Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 632 - 453 Defying Fate! (7k, additional update 2/7)
CRASH! The sound of turbulent water surged.
Golden waves of thunder, sweeping out from the tip of the Golden War Spear, crushed the void as they passed. Wherever they went, dense spatial fissures appeared, as if the sky itself were collapsing—a terrifying sight.
Nearby Hong Yuan, Bee Beast Worms and Illusion Cloud Flood Dragons plummeted to the ground one after another, unable to resist. At this life-and-death moment, Hong Yuan remained composed. He extended his arms, performing the Tai Chi Cloud Hand movement.
The moment he began, the roaring sound of the Great Taoism—which Tang Tianlong had triggered between heaven and earth—was instantly dispersed. Streams of aqua-blue water materialized from nowhere, sweeping around Hong Yuan. Obscure Phoenix Tao Patterns adhered to them, imbued with the power of a supreme Treasure Skill.
In that instant, Hong Yuan’s black hair fell like a waterfall, his white clothes fluttered, and he moved with the ethereal grace of an immortal. The number of Water Tao Marks entwined around his body exceeded 50,000! This count had already surpassed that of ordinary sixth-order Saints. It was even approaching the threshold of an eighth-order Great Saint—a terrifying prospect that left the watching Saints dumbfounded.
The transformation did not cease there. The immense aqua-blue Tao Marks followed Hong Yuan’s guidance, enveloping him and forming the silhouette of a Phoenix Divine Appearance. The Phoenix Divine Appearance rose behind Hong Yuan, soaring through the sky. Its phoenix eyes stared intently at Tang Tianlong, exuding a solemn and icy coldness.
At this very moment, Hong Yuan resembled an aqua-blue phoenix incarnate, displaying his divine might for all to see, his power pressing down upon the mortal realm. This was the Phoenix Creek Sect’s supreme Divine Power—the Phoenix Creek Treasure Skill!
RUMBLE—
Hong Yuan pushed his hands forward. The aqua-blue phoenix behind him flapped its wings, unleashing a fierce gale. In an instant, the aqua-blue Tao Patterns coalesced into a colossal wave that suddenly extinguished Tang Tianlong’s golden thunderous onslaught.
"Even if I, Hong Yuan, am not The Destiny of Great Dreams, and even if I must support the Eastern Wilderness Sect alone, I can still be invincible in the mortal realm!"
Hong Yuan’s gaze was like lightning as he made his declaration to all beings in the Eastern Wilderness. His voice was majestic, like a divine hymn, resonating in all directions, allowing every being in the Eastern Wilderness to feel its impact. One by one, they looked up, their expressions a mixture of fright and awe, as they gazed upon the magnificent figure of the aqua-blue phoenix.
Such majestic heavenly might was truly invincible!
「On the battlefield.」
With a BANG, Hong Yuan, having unleashed the Phoenix Creek Treasure Skill, stood like a Phoenix God King incarnate. With a single strike, he shattered Tang Tianlong’s meticulously arranged, sky-spanning thunderous domain.
The Golden God Spear, glinting with a cold light, was extraordinarily sharp. Wielded by Tang Tianlong, it carried a destructive force capable of making an entire province sink—a truly terrifying blow! Yet Hong Yuan merely made a light patting motion, blocking the Golden God Spear with a single hand.
To repel a Holy Artifact with a bare hand!
What kind of madness is this?!
"Impossible!"
"That can’t be real! That’s a Holy Artifact!"
"HISS—"
"Unbelievable, unbelievable. Is this the prelude to the Great Era? But Hong Yuan isn’t even a Great Dream Seed..."
The Saints in the Green Heaven straightened their postures, staring at Hong Yuan with mouths agape and eyes wide in disbelief. Unsurprisingly, Hong Yuan’s outrageous performance caused a commotion among the Saints, as his display was simply too preposterous. Do you think you’re some young Ancient Emperor reborn? You’re just the so-called first among mortals, that’s all!
But what Hong Yuan did next was even more shocking.
For Hong Yuan was thrashing Tang Tianlong as one would a dog; the scene was utterly farcical! Hong Yuan had forcefully stripped away the Great Dream Seed’s prestige.
[Record +1,000]
[Record +1,000]
[...]
Hong Yuan continuously drove Tang Tianlong into desperate straits.
Everything seemed to be progressing favorably, yet Hong Yuan showed no particular ’joy.’ This was because every time Hong Yuan was about to deliver the finishing blow, Tang Tianlong always managed to survive. He did so by the skin of his teeth, using his innate Dream Tao Divine Powers. In this situation, the profundities of Tang Tianlong’s Dream Tao Mystery were almost completely laid bare before Hong Yuan, allowing him to silently record them.
At this moment, witnessing this cataclysmic scene, all beings in the Eastern Wilderness were dumbstruck, staring blankly at Hong Yuan’s figure, which resembled an aqua-blue phoenix. Faintly, the collective luck of all beings began to transfer from every corner of the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent, flowing towards Hong Yuan’s body.
Once Hong Yuan absorbed this immense luck, his Water Body would undoubtedly undergo an even more terrifying transformation. It was not to say he could catch up to the contemporary Destiny of the Demon Clan, but he could definitely advance towards the level of the Azure Lotus Heavenly Emperor and the Dragon Sun Emperor.
Slay the Destiny and replace it with one’s own! This fantastical yet awe-inspiring piece of secret lore came to the minds of many Heavenly Palace Masters, all thanks to the current events which had completely shattered their initial expectations.
Some rejoiced while others worried; the Heavenly Palace Masters had mixed reactions. It was good that Hong Yuan was strong, but on the other hand, the weakness of the Great Dream Seed Tang Tianlong was utterly unexpected. How could such an existence shoulder the era’s mission of resisting the Demon Clan’s Destiny and Xuan Guangqiao?
They had initially believed that once the Great Dream Seed Tang Tianlong made his move, Hong Yuan’s title as ’first among mortals’ would be forfeit. At best, Hong Yuan would barely escape with his life, clinging precariously to survival.
But the reality was that Tang Tianlong had been utterly defeated!!!
It had to be said, Hong Yuan’s current actions were indeed causing a colossal uproar!
Hong Yuan has already become a major power. As long as he doesn’t leave the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent, who can possibly stop him?
