Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 566 - 422: Such As You Are, Still Not Enough to Crush Xuan Guangqiao! _2

If Hua Menghuang were to become careless, Xiao Yuan would surpass her and claim the top spot.

However, now that their efforts in cultivating Hua Menghuang were finally showing results, Hong Yuan wasn't so lacking in emotional intelligence as to dampen his own side's morale.

Let the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint enjoy her happiness for now; they would address future matters as they arose.

While Hong Yuan and the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint were joyous, the Daxuan Emperor, Li Shenyu, Shi Lingfang, and others were filled with worry.

After all, this fortuitous opportunity could only be claimed by a single person!

Whoever obtained this opportunity would clearly gain the qualification to advance ahead of the others.

They could even gain a significant lead in the battle for Human Race Destiny!

Under everyone's watchful eyes.

Within the Cave Heaven world, Hua Menghuang charged recklessly through a valley, her sword cleaving through everything in her path.

"Sword Light Thunder Sound!"

"Sword Qi Bundle Net!"

"Sword Light Skewing Heaven!"

Hua Menghuang effortlessly unleashed one profound and incomparable Sword Killing Move after another.

The obstacles in her path—mysterious mechanisms like mud giants and twin dragons of oil and fire—were utterly shattered by Hua Menghuang.

The other Great Dream Seeds also performed impressively, utilizing sound wave attacks, Time Stagnation, Soul Absorption, and more.

However, compared to Hua Menghuang, they were still a step behind, left far in her wake.

At this moment, Hua Menghuang truly shone, overpowering numerous Great Dream Seeds and leaving them all far behind.

"Hua Menghuang? It's this child again."

Watching the progress of clearing the passages on the nine water screens, Mou Liang Great Saint's gaze fixed on Hua Menghuang's figure. His eyes suddenly lit up, and as he gently waved his feathered fan, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Impressive, truly impressive."

"Heh heh, after all, she is Bo Qing's disciple. Bo Qing's attainments in Dream Tao are comparable even to those of the Emperor's Son. Both are pioneers who have ventured to the sixth layer of the Eternal Azure Lotus Dreamland," Kong Yande, the Eastern Wilderness Academy Elder, added with a chuckle.

Bo Qing was a Heavenly Talent Martial Saint from the Eastern Wilderness Academy. Since it was a harmless comment, Kong Yande was willing to offer a few words of praise for Bo Qing.

In the battle for Human Race Destiny, figures at the level of the Five Great Academy Elders generally maintained neutrality, so they naturally didn't hesitate to praise Bo Qing, the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint, and Hua Menghuang.

However, the masters of the other Great Dream Seeds narrowed their eyes, extremely wary of Bo Qing and the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint!

One step ahead means being ahead at every step. If Hua Menghuang continues to be left unchecked, she is the most likely to seize Destiny. We need to devise a plan...

STEP, STEP... STEP, STEP, STEP... A series of footsteps grew louder as a figure emerged, taking the lead and walking through the final barrier.

The darkness gradually receded, and the light steadily grew.

The newcomer's figure became distinct—it was indeed Hua Menghuang!

Hua Menghuang, tightly clutching her longsword, walked to the end of the passage.

Here stood an enormous Kui Wood Divine Tree. It was lush and verdant, its massive, broad crown like a jade canopy that seemed to envelop the entire world.

Specks of light filtered through the leaves of the Kui Wood Divine Tree, dappling the ground. A gust of wind swept through, rustling the leaves and causing the branches to sway gently.

At the very apex of the Kui Wood Divine Tree, a cluster of azure light radiated outwards, appearing to conceal a magnificent treasure within.

Gazing at this cluster of azure light, Hua Menghuang felt an intense yearning from every bone and limb in her body, a powerful urge compelling her to approach and consume it.

Is this the opportunity from the Azure Lotus Heaven Lord... Hua Menghuang's heart pounded, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

The Kui Wood Divine Tree was exceedingly tall. To reach its top quickly, one would either have to climb the main trunk or fly directly upwards!

However, for a cultivator who had just opened their Aperture to fly was practically unheard of—wishful thinking at best.

"Yuan'er, faster, even faster!" Li Shenyu urged, growing anxious.

He didn't know if the other Great Dream Seeds could ascend, but Li Shenyu was certain that his disciple, Xiao Yuan, could fly even at the First Realm.

After all, the Soul Killing lineage possessed an Emperor Tao Heritage; breaking such a conventional limit was nothing extraordinary for them.

"Menghuang, show your brilliance to the world!" Hong Yuan embraced the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint, and together they looked with hope at that cold, resolute figure.

Sword Killing Move—Sword Control Technique!

The True Essence within Hua Menghuang's body circulated rapidly. Just as the Sea of True Essence in her Aperture was about to be depleted, her Holy Artifact, the Dream Sword, vibrated once, instantly replenishing it.

White True Essence, tinged with a dreamlike quality, coated the three-foot longsword. A majestic aura emanated from Hua Menghuang, filling the surroundings with immense, invisible pressure, as if an ancient female Sword Immortal had descended.

BOOM!

A tremendous sword hum suddenly vibrated through the air.

With a flash of sword light, Hua Menghuang's figure vanished from the ground, soaring swiftly towards the sky.

At merely the First Realm, Hua Menghuang displayed such formidable flying ability, astounding all onlookers.

Great Dream Seeds were truly beyond reason!

Gasps and exclamations rippled through the crowd.

"HISS!"

"This... this is..."

"Transcendent! Truly transcendent!"

"No wonder the Great Dream Emperor was prophesied to be the strongest Emperor in history. A single Great Dream Seed is already this terrifying!"

"Slow down, slow down a bit more. Phew, good, Hua Menghuang's flying speed has decreased. Disciple, come out quickly, or Hua Menghuang will take the lead!"

Voices filled with shock, frustration, and prayer rose from all around.

Because Hua Menghuang had suddenly used the Sword Control Technique to ascend, the crowd outside was in an uproar, believing she might seize the great fortuitous opportunity left by the Azure Lotus Heaven Lord.

"Menghuang, push harder, push even harder!" The Butterfly Sword Martial Saint watched Hua Menghuang, whose speed had decreased. Her heart raced with anxiety, and her palms grew sweaty with nervousness.

Especially when she saw Xiao Yuan and Shang Yaoqin on the verge of emerging, she gripped Hong Yuan's hand so tightly it was as if he were her enemy.

Hong Yuan sighed softly and gently stroked the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint's hair, comforting her, "The path to achieving Destiny is not so simple. Menghuang hasn't created a significant gap between herself and the other Great Dream Seeds. Besides…"

At this point, Hong Yuan paused briefly, his gaze discreetly flicking towards the clouds where the Dragon Sun Emperor's Child, East Supreme Saint, was located.

What the Dragon Sun Emperor's Child, East Supreme Saint, desired was a Human Race Destiny capable of utterly crushing the Demon Clan's Destiny at Xuan Guangqiao!

Even if Hua Menghuang had the chance to pull away from the other Great Dream Seeds and solely obtain the great fortuitous opportunity left by the Azure Lotus Heaven Lord, East Supreme Saint would likely create a difficult situation, forcing Hua Menghuang to contend with the other Great Dream Seeds first.

「In the clouds.」

East Supreme Saint stood high above, his expression unreadable, his thoughts inscrutable.

Yet, as a powerful being who had defied the principles of his father, the Dragon Sun Emperor, and chosen the vast Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent as the battleground for Destiny, no one dared to underestimate him.

Not enough, still not enough, East Supreme Saint mused, watching the nine light screens and snorting coldly in his heart. In your current state, you are still far from being able to crush Xuan Guangqiao!

「After a while.」

As expected, after a while, two distinctly different sets of footsteps suddenly sounded.

Shang Yaoqin and Xiao Yuan had stepped out of the darkness, reaching the end of the passage.

They looked up at Hua Menghuang soaring in the sky above, their gazes reflecting different thoughts.

At that moment, Hua Menghuang had only flown about one-fifth of the distance; she still had a long way to go to reach the summit.

In merely an instant, Shang Yaoqin and Xiao Yuan understood what had transpired and what they needed to do.

"Sound Tao Killing Move—Wind Dragon Song!"

Shang Yaoqin played her Jade Flute. Layers of wind surged around her, and gradually, a green Yinglong formed of condensed wind appeared before her.

She took a step forward. The Yinglong flapped its wings and immediately soared into the sky, gusts of wind erupting from its mouth to assail Hua Menghuang.

"Soul Tao Killing Move—Ghost Night Walk!"

Xiao Yuan crushed the Hundred Soul Banner, unleashing a powerful aura. The white crane feather crown on his head instantly shattered into ash.

Simultaneously, the souls of powerful Ferocious Beasts such as the Golden Arrow Gryphon, Forest Wood Tiger, and Bloody River Python surged into Xiao Yuan's body. His appearance underwent a drastic transformation!

He now had three heads, six arms, and large black crow-like wings. The central head was his own: handsome and valiant. The head on the left had a peach-colored forehead, grass-like hair, and three eyes arranged like a flower. The head on the right possessed cloud-like temples, lightning eyes, fiery ears, and a golden mouth. He had six arms in total, three on each side.

A chilling demonic aura radiated from him!

BOOM! Xiao Yuan flapped his wings and lunged towards Hua Menghuang.

The battle was about to erupt...
