Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 731 - 493: Hong Yuan’s Awakening

In the era before the birth of the Azure Lotus Emperor, since the Human Race had already produced three Great Emperors, their power became incredibly vast, nearly monopolizing the training grounds of the Five Great Divine Continents.

Faced with such a situation, the myriad tribes rose to counterattack, and those who were radical called themselves "Demons"!

At that time, the Demon Clan launched their most frenzied counteroffensive against the Human Race. Various Emperor Artifacts and Emperor Arrays were deployed without holding back; it was an advance without retreat. The Human Race was pushed to such despair that they could only desperately hold their ground in the Divine Continent of theSouthern Border.

But, in the end, the Fourth Emperor of the Human Race, the Azure Lotus Heaven Lord, withstood the onslaught with his own strength, leading the Human Race to greatness once again.

After that, the Demon Clan couldn't compare to the Human Race in terms of legacy.

At this moment, even considering the overall situation of the Endless Sea Area, it was still under the control of the Human Race.

Even if the Demon Clan made a counterattack, they would soon be extinguished by the Human Race.

The situation for the Demon Clan was becoming increasingly perilous.

The four Demon Saint Lords of the Demon Clan made their moves, and the Five Great Academy Elders of the Human Race responded accordingly.

As the ancient will of the Demon Clan awoke, the Human Race's Emperor's sons and Empresses, along with their Emperor Artifacts, counterattacked one after another.

In such circumstances, within the Endless Sea Area, the Human Race's momentum and will gradually grew, while the Demon Qi and Monster Intent of the Demon Clan gradually withered away.

Against the orderly and ferocious onslaught of the Human Race, the Demon Clan could only retreat step by step, wailing incessantly, everyone feeling imperiled.

Unconsciously, a deep darkness enshrouded the heads of every being of the Demon Clan, with no light returning.

Subconsciously, they all looked towards the Dragon God Sacred Land.

They were hoping for Xuan Guangqiao, the Demon Clan's Destiny, to emerge and turn the tides, leading the Demon Clan to repel the Human Race's invasion!

But they also knew this was not very realistic.

After all, Xuan Guangqiao had been the Demon Clan's Destiny for barely thirty years and, if anything, would only be a seventh-order in cultivation.

But they had been oppressed to the extreme and eagerly awaited the emergence of a savior!!

「Dragon God Sacred Land.」

The night was eternally shrouded, with stars twinkling and scattering light.

Living here was like being in the vast sea of stars.

Without accurate coordinates, one could easily become lost on the starry paths, living out a lonely life until old age.

Typically, the Demon Saints traversing these paths did so with a calm and composed demeanor.

Each of them glowed like divine beings, transcending the ordinary.

But now, with the frontlines of the war growing intense, such scenes were seen no more.

WHIZZ! WHIZZ! WHIZZ!

The urgent and fierce sounds of tearing through the air erupted.

Colorful divine rainbows with trailing fiery tails shuttled rapidly through the starry paths.

Few were returning to the Dragon God Sacred Land; most were hurrying to the frontlines.

"Who would have thought that even Elder Time Worm and Elder Han Yan have fallen; I was just drinking and laughing with them not long ago."

"Alas, this is just the prelude to the war. The battles to come will surely intensify. You and I might well part ways between heaven and earth."

"Tsk tsk tsk. Don't speak such unlucky words. Let's hope the Heavenly Messenger grows up quickly and takes up the banner of our clan."

"Let's hope so..."

A squad of Demon Saints quickly conversed, the atmosphere a bit oppressive.

Simultaneously, as they completely left the Dragon God Sacred Land, they all glanced back at the Dragon God Sacred Land, which resembled a boundless star region.

In their eyes, there was a full measure of reluctance and unwillingness to leave.

Parting this time, no one was certain they could return alive from the frontlines.

But, as part of the Demon Clan, as part of the Dragon God Sacred Land, and as Saints among Demons, they couldn't persuade themselves to flee!

One should know, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.

Between the Human Race and Demon Clan, it's either us or them, not both!

Then, these Demon Saints, all with a determined look in their eyes, headed to the frontlines with a conviction to win.

"Farewell, the homeland that birthed and nurtured me."

"When I return triumphant, I will bring you glory and not tarnish the name of the Dragon God!"

「Destiny Demon Realm.」

「Purple Golden Palace.」

The List of Heaven was constantly buzzing, emitting one after another glittering silver light.

The brilliance was splendid, shining upon the face of Xuan Guangqiao... also known as Demonic Body Hong Yuan.

Demonic Body Hong Yuan bowed his head, staring at the white paper message sparrow in his hand.

His tall and upright figure bathed in the silver light, standing silently.

As the Demon Clan's current Destiny, carrying the great fortune, he could easily learn of any major changes on the warfront through various channels.

This white paper message sparrow contained all kinds of secret intelligence of the Demon Clan; the repercussions would be unimaginable if any of it was leaked!

Poison Chapter Demon Saint is dead, Time Worm Demon Saint is dead...

The Human Race is close to advancing to the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land. The situation is extremely urgent.

Heh, it seems that the Human Race considers me, Xuan Guangqiao, as nothing more than an ant, easily crushed to death...

Hong Yuan's lips slowly curled up in a cold smile.

Upon learning the news of the Time Worm Demon Saint and others who had fallen in battle, Hong Yuan, out of respect, abandoned the idea of using the Time Light Divine Water to cleanse the grave of Time Worm Demon Saint after making progress in his cultivation.

Frankly speaking, facing such a rotten situation, if Hong Yuan were to take action, as long as he fully displayed the combat power of the Demonic Body, he might be able to throw the Human Race into chaos and even lead the Demon Clan to push back across the Five Great Divine Continents.

But this approach is far too risky.

After all, who knows what kind of sky-reaching methods the Human Race has up its sleeve?

While the Human Race's momentum and will have not yet surpassed Demon Qi and Monster Intent in the Endless Sea Area, the inability of humans to kill the Demon Clan's Destiny does not mean they can't seal it, right?

By then, the cultivation advantage held by Hong Yuan's Demonic Body would have been caught up to and even surpassed by Shang Yaoqin, which would be very unworthy.

Moreover, the true essence of Hong Yuan is that of an Extraterrestrial Demon!

Among the Human Race, I am Phoenix Creek's Hong Yuan.

Among the Demon Clan, I am Destiny's Xuan Guangqiao.

But at heart, I am always an Extraterrestrial Demon!

I'm fine with gilding the lily, but as for sending charcoal in a snowstorm, I'd rather not.

And for my Demonic Body to safely reach the Unconventional Tao Realms, now that would truly honor the myriad beings of the Demon Clan...

Hong Yuan thought to himself.

His face once again regained its usual indifferent expression, unmoved by worldly affairs, as if an Immortal God standing above all.

With a gentle force from his hand, there was a snap, and the white paper message sparrow in his hand turned into a light shower, dissipating into nothingness.

Then, his gaze shifted to the List of Heaven that was roaring at all times.

On the List of Heaven, there were the true names of one peerless Heavenly Talent after another.

[Li Douhu]

[Tang Yi'er]

[Huzhen]

[...]

A total of fifty-seven!

In other words, up to now, Hong Yuan had cultivated fifty-seven Food Tao Saints within the Destiny Demon Realm.

This was a very formidable force, fully demonstrating Hong Yuan's exceptional nature.

However, these Food Tao Saints couldn't really be considered true Saints.

Because they did not possess an Immortal Aperture within them!

The Saintly power of these Food Tao Saints was largely drawn by leveraging the Destiny Demon Realm.

To become true Saints, Hong Yuan needs to release them from the Destiny Demon Realm, to harmonize with the outside great world; only then can they initiate their Saint Achievement Immortal Transcending Tribulation.

Alternatively, Hong Yuan could proactively open up the Destiny Demon Realm, letting it merge with the great world, and willingly expose the Destiny Demon Realm to the outside.

But whether it was the former or the latter, at this stage, Hong Yuan had no plans to do so.

Because his Demonic Body has not yet reached the Unconventional Tao Realms!

The exact level of his Demonic Body's cultivation has always been a key point that Hong Yuan has concealed.

If possible, he wants his Demonic Body to achieve Tao silently.

Quietly, very quietly.

The progression speed is 30% now, huh.

Hong Yuan placed his hand on the List of Heaven, feeling even more deeply the accumulation of the Destiny Demon Realm's Immortal Aperture Origin.

And this, is the result he achieved from devouring numerous Great Moon treasures.

Unfortunately, that's all there is.

If things proceeded normally, it wouldn't take twenty years before Hong Yuan's Demonic Body reached the peak of a Quasi-Emperor.

Such growth speed is terrifying!

But it's not enough, nowhere near enough.

Because the Human Race could send a large army to attack at any time.

Even though he is considered a demon among the Demon Clan and a human among the Human Race, Hong Yuan isn't too keen on burning his own Life Span for the sake of the Demon Clan.

Therefore, if he wants his Demonic Body to continue growing rapidly, Hong Yuan needs to find another way!

Thinking this, Hong Yuan stood tall.

With one hand behind his back, he gazed north, his eyes profound.

There lay a Secret Realm closely watched by the Nine-tailed Crocodile Dragon, the Sky-connecting Tower spirit, and the Great Moon Spirit.

Hong Yuan could clearly feel the rich Star Power and Great Moon forces contained within, not inferior to the Dojo in the Land of Oblivion.

This is a tremendous Creation!

If nothing unexpected occurs, that should be the contingency plan set by the Demon Clan's Great Moon Saint Han Jiuming.

Should he absorb all of it, he would certainly be pushed to the eighth-order, third tribulation stage.

There lies the profound foundation accumulated over tens of thousands of years by the Dragon God Sacred Land!

To take without asking is to steal.

But there is a reason for everything, and I am doing it for the Demon Clan, after all.

Hong Yuan revealed a smile.

With a light step, his figure instantly vanished from the Destiny Demon Realm.

For a conventional eighth-order Saint, passing three tribulations means becoming a Great Saint.

But Hong Yuan's Demonic Body is different!

Once his Demonic Body reaches the eighth-order, third tribulation realm, his strength will undergo a monumental transformation.

His Demonic Body will be able to leap directly from a common eighth-order, surpassing an eighth-order Great Saint, then an eighth-order Quasi-Emperor, to instantaneously reach the peak of a Quasi-Emperor!

Because not only has his Demonic Body amassed more than three hundred thousand Food Tao Marks, but he has also attained the position of a Food Tao Master.

Once his Demonic Body reaches the state of the eighth-order, third tribulation realm, by then, he will be just one step away from an Unconventional Tao Achievement.

If he finds a suitable opportunity, to quietly ascend to Black Heaven, and initiate the Unconventional Tao Tribulation, heh heh...
