Chapter 290: 280 Chapter Green Dragon Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm, Mysterious Heritage

On the vast and boundless sea, thousands of warships shuttled about with abandon.

Snowflakes drifted from the sky, fluttering about and growing heavier as they fell.

As the struggle for the Ten Thousand Domains intensified, the environment within the Endless Sea Area became increasingly harsh and unsuitable for life. Consequently, many smaller Demon Clans were devoured by larger ones.

Among them, the most powerful were Hong Yuan’s Black Dragon Palace and the Mysterious Water Snake Demon Clan.

Because of Hong Yuan’s existence, the Mysterious Water Snake Demon Clan gained a certain reputation within the Endless Sea Area!

It was the harsh winter season, according to the Demon Clan Calendar. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

When Hong Yuan led his army, vast and mighty, upon arriving at the entrance to the Green Dragon Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm, the numbers of the Demon Soldiers of the Zero Desolate Army had dwindled to the Nine Oceanic Battalion, shrinking by more than nine-tenths.

Many Mortal Demons were forced to stop due to the dire environment, and even numerous Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals were excluded from the core battalion by Hong Yuan for insufficient military achievements.

The Green Dragon Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm, no matter how vast or how rich in resources, could hardly accommodate the numerous Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals.

Moreover, in Hong Yuan’s heart, those battalions that joined later, merely adding luster, didn’t qualify to share the greatest spoils of victory with him.

"The Green Dragon Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm, finally," Hong Yuan murmured.

Hong Yuan flew out from the Monarch warship, slowly arriving at the entrance of the Green Dragon Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm.

To open the Green Dragon Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm, a token was needed. The token itself was none other than the Demonic Body Hong Yuan, who had achieved absolute victory and gathered great fortune!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a dazzling purple-gold light first blossomed from Hong Yuan’s body. Soon after, the purple-gold light surged, forming a profound halo.

The profound halo kept rotating, slowly expanding, and eventually pulled open a city gate.

This city gate, as if connecting heaven and earth, was daunting to behold.

Carved on the gate were the Nine Beasts of Dragon Sons, along with various intricate and exquisite patterns of powerful military might. Looking closely, the flag patterns of the Zero Desolate Army were especially prominent.

The Flood Gathering War Banner and its Sub-banners were completely engraved on the city gate!

RUMBLE, RUMBLE, RUMBLE...

A series of colossal sounds erupted as the city gate, as if pulled by someone, opened slowly, revealing the interior.

In an instant, a rich fragrance of herbs rushed forth, refreshing the spirit and clearing the mind.

This herb fragrance, almost tangible, paused midair and under the influence of an invisible hand, formed a verdant stairway that soared upwards.

The stairway connected to the gate of the Demon Realm at the top and touched the surging waves of the sea surface at the bottom.

Even the lower-ranked Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals without the ability to fly could use it to reach the interior of the Green Dragon Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm.

"The Green Dragon Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm!" Hong Yuan’s heart swelled with joy, his eyes creasing into a smile.

Having reached this step, he had fulfilled the commission of his godfather, the Black Dragon Demon Saint, repaying the other’s kindness greatly.

Without further thought, Hong Yuan took a large stride forward, ascending the verdant stair, the first to enter the Green Dragon Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm.

"Xuan Guangqiao..." Li Jianqiu uttered, her silver teeth biting lightly.

As the second-ranking leader of the Zero Desolate Army, Li Jianqiu quickly followed suit, unwilling to fall too far behind Hong Yuan.

Even after witnessing Hong Yuan’s astonishing strength, Li Jianqiu still harbored a faint hope in her heart.

What if she could catch up with Hong Yuan?

Following closely behind were Gui Qu, Zhang Fan, and other high-ranking members of the Zero Desolate Army.

Two hours later, the Zero Desolate Army entered the Green Dragon Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm; the verdant stairway crumbled, and the gates to the heavens closed behind them.

The purple-gold halo converged to a point and vanished from sight.

They’re all inside now, and who knows when Xuan Guangqiao is going to summon that guy Xuan Qi, and what kind of Holy Artifact he’ll get...

The many Demon Saints watching helplessly withdrew their gazes, internally complaining. This Xuan Qi hardly cultivated Hong Yuan carefully at all!

The gaze of the Swallowing Wolf Demon Saint was filled with worry as he sighed inwardly, I spent over three hundred Green Grapes Immortal Nuance to finally decipher the mystery of the treasure map and discovered that the Great Moon Saint had a legacy hidden in the Green Dragon Heavenly Scenic Tower.

Now I’m afraid Xuan Guangqiao has obtained the inheritance. He had already acquired a part of the Great Moon Saint’s legacy, and now his luck is flourishing uncontrollably.

When Hong Yuan regained consciousness, the scene before him was starkly different from before.

The sky flowed with the Milky Way, the ground beneath him was murky like the Yellow River, and the islands ahead looked like stars scattered across a vast expanse of ochre.

Gazing at this landscape, Hong Yuan was stunned for a moment.

How, how can this be so similar to the Huangqu River in my dream!?

And didn’t the past overlords always arrive directly at the Green Dragon Saint Palace?

Hong Yuan was astounded.

Looking around, the more Hong Yuan saw, the more startled he became, as he suddenly realized that the dream had become reality!

Although he was the only demon here right now, his sense of amazement and crisis did not lessen in the slightest.

In times of uncertainty, Hong Yuan decisively activated his fifth-order Wisdom Tao Demon Skill.

Wisdom Tao Demon Skill—Seven Star Beads!

Above Hong Yuan’s head, seven phantoms of stars instantly rose, connecting to form the Big Dipper, emitting the light of wisdom.

Bathed in the light of wisdom, Hong Yuan’s mind whirred into overdrive, feeling his computational ability leap from manual to artificial intelligence, at least a hundredfold increase in computational power.

Each school has its strengths and limitations. Although Wisdom Tao has produced Great Emperors, it is not omnipotent.

Without sufficient information, Wisdom Tao is equally blind.

Right now, due to a lack of information, Hong Yuan found it difficult to be certain about the results of his calculations.

No choice, I’ll have to see for myself.

Hong Yuan took a deep breath and decisively summoned the Flood Gathering War Banner Tao Species.

As soon as he grasped the Flood Gathering War Banner Tao Species, he felt a strong call from ahead, urgently attracting the Flood Gathering War Banner.

Holy Artifacts have spirits!

Since the Flood Gathering War Banner had consumed the essence and even souls of countless Demon Beasts, it began to develop some instincts, evolving towards the transformation into a Holy Artifact.

At this moment, the Flood Gathering War Banner felt this mysterious call and eagerly expressed its desire to devour to Hong Yuan.

Quiet.

With a thought from Hong Yuan, the Flood Gathering War Banner immediately went from trembling to still, allowing him to control it.

Hong Yuan did not object to Tao Species or Holy Artifacts developing instincts.

However, he would never allow these Tao Species or Holy Artifacts to defy his will. He would rather destroy them to ensure they will never lead him by the nose!

He was a practitioner of Longevity Martial Arts and also possessed the expertise of a Refining Tao master. As his cultivation grew, he would eventually come to possess Holy Artifacts. There was no need to rush.

HUMMM—

Hong Yuan held the Flood Gathering War Banner expressionlessly, feeling out the source of the call that lured the devouring instinct of the Flood Gathering War Banner.

After a while, Hong Yuan turned and faced the lush island to the south.

With a movement, he immediately gripped the Flood Gathering War Banner and headed toward the verdant island.

The closer he got, the more Hong Yuan’s heart trembled.

Because the arrangement on the lush island was uncannily similar to the place where he lived in his dreams.

Only then, he was "Han Jiuming," but now, he was "Xuan Guangqiao."

A profound question lingered in Hong Yuan’s mind: Could it be that everything he experienced in the dream was not just a dream?
