A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 557 The Relic of Freedom, How Did Heaven Open?

"Announcing it to the universe?"

Wan Guizang smiled slightly, "If your purpose is merely to demonstrate the power of Tai Su Cave Heaven, there is no need to resort to such hasty methods."

"With the foundation laid by the Immortal Dao Seed, and your suppression of the seven-star experts from all sides of the universe today, wouldn't it be even more impressive for me to represent the City of Transcendence and the First Core to form an alliance with you?"

Guan Luoyang also smiled and said, "I've seen some of your background information. Being able to hold important positions in both organizations simultaneously, your words certainly carry weight."

"but……"

Guan Luoyang's smile faded. "Today, the only people who came to spy on my port were three from the Supreme Dao Sect, and they didn't seem to have any obvious malicious intent."

"Other things like rolling your eyes, red eyes, pure murderous intent are fine, but the scheming and calculating aura about you, all those thoughts, are like a disco ball constantly flashing disgusting light in my eyes, it's really repulsive."

As they finished speaking, Hydra, who was behind Wan Guicang, suddenly became enveloped in a phantom of a gold coin and fled.

When the aura of eighteen seven-star experts erupted from the space port of the Kingdom of Karen in one go, Hydra's mind was already in turmoil. Shocked, he immediately prepared to escape.

However, at that time, Wan Guizang was still by his side, and he needed to keep an eye on Wan Guizang's movements.

Who would have thought that the so-called Imperial Tutor of the Kingdom of Karen was actually an eight-star powerhouse?

Since this person also came with ill intentions, Hydra no longer cared about Wan Guizang's opinion; there was only one word for her: "escape!"

The golden coin-like light and shadow on Hydra's body also have an extraordinary origin; it is a divine power specially bestowed upon it by the leader of the "First Core".

Ponzi, the God of Wealth, was the founder of the "First Core" battle group, not to mention after the clash with the main god caused some members of the battle group to lose contact.

Even when all the eight-star powerhouses in this battle group were still in contact, the God of Wealth held the greatest authority within the battle group.

Wan Guizang was able to slightly break free from Lan Daotianwu's suppression and hold important positions in two battle groups because he had made contact with this God of Wealth, which shows how powerful Pangzi was.

However, when the golden coin light and shadow, carrying Hydra, disappeared into the distance and reappeared, it did not take him directly back to the God of Wealth's kingdom as it had done before.

Instead, he appeared at the edge of a vast and boundless cyan halo.

Hydradon was filled with doubt and surprise. Peeking out through the light and shadow of the gold coin, he immediately saw the silhouette of an immeasurably tall and majestic god, which made his thoughts pause.

The river of time is vast and boundless, with no beginning, no end, and no banks.

However, a blue halo stood upright, its upper part already above the surface of the River of Time, while its lower part was still submerged in the water.

The interior of this section of the river of time is exactly what the Karen Galaxy looks like right now, and the lower half of the halo is actually within the Karen Galaxy.

Guan Luoyang's figure was also half underwater and half above water, and his height seemed to be similar to the diameter of the halo.

This halo stood behind him, slowly rotating.

The Vacuum Heavenly Demon Seal, a unified energy that circulates throughout the heavens and the sun and moon!

What was once a means to return one's own power has now become so powerful that it allows one's upper body to extend out of the river of time and distort infinite space.

Even with the protection of the gold coin's light and shadow, Hydra cannot escape the spacetime distortion caused by this halo.

His entire being seemed to be nothing more than an inconspicuous little black dot on the halo, attached to it and changing position as the cyan halo slowly rotated.

Guan Luoyang paid no attention to Hydra's current state, only focusing on what was ahead.

Across the river of time, opposite him, a colossal shadow gradually emerged, like a divine tiger with seven heads, two wings, four legs, and nine tails.

His four feet were still underwater, but his wings had already broken through the water. Although the fur on his seven heads was the same color, the king-shaped pattern on his forehead was a different color for each of them.

The seven-character shape appears extremely ancient and mysterious, resembling both immortal spiritual inscriptions and magical runes, or even the patterns on a weapon's body created after a blood sacrifice to a divine weapon.

Wan Guizang had already sensed something amiss when he saw Zhu Can enter the battle. Without hesitation, he stopped suppressing himself and immediately broke through to the eight-star level.

From that moment on, his battle with Guan Luoyang had already begun.

However, given Hydra's strength, he couldn't sense their clash.

By the time he and Guan Luoyang began their conversation from Hydra's perspective, their battle had actually been going on for a long time.

"Heaven, Earth, Ice, Fire, Wind, Mountains, Sea!"

The ancient god Tianhu Dharma form of Wan Guizang has seven heads, each uttering a roar, and seven nascent worlds converge in his mouth.

These seven-colored worlds contain destructive wills that go to extremes. Once they are opened up, what will be formed will be far from a starry universe or a world with a flat earth and a round sky.

It may form unique forms such as a world of pure fire or a world of pure ice.

The infinite energies within the world, each possessing a single attribute, fight against each other, using endless destruction and slaughter to make the extreme will inherent in these seven worlds at their inception even more extreme, constantly settling and expanding.

In the end, these seven worlds will transform into seven divine weapons, each forged over tens of thousands of years, encapsulating an endless history of slaughter.

Such moves can be more easily executed by taking advantage of the special environment of the River of Time.

The swirling mist of time rising above the long river can bring more variables to these seven worlds, causing the destructive will represented by each world to evolve in ways that even Wan Guicang himself might not have anticipated.

Faced with such an offensive, Guan Luoyang's Zhou Tian Dharma Image merely waved his sleeves, and the flow of the River of Time immediately underwent a hazy change.

In a single river channel, it suddenly splits into thousands of tributaries, intertwining and surging with each other. They do not exceed the scope of this river channel, yet they are incompatible with each other, like thousands of raging dragons, their bodies winding and long, with only their heads visible but not their tails, surging and roaring, rushing away in a cluster.

The seven worlds that spewed out from the ancient god Tianhu Dharma form did not collide with each other after being washed by the raging river of dragons.

That surging, incomparably powerful dragon of time, like an empty dream, passed silently through the seven great worlds.

But right after the Dragon Tide crossed over to the Seven Worlds, all the new changes that occurred within these seven worlds began to resemble Guan Luoyang's supernatural power pattern.

The seven mad rays of light, representing the will to destroy, became stable and even began to rotate slowly.

The rotation speed of the seven orbs of light was exactly the same as the halo behind Guan Luoyang.

Vacuum Dragon, its magic stains the world!

Guan Luoyang waved his hands in the air, seemingly changing into countless hand seals. Instantly, the seven worlds containing the will of destruction also transformed into seven different hand seals, which smashed down on Tianhu's seven heads.

With a few chaotic roars, the body of the ancient god Tianhu was slammed into the river of time.

After cutting off the possibility of his opponent escaping to other parallel universes, Guan Luoyang's Dharma form also sank down, returning to the universe's spacetime.

Inside the Karen Galaxy, many powerful Seven Star experts are still putting up a stubborn resistance.

Four enormous, ethereal fish circled and rotated, forming a near-three-dimensional tai chi sphere. The fish scales were crystal clear, allowing glimpses of the intense light emanating from the center.

The white-eyed, icy, and annihilating light of the stars clashed continuously with the magnetic field energy unleashed by the Imperial Divine Fist.

The scene here was incredibly violent, while on the other side, the scene at the Changsi Demon Lord's place was eerily quiet.

The Demon Lord of Long Thoughts simply smiled as he looked at the precious mirror in his hand.

On the mirror, the figure of Eternal Night Sleepless is like a relief, seemingly unable to move, but his eyes and the crystal on his forehead still have an overflowing charm.

The two looked at each other through the mirror, and the vast world around them, indistinguishable from reality, floated and disappeared.

Incense is supposed to be a mixed thing, but the colorless sword formed by the swirling incense is like a rift running between different worlds, causing the five elements to be in disarray and the sun to fly away.

Whether it's real or fake, the Eternal Regret Demon Sword can cut through anything!

Liu Bowen observed the battlefield and sighed in admiration: "I have never heard of such a battle group in the Tai Su Cave Heaven before."

Celestial Master Cangri stood beside Liu Bowen, seemingly enjoying the scenery with the three from the Supreme Dao. Upon hearing this, he said, "Tai Su Cave Heaven is an East Sea Cave Heaven under the jurisdiction of the Tai Qing Immortal Realm."

Liu Bowen's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

So it wasn't from the Main God Space after all?

That's true. Within the Great Void Sea, there has never been only the Main God Space, which is capable of traversing different multiverses.

But if even a single grotto-heaven under the jurisdiction of the Taiqing Immortal Realm possesses such power, then what if the entire Immortal Realm were to set its sights on this universe...?

"Fellow Daoist, there is no need to worry."

Celestial Master Cangri, with his keen insight into human nature, smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Fengming, the master of Tai Su Cave Heaven, did not come from the Immortal Realm. He merely drifted here from the Boundary Sea by chance."

"It is only because I see the state of this world, where people are greedy for money and pleasure, killing and fighting, making it a dangerous place of ambition and a sea of ​​evil, where people suffer greatly and have difficulty knowing virtue. Therefore, I am determined to spread the Dharma and the Way, promote goodness and virtue, and eliminate demons and monsters."

As they were talking, they suddenly noticed the starlight flickering.

The gravitational field of the entire Karen galaxy fluctuates, dark matter surges like a tide, dark energy rolls like waves, and in space, magnetic fields converge into a roar that echoes far beyond the Karen galaxy.

Within the Karen Galaxy, that star flickers on and off.

Suddenly, blood cascaded down like a waterfall above the galaxy, and a tiger's head the size of a planet crashed into the planet Karen.

The star slightly deformed, and the flames surged, engulfing the tiger's head.

But Liu Bowen and the others, with their keen eyesight, immediately saw that the tiger's head remained unharmed even as the star's flames violently trembled.

The ferocious tiger died with its eyes wide open, blood still flowing from the severed neck wound, turning into a blood-red river on the surface of the star.

Although Liu Bowen possessed profound composure, the difference in their levels of understanding was unavoidable. Sensing the eight-star level of ferocity emanating from the tiger's head, he was immediately terrified and hurriedly asked, "Master, what is this?"

Before Celestial Master Cangri could reply, another tiger's head crashed down from the sky above the Karen Galaxy.

This tiger's head was supposed to have just missed that star in the Karen Galaxy.

Unfortunately, when it touched the edge of that star, it was affected by the star's gravity, and its direction was slightly skewed. The tiger's head rolled half a circle and crashed into the star's atmosphere.

If it were an ordinary planet, it wouldn't take long to engulf and destroy it after colliding with a star.

But these two tiger heads, scorched by the flames of the star, did not burn out. From a distance, they looked as if two swollen lumps had appeared on the face of the sun, which was indescribably strange.

Then blood rained down across the sky, and five tiger heads fell one after another.

These tiger heads didn't crash into that star; instead, they were scattered throughout the space of the Karen Galaxy, gradually rotating in conjunction with the gravity of the entire Karen Galaxy.

Liu Bowen looked up, but above the Karen Galaxy, besides the dark space, there were only distant starlight, forming countless stars.

He strained his eyes but could not see what kind of giant beast had its head severed.

They didn't see the person who killed the vicious tiger either.

Outside the Karen Galaxy, Guan Luoyang's Dharma form dragged the corpse of the ancient god Tianhu, pulling on the tiger's tail, as it walked through the starry sky.

The azure halo formed by the unified energy of the universe behind him had disappeared, replaced by the divine light of the two poles of merit of the Taiqing Heavenly Dao hanging behind his head.

Wan Guizang's Dharma form has clearly been killed by him. The remaining Dharma form's corpse is not stiff even after death. It should be properly suppressed in a place and slowly worn down.

But Guan Luoyang has shrunk the distance of several astronomical units into a single step, moving further and further away as if he were searching for something.

Finally, he stopped beside a star that was emitting an orange-red light and was aging.

Guan Luoyang inhaled the infinite dark matter of the universe, and with a flick of his arm, threw the corpse of the ancient god Tianhu into that star.

The force of that throw was terrifying; the gravity and magnetism of the entire galaxy tilted towards him, causing Tianhu's corpse to carry immense kinetic energy and crash directly into the core region of that star.

The entire red star began to deform violently, flattened by the impact. Then, the immense mass of the ancient god Tianhu combined with the mass of the entire star, causing the flattened star to begin to collapse inward.

If left unchecked, this star may soon transform into a white dwarf, suppressing the corpse of the ancient god Tianhu within it.

Is this Guan Luoyang's plan?

No.

If the remnants of an eight-star powerhouse are not guarded by a powerhouse of the same level, or if they are not continuously worn away, they will eventually be freed from the white dwarf star if they are merely trapped inside.

Moreover, Guan Luoyang's purpose was not merely to destroy the mutilated corpse.

The Heavenly Gate, majestic and incomparable, appeared behind the divine light, slightly larger than Guan Luoyang's entire Dharma form.

The divine light of the two poles of heavenly merit behind his head also began to rotate faster. His eyes were slightly closed, and he reached out with his right hand, pulling out an axe from his personal space.

The gentle breath stirred the flames on the star's surface, causing changes in the orbits of many surrounding celestial bodies.

Then, voices of anticipation echoed through the starry sky.

"Pangu..."

Guan Luoyang tilted his body slightly as he flew toward the star, swinging his axe in the process.

"Opening the heavens!!!!"

………………

At the center of the Milky Way galaxy lies a supermassive black hole.

From the moment this patch of black appeared in the universe, this place has been a forbidden zone for life.

Even the most adventurous adventurers of the interstellar era wouldn't consider this place one of their targets.

However, at the edge of this black hole, a tiny point of light is hidden.

The tiny point of light appears as a mirage to the immense gravity of a black hole, as if it doesn't truly exist in this universe, and nothing in this universe can truly interfere with it.

If someone were to observe this scene, they might think that the point of light would remain in this position forever, until the end of the universe.

But today, things have changed.

Tiny specks of light, quietly growing.

Clad in a green robe, with slightly curled hair, Wan Guizang stepped onto the edge of the black hole, slowly opened his eyes, and gazed at the silent starry sky.

After an unknown amount of time, even with his composure, he finally couldn't suppress his laughter.

"Hahahaha, hahahahaha..."

"Lando Tianwu, Lando Tianwu, and Pang Zi, your schemes are ultimately useless."

Wan Guizang's laughter was filled with unbridled joy.

The Imperial Tutor of the Kingdom of Nakalen really did him a great favor.

Wan Guizang was born in the world of "Canghai" and is a genius in both business and martial arts.

In his prime, he had already mastered the martial arts masterpiece "Zhouliu Liuxu Gong", making him the number one martial arts master in the world.

As the owner of the God of Wealth's ring, he is said to be able to control all the world's treasures and enjoys a great reputation in the Central Plains, Japan, the Western Regions, and even overseas countries.

However, even after achieving this, he was still not satisfied. Instead, he wanted to elevate the status of the entire merchant class and even allow merchants to limit imperial power and control the people.

However, at the crucial moment when Wan Guizang was making all sorts of plans, two teams of reincarnators arrived and each chose their own camp to fight, which made him realize that there was such a vast landscape beyond the world.

After receiving an invitation from one of the reincarnators to enter the Main God Space, Wan Guicang was filled with ambition and eagerness. He developed his network of connections, studied martial arts, and improved his skills day and night.

Although the "Zhouliu Liuxu Gong" is only a four-star martial art, its fundamental principles are derived from several chapters of the "I Ching" and the "Tao Te Ching".

Within the God's Space, it is easy to find martial arts that are in line with this martial arts theory and are even more advanced.

Wan Guicang is ruthless and shrewd. He ruthlessly plunders resources in the mission world, returns to the Reincarnator base to run a shop and accumulate points. Although there are many times when he is on the verge of death, he becomes very wealthy at an extremely fast pace.

He quickly chose the "Supreme Heaven and Earth Technique" as his main cultivation method for the future.

The "Supreme Skill of Ascending to Heaven and Exiting Earth" is a divine skill manual from the Jade Emperor Dynasty's multiverse, created by Fuxi in that multiverse, and it comes in multiple versions.

Some versions are merely the cultivation techniques left behind by Fuxi before his ascension to the mortal realm, and are only rated as a mere six stars.

In some versions, this six-star technique was further developed by Zhang Sanfeng after many years of circulation. Combined with the Heavenly Divine Weapon Ten Directions Annihilation, the technique's profoundness reached the seven-star level.

The most powerful version is the subsequent content created after Fuxi ascended to the divine realm, communicated with the gods, and traveled through the starry sea. This version is enough to cultivate to the peak of the eight-star level.

Fuxi deduced the universe and created the Eight Trigrams, making him the ancestor of the Way of Change. The Zhouyi (Book of Changes) is merely a slight interpretation of Fuxi's Way.

Based on the "Zhouliu Liuxu Gong", Wan Guizang acquired different versions of the "Supreme Gong of Heaven and Earth" and used the spiritual materials and precious pills from all realms that he could obtain from the Main God Space as supplements. Every step he took can be said to have been steady and reliable.

However, after breaking through to the seventh star level, his path diverged significantly from the path of Fuxi.

Fuxi of the Jade Dynasty's multiverse was a mortal who embarked on the path of cultivation, subduing demons, practicing magic, and helping all living beings.

Despite possessing supreme wisdom, it never hesitated to retreat. Instead, it risked its life to fight against extraterrestrial threats and subsequent cosmic calamities.

Wan Guicang, adhering to the principles of commerce, had grand ambitions, but in reality, he merely sought to use merchant methods to seize supreme power and bring all emperors, generals, peddlers, and laborers under his control as if they were commodities.

Everything he does, even if the process is tortuous and has a little altruistic aspect, is ultimately aimed at enhancing his own power. Once it is in his own interest, he will eliminate it by any means necessary.

Since there was a disagreement with the sacred path of Fuxi, Wan Guizang naturally had to consider other cultivation methods.

Besides the "Huangji Jingshi Shu" he obtained after joining the "City Beyond", his third major cultivation method was the "Seven Limits of Devouring Heaven and Destroying Earth", which also originated from the Jade Emperor Dynasty's multiverse.

By combining the domineering power of the "Seven Limits of Devouring Heaven and Earth" with the wisdom and sacredness of the "Supreme Skill of Heaven and Earth", and further refined and polished by the "Book of Imperial Principles", a martial arts achievement that truly fits Wan Guizang himself was formed.

In terms of strength, Wan Guicang should have been able to reach the eight-star level two or three years ago.

However, he and Lan Daotianwu were somewhat at odds, and he knew that if he were only a seven-star, Lan Daotianwu wouldn't be too hostile towards him.

However, once they advance to the eighth star, they will inevitably face the schemes of Lan Daotianwu.

Therefore, Wan Guizang suppressed his true feelings and secretly plotted for the future.

He managed to get in touch with the god of wealth, but it was like trying to get something from a tiger; he knew from the start that he couldn't trust him completely.

After the main gods clashed with each other, Ponzi immediately forced him to make a statement and take up a position in the "First Core," which was tantamount to betraying the "City Beyond" halfway. This shows that the old scoundrel had sinister intentions.

However, Lan Daotianwu showed unexpected magnanimity and allowed him to hold both positions.

In his anxiety, Wan Guizang knew that his days were numbered.

He saw that Dumon was about to make a big move, so he prepared to turn the tables on him. He would give Dumon some encouragement while confusing the Reincarnators, so that he could fake his death and escape when Dumon actually launched the plan.

That faint light actually came from the relics of the "Worldly Free King Buddha," who usurped the throne of Buddhism and dominated the starry sea in a certain universe.

Although the relics of the Buddha of the Worldly Free King were also worn away when the universe's lifespan ended, they still possessed the quality of an eight-star high-grade object.

After Wan Guizang secretly acquired this item, he kept it as a trump card, hiding a bit of his spiritual consciousness inside it.

However, before Du Meng could even make a move, he encountered Guan Luoyang, a variable.

This is even better. Guan Luoyang's appearance was too sudden. Wan Guizang himself did not expect to encounter such a powerful enemy. Therefore, it is even more reasonable for him to die at the hands of this powerful enemy.

"Ha, Lando Tenmu and Ponzi, I must repay them."

Wan Guizang pondered carefully, "Now that I am like a fish in the sea and a bird in the sky, many things become much easier to do."

"And that imperial tutor from the Kingdom of Karen, he only killed my Dharma form, which was centered on the Seven Limits of Devouring Heaven and Earth, and was at most equivalent to 60% of my true strength."

"When the time is right, we will use our true form to act, in conjunction with the relics of the Buddha of Worldly Freedom, and give him a surprise."

Having finished his calculations, and relying on the relic for protection, he looked back at the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, feeling smug and bursting into laughter again.

After laughing, he went to contact his hidden network of contacts.

Suddenly, he faintly heard a tiger's roar.

Wow!!

Suddenly, a shocking change occurred. Without hesitation, Wan Guicang moved with a roar, stepping into the river of time, traveling against time and space, and appearing ten minutes earlier.

This step bought him ten minutes, but just as he returned to the past, the terrifying event that had occurred to him also followed him into the past.

A colossal axe, capable of splitting the heavens and earth, enveloped in the raging flames of a celestial annihilation, broke through the void and cleaved down upon us.

"Hahaha, Minister Wan, you haven't even left your life yet, and you already want to leave?!"

Amidst laughter, a martial immortal traversing the Milky Way, wielding the Pangu Axe, unleashed a Heaven-Splitting Slash!

I'd like to recommend a book, kind of like the Tokyo style, it's a new book by a veteran author, I read his books when I was a kid! (Just kidding)

Anyway, he's a total homebody, but if he were to write a fantasy novel, he could create a really exciting world. This book might also be quite fantasy-oriented later on, so everyone should check it out!
