Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 606 - 441: The Second Tribulation of the 7th-Stage Demonic Body_2
Deep underground.
Earthy yellow luminescence and greenish wood energy frantically surged toward this colossal network of plant roots.
Layer upon layer of Essence Qi was greedily absorbed by Hong Yuan, continuously augmenting his physique.
With each passing second, Hong Yuan's strength grew, and his presence became more terrifying.
However, the consequence was that the grassland's soil and water eroded, nutrients vanished, and it gradually turned barren.
BOOM! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
Three consecutive explosive sounds erupted from Hong Yuan's Grass Body.
In just a quarter of an hour, Hong Yuan had consecutively leaped through the realms of mid-First Grade, high-First Grade, and peak-First Grade, reaching Second Grade cultivation.
It was precisely during this breakthrough that Hong Yuan's Grass Body began to transform!
Layers of grey sand and piles of dead leaves accumulated before him, swiftly forming a mirror under the convergence of Essence Qi.
With the help of this mirror, Hong Yuan quickly observed his current appearance.
His Grass Body was now withered and white, resembling plaster made of lime. Aside from its color, it looked no different from ordinary grass. But the two sword leaves atop the Grass Body's head were glaringly conspicuous.
Beneath the sunlight, those two sword leaves shone brilliantly, imbued with a fierce killing intent that made it difficult to look away.
Each sword leaf contained a profound mystery of the Sword Tao!
Sword Grass?!
Second Grade cultivation, two sword leaves. Doesn't that mean it would be a Ninth Grade with nine leaves? The legendary Supreme Sword Tao—Nine-Leaf Sword Grass?!
When Hong Yuan arrived at this conclusion, he couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder. But in reality, he didn't care too much about it. The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass was incredible, but he, Hong Yuan, had even contended with the Heavenly Horned Ant. It truly wasn't much in comparison. Moreover, his identity as a Demonic Body was also the Destiny of the Demon Clan!
CRASH—
A sound like a shattering mirror rang out.
This "Nine-Leaf Sword Grass" world was gradually disintegrating, evolving toward non-existence.
Sensing this situation, Hong Yuan couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
But soon after, a chill flashed in Hong Yuan's eyes: Supreme Sword Tao, huh? Watch me beat you until you're scattered all over the place!
BOOM!
RUMBLE!
RUMBLE!
Continuous explosions resounded. Heaven and earth were obliterated, and violent tempests swept everything away, like a majestic river of stars formed from thunderous waterfalls pouring down.
It was an apocalyptic scene.
In the boundless darkness, a figure holding a Longsword, dressed in green, stepped forward.
The most striking thing about this figure was the Longsword in his hand, which had nine large notches.
Nine-Leaf Sword Grass!
The moment this fellow appeared, Hong Yuan recognized his identity.
CLANG!
The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass boldly pointed his sword edge at Hong Yuan. Nine grand Cave Heavens instantly appeared behind him, each containing infinite mysteries of the Sword Tao.
Some Cave Heavens were worlds of thunder; others were worlds of hurricanes...
This Nine-Leaf Sword Grass had cleverly avoided the problem of Tao Mark Contradiction through the use of ninefold Life Talents, simultaneously controlling the powers of nine different schools.
Such talent and intelligence were truly terrifying!
The nine grand Cave Heavens shone brightly, transforming into blazing Divine Rings, constraining the void, locking onto Hong Yuan's position, and emitting endless divine light.
Faced with such pressure, ordinary Seventh Grade Saints couldn't even think of resisting, let alone possess the qualification to stand before the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.
A mere wisp of sword aura was enough to shatter everything!
Worthy of being the Supreme Sword Tao! My database has acquired yet another subject matter! At last, my Sword Body has the chance to catch up with my Power Body!! Thoughts raced in Hong Yuan's mind, his eyes sparkling with divine light.
The divine brilliance was overwhelming. Cold Wind swept past, and an endless pressure bore down, threatening to crush Hong Yuan to dust.
Yet, to Hong Yuan, this powerful onslaught felt like Qing Feng sweeping past—utterly ordinary.
Hong Yuan roared, immediately revealing his Cold Moon Dragon True Body.
His pair of crimson eyes burned like divine flames, his silver-white dragon horns shimmered with mysterious Tao patterns, and his massive dragon physique was bright and smooth...
And, more terrifying than before, were the Dao Marks of Food Tao that almost filled the entire sky.
To become a Great Emperor, several requirements had to be met. Not only did the school's accomplishments need to reach the Supreme Grandmaster Realm, but the Dao Marks of the school also had to reach the colossal number of 300,000!
Yet at present, Hong Yuan's Demonic Body was but Seventh Grade, and it already possessed nearly 500,000 Dao Marks of Food Tao.
This aspect alone was enough to show how much Hong Yuan surpassed his Demon Clan's Destined predecessors by far!
Hong Yuan's terrifying talent and intelligence as a Demonic Body were precisely why the Human Race Leader, East Supreme Saint, was forced to take such a risky move.
"Predecessor Nine-Leaf, become a part of me."
"WAHAHAHA—"
Hong Yuan let out a ferocious laugh, his gaping maw wide open as he lunged forward.
The Food Tao Marks around Hong Yuan instantly evolved into a blue Immortal Cave, which then violently shattered, transforming into a unique realm that, in turn, suppressed the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.
At this moment, Heaven and Earth trembled, the azure seas surged, and everything changed.
In the end, it seemed only the Cold Moon Dragon Hong Yuan remained—so fierce and vicious, he had become a Devil King.
The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass soared into the air, wreathed in blazing light, like a divine being. Longsword in hand, it struck down, aiming to cleave open Hong Yuan's huge mouth.
The nine Cave Heavens also roared, unleashing vast and mighty annihilating divine light, charging at Hong Yuan.
RUMBLE!!!
A thunderous explosion shook the heavens.
An endless mist spread, Chaos Qi billowed, completely obscuring the situation on the battlefield.
After a while, CRUNCH! CRUNCH! The sounds of gnawing echoed.
After a single exchange, the victor was utterly clear.
The Incarnation of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass had already been devoured in one bite by Hong Yuan. Its Dojo was also being consumed by him.
[Sword Tao +1,000]
[Sword Tao +1,000]
[Food Tao +1,000]
[Food Tao +1,000]
[...]
[School: Sword Tao (Grandmaster 16%) → Sword Tao (Grandmaster 31%)]
[School: Food Tao (Grandmaster 55%) → Food Tao (Grandmaster 60%)]
Staring at the proficiency panel's progress, especially the Food Tao column, Hong Yuan felt very satisfied.
Indeed, Hong Yuan knew just how precious the Supreme Grandmaster Realm of a school's mastery was.
After all, in the past several million years, only about twenty had reached this realm. One can imagine how difficult it was.
But that was the difficulty faced by others, and it had nothing to do with Hong Yuan.
Thus, Hong Yuan felt it was somewhat challenging, but the challenge seemed just that—nothing more.
Sigh~ It can't be helped. In the Great Thousand Worlds, one cannot possibly get by without some cheats...
Hong Yuan suddenly thought of the worlds beyond the Martial World. He couldn't help but look up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
He wondered if Han Jiuming, who had ventured beyond this world in search of the Eternity Realm, had fulfilled his dream.
CRACK! CRACK! SNAP!
Just after Hong Yuan had fully digested the "Nine-Leaf Sword Grass legacy," waves upon waves of the essence of Sword Tao surged into the Destiny Demon Realm within him.
Hong Yuan's Destiny Demon Realm grew increasingly massive, expanding wildly towards its fringes. Consequently, the Immortal Aperture Origin of the Destiny Demon Realm soon reached a critical point.
"Is it coming this quickly?" Hong Yuan raised an eyebrow and let out a resigned chuckle.
The second Heavenly Calamity and Earthly Tribulation for the Seventh Grade Demonic Body of a Saint could now be initiated.
Such a speed of breaking through was unprecedented and astonishing.
If the Human Clan Sky Palace were to learn of the terrifying growth of Hong Yuan's Demonic Body, "Xuan Guangqiao," they would certainly not proceed as leisurely as they were now.
Even if it cost over one-third of the Human Race, they would definitely kill "Xuan Guangqiao"!
It was too perverse, too outrageous.
It's like a joke!
Even if you are fated by Destiny, such an increase in cultivation speed defies all common sense!
Hong Yuan watched as the world of the Destiny Demon Realm transformed, a smile on his face, as he gently uttered a single word: "Break."
The next moment, the Destiny Demon Realm, which had undergone a world-shaking transformation, gradually stabilized.
The Dragon Sparrow Zither, Flood Gathering War Banner, and Purple-Gold Furnace—the three Holy Artifacts—also received great benefits. Each strengthened itself, especially the Life Holy Artifact, the Purple-Gold Furnace.
He had made it through! The second Heavenly Calamity and Earthly Tribulation of the Seventh Grade Demonic Body was overcome so easily!
Very easily, as simple as eating and drinking.
Ordinary Saints would use all their tricks and fight desperately for survival during a Heavenly Calamity and Earthly Tribulation, filled with dread.
One misstep, and they might fall on the spot!
But Hong Yuan's Demonic Body breezed through it so effortlessly that he even found it lacking.
He found this Heavenly Calamity and Earthly Tribulation too ordinary!
"The taste of the Demon Clan's heritage is truly good."
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR...
He cackled strangely, then resumed his journey to the Land of Oblivion.
Targets:
Eighth Grade Demonic Body!
Supreme Grandmaster of Food Tao!
