Legend of the Great Sage

”

The locust clones wrapped in chains immediately stopped budging.

“He’s severed his connection with these clones.” Xiao An lowered the Buddha Slaying sword.

“What a pity.
If only we could finish him off like this!” Li Qingshan said, but he knew he was being wishful.
Even if Xiao An landed a stroke on the Soaring Locust King’s main body, she would struggle to claim his life.

“We’ll get our opportunities.
The slashes on him won’t heal so quickly.
I can try and divine his location.”

However, when Xiao An tried divining his location, the results were extremely vague.
Her divination could no longer keep up with her current cultivation, and her target was still a powerful Daemon King after all.

“There’s no hurry.
We’ll kill him sooner or later.”

Li Qingshan kept some locusts for Ru Xin and her experiments before letting Xiao An refine the rest.

The locusts were weak, but their numbers were far too great.
They formed mountainous piles in the Asura Field.
The second assault only had a tenth of the locusts from the first time, but almost a million people died in the mouths of the insects, which Li Qingshan gathered as well, indirectly becoming Xiao An’s resources.
It resulted in no less than the first assault.

It was rather strange now that it was mentioned, but Li Qingshan did not care too much about them.
Instead, Xiao An brought her palms together and recited a few scriptures before summoning the Samādhi Flames of White Bone and devouring the piles of corpses.

This was basically timely assistance to her right now.
Ever since she underwent the third heavenly tribulation, only the Buddha Slaying sword had grown stronger.
The Skull Prayer Beads and Blood Sea Banner that should have grown stronger as well were in a state of half-ruin.
These resources were perfect for her to repair them, so her strength returned to its peak.

However, under her quick estimations, there was a tremendous amount of resources, but they could probably repair only a single white bone arcane treasure completely.
After a slight consideration, she decided to start with the Skull Prayer Beads first.

The Blood Sea Banner possessed a space of its own, which could trap enemies inside, but this overlapped somewhat with the Asura Field’s function.
It was not as sturdy as the Skeleton Demon Formation assembled by the Skull Prayer Beads either.

As a result, with a swing of her hand, the Skull Prayer Beads scattered, turning into skulls in the air that flew around and cackled about.
The Skeleton Demon that battled the little phoenix turned into a rolling skull too, joining the mix.
However, apart from it, the other skulls were all cracked.
Some had their jaws chipped, while others had teeth missing.

Under the lead of the Buddha Slaying sword, the Samādhi Flames of White Bone surged out, and the skeletons gulped it down.
The cracks gradually repaired themselves.

The little phoenix retreated to the lower part of the dwelling.
Gazing at the blazing Samādhi Flames of White Bone, he instinctively felt fear.

“I’ll take you out to play very soon!” Li Qingshan patted the little phoenix on the shoulder and arrived in a corner of the dwelling, beginning to cultivate too.
He did not practise the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine, but the Demon Suppression Statuary.

The Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine had reached a new bottleneck, so he would struggle to make any more breakthroughs quickly.
On the other hand, a new opportunity had presented itself with the Demon Suppression Statuary.
After becoming a Daemon King, his demonic nature had strengthened yet again, giving him a firm foundation for refining the demon heart.
On top of that, he had the demon hearts of several Demon Kings in his possession.
He basically had everything prepared, and he only lacked one last critical element.

He only knew the first eight layers of the Demon Suppression Statuary, but as the greatest cultivation method of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, he only needed to master the first eight layers to reach the realm of Demon King.

Once he returned to the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, reached the ninth floor of the Demon Suppression hall, and comprehended the last layer, his human cultivation would reach a whole new level.
It would be able to rival one transformation of the demonic and divine at the very least.
His overall strength would reach a new peak!
