Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 565 - 422

"At the end of the path, there lies a great Creation left by the Azure Lotus Heaven Lord. Whoever claims it will soar to the heavens!"

Hearing these words, Xiao Yuan, Shi Xiangmin, Tang Tianlong, and other Great Dream Seeds' eyes instantly lit up. A surge of strength welled up in their bodies, allowing them to disregard the myriad traps and obstacles as they excitedly rushed forward.

Who was the Azure Lotus Heaven Lord?

He was a Great Emperor of the Wood Tao school, the supreme progenitor who founded the Painting Daoist School! The life of the Azure Lotus Heaven Lord brimmed with legend, practically the perfect template of a winner. In that era, the Demon Clan's Destiny was a level above his own. Yet, facing this, he relied on sheer skill and the ability to challenge those beyond his station. He vanquished the Demon Clan's Destiny, astounding all Masters. He made the creatures of the Demon Clan howl in pain, crushed the Demon Clan's vast reserves, including their Emperor Artifacts and Emperor Arrays, and completely broke the backbone of the Demon Clan with his own hands. After that, the Demon Clan could no longer mount an effective counterattack against the Five Major Divine Continents of the Human Race!

The Azure Lotus Heaven Lord was able to accomplish this because he possessed the "Infinite Immortal Nuance" feature. With "Infinite Immortal Nuance," the Azure Lotus Heaven Lord deservedly ranked among the top five of the nine Great Emperors of the Human Race, far surpassing what even Great Emperors like the Soul Killing Demon Emperor could compare to.

"This seems quite interesting, haha," Shang Yaoqin said with a gentle smile. She took out her Jade Flute, her fingers pressing lightly upon it as she began to play. White ripples emanated from the flute, fluttering outwards and then reverberating back. Shang Yaoqin was exploring the environment of the underground cavern ahead!

I cannot lose! I cannot lose! I must wash away the humiliation of the Soul Killing lineage! Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed fiercely. He gritted his teeth as a black Hundred Soul Banner materialized in his hand. Xiao Yuan gently shook the Hundred Soul Banner. In an instant, the souls of powerful Ferocious Beasts like the Golden Arrow Gryphon, Forest Wood Tiger, and Bloody River Python gathered around him. Heeding his commands, they surged towards the end of the forest ahead.

"Azure Lotus Heaven Lord?! One day, I will surpass you," Hua Menghuang declared calmly, sweeping her sleeve as she leisurely walked towards the valley. Wave after wave of dreamlike Sword Qi emanated from Hua Menghuang, recklessly slashing out in all directions, displaying extreme ferocity and aggression.

...

The battle for Destiny is both a great opportunity and a great danger for both the Human Race and the Demon Clan!

For the Demon Clan, for Hong Yuan's Demonic Body to achieve the Demon Clan's Destiny, he must not only battle his peers but also face many older predecessors, even figures at the Demon Saint level. If it weren't for his extraordinary abilities, any other Demon would have struggled. They likely couldn't even unify the Green Dragon Heavenly Scenic Tower Battle Zone, let alone the remaining Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Xuanwu Heavenly Scenic Tower Battle Zones. After becoming the overlord of the four directions, he would have to return to where he first mustered his troops and proclaim his status to Heaven and Earth. Furthermore, he would have to face the mighty onslaught of the Human Race, directly confronting life and death... One life-and-death crisis after another; it was overwhelmingly suffocating.

The path to coalescing the Demon Clan's Destiny is exceptionally perilous!

As for the Human Race, while the dangers of coalescing Destiny might not appear as overtly dramatic as for the Demon Clan, the hidden undercurrents are even more turbulent. This is because the battle for Destiny has always been a path of no return. Throughout the ages, only one person can become a Saint or Great Emperor and bear all the glory! Those defeated Destiny Seeds simply fade away under the long blade of time, vanishing without a trace, never to be heard from again.

「At this moment.」

These recently enlightened Great Dream Seeds each revealed their extraordinary abilities, causing Hong Yuan to secretly click his tongue in amazement.

When I was young, every bit of True Essence had to be used patiently, counting every fraction.

Compared to these Great Dream Seeds, my younger self seems rather dull and as foolish as a pig, Hong Yuan thought, shaking his head gently, inevitably making a comparison.

It wasn't just Hong Yuan who found the prowess displayed by these Great Dream Seeds astonishing; the Daxuan Emperor, Li Shenyu, and Shi Lingfang—these Martial Saints—also appeared to be having an eye-opening experience. Although they tightly controlled their expressions, Hong Yuan could easily tell from their somewhat erratic auras that their inner emotions were not as calm as they appeared on the surface.

In past eras, the nine Great Emperor seeds would rise to prominence based on their own talents. Ultimately, under the manipulation of what is called 'Destiny,' they would clash and fight until only one emerged victorious. But in this era, under the proactive ideology championed by the Dragon Sun Emperor's Child, East Supreme Saint, the Heavenly Palace's high echelons spared no cost to unearth and cultivate these Great Emperor seeds. Now, it has transformed into a ruthless struggle, akin to raising Worms!

Therefore, while the methods displayed by these Great Dream Seeds were quite exaggerated, they were still barely within what the spectators could accept. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Qing, Menghuang is leading the pack..." the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint's voice trembled with disbelief. She gazed at the light screen above, subconsciously clutching Hong Yuan's large hand tightly.

Hong Yuan clasped her hand back firmly, conveying warmth to the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint, and nodded gently. "That's truly wonderful. Let's watch patiently."

In truth, Hong Yuan wished to tell the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint that being ahead for the moment isn't everything; true victory lies in final success. After all, as the saying goes, 'the journey of a hundred miles is only half complete at the ninety-mile mark.' It's common for efforts to come to naught and people to return empty-handed.

Because Hong Yuan could clearly see: Hua Menghuang has secured an advantage, but she hasn't established an insurmountable lead over the other Great Dream Seeds.

To say nothing of others, Xiao Yuan's progress in navigating the passage alone was closely tailing Hua Menghuang.
