Legend of the Great Sage

s of the ghosts, but even the Ghost Kings were forced back, afraid to approach him.

“Sure enough! There’s no need for you to decide on impulse, sister.
There’s still plenty of time ahead of you.” Gu Yanying felt the pressure on her lighten.
She turned around and asked, “You’re not helping out, sect master?”

The master of the Umbral Yin sect stood with his arms behind his back, far away on the side of the mountain.
This prominent existence of the Green province demonic path paid attention to all the battles, but he neither went to kill Li Qingshan under the King of Chu’s orders, nor did he deal with his mortal enemy, the master of the Sword Collection palace.
His entire stance on this matter seemed extremely ambiguous.
Who knew what he was thinking.
If he was willing to take action, he was enough to hold off the palace master.

“Fellow Gu, I’m an honoured guest of the king’s estate, while Xuanyue is the future sect master of the Umbral Yin sect.
I’m in a tough spot just like the Dauntless master!” The sect master grinned, revealing a set of pale-white teeth, but he did not seem like he was in a tough spot at all.

At this moment, Li Qingshan had eaten Zhu Fuzi’s soul nascence and let out a furious blast.
The white light whistled out.

“Hehe, that’s another one dead.
A pity, a pity.
If I could refine the soul nascence of great cultivators into a ghost slave, they would be extremely useful,” said the sect master.

Gu Yanying’s words made the Dark Queen think of something.
She raised her head and gazed into the white light, at the Fierce King of Chu.
Now, the Light Queen was already dead, while the crown prince Ji Xuanri had died with her.
The Sword Collection palace and the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga had both been weakened.
Among the three major sects of the Green province, only the Umbral Yin sect remained as powerful as before.
Xuanyue possessed such great strength that she had already become the optimal choice to inherit the King of Chu’s throne too.

He would always find this humiliating and unbearable in the moment, but as long as he made it through this battle, she could slowly convince him otherwise, and that did not necessarily mean there could not be any favourable terms.
Perhaps she could even reignite their previous sentiments for each other.

The grand hall was enveloped in white light.

 ……

“Reversal of the Five Elements, the Worlds in Distortion!”

The Fierce King of Chu swung his arm, and the pentagram before him pushed forwards, suddenly expanding to ten, to a hundred times its original size.
It revolved over Great Buddha mountain, causing the surrounding landscape to twist and change.
Compared to the hurried palm strike from earlier, who knew how many times more powerful this attack was.

Li Qingshan felt like he had fallen into a rapidly-changing magic mirror.
His limbs would be elongated at times and shrunken at others.
Everything before his eyes had become bizzarre.
Only the Fierce King of Chu constantly grew larger; he was like an indomitable god gazing down at him coldly and solemnly.
With a flip of his left hand, a golden seal crushed down.
It was deeply engraved with a few words, the King of Chu’s Seal!

In that instant, Li Qingshan felt like he was facing the great buddha’s palm strike again.
As the golden seal pressed down, he heard the voices of countless common people.
There was the hawking of markets, the reciting of scholars, the crying of children—all of the sounds the world had to offer, without any meaning behind them whatsoever.
They gathered together like a tsunami, flooding the surroundings.

“Die!”

“Impressive technique, fellow!” Li Qingshan said in praise. 

This strike alone bore some resemblance to the Dragon King of Ink Sea’s attacks.
If he had been a regular great cultivator, then all he could do was wait to be pulverised.
However, even his praise had been distorted by the landscape, becoming extremely strange-sounding.

His figure swelled up in the face of attack.
Thirty meters, three hundred meters, and so on, continuing until he reached over two thousand meters tall, assuming the body of the demonic and divine.
His iron hooves landed on the ground loudly, standing on the top of Great Buddha mountain and sending his hands upwards.

Boom!

His iron hooves sank deep into the ground, and countless cracks spread across the mountain.
If it were not for the fact that it had been seeping in holy light for the past ten thousand years, it basically would have collapsed.

“Just that isn’t enough to kill me!”

Li Qingshan’s laughter rolled out like thunder.
He stopped the King of Chu’s Seal with his arms and endless power flowed through his body, even making the distorted world turn back to normal.

Everyone raised their heads.
This sight was imprinted deeply in their minds such that they could never forget about it.
