Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 249 - 239: Great Dream Through the Ages, Ominous Red Hair
Three years later, Hong Yuan finally learned that Tianli had entered the Nine Heavens Ancient Path—specifically, the Human Race’s Emperor’s Path.
For a moment, Hong Yuan fell silent.
He naturally understood the significance of the Nine Heavens Ancient Path, but he hadn’t expected Tianli to be so formidable as to reach the eighth rank in just over three hundred years.
That’s sick! Is this the treatment for the Heavenly Horned Ant of the Chosen Imperial Clan, plus being the Demon Clan’s current Son of Fortune? It really makes one green with envy.
Hong Yuan clenched his teeth, unable to stop himself from cursing loudly.
What kind of incredible Creation was this? Why couldn’t it have been bestowed upon Han Jiuming?
If it had been given to Han Jiuming, I would have gone full throttle and swept through the Endless Sea Area long ago!
Tianli, you bastard, you forced me to flee in desperation! Just wait until you’re dead—I’ll dance on your grave and utterly ruin your reputation!
Hong Yuan silently scribbled a few red X’s on a sheet of white paper.
This feeling of having the whole world as an enemy was truly awful.
But according to Master Heavenly River’s deductions, after surviving this calamity, the mantle of this era’s protagonist for the Demon Clan would fall to Han Jiuming.
A reckoning! A thorough, ruthless reckoning! Damn it, I refuse to believe you can truly become an emperor!
Hong Yuan gripped the brush so tightly it creaked as if about to break.
...
[First year upon reaching the Human Race’s Starry Sky Ancient Path: Tianli broke through Green Heaven, destroyed nine ancient Human Race cities, and his fame soared!]
Hong Yuan emotionlessly observed the record stone projection outside the Great Moon Virtual Mirror, where the specific details of this battle were recorded.
This record stone had fallen from the sky.
It wasn’t just this record stone that had fallen into this murky river; there were many record stones.
All of them recorded the heroic deeds of Tianli.
Let every corner of the Endless Sea Area know of your greatness, Tianli? No, this is about accumulating power to forge destiny!
Tianli, oh Tianli, what scheme are you plotting!?
Hong Yuan was filled with unease, a sense of urgency gripping his heart.
In this world, great fame could indeed be converted into tangible strength through certain Luck Tao methods.
I believe that Tianli’s order to the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land to orchestrate such a display was certainly not for mere vanity but for a specific purpose.
Could it be that to reverse the current of the Human Tao, he needs to gather the grand aspirations of all Demon Clan beings? The power of vows!? Hong Yuan narrowed his eyes.
At that moment, I recalled the Dragon God sacrificial rites in the real world.
I had also supervised the Demon Cultivators on Spirit Fox Island in establishing Dragon God temples, requiring them to perform sacrificial rites to the Dragon God day and night.
[Third year upon reaching the Human Race’s Starry Sky Ancient Path: Tianli broke through Blue Heaven, destroyed another nine ancient Human Race cities, and his might oppressed this realm.]
In the record stone’s image, Tianli swung his fists, instantly unleashing endless gales and waves. One punch obliterated a city, grinding the ancient Human Race cities to dust, while countless Martial Artists and Martial Saints perished.
A void appeared in Blue Heaven, where several terrifying Power Tao Marks lingered.
An average Martial Saint couldn’t even withstand a single ordinary punch from Tianli.
"HISS~" Hong Yuan sucked in a sharp breath. A monster like that is just too broken! Anyone who faces him is dead meat.
Picking up his teacup, Hong Yuan took a few gulps, finally managing to suppress the shock in his heart.
It had to be said, the threat Tianli posed to me was the greatest among all my opponents.
[Sixth year upon reaching the Human Race’s Starry Sky Ancient Path: The Elders of the Five Great Human Tribe Academies joined forces to confront Tianli, but ultimately Tianli still broke through Purple Heaven and reached Yellow Heaven.]
「The scene changed.」
Tianli stood with five indistinct figures, Elders from the Human Race Academies, in the vast expanse of Purple Heaven. Horrifying images swirled around their bodies; their every move seemed to cause small worlds to shatter and reform.
A heaven-shaking battle thus commenced.
The record stone couldn’t even capture their movements, only roughly showing Tianli dominating one-on-one, gaining the upper hand one-on-two, and fighting to a draw one-on-three...
Finally, Tianli’s figure was seen fleeing in a sorry state, with the Five Great Elders of the Human Race in hot pursuit.
Although there were no specific details, the extent of the damage to Purple Heaven alone was enough to understand the battle’s ferocity.
Witnessing this astonishing battle, Hong Yuan’s heart surged with emotion, and he downed several pots of strong liquor with gusto.
The Five Great Human Tribe Academies were established to counter the Demon Clan’s Three Great Holy Lands. The strength of the Human Race Elders should be on par with the Demon Clan’s Saint Lords, or even stronger due to the will of Heaven and Earth.
Yet, that bastard Tianli actually managed to fight five of them at once and escape with his life.
This guy is seriously overpowered; that’s the Heavenly Horned Ant for you! No wonder the Demon Clan would rather give up on the Dragon-transformed Demon Cultivators and gamble everything on him!
At this moment, Hong Yuan finally understood what it meant to be the protagonist of the Demon Clan’s era.
With such strength, it truly was a case of whoever came would die.
If Han Jiuming were also to be killed by Tianli, then perhaps Tianli could indeed reverse the tides of Heaven and Earth and recreate the world for the Demon Clan!
GLUG, GLUG.
Hong Yuan picked up a pot of strong liquor and gulped it down again.
I refuse to believe that you, Tianli, can truly defy the heavens and achieve the impossible!
Even though Tianli was at the zenith of his power, seemingly invincible, Hong Yuan wasn’t the least bit panicked.
Because according to records from later ages, Tianli was not a Great Emperor at all!
[Eightieth year upon reaching the Human Race’s Starry Sky Ancient Path: The Human Race laid a trap: three Quasi-Emperors, each wielding an Emperor Artifact, jointly besieged Tianli in Yellow Heaven.]
[Numerous Great Saints of the Demon Clan came to assist, and the battle raged on.]
[The Demon Clan was defeated. In his final moments, Tianli pushed his power to its absolute zenith, temporarily ascending to the Weird Enchanted realm.]
[He annihilated the three Quasi-Emperors, but in the end, ominous red fur grew all over his body.]
There was no record stone of this battle. However, various pieces of intelligence flew everywhere, and that was how Hong Yuan learned of it.
He, too, felt the intensity of this battle.
Because Yellow Heaven... had shattered!
Yellow Heaven had completely shattered into a mass of chaotic yellow qi, with only a small area remaining where ancient cities could be situated.
On that day, the sky flickered violently, and all sorts of terrifying auras emerged.
Visions of True Dragons, Phoenixes, Azure Lotuses, and other phenomena flashed one after another, striking terror into hearts, as if the apocalypse had arrived.
So that’s how Treasured Yellow Heaven came to be—from this great battle! No wonder no one could ever find its Cave Heaven.
But Tianli actually killed three Quasi-Emperors... Damn, that guy is truly ferocious.
Fortunately, he suddenly grew red fur. He won’t live much longer.
Finally, Hong Yuan stretched his arms languidly.
Growing red fur... Forget a Great Emperor; even a Mortal Immortal capable of Reflecting the Heavens would be extremely wary of it, let alone someone like Tianli.
This calamity is something Tianli absolutely cannot resolve!
This dream journey has to end sometime.
The grand stage of the Demon Clan... it’s time for "Han Jiuming" to make his entrance.
...
「Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land—Forbidden Zone.」
"AAAAAH!"
Shrill, horrifying screams echoed from within, so unsettling they could make one’s spirit tremble.
These wails came from Tianli.
At this moment, Tianli no longer possessed his former heroic, vibrant appearance.
His body was covered in red fur. He was as gaunt as a skeleton, his face haggard. No one would recognize him as the once-proud Heavenly Horned Ant of the Chosen Imperial Clan.
Ever since his brief ascension to the Unconventional Tao Realm, Tianli had unavoidably suffered the agony of Tao Marks.
Even after falling from the Unconventional Tao Realm, the red fur—a manifestation of that agonizing Tao Mark affliction—still clung to him, subjecting him to relentless torment.
He could only recuperate within the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land, absorbing Heavenly Origin Qi. He dared not leave, lest he perish from his Tao Mark injuries.
And these Tao Mark injuries were entirely due to the three Quasi-Emperors using Human Race Emperor Artifacts to trigger a backlash against him from the Dragon-transformed Demon Cultivators!
"Han Jiuming! Find me Han Jiuming!" Tianli roared madly.
Only by finding Han Jiuming could he deal with these Tao Mark injuries.
The moment Tianli uttered these words, the entire Endless Sea Area stirred into action, and even the Five Major Divine Continents of the Human Race began to move.
