Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 666 - 466 Don’t Be Too Proud
Sea State.
Four Seas Archipelago.
Originally, the Four Seas Archipelago was the ancient Tao Heritage site of the Four Seas Sect within the Sect Alliance. It was of utmost importance and inaccessible to anyone below the rank of core disciple or Elder of the various branches. But now, with the Battle for Destiny fiercely underway, this place had been occupied by the Golden Family from the Northern Region's Divine Continent and their followers! The most central Four Seas Main Island had been designated as the landing spot for Dongfang Yang, the Great Dream Seed from the Northern Region.
Of course, that was only on the surface.
As a Wisdom Tao practitioner, how could Dongfang Yang so easily reveal his whereabouts? Even though the Four Seas Main Island was surrounded by numerous great formations and heavily guarded.
Perhaps no one would have expected that Dongfang Yang was currently residing on the outermost small island!
A cunning rabbit has three burrows; it's truly unexpected that he would be here, Hong Yuan thought in surprise, giving an extra glance to his right.
There, a vague reflection of Dongfang Yang's platinum figure could be seen. He was currently seated cross-legged on a Taoist Mat, silently immersed in deep cultivation.
It could only be said that Shang Yaoqin, by leveraging the special connection between Great Dream Seeds to directly lock onto Dongfang Yang and then breach this world from the Dream World, had made a truly stunning move. It made Hong Yuan's eyes light up!
But this killer move would probably only work once.
Every move leaves a trail. In the Battle for Destiny, once an action was taken, intelligence would inevitably be exposed, and the other Great Dream Seeds would surely be on guard.
「Night.」
The moonlight was desolate, the sea breeze salty.
"Dream Tao and Luck Tao Divine Power—Dream Comes True!"
"Dream Tao and Sound Tao Divine Power—Revelation in Dreams, Rules Appear!"
Shang Yaoqin decisively activated her dual Dream Tao Life Talents, effortlessly merging the two.
At this moment, Shang Yaoqin was clad in an Emperor's black robe, the Yin-Yang Divine Fish Diagram reflected behind her. Her eyes were like the eyes of Heaven itself, as if she were the resurrected Heavenly Emperor—supreme and inviolable.
With a POP, she took the lead, charging out of the Dream World straight towards the physical island, with Hong Yuan immediately following.
BOOM!
Dongfang Yang, immersed in deep cultivation, suddenly awoke with the sense of an imminent catastrophe.
But all he saw were wild sound waves, carrying Dream Tao Marks, surging into the small island like a Star River flowing in reverse. This turned the sea surface a vast expanse of white, and a chilling murderous aura shook the entire Four Seas Archipelago.
Shang Yaoqin had made her move; she wouldn't act unless necessary, but when she did, her move was fatal!
"Shang Yaoqin! Hong Yuan!" Dongfang Yang screamed furiously, his eyes nearly splitting with rage; he had never imagined Shang Yaoqin would see through all his disguises.
But in that moment of life and death, he had no time for elaborate thoughts or to deploy his countermeasures, only managing to hurriedly activate his Bronze Bell.
The Bronze Bell shone across heaven and earth, the faintest trace of an Emperor's might spreading, attempting to seal the void.
It was precisely at this moment that the vast, ocean-like Human Tao great fortune on Hong Yuan surged forth, aiding Shang Yaoqin and enhancing her momentum even further.
CRACK! A corner of the Bronze Bell shattered and fell to the ground.
The violent sound waves, like a Star River flowing in reverse, smashed the small island—and indeed the entire Four Seas Archipelago—to dust, carving out a massive crater that stretched across half a province.
With this one strike alone, over a million died, without even a chance for a sea of blood to form.
How terrifying was that?!
At that moment, Shang Yaoqin's hand pierced Dongfang Yang's Aperture. Her body, wreathed in a vast array of azure Dream Tao Marks as tangible as reality, completely suppressed Dongfang Yang.
She began converting Dongfang Yang's myriad platinum Dream Tao Marks into her own foundation, forcibly stripping him of his Dream Tao Mystery!
Dongfang Yang half-knelt on the ground, his head hung low, his aura steadily weakening.
He struggled to glance towards the north, the direction of the Northern Region's Divine Continent.
Mother, Brother Zhen Wu, I... I've lost after all, hehe...
Dongfang Yang let out a self-mocking laugh.
His intricate schemes, too clever by half, had ultimately cost him his own life.
He had long anticipated this day. He just hadn't expected it to come so suddenly.
BANG—
The sound of an explosion erupted.
The platinum Tao Marks shattered, dissolving into motes of starlight that enveloped Dongfang Yang's form.
For a moment, Dongfang Yang seemed to return to his peak, appearing so divinely handsome and peerlessly intelligent.
He dissolved into a rain of platinum light, on the verge of complete annihilation.
The process was fast—incredibly, unbelievably fast!
It was so fast that Hong Yuan had barely managed to record any Dream Tao Mystery; the battle had been too one-sided, a complete rout!
Suddenly, Dongfang Yang's eyes widened. Glaring at Shang Yaoqin with a mixture of resentment and manic surprise, he spat, "Shang Yaoqin, don't you get too complacent! I've already seen the moment of your downfall, hahaha—"
His voice was hoarse and grating, yet laced with a chillingly joyful certainty that sent shivers down one's spine.
With those words, Dongfang Yang completely perished, leaving behind only a barrel-sized orb of illusory platinum light.
His words had been so definitive.
But…
A Wisdom Tao practitioner of profound attainment could indeed glimpse the future, not to mention that Dongfang Yang and Shang Yaoqin were both Great Dream Seeds, sharing an even closer, deeper connection.
Hong Yuan found it difficult to judge if Dongfang Yang was merely spouting nonsense at Shang Yaoqin or attempting a final, desperate bluff.
"Ridiculous," Shang Yaoqin said scornfully, her expression cold.
She was earnestly absorbing Dongfang Yang's Dream Tao Mystery, making it her own.
Curses are merely the laments of the weak.
At that moment, Shang Yaoqin fully embodied the aloof grace of a moon fairy, appearing even more ethereal and transcendent.
[Record +1,000]
[Record +1,000]
[...]
While Shang Yaoqin absorbed the brand-new Dream Tao Mystery, Hong Yuan had his Original Body secretly activate the Dream Medidation Fight space, frantically recording.
Previously, to secure the position of the foremost mortal, he had expended considerable effort. This was all to gather the vast Human Tao great fortune that even Shang Yaoqin needed to rely on.
He, Hong Yuan, was certainly not working for Shang Yaoqin for free!
WHOOSH!
Under Hong Yuan's watchful eye, a platinum, Rubik's Cube-like space slowly formed in Shang Yaoqin's hands.
The moment it appeared, it caused the heavens and earth to change color dramatically, day and night intertwining.
Most terrifyingly, beneath it, dazzling platinum divine light surged in all directions like an ocean.
Within this ocean of dazzling platinum divine light, vague yet terrifyingly powerful figures emerged.
There were gods with feathered wings dwelling in seas of clouds; butchers with great cleavers, their faces contorted in rage; and ferocious Asuras, roaring at the heavens...
The Six Paths of Reincarnation!
So this was the true Great Dream Seed, heh. It truly lived up to its reputation: once born, it would become the Strongest Saint, the Great Dream Emperor, Hong Yuan mused, standing to one side, slightly astonished.
When he compared Shang Yaoqin with the other Great Emperors and those who had achieved the Tao through unconventional means within the Dream Medidation Fight space, he was surprised. He found that among peers of the same rank, Shang Yaoqin could still be firmly placed in the highest tier—truly terrifying.
For Shang Yaoqin could still continue to evolve and transform; she currently only possessed three distinct Dream Tao Mysteries.
Once she unified all nine Dream Tao Mysteries, one could hardly imagine what kind of monster she would become. Perhaps then, she would genuinely have a chance to contend with his Xuan Guangqiao Demonic Body!
"Heavenly Demon Dismantling!"
"Heavenly Demon Dismantling!"
On his Original Body's side, seeing the recording speed dip, Hong Yuan decisively activated Heavenly Demon Dismantling to speed up the operation of the Dream Medidation Fight, highlighting its Flying Stone Power.
Finally, he managed to record this new Dream Tao Mystery completely just before Shang Yaoqin finished her absorption.
Even if there were some omissions, once he began to comprehend it, he could quickly fill in the gaps. It wasn't a major concern.
He was not the least bit anxious!
「Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Palace's Star Observation Platform.」
The Big Dipper Great Saint's breathing quickened, his face flushing with visible, palpable excitement.
"Good, good, good!" he exclaimed three times in succession.
Because the Human Race Emperor Star, already dazzling enough to seemingly illuminate the Five Great God Continents, was undergoing another transformation.
The Emperor Star's size suddenly increased by a third, and the divine light it radiated grew even more profound, with wisps of immortal mist coiling around it.
Such a transformation indicated that the struggle for the Human Race's Destiny was reaching its zenith, rapidly approaching its climax.
And the Dream Tao Master would soon be decided from among the remaining Great Dream Seeds!
It truly hasn't been easy,
Heh, the Demon Clan actually dared to scheme for the Dream Tao Master to prevent the emergence of our Great Dream Emperor? They're simply overestimating their capabilities!
"Stay vigilant! Continue monitoring the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent, and keep track of movements across all Five Great God Continents, even into the Endless Sea Area. Pay special attention to the whereabouts of Xuan Guangqiao..."
The members of the Star Observation Platform were ecstatic, whispering excitedly amongst themselves.
At this moment, they finally believed the Emperor Star's revival was genuine and not merely a fleeting phenomenon.
The advent of the Great Dream Emperor was now unstoppable!!!
"Shang Yaoqin, with Hong Yuan's help, effortlessly killed Dongfang Yang?!"
When Xiao Yuan, the Great Dream Seed of the Soul Killing lineage, heard this news, his brow furrowed deeply.
It was fast—far too fast. Shang Yaoqin had acted with incredible speed.
Xiao Yuan had greatly coveted Dongfang Yang, a fellow Great Dream Seed who cultivated both the Dream Tao and the Wisdom Tao.
The Wisdom Tao...
Once he devoured Dongfang Yang, his own strength would undergo a massive transformation!
Initially, he and Shi Lingmin had intended to ambush Dongfang Yang, not Master Wuxuan.
Unfortunately, Dongfang Yang, with his peerless intellect and cunning that surpassed even a fox, had been impossible for them to locate. In the end, they had been forced to target Master Wuxuan instead.
Counting the days, Hua Menghuang should also be making his move by now.
The thought of Hua Menghuang caused Xiao Yuan's brow to furrow even more deeply.
Hua Menghuang had always been his nemesis, a source of immense pressure.
He could never forget Hua Menghuang's dominant, unparalleled presence at the Aperture Opening Ceremony that day!
In the early morning, sunlight pierced through the trees, falling on Xiao Yuan's resolute face. His brow remained deeply furrowed, a tension that didn't ease for a long time.
He was desperately searching for a way to break the deadlock!
Half a day later, Xiao Yuan rose, bathed in the sunlight. The tightness in his brow had finally eased.
Hong Yuan, oh Hong Yuan, why must you throw your life away for Shang Yaoqin?
Since you're so eager to involve yourself in the battle between us Great Dream Seeds, then you can become a part of me!
A malicious sneer touched Xiao Yuan's lips, followed by a cold laugh.
He coveted both the great Human Tao fortune upon Hong Yuan and all of Hong Yuan's Creations!
This was also a prime opportunity for him to rapidly enhance his own strength.
Before the final confrontation, he had to use any means necessary to bolster his power.
He was going to "devour" Hong Yuan!
