Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 757 - 503

「Late at night.」

「Purple Gold Dragon Palace, Central Hall.」

East Supreme Saint bowed his head over the desk, holding a Jade Simple. He was engrossed in the global intelligence reports, determined not to give Xuan Guangqiao any opportunity to counterattack and turn the tables! As the Dragon Sun Emperor's Child, East Supreme Saint was keenly aware of how unreasonable beings blessed by Destiny could be. Turning disaster into safety, breakthroughs on the battlefield, escaping death's clutches, transforming crises into opportunities... There was nothing one could imagine that they couldn't achieve.

When dealing with such individuals, one either didn't act, or if one did, the strike had to be fatal, leaving absolutely no gaps or flaws!

"Father, Junior Brother, blind benevolence is utterly inadvisable."

"The Way of King must be tempered with tyranny; only then can it be considered the Great Taoism. Any demon-kind who refuses to submit to our Human Race—they all deserve to die!"

A frown creased East Supreme Saint's brow, his killing intent surging. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

At this moment, the collective will of humanity had completely suppressed the Demon Qi and Intent. Xuan Guangqiao's Destiny Grid could now be effectively nullified, presenting the perfect opportunity for a hunt. East Supreme Saint was already prepared to sacrifice everything in the upcoming battle. He intended to destroy the Falling Abyss Holy Land and then the Dragon God Sacred Land, annihilating Xuan Guangqiao in one fell swoop. This would allow Shang Yaoqin to re-attain the status of Dream Tao Master and carve out a bright future—a Green Heaven—for the generations of the Human Race to come!

His success need not depend on himself. Yet his success must include him.

Moreover, intelligence obtained from the Heavenly Palace's Star Observation Platform made East Supreme Saint deeply uneasy. The Demon Clan, it seemed, possessed a method to free Xuan Guangqiao from the "lock of Destiny"! Reflecting on this expedition, East Supreme Saint knew all too well that his own overzealous aggression had led to far too many unnecessary sacrifices.

"Great momentum is hard to change." East Supreme Saint sighed internally. "It's not that I don't want to stop; it's that there's no turning back now. Moreover, we *can't* turn back. Xuan Guangqiao, you must die with me. Your sacrifices... the Human Race will remember them."

To kill Xuan Guangqiao, not only had many Martial Saints perished, but he had even sacrificed the countless common people of the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent. All of it was done merely to bring forth a new Destiny of Great Dreams, one even more formidable than Xuan Guangqiao. It was a profound pity that all previous plans had been ruined, all efforts coming to naught, the moment Xuan Guangqiao attained the status of Dream Tao Master. It was truly like meticulously embroidering a wedding gown year after year, only for it to be worn by another.

Therefore, this coming battle—East Supreme Saint had to win it, and win it spectacularly. Even if it meant being shattered to pieces, he had to drag Xuan Guangqiao with him to the Gate of Life and Death.

Must! Absolutely! Definitely!

「...」

The next fierce clash between the Human Race and the Demon Clan finally arrived. The Human Race mobilized, besieging the Falling Abyss Holy Land. The Demon Clan, their resolve to die already set, stood their ground firmly, refusing to retreat.

Anyone could understand the importance of the Falling Abyss Holy Land. If the Falling Abyss Holy Land were to fall, the Demon Clan would lose three-quarters of their territory to the Human Race. The Human Race's advantage would then decisively shift into a winning position. For the Demon Clan, while the death of their Destiny, Xuan Guangqiao, was a grave matter, the fall of their civilization and various Tao Heritages was an even greater catastrophe!

Heaven and earth roared. Pockets of space shattered like mirrors, riddled with spiderweb cracks. Wild winds and thunder spread, while white holes fluctuated unpredictably. Seas overturned and Chaos Qi surged furiously. It tore through the very origin of reality, stirring up endless giant waves that angrily and fiercely proclaimed their majesty to the world. Such a terrifying cataclysm was enough to annihilate a Great Saint.

But facing the Human Race Army at their very gates, the Demon Clan's efforts were merely the struggles of the dying. The military might of the Human Race Army was terrifying, aptly described by the verse: "Dark clouds press down, threatening to crush the city; armor glints in the sun like golden scales unfurling." The Demon Clan Army already felt suffocated by the pressure!

"If the city falls, there is only death."

"Jianqiu, Ah Qin, you've already done more than enough."

"Go back. Leave the rest to us old-timers."

"The world is yours, as it is ours, but ultimately, it belongs to you."

"The future and hope of the Demon Clan are entrusted to you. HAHAHA..."

Dragon God Saint Lord Han Tiandao laughed with bold abandon, then drew himself up to his full height. He moved to stand before the group of Demon Clan Heavenly Talents eager for battle, shielding them and leaving them only the sight of his tall, receding figure.

If it were possible, he, Han Tiandao, would also wish to flee.

But he could not! He was not merely a blood descendant of the Great Moon Saint, shouldering the glory of the Great Moon. He was, above all, the... Saint Lord of the Demon Clan!

The artifact spirit of the Sky-connecting Tower sensed Han Tiandao's unyielding resolve to die and immediately manifested its Original Body. The Sky-connecting Tower rumbled violently and instantly hovered above Han Tiandao's head. Threads of Chaos Primordial Qi cascaded down, transferring the Tower's power into him. In that instant, Han Tiandao's aura surged limitlessly, elevating his power to a level nearly comparable to Flower Yingying's.

However, anguish was visible in the eyes of Li Jianqiu, Wei Qin, and the other Demon Clan Heavenly Talents. They all understood that Han Tiandao was embarking on a path of no return, and he wouldn't be able to buy them much time. What Han Tiandao was doing was no different from courting death. Yet, if he didn't do this, the Demon Clan had no other recourse!

CLANG! A sharp sound pierced the air as a brilliant white frost saber light surged to the heavens. It was like the descent of heavenly judgment—majestic and towering. The area turned into a vast expanse of white, and an icy killing intent vibrated through the surroundings. Dragon God Saint Lord Han Tiandao attacked the Azure Lotus Empress, Flower Yingying!

"The mere light of a firefly dares to compete with the bright moon?" Flower Yingying's lips curled in a disdainful sneer.

She casually swung the Azure Lotus Emperor Sword. Instantly, Chaos Sword Radiance filled the heavens and earth, an overwhelming torrent of power that crushed the white frost saber light, its ferocious might surging to the skies.

An Emperor Artifact will not be shamed!

And with their engagement, the great war officially began.

At this very moment.
