Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 724 - 490 I am Unwilling and Unable to Abandon My People Like Worthless Weeds! Advertisement

In a certain unnamed sea area, the Human Race's Heavenly Talent Lin Bu Jing clashed with the Demon Clan's Heavenly Talent Wei Qin.

The former wielded a host of Strange Fires, a rising talent in the Fire Tao, exceptional and unparalleled in genius.

The latter was the exceedingly rare Temporal Tao Variant Seed known as the Spring Cicada, possessing profound expertise and bolstered by the advantage of fighting on home turf.

For a time, the two sides were caught in a deadlock.

"Fire Tao Divine Power—Ten Thousand Fires Burn the Sky!"

With a boom, divine flames swept the sky, like the cry of a phoenix or the flapping wings of the Vermilion Bird.

There were precisely one hundred and eight types of Strange Fire either merging, colliding, or exploding...

Lin Bu Jing's momentum suddenly surged, as a vision of a meteor's flames plummeting to earth and a raging inferno on the ground appeared behind him. His power leaped forward in bounds, causing Wei Qin's complexion to darken like still water.

This place instantly turned a blazing red. The intense heat evaporated half the sea area in a moment, causing islands to vanish and the Demon Clan to wail.

"Damn it!" Wei Qin harbored deep resentment, spreading his hands and executing the Tai Chi Cloud Hand.

In a flash, layers upon layers of illusory waves condensed in his hands, followed by a series of dull echoes.

He then condensed an extremely compressed black water droplet in his hands, causing Lin Bu Jing's body to tremble and his spine to chill. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Temporal Tao Divine Power—Time Light Divine Water!"

The Time Light Divine Water was one of the ten miraculous waters.

It resembled water, yet was not water, flowing forth from the endless river of time.

This water contained the power of time; if accidentally touched, anyone beneath the Great Saint realm would decay under the endless passage of time.

SWOOSH.

A single drop of water, yet within it emerged visions: mountains of corpses and seas of bones, the Blood River, and jade-green pools. This sight immediately overwhelmed Wei Qin's aura, pressing it back.

At this moment, both parties had unleashed their ultimate trump cards!

"Die!" Wei Qin's hair danced wildly as he let out a piercing howl.

This droplet of black Time Light Divine Water gathered the deathly aura of the entire sea area, carrying the unwillingness of the remaining Demon Clan beings, and launched a fatal strike against Lin Bu Jing. It was determined to drag the invader Lin Bu Jing to the Gate of Life and Death, to perish together and end his life.

"Hmph."

Faced with such a terrifying attack, Lin Bu Jing merely snorted coldly.

A sacred, proud, and solitary bright orange flame suddenly rose in his hand, swiftly engulfing the one hundred and eight types of Strange Fire to form a miniature Fire Region.

In just an instant, it neutralized the Time Light Divine Water.

"Pre-Heavenly God Fire!!" Wei Qin's complexion immediately changed drastically.

As a Temporal Tao Variant Seed, the Spring Cicada, Wei Qin's lineage was profound. He was not some minor character ignorant of the world.

He was acutely aware of the terror of the Pre-Heavenly God Fire. This was a unique form of Tao Achievement that had once threatened to overshadow the Eternal Azure Lotus's path to emperorship.

And now, Lin Bu Jing actually possessed the Pre-Heavenly God Fire. Even though it was only an initial fire seed that had just reached the Saint Realm, it was truly astonishing.

"Master, rest assured. I will definitely continue steadfastly on the path ahead!" A flicker of determination flashed through Lin Bu Jing's eyes.

This seed of Pre-Heavenly God Fire in Lin Bu Jing's hands had been a gift from his master, Elder Dan, intended to allow him to gain greater Creation during his Saint Achievement Immortal Transcending Tribulation.

Body as Seed!

To be exact, it was using fire as seed—a supreme path to smelt all the myriad fires of the world. However, the process was exceedingly cruel, for with every additional Strange Fire Lin Bu Jing absorbed, he would suffer even more excruciating pain, potentially even dying from it.

Yet, compared to the dazzling future, Lin Bu Jing was willing to take this gamble.

This was the confidence of a man who never believed in destiny, and it was also the reason Elder Dan, upon his resurrection, had confidently let him grow on his own!

The full-scale assault of the Human Race was not just an empty claim.

Had it not been for the True Dragon of Great Moon's unforeseen strategy, the Demon Clan could never have clung to its Tao Heritage and civilization. This strategy had broken conventional Human Race thinking: the True Dragon used its extraordinary Life Span to ignore the environmental conditions of Black Heaven, thereby dominating it.

Therefore, during the era of the Soul Killing Demon Emperor, many of the Human Race's foundations had become useless and had lain wasted.

However, in the subsequent era of Le Tu Buddha, many of these foundations were restored one by one by Le Tu Buddha.

Now, the enormous foundation of the Human Race, which had produced nine Great Emperors, began to show its might.

Despite the battlefield being the Endless Sea Area, the Demon Clan's home ground, the war situation was entirely under the control of the Human Race, dominated by the Human Clan Sky Palace.

Under the strict control of the Human Clan Sky Palace, Great Saint fought Great Saint, and Heavenly Talent fought Heavenly Talent; they were essentially paired for combat.

In this way, the loss of combat power could be minimized to the greatest extent, allowing human morale and will to overwhelm the Demon Qi and Monster Intent.

Actually, the cost of doing this was not worthwhile, as the initiative was clearly in the hands of the Human Race.

But all of this was to allow the Dragon Sun Emperor's Child, East Supreme Saint, to act decisively and kill Xuan Guangqiao, the Demon Clan's destiny bearer, in one fell swoop!

The weather was gloomy, with a fine drizzle falling.

The sea breeze blew, and the sea surface churned with turbulent waves. In one area after another, life-bearing islands were swiftly retracted by the Demon Clan Saints, drawn into their personal inner worlds.

If it were not absolutely necessary, no clan would willingly be drawn into an inner world.

Compared to the external reality, the Saints' inner worlds had far too many deficiencies. It was not merely an issue for cultivation; the very environment for survival was much harsher than in the real world.

Only a few, like Hong Yuan and Shang Yaoqin, could comfortably accommodate their Blessed Land Cave Heavens within themselves.

For most Saints, their inner worlds were fraught with unending disasters, constantly on the verge of being torn apart!

At this moment, within a large encampment marked by a flag bearing a red dragon, the Demon Clan's Supreme Talent Li Jianqiu was receiving a report from her subordinate strategist.

"My lord, it's one thing to bring along those minor clans, but to go out of our way to gather all the common civilians is a significant burden and truly inconvenient," a green-robed old man with a turtle shell on his back said to Li Jianqiu, cupping his hands. "It would be better to command them to flee for their own lives!"

The other strategists and generals in the encampment could not help but nod, deeply agreeing.

"Yes, my lord, you've already done more than enough."

"We should indeed leave now. Otherwise, if villains like Li Qiyuan and Long Zhandu catch up to us, the consequences would be unthinkable."

A clamor of voices arose, but Li Jianqiu remained silently seated upon the main seat.

In the past, Li Jianqiu had always presented a stunning, peerlessly elegant image: holding an oiled-paper umbrella, clad in red.

Now, however, Li Jianqiu had her dark hair tied up high, was clad in Profound Black Armor, wielded a Deep Green Halberd, and had the Yellow Earth Holy Sword hanging at her waist. She exuded benevolence and profound kindness, her aura imposing and settled, like a virtuous sovereign pioneering new territories!

While Hong Yuan had been growing, Li Jianqiu, having found her own path of cultivation, also raced along the path of the Yun Dynasty, becoming increasingly profound!

VMMM.

The Yellow Earth Holy Sword, resonating with the power of fortune, emitted a sword cry, immediately silencing the assembled cultivators, who all turned their gazes to Li Jianqiu.

And in that instant, Li Jianqiu recalled the methods and circumstances of Xuan Guangqiao.

If Xuan Guangqiao rules with tyranny, then I shall rule with benevolence.

If Xuan Guangqiao is brutal and cold-hearted, then I must cultivate virtue and self-improvement.

Besides, how could I abandon the common people? If the Dragon Sun Emperor could do it, surely I can strive to do the same!

Her thoughts flashed like lightning, racing swiftly.

In a moment, Li Jianqiu made her decision.

She said in a grave voice, "Those in ancient times who accomplished great things always cherished the people, considering them the foundation, the most important. The ruler is secondary; the people are paramount. I am unwilling, and I cannot, abandon the common folk like worthless weeds!"

GASP.

The cultivators in the tent were stunned, their hearts trembling.

They all thought Li Jianqiu was being overly idealistic, practically daydreaming.

Yet somehow, they could not help but feel that Li Jianqiu... might actually be able to achieve it!
