Legend of the Great Sage

Qingshan looked back.
The Immortal Relinquished sword emerged from space and turned into a curved streak of light, vanishing into the Demon Suppression hall.
Now, all he could hope was that the Demon Suppression hall was tough enough to withstand the sword slightly so that it could earn them a second opportunity to strike.

However, contrary to his wishes, a crack suddenly appeared on the ceiling of the Demon Suppression hall.

In terms of toughness, the Demon Suppression hall was even stronger than the grand hall of the past, or it would not have been able to keep so many demons imprisoned and the demon cavern suppressed.
However, it was actually just as feeble as a regular structure under the Immortal Relinquished sword.

Li Qingshan shook his head.
This sight was not particularly surprising.
He said to the Fierce King of Chu and the Dragon King of Ink Sea beside him, “Be prepared to suppress the demon cavern again!”

The Fierce King of Chu and the Dragon King of Ink Sea both said nothing in reply.
They had all prepared themselves mentally to a certain degree for this worst-case scenario.
After all, the enemy was so powerful.
Defeating it was already extremely difficult, so stopping it from fleeing or wreaking havoc was virtually impossible.

While it would be horrible if the Demon Suppression hall was destroyed, the three of them could kill Demon Kings effortlessly when they worked together.
All they did now was wait and see who would be emerging first, and then they would use the divine artifact, the Green Province cauldron, to suppress it again.

Rumble! The cracks rapidly spread across the entire Demon Suppression hall, and demon qi surged out from within.
The surrounding vegetation did not wither away, demonifying instead.
The Demon Suppression hall was gradually swallowed by the demon qi too.

With a great rumble, a spout of demon qi rose up into the air, rapidly expanding in size and reaching several dozen kilometers away, dimming the world.

Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow.
He had truly never seen such a large demon cavern before.
He was unable to imagine how the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga would be able to suppress it without the Green Province cauldron.

An extremely obvious black hole appeared on the Green Province cauldron in the Fierce King of Chu’s hand.
He was stern, raising the cauldron high into the air.
“Fellows, please lend me your assistance!”

Before they could answer him, he leapt into the Green Province cauldron, and the cauldron flew towards the demon cavern, expanding in the wind and growing larger and larger.
The images of the mountains and rivers on there became clearer and clearer, as well as more and more consolidated, forcefully intercepting the demon qi and slowly pressing down.

Li Qingshan and the Dragon King of Ink Sea arrived before the demon cavern, ready to kill anyone who tried to stop them, as well as to stop the Immortal Relinquished sword from stirring up any more trouble.
However, they waited for a short moment and did not encounter any sneak attacks from the Immortal Relinquished sword.
Powerful auras flooded out from the demon cavern, every single one belonging to a Demon King’s.

“This is quite a big scene!”

Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow.
The attacking Demon Kings did not amount to three or five, or just under a dozen, but several dozen in total.
It was the maximum capacity of Demon Kings that the demon cavern could hold at the same time.

They must have been prepared a long time ago in the Demon domain, having assembled the Demon Kings to immediately launch an attack the moment the Demon Suppression hall fell.

On top of that, these Demon Kings did not just swarm over chaotically.
Instead, they assembled a simple battle formation.

Anyone who possessed even just a slight understanding of the Demon domain knew it was virtually impossible for two Demon Kings to get along peacefully.
If several dozen Demon Kings were placed together, it would devolve into a chaotic battle very soon.
This was a fact determined by the nature of demonfolk, the laws of the Demon domain.

It was a world without trust and full of malice.
This was only possible through the orders of even stronger demonfolk, through the coercion of absolute force.

Li Qingshan could not help but think of the terrifying sword qi he had encountered in the demon domain in the south that destroyed everything in its path.

This was no longer simply a battle, but a war they had spent much time planning and preparing!
