Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 665 - 465

Ever since Dongfang Yang launched a surprise attack on Hong Yuan, the former number one commoner, the battle for Destiny had reached its climax.

One Great Dream Seed after another entered the fray, landing in the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent, plunging the situation there into chaos.

Almost every day, a different Great Dream Seed would make a name for themselves.

At the same time, their powers surged rapidly.

If Hong Yuan's Water Body could absorb and enhance its foundation and strength, it went without saying for the Great Dream Seeds, who were the true protagonists of the battle for Destiny.

Soon, no one mentioned Hong Yuan as the number one commoner anymore.

The eyes of the world were all focused on the eight Great Dream Seeds.

The setting sun was like blood.

The green mountains were picturesque.

With Xiao Yuan and Shi Lingmin working together, Master Wuxuan, a Great Dream Seed from the Western Desert, was directly killed by their combined forces. At this moment, Master Wuxuan's body collapsed, transforming into a thick, human-sized cluster of dreamy white light.

The dreamy white light split into two and rushed towards Xiao Yuan and Shi Lingmin. Just then, Xiao Yuan moved swiftly, like an eagle preying on a rabbit, launching a punch at Shi Lingmin.

"Hmph, I knew you were up to no good!" Shi Lingmin's delicate eyebrows arched as she scoffed.

Despite the restraint of a poisonous oath stating their alliance would only end after killing Hua Menghuang, the Soul Killing lineage was, after all, Demon Tao. How could Shi Lingmin not have prepared a backup plan?

"Dream Tao and Temporal Tao Divine Power — Water Mirror Flower Moon Fragmented Dream Round!"

WHOOSH...

A sound of waves crashing echoed as a heavy river phantom suddenly appeared behind Shi Lingmin, entwining around her like a mantle.

This mantle fastened at one end to the armband across her chest, then draped over her shoulder, swirling around her arms.

It made her appear like an immortal from Ninth Heaven, dazzling and radiant!

Shi Lingmin easily dodged Xiao Yuan's attack.

Xiao Yuan's pupils suddenly constricted. The shadow of a tributary of the River of Time?! He hadn't expected Shi Lingmin's trump card to be so terrifying. Once Shi Lingmin grows stronger, won't she be able to materialize heroes from the annals of time to fight for her? This will soon be mine! A rush of excitement surged through him.

"Dream Tao and Soul Tao and Killing Tao Divine Power — Nightmare Becomes Reality Devouring Soul Kill!"

A terrifying roar erupted from Xiao Yuan's mouth, like a baby's wail, yet also like an old man's heart-rending lament…

His body transformed into one with three heads and six arms as he laughed heartily, pouncing again on Shi Lingmin.

The battle persisted for a day and a night.

In the end, Xiao Yuan devoured Shi Lingmin alive.

Yes, he gnawed on her alive, bite by bite!!!

This was a grand battle that took place in full view of the public.

The appearance of the Devouring Soul Kill Divine Power caused a stir among the Human Race.

The tragic past of the Soul Killing Demon Emperor having to turn his blade on the Human Race of the five continents after slaughtering the Endless Sea Area — could it be that history was about to repeat itself?

"Killing Tao Divine Power? HISS…"

"Damn, could it be that Xiao Yuan, like his ancient ancestor, is about to forge a path of Killing Tao with the lives of countless members of the Human Race?"

"Demon Tao, this is outright Demon Tao. It is strongly recommended to kill Xiao Yuan; without him, we can still annihilate Xuan Guangqiao!"

A series of denunciations surged like raging waves in the discourse of the Human Race, raising huge commotions.

Even the Tao Heritage of Soul Killing, dignified as an Emperor Tao Heritage, found it challenging to quell the stirring of the various Saints of the Human Race.

For there were, after all, nine Human Clan Emperors!

The other Emperor Tao Heritages were also shocked by the emergence of the Killing Tao Divine Power.

Especially, the lineage of Dragon Sun found it hard to come to terms with Shi Lingmin's tortured and dreadful demise.

Such heart-shaking events would naturally come to the attention of the Heavenly Palace.

「Heavenly Palace.」

In the depths of the Scripture Pavilion, Dragon Sun Emperor's Child, the East Supreme Saint, passed a forbidden scroll to the Azure Lotus Empress, Flower Yingying, his expression calm. "This is an account and heritage of the Killing Tao from our ancestor Soul Killing."

After reading it, Flower Yingying sighed with resignation, "It seems we really need the Killing Tao to contend with Xuan Guangqiao..."

Despite their vastly different philosophies stemming from their different upbringings and backgrounds, these two descendants of Great Emperors ultimately did not interfere with the progress of the battle for Destiny.

When the Heavenly Palace remained aloof, stating that power's nature depended on its wielder rather than being inherently corrupting, and expressing their belief that Xiao Yuan wouldn't lose himself—

the public outcry continued, but many could only watch powerlessly.

「Within the Eagle Immortal Palace.」

Hong Yuan withdrew the Communicating Sky Bug and detached his thoughts from the Treasured Yellow Heaven.

"It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat; as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat!" Hong Yuan mused. "However, this 'Devouring Soul Kill' Divine Power seems to have been inspired by Food Tao."

"Soul Killing Demon Emperor, Soul Killing Demon Emperor…" he pondered. "Heh, names can be misgiven, but nicknames are earned. No wonder he's the only Demon Emperor among the nine Human Clan Emperors."

Indeed, he was truly intrigued by the 'Devouring Soul Kill,' a Killing Tao Divine Power.

This Divine Power was tantamount to cheating.

TSK, TSK... If I acquired this Divine Power, the growth rate of my Demonic Body would inevitably jump up a notch. Because in addition to using 'Food' to increase the foundation of my Immortal Aperture, there would now be the option to use 'Killing' to do the same.

Unfortunately, the Killing Tao Divine Power was extremely secretive, a peerless Divine Power from the Soul Killing lineage, circulating only among the core members, making it difficult for Hong Yuan to obtain.

「Half a day later.」

Upon returning to the Peak Master Great Hall of Rainbow Fire Peak, Hong Yuan's brows lightly lifted as he discreetly glanced outside.

Another Great Dream Seed was approaching Phoenix Creek.

But this time, it wasn't Dongfang Yang, but rather Shang Yaoqin.

Shang Yaoqin did not make a grandiose return.

On the contrary, she concealed her form, exceedingly covert.

The first thing she did upon returning was to come to Rainbow Fire Peak, seeking the one person she cared about the most—her senior martial sister, Ye Zhuyin!

When she saw her senior martial sister playing the guqin and practicing Sound Tao techniques, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"Senior martial sister, I will definitely make you happy every day, whether I live or die!" Shang Yaoqin hid in the shadows, gazing affectionately and lingeringly at Ye Zhuyin.

It could be said that without Ye Zhuyin, there would be no Shang Yaoqin.

All that she was today was given to her by her senior martial sister, Ye Zhuyin.

Naturally, Shang Yaoqin planned for Ye Zhuyin's future after the battle for Destiny, regardless of whether she herself would die in it.

Shang Yaoqin is lurking in the shadows watching Ye Zhuyin? TSK, TSK... their bond is indeed as deep as that between a mother and daughter, Hong Yuan mused. He had already discerned Shang Yaoqin's movements and sat comfortably in his chair.

Hong Yuan lifted the teacup beside him, removed the lid, and the rich fragrance of tea rose in a mist, enveloping his face.

If he hadn't noticed the close relationship between Shang Yaoqin and Ye Zhuyin, he wouldn't have treated Ye Zhuyin so well.

Rainbow Fire Peak was not a place where just anyone could stay!

After Shang Yaoqin quietly left the White Jade Palace where Ye Zhuyin lived, she decisively headed toward the Peak Master Great Hall of Rainbow Fire Peak where Hong Yuan was.

Still, she kept her form concealed.

Faced with this situation, Hong Yuan did not expose her, pretending to be unaware of Shang Yaoqin's return.

Because Shang Yaoqin's strength was now formidable, having surpassed his overt strength!

A breeze picked up, bringing a touch of coolness.

Hong Yuan, inside the great hall, looked outside, gazing at the blue sky and white clouds.

Behind Hong Yuan, seemingly no one was present, but in fact, Shang Yaoqin had already used Dream Tao techniques to hide herself.

At this moment, Shang Yaoqin's eyes shimmered with a green light, as if possessing the power to pierce through everything.

She was observing whether Hong Yuan was a true, virtuous ruler or a hypocrite.

If he turned out to be a hypocrite, then she would not entrust her senior martial sister Ye Zhuyin to him!

But what she did not know was that ever since that day Hong Yuan observed her astonishing transformation after absorbing Tang Tianlong's Divine Power, Hong Yuan had reinforced his Water Tao Incarnation with multiple layers of protection, making it impossible for her at this stage to see through it.

"A destiny bright and clear as the shining sun…"

"A rich heritage of Human Tao spirit…"

"This is the 'Public' character heavenly book gifted to him by the Heaven Earth Secret Realm, Book Mountain…"

Having observed Hong Yuan, Shang Yaoqin nodded contentedly.

If she entrusted her senior martial sister to Hong Yuan, she could go into the battle for Destiny with no regrets.

「A short while later.」

Shang Yaoqin left the Peak Master Great Hall.

「Another long moment passed.」

Shang Yaoqin reentered the Peak Master Great Hall, but this time, she did not conceal her form from Hong Yuan.

"Yaoqin?" Hong Yuan quickly rose to greet her.

"Senior martial brother Hong Yuan," greeted Shang Yaoqin with a smile, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

It was as if everything that had just happened never occurred.

Shang Yaoqin's expression was calm. "Senior martial brother Hong Yuan, I have learned of Dongfang Yang's attack. I've returned secretly this time; others do not know of it. I need to kill Dongfang Yang, and I need to draw upon the immense Human Tao fortune you possess to suppress him, so Dongfang Yang doesn't have a chance to escape."

"But..." Hong Yuan hesitated, "what if another Great Dream Seed attacks while we are away?"

"Don't worry, I can instantly take you back. Besides, I have a contingency plan," Shang Yaoqin replied with a faint smile.

The next moment, a spirit body suddenly emerged from her.

Observing this spirit body, Hong Yuan felt as if he were looking at Tang Tianlong...

The Great Dream Seeds, terrifying indeed!

But, countering fortune with fortune? Hong Yuan found it quite intriguing.

After all, he wasn't a Great Dream Seed; when it came to the specifics of the battle for Destiny, he didn't have the clear understanding that the Great Dream Seeds had.

But as soon as Shang Yaoqin mentioned using fortune to suppress fortune, he immediately understood.

"Hmm, I will support you, Yaoqin. But Dongfang Yang will not be easy to find, will he?" Hong Yuan nodded and then raised a significant question.

Hearing this, Shang Yaoqin smiled again, "Leave everything to me."

She removed the white Jade Flute from her waist, held it with both hands, and slowly began to play.

In an instant, the void seemed to ripple like water, and a Dream World with a green undertone emerged, containing various Dream Tao marks.

Hong Yuan even saw several Ferocious Beasts with strange appearances within, their auras incredibly similar to the Desolate Beast, Illusion Cloud Flood Dragon.

"A Dream World?" Hong Yuan voiced doubtfully.

"Precisely." Seeing Hong Yuan's expression, Shang Yaoqin was quite satisfied. She put away the white Jade Flute and stepped into the Dream World.

Hong Yuan followed closely behind Shang Yaoqin, keenly observing the Dream World.

Yet his heart remained calm, undisturbed.

His Original Body was a Dream Tao Saint, and he had already traversed Dream Worlds over fifty years ago.

At that time, he had the Dream Butterfly Fairy Worm at his disposal.

Of course, it had now become the Life Holy Artifact of his Original Body, named Dream Worm.
