Legend of the Great Sage

he get-go?

Was it saving all living creatures? Was it out of benevolence? Was it upholding justice? Was it punishing the wicked?

Or was it selfishly selling out friends! Using deceit to defeat trust! Using ill will to defeat goodwill!

He had not buried himself deep within the magma for the sake of cultivation only.

Lolth could be regarded as vicious in nature, yet he remained hidden in the magma, allowing her to do as she pleased, just in an attempt to find an answer.

But even until now, there was no answer.
He could not satisfy both sides!

But at the very least, he could still bear it.

As a result, when the claw shot towards him, he did not fight back or assume a defensive position.
Instead, he spread his arms and apologised.

“Sorry.
I was… wrong!”

In the next moment, the sharp claw pierced his chest, and golden blood splattered out.
The Soaring Locust King gritted his teeth and said hoarsely, “Golden Cicada, it’s too late!”

The tribulation lightning intensified once again, drowning them in lightning and blurring their figures.

“I know…” The Golden Cicada Spirit King murmured.

“You’re always so hesitant and uncertain! Since you’ve already made your decision to betray me, then you should have downright killed me! You wouldn’t have today if you did that,” the Soaring Locust King said viciously.

“I can’t,” said the Golden Cicada Spirit King.

“But you’ve already killed me!” the Soaring Locust King bellowed.

The tribulation lightning had already reached its end, but due to the Soaring Locust King’s entry, its might had reached an unbelievable level.
The figure of the battle demon on his back rapidly faded away, and soon afterwards, even his body began to disintegrate.

The Skeleton Demons watched closely.
Even if he pulled out of the lightning immediately, he definitely would not be able to escape with his injuries.
He had no intention of escaping either.

The Golden Cicada Spirit King was unable to say anything in response.
He lowered his head.

“I’m at fault too.
I clearly knew you were soft-hearted and a fool, easily deluded and deceived by others.
I shouldn’t have let you go to the monastery of baldies!” The Soaring Locust King suddenly noticed the half-transparent cicada wings on the Golden Cicada Spirit King’s back.
The madness and hatred on his face faded away, seeming rather remorseful.

“Sigh, we’re both going to die, yet you still say something like that.”

The Golden Cicada Spirit King sighed, but his heart lightened up for some reason as if he had returned to a very long time ago.

The spine in his heart vanished.
As an ignorant, foolish insect, a feeble, fleeting insect, perhaps there was nothing he could complain about for having a life like this!

“Die? I still haven’t forgiven you yet! I will make you regret it forever!” The Soaring Locust King extended a claw slowly, throwing a punch at the Golden Cicada Spirit King’s face.

Li Qingshan caught the golden cicada skin that drifted down from above.
It felt weightless, yet it also felt indestructible.
He looked up at the sky again, and even he did not expect a conclusion like this, where the two great Daemon Kings perished together.

Gu Yanying glanced at the Skeleton Demons.
Just like that, they could kill the Soaring Locust King without any risk, without any loss, and no one would be able to find any fault in it.
Even the Golden Cicada Spirit King himself had accepted this conclusion.
Her calculations were truly unpredictable.
As a matter of fact, she was not even sure to describe it as benevolent or cruel.

“Hmm?” Li Qingshan noticed something.
The Soaring Locust King and the Golden Cicada Spirit King’s figures suddenly separated in the resplendent lightning.
Originally, he thought the Soaring Locust King had gotten his revenge and was planning to flee, but all he saw was that he turned into a locust, flying against the lightning and into the sky.
His colossal body almost intercepted the lightning, but it only sped up his disintegration.

The Golden Cicada Spirit King fell down with his eyes wide open.
All he saw was the Soaring Locust King gradually vanish within the lightning.

“No!” He immediately spread his wings and flew towards the sky.

Boom! A great rumble drowned out all of the thunder, and the Soaring Locust King’s body shattered violently.
Blinding light illuminated the surroundings, even more dazzling than the lightning.
A violent wave of air slammed the Golden Cicada Spirit King against the ground heavily.

The heavens seemed to have unleashed their final bit of fury, and the tribulation clouds finally dispersed gradually.
Sunlight peeked through the cracks, scattering on the ground.

This was his final revenge!
