A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 624 Taking it all for himself

Emperor Moqian even exchanged a move with Guan Luoyang, and was only swallowed on the second move.

Guan Luoyang did not resist Lu Wu's attack at all, swallowing it whole.

The formation of twenty emperors was greatly weakened by the loss of these two people.

Originally, as the emperor of the Taiqing Chiming World, his mastery of formations was extremely high.

Even if they lose two people, they can easily transform into a large-scale formation like the "Two Elements, Four Symbols, and Twelve Earthly Branches" passed down by the Heavenly Court's Department of the Year, regroup, and keep the location of Guanluoyang outside the formation.

Or it could transform into the "Eight Trigrams of Generation and Death in the Ten Directions of Void" formation, a fusion of Taoism and Buddhism, or the "Eighteen Levels of Hell Transformation" formation, which spread from the underworld, and so on.

Even if these widely spread formations are of average power, they can at least hold out for a while and prevent the formation from being broken immediately.

Unfortunately, while Guan Luoyang was devouring the two emperors, the thirteen emperors on the periphery were also entangled and unable to respond in any way.

Huang Yun, Yang Guan, and the three emperors in charge of the three directions immediately felt isolated.

Although they still had five people left, and should have been able to set up another formation, after seeing the supernatural abilities Guan Luoyang had just displayed, they knew they had no room to change the formation again.

"The cause and effect are intertwined, there is nowhere to escape. Fourth Brother suggested that we strike first, but we still miscalculated. We never expected that this Supreme Master Qingdeng would have the ability to combine the supernatural powers of many emperors into one!"

Emperor Huangyun's mind raced, but these thoughts and ideas were like tiny crystal particles floating in a thick fog, indistinct and as fine as dust.

This overwhelming fog that filled his entire heart was a profound and inescapable sorrow.

He let out a long roar, and the divine tree in the halo behind him trembled. The bare, slender branches intertwined and instantly wove together to form six caves, each containing a mansion.

"Even if you swallow my brother, you can't eat him so easily!!"

The Six Palaces Secret Technique of Xuanyuan Holy Land is a method specifically created for cultivators at the Emperor Realm.

After the Emperor opened up the Great Dao Realm, every move he made was imbued with unparalleled power. He could freely adjust the time sequence of other unclaimed Great Dao Realms, reverse the void, and knead them between his fingers.

However, their blessing power comes from their own universe. If the operation of their own universe tends to stagnate, then the blessing power will slow down and weaken.

Therefore, they could not completely freeze the time of their own universe at its peak, and could only let their own universe gradually decline and end after reaching its peak.

However, while it's impossible to freeze time as a whole, it is possible to freeze only a portion of it.

Which part should be solidified so as not to affect the normal growth of the Great Dao Realm from its initial stage to its peak?

After reaching its peak, should the previously solidified parts be modified or replaced?

After the Great Dao Realm begins to decline, at what time should we choose to release the previously solidified parts in order to extend the lifespan of the Great Dao Realm as much as possible?

When opening up the Great Dao and the universe, the initial methods used are different. When choosing the timing for solidifying certain things, should we also change accordingly?

Each step in this process requires multiple emperors to repeatedly experience the operation of their own realms, to observe and experiment over a long period of time, and even requires the participation of more than one celestial venerable before it can be summarized.

Naturally, mastering this level of secret technique to its fullest extent is not an easy task.

Even the human emperors of Taiqing Chiming, after learning the Six Palaces Secret Technique, could mostly only reach the level of the Three Palaces or Four Palaces.

For example, Lu Wu cultivated the three palaces of Gexia, Youlan, and Lanyu.

Mo Qian built four prefectures, adding a prefecture called the Pure Water Prefecture.

Yang Guan and Mo Qian are similar, having also cultivated to the Four Palaces, but the way the Four Palaces operate is different from Mo Qian's.

However, their eldest brother, Emperor Huangyun, was someone who had successfully cultivated all six palaces.

If it weren't for the elaborate schemes and betrayals by our arch-enemy...

Emperor Huangyun's Great Dao Realm was originally capable of maintaining its peak for 30 billion years.

Although he has now fallen into the depths of the Five Turbidities, in his grief, he used his deepest emotions to completely squeeze out the potential of the Six Palaces, releasing all the true essence of the Six Palaces that had been frozen in time in one strike, and he still managed to reach 70% of his peak combat power!

The Palace of Extraordinary Qi, the Palace of the Lower Diaphragm, the Palace of the Deep Enclosure, the Palace of the Remaining Enclosure, the Palace of Pure Water, and the Palace of the Three Jiaos.

Qiheng is the head of the six fu organs, and Sanjiao is the ancestor of the six fu organs.

When all six energies are complete, even the five turbid energies can be opened up again with extraordinary speed.

The flow is divided by the diaphragm, the usable substances are absorbed by the turbid impurities, the remaining impurities are stored by the turbid impurities, the impurities are re-aggregated by the clean water, and the impurities are detonated and expelled by the triple burner.

Although the conversion rate of the Six Palaces Secret Technique is still insufficient to completely reverse the trend of decay.

However, Emperor Huangyun is using this move now only to temporarily shatter and reshape the Five Turbidities that he usually finds difficult to control, so that they can be manipulated at will and infinitely varied, filling his divine power and unleashing its full potential.

Golden clouds, swirling endlessly, gathered in front of Emperor Huangyun's palms and struck out with all his might.

The force of this attack made Guan Luoyang show a cautious expression.

Even if his clone were to stop hiding and unleash its full power, it would probably only be slightly better than the opponent's move.

These emperors who possessed the Great Dao Realm were indeed true nine-star warriors in their past. Even in their decline, some of them still retained some of their strength and should not be underestimated.

This, however, stirred up Guan Luoyang's competitive spirit, and he insisted on confronting the opponent's move head-on in his current disguised state.

Just as Emperor Huangyun's ultimate move was about to strike, the opponent raised his left hand, and countless small worlds suddenly appeared in his palm.

Buddhist scriptures say that Mount Sumeru is the center, and there are seven mountains and eight seas outside. The eighth sea is the Salt Sea, and the mountain surrounding this Salt Sea is the Iron Mountain.

One yojana is forty li. The Iron Mountain is 6.8 million yojana high and 6.8 million yojana wide and long. It is dense and solid, made of diamond, and difficult to destroy!

Thus, the nine mountains and eight seas form a small world.

A thousand small worlds together form a small chiliocosm; a thousand small chiliocosms together form a medium chiliocosm.

A great chiliocosm is formed by gathering a thousand middle chiliocosms and covering them with the four dhyana heavens.

As soon as Guan Luoyang stretched out his palm, the scene of the Three Thousand Great Worlds appeared in an instant.

The celestial demon in the halo behind his head let out a terrible scream, and the whisk in his right hand also burst out with extremely thick five turbid qi, all of which was drawn by his left palm.

Suddenly, the three thousand great worlds were thrown into chaos. Countless mountains and seas rose and fell in succession, mountains collapsed, and the sea cracked open.

"The vast world is a labyrinth of illusions..."

Guan Luoyang let out a loud shout and unleashed a palm strike head-on at Emperor Huangyun.

"When the four dhyanas are destroyed, all Buddhas will fall!"

The Void Voyage and the Dharani Mantra are combined, along with the Flowing Sands of Dharma and the Tathagata's Divine Palm.

When the shifting sands of emptiness arrive, the entire universe will perish!

After the Six Palaces' secret techniques collided with this move, thick golden clouds exploded one after another, accompanied by a series of loud bangs.

Wherever the golden energy wave passed, the vast and boundless void of the underworld trembled wildly, like a black ribbon.

Each wave of energy carried countless small worlds within the Iron Enclosure Mountain, mired in destruction during the final calamity of the Five Turbidities.

The emperors around them, who were in the midst of a fierce battle, all changed their expressions in an instant upon feeling these shockwaves pass by.

Emperor Huangyun's move was originally intended to temporarily shatter the Five Turbidities using the Six Palaces' secret technique, and then use it as the power of the sacred land. After the power spread, he naturally lost control of the appearance of the power and revealed the true nature of the Five Turbidities.

Guan Luoyang was even more ruthless. His move, "Great Thousand Worlds Enter Annihilation," used only the boundless and profound Qi of the Five Turbidities from beginning to end.

Even after it was unleashed, it recklessly devoured the void of the underworld, assimilating and polluting the void environment that had been purified daily by the Taiqing Divine Sun.

These golden waves of energy, in the eyes of those emperors with bodies of impurity, were nothing less than a deadly poison specifically targeting them.

While avoiding the shockwave, these people couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy.

The sheer volume of air emanating from it was terrifying; just how intense must the five turbid energies be for the two people at the very center of the conflict?

Master Qingdeng is alright, after all, he is an old monster who can drag the remains of the universe and open another Great Dao universe. In this situation, it is estimated that it has not exceeded his limit.

However, Emperor Huangyun had no idea what kind of miserable situation was at this moment.

Not only those who were on the same side as Emperor Huangyun, but even the underworld emperors who were their enemies, couldn't help but feel a sense of kinship, as they were all born of the same turbid nature.

"These people must not be allowed to escape."

Guan Luoyang's voice came from within that cloud of golden dust.

Those small worlds, which are either mountains or seas, originally did not have any living beings evolving within them; they only contained the images of Buddhas manifested by the Buddha's aura.

When the Iron Mountain was blasted apart and these worlds were destroyed one after another, the sound seemed unusually hollow, like the sound of bells and drums mixed with the charm of Buddhist scriptures.

Guan Luoyang's voice, amplified by these sounds, also possessed a destructive solemnity, making those around him feel uneasy and panicked, as if a great calamity was about to befall them.

The figure of Emperor Huangyun has disappeared.

Emperor Yangguan and the three emperors who occupied the three directions of the universe had all been unable to avoid the demonic sound and their condition had deteriorated. Under the influence of this demonic sound, they felt even more confused and unable to use their supernatural powers.

Suddenly, a large hand emerged from within the golden dust and grabbed all four of them.

Despite their desperate struggles, emitting various colored lights and displaying all sorts of escape techniques, they could not escape and were slowly drawn into that cloud of dust.

The destructive tolling of bells and drums continued, now seemingly mixed with some eerie noises.

Those emperors who had pledged allegiance to the fake Ksitigarbha lineage dared not be negligent in this situation, and all exerted their full strength to besiege the other thirteen emperors.

Even the dozen or so people who had been severely injured earlier joined in the attack.

The Five Turbid Emperors could not endure a prolonged battle, and the thirteen emperors could not set up an array. Each of them had to face the attacks of two or even three equally powerful opponents. They could not hold on for long before they all fell into a slump.

People have already been suppressed.

There was also Wu Xian Dijun, who, after being besieged and worn down for so long, even showed signs of turning into a celestial ghost.

Just then, purple mist and golden dust swept in, and a large, thin, bony hand, golden with a hint of purple, broke through the void, grabbed Wu Xian Dijun, and pulled him out from the encirclement of several people.

The group hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to see a purple haze, golden dust floating in the air, and white hair dancing wildly in the sky, approaching from afar.

The figure of Master Qingdeng stood amidst the dense purple mist and golden dust, as if countless purple-gold flames were burning around him. His features were blurred, and his face was indistinct.

After Wu Xian Dijun was captured, he was stuffed into his mouth and silenced.

Whether it was the emperors' imagination or not, they seemed to see that blurry face chewing a few times.

Immediately afterwards, Master Qingdeng raised his right whisk, and the clear silver threads danced longer and longer, sweeping across the void and tumbling away.

The other emperors who had been suppressed were all bound by these whisk threads and brought to the side of the Supreme Master Qingdeng, where they disappeared one by one into the flames on his face.

"That scoundrel Qingdeng..."

The experienced emperors exchanged glances.

"His condition must have deteriorated considerably after taking that blow from Huang Yun; he's become so indiscriminate in his eating! I recognize what he was eating just now; it was an earthworm that had become a spirit..."

"The Six Palaces' Secret Techniques of the Xuanyuan Holy Land are no ordinary feats."

"But with so many emperors suppressed within his body, isn't he afraid they'll find another opportunity to unite and blow his belly open?"

"These people have been severely worn down and suppressed separately. They have no chance to unite; they're nothing more than fish on a chopping board."

The Lord of Jiufang Mountain watched with considerable envy.

This Master Qingdeng, in a way, turned misfortune into blessing. Although he fought back against Emperor Huangyun's attack, the fact that so many emperors were subsequently devoured will likely improve his condition considerably.

It's hateful that only an old monster like him, dragging along the remains of two different universes, could use such a method.

Other emperors could at most use a method to replace the void, but they could never achieve what he did.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard a strange noise from the side.

The Zombie King God lunged at a suppressed Emperor who had three heads and eight arms and a beautiful appearance; he was a goddess general.

With a single pounce, the Zombie King God bit off one of her arms and swallowed it whole.

The master of Jiufang Mountain was taken aback.

Has the Zombie King God also figured out a method to use other emperors as tonics? No, no, he doesn't have that kind of foundation...

The Lord of Jiufang Mountain suddenly realized that the Zombie King God was simply addicted to eating people.

In the blink of an eye, the Zombie King God had already pounced on the Empress, wanting to crack open her skull and taste her brains.

Suddenly a large hand grabbed out, its five fingers spread wide, covering the figures of the Empress and the Zombie King God.

When the hand withdrew, the spot was empty.

"Master Qingdeng, you've arrested the wrong person!"

The Nine Directions Mountain Master and the others exclaimed in surprise.

"You captured the Zombie King God as well."

Their cries were chaotic, but it was all too late.

After the Supreme Master Qingdeng withdrew his large hand, he wiped it on his face, and the two figures in his hand disappeared. His cheeks seemed to puff out, and then he blew away the gold dust around him, revealing his true face.

"Did I eat something wrong?"

Blue flames burned in his eye sockets as he surveyed the crowd, and thunderous roars emanated from his abdomen.

"Who did you eat wrong?"

Many underworld emperors felt a chill in their hearts. This fellow was clearly not full yet, and that grab just now was most likely a deliberate attempt to grab an extra one.

Now that a great calamity is imminent, having eliminated any potential threats, it's time to quickly practice formations and coordinate with each other.

With Master Qingdeng's abilities, when the time comes to storm the underworld, everyone will still need to rely on him.

Well then, Zombie King God... let him be.
