Legend of the Great Sage

enish-black image condensed behind him with blurred facial features, terrifying yet also sacred.

The Sovereign’s Limit Record of World Destruction showed signs of breaking through.
Compared to the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine, this cultivation method was like an illegitimate child.

He had never cared too much about it, nor did he devote any time or energy to practising it.
Ever since he no longer needed to keep his daemon identity a secret anymore, he had treated all of his human cultivation methods like this.
However, because it could increase his overall strength, he persisted with it.

Actually, he always found it strange.
Cultivation methods usually all possessed a sense of exclusiveness.
People did not grow stronger when they practised more cultivation methods.
Instead, the cultivation methods would conflict and influence one another.

Every single transformation in the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine was a cultivation method.
Even with that, the various transformations would conflict with one another, but they never conflicted with his various human cultivation methods, from the Innate Method of Practising Qi in the beginning to the Sovereign’s Limit Record of World Destruction now.

It was like a natural notice left behind for him, and he felt like it possessed great significance.
He thought, The Ape Demon’s Method of Moon Scooping has now reached the fourth layer.
It won’t be breaking through again in a short amount of time, so it’s perfect for me to practise the Sovereign’s Limit Record of World Destruction.

The Sovereign’s Limit Record of World Destruction had been created in an age when a world ended.
It possessed the will of great destruction and great annihilation.
Originally, only gods possessed the right to come into contact with a will like this.
Just like how Gong Yuan under the influence from Ruin’s End, if cultivators used this power, they would definitely suffer from cultivation deviation and go insane in the very end.

Not everyone had the opportunity to express this will either.
Li Qingshan had only gained some comprehension after witnessing the remains after a world’s destruction.
If he had to be honest, his comprehension was still very shallow.
Seeing a corpse and witnessing a murder was completely different.

Yet now, he gained a much deeper and higher level of comprehension, and that was to destroy a world with his own hands, surpassing the creator of the Sovereign’s Limit Record of World Destruction.

He began to make significant breakthroughs with the Sovereign’s Limit Record of World Destruction.
He had a feeling that if he could push this cultivation method to the limit, its power would be no weaker than any of the transformations right now.

If it were not for that opportunity in outer space, he never could have comprehended this.
If he did not have the space-devouring beast, even ten Li Qingshans combined would not be enough to destroy the world.

Legend had it that Maheśvara controlled creation and destruction simultaneously.
Unintentionally, Li Qingshan began to play that role too, sculpting the small world as he destroyed the nine provinces.

“Sovereign’s Limit of World Destruction, Sovereign’s Limit of World Prosperity.
Perhaps they’ve always been two sides of the same coin,” Li Qingsham murmured; the image behind him became a little clearer.

The Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga.

A crack suddenly ran across the plump, amiable face of a great buddha carved into a mountain.

Crack!

The praying monks were stunned.
Only then did they notice that the mountains were shaking away.
The bells shook loudly.

“Why are there earthquakes in the Green province?”

The Dauntless monk walked out of the grand hall.
The buddhist light condensed on his eyes as he unleashed the Heavenly Eye knowledge of the six types of knowledge, finding the source of the earthquake.
He immediately saw the colossal space-devouring beast devouring everything, as well as Li Qingshan standing on the space-devouring beast.

The Dauntless monk shuddered and cried out, “Maheśvara!”

Others might not have been able to recognise the blurry image behind Li Qingshan, but how was it possible for him to not recognise it as an eminent monk of buddhism? That was a god of great prowess in buddhism, dwelling at the peak of the trichiliocosm, yet he also obstinately opposed the buddha, obstructed the buddhist dharma, and deluded monks.

As a result, he was also known as the lord of the māra, Maheśvara.
He was the prime buddha nemesis who openly supported buddhism but secretly defied it.

“Amitābha, just what kind of sins has our Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga committed!?”
