Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 627 - 450 Tang Tianlong Emerges from Retreat

The Flame Sacred Fire Region is a Holy Land for Fire Tao cultivators under the domain of the Red Feather Mansion of the Phoenix Creek Sect.

For reasons unknown, the Flame Sacred Fire Region has been burning for ages, its history even predating that of the Phoenix Creek Sect.

Above ground, fierce flames spread, and beneath it, molten lava flowed.

Sometimes it was as peaceful as a small fire, warm and serene.

At other times, it raged like a wild inferno, as if to set the Ninth Heaven ablaze.

Deep within it resided various terrifying Strange Fires.

While it contained opportunities, it was also fraught with grave dangers, and a moment's carelessness could reduce one to ashes!

At this moment, in the depths of the Flame Sacred Fire Region, a figure resembling burnt charcoal lay silently below the flowing lava.

The flames were fierce, and the temperature was so high it completely eliminated the moisture in the air.

More terrifyingly, wild Fire Tao Marks roamed freely here from time to time.

Yet even so, none could reduce this slumbering person to ashes.

One had to admit, this person's strength was truly extraordinary.

The hot wind whipped up, and the lava flowed.

Suddenly, the charcoal-like figure's eyelashes trembled.

The next moment,

"BOOM—"

With a thunderous noise, multicolored Strange Fires leapt out from him.

The Blue Moon Fire, Golden Emperor Slayer Flame, and even the Great Harmony Wind Slaughter Flame...

No fewer than one hundred and eight unique Strange Fires infused with different powers merged together.

Suddenly, a vision of meteoric flames crashing to earth and a roaring sea of fire arose behind him.

He exuded an aura nearly like that of a Saint, even more terrifying than that of Hei Zhenwu of bygone days!

The figure's appearance gradually became clear.

Lin Bu Jing!

Lin Bu Jing stood tall, his features striking. His eyes were like cold stars, his eyebrows like painted arcs. With a broad chest, he carried the imposing air of one who could not easily be defeated.

After a long while, Lin Bu Jing slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, speaking in a complex tone, "After a narrow escape from death, I finally pulled through. But why do I feel like I still can't beat Hong Yuan?"

In his sea of consciousness, Elder Dan had returned to the appearance of a valiant middle-aged man from that of an elderly one with white hair. Upon hearing Lin Bu Jing's question and comparing the two of them, he fell silent, inevitably sinking into thought.

It seemed, perhaps...

It really was so!

"Let's not talk about this. It's time to return to the Sect. This matter isn't over yet!"

Lin Bu Jing collected his emotions, exerted strength in his back, and the fiery red Fire Feather wings vibrated as he flew away.

His performance was observed by martial artists training in the outer layers of the Flame Sacred Fire Region, leaving each of them in utter shock.

「Wind leaves a trace of sound. Geese leave a mark as they pass.」

When Tang Tianlong stepped out of the remaining territories of the Daxuan royal family in Central State and made his way to the location of the Phoenix Creek Sect in Yong State, his presence inevitably revealed itself.

Or rather, Tang Tianlong had no intention of hiding his tracks at all!

Because he fought his way through!!

It should be known that nowadays, the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent has been inundated with the Tao Heritages from various forces, with the young generation from the Five Great Divine Continents almost all converging here, implicated in the struggle for the Great Dream.

While Martial Arts Heavenly Talents with strength on par with Hei Zhenwu were rare, there would certainly be some from the Emperor Tao Heritages of the major Divine Continents.

Yet, when facing Tang Tianlong, these Martial Arts Heavenly Talents were still defeated in a single move!

"Wu Yingming? You alone dare to block my path?"

Tang Tianlong's face was chilly as he suddenly let out a crazed smile, "Bring me Hua Menghuang!"

With a punch, the Pure Dream Seeking Body, akin to a Holy Artifact, roared like thunder, intimidating all around.

Wu Yingming's gathered army formation struggled to withstand the blows, emitting sounds of being on the verge of collapse.

But it was to no avail. Wu Yingming kept retreating, his fingers cracking and dripping blood, which only made Tang Tianlong seem even more like the Demon Fire Floods the Sky.

Just when everyone thought Tang Tianlong was going to change his move, Wu Yingming, clad in golden armor, looking formidable and imposing, shattered into pieces, turning into a rain of blood that scattered across the sky and onto the army below.

In that instant, everyone was utterly intimidated by Tang Tianlong.

"How can this be..."

"Charging into the formation alone, he overturns the morale of an entire enemy host with a flip of his hand."

"It must be fake, right? Even Hong Yuan couldn't accomplish such a feat."

As expected, the Southern Border Army fell into severe disarray because of Tang Tianlong, descending into complete chaos!!

After this battle, everyone came to believe:

Only a Great Dream Seed can contend with another Great Dream Seed!

Under the fearful gazes of the survivors, Tang Tianlong, standing atop the Blood Wing Dragon Bat, a Desolate Beast, carried an overwhelming momentum as he rushed towards Yong State.

Tang Tianlong intended to kill Hong Yuan before Shang Yaoqin could return, completely destroying Phoenix Creek Sect and eliminating the Sect Alliance.

If successful, the advantage he had established in the battle for Destiny would become overwhelmingly significant!

「The following day at high noon.」

「Phoenix Creek Sect, Sect's Grand Hall.」 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Lin Bu Jing took a deep breath and strode in.

Here, he finally met Hong Yuan, the peerless Heavenly Talent whom he saw as his lifelong rival.

"Greetings, Alliance Hierarch." Lin Bu Jing bowed with a salute, without a single fault to be picked.

Hong Yuan sat upright on the frost jade seat, narrowing his eyes to size up Lin Bu Jing, nodding slightly with a smile, "You've returned at the perfect time."

Being scrutinized by Hong Yuan sent shockwaves through Lin Bu Jing's heart, as he was reminded of his harrowing journey to conquer the Strange Fire known as the Great Harmony Wind Slaughter Flame—a feat with chances of survival slim to none.

The Great Unity Wind possessed the ability to assimilate everything.

If left unchecked, the Great Unity Wind could destroy the blessed lands and Cave Heavens of Saints.

It was truly fearsome, a calamity even Saints wished to avoid.

And the Great Harmony Wind Slaughter Flame was imbued with the Great Unity Wind's ability to assimilate all things.

Furthermore, with the wind enhancing the fire's power and the fire boosting the wind's ferocity, the Great Harmony Wind Slaughter Flame was even more brutal and fierce than the Great Unity Wind alone by threefold.

This was also a significant reason why Elder Dan considered Lin Bu Jing to have reached Saint Level combat prowess!

But at this moment, both of them were deeply intimidated by a whiff of aura emanating from Hong Yuan!!

"I never thought that, as I grew stronger, Hong Yuan's progress would surpass mine," Lin Bu Jing couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment within his sea of consciousness.

Elder Dan's expression grew grave as he communicated, "Though the saying goes, 'A person can change a lot in three days' and one should view them with fresh eyes, it's not just you who has broken limits, but Hong Yuan as well. A great change is imminent for the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent!

"The current Hong Yuan, in terms of talent and brilliance, is definitely not inferior to the ancient Great Emperors. It's just unfortunate that this era belongs to the Great Dream Emperor, and limits are set."

Above, while Lin Bu Jing and Elder Dan were swiftly exchanging words, Hong Yuan slightly raised his head, looking at Lin Bu Jing with an amused gaze.

A day prior, intel from Jin State arrived: Tang Tianlong had left his seclusion and was heading toward Yong State alone.

Coincidentally, Lin Bu Jing had also returned to the Sect that day.

Everything seemed so coincidental.

One coincidence is just that—a coincidence. Two coincidences are also coincidences.

But one after another, these coincidences become inevitabilities.

"Invisible hands at play? It seems, then, that you can no longer sit idle and are ready to accelerate even further, Heavenly Palace!" Hong Yuan thought to himself.

He tapped his right index finger lightly on the armrest, his face bearing a smile, looking quite composed.

Hong Yuan had always understood that his primary enemy was never the Great Dream Seed, and certainly not Lin Bu Jing, but the Heavenly Palace!

After a long while, Hong Yuan issued his first command upon Lin Bu Jing's return:

"Lead Chen Hao, Li Qiyuan, Long Zhandu, and the other Army Chiefs to locate Tang Tianlong's precise position!"

Considering the varied and marvelous Divine Powers of the Great Dream Seed's Dream Tao talent, Hong Yuan planned to let Lin Bu Jing go and figure out Tang Tianlong's capabilities.

An individual who had suppressed himself under the Reverse Saint Array to reach Saint Level prowess was not someone Hong Yuan would let off easily.
