A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 594 An Unsuccessful Start: The Eight Legions, with the Crescent Moon Heavenly Eye Seeing Sanzang

Rumble!!!

The violent tremor spread from the foot of a black mountain, but it was neutralized by a red halo before it could travel any further, less than a hundred miles away.

Tie Feihua hovered high in the sky, holding a black ancient sword that she had half-drawn out.

This sword has an antique feel, with a guard resembling a small tripod and a hilt like a bamboo joint, adorned with an apricot-yellow tassel.

The scabbard is carved with a soaring serpent and a dragon-turtle. When the sword is drawn a foot out of the scabbard, you can see that the pale silver blade is engraved with many constellation patterns, accompanied by numerological annotations.

As soon as the sword was drawn, the red aura on the ground rapidly contracted.

The four severely injured [Chaos Tide] reincarnators were instantly gathered into four large, red, horned stars by the red light, trailing blood-red tails. They rose from the ground, disappeared into the sword, and vanished.

"These four guys are really troublesome; they can actually combine and transform into those giant mechs."

Tie Feihua landed and said, "Fortunately, Shao Bai saw through their weakness, and Uncle Wang's dragon spear pierced through them, causing them to disintegrate. Otherwise, they might have really escaped."

Wang Zhaoxing walked over with a gun. He was not tall and looked to be around fifty years old, but his overall demeanor was one of profound wisdom that one could only possess after experiencing the trials and tribulations of life.

"Feihua, your sword has already suppressed nine seven-star reincarnations. Although they were all severely injured by us, the burden must be considerable, right?"

The magic sword in Tie Feihua's hand is the Heavenly Gang Magic Sword bestowed upon her by the True Martial Emperor in the world of "Erlang Shen Drunkenly Shoots the Demon-Locking Mirror".

If this were within that world, this sword could connect with the magical power of the thirty-six Heavenly Stars at any time, summoning the true forms of the thirty-six Heavenly Officials and Generals; it was a genuine eight-star magic weapon.

After leaving that world, the magic sword lost some of its special features, but its quality remained intact.

This trio later traveled to the world of League of Legends, where they intervened in the local situation during a confrontation with another team of reincarnators, taking over the stolen divine power channels of Aurelion Sol.

After pooling their wisdom and efforts, and thoroughly analyzing the secrets of star forging with the heroes, and combining them with the star official secrets of classical immortalism, the magic sword was reforged, resulting in the sword we see today, a top-grade treasure even among eight-star magic weapons.

"fine."

After sensing the situation, Tie Feihua concluded, "Even if another seven-star level were to be suppressed inside, it would be more than enough."

Wang Zhaoxing pondered, "Since we can only suppress one more, let's leave this slot open and leave some room for maneuver, so that you won't be afraid to use the power of this magic sword too much when you fight others later."

Tie Feihua also thought it made sense.

With the strength of their three-person team, they couldn't completely kill a seven-star in a short time. Now, suppressing them into the magic sword, these already severely injured seven-stars would have limited strength to struggle, and the magic sword would slowly draw their power to nourish the sword master.

However, if the number of suppressed opponents is brought to the brink of its limit, when encountering enemies again, drawing a sword to block them might allow those inside to find an opportunity to escape during the internal and external struggle.

"Then our focus should remain on investigating the strange beasts, and also on tracing the traces of the three's great battle to see if anything unexpected has happened."

Li Shaobai was a young man in his early twenties dressed in ancient costume, wearing a brownish-red cloth robe, with slightly messy sideburns and a bit of stubble. He held a bamboo hat in his hand and said, "If you have the chance to find out what kind of restrictions were placed on that White-Browed Taoist, please tell the experts here. That would be a great help to us."

Tie Feihua asked curiously, "By the way, those four Reincarnators just now, did you notice what kind of extra restrictions the competition imposed on them?"

"The identities they were assigned were as leaders of martial arts sects in Japan who were subordinate to the Wushen Jue Palace. The restriction attached was that if the leader of the Wushen Jue Palace was defeated and suppressed, then they would all be suppressed as well."

Li Shaobai shook his head. "It feels similar to being a branch leader of the Tianxia Society, just like the three of us were assigned to."

Tie Feihua frowned slightly: "Are all the restrictions assigned to seven-star characters conditions that are completely unusable in direct combat?"

Wang Zhaoxing said, "Logically speaking, since the Half-God and the Great Emperor of Life Protection supervise each other, these restrictions should be issued randomly..."

Li Shaobai smiled and put on his bamboo hat: "A nine-star expert's every move can deflect the fate of heaven. Even if it is an unintentional, random result for them, we may not be able to regard it as randomness."

With her sword slung over her back, Tie Feihua clapped her hands and said, "This may not be a bad thing. At least this way, we won't have to worry about being too restricted."

"Moreover, the person assigned to the position of the Grand Master of the World Society on our side is Old Master Yan. He is very powerful and stays in the vicinity of the territory, which is a strong guarantee for us branch leaders."

As the team continued to talk, they continued to follow the traces left by the great battle between Guan Luoyang and his two companions.

In terms of pure speed, the Seven Stars' reincarnators certainly couldn't catch up with Guan Luoyang and his group. However, because Guan Luoyang and his group were in the midst of a fierce battle, they might linger in one place for a longer period of time, which gave these reincarnators who were tracking their trail a chance.

What's even more remarkable is that Guan Luoyang and the other two maintained a long-term balance of power.

Therefore, regardless of which faction's seven-star reincarnator approaches, the danger is not too great.

This means that these seven-star reincarnators can stand at a certain distance and observe the scene of eight-star powerhouses fighting with all their might. This might be quite beneficial to their own cultivation.

Those who reincarnate with this mindset are naturally wary while traveling. They sense each other from a distance and do not bother to distinguish which side is on the other side, but simply avoid each other.

However, some people, relying on their superior hiding methods and daring skills, take the opportunity to attack the reincarnators of the opposing camp.

It's important to know that after this competition ends, the cause and effect will be investigated, and prizes will be distributed to all the winners. How much treasure each person can obtain is directly related to their contribution during the competition.

"Heh, what a cycle of cause and effect."

As they approached a majestic mountain range with its sloping peaks and scattered stone pillars, Li Shaobai suddenly chuckled softly twice.

"We were the ones who ambushed others just now, and now it's our competitors who are about to ambush us."

Tie Feihua and Wang Zhaoxing had a deep understanding with him and immediately realized which direction he was wary of.

At that very moment, a golden pattern erupted from the majestic mountain range—a massive mandala array—expanding rapidly.

Wherever the array passed, the surrounding mountains suddenly changed shape, as if a bubble had been punctured, revealing the true terrain below.

The shorter peaks, only a hundred or a thousand feet high, are depicted as monks and Vajras, while those nearly ten thousand feet high are transformed into various statues of Asuras, Yakshas, ​​and Devas, each vividly portrayed, holding their own magical implements, and displaying divine might and wrath.

It turns out that this mountain range had already been completely transformed in accordance with this mandala array. Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, there are huge statues of the Eight Legions everywhere. The previous chaotic image of the mountains was just an illusion created in accordance with the traces of the old earth veins.

From these statues, clusters of light danced, enveloping sacred objects such as vajras, lotus staffs, demon-subduing chains, tridents, wish-fulfilling jewels, ringing staffs, sutra wheels, and solemn jade bells.

Li Shaobai lifted his bamboo hat, and his originally healthy, wheat-colored skin suddenly turned into a heavy black. His facial features remained unchanged, but the black was faintly tinged with red, exuding a dignified and majestic aura. A crescent-shaped mark was also prominently displayed on his forehead.

The beam of light emanating from the crescent moon mark was pale and cold, seemingly purer than the silver moonlight in the sky and deeper than the dark background of outer space.

The mandala array, encompassing a vast area, was within this region, where increasingly loud chanting echoed repeatedly.

However, when illuminated by the cold light of the crescent moon, the chanting of sutras, the sounds of Dharma drums and conch shells immediately weakened, bringing clarity to people's senses.

The speed at which those magical artifacts flew around slowed down, and then the spear in Wang Zhaoxing's hand transformed into a crimson dragon, winding its way out.

In the world of "Erlang Shen's Drunken Shot at the Demon-Locking Mirror," Wang Zhaoxing and his two companions fought against the demon army and accomplished many great deeds. However, their most astonishing feat was not their service to the Erlang Shen surnamed Zhao, but rather the slaying of the Qiantang Dragon King, who had stirred up natural disasters, acted recklessly, and incurred the wrath of countless people.

It was for this reason that the True Martial Emperor bestowed the Heavenly Gang Sword and personally took action to melt the dragon soul of the Qiantang Dragon Lord, along with the Dragon Lord divine position conferred by the Heavenly Court, into Wang Zhaoxing's spear, so that none of the dragon gods in the world dared to object.

Although this spear did not have the same good opportunity as the Heavenly Gang Magic Sword to be reforged into a superior sword that could maintain the power of an eight-star magic weapon in any world, in terms of the divine intent contained within it, it is still one of the best among the seven-star divine weapons.

Wang Zhaoxing's spear technique was even more divine, perfectly complementing the Crimson Dragon Divine Spear. The long dragon meandered and swept across the sky, and all the light orbs and magical artifacts that touched the dragon's body failed to unleash their due power.

The thin layer of white light clung to the dragon scales. Before any of the magical artifacts inside could be unleashed, they transformed into numerous meteors as the red dragon coiled and swooped down, bombarding the interior of the formation.

Eight figures emerged from the mandala array, each chanting incantations and raising their hands to unleash divine power, stabilizing the magical artifacts. They were all somewhat astonished.

Within this mountain range, the auras left behind by Luoyang and the White-Browed Taoist were mixed together, yet mutually restraining each other.

After Asura King and the others set up this grand formation in advance, they borrowed the aura of Guan Luoyang and his group, containing it within these light sphere formations, preparing to blast away any passing enemy reincarnators in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, their business had barely opened when they encountered a formidable opponent who could see through the mysteries of the formation and even temporarily suppress it.

"Kill that woman first!"

With a loud shout, the Asura King rapidly spun the vajra, which was only about a foot long, in his right hand, turning it into golden light. His right arm then swung into a wheel of light, unleashing a dazzling fist force like a lion's roar into the sky, which then dissipated into nothingness.

Millions of orbs of light in the sky were propelled by the invisible force of his Asura Demon Breaking Fist, and were forced to collide with the Crimson Dragon.

The red dragon suddenly lost its physical form, transforming into a raging wave of fire that spread through the air, circling around the rapidly approaching orbs of light.

Originally, there were women among the eight inheritors of the divine armor in "Tenkuu Senki Shurato", but all eight reincarnators who possessed the divine armor were male.

In their early years of cultivation, they always believed that women were flawed and lowly, and that even if they wanted to cultivate, they had to do everything they could to be reborn as men in order to have a chance.

Although they have suffered a lot because of this concept after becoming reincarnators, they have become more restrained.

However, among the three of them, Li Shaobai and Tie Feihua's aura appears to be the weakest right now.

Without hesitation, the Asura King gave the order, and the other six people, led by the Heavenly King, attacked Li Shaobai at the same time, while the Yaksha King's figure had already disappeared.

As Wang Zhaoxing fought against the Asura King, the Crimson Dragon Fire stirred up millions of light spheres, creating a scene of intense light explosions throughout the sky.

The Yaksha King's figure suddenly disappeared in a certain spot under the dim light, and then reappeared high up at the same time as a bright light suddenly appeared. His sword was like a ray of light as he rushed towards Tie Feihua.

Tie Feihua turned slightly to the side, leaned her right shoulder forward, and slapped the scabbard behind her back, causing the blade to spring out three inches.

The sword sang with incredible speed, its dazzling brilliance captivating the eye. A single crimson starlight on the blade transformed into countless streams of light, piercing through the void of time and space, twisting and turning as it pleased, flanking back and forth.

The sword in the Yaksha King's hand, just halfway there, seemed to be struck from different angles by thousands of red threads, the resounding and clanging sounds echoing in his heart.

As he contemplated resignation, numerous sword marks appeared on his divine armor. In the sky, on the ground, and even in a stretch of time and space between the past and the future, there were arc-shaped red lines of sword light everywhere, following the arc of time and space, concentrating to pierce and kill him.

The Yaksha King's cold expression twisted slightly. It was true that his opponent possessed a divine sword, but the sword's power was concealed. The reason the fight had ended in this state was entirely due to the overwhelming superiority of the Yaksha King's swordsmanship.

How could this woman, who doesn't seem to possess much of the aloofness of a swordsman, be worthy of such swordsmanship?

Shocked, the Yaksha King was enraged. The longsword in his hand shattered into a pure divine power, which, along with the divine armor on his body, was also enveloped by his own cultivation and fluctuated violently.

Amidst the howling of wolves, the Divine Might Sword surged skyward, its massive pillar sweeping across the air and shattering the flying crimson sword light.

The Yaksha King's figure exploded in a wave of fire and retreated back into the righteous path, but a sword hole appeared in his chest, from which blood gushed out.

"Asura..." the Yaksha King roared, his hands suddenly forming a hand seal, "Summon the Master!"

The Asura King was taken aback. Although the three opponents were unexpectedly difficult to deal with, his side had eight people working together. Although the sneak attack failed, as long as they adapted, they still had a good chance of winning.

If I were to summon a guru for something I can handle myself, the consequences might be...

However, the Yaksha King had already formed the hand seals, which resonated strongly with the others, who then followed suit and formed their own hand seals as well.

If the Asura King insisted on continuing, he feared he would miss the opportunity, so he had no choice but to form a hand seal.

Without the eight of them in charge, the Mandala Formation was quickly breached from the outside, and the huge Mandala pattern on the ground dimmed.

Tie Feihua and the others simultaneously sensed an immense pressure.

A figure emerged from the center of the circle formed by the eight people, including the Asura King.

The environment of the Gourmet Continent is unique. Even an eight-star powerhouse would be affected by many distorted spacetime effects when active here, making it difficult to achieve the speed of a normal universe.

Even if one were to temporarily cut open the cosmic membrane, jump out of the universe, and then jump back, it would be difficult to guarantee that one could be teleported to the exact location on this continent.

However, the cultivation of the eight people, including the Asura King, is special. They are of the same lineage as their guru, like the guru's shadow. Wherever they are, no matter where they are, as long as they are summoned, the guru can arrive directly.

The Guru—Ryuji Tripitaka, came here from the territory of the Chaos Tide, and looked up with delight.

"Good, as expected of my outstanding disciple, you have found the special talent in the enemy camp who can find people's flaws so quickly."

He stared at the crescent-shaped mark on Li Shaobai's forehead, and his figure suddenly blurred.

Even with Li Shaobai's crescent-shaped mark, he couldn't see any clues about the other party's actions. Tie Feihua's magic sword automatically unsheathed from its back, but he already knew it was too late.

Fortunately, the next moment...

A long rainbow sword was placed against Li Shaobai's neck, blocking Liuzhi Sanzang's palm.

Li Shaobai is a martial arts character from a feudal dynasty. He is a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple and is renowned in the martial arts world for his detective skills.

After becoming a reincarnator, he cultivated the five senses and six supernatural powers of Buddhism, making rapid progress. Later, in the world of "The Case of the Dragon Diagram", his three-person team assisted Bao Zheng in solving cases. They encountered Bao Zheng being harmed by a reincarnator and dreaming of going to the underworld in advance. He then gave a strand of the crescent moon mark on his forehead to Li Shaobai.

Bao Zheng's celestial soul was the reincarnation of the primordial spirit of the Heavenly Star Lord Wenqu. After a person dies, Wenqu returns to heaven, while his earthly soul and human soul do not enter the cycle of reincarnation but reside in the underworld, accumulating merit to become the fifth Yama King among the Ten Kings of Hell.

Although Bao Zheng's physical body was almost dead when he dreamt of visiting the underworld, he still had a chance to be resurrected because his lifespan did not match the number set in the Book of Life and Death. Therefore, all three of his souls remained.

After obtaining this crescent moon mark, Li Shaobai suddenly gained considerable expertise in the paths of celestial officials and underworld deities. Combined with his original Buddhist cultivation, this caused a mutation in the "Heavenly Eye" among the six supernatural powers of Buddhism, far surpassing the other supernatural powers.

While his supernatural abilities already have many uses in normal times, the achievements he can make in this competition, which is subject to various restrictions, may far exceed the effects under normal circumstances.

Therefore, Dufa and the others had been paying attention to him for a long time. Dufa specially gave Li Shaobai the crystal treasure on his Seven Treasures Kasaya.

Rainbow Cat secretly led a group to guard the area, waiting to lure out the opponent's eight-star expert and test whether Li Shaobai could see through the limitations on the opponent's eight-star character when he used the crystal treasure to unleash his Heavenly Eye!

Just as the Long Rainbow Sword blocked Liu Zhi Sanzang's palm, Li Shaobai, holding the Crystal Treasure, finally managed to focus his gaze on Liu Zhi Sanzang.
