Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 562 - 421: I Became a Super Big Villain!?

Dawn broke, and the sunlight was just right. The clouds and mist slowly dispersed, revealing the deep blue sky.

Nine young men and women, each with handsome appearances and unique expressions, were now gathered before the Demon Slaying Hall.

Within the Central Region Academy's Demon Slaying Hall was stored the Original Body of the Fate Guardian Artifact: The Demon Slaying List.

The Demon Slaying Hall was solemn and majestic, guarded by two Great Saints.

A glance inside would reveal the current eighty-one Supreme Talents of the Demon Clan.

At the very top of the list, its name blazed: the Destiny of the Demon Clan—Xuan Guangqiao!

[Demon Slaying List Number One: Xuan Guangqiao, Destiny of the Demon Clan. Original Form: Cold Moon Dragon. Cultivation: Sixth-Stage Saint.]

[Primary Cultivation Path: Unknown, suspected Food Tao. Possesses over three hundred thousand Tao Marks and Heaven-tier Divine Powers.]

[Equipped with three Holy Artifacts, including Sound Tao, Water Tao...]

[Kill Reward: Ancient scripture of the Soul Killing Emperor, Emperor Artifact Soul Killing Banner.]

[Recommendation: This fiendish demon possesses heaven-defying combat strength. Only Great Saints should attempt engagement. Proceed with extreme caution!!!]

[...]

Compared to the other Supreme Talents of the Demon Clan, Xuan Guangqiao occupied an entire page. This page detailed not only Xuan Guangqiao's glorious battle achievements and habits but also his physical appearance.

Xuan Guangqiao wore a purple-gold dragon robe. He had handsome features and a tall, straight posture, like a spear or a sword. His white hair cascaded over his shoulders like a waterfall. His crimson pupils seemed to hold the Star River, where worlds cyclically met their demise and rebirth.

A single glance at the portrait conveyed an overwhelming, uniquely dominant aura that emanated from Xuan Guangqiao, striking awe and fear into the hearts of onlookers.

The nine youths gazed at this portrait, varied expressions in their eyes.

Descendant of the Great Moon Rebel Dragon, I will kill you! This was the silent vow of Xiao Yuan, a descendant of the Soul Killing Demon Emperor, who yearned to wash away the humiliation staining his lineage.

He's truly handsome, perhaps even more so than I am, tsk tsk... Shang Yaoqin, with her peculiar way of thinking, mused, desiring to compare her beauty with Xuan Guangqiao's.

Sunlight streamed down, bathing Hua Menghuang's figure in an added layer of radiance. Gazing at Xuan Guangqiao's portrait, Hua Menghuang's eyes grew resolute, and the Dream Sword, her Holy Artifact, thrummed with focused intent within her.

After a long moment, Hua Menghuang exhaled a turbid breath and vowed silently, Xuan Guangqiao, I will vanquish you. I absolutely will.

「On the other side.」

Hong Yuan stared at the portrait of his own Demonic Body, an indescribable emotion surging within his heart.

Have I become the arch-villain everyone is so eager to eliminate?! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

...

"Very good. You are all like the nascent morning sun, a fresh hope," Mou Liang Great Saint declared, quite pleased with the vitality and spirit of the nine Great Dream Seeds. His tone lifted slightly as he spoke.

"Today is the Awakening Ceremony, a major turning point in your lives, and also the first time the nine of you will clash."

"I won't say more; your masters have surely briefed you."

"Let us begin then."

With that, Mou Liang Great Saint waved the pristine white feather fan in his hand.

SWISH...

Instantly, white feathers fluttered down, landing on the ground and forming a profoundly mystical Taiji Yin Yang Fish Tao Seal that swirled on the floor.

The Tao Seal expanded, stretching upwards and transforming into a pair of bronze doors.

The bronze doors slowly parted, revealing the environment within. It was unmistakably a Cave Heaven, brimming with immortal mist and suffused with divine radiance!

Feeling the primordial aura emanating from within, Hong Yuan's pupils contracted sharply. A Quasi-Emperor level Cave Heaven? What an extravagant display!

To awaken the potential of the nine Great Dream Seeds, the Human Clan Sky Palace had actually spared no expense, utilizing a Quasi-Emperor level Cave Heaven of profound and ancient power.

An inexplicable pressure settled upon Hong Yuan.

The bronze doors continued to widen, but Mou Liang Great Saint was already urging the youths to proceed.

"The path lies at your feet. Go!" Mou Liang Great Saint said with a beaming smile.

While the other young men and women were still observing, Hua Menghuang took the lead and charged straight in, displaying a domineering spirit, daring to be the first.

Xiao Yuan, Shi Xiangmin, Shang Yaoqin, Tang Tianlong, and the other Great Dream Seeds were not to be outdone, each stepping through the bronze doors into the Quasi-Emperor level Cave Heaven.

Just as the nine Great Dream Seeds had entered, the bronze doors suddenly erupted in white light, projecting nine light screens.

These nine light screens clearly displayed real-time images of the nine Great Dream Seeds!

From these screens, everyone could observe: Hua Menghuang had arrived at a river, Xiao Yuan at a forest, and Shang Yaoqin in a desert...

The environments for each of the nine Great Dream Seeds were distinct, as if they had been guided into nine separate channels.

Surprisingly, however, all nine paths converged at the same destination!

"Qing..." Butterfly Sword Martial Saint murmured, watching Hua Menghuang step into the river. Unease flickered in her eyes as she tightly gripped Hong Yuan's large hand.

Sensing the concern of the beauty beside him, Hong Yuan gently squeezed her hand and, lowering his head, said softly, "Menghuang will be fine. Believe in her. And believe in our teachings as well."

At that moment, memories of the days spent training Hua Menghuang, of the resources and effort they had invested in her, surfaced in Butterfly Sword Martial Saint's mind. Her apprehension immediately dissipated.

Butterfly Sword Martial Saint nodded firmly, giving Hong Yuan a soft "Mm" in response.

After reassuring Butterfly Sword Martial Saint, Hong Yuan turned his gaze to the nine light screens. These nine Great Dream Seeds were all potential direct adversaries for his Demonic Body; gathering intelligence on them was crucial.

A strong wind swept through, and great waves surged.

The river where Hua Menghuang stood suddenly grew turbulent.

It wasn't deep, the water only reaching her knees.

But the moment she stepped into it, she felt an immense pressure constricting her, as if an invisible wall stood before her.
