Legend of the Great Sage

lunged down.
In the blink of an eye, the sharp teeth arrived just inches away.

As Li Qingshan drew his hand back from the ball of light, the ball of light began to spread as well.
The entire process unfolded so quickly that time seemed to have frozen.
The criss-crossing light and inscriptions vanished with the nine layers of the formation once more, except there was the imprint of an ox’s head that belonged to him in the depths of the core.

The Xuanming formation activated again.
The flow of time returned to normal.

However, Ao Xuan was stuck in the middle of the air.
He was no longer the owner of this place.
Instead, he was a thief who had forced his way in and had been caught in the act by the owner.

As the Xuanming formation scroll had described it, “The Xuanming formation is extremely powerful.
Even against Human Immortals, it can stop them momentarily.” And he was only facing a fifth heavenly tribulation Daemon Sovereign right now.

Suddenly, a foul gust of air filled his face.
Ao Xuan abruptly broke free from his restraints and bit at Li Qingshan.

“Die!”

Since he was still bold enough to force his way in, he had already anticipated the worst possible situation, or he would not have hurled himself into trouble willingly.
He managed to tell with a single glance that Li Qingshan was only a Yin Soul cultivator.
He had just gained control over the Xuanming formation, so he definitely could not control it as he pleased.

With his power and his understanding of the Xuanming formation, it was completely possible for him to break free by force and kill Li Qingshan on the spot.
The Xuanming formation would obviously return to him by then.
Even though he was a disciple of the Myriad sect, Ao Xuan could not care so much anymore.

Li Qingshan sneered, which exposed his teeth.
He threw a punch at Ao Xuan’s face.

The dragon’s head turned sharply, and a large part of his cheek sank in.
A force of tremors spread from head to tail, basically making him tremble uncontrollably.

Ao Xuan’s remaining eye was filled with disbelief.
“How is this possible!?” He was clearly just a Yin Soul cultivator.
Even a Demon Sovereign could not injure him so heavily from a single strike.

When he looked at Li Qingshan again, he was no longer in human form.
Ox horns grew from his head and his feet turned into hooves, transforming into the half-man, half-ox ox demon.
Beneath his black skin, his muscles rose and fell like mountains and rivers, filled with endless strength.

The Ox Demon Transformation!

Li Qingshan clenched his fist firmly.
The space seemed to twist and collapse inwards, such that the fist seemed enormous, filling Ao Xuan’s vision like a huge mountain.

Yes, that was a mountain.
Li Qingshan clenched the Swelling Earth of the Nine Heavens firmly and pushed the Ox Demon Transformation to the limit.

Another uppercut!

The Ox Demon Transformation had never been renowned for its speed.
The punch was extremely slow in Ao Xuan’s eyes, and he normally would have been able to dodge it.
However, he was currently suppressed by the Xuanming formation, and the punch possessed a powerful suction, so he could not evade it.

Bang!

The punch landed on Ao Xuan’s chin and several dozen teeth flew out.
His head was lifted high up, pulling the rest of his body along with him.
He almost flew out of the cavern.

“That’s called the Rising Dragon uppercut!”

When the dragon’s belly was exposed before him, Li Qingshan sank down and threw another straight punch!

There was nothing special about the punch at all.
It was absolutely ordinary, without any fancy tricks.
Even mortals who knew a little bit of martial arts could throw a punch like that with ease.

However, Ao Xuan was thrown heavily against the wall by it.
His scales shattered; his organs surged.
The mountain shook and rubble fell down like rain.

There was now a hint of fear within Ao Xuan’s furious roars.
He wanted to launch a desperate counterattack, but the powerful force of tremors had filled his entire body, such that he could not muster any strength.
On top of that, the weaker he became, the stronger the suppression from the Xuanming dwelling became.
All he could do was watch helplessly as Li Qingshan threw punch after punch.

Crack! His bones shattered, and his scales fell.

Heavens, how can there be a monster like this in the world? Hold on, an ox? Kunpeng, the Heaven-stirring Great Sage, Ox! Don’t tell me?

Li Qingshan raised his ox hoof high up and stepped down on the dragon’s head.

He crossed his arms and raised them into the air.
Tiny cracks actually appeared in space.

The punch seemed like the upheaval of earth, the falling of mountains.
It possessed the power to crush everything.

“Go to hell!”

Ao Xuan suddenly called out, “I yield! Spare me!”

Li Qingshan hesitated for a moment before slamming down with the punch.

Boom! Ao Xuan’s eyes bulged while blood sprayed from his mouth.
The sounds of his skull cracking rang out as he plunged into the abyss.

Li Qingshan raised his right hand and used the Force Field of the Earth, pulling Ao Xuan back again.
“What did you say?”

Ao Xuan said feebly, “I- I yield…”

He was heavily injured and firmly suppressed by the Xuanming dwelling, so he no longer possessed any power to resist.
If it were not for the fact that Li Qingshan had held back some strength in the final moments of that punch, perhaps he would have been crushed to death in his own den already.

Li Qingshan remarked in wonder, “Are the dragons of the Human realm really so spineless? Even the Dragon King of Ink Sea, a dragon king from a painting, has much more backbone than this bastard.”

“That’s probably due to the Five Absolutes Immortal!” Xiao An was gathering the scattered scales, teeth, and blood and setting them alight to heal her damaged bones.

Li Qingshan nodded.
“That’s reasonable.”

“You can kill me, but you can’t insult me.
If you don’t accept my surrender, then kill me!” Ao Xuan shut his eye resolutely, except he kept a crack open so that he could still see.

Rāhu Xiaoming crossed his arms and said, “Little dragon, looks like you’ve already realised something, but are you aware that there will be no turning back if you surrender to him, where the world will be your enemy? It will lead to even more trouble for you in the future, and you’ll probably still be doomed.”
