Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 568 - 424 Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

In this world, there are plenty of opportunists who would manipulate any situation for their own benefit.

At this moment, faced with the aggressive siege by other Great Dream Seed contenders, Hua Menghuang didn't think of escaping. Instead, she chose to burn everything she had, elevate herself to the utmost, and seize a future.

Putting everything else aside, this spirit of "I will shoulder everything" alone was enough to earn the continuous admiration of the many Saints watching from the sidelines.

"Menghuang, go for it. Just do your best," Hong Yuan said, tightly holding the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint's small hand, allowing the highly focused Martial Saint to lean against him.

"Such a declaration of 'I am Destiny; I shall suppress all enemies'—this spirit is enough to compete with Xuan Guangqiao," Kong Yande, the Elder of Eastern Wilderness Academy, exclaimed with admiration, his eyes shining brightly.

"No, it's still not enough to be mentioned in the same breath as Xuan Guangqiao. After all, Xuan Guangqiao emerged from numerous life-and-death battles, not from being raised in tranquility."

Mou Liang Great Saint, waving a pristine white fan, spoke with excitement, "But once Hua Menghuang unifies the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent, in terms of spirit alone, she will be enough to surpass Xuan Guangqiao!"

"Good, very good!" East Supreme Saint, the Dragon Sun Emperor's Child, repeated "good" twice. As he watched Hua Menghuang's battling figure, he sat up a bit straighter. The Temporal Tao Marks within him also became more active, ready to intervene at any moment.

Utterly foolish, lawless, and arrogant, truly a potential Demon Tao offender! The Daxuan Emperor was first startled, then, flushing with shame and anger, he repeatedly cursed Hua Menghuang in his heart.

Li Shenyu said nothing, merely staring blankly at the water screen, especially at Xiao Yuan's figure. "Yuan'er, don't lower your head."

「...」

Amidst the flash of swords, the figures of the nine Great Dream Seeds constantly shifted and maneuvered in mid-air.

Although there was a consensus to eliminate Hua Menghuang first, nobody dared to commit all their strength against her, fearing it would be their turn once she was eliminated.

"So Sword Dream is truly domineering. Do you think that among the Five Great God Continents, you alone are extraordinary, and we should all submit and yield to you?" Xiao Yuan scoffed, resisting a heavy blow.

With the awakening of their Apertures and their embarkation on the path of cultivation, the destinies of these nine Great Dream Seeds gradually became clear.

Hua Menghuang's main cultivation was Dream Tao, with Sword Tao as secondary; her title could be Sword Dream.

Shang Yaoqin's main cultivation was Dream Tao, with Sound Tao as secondary; her title could be Sound Dream.

Xiao Yuan was Soul Dream, Tang Tianlong was Luck Dream, Shi Xiangmin was Temporal Dream...

Having stood alone for a long time, Hua Menghuang had exhausted her energy and vitality. Her hair had turned white, and she was far from her previous domineering appearance.

Under these circumstances, these Great Dream Seeds naturally refused to accept Hua Menghuang still looking down on them as if they were mere small fry.

Now, they all sneered continuously at Hua Menghuang.

RUMBLE.

The various killing moves, unleashed by these Great Dream Seeds, came one after another, aggressively targeting Hua Menghuang.

Dream Tao combined with Soul Tao, Dream Tao with Sound Tao, Dream Tao with Luck Tao, Dream Tao with Temporal Tao...

It was like fireworks exploding, one burst after another, each containing deadly peril.

The onslaught was relentless, as if it would never cease until Hua Menghuang was dead.

"Supreme spirit? Heh, spirit is forged in battle, not declared with words. I wonder if Sword Dream can even wield her three-foot longsword now?" Tang Tianlong's eyes gleamed with cruelty, his face a mask of grim intent.

Bo Qing was a servant of Daxuan; Bo Qing's disciples ought to serve Daxuan faithfully. Since she disobeys, then I, Tang Tianlong, will personally clean house!

After cleaving through a sonic wave hurricane, Hua Menghuang fixed her cold gaze on Tang Tianlong.

No rebuke was necessary; she, Hua Menghuang, had mastered the five realms of Sword Tao, reaching the level of Sword Dao Master. Among her peers, who could contend with her? Now, all she needed to do was unleash a massacre.

Being stared at by Hua Menghuang like this sent a chill through Tang Tianlong, and he felt a thrill of horror.

At this moment, the other Great Dream Seeds still couldn't understand the source of Hua Menghuang's confidence. She clearly looked on the verge of death, yet her expression remained so calm.

This oppressive calm before the storm made Tang Tianlong and several other Great Dream Seeds feel like they were about to go mad.

In the next moment, the Holy Artifact Dream Sword in Hua Menghuang's hands radiated a brilliant white divine light, blocking and neutralizing all attacks at once.

The price of such a powerful move was that Hua Menghuang's soul became fragmented, and she lacked even the strength to firmly grip her trembling longsword.

Yet Hua Menghuang remained composed. Her hands joined together, head bowed, eyes closed, she resembled decayed wood.

CRACK—

Hua Menghuang's hand gestures changed again.

The Great Dream Seeds were all terrified, for they had all witnessed Hua Menghuang's master, Bo Qing, use this move before, and they understood its terrifying power!

"Sword Killing Move—Five Finger Fist Dream Sword!!!"

One finger!

Hua Menghuang suddenly raised her right thumb.

From the center of her right fist, held high above her head, a sword light suddenly shot out.

Fast! Fast! Fast!

The speed of the sword light was unimaginable.

The instant it was unleashed, it pierced through the center of Xiao Yuan's forehead.

Xiao Yuan, who had been focused on controlling the overall situation and was most determined to deal with Hua Menghuang, suddenly went still, his gaze blank.

A cluster of Temporal Tao divine light emerged out of thin air, enveloping Xiao Yuan and whisking him away.

Two fingers!

Hua Menghuang raised her right index finger.

The second sword light shot out from the center of her fist, as swift as the first.

The sword light also pierced through the center of Shang Yaoqin's forehead—she who was so unrestrained. The scene that had unfolded with Xiao Yuan was replayed identically with Shang Yaoqin.

Three fingers!

The third sword light pierced the most well-hidden Shi Xiangmin. Shi Xiangmin's pre-prepared Temporal Tao killing move activated, restoring her to her previous healthy state. Yet, she was still pierced by the sword light, and the divine light in her eyes faded.

It was only then that the other Great Dream Seeds finally snapped out of their shock, staring at Hua Menghuang with faces filled with horror.

But without Xiao Yuan, Shang Yaoqin, and Shi Xiangmin to keep Hua Menghuang in check, the situation became completely one-sided.

Total Annihilation!!!

Before everyone's eyes.

With her soul weakened, her qi like a silken thread, and on the brink of death, Hua Menghuang laboriously flapped her sword wings, slowly flying towards the top of the Kui Wood Divine Tree.

It wasn't long before Hua Menghuang reached the summit of the Kui Wood Divine Tree.

In a breath's time, the azure glow directly enveloped Hua Menghuang.

The fated Creation, the opportunity left behind by the Azure Lotus Heavenly Emperor, was exclusively obtained by Hua Menghuang!

「...」

"I lost!"

"I'm still alive!?"

"The final winner is Hua Menghuang..."

When Xiao Yuan, Shang Yaoqin, Shi Xiangmin, Tang Tianlong, and the other Great Dream Seeds regained consciousness, they saw their mentors looking at them with complex expressions.

And when they looked towards the light screen in the sky, they were utterly shocked.

Recalling the methods Hua Menghuang had displayed, they found them to be logical, though utterly ruthless.

The combined efforts of the eight Great Dream Seeds had actually been overcome by Hua Menghuang alone.

Though their alliance was one of convenience, each harboring their own agendas and holding back their true strength, a loss was still a loss!

"How did I lose? How could I lose..." Xiao Yuan, restored to his normal form, staggered backward, his expression vacant.

For this day, Xiao Yuan had paid a heavy price and endured many unspeakable hardships.

Indeed, I lost. I always said Sound Tao was dull, but Senior Sister just wouldn't believe me. Shang Yaoqin forced herself to appear spirited, but her smile was strained, and her eyes were red. She truly, truly wished to continue walking the path of cultivation with Ye Zhuyin.

No, it can't be! I don't believe it! How could I have been killed so easily? Shi Xiangmin was aghast.

Shi Lingmin considered herself highly capable, a descendant of the Dragon Sun Emperor's bloodline no less. She had deliberately kept a low profile during this trial, adopting a strategy of concealing her true strength, yet she was still eliminated early on by Hua Menghuang.

One by one, the Great Dream Seeds were so struck by Hua Menghuang's victory that they began to doubt their life choices, finding it difficult to accept their elimination at her hands.

A gentle breeze blew past, and the twilight's lingering glow illuminated the scene.

The shadows of everyone stretched long.

"Qing, Menghuang did it! She really did it!" The Butterfly Sword Martial Saint's eyes curved with a smile mixed with tears. She buried her head deeply into Hong Yuan's embrace, sobbing softly.

For this day, the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint had given so, so much.

"Yes, Menghuang has achieved her initial success," Hong Yuan gently patted the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint's soft back, comforting her with warm words.

Hong Yuan shifted his gaze from the light screen, glancing around. He took in the myriad expressions of the crowd, especially those of the Great Dream Seeds' masters:

Shi Lingfang's helplessness, Li Shenyu's calm, the Daxuan Emperor's fury, the Phoenix Creek Great Saint's indifference...

Among these, Li Shenyu's composure surprised Hong Yuan.

For although all masters were encouraging their disciples and boosting their confidence, Li Shenyu's efforts to compose Xiao Yuan had been the most effective.

"Yuan'er, you've already done well enough. It is I, your master, whose skills are inferior, that caused you to lose to Hua Menghuang."

"In the days to come, not only must you undergo hellish training, but I must as well. You must remember, our Soul Killing lineage never lacks the courage to start over..."

Li Shenyu patted Xiao Yuan's shoulder, reinvigorating his spirit and energy.

In fact, Li Shenyu's view was consistent with those of the other Great Dream Seed masters.

They all believed that all Great Dream Seeds had started on equal footing; the only difference lay in them, their masters.

Among these masters, Bo Qing had once reached the sixth level of the Eternal Azure Lotus Dreamland and possessed a profound understanding of Dream Tao, equivalent to that of the Dragon Sun Emperor's Child, East Supreme Saint.

Therefore, their disciples losing to Hua Menghuang was something they could, in truth, accept.

This outcome was within their expectations and was the very reason the eight Great Dream Seeds had joined forces against Hua Menghuang in the first place.

However, they had never expected Hua Menghuang to be so monstrously talented as to learn even Bo Qing's most secret, ultimate techniques.

"Terrifying indeed!"

"We must intensify her training!"

"She is, in all likelihood, the future Great Dream Emperor!"

"..."

Mou Liang Great Saint, the Five Great Academy Elders, and other Heavenly Palace members were full of praise for Hua Menghuang, utterly stunned by her outstanding performance.

Only today did they realize that the Great Emperor Biographies in the Heavenly Palace's Scripture Pavilion were not only free of exaggeration but had, in fact, understated the truth.

The Dragon Sun Emperor's Child, East Supreme Saint, smiled.

"There's no hurry. Hua Menghuang has merely taken an early lead."

"It remains to be seen if she is but a herald of the king, or the true king herself."

"After a few years, when they all reach the peak of the fifth stage, that will be the real main event."

With that, East Supreme Saint gazed towards the east.

The eastern region was precisely the territory of the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent!

Whichever Great Dream Seed first unified the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent would embody the Human Race Destiny, becoming the destined Great Dream Emperor.

He, East Supreme Saint, had already set the stage. He hoped they would not disappoint him...
