Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 233 - 223: The Initial Display of Huangqu Array’s Might, The Struggle for the Protagonist of the Demon Clan Era
There were Transmission Arrays between the major sea regions, especially in the bustling seas adjacent to the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land.
However, Dragon-transformed Demon Cultivators like Hong Yuan were a different matter. Especially those who had fled from the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land, they had already been identified by the rulers of the central cities in each major sea region. Thus, they found it difficult to make their escape via Transmission Array.
With the power of a Transmission Array, Mo Yilun of the Ink Sea Kylin had already caught up to Hong Yuan and the other Demons with his followers.
Mo Yilun had even set up an ambush at a vital location that Hong Yuan had to pass on his way to the Huangqu River.
It was a sprawling expanse of Coral Ground that stretched for dozens of miles. Swift fish darted about, freely navigating through the beautiful Coral Ground to escape these unwelcome guests. The waves washed over, and thousands of elite Warriors stood in silence.
Ahead, dozens of Disciples from the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land closely surrounded Mo Yilun, monitoring the movements of Xue Shan, the Bloody River Python.
"Master, they’re about to arrive," remarked a Wisdom Tao Turtle Cultivator, fiddling with a divination disk and watching the movement of the red dot.
"Hmm, prepare the Kirinn Warriors," nodded Mo Yilun as he raised his hand.
This group of elite Kirinn Warriors was ready to strike, preparing to deliver a heavy blow to their opponents.
The Kirinn Warriors were an elite regiment assembled by Mo Yilun, his trump card in the battle for supremacy across the Ten Thousand Domains.
Once, relying on his Kirinn Warriors, he had decisively defeated another Demon Champion, claiming dominance over a territory.
If it weren’t for the emergence of Tianli of the Heavenly Horned Ant, the most notable Tao Species in the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land would have rightly been his!
"The Chosen Imperial Clan? Hmph." Mo Yilun clenched his fists until they creaked. "I’ve never believed in fate. The protagonists of an era must carve out their destiny with their own hands!"
「...」
Far away, Hong Yuan and the other Demons were forging ahead against the waves.
Although they were nervous, they were much more relaxed than when they first escaped the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land. This was because, at this moment, the formidable Demon Champion Hong Yuan was guarding their rear!
Watching Hong Yuan forge ahead, several female snake and python cultivators gazed at him with admiration.
The Demon Clan revered strength, and in these seven days, Hong Yuan had already conquered them with his power.
Suddenly, Hong Yuan halted the advance of the black-armored Water Beasts, gazing at the Coral Ground seabed ahead.
Quiet. Too quiet. Something is not right.
He channeled Demon Essence into the Flood Gathering War Banner, ready to activate the Ninety-Nine Huangqu Array at any moment, whether to confront the enemy or to escape for his life.
"Jiuning, what’s wrong?" inquired Xue Shan, the Bloody River Python, looking up at Hong Yuan.
Hong Yuan narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on Xue Shan, sending a shiver down the python’s spine.
Before they could say anything, the Coral Ground seabed suddenly split open. Waves erupted, and clouds of dust billowed, accompanied by roaring sounds.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
It turned out that Mo Yilun of the Ink Sea Kylin had decisively ordered the attack, even though Hong Yuan and the other Demons were not yet within range.
Darkness enveloped the seabed. Once the battle formation of the Ink Sea Kylin army activated, it seemed to devour the boundless seawater, transforming the area into an ancient killing field.
At that moment, countless streams of black light bombarded the area. It was as if a world was collapsing. The aura of death filled the air, causing the Dragon-transformed Demon Cultivators to tremble with fear.
"This, these are the Kirinn Warriors!"
"Not good, Mo Yilun must have come!"
The Dragon-transformed Demon Cultivators beside Hong Yuan panicked, nearly losing their composure. All of them turned their gazes toward Hong Yuan.
"Flood Gathering War Banner, Ninety-Nine Huangqu Array!"
Hong Yuan, already prepared, activated the array patterns on the Flood Gathering War Banner.
Beneath the sea, beams of light, either snow-white or water-blue, intersected to form a gigantic, three-dimensional Energy Array.
In the eyes of Mo Yilun and his men, blue and white light erupted, followed by a torrent of blue and white liquid that rapidly enveloped the surroundings.
Finally, as this blue and white liquid met the streams of black light midway, it solidified, transforming into various peculiar Water Beasts such as the Mysterious Water Snake and the Ice Armor Python.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A tremendous explosion thundered, dyeing the seabed region in shades of black and intermingled blue and white.
Beneath these Water Beasts, a terrifying Water Beast, the Cold Moon Dragon, with a body length of six hundred and sixty-six meters, slowly opened its eyes. It was as if a demon god was awakening. A powerful aura suddenly erupted, churning the Coral Ground Seabed for hundreds of miles around into utter chaos. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
"This... This is a fifth-level Energy Array!?" The Wisdom Tao Turtle Cultivator’s eyes bulged, his face etched with shock.
"Such profound good fortune!" Mo Yilun’s face showed a hint of surprise.
But soon, he gritted his teeth and said, "First was the rise of Tianli, and now another Han Jiuming? I do not believe it."
Even a cultivator like him, possessing Upper Three Tao Seeds, lacked the ability to inscribe a fifth-level Energy Array onto his own Tao Species.
Mo Yilun had always firmly believed he was the protagonist of this era for the Demon Clan.
Now, witnessing another rising star achieve something he himself could not, made him extremely resentful.
"AHHHH!" Mo Yilun roared furiously, his hair flying wildly.
Divine Power—Ink Sea Heavenly Sword!
He raised both hands high. Layers of Demon Essence surged over them, condensing into a massive, ink-black saber.
As the ink-black saber appeared, the surrounding sea seemed to groan under an unbearable burden, and faint cracks began to appear in the space near the ink-black saber.
The Wisdom Tao Turtle Cultivator and the other Demons had already retreated far away from Mo Yilun.
"This fluctuation—" Hong Yuan suddenly looked up. The next moment, a smile appeared on his face. "But this is just an Energy Array."
Divine Power—Myriad Silence Realm!
The Ninety-Nine Huangqu Array was suddenly bolstered by a high-tier energy source. Multiple Water Tao and Ice Tao Marks materialized, attaching themselves to the Water Beasts.
The body size of the Water Beast Cold Moon Dragon swelled from six hundred and sixty-six meters to eight hundred and eighty-eight meters in the blink of an eye.
The Water Beasts went into a frenzy. Turning the tables, they charged towards Mo Yilun and the other Demons.
Mo Yilun stared coldly at Hong Yuan, as if seeing Tianli’s shadow superimposed on him.
He roared, "I am the true protagonist of this era for the Demon Clan!"
The colossal ink-black saber sundered the ocean, silently slicing through all obstacles as it aimed for the Cold Moon Dragon.
BOOM!
A tremendous tremor reverberated as the colossal ink-black saber collided with the Cold Moon Dragon.
A terrifying and pure surge of power blasted the seawater apart, triggering massive waves that propagated in all directions.
Even tens of thousands of feet deep on the seabed, a vacuum devoid of seawater was blasted into existence!
The Cold Moon Dragon was forced back, its massive form tumbling downwards, its sharp horn half-shattered.
「...」
As this massive tremor shook the seabed and reverberated through the nearby sea regions, Tianli of the Heavenly Horned Ant, who had just emerged from a Transmission Array, showed a dramatic change in expression.
His leisurely demeanor vanished as he looked up towards the source of the commotion.
In the current situation, where even Saints are constrained and unwilling to act rashly, only figures at the Upper Three Tao Species level could instigate a battle of this magnitude!
Tianli’s gaze seemed to pierce through an infinite distance, allowing him to witness the great battle between Mo Yilun and Hong Yuan.
"I’ll go first, everyone else follow!" Tianli of the Heavenly Horned Ant quickly ordered.
The Heavenly Horned Ant leaped forth, immediately jumping onto an ordinary withered leaf.
WHIRLING...
He then rode this withered leaf, streaking towards the region of Hong Yuan and Mo Yilun’s battle at extreme speed.
「...」
「Coral Ground Seabed.」
Under numerous watchful eyes, the colossal ink-black saber instantly pierced through the Cold Moon Dragon, utterly annihilating it.
"The current Ninety-Nine Huangqu Array is still somewhat lacking," Hong Yuan sighed lightly.
In an instant, Hong Yuan’s gaze turned resolute. He released the Flood Gathering War Banner, allowing it to operate on its own.
Even though the Ninety-Nine Huangqu Array was severely damaged by the ink-black saber, Hong Yuan remained unfazed.
"Divine Power—Cold Moon Seal!"
