Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 866 - 540: The River of Time Flows Only Forward
This is because both sides have poured a vast amount of resources into them, and the continuous life-and-death battles have spared them from worrying too much about unstable foundations or natural calamities.
It can be said that the emergence of destinies from Xuan Guangqiao and Shang Yaoqin, especially the Tao achievement of Xuan Guangqiao, has immediately brought the grand stage to life.
Otherwise, this new generation of Saints would never have such an unprecedented opportunity for rapid advancement.
Are the elder Saints less talented than the new generation?
No, not necessarily.
Who among the Saints is not a protagonist of an era?
For whatever reason, one thing is certain: the stage for the elder Saints is not as grand as theirs.
This grand stage signifies the battle between the two clans and involves the entire Martial World!
This is the best of times.
It is also the worst of times.
The grand era is in full swing!
And under such circumstances, in the 20th year of the Creation Era, under the guidance of the Creator Saint Xuan Guangqiao, the Demon Clan advanced triumphantly, gaining ground step by step, and occupied one-third of the Western Desert Divine Continent, planting Demon Banners across the deserts and oases!
A chorus of lament rises from the Human Race.
It was precisely at this moment that the Demon Clan began to withdraw, consolidate territory, digest resources, and strengthen their power...
This is a blatant strategy of "profiting from war to support war"!
Once the Demon Clan attacks again, they will undoubtedly be more fierce. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Does the Demon Clan, or rather Xuan Guangqiao, not fear the growth of Shang Yaoqin?!
However, this action by the Demon Clan gives the Human Race a headache.
The reason the Demon Clan is holding the upper hand is simply due to the presence of a Tao-achieving individual in their era.
If the Demon Clan truly wanted to sweep across the Five Great God Continents and devour them in one fell swoop, the Human Race would not feel as pressured and would surely deliver a heavy blow to the Demon Clan!
A million years of accumulation and foundation are not just idle words!
But...
Light rain falls, whispering through the leaves, dripping into the pond with a steady patter.
"Boom——"
A bolt of lightning streaks across the ink-dark sky, illuminating the somber Western Desert Academy below.
The Western Desert Academy is steeped in silence.
In various chambers and palaces, Saints of the Human Race lurk quietly, standing silently in the rooms.
Has the sky changed?
...
...
As changes occur in the Mortal Realm, the cosmic events in the Black Heaven above are also subtly transforming.
In the dim Thunder Emperor Star Field, silver lightning streaks across, followed by continuous rumbling of thunder.
Various terrifying Divine Thunders such as Jia Gold Divine Thunder, Decreasing Wood Thunder, Kui Water Divine Thunder, Qiao Fire Divine Thunder, and Earth Divine Thunder circle around the Thunder Emperor Ancient Star, surging across the sky and spreading wide.
These Variant Seed Divine Thunders occasionally transform into beasts or fierce birds, making the Thunder Emperor Ancient Star incredibly lively.
At the very core of the Thunder Emperor Ancient Star, a Tao Rhyme resembling a humanoid lightning gradually forms.
The Thunder Emperor!
A legendary ancient spiritual being that enforces heavenly punishment on behalf of the heavens.
He was meant to vanish in the long river of time, drift away with the wind, and utterly erase his own presence.
But due to Xuan Guangqiao... or rather Hong Yuan's astounding means, his Tao Rhyme is once again coalescing.
He will, like the Heavenly Horned Ant, re-emerge in the Martial World to fight for Hong Yuan and guard the Black Heaven.
Of course, he is still far, far from revival.
And even if he revives, he would still be merely the energy essence of the Stars, hardly a real Thunder Emperor.
Yet as long as Hong Yuan continues to nurture him, he might one day turn false into reality!
Changes similar to those on the Thunder Emperor Ancient Star are ubiquitous in the Black Heaven.
Now, with the soaring fate of the Demon Clan, each Star Region in the Black Heaven undergoes brand new transformations.
The demonic body Hong Yuan can feel this change even more profoundly.
"My power... no, it's not just power, but my Destiny Grid has actually elevated significantly."
"This is the wonder of the Destiny Grid, it is closely tied to the clan. Who would have thought that the importance of the Five Great God Continents is even greater than I imagined!"
"In other words, if I lead the Demon Clan to capture the Five Great God Continents, my... distance to the legendary Great Emperor Position, would truly be just a half-step away?!"
Hong Yuan is somewhat surprised.
He did not expect the Destiny Grid to continue transforming and rising.
The main reason is the overwhelming pressure from the East Supreme Saint, which left him no time to delve deeply into the Destiny Grid, forcing him to bury his head in arduous cultivation to constantly enhance his prowess.
But actually, it makes perfect sense when considered.
After all, the Destiny Grid of the Demon Clan can indeed backfire and decline, as illustrated by "Heavenly Horned Ant" Tianli and "True Dragon of Great Moon" Han Jiuming.
Thus, it stands to reason that while it can fall, conversely, this Destiny Grid of the Demon Clan is certainly capable of continuing to rise higher!
"Heh heh, interesting, very interesting."
Hong Yuan's lips curled into a gentle smile.
Now he had one more reason to invade the Five Great Continents.
He could feel that once he breached the Five Great Continents, he would nearly amass the fortune of the Martial World and seize all possibilities.
In short, his position as the Demon Emperor was destined!
Conquering the Heavenly Earth River and Heaven Earth Barrier would be even more effortless!
"Hoo——"
Hong Yuan took a breath towards the Destiny Demon Realm Dragon and closed his eyes in satisfaction.
At this moment, he truly confirmed that his upper limit had been broken.
The heavy shackles of destiny had also diminished by more than half, and the power he could freely wield in the Divine Continent of Western Desert had increased by at least thirty percent!
So, the heavenly attacks and restrictions he faced before were entirely because his Demon Clan Destiny Grid wasn't strong enough to support his strength?!
At this moment, that feeling of "virtue not matched with position" was not so intense.
A powerful sensation overflowed from the deepest part of his heart.
This feeling was not physical strength, nor spiritual grandeur, but the favor of heaven and earth!
After his Tao achievement, the sense of being the favored child of heaven and earth slightly returned.
It's hard to imagine; if he were to conquer the Five Great Continents, would it allow him to surpass the barrier of White Red Heaven and directly wield the Heaven Heart Imprint?
Hong Yuan eagerly looked forward to that day!
...
Meanwhile.
In the Ink Sea of the Heaven Earth Secret Realm, where the human race's destined inheritances were stored.
The Starfire Emperor Dojo.
"Heart set on the rising sun, everyone is like a dragon. Hold thy fire, illuminate the human race..."
Shang Yaoqin, who was receiving the teachings of the Starfire Emperor across the ages, suddenly blushed.
A mouthful of hot blood flowed uncontrollably from her mouth, staining her emperor's black robe crimson.
Shang Yaoqin stared dazedly at the bright red bloodstain on the front of her chest, her gaze vacant.
A strong sense of loss deeply entangled her heart.
"Has the world changed, and the Demon Clan successfully invaded the interior of the Divine Continent?"
Shang Yaoqin felt dizzy.
Her heart suddenly flashed with the beautiful face of her senior sister, Ye Zhuyin.
In an instant, she vigorously shook her head, patting her enchanting face with both hands.
She must not give up!
She absolutely could not leave her senior sister alone in this cruel world!
Now, Shang Yaoqin only needed the Starfire Emperor Dojo and Dragon Sun Emperor Dojo to be able to emerge.
...
Demon Qi and Intent permeated the lands of the human race, with the Demon Clan occupying one-third of the Divine Continent of Western Desert.
As a result, Hong Yuan achieved his initial goal, allowing his demonic body to continue growing!
And this was essentially a process of reversing the old order of the Martial World.
Because in over a million years, the Demon Clan never touched the Five Great Continents, not even the True Dragon of Great Moon, who merely wreaked havoc upon the Divine Continent of Western Desert.
The reversal of the old order of the Martial World also meant that the Heavenly Earth River established by the Nine Emperors of the Human Race against the barrier of White Red Heaven had already begun to reverse!
Is destiny being shattered?
And at the barrier between Black Heaven and White Red Heaven, there was an eternal shroud of gray mist.
This black mist rose and fell, obscuring Divine Sense and making directions difficult to discern.
"Dong——! Dong——!——Dong——"
The heavens and earth roared, all things darkened, vast yet silent.
A red torrent surfaced, rolling and surging in front of the White Red Heaven barrier, rushing forward incessantly and powerfully.
Within this red torrent were scenes of the rise and fall of the human race's history.
Now, the Heavenly Earth River spontaneously gathered, its fury surged, with the blurred silhouettes of nine Great Emperors desperately struggling, as if wanting to break free and return to heaven and earth.
Especially the two blurred silhouettes of Le Tu Buddha and Soul Killing Demon Emperor!
The human race's contingency?
Are they trying to break through the river of time and return?
But in an instant, everything returned to tranquility, the blurred silhouettes collapsed, and the Heavenly Earth River slowly dissipated.
As if saying:
The past is past.
The present is the present.
The future belongs to the future.
The river of time cannot flow backward…
