Chapter 995 - 88: Proving the Dao with the Demonic Body! Heavenly Emperor Fruition!

...

"As expected, it was still too much of a stretch..."

While simultaneously enduring the full counterattack of the Nine Emperors Marks of the Human Race, the dragon blood within Hong Yuan surged and boiled, blazing like the sun.

Just the aftermath of their clash shattered endless great stars into fragments, one after another Star River forever turning into dust.

One could well imagine how immense the pressure Hong Yuan was bearing.

Yet Hong Yuan’s expression remained as composed and indifferent as ever, as if it was not the Nine Emperors Marks of the Human Race besieging him, but him hunting the Nine Emperors Marks of the Human Race!

Rumble—

As the battle evolved in ferocity, the figures of the Nine Emperors Marks of the Human Race grew ever clearer.

Especially the first Emperor of the Human Race at the core—Dragon Sun Emperor!

In the common image, "Dragon Sun" wore plain hemp clothes, tall of stature, with gentle features and a scholarly air, like a private tutor.

But the "Dragon Sun" before him now was clad in azure-gold divine armor, manipulating divine lightning of the Ninth Heaven, swallowing mountains and rivers, roaring down the stars; every move incomparably overbearing, as if he wished to tear Hong Yuan apart alive, fearsome to the extreme.

With a tremendous bang, the thunder in Dragon Sun’s great hand suddenly exploded, spraying torrents of blue lightning, like a strip of silk; in an instant it wiped away the vast Food Tao Royal Tao Marks and struck straight at Hong Yuan.

At the same time, the taboo secret technique of the Dragon Sun Emperor Scripture reappeared, driving the eight other Emperors Marks to join in unison.

In that instant, the Royal Tao Marks of nine different lineages actually interlocked with one another, and a fissure of blazing light to the extreme spread open, seeking to annihilate the White Red Heaven and split the Purple-Gold Furnace in two.

This was a true and proper taboo mystic art, likely only the "Dragon Sun" as the first Emperor of the Human Race could perform it.

"This is that peerless Divine Power which made the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass die with hatred..." Hong Yuan narrowed his dragon eyes.

Back then, it was precisely through this peerless Divine Power that Nine-Leaf Sword Grass suffered the ambush laid by Dragon Sun, Starfire, and Zhao Heng, the three Emperors’ follow-up strike.

Otherwise, on what grounds could the Azure Lotus Heaven Lord have crossed realms to cut down Nine-Leaf Sword Grass with his sword?

"Rumble—"

Under the White Red Heaven, everything was a vast blur as the fissure of blazing light spread at extreme speed.

Royal Tao Marks in the tens of millions reappeared once more, destroying heaven and earth, enough to sever the river of time and tear through the constraints of space.

If this were not such a special key location as the White Red Heaven, the heavens and earth of the Martial World would likely truly be smashed to pieces!

Yet Hong Yuan merely gave his body a shake; within him erupted ten thousand strands upon ten thousand strands of Chaos Qi, and endless purple-gold Tao Mark waves surged forth, transforming into a Heaven Star Chart, with eight divisions of Star Gods sitting in town, brilliantly dazzling to the eye.

Not only that, the Creation Great Saint Dharma Body and the Purple Gold Thorns poured out one after another.

The former was transformed from the Dragon God Incense Body of "Great Moon Saint" Han Jiuming, and thus it pounced straight at "Soul Killing."

The latter was cultivated by the "Body as Seed" Holy Plant Method and had boundless ties to the Azure Lotus Heaven Lord, and thus it pounced straight at "Azure Lotus."

"Weng—"

The Great Taoism trembled, Royal Tao Marks collided with one another, spraying out infinite light; the aftermath annihilated Star Region after Star Region.

"Creation Great Saint" Hong Yuan had actually taken this kind of peerless Divine Power head-on!

What a heaven-penetrating Great Power this was~

These were the nine invincible figures of the Human Race who had suppressed multiple eras of the Martial World, yet they were being confronted and suppressed by Hong Yuan alone.

Even though they were merely Marks, with the blessing of the will of heaven and earth, they had all but recreated their former world-shaking divine might.

Only to hear Hong Yuan give a dragon’s roar; immortal light erupted over his whole body, and his purple-gold dragon robe instantly transformed into battle armor, ten thousand streams of divine glow, hundreds of millions of strands of auspicious radiance surging out violently; his terrifying battle aura surged like a vast ocean, rampaging through heaven and earth!

This was Hong Yuan’s boundless blood and qi; it was his "Body as Seed" method revealing its might.

As a Longevity Martial Arts cultivator, Hong Yuan had always been:

"If I don’t act, then I won’t move at all, treating the enemy as if they don’t exist, silently lying dormant, not exposing even the slightest fox’s tail."

"But once I choose to act, I will unleash thunder in a single strike, settling matters completely, not giving the opponent even the slightest chance to counterattack!"

[Heavenly Demon Dismantling]

[Heavenly Demon Dismantling]

[...]

[Life Span -10000]

[Life Span -10000]

[...]

In just an instant, Hong Yuan went full power; the fluctuations spreading from him shook heaven and earth and were enough to rattle eternity.

With a bang, Hong Yuan howled as he instantaneously rushed into the formation, charging in to kill.

He was like a peerless god-demon, cold lightning flashing in his eyes, forcibly withstanding the assaults of one Great Emperor Mark after another, yet still pouncing at "Soul Killing," to devour Soul Killing.

In Hong Yuan’s mind, if one ranked his understanding of the Nine Emperors of the Human Race from high to low, they would be Soul Killing, Azure Lotus, Dragon Sun, Le Tu, Zhao Heng, and so on.

His knowledge of Soul Killing came mostly from the "Han Jiuming dreamscape" and the "Soul Killing Demonic Intent Hundred Generations Reincarnation."

His knowledge of Azure Lotus came mostly from the "Azure Lotus Emperor" and the "Azure Lotus Emperor Sword."

His knowledge of Dragon Sun came mostly from the "Dragon Sun Emperor’s Child" East Supreme Saint...

Hence, once Hong Yuan went full power, the aura he erupted with was terrifyingly sky-piercing.

It was simply a single outburst that could not be stopped.

Having fully embodied the profound meaning of Longevity Martial Arts, Hong Yuan, relying on the advantage of endless Life Span, fought fiercer the longer he fought.

To deal with him, one could only kill him in a single blow; one must not allow him to cling to life.

"Clang~"

Brilliant light blazed from Hong Yuan’s body, and the purple-gold battle armor radiated a dazzling glow.

In the end, Hong Yuan revealed his True Body: a colossal purple-gold True Dragon nearly without boundary, rampaging and crashing about with sheer brute force, overbearing and ferocious, his demonic might surging to the heavens.

The bodies of the Nine Emperors Marks of the Human Race all roared together, as if countless suns were burning; with each breath they plundered a vast amount of essence, causing uncountable great stars to be destroyed as a result.
