed scorpion king. Then, he began to subdue all the other tribes in the mountain range.
Faced with the demigod rank Lu Sheng, these tribes, which were only at the grand commander-rank at the very most, were powerless to resist him. In merely two days, the entire green plain mountain range was under Lu Sheng's control.
Apart from legendary creatures, all other creatures within a hundred meters of the Eternal Cold Spring would be automatically frozen. Their spirits would be gradually devoured by the cold spring.
The entire area had become a forbidden zone.
Lu Sheng sent a patrol team to guard the area closely. On the other hand, he began to prepare the Eternal Cold Spring around the cold spring.
Without the Holy Dragon Temple's obstruction, the entire green mountain range was his world. The unification of the mountain range had been completed. There was no longer anyone suppressing him. He was the most powerful being in this mountain range.
The two karmic ties were almost complete. Lu Sheng gradually sensed the integration of Black Bone's spirit.
He knew that once the integration was complete, it would be time for him to leave.
He decided to cultivate in seclusion near the cold spring.
…
Ten days later.
"Rumble."
Dark thunderclouds shrouded the sky above the green mountain range.
Lu Sheng sat cross-legged beside the cold spring. The ground beside him was filled with densely packed complicated formation veins. Hundreds of shiny, ice-cold crystals were used as consumables and embedded in the formation on the ground.
In the center of the formation were three matching divine patterns stacked together — the Mystic Water Divine Pattern, the Cold Frost Divine Pattern, and the Lethal Poison Divine Pattern.
Lu Sheng's massive body sat at the side. He stared at the three divine patterns intently.
He had obtained these three divine patterns from the inheritance atlases of the major tribes. In truth, the ones he could really use were the Mystic Water Divine Pattern and the Cold Frost Divine Pattern. The Lethal Poison Divine Pattern was just a trial run.
This formation was something he came up with after combining many secret arts. He did not rely on Deep Blue. It was a tool specially used to help him absorb the power of the Eternal Cold Spring.
As the Prime Devil Sect's sect master, Lu Sheng was a master of poison. He was the most familiar with the Lethal Poison Divine Pattern.
Hence, he planned to use the formation to absorb the power of the Eternal Cold Spring, convert it into the power of the divine patterns, and fuse it into his body.
This was because the only thing that could follow him as he traversed between worlds was the power of the divine patterns. If he could convert it into the power of the divine patterns, he would have struck gold this time.
"It's about time …" After checking again, Lu Sheng made sure that he did not make any mistakes.
He extended his claws and slapped forward.
"Smack."
His wolf claws landed precisely in the center of the formation's divine patterns.
"Buzz …"
The entire formation swiftly shone with white light. A ring of blue runes that looked like a thread soared from the formation and danced around him. When it flew past Lu Sheng's head, it slowly dissipated in midair.
The faint blue cold air in the Eternal Cold Spring was also rapidly extracted and surged into the formation.
Amid the terrifying cold air, the three divine patterns in the center of the formation began to tremble slowly. The Mystic Water Divine Pattern slowly fused with the Cold Frost Divine Pattern and formed a new strange divine pattern. However, the Lethal Poison Divine Pattern could not be fused with this new divine pattern no matter what.
The cold air turned into the formation's power and drove the Lethal Poison Divine Pattern to emit a faint green light.
As time passed, the green light of the Lethal Poison Divine Pattern grew brighter and brighter.
"Crack."
Suddenly, the green light was extinguished. Instead, the bluish-white light swiftly became blinding and blinding.
Huge amounts of the Eternal Cold Spring's cold air surged madly into the new strange divine pattern. It was endless. It was as if this divine pattern was connected to an unknown space that could absorb the power of the cold spring without limit.
"Rumble …"
As the power of the cold spring leaked out, its size shrank rapidly again.
In the process of shrinking, an inexplicable and loud moan slowly resounded in the air. It was as if it was delighted and expectant.
Lu Sheng turned a deaf ear to it. He stared fixedly at the Eternal Cold Spring.
Time ticked by.
Soon, when the cold spring was only the size of a fist.
He abruptly released his wolf claws that were pressed on the formation's divine pattern.
"Bam!"
The rune chain above the formation suddenly broke. The passage that absorbed the cold air exploded. Everything came to an abrupt stop.
All that was left was a strange divine pattern carved on the ground.
Lu Sheng reached out again and pressed on this strange divine pattern.
This divine pattern was like a rubbing. It stuck to his palm and moved from the ground to his body.
"Esteemed Ancient Dragon Majesty, you should be able to break through this bit of cold spring's power easily. To prevent any accidents, I'll take my leave first."
At this moment, Lu Sheng could clearly sense that there was an immense power in the Eternal Cold Spring that made him shudder with fear. It was jumping and struggling madly.
This power was so powerful that he had never seen anything like it in his life. Even Aurora Polaris and the others were not as powerful as this power.
At this moment, he could already sense Black Bone's spirit swiftly fusing with his main body.
"It's about time." Lu Sheng stood up. The remaining cold spring could no longer stop the ancient dragon from breaking free. He had completed Ju's task.
