A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 607 A Hundred Billion Star River, Invincible

The hand that Guan Luoyang stretched out seemed to cover the entire sky of the Gourmet Continent in an instant.

Seven-star and eight-star powerhouses no longer rely on simple optical reactions to observe the world. Even when they are on this vast and boundless continent of delicacies, they can penetrate the atmosphere at any time and observe the background of the universe.

But now, the entire universe has been replaced by that hand.

Compared to the sparse starry space environment of the Gourmet Universe, Guan Luoyang's outstretched hand far surpasses the entire space environment in terms of energy and mass.

"Walk!!"

The Haotian Mirror spun in mid-air, and nine figures of Dongfang Wuyou appeared in the corners of the mirror, while a smaller version of the Haotian Mirror was in the center.

The smaller version of the Haotian Mirror has the same layout inside, with an even smaller Haotian Mirror in the center and nine smaller versions of Dongfang Wuyou in the corners.

A mirror within a mirror, a person within a mirror, a series of interconnected events, endlessly.

No one can count how many smaller mirrors are inside this mirror, or how many new Dongfang Wuyou have been created!

"Let's walk together!!!"

Just as Dongfang Wuyou's resolute shout came from inside the mirror, the surface of the Haotian Mirror seemed to explode as if millions of suns were erupting simultaneously, spraying out countless images of Dongfang Wuyou.

Every time Dongfang Wuyou leaves the mirror, her body rapidly expands, burns, circulates her energy, and unleashes her attacks!

Once they reached a certain altitude, all the flesh and blood had burned to ashes, leaving only complete skeletons wreathed in crimson flames. They formed a fist imprint as bright as the midday sun and swung it towards the sky with a thunderous roar.

Since Dongfang Wuyou reached the eighth-level realm, his moves have always been based on the Nine Yang Transformation of the Heavens, using the Heavens to create myriad scenes. But now, he has to return to the original Nine Yang style.

Nine is the ultimate number. The so-called Nine Yang refers to the Yang energy that can multiply infinitely and is of enormous quantity, exceeding the conventional meaning. It is the Burning Heaven True Qi that wins purely through quantity.

Endless flames spread, and trillions of fiery skeletons seemed to be using their fists to support the dark and heavy sky.

However, everyone in both camps knows very well that against Guan Luoyang in his current state, such tactics are nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot, merely an attempt to buy time for the people of the Chaos Tide to regroup and retreat together.

As expected, the scene of trillions of skulls rising into the air was extinguished the moment the palm pressed down slightly.

Although Tianwang and the others heard Dongfang Wuyou's message, they also knew that under these circumstances, the probability of successfully evacuating was greatest if everyone gathered in the same direction to retreat.

The problem is, Skynet and its team face more than just the immense pressure from above...

Wars between different factions are never about fighting for victory. Even though this war is now called a martial arts tournament, no one treats these events as a simple competition.

Therefore, no matter how much stronger Guan Luoyang has become, Hai Donglai and the others have no reason to back down and leave Guan Luoyang to fight the entire enemy force alone.

Skynet and its team are in a situation where they want to withdraw but simply cannot.

Moreover, the speed at which that hand slammed down far exceeded expectations; in the next instant, it had already struck the ground.

Hai Donglai and the others felt a heavy layer of dark matter sweep down from above and press down on the ground, but they were not harmed.

Although Tianwang and his team felt that the surrounding spacetime had become more than ten thousand times more stable, greatly increasing the resistance to their actions, they were not injured as a result.

"Oh no, this palm strike isn't aimed at us. After taking over the earth vein energy of the Gourmet Continent, this guy can still manipulate it precisely. Instead of launching a wide-range attack, he's targeting our weaknesses and beating us up."

Tang Suiyun's mind raced, and she immediately looked at Dongfang Wuyou.

However, the Haotian Mirror remained suspended in the air, and Dongfang Wuyou was not the primary target of this palm strike.

"Why is it me again?!"

Having just recovered, Demon King Barn is once again facing a catastrophe.

Even the move Guan Luoyang used this time was the same as the one he used to strike him before.

The difference is that the palm universe that Guan Luoyang created before was empty.

Now, the sky that appears utterly dark to others is, in the eyes of the Demon King Barn, a river of billions of stars.

Under the illumination of countless stars, the things at the top of the Milky Way were no longer dark, but showed patterns like the inverted arrangement of countless mountains.

Those were the skin texture of Guan Luoyang's right palm, and even the fingertips, segment by segment, were revealed in the starlight.

A trillion galaxies in the palm of your hand!

Those billions of stars, each forming a swirling, dazzling cluster of light, emanated force fields that simultaneously acted upon the body of Demon King Barn.

Even the true form of an eight-star high-level expert, when faced with such power, is like a thin black shadow illuminated by a flickering candle flame, undergoing countless chaotic and violent deformations as the light sways.

In the blink of an eye, Demon King Barn's body was torn apart like a thin black veil.

The Phoenix Staff, which he had been holding in his right hand, began to spin in place. The eternally burning Phoenix Flame on the staff's head began to flicker and emit a sharp cry under the stimulation of this rotation.

Eight-star powerhouses generally cannot entrust their original imprint to a nine-star artifact; they can only leave a partial conceptual imprint inside the artifact.

However, the Phoenix Staff has a unique feature: at the top of the staff, there is a ball of immortal fire.

The Demon King Barn could not entrust his original mark to the inside of the staff, but he could store his mark in the Undying Flame and let it be nurtured for a long time.

If it were the original Guan Luoyang, even if he could break through the true form of Demon King Barn, he would probably have difficulty overcoming the barrier of that undying flame, giving Demon King Barn a great chance to escape.

But now, Guan Luoyang doesn't even care about the existence of this flame.

After striking the Demon King Barn with a palm, he then reached down and grabbed with his hand.

The galaxy dimmed instantly, and all the stars, including the Phoenix Staff, were gathered into his fist. With a flick of his wrist, he smashed it down on the Heavenly Net.

The Heavenly Net's entanglement with the "Eternal Civilization" and the "Vulture Robe" of the Dharma Transcending Sect is a situation where they are evenly matched.

Even though he knew that Guan Luoyang's punch was coming, his figure was flashing rapidly, but he still didn't have time to escape from the space-time that was being violently affected.

Tang Suiyun was closest to the Heavenly Net, and the Bat Blade was an extremely powerful weapon, even superior to the Shura Red Umbrella from Haidong.

Originally, Tang Suiyun was indeed prepared to use his sword and the Heavenly Net together to block the punch, but as soon as he had this thought, the Bat Blade shifted its position slightly and the tip of the blade vibrated violently, causing his wrist to become unsteady.

If he were to extend his blade, it would be absolutely impossible for him to help Skynet block that punch.

This unparalleled punch force would only tear away his bat-shaped blade and strike Skynet's true form.

Tang Suiyun stopped his blade in shock, and watched helplessly as the fist broke through space and time and smashed into Tianwang's forehead.

The way this punch was delivered was like a supreme initiation technique, instantly channeling billions of stars into the true form of the Heavenly Net, leaving no room for refusal.

The condensation of billions of galaxies is like reenacting the Big Bang, using the true form of Skynet as the origin.

The true form of Tianwang exploded on the spot, and Guan Luoyang's five fingers simultaneously opened.

The countless ray storms and new celestial bodies generated by the explosion were still under his five fingers.

However, the original mark of Skynet did not emerge, and it did not lose its ability to resist directly in this explosion.

The cultivation path of the SkyNet involves endless data calculations using wisdom, and also endless creation by combining wisdom with physical materials.

The path of creation is difficult to traverse; one must be meticulous and single-minded, holding fast to the mean, paying attention to the subtleties of change, and thoroughly implementing the truth.

Skynet's creative approach emphasizes mass production at each stage, and it excels at creating and replicating massive quantities.

Although Tianwang mainly focuses on the technology route and Dongfang Wuyou mainly focuses on the martial arts route, their cultivation paths show great commonality when they reach the six-star and seven-star stages. Both emphasize quantitative accumulation, which is why they were able to become companions in the first place.

As billions of galaxies condensed and exploded within his body, the SkyNet transformed into quantum information, replicating its existence template in every newly generated ray storm and every newly generated celestial body.

Therefore, no matter how vast the energy of this explosion is, it will not be destroyed by this energy, but will expand outward with the surging energy.

He was even calculating the possibility of guiding this energy in reverse to impact Guan Luoyang's main body.

But gradually, he noticed something was wrong.

Logically, after the Big Bang, the energy changes should gradually decrease from the most intense stage before more matter appears and more stable spacetime emerges. However, the energy turmoil of the Big Bang has not subsided.

On the contrary, the energy surge following this massive explosion of billions of stars is showing a trend of intensifying and accelerating.

Within the entire spacetime range created by the Big Bang, apart from ray storms and violently fluctuating luminous nebulae, no stable stars have yet appeared, but traces of life have already emerged.

Skynet sensed a wondrous spirituality emerging in this chaotic environment, existing between illusion and reality, roaming freely among nebulae and rays, soaring like a dragon.

dragon?

At the very moment this associated word appeared in the data of the Skynet, the originally nameless spirituality truly transformed into divine dragons.

They roam this space-time at unparalleled speed, flying with unparalleled joy, bringing about even more drastic changes.

The free and unrestrained nature influenced all the energy in this new space-time, and everything was freed from constraints.

At that moment, Skynet's sense of time seemed to become dulled, and it seemed to have deduced a lot of things.

He realized that Guan Luoyang's punch was not even a technique used to kill.

It's just illustrating one possibility.

Guan Luoyang was using this punch to try and truly step into the Nine Stars realm.

The next moment, Skynet's data could no longer be calculated.

Because when all quantum mechanics lost their most basic constraints, the spacetime created after the Big Bang, like a bubble, was instantly torn apart and vanished.

Those dragon-like yet not-so-dragon spirits have probably transcended to a higher, unspeakable realm, and all the data that the Skynet just copied no longer exists.

His original mark emerged as a cube with countless tiny facets, constantly turning and changing inside, yet its exterior could be pieced together to form a few simple ridges.

With a clear sound, the primordial mark was also covered with cracks.

Guan Luoyang's outstretched hand drooped slightly downwards.

He suppressed the Skynet, Barn, Eternal Civilization, and Phoenix Staff into the nail crevices of his right index, middle, ring, and little fingers, respectively.

Like four tiny, insignificant specks of light, nestled at the tips of glossy, neat nails.

"hehe!"

Tang Suiyun suddenly laughed.

In the blink of an eye, the two eight-star reincarnators who possessed divine artifacts were suppressed.

He just didn't know what expression to make, and he didn't want to look miserable, so he inexplicably laughed.

Dongfang Wuyou could only forcefully activate 40% of his foundation, but when he used the Haotian Mirror, he was still not to be underestimated. Even without the divine artifact, Bai Mei Daoren was extremely difficult to deal with.

If we arrange them in order, Tang Suiyun should be the easiest to deal with next.

"Barn is in a terrible situation. At least Skynet showed some of its capabilities."

A verse suddenly popped into Tang Suiyun's mind.

"Pay close attention to the situation, follow the flow of others, adapt to the situation, neither resist nor oppose, and do not stretch or contract yourself... Refine your energy and return it to your spirit, your momentum will soar, and you will be able to do as you please, without any setbacks."

This is a verse from Tai Chi, a style of boxing he practiced before he became a reincarnator.

Although he later pursued various biochemical modifications and super-powered mutations, making great strides in the world of reincarnators, fundamentally, he never gave up using the philosophy of martial arts to analyze the world.

Even his Bat Blade doesn't employ the kind of swordsmanship that simply pursues sharpness and lethality.

Hardness leads to brittleness, and sharpness leads to thinness. Simply pursuing a swordsmanship that is supposed to be immune to all techniques will inevitably lead to one's own weakness, and in the end, it is just a superficial path.

His Bat Knife, in essence, still embodies the principles of Tai Chi, using the phenomena of the antimatter universe to drive the reversal of all things, and using the understanding of the positive matter universe to protect the knife user.

At this moment, with no hope of escape, Tang Suiyun's mind was no longer filled with the enemy, but rather with the joy of martial arts. He only wished to use the principles of Tai Chi to unleash another strike.

As Guan Luoyang's second strike came down, Tang Suiyun's blade struck out in response.

For a time, Hai Donglai and his group lost track of Tang Suiyun and were unable to exert any further restraint.

At the same time, Bai Mei and Dongfang Wuyou also launched their attacks.

Unlike Tang Suiyun, whose mind eventually returned to the enjoyment of martial arts after much deliberation, Bai Mei Daoren's will was more resolute and persistent.

The White-Browed Taoist has always practiced martial arts to become stronger and to defeat his opponents.

That's right, he wasn't even pursuing his own "victory," but rather his opponent's "defeat."

After Guan Luoyang took over the earth vein energy of the Gourmet Continent, it became so powerful that, instead of being surprised, the White-Browed Daoist was delighted, and his desire increased a thousandfold.

In the entire culinary universe, the people closest to nine-star status are Guan Luoyang, Bai Mei, and Dongfang Wuyou.

Of these three, the one who stayed at the peak of the eight-star level for the longest time must be the White-browed Taoist.

The peak of the eight-star realm is close to the nine-star meridian concept.

He longed for a breakthrough, and he hoped to achieve it in a battle.

However, even if an opponent at the peak of the eight-star level wields a divine artifact, it's impossible for them to put enough pressure on him, and nine-star figures are simply too powerful.

Since the war between the supreme battle groups began, after several attempts, the White-Browed Daoist had almost given up on the idea of ​​breaking through in battle and preferred to cultivate step by step to break through to a higher realm.

But it was precisely at this time that Guan Luoyang appeared as it is now.

So powerful, yet still not nine stars—isn't that the best goal?!

Therefore, when Bai Mei made his move, he had no intention of escaping, nor was he showing his final self. He wanted to take advantage of this collision to break through and defeat his opponent with a higher level of skill.

But how could Guan Luoyang not feel their feelings?

Ultimately, the reason why practitioners can break through due to pressure is that when under great pressure, their thinking becomes more active, and they may be able to find new solutions to things that they couldn't understand before.

However, for those who have reached the seventh level or above, almost everything they have learned before has been fully explored. If they want to make new progress, they can only learn new things and gain new insights.

Therefore, if a powerful expert at the seven-star level or above breaks through due to pressure, it is mostly because under pressure, they saw some profound mystery of the Great Dao displayed by the other party, and applied it to their own use.

Guan Luoyang currently possesses two parts of the profound mysteries of the Great Dao.

Firstly, it was his own peak eight-star realm, a point he had already encountered with his opponent before, so there was no further inspiration from it.

Secondly, there's the energy from the ley lines of the Gourmet Continent that he possesses, which could indeed offer the other party more inspiration.

The problem is that Guan Luoyang has only just come into contact with this part of the mystery, and these things are a whole new world for him to learn from.

When he, as the one in control, tries to comprehend these profound mysteries, how could he possibly be inferior to the prying eyes of outsiders?!
