A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 609 A Leaf of Pure White, Unafraid of Its Cause

When Dongfang Wuyou launched his final charge against Guan Luoyang, the Half-God had already gone far away, and Emperor Baosheng no longer maintained the restrictions imposed by the competition.

Therefore, at this time, Dongfang Wuyou had completely recovered to his peak condition.

As his body flew forward, it split into nine, transforming into nine clusters of crimson clouds.

Guan Luoyang could tell at a glance that his nine red clouds had all reached a level that surpassed all observational levels in the universe in some aspect, and had remained unified from beginning to end.

Moreover, each of the nine red clouds has its own unique characteristics. Theoretically speaking, if the nine red clouds were to merge into one, they should be able to create a complete realm of a nine-star powerhouse.

Starting from the eighth-star high-level stage, the White-browed Taoist chose to sublimate part of his existence concept towards the ninth-star level.

After reaching the advanced level of the eighth star, Dongfang Wuyou began to try to directly ignore the unknown flaws and use his existing achievements in various aspects to piece together the prototype of the Dao Fruit.

Because of the existence of unknown flaws, this rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit obviously cannot truly exist for a long time.

However, each process of piecing things together and dismantling them provided Dongfang Wuyou with some subtle inspiration, allowing him to find a direction for his thinking and seek more new insights to fill in his shortcomings.

This method is extremely dangerous. Even for an eight-star Reincarnator, there is still a possibility of detonating their own Great Dao Essence every time they try to piece together the prototype of the Dao Fruit.

However, it cannot be denied that among the eight-star powerhouses in all the heavens and myriad worlds, the two paths taken by Bai Mei Dao Ren and Dongfang Wuyou are the most mainstream cultivation methods.

It was at least much less dangerous than Guan Luoyang figuring out this unorthodox path on his own.

It should be understood that Dongfang Wuyou's path, even if it fails multiple times, only results in serious injuries and the risk of regression in cultivation level. Guan Luoyang's attempt to seize Fuxi Huaying's body, on the other hand, was a one-time, high-risk adventure that could have resulted in immediate death if he failed.

Because it's mainstream, there should be more room for error.

Because it is mainstream, it should have a more solid foundation.

Therefore, even at this moment, Dongfang Wuyou had no intention of giving up.

He abandoned the Haotian Mirror in order to eliminate the interference of the Nine Star Divine Artifacts and fully reveal the true nature of his path at this moment, making one last attempt.

"No wonder that after you obtained the strange beast, you were able to send billions of birds in the dream world to their deaths without hesitation, without even thinking of other ways to use it."

"So your previous plan was to bring forward the end of this universe, and at the same time as the end of the universe, use the concept of rebirth to make your imperfect Dao Fruit prototype be reborn from the ashes and reach a stable and long-lasting state."

Guan Luoyang raised his hand, and a deep blue leaf suddenly appeared in his palm.

The leaves fluttered gently, their color a deep blue, almost black, yet the veins within them possessed a pristine white texture, exuding a strange depth and beauty.

"We've faced off several times, and each of us has our limitations, so it hasn't been a truly satisfying match. I'll give you a similar opportunity then!"

Nine red clouds crashed in, and the leaf had slowly grown to the size to encompass the nine red clouds.

The red clouds move with incredible speed, yet the leaves seem to grow very slowly, but they happen to meet at the perfect time.

Nine red clouds are like nine pieces of paint falling onto a painting paper and imprinting themselves on the leaves.

As the leaves grow, the red clouds occupy less and less space, and can even move freely on the leaves. However, when these red clouds come into contact with the white veins, they collide violently and emit strong light outward.

After the Big Bang, due to the expansion of spacetime, most matter has become much less dense than in the singularity and has been transformed into various forms of energy.

However, the Big Bang may not have been a uniform, complete, one-time explosion event.

During the explosion, some ultradense matter may not have fully reacted, and it may still retain a state similar to that before the Big Bang.

In the nascent universe, these ultra-dense matter states will continuously eject various substances and energy outwards.

These ultra-dense fragments of matter are called white holes!

The veins of this leaf are clearly the tracks formed by those white holes.

This leaf is a newborn embryo of the primordial universe.

Hoshihashi Tenma stared blankly at the scene before it, its body stiff. It wanted to run, but knew it couldn't, and was even more terrified of what it would be treated next.

After all, among the many multiverses in the Great Void Sea, there are only a handful that can create an opportunity for rebirth.

Although Guan Luoyang has reached the Nine Stars level, and can create a primordial universe embryo with a flick of his wrist, it is unlikely that he can make this universe grow to a multi-dimensional scale in an instant and create an opportunity for rebirth.

Next, Guan Luoyang will definitely take away the concept of rebirth from Xingqiao Tianma!

Despite Xingqiao Tianma's fearful gaze, Guan Luoyang simply stared at the leaf in his hand, showing no intention of making a move against it.

The leaf grew larger and larger, and the white veins gradually faded, proving that white holes in this cosmic embryo were becoming fewer and fewer.

The expansion of spacetime is about to enter its most stable phase, with newly formed celestial bodies occupying most of the dark background of the universe.

As the universe grew to this point, glimmers of light gradually appeared in Guan Luoyang's eyes.

The spirituality represented by the glimmer of light flowed from him and poured into the universe, quickly bringing with it countless auras of prosperity.

But even if we achieve this, the universe cannot spontaneously generate the opportunity for rebirth, so what follows...

Guan Luoyang slightly bent his five fingers, causing the deep blue leaves to begin to shrink.

Everything in the entire primordial universe is flowing back!

Such opportunities as the rebirth of the food universe are indeed rare and hard to come by.

However, Guan Luoyang can reverse this nascent primordial universe back to its original state, and then reopen it, simulating the phenomenon of rebirth.

Although it is certainly different from the rebirth in the Gourmet Universe, for Dongfang Wuyou, there is no difference between the two rebirth phenomena.

He can also use this rebirth to launch his final breakthrough.

Just as the broad leaves flowed backward into a small dot, the nine red clouds also completely merged, turning into a glimmer of light.

The next moment, Guan Luoyang extended his hand forward, pointed with his fingers and chopped at that small spot.

The small black dots suddenly expand, as if they are about to regrow into leaves, but then begin to wither when they are halfway through their growth.

The symbolic concept of cosmic rebirth has been seized by the inner Dongfang Wuyou.

After a long while, the leaf that seemed underdeveloped, withered, and curled burst open, and Dongfang Wuyou's figure reappeared.

"This is what a nine-star level looks like!"

His voice was full of joy as he looked at Guan Luoyang.

Guan Luoyang merely glanced at him indifferently: "How is it?"

Dongfang Wuyou was silent for a moment: "Although I only experienced it for a moment, it was enough for me to realize that I was wrong before."

A nine-star powerhouse is roughly equivalent to the various conceptual energy sources of a normal multiverse at its peak.

Some peak eight-star powerhouses, having wasted too much time and unable to reach higher realms, will choose to become creators.

They slowly opened up their own universe, drawing upon the primordial chaos energy, and through a series of transitional steps, extended it to the scale of a multiverse.

This is an extremely arduous task. Although the external flow of time can be manipulated and skipped at will, and one can ignore it, it still requires billions of years of effort to calculate according to one's own timeline.

But the hard work is worthwhile. When their own multiverse reaches its peak, their strength is enough to rival that of a nine-star powerhouse. They can basically dominate a region, refuse any external interference, and enjoy life.

The multiverse they create, in its rise and fall, will inevitably bring them some new insights.

However, the multiverse is subject to self-destruction. The lifespan of the creators far exceeds that of ordinary multiverses. However, because they are too deeply involved with their own universes, they are often deeply affected when they reach the point of destruction.

Some creators choose to bear the burden themselves, while others shamelessly devise methods to replace the calamity, which will stir up a lot of trouble.

True nine-star powerhouses do not face the calamity of self-destruction.

"Rebirth is a personal matter."

Guan Luoyang's voice slowly reached Dongfang Wuyou's ears.

"I only remembered when I saw this horse that I experienced a rebirth when I jumped from the initial stage of the eighth star to the peak stage of the eighth star."

"The concept of rebirth that Hoshiba Tenma obtained is also something that has been created by the accumulation of all civilizations in this food multiverse, the vast starry sky, and countless beings."

"Our rebirths are both rebirths, but how are they even remotely similar?"

"Although I don't know how you plan to reach your nine-star realm, I'm certain that your attempt to use the rebirth opportunity brewing for you in the Food Universe to take your final step is futile."

Dongfang Wuyou's forehead veins bulged as he listened, and he gritted his teeth.

From his time at the six-star level, he had developed a habit of extracting other things to enhance his own cultivation.

Using their wisdom to forge my own path is something that any powerful person with exceptional comprehension would do, and there is nothing wrong with that.

However, Dongfang Wuyou's previous idea relied too much on external things in this regard, making him less clear-headed than Guan Luoyang, the Heavenly Demon.

"If you want to kill me, then kill me. Just let me die before I know the outcome. Why do you have to let me find out that my previous method was wrong?"

Dongfang Wuyou's expression turned extremely ugly. His nature as a powerful martial artist made him think about how to correct the mistakes of his previous path and ponder new ways to improve.

"Is this some kind of desperate hope that I'm forced to turn into resentment, so that even as I die, I'll be agonizing over which new path to take?"

He grew angrier and angrier, and suddenly rammed his head into Guan Luoyang.

Guan Luoyang had been waiting for this. With a single palm strike, he shattered Guan Luoyang's true form, which had previously failed to break through and was already severely injured, revealing the original mark, which Guan Luoyang then suppressed.

"Hahaha, if I don't give you some trouble, you might even shout 'It's so good!' when you die, which would only annoy me more!"

Guan Luoyang was in high spirits. The infinite insights into the Nine Star Realm came rushing into his mind, making him feel as if he were drinking fine wine, and he was even more delighted.

He reached out and took the Haotian Mirror, quickly releasing Yan Kuangtu's original mark to help him reshape his true form and stabilize his injuries.

Finally, he made a sweeping motion with his right hand, and a chaotic rift opened in the void. The primordial chaotic energy outside the boundary formed a vast vortex, bringing Lu Nanxing, who had been drifting outside, back to safety.

The restrictions on Lu Nanxing have been lifted, and he has awakened from his demonic state. However, he still doesn't know if the competition has ended, or whether he has won or lost in this aspect.

When she returned and saw Guan Luoyang and Yan Kuangtu, she immediately understood and a smile appeared on her face.

Although the outcome is largely decided, the competition is not over yet.

Because Emperor Baosheng and his group had previously signed a contract with the leader of the [Longevity] battle group, this martial arts tournament still needed to go through a formality and meet the two previously set victory conditions in order to confirm its conclusion.

It is not difficult.

There are currently no other nine-star powerhouses in the realm. After Guan Luoyang returned and suppressed the White-browed Daoist, he directly fabricated the sun and moon to accelerate time.

As the sun rises and sets, day and night alternate, after several cycles, the condition of occupying enemy territory for three days and three nights is quickly met.

Ghost King Bei, Cosmic Taipan Serpent, and Star Bridge Pegasus were all captured by the [Most Ferocious] faction.

Both conditions are met, resulting in a resounding victory.

"Ha ha!"

Emperor Baosheng walked in from outside the boundary and chuckled. "Although I promised Brother Yan that I would try to postpone the date until Fellow Daoist Fengming arrived here, I did not expect that Fellow Daoist Fengming would make this competition so easy."

Baosheng Dadi and Yan Kuangtu had a long-standing friendship and had saved each other's lives several times in the past. Although Yan Kuangtu felt that they were not very close, Baosheng Dadi often addressed him as his elder brother.

That being said, this competition actually involved several major battles, and there were many dangerous and perilous moments.

The moment when Yan Kuangtu self-destructed and both sides fought for the Cosmic Taipan Serpent is still thrilling to think about afterward.

If Yan Kuangtu had been a fraction less decisive, Guan Luoyang's combat strength and adaptability had been slightly inferior, and Alu and the others' teamwork had been even slightly lacking, the outcome of the competition would likely have been completely different.

However, compared to the previous battles in this region, this competition was indeed much easier.

Toriko was already so excited he couldn't contain himself. Forgetting about the prizes, he asked, "According to the rules before the tournament, can we now revive all the comrades who died in the previous battles in this region?"

Baosheng Dadi nodded with a smile, then suddenly reached out and swept his folding fan across the sky.

Amidst the flowing light, he had already gathered up all the seven-star reincarnators scattered throughout the Gourmet Continent whom he hadn't had time to deal with before.

"With the karma of those who participated in the previous battles, their resurrection will be easier."

Emperor Baosheng glanced at the fan, nodded slightly, and said, "It seems that not everyone in the Chaos Tide is unforgivable. I will screen them and transfer those who are still qualified to abandon darkness and embrace the light to our list of the most ferocious."

When the God Realm is stable, all covenants between the Supreme Chapters are observed, and the effectiveness of each covenant is extremely strong. It is almost impossible to poach members from among the Supreme Chapters.

However, the alliance has now been broken, and given the right opportunity, even a nine-star Reincarnator could easily tamper with it.

Seeing that Toriko was already impatient, Guan Luoyang smiled and said, "Let me lend a hand too."

As he spoke, he reached out and flicked his wrist, pulling together many new causes and effects. When he looked down at them, he smiled inexplicably.

Once things are settled here, he now has the confidence to take a look at the great karmic debts that need to be repaid, such as the Thousand-Petaled Lotus.
