Legend of the Great Sage

ike this when Qiongqi descended.

With a swish, Xiao An used the Blood Sea Banner to sweep them into the sea of blood.
The endless sea began to surge, piling up into a hemisphere and enveloping them.
Countless skeletons surged over, but they were shredded by the pulsing light before they could even get close.

Xiao An was not relying on the Blood Sea Banner to deal with Battle Demon Hun either.
She just hoped it could temporarily delay his refinement of the sword.

“How is it?” Li Qingshan asked.

“It won’t work.
The Blood Sea Banner can’t keep him trapped.
We can’t stop him from refining the sword either.
Before long…”

Before Xiao An could even finish what she was saying, streaks of light erupted from the Blood Sea Banner, and the sea exploded loudly.
A streak of light rushed out, completely unstoppable!

Once Battle Demon Hun broke free, slashing through the illusion of the Green province that was on the verge of collapse would be a piece of cake.
Even the Golden Cicada Spirit King would not be able to stop him.
Once the illusions shattered, then the demon cavern would no longer be suppressed, and the surroundings would be corrupted into a land of demons very soon.
By then, even fleeing would be an impressive feat, let alone defeating Battle Demon Hun.

The Dragon King of Ink Sea, Li Qingshan, Xiao An, and the Golden Cicada Spirit King would be fine.
They each possessed their own abilities.
However, the Fierce King of Chu, the Dauntless monk, the Unraging monk, and the others would probably have to die here, together with all the monks from the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga that had not managed to flee too far away, as well as all the life within several hundred kilometers.
All of them would fall into the claws of the demons.

After such a bitter battle, even when the powerful cultivators of the Human and Daemon race of the Green province worked together, were they still unable to stop the Demon domain’s invasion?

“If you want to leave, then do it now.
It’ll be too late if you continue to hesitate,” said Xiao An.

“Please all back down, fellows.
Leave this to me!” the Golden Cicada Spirit King said.

“You might not be this demon’s opponent, fellow Golden Cicada.”

Li Qingshan was basically being polite by saying that.
The Golden Cicada Spirit King had just failed his tribulation.
He had been pierced through the chest by the Soaring Locust King.
After that, he faced another great battle, even assisting the Fierce King of Chu in suppressing the demon qi at the same time.
He had already reached his limit.
It was impossible for him to be Battle Demon Hun and the Immortal Relinquished sword’s opponent.

“There’ll always be a way.” The Golden Cicada Spirit King’s spirited, handsome face was indifferent.
“However, I might have to destroy that arcane treasure of fellow Xiao An!”

“Don’t tell me you’re thinking of…”

Li Qingshan realised something.
The Golden Cicada Spirit King was clearly ready to die, to perish together with Battle Demon Hun.
Perhaps he had already made that decision before he came here, wanting to die as a martyr to save the living beings of the world, or to give the Soaring Locust King an explanation, or perhaps a combination of both!

He checked their situation, which was not optimistic at all.
Even if he ignored the Fierce King of Chu and everyone else’s situation, the Dragon King of Ink Sea’s strength had declined completely despite being unkillable.
Xiao An had preserved a large portion of her strength though, even stronger than when she first arrived, but she would struggle against an opponent that surpassed her drastically in strength.

In particular, after refining the Immortal Relinquished sword, Battle Demon Hun’s swordsmanship would be so great that it would be impossible for him to be cut by the Buddha Slaying sword.
Perhaps only he who wielded the Frenzy Flower Blade of Path’s End stood a chance.

He saw the light spilling from the Blood Sea Banner grow brighter and brighter.
Perhaps this was the only way.

The Golden Cicada Spirit King made his way towards the sea of blood.
There was no fear of death on his face, or even any of the passion or sorrow of sacrifice.
There was only relief.

“Hold on!” A large figure stopped the Golden Cicada Spirit King.
Li Qingshan said, “How can you just give up on the cultivation you’ve developed arduously so easily? Please find a way to suppress the demon cavern.
I’ll be right back.”

With that, he stepped into the sea of blood, facing Battle Demon Hun and the Immortal Relinquished sword.

This was the final, decisive battle!
