Chapter 160: Chapter 159 Living Up to the Name "Gluttonous Snake

The progress of the Demon Beast Hong Yuan was astonishingly remarkable, especially when the frost-white horns on his head became visible, triggering round after round of heated discussions.

"Xuan Guangqiao has grown horns, look, Xuan Guangqiao has grown horns!"

"HISS... It has been said, ’When a python grows horns, it transforms into a Flood Dragon.’ Could it be that Xuan Guangqiao has touched upon the Flood Dragon realm?"

"Impossible. As far as I remember, Xuan Guangqiao is only a third-rank Demon. The Flood Dragon realm is a domain at the level of a Demon Saint."

"Looking at it this way, Xuan Guangqiao really might have a chance to compete with Li Jianqiu for the ’Ten-Thousand Souls’ opportunity."

Many Demons on Dragon Star Main Island were amazed at the achievements Hong Yuan had obtained, and some even believed that Hong Yuan’s talent was not inferior to Li Jianqiu’s.

For the elder Demons who understood the ins and outs, they knew early on that Li Jianqiu was favored by some old monsters in the Dragon God Sacred Land and was a strong contender for the new generation of Tao Species.

Being able to compete with Li Jianqiu, Hong Yuan’s performance was not bad at all!

Everyone expected Hong Yuan to leave the Silver Land. They thought he would become the second monstrous talent to set foot in The Golden Land and compete with Li Jianqiu. However, Hong Yuan did not follow their scenario. Instead, he stayed in the Silver Land, scavenging Soul Beasts with tens to over a hundred times their Soul Foundation.

...

...

BOOM!

The sound of the wind howled in his ears as Hong Yuan rode the clouds and fog, carrying the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning with him, comfortably soaring through the sea of clouds.

At this moment, Hong Yuan was as majestic as an ancient Flood Dragon on a journey.

Of course, Hong Yuan could not possibly enter The Golden Land immediately after stepping into the realm of the Thousand Pythons; after all, the despicable old woman Li Jianqiu was there.

Most importantly, he was known as the ’Gluttonous Snake,’ with a devouring and digestive ability far surpassing his contemporary Heavenly Talents. It would be a real waste of his reputation as ’Gluttonous Snake’ not to scoff every bit of resource in the Silver Land clean.

Qingyu Sea? Hong Yuan looked down at the sea of bronze below, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Messenger Wan Xuerou had also explained the Qingyu Sea to him. It mostly comprised Soul Beasts with tens to over a hundred times their Soul Foundation. Those with over a hundred times were extremely rare.

"Even small fish and shrimp are meat and cannot be overlooked," Hong Yuan said, his fangs protruding slightly, appearing somewhat fierce.

Flood Dragons were synonymous with brutality and ferocity, and the current Hong Yuan was already beginning to show a bit of their style.

With a twist of his python body, Hong Yuan immediately plunged towards the Qingyu Sea.

No sooner had he descended over the sea than Hong Yuan decisively activated the Demon Skill "Cold Wind Frozen Rain."

The chilly Cold Wind swept through, causing the bronze seawater to roil.

Thick dark clouds gathered, and the dripping, cold drizzle transformed into a torrential downpour. The Qingyu Sea emitted crackling freezing sounds. Soul Beasts still in the sea were instantly frozen, becoming ice sculptures.

This place had effectively become another Ice Frost River!

Hong Yuan turned his python head slightly, let out a soft hiss, then calmly and composedly entered the Qingyu Sea, as if strolling in his own courtyard.

The moment he touched the ice layer, Hong Yuan merged into it like icy water, easily entering the frozen Qingyu Sea.

He swam freely through the Qingyu Sea, now full of frost ice chunks, opening his gaping maw toward those Soul Beasts frozen in ice.

CRACK.

With a powerful swallowing sound, Hong Yuan feasted like a big eater at a buffet, enjoying the delicacies to his heart’s content.

The frozen Blue Rain Fish, Blue Rain Armor Turtle, and other Soul Beasts within the ice sculptures wore various expressions. Clearly, they had been frozen by Hong Yuan’s "Cold Wind Frozen Rain" Demon Skill before they even had a chance to react.

This was normal; the difference in strength between them was too great.

For one, Hong Yuan, with his thousand-fold Soul, should not still be venturing in the Silver Land, as his strength was seriously off the charts there.

Secondly, the Demon Skill Cold Wind Frozen Rain was a move Hong Yuan had painstakingly researched. He had spent a great price to integrate it, and it had become even more powerful after awakening as an Innate Ability.

[Soul Tao +102]

[Soul Tao +523]

When he devoured a Soul Beast that increased his Soul Tao by 523 points, Hong Yuan paused for a moment, glancing at the food in his mouth.

A Hundred-fold Soul Realm Blue Rain Tiger Shark... I didn’t expect to kill it so easily. The Demon Skill Cold Wind Frozen Rain is really powerful.

Hong Yuan silently praised it and then continued to devour.

With the appetite of a "Gluttonous Snake," it took him a full hour to consume most of the Soul Beasts in this Qingyu Sea.

Roughly counting, he ate nearly a thousand Soul Beasts.

Only about a dozen Soul Beasts were at the Hundred-fold Soul Realm, while the others were Soul Beasts with Soul Realms of a dozen-odd times or several tens of times their Soul Foundation.

When Hong Yuan concentrated on the proficiency panel, his serpentine brows slightly raised in surprise.

[School: Soul Tao (Grandmaster 1%) → Soul Tao (Grandmaster 1.5%)]

I’ve eaten so much, only to increase by 0.5%! Why is the progress so slow?

But I clearly feel that my Soul Foundation has increased by more than seven hundred times, reaching one thousand seven hundred...

It took a while for Hong Yuan to reluctantly accept this reality.

Indeed, after the Grandmaster Realm in any school comes the Grandmaster and Supreme Grandmaster.

Moreover, the Supreme Grandmaster Realm is a necessary condition for achieving the Great Emperor Position. If one could reach the Supreme Grandmaster Realm in a certain school through a single Heart-questioning Trial, then Great Emperor Positions would be far too common.

Supreme Grandmaster, Great Emperor State, Hong Yuan silently contemplated these terms.

Unbidden, he thought of the Soul Killing Demon Emperor, a Supreme Grandmaster of Soul Tao.

The Soul Killing Demon Emperor achieved his Emperor Rank in the Western Desert Divine State, and his propensity for killing could be called the greatest of all emperors in history.

During the era when the Soul Killing Demon Emperor reigned, he spilled so much blood that the Endless Sea Area lost its light. Even the Ninth Heaven and the Five Lands, where the Human Race lived, were slaughtered by him.

His craziest attempt was to create the Killing Tao school, wanting to use it to attain the Eternity Realm—the state of undying immortality. Fortunately, the Killing Tao school never took shape, as the heavens and earth did not recognize it. Even so, that era was considered the darkest time for both the Human Race and the Demon Clan!

The Soul Killing Demon Emperor wanted to use killing to attain eternity; truly a blend of talent and demonic nature, Hong Yuan gently shook his snake head, a smile appearing on his lips. "The Killing Tao is too difficult. Food Tao is better."

Food Tao is a school lost in the river of time. However, Hong Yuan felt he bore at least several Tao Marks of the Food Tao; otherwise, his "Gluttonous Snake’s" remarkable digestion and transformation abilities should not exist.

With a flick of his python tail, Hong Yuan broke through the ice.

Once again riding the clouds and weaving through the mist, carrying the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning as he soared through the sea of clouds, he continued his hunt in the Silver Land.

In some ways, Hong Yuan’s killing nature was also quite heavy.

...

...

A towering and majestic Star Building reached into the clouds.

It was surrounded by numerous altars, like stars revolving around the moon, paying homage to it.

The dim, heavy sky twinkled with starlight. Surprisingly, the lights were red and purple. This red and purple luminescence flickered, illuminating the building.

This was a place like a vast sea of stars; even the building itself was filled with stars.

This was the inner courtyard, the Demon Realm of the Dragon God Sacred Land.

It was a den for a group of old Demon Beasts who held significant influence in the Demon Clan. It housed nearly a hundred Demon Saints, each occupying a Star Pavilion or an altar within the Star Building.

In one of the Star Pavilions, adorned with carvings of various leaping carp, hung a hazy signboard emblazoned with three large characters—"Purple Fate Pavilion."

The owner of this place, Purple Fate, was a Seventh Order Luck Tao Demon Saint with a formidable reputation across the Demon Clan.

He stood tall, dressed in long, pale purple robes, his fiery red hair cascading to the ground.

At this moment, Purple Fate was operating a Holy Artifact, the Star Plate, watching the images displayed on it.

His eyes were fiery red, his gaze deep, as if he could see through everything.

Jianqiu’s fortune has suddenly fallen. This is not in line with the great trend, especially since Jianqiu is a Destined Demon, meant to lead the era.

The root of it all lies with this Xuan Guangqiao! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Brother Xuan Qi, it seems this is your way of facing the tribulation.

Looking at Hong Yuan moving through the Silver Land, Purple Fate seemed to see the Black Dragon Demon Saint’s layout and plans. Involuntarily, his lips curled into a slightly smug smile.
