Chapter 292: Chapter 282 Startling Appearance of Extraterrestrial Tao Marks, Ice Armor Python Upper Fifth Rank

In this world, there was a notion of Extraterrestrial Demons.

The Masters generally believed that these Extraterrestrial Demons were intentionally captured by the will of heaven and earth.

Because each Extraterrestrial Demon carried brand-new Tao Marks, which could perfect the Great Taoism of this world, promoting its transformation toward a higher form.

For instance, the mysterious and unfathomable Stealing Tao Marks had been brought by an Extraterrestrial Demon!

My Extraterrestrial Tao Marks...

After a moment of stupefaction, Hong Yuan regained his spirit. He focused intently on the trajectory of the purple-gold Tao Marks, even ignoring the relevance of this environment to the dream realm inheritance.

The Extraterrestrial Tao Marks were simply too astonishing.

He had originally thought that only his Original Body would produce Extraterrestrial Tao Marks, but he did not expect that his Demonic Body would also produce Extraterrestrial Tao Marks.

BUZZ—

Though there was only one streak of purple-gold Tao Marks, its help made the Flood Gathering War Banner seem as if it had taken a mighty tonic. The banner suddenly burst with vigor and energy.

In no time at all, the Flood Gathering War Banner swallowed up the Azure Blue Fluid, successfully touching the barrier of the Holy Artifact.

At that moment, a fierce wind arose on the lush island, lightning snakes wandered, and the Tribulation Cloud gradually formed.

"Holy Artifact Heaven Tribulation!"

But then, something shocking happened. Under Hong Yuan’s astonished gaze, the purple-gold Tao Marks clung to the flag of the Flood Gathering War Banner.

The Flood Gathering War Banner, as if divinely assisted, shot straight toward the Tribulation Cloud and opened its large mouth.

I eat, I eat, I EAT EAT EAT!!!

Vaguely, Hong Yuan sensed such a murky and chaotic thought emanating from the Flood Gathering War Banner.

Upon closer listening, these words seemed to be spoken by Hong Yuan himself.

This time, Hong Yuan felt somewhat unable to maintain his composure.

A quarter of an hour later, the Holy Artifact Heaven Tribulation dissipated.

The Flood Gathering War Banner and the purple-gold Tao Marks floated in the air. With a thought from Hong Yuan, they both hovered in front of him.

Looking at the brand-new and powerful Holy Artifact, the Flood Gathering War Banner, then at the purple-gold Tao Marks, Hong Yuan felt a complex mix of emotions.

Of course, joy was predominant.

"Come back."

With a wave of his hand, both floated into Hong Yuan’s body.

Hong Yuan closed his eyes and silently perceived the main function of the purple-gold Tao Marks.

The functions of Tao Marks from various schools were distinct; for instance, those of Refining Tao primarily offered the function of "refinement."

A quarter of an hour later, Hong Yuan roughly understood the function of the purple-gold Tao Marks.

Devouring, its function is almost like the devouring of the Food Tao!

If that’s the case, then these Extraterrestrial Tao Marks can also be considered a type of Food Tao Mark.

Before Hong Yuan could ponder deeper, a vast and quintessential tide of Essence Qi surged from the Flood Gathering War Banner and fed back to him.

And Hong Yuan’s already unstable rank barrier crumbled with a crash.

The Demonic Body advanced from mid-Fifth Rank towards high-Fifth Rank!

Above the lush island’s sky, multiple layers of Tribulation Clouds once again gathered.

These Tribulation Clouds spread for thousands of miles. Yet, they did not alarm the Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals of the Zero Desolate Army wandering in the Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm.

It was as if, although this place was situated within the Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm, it was isolated from it.

This difference was once again discovered by Hong Yuan, and the perplexity in his heart deepened.

Because all Demon Realms had to rely on the main world; it was not possible for a Demon Realm to be layered within another Demon Realm!

Is this place, could it be... a dream realm!?

An unrealistic thought suddenly flashed through Hong Yuan’s mind.

BOOM! RUMBLE!

An earth-shattering sound erupted from within the Tribulation Clouds. Inside, the Thunder Pool gathered all kinds of dazzling lightning, while electric snakes danced wildly, gripping the soul.

Before long, dark clouds spread, vast and mighty for thousands of miles, plunging everything into darkness.

From beneath the dark clouds, phantoms of incredible Emperor Artifacts like the Mountain and River Pen, Soul Killing Banner, and Le Tu Kasaya emerged.

All sorts of unbelievable manifestations appeared in the sky, their might pressing down on the region.

It was indeed absurd that a mere Demon had invoked such a calamity.

There’s no revival of a Young Emperor’s Mark, good, that’s good.

Facing such a terrifying sight, Hong Yuan sighed with relief.

Clearly, the Young Emperor Heavenly Horned Ant that his Power Tao Incarnation had directly faced before had left a very deep impression on him.

CRACK—SNAP!

Chains of massive lightning tore through the cold night sky, striking down heavily at Hong Yuan.

With each breath, Hong Yuan resisted the lightning strikes.

Not only that, but he also devoured the lightning to strengthen himself.

"Flood Gathering War Banner, Dragon Sparrow Zither, rise!"

Hong Yuan brandished the Flood Gathering War Banner in his left hand while plucking the Dragon Sparrow Zither with his right.

With the two Holy Artifacts deployed, his aura skyrocketed like a towering mountain as he counterattacked the Tribulation Cloud.

In the midst of the struggle, the "Frost Armor" Demon Skill and "Seven Star Beads" Demon Skill within Hong Yuan’s body automatically condensed, rapidly transforming toward Sub-Divine Power and Divine Power.

Two brand new Divine Skill Talismans, each carrying different Tao Marks, gradually materialized.

「Outside the entrance to the Green Dragon Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm.」

The Black Dragon Demon Saint was in high spirits, his laughter unceasing.

He was currently conversing with the Red Luck Demon Saint, Snow Moon Demon Saint, and other Demon Saints.

The old seniors who had once oppressed him with their seniority now had to flatter him, surrounding him with conversation.

This was because his adopted son was so promising that he could enter the Green Dragon Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm. After securing the Holy Artifacts he desired, he would strive to help these allies seize Holy Artifact materials.

These old seniors needed his help!

He, in this instance, was basking in Hong Yuan’s glory!

"I wonder if Guangqiao has gathered enough momentum," Red Luck Demon Saint said enviously, looking at the Black Dragon Demon Saint. "I imagine Guangqiao’s summoning into the Green Dragon Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm can only be within these next two days."

After all, he had devised various strategies to ensure his disciple, Li Jianqiu, would emerge as the final victor. He had even reached out to the Dragon God Sacred Land.

But some Demons, after all, could not be judged by common logic.

"Indeed, if Qingxue had even one-tenth of Guangqiao’s abilities, that would be great. Brother Xuan Qi, I think it’s about time for Guangqiao to settle down..."

Snow Moon Demon Saint hinted, appearing as though she wanted Hong Yuan to become her brother-in-law.

"Haha, no hurry, no hurry," the Black Dragon Demon Saint replied nonchalantly, laughing heartily.

In his heart, his adopted son "Xuan Guangqiao" was now a Supreme Talent.

Ji Qingxue wishes to form a matrimonial alliance with "Guangqiao"? It’s like a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh, utterly delusional!

Snow Moon Demon Saint was in no rush, continuing the conversation calmly.

For a time, the Demon Saints surrounded the Black Dragon Demon Saint, chatting and laughing harmoniously.

The feeling of being the center of attention thrilled the Black Dragon Demon Saint, making him quite pleased with himself.

However, three days passed, and Hong Yuan still had not summoned the Black Dragon Demon Saint.

Everyone assumed Hong Yuan was still accumulating momentum, solidifying the Green Dragon Saint Palace Token.

But the days ticked by to the fourth, then the fifth.

The Demon Saints began to whisper among themselves. They suspected that Hong Yuan had perhaps forgotten to summon the Black Dragon Demon Saint and did not respect him as much as he appeared to on the surface.

"Guangqiao must be entangled with some profound legacy; he definitely isn’t that kind of bad Demon!" the Black Dragon Demon Saint asserted with utter certainty, placing immense trust in Hong Yuan.

But no matter how much he believed, he could not dispel the other Demon Saints’ suspicions about his and Hong Yuan’s relationship.

BANG!

A shattering sound rang out from within Hong Yuan’s body.

At that moment, Hong Yuan’s Demonic Body thoroughly advanced to high-Fifth Rank, and his Tao Marks increased to nearly twenty thousand.

The delay in his breakthrough was mainly due to the addition of Tao Marks.

Ice Tao was the most abundant, followed by Water Tao, then Blood Tao, and so on.

[Name: Hong Yuan]

Looking at the Life Span column, Hong Yuan fell into contemplation.

The dream, does it still consume Life Span?

Before Hong Yuan could delve too deeply, an overwhelming force surged toward him, forcefully expelling him from the Huangqu River.

When Hong Yuan’s consciousness returned, he found himself in the Green Dragon Saint Palace.

WHOOSH—

A streak of azure light cut through the sky, heading straight for Hong Yuan.

Instinctively opening his hand, a token engraved with the image of a Green Dragon suddenly materialized in his palm.

The Green Dragon Token, used to summon a Saint.
