Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 244 - 234 The Evil Guest Arrives, Calamity Temporarily Subsides
The Huangqu River had been visited by several Demon Saints, unwelcome guests.
These Demon Saint intruders were each responsible for a different area, setting up a sweeping net of pursuit.
Even a wisp of Qing Feng had to withstand their relentless attacks.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A series of explosions echoed one after another, destroying various precious structures along the Huangqu River.
"Han Jiuming, you coward, come out! Come out now!" Mo Yilun bellowed furiously.
He swung out a dark, ink-like blade of light. With a thunderous crash, Falling Star Cliff collapsed instantly.
Still not appeased, Mo Yilun revealed his True Body and unleashed his Divine Power.
Saint-level power ravaged the Huangqu River, shattering one ownerless Holy Array after another.
He continued to shower insults upon "Han Jiuming":
"Han Jiuming, you’re just a weakling, a rat!"
"Fuck your mother thousands upon thousands of times, in every position, over and over again!"
"..."
At this moment, Mo Yilun had no trace of a Demon Saint’s demeanor; he resembled a shrew.
His behavior made several Demon Saints feel ashamed.
However, when the Demon Saints turned their gaze to Green Heaven, they suddenly fell silent. Above them, in Green Heaven, both Heavenly Horned Ant Tianli and Golden Roc Grand Saint were holding their positions, overseeing the operation.
"Nothing to the east..."
"Nothing to the west..."
After a while, apart from Mo Yilun’s continuous ranting, the Demon Saints from the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land all fell silent.
They hadn’t seen any trace of Hong Yuan, nor had they found any sign of Hong Yuan’s Demon Realm.
"Search again," Tianli ordered calmly. "This time, scorch the rivers and boil the seas. Find every single corner for me."
Tianli wore the distinctive leather robe of the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land. It was a long-sleeved creation of purple and gold, its edges embroidered in black, exuding an aura of authority and dominance.
A pitch-black cauldron was tied to his waist, and his dense, dark hair fluttered in the wind, wild and untamed.
The aura of a tyrant emanated from him.
Even Golden Roc Grand Saint, an eighth-tier Demon Saint, was outshone by Tianli’s radiance.
"Yes." "Mhm." "Hmph..."
Upon receiving the command, the multitude of Demon Saints, as if a seal had been broken, began to unleash their abilities.
Vast divine rainbows, world-ending flames, boundless thunderstorms...
All sorts of incredibly explosive attacks descended upon the Huangqu River and the Heavenly River Cave Mansion.
In an instant, a violent, dry crackling sound filled the air as the very space began to tremble, revealing gaping spatial rifts like deep pits.
The intense gravity from the spatial rifts devoured everything, and the Huangqu River completely collapsed.
"Something’s not right, very not right," Golden Roc Grand Saint frowned slightly. "How could that fellow, Heavenly River, not leave any countermeasures? This isn’t like him."
Every inch of space had been assaulted, territories shattered, and the great river evaporated.
Yet still, there was no trace of Hong Yuan.
The Demon Saints, as if by unspoken agreement, halted their pursuit, hovering in the air.
"Has Han Jiuming escaped?"
"Master Heavenly River truly is a great Master, his methods are formidable indeed."
"AAARGH! Damn you, Han Jiuming!"
The Demon Saints buzzed with discussion, exchanging their thoughts. Mo Yilun, who held an old grudge against "Han Jiuming," was especially infuriated, grinding his teeth in anger.
「Above Green Heaven.」
Upon learning that "Han Jiuming" had fled the Huangqu River, Tianli’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile touched his lips. Interesting. The final opponent is indeed troublesome, but this only makes the hunt all the more savory.
Tianli turned to address several Demon Saints behind him, "Elders, I’ll leave what comes next to you."
These Demon Saints were precisely those who specialized in the Wisdom Tao, Soul Tao, and Luck Tao.
...
「Meanwhile.」
In a valley lush with clear waters and green mountains, located in the innermost space of the Great Moon Virtual Mirror, the deputy command token for the Huangqu River’s water vein shattered, completely turning into sand that drifted away with the wind.
"Trouble at the Huangqu River... Tianli, Tianli," Hong Yuan murmured several times, his eyes filled with intense ferocity.
This was the first time since his debut that he had encountered a Heavenly Talent so terrifying that it forced him to retreat from the world.
JANGLE! JANGLE!—
Suddenly, the Great Moon Virtual Mirror began to tremble violently.
It’s under attack!
Hide. Hong Yuan closed his eyes tightly, forming Tao Seals with all his strength to defend.
The Great Moon Virtual Mirror glowed with a clear light, shielding heavenly secrets.
In that moment, the Great Moon Virtual Mirror demonstrated its formidable power as a Holy Artifact in the art of concealment.
Only a Holy Artifact could contend with another Holy Artifact.
But the prerequisite for dealing with a Holy Artifact was knowing its functions.
「Above Green Heaven.」
PFFT!
A massive Purple Luan suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of rich heart’s blood.
Seeing this, Golden Roc Grand Saint’s face darkened slightly. "This Han Jiuming is not an easy opponent."
"Haha, now this is interesting. It also shows that the Luck Tao Han Jiuming carries is quite substantial," Tianli said, his eyes narrowed into a smile, though the greedy and domineering nature in his words was fully apparent.
Tianli turned to look at the Fiery Turtle Demon Saint. "Elder, I hope you will make a move." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
The Fiery Turtle Demon Saint was a seventh-tier Wisdom Tao Master. Deducing the whereabouts of a sixth-tier Demon Saint was typically well within his grasp.
The master of the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land’s Demon-Trapping Tower was none other than the Fiery Turtle Demon Saint. The once arrogant Blood Wolf Demon Saint had been captured by a team led by him.
"Mm, I understand," the Fiery Turtle Demon Saint nodded slightly.
He threw out several wooden flags and immediately activated his Wisdom Tao Divine Power to deduce Hong Yuan’s whereabouts.
The flags interwove, emitting clashing and clanking sounds.
However, after a short while, the Fiery Turtle Demon Saint opened his eyes in bewilderment.
Nothing. Empty. Utterly empty.
"I can’t deduce even a sliver of information," the Fiery Turtle Demon Saint said, puzzled. "It’s as if Han Jiuming has infinite possible destinations, yet at the same time, it’s as if he has gone nowhere at all."
Golden Roc’s face turned grim. "This is probably Master Heavenly River’s contingency plan!"
At this moment, Tianli’s smile vanished. He could feel the threat emanating from Hong Yuan.
Finally, Tianli looked hopefully towards a Soul Tao Master—the Blue Tiger Demon Saint.
"Elder, I must trouble you," Tianli requested.
"If that is the case, then this old one shall have to make an attempt," the Blue Tiger Demon Saint said, setting down his cane and beginning to cast his spell.
At this moment, all the Demon Saints present turned their gaze towards the Blue Tiger Demon Saint.
The Soul Tao Sect was a relatively new school of power, its methods enigmatic and largely unknown.
They also wanted to take this opportunity to glean some insight into the depths of the Soul Tao.
After all, battles between Demon Saints were not just about combat power, but also about intelligence.
DRONNNNE...
Behind the Blue Tiger Demon Saint, a vast, sky-obscuring dark light arose. Within this dark light, countless demon souls and human souls emerged.
Soul Tao Divine Power—The Tiger’s Ghostly Thralls!
GASP!
The Demon Saints all drew a sharp breath, astonished by the Blue Tiger Demon Saint’s technique.
Even Tianli narrowed his eyes, evidently intending to create soul power himself.
"Heh, go!" The Blue Tiger Demon Saint swung his arm forward, pushing the dark light.
The dark light moved.
It surged like an ocean, engulfing the remnants of the Huangqu River below.
Objects, auras, Tao Marks, traces...
All such things were devoured by the dark light.
After a while, the Blue Tiger Demon Saint also opened his eyes, equally bewildered.
"A man leaves his voice, a goose leaves its mark. Han Jiuming’s aura and traces are completely gone, as if he’s not of this world!"
Hong Yuan’s Original Body was that of a complete Extraterrestrial Demon; his tracks were without trace, his origin undiscoverable.
Let alone the Blue Tiger Demon Saint, not even the Emperor Artifact, the Destiny Mirror, could pinpoint Hong Yuan’s whereabouts.
Hearing the Blue Tiger Demon Saint’s words, Golden Roc Grand Saint’s expression changed drastically.
He gritted his teeth. "Heavenly River, oh, Heavenly River, even in death, you refuse to let me have my way! Is this your contingency plan?!"
Tianli’s expression was stern, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light. "A rat? Han Jiuming is definitely no mere rat!"
After this incident, Tianli finally began to truly acknowledge Hong Yuan, no longer considering him a mere rat.
「A quarter hour later.」
The Demon Saints of the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land departed from the Huangqu River in dribs and drabs.
The Huangqu River was now a void, transformed into a deep, collapsed pit.
It was no longer the Huangqu River.
...
Within the Great Moon Virtual Mirror, the piercing alarm finally ceased.
Hong Yuan slowly opened his eyes and quietly exhaled a turbid breath.
I’ve finally passed the first major hurdle. Next, I just need to continue to lie low patiently.
「Meanwhile.」
In the real world, the sleeping Avatar of the Ice Armor Python underwent a sudden transformation.
Surging Vitality Storms converged upon the Ice Armor Python Avatar, amplifying its aura.
The Ice Armor Python was about to break through from the peak of the fourth tier to the fifth tier!
