A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 556 Declaring the Universe

The moment the golden lotus bloomed before Monsanto, a gigantic purple-gold demonic fist slammed out.

The Heavenly Demon Art combines the Purple Star Emperor's aura with the power of an emperor, and also borrows some of the secrets of the Dragon Fist from Guan Luoyang himself.

This move, the Demon Dragon Emperor Fist, truly exuded an invincible and inescapable domineering aura.

Monsanto's Rainbow Stone ability, "Tree of Dimensions," not only has the means to open up various alternate dimensions, but can also change the dimension of reality, making things in certain areas two-dimensional.

Back when he first entered the Seven Stars, in order to consolidate his power, he suppressed all factions within the company that disagreed with him.

They once turned a biological experimental planet, which was the main site of their company's operations at the time, into a picture on their business card.

This act is still recorded in the biographies of celebrities on the list of the world's richest people.

However, when faced with the punch from the Demon Lord, the alternate dimensions that Meng Shandu had created were easily destroyed, like soap bubbles.

The surrounding reality was violently turbulent, and when it tried to fall into a two-dimensional state, the fist ignored it completely and continued to punch forward.

The entire spacetime, which was originally about to collapse and fall into a lower dimension, unexpectedly began to expand violently.

Even time itself became a tangible wave of water, filling this space-time expanded by the force of the fist. The past, present, and future coexisted like three different scrolls.

The entire area even underwent a brief dimensional ascension.

However, even such a powerful punch ultimately missed its target, striking only the surface of the star. This caused violent ripples to appear on that side of the star, unleashing tongues of fire that pierced through the star's atmosphere.

The Demon Lord sensed it briefly and immediately understood what was going on.

Meng Shan couldn't transform the outside world into a two-dimensional state, but at the crucial moment, he transformed himself into a two-dimensional form, thus avoiding the area covered by the Demon Dragon Emperor Fist.

Unfortunately, it wasn't just the Demon Lord's fist that arrived on the surface of the planet.

The golden lotus, which remained as clear as ever amidst the starlight flames, suddenly emitted countless sword energies.

Sword shadows danced, half real and half illusory.

The swordsmanship of Void Navigation, viewed from the perspective of this universe, is most adept at dissecting the mysteries of various dimensions, and has long since reached the realm of "no thickness".

Meng Shan could escape the Demon Lord's punch, but he couldn't escape Cihang Demon Lord's Wuhou Sword.

The overwhelming sword shadows that traversed the sea of ​​fire suddenly disappeared, and when they reappeared, they had already forced Monsanto to recover from its two-dimensional state.

"Impossible!! Dumont couldn't possibly be hiding such a large force!"

Monsanto's figure was repeatedly defeated under the bombardment of sword energy, filled with shock and anger, with the pale yellow dimensional tree behind him appearing and disappearing.

But just as the branches of the Dimensional Tree were about to deflect the sword energy, the Demon Lord's fist struck again.

It struck later but arrived first; this punch seemed to transcend the river of time, going backward and leaping forward.

Thus, the branches and leaves of the Dimensional Tree were shattered by this punch before they could spread out.

"Who exactly are you people?!"

Monsanto encountered a sword in a low dimension and a fist in a high dimension. With nowhere to go, he fought desperately, but finally realized the truth.

"You too..."

………………

"You also come from outside the universe."

The white-eyed, scarf-adorned monster hand, carrying boundless, extreme cold power, violently spread out to both sides.

In an instant, his desolate planet was completely covered in frost.

The planet's crust suddenly cracked open, like petals blooming, until the high-density planetary core was exposed.

These curled and extended "petals of the earth's crust" are not in the state of soil and stone, but are completely frozen, covered with a layer of light blue and white luster in addition to the color of soil and stone.

The freezing of the white eye was not simply a matter of covering the surface; in an instant, it had already frozen deep into the planet.

Furthermore, they used the frozen planets as raw materials, altered their internal structure, and shaped them into incredibly powerful "annihilation weapons."

The power he initially gained from the Rainbow Stone was simply freezing; in terms of destructive power, it was actually somewhat lacking compared to other types of superpowers.

However, from the time he was weak, he used his power to create ice and combined it with the principles of interstellar technology weapons to create a portable and extremely concealed all-purpose arsenal for himself.

The annihilation weapon he created at this moment was actually just a device that remained in the theory of interstellar scientists.

Due to the limitations of interstellar materials science, there are currently no suitable materials to manufacture some critical components.

However, the Byakugan at the peak of the Seven Stars realm, and the ice it creates at will, possess billions of variations in properties, enough to replace high-performance materials in this universe that have not yet been manufactured through technology.

Such attack power is more than a hundred times stronger than the planetary annihilation-class main cannon of a top-tier interstellar fleet.

If we also consider sustainability and flexibility, then the main gun of the Planet Annihilation class simply doesn't qualify for comparison.

Annihilation beams, formed by the combination of matter and antimatter in a specific ratio, are released from the planet's core, suddenly making a sharp turn in the high sky before shooting out horizontally.

In space, a giant fish with scale-like patterns formed by spatial cracks crashed into the beam of light blocking the way. All the impact was actually cut away by the stable, continuously existing beam of light.

"Excellent technique. I have been sitting in the North Sea for a long time and have seen countless icy and snowy landscapes, but I have rarely seen such ingenuity."

In the vastness of space, the figure of the Sky-Supporting Immortal walked steadily towards us.

"I am indeed not a being of this realm, but any wicked person, regardless of the myriad realms or heavens, may be killed upon sight!"

"Hmph, this unfamiliar method is similar to, yet different from, the Supreme Dao Sect's system. It seems you are not only outsiders, but you don't even belong to those three outsider organizations."

The White Eye continuously powered the stellar weapon it created. The beam that had already turned once had not disappeared, and a new beam was also being emitted.

Hundreds of annihilation rays, leaving behind countless sharp-angled, rapidly turning beams, bombarded towards the Sky-Supporting True Man.

Master Qingtian simply smiled and sang, as if he were demonstrating a set of punches to his disciples and grand-disciples, performing them in a relaxed and slow manner.

The Two Elements Great Chaos Fist Manual suddenly evolved again, reversing the Chaos.

From chaos arose the two polarities, and from the two polarities came the four symbols.

Spacetime cracked like scales, and four giant void fish swam out separately, only to return again, eventually forming a sphere around each other.

At the center, surrounded by four large fish, stood Byakugan and his celestial weapon.

A projection of Duke Attila, with a scarlet horn growing from his forehead, suddenly appeared and stormed into the area.

The projection of Duke Attila is the most unique one.

This projection contains little of Duke Attila himself; instead, it is a mixture of the ambitions and fighting spirit of the past sages of the Kingdom of Karen, along with the principles and potential contained within the Dreamer's Beast God Armor.

The mental projections built upon these elements appear less vibrant than other projections.

But from another perspective, the battle in this projection is the purest.

A peak Seven Stars expert is no ordinary person. A single projection might be able to defeat the White Eye, but it would be impossible to capture him.

Therefore, in addition to these two projections, even the figure of Cihang Demon Lord faintly appeared within the golden lotus, watching over this place.

………………

Near a gas giant planet on the outer edge of the Karen system, a black cloak floats.

The figure within the cloak had grayish-blue skin, a handsome face, but extremely dark circles under the eyes, and a slender build.

His presence was completely unnoticed, even by the white eye.

This person is named Eternal Night Sleepless, and is a capable general under the command of the Great War God Kusa, as well as the patriarch of the Sleepless Clan.

The Sleepless Ones were originally a Homo sapiens race that lived and thrived on a planet on the edge of the Milky Way. Their technology was not very advanced, but it had developed to the point that they could travel between several nearby planets with a small number of people to explore.

Unfortunately, after a radiation storm from outer space swept across the globe, everyone on that planet contracted a strange disease.

Once one enters a state of complete sleep, one will die completely.

This strange disease claimed a large number of lives in their civilization, and the terrifying psychological pressure bred countless thugs, causing the entire social order to collapse overnight.

Sleep has become synonymous with death, becoming the most terrifying thing, and countless people fight against their sleepiness in order to survive.

It seems that all of humanity on this planet will be completely wiped out within the next few dozen hours.

Willpower, drugs, physical methods—any conceivable and feasible means were used to inflict upon themselves as they struggled on the edge of life and death.

A small percentage of them actually succeeded.

The strange disease caused by star radiation is itself a brain mutation. Through the use of drugs and their own perseverance, they have spurred a new round of brain evolution.

Sleepiness, like the sea, was endlessly pushed backward by them, while the power of their spirit grew wildly in the process.

When the Interstellar Alliance decided to vigorously promote quantum communication technology and popularize the Star Network, they discovered this remote planet.

At that time, the civilization of the Sleepless had already developed to its third generation.

Third-generation children, by the time they turn one year old, generally possess the mental power to bend an iron spoon from a distance of 100 meters.

When they grow to adulthood, they will be able to fly freely within the atmosphere using their own telekinetic abilities.

Slightly capable adults are able to increase their speed to the point where they can barely break out of the atmosphere.

Sadly, even though their brains have evolved to this extent, they still need to fight off sleepiness.

As people age, their drowsiness intensifies, and those who are afraid to fall asleep often develop more extreme personalities, ranging from mania to depression. Medication simply cannot keep up with the pace of their brain's evolution.

After the interstellar alliance's exploration and construction teams made contact with this civilization, the capricious Sleepless Ones murdered all members of those two teams.

These people even stripped the construction team of their memories, impersonated members of the Interstellar Alliance, and used the exploration team's ships to travel to other civilizations.

Later, the Interstellar Alliance headquarters sent people to arrest these criminals and sentence them to death. However, for the Forgotten Sleepers who remained on their home planet, the Interstellar Alliance headquarters still decided to observe and provide assistance.

Unfortunately, the brain evolution of those who suffer from insomnia and their strange illness are two sides of the same coin. After three generations of evolution, the root cause of the illness has become extremely complex.

Even with the technology of the Interstellar Alliance headquarters, it is difficult to eradicate this disease; it can only be alleviated by regularly administered medication.

At the time, Galaxy Eye, which had just been established, was merely a pharmaceutical company that responded to the call for public morality in the interstellar era and provided assistance to the Sleepless Civilization.

Their symptoms were alleviated, and the situation on the entire planet was brought together. Due to their strengths in mental power, they made some contributions and even quickly became official members of the Interstellar Alliance.

The early development of the Galaxy Eye was also inextricably linked to this civilization.

However, as the Galaxy Eye developed better and better, the Sleepless Civilization had to bear enormous financial pressure in order to purchase the Galaxy Eye's drugs, and even resorted to buying and selling people to pay off its debts.

They wanted to find other ways out, but it was too late; too much time had passed.

Because "Galaxy Eye" initially contracted to conduct research on the strange disease of their civilization, and even provided free medicine in the early stages, other interstellar companies found it unprofitable over the years and did not invest any effort in this area.

At that time, the Sleepless Ones, who had already undergone multiple evolutions, had no choice but to purchase a potent drug from Galaxy Eye if they wanted to find one that matched their level of evolution.

Under intense pressure from multiple sides, the idea of ​​"abolishing medicine" naturally arose on their home planet.

Eternal Night Sleepless personally orchestrated and led the Sleepless Ones to join the Great War God Kusa.

The War God's forces offer endless enjoyment; they no longer need medication, but they also have ample channels to release the psychological pressure caused by drowsiness.

Although the average lifespan of their entire tribe has dropped to around sixty years, no one cares about this minor issue.

Since stopping taking medication, every person suffering from insomnia feels increasingly happier.

As the only person in the Sleepless Clan whose lifespan has exceeded three hundred years, Eternal Night's fame and strength have reached the top level in the universe.

Although the aura of so many powerful figures erupting at the spaceport of the Kingdom of Karen also startled him.

But when the golden lotus bloomed before him, he paid no attention to it at all; only the black crystal embedded in the center of his forehead flashed.

As if a flash of black lightning appeared, the golden lotus withered away inch by inch.

Each golden lotus can transform into sword energy. Even after it shatters, it can still transform into sword shadows. Moreover, each sword shadow has a spirit, with eyes growing on the hilt.

However, as the eyes on these swords peered around, they were filled with deep doubt, because each sword shadow observed something completely different.

Some sword shadows found themselves amidst stars, while others found themselves surrounded by birdsong and fragrant flowers.

Some of the sword shadows found themselves back near the South China Sea Immortal Sect.

Some sword shadows even reached the back of Cihang Demon Lord.

If it were just a simple illusion, that would be fine, but each sword shadow reveals the deep foundation of the world they inhabit, which is completely real and governed by the laws of nature.

Could it be that at the very moment the golden lotus shattered, they were truly scattered into different universes and different worlds?

A cluster of bubbles floated around Eternal Night Sleepless, within which were imprisoned the golden sword shadows that had grown eyeballs. His cloak billowed as he drifted away.

The destructive power of the White Eyes might be comparable to that of Eternal Night, and perhaps even surpass it in terms of destructive efficiency.

However, when it comes to the variety of methods, Eternal Night is far superior.

Back when the Great War God Kusa was only a seven-star, he was repeatedly severely injured for challenging the Supreme Ruler Dumon.

Every time Kusa returned, countless people would hide their identities and try to kill the God of War, but each time, Eternal Night would calmly take Kusa away.

The situation in the Kingdom of Karen alarmed Eternal Night, so he did not intend to stay any longer. He would return as soon as possible to report to the God of War and then hand these matters over to the God of War for disposal.

He wore gold rings on all ten of his fingers, with thin chains connecting them and wrapping around his forearms. Each link of the chain represented the coordinates of a black hole.

The mental power of Eternal Night is so strong that he can freely observe black holes. Although he dares not delve into them, he can use the influence of natural black holes on the surrounding spacetime to help him perform interstellar-level long-distance teleportation.

Just like in the ocean, there are whirlpools. The most skilled captains can use these whirlpools and the surrounding turbulent currents to accelerate their ships. Those who try to track and surround them will be swept into the whirlpools if they are not careful.

If someone falls into a black hole, even a seven-star powerhouse would have virtually no chance of escaping.

Sleepless Night confidently and smoothly used his most familiar methods to teleport multiple times, and should be completely safe now, but Vast Spiritual Power sensed something amiss.

He suddenly looked up and... felt a chill run down his spine.

Above the entire Milky Way, a gigantic face has appeared at some unknown time.

"Longing breeds longing, and longing breeds longing. Where all beings harbor doubts, countless ghosts chant verses..."

A soft murmur echoes between the Milky Way.

Sleepless and cold sweat poured down his face. He closed his eyes tightly, then opened them again, finally realizing that there was a mirror between the Milky Way and that face.

He has fallen into the mirror.

………………

Elsewhere, Wan Guizang sighed, "I really shouldn't have come."

"No, you've come at the perfect time."

Guan Luoyang stood above the darkness of the starry sky, looking down at the heavens.

"Since a powerful figure like you has come all this way, taking you down would be enough to announce our presence to the entire universe, wouldn't it?"

"Announcing the arrival of my Tai Su Grotto-Heaven in this realm!"
