Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 742 - 497 Azure Lotus, Starfire, Soul Killing_2
But they were not without a countermeasure.
"Starfire Prairie!"
Led by Jiang Chuming, a Quasi-Emperor of the Starfire Emperor lineage, over thirty Saints carrying the bloodline of the Starfire Emperor Jiang Zhihuo gathered resolutely before the Human Race Army. Even the least of these Saints was of the seventh order, and some were renowned Quasi-Emperors in their own right.
At that moment, they all ignited their bloodlines, calling forth the ancestral powers slumbering within.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
A fierce wind rose, and a spark ignited.
Fire.
Starfire.
Starfire Prairie.
At the ends of the heavens and earth, a radiant sun suddenly arose. It cast a purple-gold dragon shadow that merged with the pulse of this world, causing the hearts of both Demon Clan members and Human Race cultivators to momentarily freeze. For this was the Tao Rhyme of the first Great Emperor of the Human Race, the Dragon Sun Emperor!
As the radiant sun set and dusk fell, darkness descended, ushering in a silence where all was still. And then, at the end of the world, a figure in hemp clothes, holding a torch high, strode forward step by step. He walked amidst the boundless darkness, struggling to maintain a sliver of brightness. Gradually, more and more figures gathered around him, making his form grow larger and more substantial, until it was vast enough to shelter the Human Race...
"With a will as radiant as the sun, everyone can be as mighty as a dragon."
"Hold your torch high, and shed light upon the Human Race."
The Starfire Emperor! The second Great Emperor of the Human Race, beloved disciple of the Dragon Sun Emperor, the legendary Fire Tao Emperor!
At this moment, the massive phantom of the Starfire Emperor transformed into an undying Fire Region, valiantly sheltering the Human Race Army. The Royal Tao Marks of the Fire Tao spread, as if they could traverse past, present, and future.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...
Two immense forces, each nearly on the level of an Alternative Tao Achiever's power, collided violently. The world turned white, and a profound silence fell. This power existed only for an instant, and its use required terrible sacrifices. Yet, at this time, no one could deny that possessing such awe-inspiring power was fitting for a great Holy Land, a supreme ruling race! The methods left behind by departed Great Emperors were not to be underestimated.
"Hmph, lead them towards the Nine Heavens!"
The winds raged fiercely. The East Supreme Saint, his Purple Gold Dragon Horns fully exposed, coldly issued his command, his heart as firm as iron. Even if this meant the prime strength of the Starfire lineage would be lost forever, it was all for the greater cause of the Human Race! If he hadn't needed to preserve enough of the people's spirit and will to destroy the Demon Clan's fated Xuan Guangqiao, he himself, along with the Emperor Artifact Mountain and River Pen, could have swept through the Heavenly Plant Holy Land! Because he, too, was capable of unleashing power nearly on par with that of an Alternative Tao Achiever!
...
The sky was stained with blood, like a smear that could not be washed away.
Under the firmament, Martial Saints conquered one great hall after another, one mountain range after another, within the Heavenly Plant Holy Land. The Demon Saints and Martial Saints fought ceaselessly. The interior of the Heavenly Plant Holy Land was devastated; its past glory was gone, leaving only ruins. At this moment, in the midst of the grand melee, Li Jianqiu was surrounded by Li Qiyuan and Chen Hao, who had joined forces to engage her in a deadly battle.
Facing their pursuit, Li Jianqiu's expression remained calm, her grip on the Deep Green Halberd in her hand merely tightening.
Chen Hao took a deep breath.
Fire Tao Divine Power—Sea of Fire Waves!
Chen Hao's eyes flared with divine light, his feather fan swept forcefully, and the wind howled fiercely. Here, a Sea of Fire Waves rose, connecting heaven and earth.
"Die!" Li Qiyuan's eyes once again burst with divine light. The King's Sword in his hand thundered into motion, invoking a Divine Power.
Sword Tao Divine Power—Sword Qi Runs Through the Rainbow!
Li Qiyuan drew the King's Sword, which had been accumulating Sword Momentum for a long while. He stabbed forward, instantly manifesting a vision: a great sun pressing down and a golden crow cawing. This phenomenon was mysteriously linked with the Sea of Fire Waves.
The two Human Race Heavenly Talents, who had been competing all along, now, under the immense pressure from Li Jianqiu, unleashed even more formidable power. Their Divine Powers worked in tandem, forming a devastating attack that seemed to surpass the domain of sixth-order Saints.
Faced with this formidable power, Li Jianqiu's expression remained undisturbed, as still as an ancient well.
"Luck Tao Method—Sacred Morning Arrival!" The Yellow Earth Holy Sword strapped to Li Jianqiu's waist suddenly gleamed, activating numerous Luck Tao Marks.
Sun and moon fell, mountains crumbled, and the world mourned. At that moment, a colossal yet ethereal Yun Dynasty emerged. Li Jianqiu transformed into a worldly hegemon, reigning supreme over the Nine Heavens and Five Continents as her entire dynasty ascended towards the Immortal Realm!
An astonishing scene unfolded! This Yun Dynasty world smashed violently forward. Within it, boundless thunder was born; lightning drifted like mist, ethereal as smoke yet surging like a tide, vast as an ocean.
With a single collision, the Yun Dynasty world engulfed both the Sea of Fire Waves and Sword Qi Runs Through the Rainbow, and even rolled towards Li Qiyuan and Chen Hao.
Facing death in that instant, Li Qiyuan and Chen Hao exchanged a glance, a shared sigh of wistfulness escaping them. "It's all been one Great Dream," one of them murmured, "and now we face death together... alas."
Just then, shouts and roars suddenly surged in their ears.
Human Tao Divine Power—Human Thoughts Like Flood!
"Kill!" "Die!" "Sever!"
Shouts erupted from figures such as Liu Mantang, Long Zhandu, Hei Zhenwu, Tang Tianlong, and other Human Tao heroes. It was as if they were truly revived, their divine strength extraordinary. Moments later, these phantoms—vast as an ocean and human-shaped—surged forward, shouting. They managed to hold back the Yun Dynasty world and even threatened to shatter it, thus saving Li Qiyuan and Chen Hao.
It turned out to be Hong Yuan of Phoenix Creek. He had abandoned his pursuit of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Talents Ye Qing and Lin Wenti, and had come to their rescue instead!
"All of you, fall back!" Hong Yuan bellowed. With a sweep of his great sleeve, he shielded Li Qiyuan and Chen Hao behind him. The Celestial Script above his head, bearing the character for 'Public,' immediately blazed with brilliant white divine light, endlessly tangling with the yellow divine light radiating from the Yellow Earth Holy Sword.
Naturally, he had not come to save them without reason. Rescuing Li Qiyuan and Chen Hao, rather than killing the Demon Clan's Heavenly Talents Ye Qing and Lin Wenti, better served his interests.
