A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 334 A Pure Heart Resonates, the Dao Returns to its Origin; A Hundred Monsters Are Destroyed by a Horizontal Blade.

The leader of the seven Titans had hair like a shrub, each hair as thick as a normal person's little finger, rough, stiff, and dry, like hundreds of thin, long horns, strong and twisted on his head.

This seemingly messy, hardened hair structure actually possesses a very sophisticated protective function, especially effective in defending against large-volume, high-speed blunt force impacts.

The Titan leader once used this head of stiff hair to withstand an iron ball launched from thousands of meters in the air. In the end, he only felt his head sway and his neck hurt a little, but his head was completely unharmed.

The shell was deflected by the "hard hair," shattering like molten iron. The brain, protected by the hard hair and the skull, remained 100% conscious from beginning to end, appreciating the "big firework" that exploded above its head.

However, when Guan Luoyang's hand grabbed down, it immediately exceeded the limit of that head of stiff hair. Almost all the hairs broke at the same time, went soft, and stuck tightly to the top of Titan's head.

With a bang, Guan Luoyang spread his five fingers wide, his fingertips gripping tightly around the big head, locking the Titan leader's skull.

The Titan leader was a burly man, his head alone being the size of an oak barrel, and he was much taller than Guan Luoyang.

But just now, as the heartbeat sounded, Guan Luoyang suddenly became even taller than the seven Titan brothers.

His clothes also grew larger, and his red cloak billowed wildly, displaying a wild and boundless sense of power.

The Titan leader felt his head go blank. He was holding his weapon but forgot to attack, and was forced to his knees by the pressure.

With a deafening roar, a huge crater was smashed into the ground, as if the entire street had been broken apart by his kneeling.

The buildings on both sides swayed as if about to collapse, stirring up large clouds of dust and debris, with howling air currents and dramatic changes in light and shadow.

"What's going on?!"

A startled thought flashed through the Titan leader's mind. In his extreme shock, he caught a glimpse of bright red out of the corner of his eye.

A bright red cloak, like a swimming dragon, snaked out from beside the Titan leader.

The seven brothers were of one mind and worked in unison. Just now, the eldest brother gathered the spiritual energy of all his brothers, but when they clashed, he was suddenly thwarted. The other six brothers also froze in their tracks and their momentum greatly diminished.

When the cloak of the divine robe swept over, none of the seven people had time to resist. They were bound together and pulled into a circle.

Guan Luoyang pressed down on his cloak with his right hand, grabbed the seven people, and swung them at the blue divine butterfly that was swooping down behind him, as if he had grabbed a meteor hammer.

This enormous blue butterfly swooped down from the sky with great force, yet it remained breathtakingly beautiful, possessing a dreamlike magnificence.

But in reality, the patterns on those two butterfly wings were all spatial cracks, and the main body of the butterfly was Chu Xinggu's powerful killing blow.

It is beautiful, but extremely dangerous.

The seven brothers were horrified to find themselves facing the giant blue butterfly. They dared not be careless and unleashed their full spiritual energy.

A crimson aura erupted from them, like a setting sun in an old oil painting.

A blue butterfly swooped down on the sun, creating an even more dazzling aurora that illuminated the entire city ruins, turning them into a monotonous pale white that overwhelmed all other scenery.

The intense light was so bright that many psychics could not look directly at it; whether with their prosthetic eyes or their own, they instinctively turned their heads away.

None of the seven Titan Heavy Industries brothers' bodies showed many signs of mechanical modification.

They were biochemically modified from a young age, giving them a physique that was vastly different from that of ordinary people. They then focused on building upon this foundation, using all the resources and cultivation methods they acquired to directly strengthen their physical bodies.

In the wild and untamed realm of the game world, they further comprehended the "beastly" way of liberating desires and catalyzing the physical body. By carefully savoring the primal desires in their hearts, they continuously cultivated these desires, propelling their bodies to break through one limit after another and continue to grow.

To some extent, the cultivation paths of the seven of them are quite similar to the genetic information martial arts of the united regime.

However, Chu Xinggu's jade bamboo staff was incredibly powerful. Even Guan Luoyang, who took the hit head-on, had his shoulder bone broken.

Moreover, the seven of them were caught in the moment when Chu Xinggu unleashed his full destructive power; in an instant, all seven of their bodies shattered.

It possesses a robust physical body, a powerful blood-producing function, and an astonishing amount of blood.

The instant the intense light faded, the bodies of the seven Titan brothers were all torn to pieces, and countless streams of blood spurted out into the air.

The crater in the ground and the ruins of buildings on both sides were painted blood red, and blood was raining down from the air.

Guan Luoyang's massive body soared into the air, and with a sudden movement, his body became small and exquisite, seemingly a red-clad general only as tall as an infant, cold-faced and murderous, and in an instant, he passed through the rain of blood.

They charged from the ground into the sky.

His delicate and petite body meant that when he walked through the rain of blood, his face was not stained with any blood.

Chu Xinggu watched as that clean face, which had been serious and heroic with a delicate and refined appearance, was magnified to its original form, with dark eyebrows raised, a chilling fighting spirit, and a fist coming down with overwhelming killing intent.

Throughout the entire process, the changes in Guan Luoyang's body size were not caused by the use of magic, but purely by his high degree of control over his physical body.

The changes in size while traversing the rain of blood are not only to avoid the filth, but also to facilitate the compression and release of the body's power in a very short time.

Chu Xinggu blocked the punch by bracing his jade bamboo staff with both hands.

Boom! !

The maximally compressed punching force exploded with a thunderous roar, the sound of the fist striking the ground perfectly coinciding with the sound of another heartbeat.

Chu Xinggu had fought Leopold many times, and their strengths were roughly equal without using the Emerald Bamboo Staff. Therefore, he had a deep understanding of Leopold's all-encompassing and boundless spiritual energy cultivation path.

Leopold's long-standing pursuit has been to accumulate the total amount of psionic energy and "momentum" to a level that is vast and unstoppable, until he no longer needs to use any fancy tricks and can sweep away his enemies with a single move. Big is big, and victory is victory.

But only today, when facing Guan Luoyang's punch, did Chu Xinggu truly understand what it meant to be "unstoppable"!

The punch Guan Luoyang threw was neither a cannonball-like strike nor a ferocious dragon-like charge, but rather a pure and expansive feeling.

It doesn't need to be a vast torrent, just a heartbeat, a pulse.

It seemed that nothing in the world could hinder the expression of this inner strength.

When Chu Xinggu blocked that punch, he felt like a marble that had landed on the point where thousands of bowstrings intersected.

The moment they made contact, it was clear that his only option was to be flung away.

Boom! ! !

Chu Xing flew high into the air, flying extremely fast and fiercely.

The buildings on the ground instantly turned into small boxes in his field of vision, and then shrank into blurry spots.

The earth was vast and desolate, and he was getting further and further away.

To the other psionicists, Chu Xinggu's trajectory as he flew into the sky resembled a column of air piercing the clouds.

Originating from that punch in Guan Luoyang, this magnificent pillar of energy, which was faintly visible, continued to expand, piercing through the clouds and reaching the highest heavens.

"broken!!"

Whether it was Chu Xinggu soaring into the clouds or the numerous psionicists scattered among the city ruins, an ominous premonition arose involuntarily.

The original situation was that they came to hunt and ambush.

It was their scheme, orchestrated in conjunction with the separation of the two generations of the Nine Mountains, to bring this calamity upon Guan Luoyang and deliver a devastating blow to him.

More than eighty top-tier powerhouses who control resources and vested interests on the wasteland continent have jointly woven a vast and inescapable web.

But now, this inescapable net has been torn in one corner from its strongest point. Although the entire net is not completely broken, it is enough for the target they are trying to kill to bare his fangs and claws.

In the next instant, Guan Luoyang's figure suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

When he reappeared, he was next to a leaning, hundred-story building.

There was already a Level 7 psychic who had his entire body modified into machinery lying in ambush here.

However, when Guan Luoyang appeared here, the ground trembled slightly, and the mechanical psychic had turned into a pile of alloy debris under his feet.

An immense sense of threat gripped the nerves of all the assassins.

"Don't hesitate, it's either him or us today, kill!"

"kill!!"

"He won't get any supplies, kill him!!"

They charged towards Guan Luoyang's location with all their might, regardless of the order in which they attacked.

Many people, even before they arrived, had already launched various ranged attacks.

The most common long-range psionic technique is to condense an arc-shaped laser and, in conjunction with technologically advanced laser-amplified weapons, bombard that direction.

Guan Luoyang raised his hand and slashed, like a giant axe striking down. The thick laser energy was sliced ​​open like a gentle stream of water, flowing past his body without harming him in the slightest.

Amidst the crisscrossing laser beams, figures rushed towards Guan Luoyang, only to be easily blasted away by his mere gestures.

The tall building was smashed open by the figures that crashed back, creating a huge hole that almost broke it in half.

Long trenches and dark craters were dug into the ground, and a large area of ​​low-lying buildings was split in half by a burning crack.

Unstable psionic energy and massive explosions echoed through the city ruins, turning the already chaotic city into a scene of utter devastation.

The more than eighty Level 7 psychics who came here today all possess the ability to convert electrical resources into psychic signals and empower themselves.

However, the wasteland continent only has so many manpower and power resources. The forces of these eighty-odd people vary in size, and not everyone has the opportunity to temporarily push themselves to level eight with the help of psionic energy.

Of the more than eighty people, nearly seventy were only able to temporarily reach the peak of the seventh level of psionic energy during combat.

Most of these people have no experience of fighting to the death against higher-level psychics. Although they have learned about the methods of stronger beings through various video materials, they still have enough confidence in themselves. Otherwise, they would not have come to participate in this siege.

However, when they actually rushed forward and faced Guan Luoyang's fists, they realized that this encirclement and slaughter was not at all the kind of thing they had imagined, like wolves devouring an elephant.

Instead, it was a group of mantises trying to kill a tiger.

The one-eyed bandaged man, who had originally been focusing all his efforts on blocking Guan Luoyang's connection to external energy sources, now dared not refrain from taking action.

If they waited any longer, by the time most of the others had been killed, they wouldn't be able to escape Guan Luoyang's pursuit.

Just as Guan Luoyang slammed another cyborg's head into his chest cavity, images of flowing bandages appeared almost simultaneously on the scattered alloy parts on the ground around him.

Suddenly, rings of bandages appeared in the air, swirling and tightening abruptly, binding Guan Luoyang's body.

These bandages were extraordinary. As soon as they were applied, the divine robe, which had been excited by Guan Luoyang's fighting spirit, immediately drooped, and its bright red color dimmed.

Guan Luoyang noticed that the heat in his body was collapsing rapidly and inexplicably dissipating, and the vitality that had filled his body was becoming sluggish. Countless bacteria appeared in his blood.

Several psychics who had reached the eighth level saw an opportunity and rushed in to attack.

The man in flowing blue robes was surrounded by seven flying swords that sliced ​​through the air, tracing beautiful arcs, carrying an immortal sword intent that followed the secrets of heaven, detected weaknesses, and was pierced through nothing.

A strapless long dress, bright red lips, and blonde hair. With a small fan covering her face, she outlines a unicorn with wide wings, its four hooves galloping, unleashing a shockwave of magic and psychic energy.

The classically styled knight's lance was thrown by a man wearing a platinum curly wig. The mechanical joints of the lance were exposed in mid-air, constantly fissing and multiplying. Countless mechanical components pulsated, and countless psionic fluctuations were refracted within it, like a narrow signal tower that was stabbing across the sky.

At the same time, a point of emerald green light burst forth high in the sky, like an emerald star hanging in the daytime clouds.

A burst of starlight erupted as the jade bamboo staff descended from the sky, shooting straight towards Guan Luoyang's head.

Guan Luoyang roared, and the massive sound waves formed rings of light that shot outwards.

The unicorn was the first to be scattered, letting out a mournful cry as its wings broke and its body was torn apart.

The lance suddenly slowed down in mid-air, vibrating violently as its numerous mechanical components collided with each other, sending sparks flying.

The man in blue, who was flying on a sword, was forced to retreat step by step by the sonic halo.

All those who had surrounded and attacked were utterly routed by the sweeping halo of sound waves.

The roars continued, and Guan Luoyang's full head of black hair flew wildly, its length increasing dramatically.

Her strong, resilient hair, like a jet-black waterfall, surged upwards, intertwining and gathering, as it met the jade bamboo staff falling from the sky.

His hair seemed to be wielding a sword technique, each strand resembling a slender divine blade.

A flurry of thousands of hairs clashed against the jade bamboo staff high in the sky.

Wherever the bamboo staff passed, black hair was broken off one after another, fluttering in the air, but more and more hairs grew back, and countless knife marks crisscrossed in the air, gradually leaving cutting marks on the jade bamboo staff.

The study of "The Five Elements Qi and War" is nothing more than the study of genetic information in the five internal organs of the human body.

Guan Luoyang's continuous training over this period of time has allowed him to extract all the imprints from the genetic information martial arts, far beyond just the five internal organs, throat, vocal cords, mouth, skin, hair, and so on.

Now, having transcended the Ninefold Tribulation Flame, the martial arts imprint has been sublimated, and every part of the human body is being reshaped by genetic information, reaching the point of mastery.

At that very moment, a pair of gloves gleaming with a silvery sheen appeared behind Guan Luoyang.

The fingertips of both gloves are engraved with symbols of different colors.

Anyone who has ever been to the fantasy section of the game world will understand that these highly symbolic symbols represent eight magical powers: pure water, storm, forest, soil, necromancer, dragon, dwarf, and elf.

The symbols on the two thumbs represent the sun and the moon, respectively.

These gloves are a treasure no less valuable than the jade bamboo staff in Chu Xinggu's hands.

The person wearing these gloves, in a flash, brought their palms together, combining ten magical powers to pierce through the barrier of the divine robe and pierce into Guan Luoyang's torso.

He struck his target with lightning speed and retreated, but still couldn't avoid Guan Luoyang's counterattack.

Guan Luoyang felt a sharp pain in his heart. He let out a low shout, loosened the bandages, turned around, and swept his leg, smashing the head of the person who had attacked him from behind.

After the man's head was shattered, his headless body was covered by a white uniform that resembled a military uniform. His movements did not slow down at all, and he retreated to a distance of five kilometers.

From within that headless body, a powerful psychic message emanated, which all those involved in the attack could receive.

"He is still made of flesh and blood, and his heart is currently the strongest part of his body."

"His heart has been taken by me!!!"

The headless body was not dead. Its gloves were covered in blood, and sure enough, it was holding a heart between its hands, raising it high for everyone to see.

The attacker, having lost his head, seemed completely unaffected, even clasping his hands together as if to destroy the heart, instantly boosting the morale of the remaining survivors.

The vast majority of psionicists will not easily give up their "original brain," a component that facilitates their cultivation.

However, after all parts of the body except the brain have been replaced with bionic components, who says the brain still has to be installed in the head?

The Silver Army Lord's brain is installed in his chest cavity. Considering both ease of movement and maintaining defensive strength, the chest cavity is actually the easiest part of the human body to be replaced with multiple layers of high-strength armor.

He even removed some parts of his brain that were not very useful for the prosthetic body, keeping only the part that maintained thinking and provided psionic energy.

On the wasteland continent, there are actually quite a few people like the Silver Army Lord who do this, but for advanced psionicists, they are willing to try anything for the slightest possibility of a breakthrough. "Keeping the brain in the head is a psychological habit that facilitates psionic cultivation"—there are quite a few people who actually believe this nonsense.

Guan Luoyang had not yet studied the customs of the Wasteland Continent in depth, so naturally he was unaware of these things.

He strikes directly at vital points because he can directly sense the source of the other person's spiritual energy. No matter where the brain is located, whether it is in the head or elsewhere, it will be exposed in his perception.

Unfortunately, the Silver Army Lord's cultivation method made every part of his body seem to be the source of spiritual energy, which even deceived Guan Luoyang for a short time.

Losing your heart isn't a big deal; you can just rebuild it.

However, this heart is the first part of Guan Luoyang's martial arts imprint to be sublimated and reshaped, concentrating most of the energy in his body.

After it was taken away, it would take at least several minutes for the newborn heart to recover to its original strength and support him in the next battle.

A few minutes feels like an eternity.

It's been too long.

For high-level psionicists, it's enough for them to accomplish far too much.

They attacked again.

Chu Xinggu in the sky caught up with his jade bamboo staff, charging through the countless black hairs with all his might, striking Guan Luoyang's head with unstoppable force.

Guan Luoyang twitched his finger. He still had two magic beans in his personal space. As long as he took one, his physical body would immediately return to its peak condition.

However, he only flicked his finger and did not take out the Senzu Bean.

The jade bamboo staff was less than a hundred meters above his head, but his gaze did not waver at all; he was only looking at the Silver Army Lord who had ambushed him.

No, he was only looking at the heart that the Silver Army Lord was holding in his hands.

"Return..."

The gloves were closing, and the psychic energy propelled by ten different magical powers was about to destroy the heart.

"My heart has returned."

Guan Luoyang roared, "Gene reshaping, divine and demonic body, only lacking the opportunity to break through the limits."

"My heart, now that it has broken free of my body, the opportunity has arrived; why not return?!"

Boom! ! !

The Silver Army Lord's arms suddenly trembled, producing a sound that made one's teeth ache.

The blood-soaked heart broke free from his arms, beat once, flew into the air, transformed into a streak of crimson light, and returned to Guan Luoyang's chest.

With his heart fully restored, Guan Luoyang exudes a joyful and lively aura.

"call--"

Having achieved the perfect form of a god and demon, his eyes rolled, and he slowly exhaled, restoring countless colors to his black and white vision.

The bandages that he had scattered simultaneously emitted terrified and mournful howls as they burned to ashes.

The isolation between the inside and outside has been broken, and nothing can stop the divine and demonic body from obtaining the nourishment it deserves. The Heavenly River magic power of the ninefold transformation surges rhythmically into Guan Luoyang's body from all things in heaven and earth, from this ruin and the vast sky.

Chu Xinggu was wielding his staff when he suddenly heard the sound of a blade.

His black hair had all fallen away, and below him, Guan Luoyang held a sword horizontally in his hand, looking up.

Amidst the ruins, after the clash of swords, heads rolled.

The Silver Army Lord, who was already headless, also fell to the ground, his body stiffening, after that sound of a sword rang out.

Chu Xing's heart had not yet been defeated, but his mind had already involuntarily let out a mournful cry.

He saw the Milky Way swirling in that knife.

He saw his own death was imminent.
