Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar
Chapter 313 - 303: Supreme Demon Dynasty, Profiting by Using Others’ Resources
"3,000 Food Tao Marks..."
"4,000 Food Tao Marks..."
"5,000 Food Tao Marks..."
"..."
In mid-air, Hong Yuan stood on the Purple Gold Ancient War Chariot, silently transforming the Blood Tao Marks into Food Tao Marks.
A great harvest, a great harvest!
If the Flood Gathering War Banner had not reached the level of a Holy Artifact, it would likely have been difficult to handle this complicated task.
Because the Blood Tao Marks were gathering too quickly.
In other words, the Zero Desolate Demon Soldiers under his command were shining brightly, beating the drowning dog!
Sometimes, the casualties inflicted during a pursuit were even higher than those caused during a retreat.
...
"Wind Blade Team, prepare!"
As a Demon General of the Zero Desolate Army, Hu Wan commanded with exhilaration, devoid of his previous indecision.
After Hong Yuan’s arrival, he knew the dynamics of attack and defense had changed.
Through the previous battles, Hong Yuan had undeniably left an image of an invincible overlord in the minds of the Zero Desolate Army’s Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals. This image was their motivation to hold their ground to this day.
"Everyone, push harder! It’s time to record your achievements!"
Hu Li also shouted loudly, following Hu Wan.
These Fox Cultivator Demon Soldiers, relying on Hu Wan’s Demon Skill, were arrayed in a single-file formation, condensing into a fierce and formidable aura of blood qi.
Upon hearing the Demon General’s order, these Fox Cultivator Demon Soldiers immediately used the Wind Blade Skill passed down within their tribe.
Following that, the Xuanwu Demon Soldiers saw these Demon Soldiers conjure wind portals in their palms, which formed green wind blades in the span of a breath.
Each of these wind blades was three feet long, entirely condensed from strong winds, and incredibly sharp.
"Rise!"
Demon General Hu Wan shouted again, a wide grin spreading across his face.
BOOM—
In an instant, hundreds of green wind blades launched simultaneously, tracing neat arcs in the sky.
The wind blades fell like torrential rain, swiftly reaping the lives of the Xuanwu Demon Soldiers.
The Sub-banners of the Flood Gathering War Banner emitted a faint black light, surreptitiously devouring the blood essence of the Demon Beasts, contributing to Hong Yuan’s growth.
Not only did Demon General Hu Wan accomplish great feats here, but the other Zero Desolate Demon Generals, especially those newly arrived from the Zero Desolate Reinforcement Army, were even more ruthless.
They had the fewest achievements, and if they didn’t make a name for themselves now, they feared the battle for the Ten Thousand Domains would be over before they could.
"Hahaha, see that? This is our Spirit Fox Island’s Wind Blade Team!"
"Wind Blade Team? Some paltry minor faction. Far from it! You’re nowhere near comparable to our clan’s Nine Poison Troops!"
With Hong Yuan at the helm, the Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals of the Zero Desolate Army were in high spirits. In contrast, those of the Xuanwu Army were dispirited, wishing their parents had given them an extra pair of wings to fly away.
For a time, this place turned into a sea of slaughter!
...
Above the firmament, Hong Yuan stood motionless at the forefront of the Purple Gold Ancient War Chariot, dominating the center.
Wild winds besieged him, causing his white hair to dance chaotically while his crimson eyes remained serene.
However, an unparalleled aura—one that could uproot mountains and swallow the sun and moon—seemed on the verge of bursting forth from him.
Behind the war chariot, Li Jianqiu, who was healing, watched this scene, her spirit swaying involuntarily.
Perhaps only such a peerless figure is capable of creating the Supreme Demon Dynasty... she reflected.
Li Jianqiu’s eyes rippled slightly.
But moments later, Li Jianqiu cut off all distracting thoughts, focusing wholeheartedly on observing Hong Yuan.
If she wanted to fully develop and perfect the Tai Chi Divine Map—a Great Divine Power that could harness the strength of all beings for her use—then Hong Yuan was undoubtedly her best subject of observation at present.
Hmm? Is Li Jianqiu creating a Divine Power? Hong Yuan’s gaze dropped slightly.
He silently activated the Myriad Silence Realm Divine Power to observe Li Jianqiu.
Among its multiple functions, what satisfied Hong Yuan most about the Myriad Silence Realm Divine Power was its ability to greatly enhance his perceptive domain, extending it as far as half a sea region.
At this moment, a faint, nearly invisible light floated out from Hong Yuan’s body, dissipating into the surroundings and rapidly expanding.
Li Jianqiu felt a slight sensation and looked up to survey her surroundings but detected nothing unusual. She then withdrew her attention and continued to perfect the Tai Chi Divine Map Divine Power, using Hong Yuan as a blueprint.
In front of the war chariot, from an angle Li Jianqiu couldn’t see, Hong Yuan’s sword-like eyebrows raised slightly in surprise.
He thought to himself:
Gathering the military power of the masses, the majestic aura of the Paramount sovereign...
The Luck Tao path... not only that, but it seems to also include... Rhythm Tao!?
This Li Jianqiu, she intends to create a Supreme Demon Dynasty, seizing the strength of all living beings for herself...
Rhythm Tao was known as one of the most mysterious major paths, rumored to have once produced a stunningly exceptional Great Emperor.
This Great Emperor, relying on the Power of Rhythm Tao, had even deduced the mysteries of heaven and earth and explored the secrets of immortality. Unfortunately, he ultimately died due to insufficient Life Span.
With his Great Emperor Level talent and aptitude, Hong Yuan clearly understood the concept behind Li Jianqiu’s Divine Power.
Furthermore, he even speculated on why Li Jianqiu would create such a Divine Power.
He recalled Li Jianqiu once saying to him, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west; never look down on a young person for being poor."
It now seemed Li Jianqiu was serious!
Supreme Demon Dynasty...
Stars twinkled in Hong Yuan’s crimson eyes as he thought quickly.
After a while, Hong Yuan shook his head, forced to abandon the idea of personally establishing the Supreme Demon Dynasty.
If he could survive the great calamity of the Human Martial Saints joining forces to annihilate him, he would certainly become the Demon Clan’s Son of Fortune.
At that point, he would only face even more vicious assassination attempts from the Human Race.
Since becoming the Son of Fortune of the Demon Clan was a destined, alternative path to Tao Achievement, there was absolutely no need for him to risk establishing a Supreme Demon Dynasty.
He just needed to remain secure in the Dragon God Sacred Land, bide his time until achieving that alternative Tao Achievement, and then it would be the moment to truly display his power!
However—
Hong Yuan’s gaze shifted, his thoughts changing.
My Life Span will definitely be longer than Li Jianqiu’s. I may not establish the Demon Dynasty myself, but I can inherit Li Jianqiu’s Demon Dynasty if she succeeds.
Perhaps I can even invest in her!
At this thought, the corners of Hong Yuan’s mouth lifted slightly.
To some extent, as long as Li Jianqiu walks the Great Taoism of establishing the Supreme Demon Dynasty, it would be as if I get to collect the profits without making any investment myself.
Life Span, the greatest anguish for these Supreme Talents, was Hong Yuan’s best friend.
Borrowing a hen to lay eggs!
After Li Jianqiu’s death, he, Hong Yuan, could step in and take full control of her Demon Dynasty; he could certainly afford to wait!
Previously, Li Jianqiu’s master had intended for Li Jianqiu to apply the "borrowing a hen to lay eggs" strategy to Hong Yuan.
But he could never have imagined that Hong Yuan would, in turn, use the same "borrowing a hen to lay eggs" ploy on Li Jianqiu.
「Behind the Ancient War Chariot.」
Li Jianqiu shuddered inexplicably and looked around hesitantly.
Finding nothing out of the ordinary, she refocused her mind and continued to perfect this Great Divine Power, the Tai Chi Divine Map.
...
「Dawn broke, cutting through the darkness.」
By noon, when the sun was high, the Zero Desolate Army began to sound the retreat and clear the battlefield.
Hong Yuan, too, was tallying his spoils.
His Life Span reached 3,000,000!
His Food Tao Tao Marks reached 20,000!
Even the barrier to breaking through the peak of the fifth order was wavering, the gates to advancing his Demonic Body swinging wide open.
It could only be said that Hong Yuan’s path of cultivating via the Blood Tao was exceedingly correct.
Moreover, he still had battle compensation to divide.
"You want the Time Light Divine Water?!"
The Time Worm Demon Saint cried out in shock, his usual composure completely gone.
