Legend of the Great Sage

lesome part of earth fiend beasts was their lack of so-called vital points.
Sometimes, they could even continue fighting after most of their bodies had been destroyed.
That was fine when there was only one opponent, but once they became surrounded by them, then that was like being tossed into a stone mill.
They would be crushed and ground to pieces very soon.

However, Li Qingshan relied on this one attack that could not be more commonplace to deal an effective blow whenever he struck, forcefully paving a path for himself.

The only explanation was he could instantly determine the location of the magnetic ferrum in the bodies of the earth fiend beasts.
However, even the Human Sovereigns present were not capable of that.

Le Tian shook his head slowly.
“I don’t know.
This dark horse is already so dark that even I don’t know how to explain it anymore.” He suddenly became excited, dancing around.
“But nicely done.
Qingshan, kill them all! Make them taste your power!”

Ruan Yaozhu let out a sigh of relief while the nine-coloured deer wondered inside, Does this guy really have the bloodline of the qilin? It doesn’t seem like it with how he fights.
It’s as if he’s turned into someone different altogether! He’s quite fearful, actually! But whatever.
As long as he can help me win this round, none of that matters!

Ren Aoyou said, “Hmph, don’t celebrate too soon.
We still don’t know whether this kid can survive or not!”

The cavern extended off in all directions like a huge echo chamber.
The resonant singing, the noise from the battle, and the disorderly magnetic field awakened all of the earth fiend beasts in the mountain, luring them over.

With each passing moment, earth fiend beasts surged in from every entrance, like the furious current, turning the cavern into a colossal arena.
Even a moment of carelessness would cost him his life.

On top of that, the strongest and most terrifying “beast king” in the lair had not been destroyed yet.

Boom!

Boulders shot through the air, even crushing a few small earth fiend beasts.

Li Qingshan gazed out, only to see the earth fiend beast that the strange rock had transformed into emerge from the rubble, virtually unscathed.
It completely extended its limbs and became even larger, trudging towards him with heavy steps.
Each step made the cavern shake.

It suddenly stopped and shook its head.
With a hiss, electricity surged in its mouth, charging up for an attack!

Even without the spirit turtle’s senses, it made Li Qingshan shiver.
With a body slam, he smashed apart the earth fiend beast in front of him.
He did not even bother with collecting the magnetic ferrum, running along the walls furiously as he tried to make his way over to the beast king’s back.

The beast king swivelled its head slowly.
The electricity became even brighter in its mouth before it abruptly launched the attack.

A flash of white light filled his eyes, leaving the cavern bright like daytime.

Li Qingshan leapt up and was immediately slammed against the wall by a great force.

Boom! The wall cracked and collapsed, forming a great hole.
All the magnetic ferrum he had gathered after so much difficulty scattered on the ground.

He lay in the hole with his organs in pain.
His entire body was numb and immobilised.
He could even smell the scent of roasted meat.

Only after a seemingly very long time did he hear the deafening boom.
With his blurry eyes, he could still make out the twisted trajectory of the electricity in the air.

He should have been able to dodge the attack with that leap of his, but the electricity had suddenly twisted as if it had locked onto him, slamming into him viciously.

“Qingshan!’

Le Tian cried out painfully as if he was the one who had suffered that blow.
Only extremely powerful earth fiend beasts were capable of that.
Even if he endured a strike like that, it would be quite painful.

Ruan Yaozhu completely paled in horror, subconsciously biting down on her lip.

Pi Yangqiu said, “The earth fiend beasts’ sense of hearing is not actually a sense of hearing.
It’s closer to the very nature of hearing.
They’re extremely sensitive to vibrations, and what they truly use to lock onto prey are magnetic fields! In such a narrow space, it’s almost impossible to dodge the electricity attack from the great earth fiend beast.
It’s useless no matter how fast his reflexes are.
He’s dead for sure!”

The beasts surged over like the tide, lunging towards the immobilised Li Qingshan.
The beast king began to amass electricity in its mouth again.

“Make the sky and sea gather strength for me…”

Li Qingshan stood up slowly.
He lost some control over his tongue, so his singing became rather strange.

The boundless earth was with him.
The endless power surged in through every pore of his body.
It was the only remaining innate ability of his, the Strength of the Earth!

In such a deep place in the mountain, not only was it unaffected by the magnetic fields, but it even became stronger and more sensitive.
This was the exact ability he had used to sense the location of the magnetic ferrum in the bodies of each earth fiend beast, which was why he could kill them with a single strike.

The deep tranquillity surrounded him like he was in his mother’s embrace.
There was no fear at all.
He was the child of the earth.

Once again, he leapt up energetically and smashed through the tide of beasts!

“To achieve greatness, to advance for the sake of my dreams!”

He stepped over the earth fiend beasts and lunged towards the beast king’s hideous mouth, throwing himself into the surging electricity.

Boom!

Electricity exploded, even leaving the Map of All-seeing and All-hearing white.

The direct disciples all widened their eyes.
By the time the white light had slowly faded away, all they saw was the terrifying beast king standing in the same position as before, launching the attack.
It did not budge at all, but Li Qingshan was nowhere to be seen.

Ruan Yaozhu asked with a trembling voice, “I- is he still alive?”

Le Tian said, “Look!”

A charred figure emerged from the colossal mouth of the beast king, holding a huge piece of magnetic ferrum that shone in the darkness.

Li Qingshan grinned, revealing his snowy-white teeth.
He overlooked the beasts.

“Since I am a man, I should strive to better myself!”
