A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 582 A Small Test, An Invitation

An Feiyu and the others knew that Yan Kuangtu had given Guan Luoyang a copy of the "Heavenly Demon Skill," so they immediately made the connection when the old man introduced himself.

As for the others, they weren't in a hurry to interrupt at this point.

As Guan Luoyang watched more and more people being drawn into this causal hub, he thought for a moment and simply created the appearance of a chat platform, projected it into their minds, and let them operate it themselves.

In an instant, a dozen or so lively individuals created a small group, selecting people whose profile pictures suggested they might get along well and inviting them to join.

"You're really going to create a chat platform for us?"

An Feiyu sent a private message, saying, "But wasn't the original purpose of all this to unleash some kind of protective supernatural power? Once you've completed your power, this chat platform will shut down, right?"

Guan Luoyang thought for a moment and replied, "It's alright. I'll add a few more steps to that supernatural power, and even if we keep this chat platform, the causal connection won't become more obvious."

As soon as he sent that reply, he saw that An Feiyu had also immediately created a small group, picked a few people from each world, and pulled them into the group to chat.

An Feiyu: "By the way, even if we create a small group chat, can't you still spy on us anytime?"

Guan Luoyang: "How could that be? I will definitely respect everyone's privacy. Unless you contact me, I won't go looking for you on purpose."

An Feiyu: "That's good. The main problem is that the chat platform you created looks too familiar with all the operation pages. I'm afraid that all my comments are being monitored and censored by you. One day, I might just mention a few names or post a few pictures and my account will be banned."

Guan Luoyang said helplessly, "Are you also worried that one day I'll recommend GG to each of you based on your big data?"

"Don't treat this like an ordinary chat platform, okay? I'm known as an immortal in many worlds now, this is a cheat code given to you by an immortal, it's high-end stuff, you know?"

Anfeiyu: "Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore."

Before he left, he sent a meme of a cartoon character with a round head and starry eyes looking up at the big boss, outlined in black lines on a white sheet of paper.

As expected of a reincarnated being who walks the path of a lightning tribulation ghost immortal, he is already exceptionally skilled at operating the various new functions that have appeared in his mind.

While Guan Luoyang was preoccupied with various matters, talking to his friends who had contacted him privately, he also approached Yan Kuangtu for a conversation.

"When Brother Yan gave me that 'Heavenly Demon Art', he said he wanted to see whether I would eventually learn it in a way that leaned towards you or towards someone else."

"That Heavenly Demon Art can be said to be the starting point of my Heavenly Demon Path. Now I have achieved some success on this path. Since we are going to look back on the cause and effect, it is inevitable that you will be involved, brother."

Guan Luoyang laughed and said, "If I don't include our karma in this set of supernatural powers, and if I'm fighting someone in the future and my opponent suddenly uses some move to target you, wouldn't that be considered repaying kindness with enmity?"

Yan Kuangtu was not buying it: "When I had Wang Tiehai deliver that manual, I made it clear that there is no gratitude or favor between us."

"However, if you wish to use your supernatural powers to encompass this cause and effect, I will not stop you. Otherwise, if I encounter a formidable enemy in the future and it involves you, it would seem as if I am incapable of bearing the burden alone."

For An Feiyu and his group, Guan Luoyang's supernatural power can be seen as a one-sided protection on a causal level.

However, for a powerful figure like Yan Kuangtu, who is also an eight-star expert, Guan Luoyang's divine ability has a slightly different meaning; it can indeed be considered a kind of two-way encryption.

"On another note, the fact that you could touch the causal threads on my body from across the Chaos Sea suggests that your cultivation level is probably beyond that of an ordinary eight-star cultivator, isn't it?"

Yan Kuangtu said, "Such progress in strength is truly remarkable. Would you be interested in sparring with me?"

Guan Luoyang laughed and said, "I am indeed quite relaxed now. However, between you and me, we are currently only communicating through a thread of cause and effect. If we were to start a fight based on this thread of connection, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to show our full abilities."

Yan Kuangtu shouted, "Then let's start with some appetizers!"

Before he finished speaking, a light gray thread suddenly appeared in Guan Luoyang's palm, as if it were about to materialize.

One end of the silk thread was in Guan Luoyang's hand, while the other end stretched out endlessly, leading directly into the primordial chaos and the Great Void Sea.

As the thin thread trembled, in the infinite distance, it was as if a dark curtain of sky unfolded, and in the very center of the curtain, a pure golden sun pulsated.

As this strange phenomenon vaguely appeared in Guan Luoyang's eyes, the golden sun suddenly fell from the center of the sky, its speed increasing and its size growing larger and larger.

Seemingly due to constant friction with the surrounding primordial chaos, the shape of this sun gradually changed as it crashed down.

Its feathers shone brightly, its fierce light was terrifying, until the entire golden sun transformed into a sharp claw, which came into being from nothingness and slashed down at Guan Luoyang's head.

The Great Sun God-Slaying Strategy!

Guan Luoyang immediately recognized the origin of this technique; it was a top-tier demonic cultivation technique from the world of "Immortal Gourd".

He remained unmoved and steadfast, tilting his head back to the sky and exhaling a breath of fresh air.

A cool current of air rose up, soaring three million miles into the sky, creating a cool and slightly dark area within the magnificent rainbow sea.

Then the clear air condensed, and countless stars appeared.

Countless stars, large and small, some physical and some spiritual, floated in this cool area, spinning and revolving, intertwining and merging to form a brilliant galaxy that surged upwards.

Both "The Great Sun God-Slaying Strategy" and "The Heavenly River Orthodox Method" originated from the world of the Immortal Gourd, yet they are both original and form their own distinct schools.

The mighty, god-slaying claw of the Great Sun, clashed with this boundless and profound Daoist energy of the starry river, and both were annihilated, transforming into ever-expanding dust and light clouds at the point of impact.

If this were in ordinary space, their simple demonstration would be enough to create a cosmic spectacle.

It could even cause magnetic field oscillations and abnormal radiation in surrounding galaxies for many years.

"Oh, so you've studied the Heavenly River Orthodox Method."

Yan Kuangtu was overjoyed at the sight of his prey and laughed loudly, "Good, but the Great Sun Slaughtering God Strategy is not the main cultivation technique I practice."

"If what you're good at is the Heavenly River Dao technique you just used, I'm afraid you still won't be able to get over the anger you felt when I forced this secret manual on you!"

Guan Luoyang raised his eyebrows and said, "Then please, Brother Yan, come and taste my somewhat accomplished Path of the Heavenly Demon."

Back in the late Qing Dynasty, Guan Luoyang once received a fragmented inheritance of the true form of the Azure Bird.

The Heavenly Demon Technique manual that Yan Kuangtu entrusted to someone to deliver was a set of techniques that this old man and the founder of the Azure Bird had jointly improved.

He wanted to see whether Guan Luoyang, the successor of the Azure Bird, was more influenced by Yan Kuangtu or by the founder of the Azure Bird after practicing the Heavenly Demon Art.

To put it bluntly, this behavior is treating Guan Luoyang as a tool for gambling. Anyone with pride would take this matter to heart.

Although Guan Luoyang was clear about his grudges and remembered the kindness of giving away the Heavenly Demon Skill for free, he secretly wanted to teach this old guy a lesson.

A celestial demonic aura, both real and illusory, appeared around him, seemingly gray and white, rising noisily and evolving into a vast ocean of chaotic primordial energy.

Subsequently, tens of thousands of chaotic array diagrams condensed in this vast sea of ​​primordial energy, overlapping each other and standing upright in front of Guan Luoyang.

Guan Luoyang slightly raised his hand, and the causal line in his right palm passed right through the center of the array diagram. He then clenched his fist and struck forward.

The fist touched the surface of the array for a moment, then stopped and slowly withdrew.

Beyond the line of cause and effect, in another distant world.

Yan Kuangtu was warming himself by a fire in a forest.

This jungle is very peculiar. The tall trees are covered with coconut-like fruits, but when you open these fruits, you find ready-made rice bowls inside.

Steaming hot rice, rich and fragrant soup, and even crispy fried pork chops, carefully prepared grilled eel, and more.

This scenery is not the result of any skilled craftsman's meticulous work, but rather a natural growth of the rice bowl tree in this natural environment.

Besides trees, the jungle is also home to all sorts of strange wild animals.

There are baboons whose fur is made of top-quality meat floss, bison whose horns are made of colorful ice cream, and sheep whose bodies are covered in vanilla-flavored drinks.

On the fire in front of Yan Kuangtu, there was a whole crocodile, about twenty meters high, with its long tail coiled up, resembling a small mountain.

This ferocious beast finally looks a little normal on the surface.

However, once the outer skin and flesh are roasted, and that crispy skin is cut open, you will find that all the bones inside the crocodile are like rich, creamy candy, which has been roasted until half-melted, the blood is like strong liquor, and the internal organs are like spicy herbs, fruits, and wood.

The group of people gathered around the fire, after smelling the aroma of cooked meat, began to eagerly share it.

"Master!"

A woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a black suit brought over a plate, placed the crocodile head in the center, and handed it to Yan Kuangtu. "It tastes really good. You should try some too."

She walked up to Yan Kuangtu, then suddenly stopped, her expression changing slightly as she looked around.

"Don't move, this is my opponent!!"

Yan Kuangtu, who was originally sitting on a large rock with his arms crossed and eyes closed, had somehow stood up. With his white beard and hair, he slapped his palm into the air.

The sunlight above the jungle suddenly disappeared, as if the entire atmosphere had faded away, and stars appeared abruptly in the night sky.

The black and white intertwined air currents transformed into the shape of a demonic dragon, which surged out from the high sky and roared out.

The demonic dragon came freely, its long, winding body constantly emerging from the vacuum, finally settling at a precise length of three thousand feet, before unleashing its tail and swirling down to strike.

Compared to Yan Kuangtu's normal human size, this demonic dragon, even just a single dragon tooth, could be considered a colossal creature.

However, when Yan Kuangtu raised his hand to the sky, the entire body of the demonic dragon that was swooping down from above suddenly froze.

The demonic dragon, constructed using both innate and acquired primordial chaos energies according to the proportions of the "Heaven and Earth Furnace" array, is capable of dissolving any matter or energy born in the acquired universe in an instant, causing everything within its reach to return to a state of chaos.

However, this technique, which was powerful enough to refine numerous stars and even injure a seven-star expert in an instant, was now being refined in reverse.

The entire dragon, formed from chaotic energy, completely transformed into a black metal the instant it froze in place.

Great Sun Slaughtering God Strategy, Mysterious Heaven Black Gold Palm!

The so-called Xuan Tian Wu Jin Palm was originally just a mere two-star martial art, invented by some lackeys of the Ministry of Justice for use in torture.

In Yan Kuangtu's home world, this palm technique is inferior to any of the Seventy-Two Shaolin Arts.

However, perhaps it was simply because Yan Kuangtu thought the name was good, or perhaps he had once used this palm technique to injure a memorable figure.

Therefore, before he became a reincarnator, he had already developed this palm technique to its ultimate level in his home world, reaching the level of four stars.

After he became a Reincarnator, this palm technique was constantly evolving with each use, and could be used as the ultimate move for Yan Kuangtu's current star level at any time to unleash its power.

"Good lad! If this is considered minor success in the Heavenly Demon Path, then aren't you going to consider a ten-star realm as major success?"

Although Yan Kuangtu easily blocked the attack, he knew very well that it was only because the two sides were fighting across the chaos by relying on a mere causal thread, and could not exert much of their strength.

If we could be in the same universe and have a great battle, this little guy I didn't take seriously before would definitely be a great opponent!

Yan Kuangtu was both surprised and delighted, and his fighting spirit intensified, so he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

puff!!!!

Just as he opened his mouth to laugh, seemingly due to a slight tremor in his body, his thick hair and incredibly bushy beard suddenly detached from his skin with a "poof".

Every hair and every whisker grew scales, claws, and horns, transforming into a small white dragon that flew through the air.

Yan Kuangtu was stunned. He touched his chin, which was completely bald, without a single stubble. His head was covered in a thick, shiny bald patch.

The woman holding the tray let out a short, soft laugh.

Yan Kuangtu turned to look at her and found that not only his disciple, but also the group of guys who had been engrossed in eating over the fire were all staring at him.

"Master, you're actually doing very well, uh-cough!"

Lin Touhua coughed lightly and said in a serious tone, "You used to never shave or cut your hair, but now you look much younger and more handsome than before."

The small white dragons flying in the air hadn't gone far yet; they seemed to be deliberately lingering nearby, their bodies undulating like waves as they all stared curiously at Yan Kuangtu's bald head.

Several smaller dragons quietly approached, extended their claws, and poked Yan Kuangtu's scalp.

Lin Touhua immediately picked up her plate, turned around, and pretended to eat, afraid she wouldn't be able to hold it in.

Yan Kuangtu's face was gloomy. He snorted coldly, and all the little dragons popped and exploded, returning to his pores and restoring him to his original state, with his beard and hair still thick.

"Good, good, good, very good."

Yan Kuangtu puffed out his beard and glared, but soon burst into laughter, "Your skills are quite something, kid, but sparring through this thin thread isn't really that satisfying."

"We're just about to host a martial arts tournament here, with very generous prizes and plenty of formidable opponents. Since you're free, would you be interested in participating?"
