Legend of the Great Sage

ng beasts was far too great.
However, he also felt slightly puzzled.
These space-devouring beasts moved alarmingly fast, but it should not have been that fast!

At this moment, the space-devouring beast that constantly changed shape and resembled a liquid suddenly opened numerous eyes of different sizes.
They were all blank and without any emotion, all fixed on the Swelling Earth of the Nine Heavens in Li Qingshan’s hand.

“It spotted us!”

Li Qingshan gripped the Swelling Earth of the Nine Heavens firmly and swung it violently.
A great mountain moved over, blocking the space-devouring beast’s path, but it was devoured immediately.
Then even more eyes appeared as if it was confirming its target.

A piece of Swelling Earth of the Nine Heavens surpassed all of the mountains, and it even treated the kunpeng as food.
It did not have the thought processes of a living creature, but under the control of its powerful instincts, it rapidly swam towards the kunpeng.

Li Qingshan’s heart sank.
The sense of danger he experienced peaked.
The space-devouring beast was several times larger than the kunpeng.
If they were swallowed, they would probably be done for.

“Yanying, don’t worry about the obstacles ahead.
Just accelerate and shake it off!”

Without any more regard, Gu Yanying flapped the wings and took off.

Li Qingshan cleared the obstacles in their path as he used the Force Field of the Earth to throw all the rocks behind him, creating obstacles for the space-devouring beast.

The space-devouring beast tailed them closely, devouring everything in its way.
It did not slow down at all, instead gradually closing the distance between them.

Rāhu Xiaoming opened the cosmic pouch, and atmospheric winds rushed out.
The kunpeng rode on the winds and moved a little faster, traversing the many mountains instantly.
They saw the endless darkness of outer space again.

Two colossal objects raced through outer space in the most primitive pursuit possible at an unbelievable speed.
They were only tens of thousand kilometres from each other.
That was a tremendous distance in any world, but upon considering their size and speed, it was almost like a single step away.

Gu Yanying said, “Qingshan, if we keep flying for a little longer, we’re going to deviate from the path you calculated.
Think of something!”

Li Qingshan turned around, gripping the Swelling Earth of the Nine Heavens firmly and throwing out a punch.

Using the strength of the earth from the Swelling Earth of the Nine Heavens, the Tremors of the Ox Demon had been pushed to an unparalleled level of might.
Even the dark space shook.

The kunpeng used that to accelerate again, but the space-devouring beast dove head-first into the trembling space.
Its figure twisted and changed.
It was unscathed, but it had slowed down drastically all of a sudden.

Li Qingshan beamed with joy inside, Sure enough, it works!

He threw punch after punch, decelerating the space-devouring beast again and again and widening their distance.
It gradually seemed smaller as it grew further and further away.

Suddenly, the space-devouring beast vanished as if it had never existed.

Gu Yanying asked, “Did we shake it off?”

Li Qingshan frowned heavily.
The sense of danger in him had not vanished.
Instead, the shade of death grew heavier and heavier.

Rāhu Xiaoming called out, “No, up ahead!”

Li Qingshan abruptly looked back.
The vanished space-devouring beast had appeared in front of them, its colossal body filling their eyes.
Its half-transparent skin shone with bright, green light, and a crevasse of several thousand kilometres suddenly split open in it, stretching across outer space and waiting for the kunpeng to fly in by itself.

Finally, he understood why these space-devouring beasts could move with extraordinary speed.
They could actually perform long-distance teleportations in outer space.

The kunpeng was moving as fast as it could, so even changing directions was too late.
It dove head-first into the crevasse, which closed up again subsequently.
Its bright-green surface surged around like a great big mouth that had swallowed the kunpeng in a single bite and was currently chewing away, savouring the taste.
