A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 544 Damn, it increased fiftyfold!

As soon as Guan Luoyang spoke, the life energy within the entire Source of Karen suddenly stirred.

From the surface, the source of Karen appears to be just a spring, but once you go underground to a depth of about thirteen kilometers, it expands into a lake-like area.

And it has basically maintained this size, leading to the core region of the main star of Karen, like a deep well in the star core.

The intelligent program, condensed into hundreds of millions of rhomboid crystals, is distributed in an orderly manner in the Source of Kalen, shimmering faintly with the ripples of light.

Upon realizing that Guan Luoyang, this "strange being," had directly intruded into the source of Kalen, all the intelligent programs, like a school of fish awakened from a thousand-year-old dream, began to operate with incredible speed and spin rapidly.

The life energy and the preserved spirit of the ancients in the Source of Karen were temporarily integrated under the unified control of these intelligent programs, exerting extremely strong purifying and repelling power.

Under the pressure of this purifying power, faint green mycelium also appeared in the spring water of the Source of Karen, giving people a gloomy and ominous feeling.

The curse of the Soul-Devouring Bacteria civilization back then almost turned into an indelible bacterial colony. However, the core part of the curse is immobilized under the suppression of the Source of Karen.

After all, the Soul-Devouring Fungus civilization has been destroyed, while the entire Kingdom of Karen and the Source of Karen have continued to grow stronger over the years.

In the past, the Soul-Devouring Fungus clan could be considered the greatest enemy to destroy the Kingdom of Karen. However, the current Source of Karen only needs to allocate less than one-thirtieth of its power to completely suppress this cursed core.

No wonder that high-ranking seven-star mage was tempted to support a native-born heir to seize control of this power.

However, it is precisely because of his profound understanding of the power of the Source of Karen that Guan Luoyang's existence is all the more terrifying.

This guest, adorned with a silver hair ornament inlaid with jade beads, wearing a long robe with wide sleeves, appeared calm and composed. Despite having already penetrated deep into the Source of Karen, he now seemed to exist entirely.

He was completely unaffected by the purifying and repulsive power emanating from the entire Source of Karen, and remained calmly smiling as he floated in the spot where he had just appeared.

The figure that had been present in the Source of Karen immediately stopped the intelligent program from taking the next step.

"Mr. Adventurer..."

Queen Karen gazed at Guan Luoyang with a subtle expression, her moment of thought so brief that no hesitation was felt, and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips.

Compared to her appearance when they met before, Queen Karen looked completely healthy and seemed to have become a few years younger. She appeared to be under thirty, yet she remained noble and elegant.

In Guan Luoyang's eyes, her elaborate clothing and the crown in her hair radiated a dazzling light, like fireflies in summer or stars dancing in the air, clearly indicating that they were not ordinary clothes or accessories.

Indeed, this Queen Karen is physically present, and her magnificent robes and crown are all tangible. She has not returned to the source of Karen in a purely spiritual form, as her heirs and ministers believe.

"It seems my little trick never fooled you, sir. As an observer, you will have a clearer perspective. So, please enlighten me, sir."

Guan Luoyang naturally took the lead.

The battle on the surface is just about to reach its most intense moment. If it drags on for even a little longer, both Hydra and Duke Attila will surely notice something amiss.

Even if it doesn't collapse, unexpected problems are bound to arise.

Therefore, Guan Luoyang not only went deep into the source of Kalen, but he also expanded his vacuum mind realm as soon as he entered the place.

He controlled it perfectly; the area covered by the vacuum mind realm exactly overlapped with the size of the entire Karen Source, and time inside was equivalent to ten times that outside.

Seeing that Queen Karen had made a good statement, Guan Luoyang had a thought, and the vast spiritual energy in his mind immediately intervened in the deep operation of the entire Karen Source.

If at this very moment, someone were to look up at the Source of Karen from the deepest part of Karen's main planet, they would likely find that the cross-section of this deep well, which should have been nearly circular, has gradually been divided into four fan-shaped regions.

Of the four fan-shaped regions, the one containing the core of the curse is the smallest.

After being freed from the suppression of the Source of Karen, the dark green cursed mycelium not only failed to display its ferocity again, but instead became extremely docile, with all the outward-expanding mycelium curling up as if trying to huddle together.

For Guan Luoyang, forcibly destroying this curse was not a difficult task.

However, his initial plan was to unravel its mysteries and transform it into his own supernatural power. He only realized the troublesome part was that he needed to completely break the multi-generational curse in the bloodline of the Beya people while ensuring their safety.

In a moment, he would prepare to use the Vacuum Mind Realm to devour the core of the curse and digest it. Then, some of the difficult points in the original deduction process would be easily resolved.

As for the other three sector areas, two are roughly the same size: the intelligent program area where the rhombus crystal is located, and the area of ​​the sages' spirit that seems to be filled with many humanoid phantoms.

The largest part is the life energy region where the pure white radiance is located. This is the original appearance of the Source of Karen. Later, when the Kingdom of Karen nourished this source of life, in addition to sacrificing intelligent programs and storing the spirit of the sages, it also continuously replenished a large amount of pure energy.

Queen Karen was currently within this area of ​​life energy, her lips still curved in a smile, but her eyes flickered slightly. She finally asked, "What exactly does the master intend to do?"

"You realized that there were other forces behind your children, and you knew that the Beya people were in trouble. You must have guessed your children's schemes, so you faked your death in advance to throw their plans into disarray and give you more room to maneuver."

Guan Luoyang was also within the life energy zone, pointing his finger in front of him as if drawing cloud-like characters. While manipulating the Source of Karen, he said, "The idea was good, but you didn't expect the Source of Karen to actually have such a strong tendency to respond to Duke Attila, did you?"

Queen Karen, though shrewd and calculating, couldn't help but darken her eyes slightly, realizing that he had seen through all her thoughts.

The changes that occurred after she faked her death were largely in line with her expectations.

However, when Duke Attila forcibly stimulated the Source of Karen and triggered a response, the sudden surge of fervor from the Source of Karen caught the Queen off guard, leaving her in a difficult position.

That sense of fervor was something she had never felt before when she mobilized the Source of Karen.

Such a strong resonance makes one wonder if the power of the Source of Karen, if truly bestowed upon Duke Attila, would completely merge with him and become impossible to remove.

At that point, even if the Queen, the true ruler who has ruled Karen for hundreds of years through a formal connection ceremony, is still alive, she will be of little use.

"I've always thought Attila wasn't a suitable candidate."

Queen Karen sighed softly, "Perhaps I was too presumptuous, and I misjudged him. It turns out he is a better choice than me."

Guan Luoyang smiled and said, "You really think so?"

Queen Karen smiled faintly, but she couldn't help feeling slightly annoyed.

Guan Luoyang's arrogant intrusion into the Source of Karen would normally be considered a declaration of war. Even if he were incredibly powerful, the Queen would have to show a tough stance.

However, given the current special circumstances and the fact that he seemed to have good intentions, the Queen tolerated it.

After all, adventurers, even those with good reputations and good intentions, are always the kind of people that some more conservative interstellar civilizations find hard to tolerate.

But now that she's detached from the wisdom and intelligence of the ancients, and with fewer points of reference in her mind, this guy keeps asking questions, and the Queen's own temper is showing, so she can't help but lose her temper.

"How infuriating! I can't possibly point my finger at these ancestors and yell, 'You old fogies, have you all gone blind this time?!'"

Guan Luoyang did not ask any further questions, but simply chuckled and flicked his finger. The talisman in front of him flew out into the air and landed among the spirits of the many ancestors.

In an instant, the finishing touch was added.

Those humanoid phantoms that were reduced to mere outlines, their faces devoid of features, suddenly gained a pair of bright, clear, azure eyes.

Various sighs, howls, and lamentations emanated from them, converging into a tsunami-like surge of emotion that soared into the sky.

Guan Luoyang let them ride this wave of momentum, fly out of their mental confines, and fly to the places they longed for.

Fly to Duke Attila!

………………

Above the ground, the radiance that filled the mountains suddenly began to tremble, and countless afterimages burst forth from the ground, carrying this radiance, and rushed into Duke Attila's body.

Countless phantoms rushed forward one after another, yet the entire process was extremely brief.

Duke Attila was momentarily overwhelmed, and his body stiffened slightly.

In the distant plane of the dead, Hydra's expression turned solemn. He felt that the traces of the divine magnetic field he had deliberately infiltrated into the other party's body had been completely erased.

The rotation of the magnetic field, a power system originating from the "Sea Tiger" series, is generally used to evaluate a cultivator's strength from three aspects.

That is, the power quantity, the power flow, and the ultimate realm.

The maximum power output can reach one million horsepower, the maximum power flow is one billion kiloliters, and the maximum level of the complete realm is ten thousand kiloliters.

In that world that possesses both superpowered technology and superpowered martial arts, each of the three data points used to evaluate a magnetic field martial artist requires precise analysis combining multiple data points and real-world situations to arrive at an accurate conclusion.

However, powerful individuals with exceptional intelligence can directly use their "intuition" to determine the level of achievement they and their enemies have reached in these three aspects.

In the eyes of some powerful individuals who prefer to simplify complex matters, these three aspects of data are crudely categorized into "quality," "quantity," and "method."

To see how strong the fighters in this system are, you often have to look at the combined data of "quality", "quantity" and "method".

In that worldview, ancient extraordinary figures such as Bodhidharma and Shao Yong, even though they had reached extremely high levels of perfection, possessed boundless wisdom, and had a profound understanding of the universe, still could not surpass the strength of ordinary people because their power level and power flow were approximately zero.

The case of Duke Attila, on the other hand, is the complete opposite of those ancient eccentrics.

He already possessed six-star strength, and with the help of the "Dream Creator" Beast God Armor, his power flow and power output reached very high standards.

However, even with the Dreamer's brain development function, combat personality simulation, and other means that greatly elevated his original realm, it was still not enough to achieve the same level of improvement as the other two aspects.

His greatest weakness was his inability to reach the highest level of mastery.

Now, this shortcoming has been completely remedied.

The spirit of these ancient sages of the Kingdom of Kalen already possessed its own strengths, and after being nurtured by the long years of the Source of Kalen and coordinated by intelligent information, they were refined and honed through long-term interaction.

In a sense, the characteristics of their remaining spirit are now more than a hundred times purer than when they were alive.

Such purity, however, may not necessarily be a good thing.

How many of the kings and heroes who have made their mark in the annals of the kingdom were "good people" in the conventional sense?

While they cherished the glorious civilization of the Kingdom of Karen, they also harbored insatiable ambitions. Otherwise, how could they have the motivation to accomplish the feats of kings?

Queen Karen's governing strategy focuses on governing the country and ensuring the people's well-being. She only mobilizes the power of the Karen Source after a clear problem has been identified.

When faced with a clear problem, these remaining spiritual forces can only cooperate with the intelligent program, follow Queen Karen's strategic thinking, and make the best possible solution within the available range.

Those destructive aspects, polished to become purer and purer, have never had the chance to be released.

Until they were drawn by Duke Attila's ambition, the aggression and destructiveness in their pure will finally found an outlet.

A match made in heaven, nothing could be more perfect!

"So that's how it is! The ultimate realm, the culmination of perfect understanding—that's what it must mean!"

Duke Attila's stiff body began to move again, the light from the crystal horn on his forehead became stable and brilliant, and the gray-white enhancement cells on his body began to emit deep red lightning.

In stark contrast to this deep red color was his head.

Several blue lines were spreading from his head to his face.

That spiritual and divine blue, like the essence of the sky and the cracks in the universe, exudes an unparalleled fighting spirit that can shatter the stars.

When one's understanding of the realm is sufficient to match one's power, and one truly begins to grasp the essence of magnetic field martial arts, battle runes corresponding to these moves will appear on the cultivator's body.

These blue marks are the Imperial Battle Marks!

In the realm of the dead, Hydra's humanoid form, with a cold gaze, truly summoned her staff.

"teacher!"

The eldest princess suddenly called out to Hydra, quickly and urgently transmitting a message: "What has been infused into him is not the life energy from the Source of Karen, but simply his spirit!"

"However, the life energy, intelligent programs, and ancestral spirit within the Source of Karen should have long been indistinguishable. If it were truly responding to external threats or stimuli, it couldn't possibly be in this situation!"

Upon hearing the news, Hydra's mind raced, and he took out an oval magic mirror with his left hand, casting a great divination spell.

The fog on the magic mirror dissipated, revealing a sky full of stars, just as he had calculated before he made his move—stars symbolizing good fortune, victory, invincibility, and smooth sailing.

However, setting aside the possible shady dealings within the Source of Karen, the fact that Duke Attila is currently in this state proves that his actions this time were not entirely smooth sailing.

"Who dares to deceive my divination skills?!"

Hydra was greatly alarmed. Without hesitation, he pointed his staff forward, and the portal connecting the Necropolis to the outside world spun and vanished without a trace.

Guan Luoyang in the Source of Karen has an innocent expression.

You wicked fellow, daring to use astrology to divine next to the planet where I'm temporarily resting. If you're wrong, are you going to blame me?

Duke Attila had by then realized something was wrong.

The effect of his complete realm improvement was better than expected. It not only reached a level that matched the overclocking power of the Dream Creator, but it is even continuing to improve.

Even though the spirit of our ancestors has been nurtured and refined over the years, becoming many times more pure, none of them reached the seven-star level during their lifetimes.

Is it possible for a group of six-star residual spirits to push their complete realm to the high level of seven stars, no matter how much they are nurtured and purified?

Duke Attila asked himself this question.

he does not know.

But his fighting spirit continued to rise, to the point that his mind could no longer tolerate any distractions.

Even one's own doubts will be crushed by one's own fighting spirit.

Suddenly, "his" eyes looked up at the sky, and his body abruptly transformed into a streak of red and blue light, flying out of the atmosphere.

At the first spaceport of the Kingdom of Karen, after observing the large vortex in the atmosphere of the host star, another strange phenomenon was observed.

A streak of intertwined red and blue light was seen flying at high speed around the entire main planet of Karen.

I don't know how many times I circled the globe, but the light had turned pure blue, and the red streaks left from when I flew past hadn't even completely disappeared.

"Oh no! A large-scale, drastic magnetic field fluctuation has been detected!"

"There's also the phenomenon of large wormholes opening—no, not large wormholes, just simple gravitational fluctuations!!"

"Quickly contact the main planet and find out what happened!!"

Inside the spaceport's observation station, thousands of technicians and tens of thousands of intelligent machines were frantically busy amidst the alarms on screens.

However, after a period of tense observation and calculation that made them forget to breathe, they discovered an incredible surprise.

According to repeated calculations, such a large-scale change in the galactic magnetic and gravitational fields will not have a serious impact on Karen's primary star and several important nearby locations.

The feeling that I thought a catastrophe was about to strike turned out to be a complete false alarm.

But this result is really strange.

Almost all the technicians dared not believe it and busied themselves with the second round of observation and calculation.

However, before they could calculate the result, a new change appeared on a simple optical observation screen.

This also gave them a vague understanding of the answer.

The reason why such drastic changes in the magnetic field have no effect on them is that all the movements are aimed at another target.

That target... is the elliptical wormhole that was torn apart in space, 80,000 kilometers away from the main planet of Karen!

Hydra, who had sealed off the undead plane and was preparing to temporarily retreat, was unexpectedly interrupted by an immense force field tide, forcibly pulling them back.

"Want to leave?"

The blue light approached the dimensional portal that was torn and slightly deformed in the blink of an eye.

The figure of "Duke Attila" violently emerged from the space, a trembling whisper of laughter emanating from his throat, the muscles in his arms bulging like mountains, the five fingers of his right hand growing larger by one size, and he clenched his fist again.

"Even if the number of units and the flow rate don't increase again, once I understand the true method of its use, the combat power of this body can explode, surge, and dramatically increase to more than fifty times!!"

"The pent-up tensions between the City of Transcendence and the First Core are finally reaching a point where seven-star members must pay the price!"

It turns out that the City Beyond was plotting against me!

A surge of realization and rage welled up within Hydra. In the plane of the dead, apart from the first Titan god, eleven other Titan gods rose one after another from the poisonous swamp.

The entire plane of the dead seemed to expand slightly, transforming into an unparalleled war machine, about to unleash necromantic light imbued with Titan divinity!

Hydra, wielding his staff, was certain that anyone below the eighth star level would be forced back by this attack.

However, the person standing right outside the plane of the dead, with his face directly facing the muzzle of the "Titan Extinction Ray," did not back down an inch.

This peerless martial artist even revealed a happy and unrestrained smile. The Imperial Battle Mark on his forehead showed fine, dragon-scale-like patterns. He pressed his body down in the void and pulled his fist back.

That divine crystal horn seemed to have become part of the dragon horn battle pattern, and could even unleash a fist intent that spanned the vast world, shattered space, and was unparalleled in its ferocity!

The magnetic field rotates 999,900 times, the Imperial Pole—Dragon Fist!!!
