Legend of the Great Sage

ormations, but from his own conscience.

He did not work so hard in pursuit of power to become someone else, nor was it possible for him to become someone else.

He was him, Li Qingshan!

In that moment, the incompatible powers of the spirit turtle and phoenix gradually merged together.
Fire and water aided one another, growing and thriving together.
This was not just a balance between the two transformations, but also his demonic nature receding and his divine nature growing.

The various powers in him merged as one, no longer possessing any element of conflict.
Immediately, his strength had reached a whole new level.

The Blade Spirit of Frenzy Flower originally wanted to rebuke him, but sensing the change in his aura, she could not help but remain silent.
Perhaps the principles of the Asura realm could not be applied to everything in the world.

Very soon, Li Qingshan comprehended the fourth innate ability of the phoenix.
A powerful vitality spread through his body, right through his soul.
Without any surprise, it was still the Phoenix’s Nirvāṇa!

He bent his fingers and counted. This way, I can rebirth four times.
If I set aside the time when I turn into an egg, that’s three times.
I just died once, so in other words, I can still undergo rebirth twice. He could not help but smile.

If the palace master knew about this, he probably would have fled on his sword immediately.
He would not even dare to consider killing Li Qingshan another two times.

The Fierce King of Chu powered the golden seal again, which slammed down heavily.
The palace master swung the Heaven Leaning sword again too.

“It’s all the same old stuff!”

Li Qingshan stood with his hands behind his back and watched the attacks without dodging.
He was not in dire straits, so there was no need to use something like A Madman at Path’s End, and he did not exactly hold much fury towards a dead person, so he could set the Frenzy of the Tiger Demon aside too. Since you want to overwhelm me with strength, I’ll show you real strength!

The bellow of an ox seemed to ring out from the depths of Great Buddha mountain.
Li Qingshan’s body expanded rapidly.
Thirty meters, three hundred meters, fifteen hundred meters… 

Everything seemed to be a repeat of the past… 

But this time, he did not transform into his usual body of the demonic and divine.
Instead, he turned into a colossal ox demon, standing on Great Buddha mountain.

Ox Demon Transformation, daemonification!

He had become much smaller and shorter compared to before, only around fifteen hundred meters tall, but he seemed even more firm and impregnable than before, becoming a part of the earth itself.

Boom!

Great Buddha mountain shook violently, and a pair of hooves sank deeply into the ground.
However, no matter how hard the Fierce King of Chu tried, the golden seal was unable to advance another inch, which left him stunned.
He understood exactly how powerful the golden seal was.
Even when the detonation of the soul nascence from earlier had shaved away some of its power, it could still easily crush a mountain.

Li Qingshan raised his left arm high in the air, using a single hand to stop the King of Chu’s Seal.
His ox eyes were silent and calm, without any fury, without any killing intent, just persistence that would never bend even until death.

The four innate abilities of the ox demon had become like instinct.
They had become as normal as eating and drinking.

The Strength of the Earth provided him with the greatest support, and he could use the gravity of the Earth as he pleased now, turning it into a great repulsive force that served as great assistance in holding off the King of Chu’s Seal.
The Ox Demon Forges its Hide made it such that the sword slashes only left behind white marks on his body when they landed on him, vanishing in the blink of an eye like small scratches.

The palace master wheezed slightly.
The prolonged battle made him feel exhausted too.
He had already become rather weary when he faced the endless innate abilities, even feeling a hint of despair.
Just what else was Li Qingshan capable of!?

“Tremors of the Ox Demon!”

With a deep bellow, the earth shook and rumbled like thunder.
Waves of the power of tremors rose up from his feet, gathering in his right hand.
He slowly curled his fingers into a fist as he threw a punch at the King of Chu’s Seal.

With a great boom, the King of Chu’s Seal was lifted upwards, and an entire layer of the golden light was shaved away.
The destructive power behind the punch was actually no less than the detonation of a soul nascence.
