Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar

Ever since he gained control of the "Myriad Silence Realm," a formidable technique, Hong Yuan's daily accumulation rate of Ice Armor Python evolution points had reached an overclocked state.

In the past two days, Hong Yuan had amassed evolution points to the level of [Ice Armor Python 5723/10000]. It was only a matter of a day and a half before he could step into the 6,000-point domain and once again enter the Bloodline Dream Realm of the Ice Armor Python.

But Hong Yuan had decided it was time to leave.

A major upheaval had occurred in the shallow waters, and the atmosphere of an impending storm grew increasingly palpable.

Currently, not only had the entire Iron Armored Saw Crocodile Clan fled to the shallow waters for refuge, but even third-tier Demon Beast clans like the Dragon Sea Horse and the Giant Evil Shark had dispatched a few elite members to scout the area.

Hong Yuan had even witnessed these ferocious Demon Beasts from the deep sea chattering away in the shallow water zone, communicating with each other.

Humans have their languages, and Demons have their own tongues.

Previously, as a second-tier Demon Beast of the Mysterious Water Snake species, Hong Yuan had no clan to shelter him or pass down any Demon scripture; his journey thus far had relied entirely on eating!

Fortunately, after evolving into an Ice Armor Python, he had gained access to some inherited knowledge.

The Ice Armor Python clan, fourth-tier Demon Beasts, were a powerful Demon Clan possessing the Bloodline Dream Realm. Once he fully evolved into an Ice Armor Python, acquiring the Demon tongue from the Bloodline Dream Realm would be trivial for Hong Yuan.

Yet, now, staying in the shallow waters was becoming increasingly dangerous. If status was determined by power, his position had degraded from the overlord Serpent King of the shallow waters to merely "Serpent Bro."

It was unstable, very unstable.

Therefore, Hong Yuan decided to make an early escape. He could not wait for the arrival and conclusion of the second Bloodline Dream Realm before fleeing!

「Mysterious Water Snake Cave.」

This place had completely transformed into a world of frost, with hard blocks of ice everywhere. Even flowing water streams, upon reaching this area, were trapped and turned into ice fragments.

THUD.

The Demon Beast Hong Yuan struck the icy ground, slowly unleashing the "Myriad Silence Realm" technique. He manipulated the cold air, causing layers of dense, hard ice blocks to pile up at the entrance, stacking them to their absolute limit.

After firmly sealing the entrance and forming a massive ice wall, Hong Yuan opened the leftmost of the three secret passages.

HUMMM.

With the aid of the "Myriad Silence Realm" technique, a passageway soon appeared.

Once he confirmed the passage was safe, Hong Yuan decisively hoisted his body and, without looking back, slithered into it.

Life is full of disappointments, but I'll be back. I'll just cede the overlordship of the shallow waters to you lot for now!

Hong Yuan's figure gradually disappeared. Ice began to accumulate in the secret passage, forming an ice wall that concealed it from view.

From then on, the Mysterious Water Snake Cave was without its master.

「Two hours later.」

A group of swaggering Iron Armored Saw Crocodiles once again passed by the Mysterious Water Snake Cave. As soon as the young leader of the Iron Armored Saw Crocodiles reached the area, its expression changed drastically, and it charged straight towards the Mysterious Water Snake Cave.

Previously, Hong Yuan's constant use of the "Frost" technique had concealed the presence of various Demon Beasts in the Mysterious Water Snake Cave. However, once Hong Yuan departed, the cave was left virtually unprotected and fully exposed in the shallow waters. Demon Beasts like the Iron Armored Saw Crocodiles had numerous methods to identify its location.

WHOOSH.

The waves surged with imposing force as a group of Iron Armored Saw Crocodiles quickly rushed to the entrance of the Mysterious Water Snake Cave.

Gazing at the ice wall before them, which was almost like Cold Iron, the Iron Armored Saw Crocodiles exchanged bewildered glances.

They had been patrolling this area for some time. How had they never noticed such an extremely dangerous place?

"Prepare for battle! Target: the cave," the young Iron Armored Saw Crocodile leader commanded.

"Received."

"Ready!"

The Iron Armored Saw Crocodiles responded one after another, coiling their bodies to build up strength, a black light shimmering from their armor, poised to strike!

BOOM.

The Iron Armored Saw Crocodile leader moved first.

It charged at the ice wall like a high-speed, out-of-control heavy truck, delivering a tremendous impact.

The ice wall trembled slightly but remained firmly intact.

The other Iron Armored Saw Crocodiles also charged forward, like multiple missiles launching, striking the ice wall with immense momentum.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Bit by bit, the ice wall was smashed, with chunks and shards of ice drifting and floating to the surface.

An hour later, the Iron Armored Saw Crocodiles successfully breached a large hole in the ice wall and entered one by one. Help us out by reading on M|V|LEM5PYR.

At this moment, when they saw the shattered green armored scales beneath their young leader, they all fell silent.

These were the flesh and armor of their kin, meaning an unknown, powerful Demon Beast had once specifically preyed on their Iron Armored Saw Crocodile Clan here!

"Search! Teams of five! The hunt begins!" the Iron Armored Saw Crocodile leader ordered coldly.

The Iron Armored Saw Crocodiles quickly formed teams. Some diligently searched the Mysterious Water Snake Cave for more information about Hong Yuan, while others rushed back to their main base to request the Iron Armored Saw Crocodile King's orders.

...

...

PLOP!

Slithering smoothly, the Demon Beast Hong Yuan emerged from a cave.

When the family of Shadow Leopards, the masters of the cave, saw Hong Yuan's figure, their faces instantly turned pale with fear. The two young Shadow Leopard cubs fainted, their eyes rolling back.

But, being half-frozen, these Shadow Leopards couldn't even attempt to flee.

Hong Yuan leisurely observed the den of Shadow Leopards, a look of amusement in his eyes.

In fact, he had arrived at this cave's secret passage nearly two hours prior. However, to prevent any unforeseen ambushes, he only broke through the cave's stone wall after gathering all necessary information.

Indeed, a family of Shadow Leopards. Hong Yuan mused.

Without tormenting them further, Hong Yuan executed a "Tiger Shadow," sending all the Shadow Leopards to their deaths.

After replenishing some of his bodily energy, Hong Yuan activated the "Myriad Silence Realm," which had only fifteen minutes of usage time remaining, and slowly swam out of the cave.

As he reached the cave entrance, Hong Yuan witnessed a scene that made his entire body tremble, yet also filled him with intense excitement.

The sky roiled with dark clouds, and peals of thunder rumbled from within. Torrential rain poured down, and endless bolts of lightning struck the huge yet seemingly insignificant figure of a serpent in the distance.

The massive serpent shadow writhed continuously above a large pond, stirring the wind and rain, enduring the trials of heaven and earth.

At that moment, Hong Yuan, standing atop the mountain peak, felt it tremble slightly. Looking down towards the mountain's base, he saw flash floods raging. Yellow torrents crisscrossed, all surging towards the distant, massive serpent figure. These floodwaters carried countless trees, boulders, and various Demon Beasts.

HISS. Hong Yuan drew a sharp breath and instinctively retreated back into the cave.

If I'm not mistaken, this serpent is attempting to transform into a Flood Dragon! To ascend to the ranks of Desolate Beasts, on par with a Martial Saint!

Suddenly, Hong Yuan understood why a host of unfamiliar yet powerful aquatic Demon Beasts had flooded the shallow waters. It turned out this formidable Demon Beast was using the deep waters to undergo its tribulation, preparing to transform into a Flood Dragon in one fell swoop!

After becoming a Flood Dragon, it would naturally enter the sea and conceal itself.

A Flood Dragon, huh? Truly a ferocious existence. Hong Yuan felt a touch of envy.

This Demon Serpent might not know what a ritual performance entailed, but its every action closely matched the nature and habits of a Ferocious Dragon. It was undoubtedly a Demon Beast with a powerful lineage!

Hong Yuan remained at a safe distance, silently observing this serpent predecessor, absorbing the experience.

One day, he too would become a Ferocious Dragon, causing the heavens and earth to change color and the mountains and rivers to tremble in awe!
