Chapter 317: Chapter 307: The Four Directional Overlords, Destiny is in Me!

Just over ten thousand Food Tao marks, this time’s harvest is so much lower...

Hong Yuan sat high in the sky, looking down at the Zero Desolate Army of Demon Soldiers and Generals cleaning up the battlefield.

As of now, he had just over forty thousand Food Tao marks in total. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Even though his Food Tao marks were Extraterrestrial Tao Marks and gave him greater enhancements than other schools, other young Demon Emperors in the Demon Realm started with at least a hundred thousand Tao marks.

He, Hong Yuan, had a long way to go before he could be considered a true Young Emperor.

Involuntarily, Hong Yuan recalled the Heavenly Horned Ant Young Emperor he had encountered during his Power Tao Avatar’s tribulation.

A hundred thousand Power Tao marks in motion, his punch came out like a dragon, suppressing mountains and rivers!

Phew, I’d better thoroughly explore the remaining three Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realms,

Hong Yuan clenched his fists, silently setting his goal in his heart.

「...」

The bustling and noisy logistics camp.

Demon Soldiers and Generals clad in various armors came and went. They were all there to account for their battle merits and vie for the qualification to enter the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realms.

Indeed, through battle merits, one could change their family’s social tier.

But the greatest opportunity in the battle for the Ten Thousand Domains ultimately lay in the Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realms!

And with the multitude of Demon Soldiers and Generals in the Zero Desolate Army, it was utterly impossible for every Demon to enter the Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realms.

"Hey, little fox, did you count wrong? With so many of my merits, how could I possibly be ranked behind the hundred thousand mark?" a puzzled Yanxiu Demon Soldier asked.

He was a veteran from the Vermilion Bird Army, never absent from any battle, big or small. Even if he didn’t have achievements, he had put in the effort. Ranking behind the hundred thousand mark, how was he supposed to enter the Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm?

"Your merits were not calculated by me, but by the Ju Hong Battle Merit Rankings," Huan Shuangmeng said with annoyance. "You can only participate in entering the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm. Do you want to exchange merits for the qualification?"

Each Demon Soldier and General thought she, Huan Shuangmeng, was miscalculating their merits, shortchanging them. It was laughable. If she, Huan Shuangmeng, really had the authority to determine merits, she would have already added plenty to the members of her own Spirit Fox Island clan.

"Exchange? Of course, I want to exchange!" the Yanxiu Demon Soldier confirmed with a nod.

The Vermilion Bird Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm was rich with various flying beast Demon Cultivator inheritances and even had the presence of Holy Artifacts and Demon Saint inheritances.

He did not expect to obtain a Holy Artifact or Demon Saint inheritance. However, if he could get the legacy of a fifth-tier Demon, it would be like defying the heavens and changing his destiny!

"Hey, hurry up, I also want to exchange merits," urged the Demon Soldier queuing behind, looking eager.

Even though Hong Yuan had opened nine camps for the accounting of battle merits and the exchange of various rewards, the post-battle work was still very tense.

「...」

While the battle merit work was in full swing, Hong Yuan also refined the Ocean Water Orders for the White Tiger Battle Zone.

It took only three days for him to complete this task.

"ROAR—" The Fortune Dragon-transforming White Python roared in the sky, striking at the last piece of Water Order transformed into a White Tiger with bared teeth and claws.

Hong Yuan looked at the Dragon-transforming White Python with great expectation.

However, when the Dragon-transforming White Python had devoured the Fortune White Tiger, it still hadn’t completely evolved into a Fortune True Dragon, sending his heart sinking.

How could this be? The Fortune True Dragon still lacks a pair of claws.

Just like Tianli in the past, I am incomplete, an imperfect Son of Fortune. Just a little more, and my Demonic Body could be the unquestioned Destiny of this generation’s Demon Clan.

To be complete, I must declare my intent to heaven and earth. Could it be that I really need to return to the Zero Desolate Sea Area? But the Human Race has long been watching that place closely...

Hong Yuan’s eyelids drooped, and a flicker of light flashed in and out of his fiery red pupils.

Above his head loomed a white Fortune True Dragon.

Upon close observation, it had antlers like a deer, a camel’s head, rabbit eyes, a snake’s neck, a clam’s belly, fish scales, eagle claws, tiger paws, and cow ears.

But this Fortune True Dragon was missing two hind claws, making its evolution incomplete!

At this moment, Hong Yuan felt the immense pressure the Human Race was putting on him.

The Human Race had calculated his demise.

If he willingly gave up, then just the backlash of the huge collective fortune of the Demon Clan would be enough to make his Demonic Body sprout red hair.

He would learn what Tao Marks injuries were like, just as Tianli had suffered from the backlash back then.

But he refused to give up, so he had to face the astonishing assassination plot of the Human Race!

I’ve become a hegemon in all four directions and demonstrated such great value, why hasn’t the Demon Clan come for me yet? Don’t tell me I’ll have to withstand this alone...

Under the heavy pressure of the Human Race, Hong Yuan began to seek the protection of the Demon Clan.

He knew well from what he learned from the Sword Tao Incarnation that the Human Race had put in so much effort to kill his Demonic Body.

Such a grand scheme, my Demonic Body will find it hard to withstand.

"ROAR—" Just at this moment, the slightly damaged Fortune True Dragon, feeling Hong Yuan’s thoughts, roared in the sky under his astonished gaze, radiating multicolored divine light. The next moment, a letter carrying the aura of the Black Dragon Demon Saint descended slowly from the sky and landed in Hong Yuan’s hands.

With a sweep of white light, Hong Yuan immediately grasped the contents of the letter.

The tense string in his heart also relaxed slightly, as if relieved of a heavy burden.

Demon Palace Order... A Master from the Demon Palace personally comes forth to assist me...

Indeed, the path I chose to become a hegemon in all four directions was not wrong; my value is enough to move those old immortals.

Phew~ Even if I have a Master’s protection, to be cautious, I must also strive towards the Demon Saint Realm. Getting stronger is always the right decision.

Hong Yuan thought to himself.

He looked at the incomplete Fortune True Dragon, his eyes flickering with light.

The strength of the Demon Clan’s Destiny was more exaggerated than he had imagined.

「...」

The spring day was brilliant, and the sun was shining brightly.

Under a large banyan tree, butterflies danced and dragons frolicked, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

"Bo Qing, at most three more years, Xuan Guangqiao will return to this place,"

"By then, there will certainly be old immortals from the Demon Clan who will volunteer to become the Protectors of Xuan Guangqiao."

"The war in a few years will definitely be a colossal battle, and even I cannot guarantee my own survival."

"After the battle begins, you absolutely must not show yourself. Remember to stay close to the Green Lamp Buddha."

"Survive, and this great battle will become the nourishment for your cultivation. With your talent, you can absolutely break through the barrier of the seventh order. Even becoming an eighth-order big shot is not out of the question..."

Under the shade of the tree, the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint instructed Hong Yuan’s Sword Tao Incarnation in detail.

The Butterfly Sword Martial Saint had a natural affinity for Hong Yuan’s Sword Tao Incarnation. This was perhaps because both were rare Martial Saints who primarily practiced Sword Tao and supplemented it with Transformation Tao.

During the almost five years in the Endless Sea Area, the two had also built a certain friendship.

Listening to the words of the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint, Hong Yuan nodded solemnly, "Limin, I understand. You should also be careful."

Butterfly Sword Martial Saint, whose real name was Ji Limin, was a Martial Saint from the Southern Border Divine Continent Academy, presumably a delegate of the Human Clan Sky Palace.

"Hehe, I know."

The Butterfly Sword Martial Saint patted Hong Yuan’s shoulder, laughing while transforming into a ray of light that dissipated into the Treasured Yellow Heaven.

As one who held the Heavenly Palace Order, the responsibilities she bore were extraordinarily great.

Hong Yuan gazed at the spot where the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint had been sitting. If you knew that Xuan Guangqiao was another me... No, since I’ve disguised myself, I’ll keep up this act for a lifetime. Unless absolutely necessary, my Sword Tao Incarnation will only be known as Bo Qing.
