Legend of the Great Sage

>In that instant earlier, he had almost exhausted all of his daemon qi.
All he could do was quickly replenish it from the small world.
He even needed the phoenix’s vitality to sustain him through the backlash due to the Force Field of the Earth being forcefully compressed.
Instead, Rāhu Xiaoming beside him was completely unscathed.

“Yanying, shrink the kunpeng until it fits within the Force Field of the Earth!”

Gu Yanying was concerned about him.
“But can you hold on?”

“We need to conserve the kunpeng’s power,” said Li Qingshan.

Even in the face of almost certain death, he wanted to be a stubborn bone that was extremely difficult to digest.

Rāhu Xiaoming thought of something and suddenly said, “Stop! Turn around!”

“What?”

“We can’t break out of a space-devouring beast that easily.
Even if we escape somehow, it’ll continue to chase after us, so we’ll still struggle to survive.
We need to venture deeper into the space-devouring beast to confront death in an attempt to survive!”

“That’s reasonable! Now that’s something you should be saying instead!” Li Qingshan patted Rāhu Xiaoming on the shoulder with a smile.

Their mental conversation was complete in an instant.
The kunpeng shrank without hesitation, turning around and flying at full speed.

She used everything she had, but their speed still came nowhere close to when they moved through outer space.
She said silently, “Hold on, Qingshan!’

During that time, Li Qingshan faced another two compressions.
His large, tall body shrank slightly as his organs all ruptured.
His brain was a complete mess, and even the almost-indestructible tiger bones became covered in cracks.
He knelt down on one knee with his head lowered on the kunpeng’s back, covered in blood, but he remained still and patient like the earth, silently counting down to the next compression.

Perhaps that would be the last compression too.

However, nothing arrived.
The kunpeng passed through an invisible membrane.
Li Qingshan raised his head.
“We succeeded?”

Many blurry glimmers of light appeared before his eyes.
Had they returned to outer space?

Rāhu Xiaoming replied, “Yeah, we’re half way there.
We’ve already left the space-devouring beast’s stomach.
This should be its womb.
These are all small space-devouring beasts that are still taking shape.”

Li Qingshan’s shattered eyes congealed and recovered, and his vision gradually cleared up too, only to see thousands of small space-devouring beasts gathered together.
What shone were their eyes, if those could be called eyes.

“How the hell are these ‘small’ space-devouring beasts?”

These damned bastards came in all shapes and sizes.
None of them bore any resemblance to their mother, and none of them could be considered “small”.

Gu Yanying smiled wryly.
“With how ‘small’ they are, they shouldn’t be aggressive, right?”

As she said that, all the small space-devouring beasts began to move, pressing closer towards them.

“I’m guessing these ‘small’ guys aren’t coming to greet us.”

Li Qingshan grinned.
The sight before him was basically like shoving countless monsters all into a single nightmare.
Instead, it seemed rather absurd.

The space-devouring beasts rapidly pressed closer.
If they retreated, they would be digested.
If they moved forward, they would be split among them and eaten.

Gu Yanying, “Hey, think of something, you two big men.”

Rāhu Xiaoming said, “I’m just a child, thank you.”

Li Qingshan gazed at the incoming herd of space-devouring beasts, “Xiaoming, you mentioned that space-devouring beasts turn into worlds.”

“I did.”

“I just happen to have a world, or in other words, I have a space-devouring beast.”

Rāhu Xiaoming’s eyes lit up, “That’s correct!”

“Both of you, shut your eyes.”

Gu Yanying and Rāhu Xiaoming both closed their eyes.
The kunpeng shut its eyes as well.

Li Qingshan brought his palms together and unleashed the ability of the spirit turtle at full force, the Watermirror’s Image.

Xiao An’s figure appeared in his mind.
She seemed to be in both pain and sorrow.
Afterwards, he shut his eyes as well.

“May the heavens be watching over us.”

The space-devouring beasts engulfed them.
