Legend of the Great Sage

he was trying to fly.

At the same time, the small world reached its limit in circulation, such that it approached collapse.
However, it continued to accelerate, preferring to be destroyed than become restrained.

The demon nascence’s voice became even sharper and faster, “Die, die, die…”

Li Qingshan raised his head and smiled brightly.
The small world exploded violently; the demon nascence’s voice came to a halt, having broken free from the final shackle.
Blinding light erupted from his body, contending against the sword and blade of lightning in the sky.

He leapt up as hard as he could and flapped his wings, taking to the skies!

The sword and blade of lightning spun rapidly, falling down like a blazing meteor with a long arc as a tail!

“The Ape Demon Scoops the Moon, All to Null and Void!”

The figure of the ape demon appeared.
Li Qingshan’s arms abruptly extended, shooting straight towards the sword and blade like he was trying to grasp fate.

Gorgeous light erupted the moment he collided with fate, reflecting on the tranquil ocean.
The splendid colours left even Ruan Yaozhu dazzled as a rumble that had surpassed her senses of hearing shook up her Yang Soul.
In a daze, she felt like she was no longer in a mortal world anymore.

After just a split second of stalemate, Li Qingshan was crushed viciously, falling towards the endless ocean.
The light he gave off had dimmed, and his eyes had been melted away by the lightning, only leaving behind a pair of holes.
The phoenix wings disintegrated, filling the air with feathers.
His organs, flesh, and bones had already begun to melt in the light he gave off when he ignited himself.

However, he felt no pain or fear, only the joy of living, which turned into a furious, hysterical howl, firmly contending against fate.
Even when his tongue had melted away in the light, the howl continued, remaining unfazed.

At this moment, the soul nascence returned to his body again, casting itself into the chaotic world that resembled an exploded furnace.

He laughed madly, pressing against the blade and sword, lifting up fate and rushing up into the air.

The sharp edges of the weapons met the palm of his hands, piercing his arms instantly and making them disintegrate inch by inch!

He could clearly feel that as long as the two weapons met within his body, then that would be complete destruction.
Even the phoenix’s nirvāṇa could not save him.

Under the threat of fear and death, his will to live had instead become even clearer and firmer than ever before.

“The Qilin, with its Hovering Steps, Sympathises with the Living!”

Green light spread through his arms, wrapping around the violet sword and blade of lightning.
It only lasted for a moment, but he slammed his arms together, and the weapons inside them collided violently.
At the same time, he erupted with all the power his body contained.

Boom!

The sky and sea was completely illuminated, scattering the sky full of tribulation clouds and peeling away the sea water layer by layer, exposing the dry, cracked seabed.
The footsteps he left behind were clearly visible, but his figure had already melded into the boundless light.

Ruan Yaozhu appeared and subconsciously brought her hand over her eyes, basically forgetting that she was currently a Yang Soul.
Under the glow of the light, she was forced to retreat.
That power was enough to destroy her Yang Soul.

After who knew how long, she returned to her senses and lowered her hand.
The light had already vanished and the dark night flooded over.
There was not a single cloud in sight, exposing a sky full of stars.
The wind and waves were calm as if nothing had happened at all.

Don’t tell me he’s already…

Her Yang Soul immediately flew over to where Li Qingshan faced the tribulation.
It was empty there, with the figure who had just contended against fate nowhere to be seen.
She could not help but call out gently, “Qingshan.” as if she was afraid of disturbing someone.

There was no reply.
She felt a strange sense of distress, so saddened that she was almost about to shed tears.

“Who’s calling for me?”

“Fantastic, you’re still alive!” Ruan Yaozhu was very surprised and overjoyed.
She saw Li Qingshan floating up to the surface of the ocean.

“Senior sister Ruan! Why are you here?”

Li Qingshan lay on the surface of the ocean with his limbs splayed out.
He could not even move a finger now.
Ruan Yaozhu appeared in his view right above him, and she seemed quite disgruntled.
“You owe me an explanation!”

Li Qingshan laughed dryly.
“Erm… would you like a new mount?”
