A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 588 Not an Erhu

Before Guo Jing could finish speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance.

There are actually only three survivors of the Tongue Battle Team who came here with Toriko.

Besides the chubby-faced Guo Jing, the other two are the monk Tanzong and Zhou Renjie.

All three of them became reincarnators as ordinary humans, and at that time they couldn't even get a one-star rating. But now they have all reached the seven-star level and have experienced countless battles.

Regardless of the type of enemy they face, they have sufficient experience to confront them.

In the battle that wiped out the Tongue Battle Group, the three of them joined forces and even fought to a draw against an eight-star ability user from the Chaos Tide. As a result, that ability user was killed by Toriko with a series of attacks when Toriko seized the opportunity.

Now their reaction is even faster. When the monk Tanzong put his palms together, the magnetic field of the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles of land completed a resonant adjustment.

The biomagnetic fields of plants and wild animals within this range were also regulated, and for a time, countless food creatures generated brainwaves that seemed to worship this direction.

With the Yi Jin Jing, which transcends the realm of the Boundless, he communicated with the magnetic field power of heaven and earth, transforming it into true qi. He condensed the magnetic energy of hundreds of thousands of miles into a mere hundred feet, transforming it into thick black clouds and millions of pale golden Sanskrit characters, which together formed a black and gold bell.

The hundred-foot-tall golden bell blocked the entrance to the cave.

As the central hub of all magnetic field energy within this area, moving the Golden Bell would require an effort equivalent to lifting and shifting the entire landmass spanning hundreds of thousands of miles.

The gravity environment varies greatly in different regions of the Gourmet Continent. In the vicinity of this area, which spans hundreds of thousands of miles, the gravity level is similar to that of the surface of a red giant star.

Therefore, the mass of this landmass is many times greater than that of a star in the ordinary solar system.

The Yi Jin Jing, a divine skill used by the monk Tan Zong, was created by Bodhidharma, the founder of the Dragon Tiger Gate world. However, it is not an Indian martial art. Rather, it is a skill created by Bodhidharma after he comprehended the profound martial arts concept of "harmony between man and nature" in the Central Plains.

If it were in the desolate space where there were no high-energy celestial bodies nearby, a seven-star martial artist like Monk Tanzong could only destroy an ordinary planet with one move. He would not be able to easily unleash the power equivalent to a star with his own strength.

However, in an environment like the Gourmet Continent, he can borrow a defensive power similar to the arrival of a red giant star.

The brilliance of the martial arts theory of the unity of man and nature lies precisely in this: using the insignificant human body to borrow the immense power of the eight directions!

If it were an eight-star expert from another system who didn't understand the mysteries of the Celestial Martial Arts, it would probably take some effort to break through this defense.

However, the figure that drifted in seemed to make no extra movements at all, simply maintaining its original speed and continuing to approach.

The hundred-foot-long golden bell then emitted a loud hum and shifted to the side, making way for the cave entrance.

The figure had already approached the cave entrance, but thousands of lightning bolts converged from the side, exploding into a dazzling white light.

Wearing an orange-red martial arts uniform, Guo Jing unleashed the ultimate technique of the Turtle Hermit School of martial arts: the World-Shaking Palm!

The "World Shocking Palm" technique is designed to injure people with electric current.

When Guo Jing made his move, he narrowly missed the golden bell again and received help from the monk Tanzong.

The vast Earth's magnetic field no longer transformed into Buddhist true energy, but rather naturally transformed into the palm power of his Myriad Worlds Shocking Palm.

In that instant, the light emitted by the thunder made the blurry figure appear clearly in Guo Jing's eyes.

That's the White-Browed Taoist!

The White-Browed Taoist was of medium height, neither too tall nor too short, and his physique was not excessively robust. He had a ruddy complexion, snow-white hair and beard, and wore a black robe, gray clothes, and cloth shoes, which were loose and simple.

These physical characteristics, when applied to any elderly person, would give them an air of otherworldly wisdom or at the very least, a kind and gentle demeanor.

But for some reason, even though the White-Browed Taoist possessed so many kind and approachable qualities, the first reaction of anyone who saw him was still to shrink back in fear.

Because no matter who you are, you can sense an unusually tough attitude from him.

It was a feeling of belonging to the same kind, yet being absolutely not the same species as oneself.

If it is simply something unfamiliar, humans may not feel fear. If it is actually a fellow human being, there is even less reason to panic.

But if this person is human in every way, with flesh and blood and a warm heart, yet once you get close, you feel that he is sharper than a fishhook piercing your fingernail, stronger than a hammer smashing the back of your head, and more suffocating than hundreds of layers of cotton blankets pressing on your face.

Therefore, it is inevitable to generate a kind of extremely simple yet persistent sense of fear.

What Guo Jing saw was only the profile of the White-Browed Taoist. The thunderous power in his palms dissipated by a large part under an inexplicable pressure.

He still wanted to throw the move, but his body was already involuntarily thrown back.

At this moment, the steps of the White-Browed Taoist in the void also slowed down slightly.

Because an incredibly thin golden dot was imprinted on his right eyeball.

Just as the monk Tanzong and Guo Jing made their move, Zhou Renjie also made his move.

He was also bald, but looked younger than the monk Tanzong. He stood further away and made the least noise when he made a move, but he was the most lethal.

That wasn't because he had the highest cultivation level, but because he possessed a divine weapon.

The Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron, the Ruyi Jingu Bang!

The Ruyi Jingu Bang in Zhou Renjie's hand was compressed to the extreme, so thin that it seemed to be just a thread made up of a single row of atoms.

However, the weight of 13,500 jin remained unchanged.

With a mass of 13,500 kilograms, piercing out at more than 99% the speed of light, and with a contact surface equivalent to the area of ​​a single atom, this level of impact force can even displace some small black holes, and its penetrating power is absolutely astonishing.

Faced with such an attack, most eight-star powerhouses would choose to use spacetime techniques to deal with or dodge it.

But the White-Browed Taoist used his eyeballs to withstand the stab.

The result was nothing more than a slight sting, causing his eyelids to twitch.

Zhou Renjie's hands trembled as if struck by a heavy blow. The divine needle instantly transformed back into the form of the Golden Cudgel. Due to the pain in his wrists, he couldn't hold it for a moment, and the end of the staff hit his lower abdomen, causing him to stagger back several steps.

"Well enough!"

The white-browed Taoist, who had only been focused on the cave, seemed to only then notice that there were others outside the cave, and turned around to look.

"He's barely qualified to fight me now."

He didn't stop, continuing into the cave, but with a flick of his sleeve, he cleaved a crack in the sky.

Soon, three figures descended from the crack.

The White-Browed Taoist hadn't paid any attention to the three monks, including Tanzong. In his eyes, even if he were to fight Alu, these three wouldn't be able to interfere at all.

However, after the three of them launched a coordinated attack, the White-Browed Taoist slightly changed his mind, acknowledging that the three of them could potentially influence the course of the battle.

What if the Demon King Bei really is in this cave? If these three join in when I fight Toriko, wouldn't that ruin everything?

So he summoned his men.

when!!!!

The hundred-foot-tall golden bell suddenly began to vibrate on its own.

Just as Bai Mei Dao Ren's men emerged from the crack, the Earth's magnetic field propelled the automatically rotating golden bell outwards. Accompanied by a violent shockwave, it resembled a towering pillar of light, about to knock the three men back into the crack and shatter it.

Among the three henchmen of the White-Browed Taoist, there was a burly, barbaric man wearing an animal skin skirt and with disheveled hair. As soon as the golden bell turned around, he suddenly drew his sword and slashed.

The knife and the golden bell collided violently.

The golden bell suddenly became inexplicably disordered, and the monk Tanzong immediately noticed the abnormality, unable to form the Vidyaraja mudra with his hands.

The golden bell shrank in size, enveloping his entire body, transforming him into an immovable king, twenty feet tall, with a robust physique.

The savage, burly man wielding the knife had also transformed back into his true form—a demon with a face on the front and another on the back of his head.

"So you can transform too! A transformation of light, hehehe, that's my favorite type!"

"You practice Buddhist sword techniques?"

The monk Tanzong exclaimed, "That strike just now came out of nowhere, disrupting my Golden Bell. Only the Immovable King, with his unwavering central intent, could suppress it. I wonder what kind of sword technique that was?"

"I'll tell you if I kill you!"

The blade flashed, and the giant demon's figure flickered in. The Immovable King, with four faces and four arms, stood on the mountain, displaying his unparalleled Buddhist martial arts skills, striking back against the blade's energy.

This Sukuna-ki was originally an ancient creature from the Ultraman world, standing 58 meters tall and weighing 48,000 tons.

Since becoming a reincarnator, he has worked with the White-Browed Taoist on several missions, where the White-Browed Taoist taught him a set of breaking-the-precepts sword techniques and often gave him pointers.

Breaking a precept means breaking the rules that govern people's lives, the constraints that bind people's minds and bodies.

Once this sword technique is mastered to a certain extent, one can break free from the physical body's shackles on the soul with each swing of the blade, wielding the sword with one's own soul, traversing thousands of miles in an instant, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

It can also sweep away the souls of all beasts and humans with a single sword strike, cultivating its own sword intent.

Sukuna once traveled to the world of Dungeons & Dragons, entered the Abyss Plane, slew countless evil creatures, and absorbed their souls to nourish himself.

Before he left that world, he even comprehended the highest realm of using swordsmanship to break through the chaotic laws of fate.

The "breaking the precepts knife" originates from Buddhism. The concepts of cause and effect, good and evil, physical body and wisdom are not the essence of Buddhist practice. The word "karma" is the most important.

The arising and ceasing of conditions lead to the rise and fall of the world, and the life and death of all living beings.

To regard fate as a precept, to draw the sword when fate arrives, and to sever fate and destroy the Dharma—this is clearly an ultimate interpretation of Buddhist swordsmanship.

The Golden Bell Cover technique of the monk Tanzong was created by mixing the martial arts theory of the unity of heaven and man from the ascetic practices of India with the martial arts theory of the unity of heaven and man from the Central Plains. Its roots were not pure, so it was naturally countered by the word "yuan" (缘, meaning affinity or predestined relationship) in the Buddhist tradition.

However, the Central Immovable King Dharma Body he is currently displaying is a martial arts Dharma Body that he comprehended on his own. It is extremely pure and can overcome the chaotic sword with the true intention of immovability. The two are evenly matched.

Dong Xuelian, another disciple of the White-Browed Taoist, was now facing off against Zhou Renjie.

After being struck by the White-Browed Taoist, Zhou Renjie's internal organs were damaged, and his foundation was weakened. For the time being, he could no longer compress or unleash the full potential of the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

Even with just one set of staff techniques, the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff) could still change its shape on its own. However, when faced with Dong Xuelian's Beast-like Jellyfish Fist, it gradually became overwhelmed.

However, Zhou Renjie was still worried about Guo Jing's situation.

Because he had discovered that the strongest of the three disciples of the White-Browed Taoist had approached Guo Jing.

"Little kid, do you remember when your gang got wiped out? We met there last time!"

Luo Sanpao, dressed as a pirate, was in no hurry to make a move, and even seemed to be having a casual conversation.

"You know, after I became this reincarnator of some bastard, I've seen countless guys pretending to be young, and I just killed most of them on the spot. Now that I finally have the chance, I want to ask them."

"Shouldn't people like you be considered perverts? You're clearly over 30, yet you insist on acting like little brats?"

Guo Jing remained unmoved by his words, simply saying, "Please enlighten me!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the martial artist, who looked like a young man, suddenly teleported and appeared in front of Luo Sanpao, throwing a punch at him.

Luo Sanpao casually drew his sword to block, the blade flashing horizontally and grazing Guo Jing's waist.

However, Guo Jing had already used teleportation again. It seemed that he hadn't gone too far, but rather used teleportation to change his posture, dodge the blade, and then throw another punch.

Each teleportation involves a different posture and angle, but the constant is the act of punching and attacking.

In the blink of an eye, Guo Jing's body had flashed tens of thousands of times, and it was impossible to count how many punches he had thrown or how many times he had dodged sword flashes.

Luo Sanpao casually retreated, his blade flashing as he intercepted his opponent's fists, all the while idly chatting.

"I noticed that last time, how come your teleportation always lands you in front of me?"

"Logically speaking, when you use teleportation in battle, it's most satisfying to move behind the enemy and throw a punch, hehe, but that's exactly what I admire about you."

"How about this, you wait until I capture you and bring you back, then we'll see if we can switch you to another side. If we win, you'll get a share of the prizes..."

At this point, Luo Sanpao's face hardened, and the knife in his hand seemed to exude a kind of power that could knead time and space and turn it into waves.

But before he could actually unleash this move, a sudden melody of a zither rang in his ears.

The sound of the zither is melodious and gentle, like the babbling of water.

Everyone's fighting spirit vanished instantly; no one could muster the will to fight.

At the end of the music, atop a high peak, Guan Luoyang sat cross-legged, his fingers plucking the strings, his gaze fixed on the deep, dark cave.

The reason he was able to arrive here just in time was that among the vague trajectories he had previously calculated, one of them suddenly reacted violently from a causal perspective.

This means that Ghost King Shell has been found.

One of the Four Mythical Beasts, the Ancient Cold Nether Sea Ghost King Shell, is located inside that cave!

However, when the distance became this close, Guan Luoyang also noticed something subtle.

According to Toriko, the Demon King Shell was the least dangerous of the four strange beasts he encountered.

But now... Ghost King Bei's aura seems to have swallowed up the auras of everyone else in the cave!
