A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 605 A Gathering of Heroes in Shallow Waters

Possessed by demons, possessed by demons, possessed by demons!!

When Dongfang Wuyou's sword finger pierced towards Yan Kuangtu, Yan Kuangtu's vision could still see beyond the immediate crisis and into the uncontrollable, frenzied blue-white flames on Lu Nanxing's body in the distance.

To go from being controllable to being out of control is to fall into demonic possession; to go from having a firm stance to having no stance is also to fall into demonic possession.

For ordinary people, losing control leads to self-harm and even death. However, for the strong, it takes a long time to reach a point of true collapse after losing control. In the short term, they may actually unleash even greater destructive power due to losing control.

Lu Nanxing lost control within the territory of the "Most Fierce and Mad" and naturally wreaked havoc in the vicinity, impacting the territory's grand formation controlled by Du Fa and others.

If the demonic state were caused by ordinary reasons, Du Fa's Buddhist knowledge and the Vulture Robe might still have a chance to awaken the other party. However, Lu Nanxing's demonic state is a limitation imposed by the competition rules, and its root cause is the power provided by the two nine-star powerhouses.

Let alone the Dharma Transmission, even if all the people from the two major camps present were combined, how could they possibly overpower the power emanating from those two nine-star experts?

As blue and white flames swirled and shot into the sky from Lu Nanxing's body, a series of sounds, like chains snapping, emanated from her.

She had said that if her divine sword broke, she might fall into a demonic state, so everyone made many preparations for her, including countless supernatural abilities such as sensing her mind, restricting her movements, shifting her location, and suppressing her mind.

However, everyone is currently facing a formidable enemy and has no time to provide follow-up support. With just these supernatural imprints, they simply cannot withstand the power unleashed by Lu Nanxing.

Those meager supernatural powers were destroyed in an instant. Even the auras of the Asura Red Umbrella and the Spirit Vulture Kasaya could not withstand the continuous explosion of blue and white flames.

Only the crimson-gold lotus mark left by Guan Luoyang bloomed three feet above Lu Nanxing's head, barely forming a temporary restraint.

boom!!!

Yan Kuangtu was struck in the chest by a finger, and streaks of blood-red sword energy burst forth from his body behind him, simultaneously striking Dongfang Wuyou with a hammer.

The two figures retreated.

Dongfang Wuyou was too fast and had already retreated in advance. The injury caused by that hammer was negligible. His body swayed slightly in the air before he landed back on the head of the Cosmic Taipan Serpent. With a stomp, he was about to destroy the original array restrictions within the Cosmic Taipan Serpent's body.

But just as his toes were about to touch the giant snake's head scales, his expression changed slightly, and his pupils, which were fixed on Yan Kuangtu, suddenly contracted.

Yan Kuangtu was knocked back a great distance by Dongfang Wuyou's attack, but the damage was far from fatal, let alone enough to make him lose his grip on the Wrathful Dark Hammer.

But now, the Hammer of Wrath was thrown high into the air, spinning and emitting waves of amplification.

The hammer was clearly still under Yan Kuangtu's control, but he didn't have a spare hand to hold it.

This old fellow, who was always arrogant, now had his white hair and beard flowing down, and his body naturally exuded an extremely solemn demeanor. He actually had to use both palms and ten fingers to form a hand seal, just like an ordinary person.

Beneath the Zhongli Divine Tree in the void and chaos.

The half-god turned his head and stared at the seal with a strange expression. Even the Emperor Baosheng was moved and his eyes showed admiration.

Both of them were newcomers, so even for them, it could be said that this was the first time they had ever truly seen this hand seal.

Back then, Yan Kuangtu once encountered a pair of chivalrous lovers in a mission world.

The man said he had some kind of connection with Yan Kuangtu and taught him a hand seal technique.

That move is called the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Hand Seal.

When Yan Kuangtu reached the five-star level, he felt that this seal technique was indeed exquisite, but he was only one point away from fully comprehending it.

When he reached the six-star level, he felt that although this seal technique was profound, he was only one step away from mastering it.

When he broke through to the seven-star level, he realized that this seal technique was unfathomable and that he might not be able to truly grasp its essence until he reached the eight-star level.

Now that he is an eight-star reincarnator, he discovered that the hand seal seemed to encompass all the great principles of the myriad realms and elucidate the mysteries of the infinite things in the Great Void Sea.

It's simply not something an eight-star reincarnator could possibly comprehend.

He didn't know what level the person he had met had reached.

Furthermore, when Yan Kuangtu uses this seal technique at the eight-star level, it creates a feeling of directly contacting the root of the Great Dao of Myriad Realms, as if he is about to be assimilated.

The most ferocious and madman, the deputy leader of the Star Seat, once reminded him that this was the tribulation of the transformation of the heavens, and that the seal technique should never be used too often when he was at the eight-star level.

However, when Yan Kuangtu used this seal technique, its power was beyond reason.

Back then, he didn't have a nine-star divine artifact by his side, and his cultivation was only at the high level of the eight-star level. He simply relied on this hand seal technique to fight against Dongfang Wuyou, who was at the peak of the eight-star level and was holding the Haotian Mirror, and he actually did not lose the battle.

Now that he is risking this move again, and with the Dark Hammer of Wrath amplifying it from the side, the power of his attack is truly immeasurable.

The entire culinary universe was enveloped in a soothing and melodious rhythm. Inside and outside the universe, countless lights and shadows, like knives, swords, dragons, and tigers, seemed to leap out of thin air, roaming freely and playing joyfully.

As these lights and shadows become more numerous and larger, a profound texture emanates from them, and they materialize, like black metal.

The longsword is like a bridge, the curved saber like a knock, the soft sword like an opening, the broadsword like a closing, the dragon coils like a gear, and the tiger leaps as its energy source…

Countless seemingly identical swords and countless seemingly skillful yet clumsy creatures are all cleverly combined and linked together, vaguely forming a vast sky that spans the universe.

Emperor Baosheng praised, "I wonder what kind of person could have created this hand seal technique. It actually allows someone at the eighth-level realm to materialize the universe's Dao..."

Altering the constants of the Heavenly Dao in certain areas is something that a seven-star level being could do, but that would only be using one's own power to add or delete rules in the ethereal realm.

However, to materialize the Heavenly Dao is something that even a normal eight-star could never do, let alone a seven-star.

Once the cosmic Dao takes physical form, like this canopy of myriad beasts and swords, any change in even the smallest component will no longer have a localized impact, but will affect the entire universe.

During the period of the seal, even those below the seven-star level had the opportunity to directly touch and interfere with the Heavenly Dao, completely breaking the norm in the cultivation system of all realms.

The moment Dongfang Wuyou saw this seal, he hastily retreated, and all nine Haotian Mirrors returned to his side.

Lin Touhua, Hongmao, and the others, upon seeing the sky screen formed by the inlaid swords and blades of ten thousand beasts, all changed their expressions. They did not dare to try to intercept the Haotian Mirror, but instead quickly retreated.

"Dongfang Wuyou, you want to kill me, but you dare not face this attack of mine head-on?!"

Once Yan Kuangtu's hand seal was complete, the enormous gear formed by a black dragon coiled around its body on the vast, boundless sky suddenly slowed its rotation for a moment.

In an instant, the entire sky trembled violently, and countless components collapsed at the same time.

The Hammer of Wrath trembled violently, and an invisible force descended from the sky.

As the road became increasingly difficult, a dark canyon suddenly split open beneath his feet, blasting him directly into it. He was detached from this universe and sent hurtling far into the Chaotic Sea.

The taipan serpent was slammed to the ground, and all the formations within its body were forcibly pierced by an immense force. However, the damaged formations were not destroyed. Instead, under the operation of this wondrous power, they were completely connected into one. The net of heaven is vast and its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it. The power of the cosmic taipan serpent was completely brought into a new guiding state.

Because Dongfang Wuyou retreated too quickly, the invisible force of the collapsing sky rushed towards him, but instead of attacking, it followed him at an angle.

"The laws of Heaven, the nine suns shine together!"

The Haotian Mirror hovered in mid-air, and the Nine Yang Palm pressed down on the back of the mirror, enduring the blow head-on.

The moment the two unparalleled divine powers came into contact, the earth cracked, dust surged into the sky, rivers were thrown into chaos, and mountains took flight.

That invisible force seemed endless. The further Dongfang Wuyou retreated, the more mountains around him crumbled off the ground and flew away, causing mud and sand to swirl and the earth to sink, forming an ever-deepening long canyon landscape.

When Yan Kuangtu unleashed this hand seal technique, it made the road to exile difficult, suppressed the Taipan Serpent, and even continued to repel Dongfang Wuyou. Its power surged to the extreme, sweeping across the entire scene and shocking everyone.

Amidst the indescribable roar and tremors, and the chaotic scene, Dongfang Wuyou's figure slid backward, yet he still managed to hold the Haotian Mirror with only his right palm, while his free left hand reached out to grab to the side.

Demon King Barn was fighting Toriko when, as if sensing something, he thrust the Phoenix Staff to the side, and a ball of light and shadow appeared on the staff's head, which was just caught by Dongfang Wuyou's hand that came flying through the air.

"That is..."

The moment Toriko saw the ball of light, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he shouted, "Don't attack!!"

Even if his reminder was transmitted using the mental power to distort time, it was still too late.

Dongfang Wuyou grabbed a ball of light and shadow with his left hand and placed it behind his waist. Suddenly, he moved the Haotian Mirror away, gave up resisting, and let the invisible force shatter his body, as well as the ball of light and shadow that should have been behind him.

"cry!!!"

After the mournful cry, the messy feathers in the ball of light and shadow were completely shattered, and every bit of spiritual energy was destroyed.

An ominous premonition rose in Yan Kuangtu's heart.

Thunder roared in the sky, lightning flashed and clouds surged, and a deep sense of sorrow simultaneously emerged in every corner of the Gourmet Continent.

In the native cities of the Food Continent, a food festival was being held, bustling with activity. Suddenly, everyone stopped in their tracks. From the elderly to the babies in their cradles, tears inexplicably streamed down their faces.

From those jungles teeming with delicious food and wild beasts, rarely visited by humans, came a chorus of mournful cries; even the rocks with facial features seemed to weep uncontrollably.

Dewdrops like tears and wine dripped from the fruit trees, and cold tea, weeping on the grass, flowed into streams.

The countless floating continents in the atmosphere suddenly began to emit a muffled rumble, sinking much deeper, and the boundless atmosphere became much more impurity-filled.

Millions of high-altitude creatures, unable to adapt to such an environment, crashed and perished on these continents.

Some of the sparse stars in the sky went out one after another.

Blood rained down from the sky, covering the entire continent.

"This is……"

Guan Luoyang temporarily repelled the White-Browed Taoist with a counterattack, his brows furrowed, and a faint sound of Pangu's axe could be heard from his sleeve.

The Pangu Axe is extremely sensitive to the cosmic membrane and the vast spacetime. It can now sense that the entire cosmic membrane has shrunk by a large margin at an abnormal speed, causing the volume of the entire cosmic spacetime to narrow considerably.

Guan Luoyang said in a low voice, "It's the dream of billions of birds!"

The Ghost King Shell represents the concept of cosmic evolution, while the Taipan Snake represents the trend of the end of the universe.

Guan Luoyang and his group had previously speculated about what the Star Bridge Pegasus and the Dreamland Billion Birds represented.

It's hard to say about the Star Bridge Pegasus, but the billions of birds in the dream could represent the creator, symbolizing the concept of the creation of the universe.

Because the Dream Birds have very special habits and an extraordinary ability to reproduce.

Long before the Gourmet Universe was a starry sea, billions of dream birds would roam the cosmos, constantly scattering luminous powder along the way.

This glowing powder is actually the offspring of billions of birds in the dream world. Each speck of powder is one of its offspring, but its offspring are not birds; they are more like a mushroom-like creature.

When these powders fall on barren planets, they transform them into environments with culinary plants. When they fall on planets that have already given rise to life, they bestow upon the creatures on those planets a dream filled with delicious food.

All the offspring of the billions of birds in the dream world will only grow in the dream world, making the consciousness of these dream owners more active and giving them more appetite and creativity.

As this universe begins its final journey, the billions of dream birds that have been active for so long have, it can be said, sprinkled those glimmering powders into the dreams of all the original inhabitants of this universe.

The term "aboriginal people" here even includes all plants and insects.

When billions of birds in the dream world die, the appetite and vitality of all living beings will decline, the creativity of thought will be affected, and the entire universe will shrink prematurely as a result.

For the already aging culinary universe, such an impact is tantamount to it taking a giant leap, stepping one foot into its coffin.

"Cough, cough cough cough!!"

Yan Kuangtu coughed, and clumps of hair fell out of his forehead, becoming dry and dull. Much of his beard also fell out, and his skin became loose. What he coughed up was black ash.

He raised his hand and noticed many age spots on it, and felt an extreme sense of fatigue.

Killing billions of birds in the dream world caused the universe to shrink prematurely, which wouldn't normally have had a significant impact on the person who did it.

But just now, Yan Kuangtu was using the Xuan Tian Yu Dao Hand Seal to make close contact with the entire universe's Heavenly Dao, even to the point of near-fusion with the Dao.

The accelerated decay of the universe caused by the death of billions of birds in the dream immediately reflected back onto Yan Kuangtu.

"So... you deliberately wanted me to use this move!!"

They captured the billions of birds in the dream world and worked together to wear them down to their limit, all in order to deal with Yan Kuangtu's seal.

Yan Kuangtu could clearly feel his power declining and his physical condition deteriorating. Although he had not yet reached the Dao Transformation stage, his Dao Essence was filled with signs of decay, and his strength had even declined to the point where he could hardly maintain the level of the initial stage of the eighth star.

Name: Yan Kuangtu.

Matched identity: Grand Leader of the World Society.

Special trait: A golden carp is no ordinary fish; it will transform into a dragon once it encounters wind and clouds.

A dragon's roar echoes through the heavens, shaking the very foundations of the world; a confluence of winds and clouds brings life to shallow waters!

"I've already said it, this time the target is you, old man!!"

In an instant, Dongfang Wuyou's figure reappeared.

The impact of his body being shattered once, although he cannot fully recover for the time being, can only be considered a minor injury, and it does not affect his ability to continue to unleash his full power.

With the power of the Eight-Star Peak Realm and the might of the Haotian Mirror, he attacked the extremely weakened Yan Kuangtu.
