Legend of the Great Sage

he position of first senior brother.

Li Qingshan silently prayed, Let me kill a few extra Demon Sovereigns and steal the position of first senior brother from that fire dude.
That’ll basically be getting revenge for you, and your deceased soul will be able to rest easy.
Though… Being killed by tribulation lightning was being reduced to dust.
That was as dead as a person could be, so he shook his head. You don’t have a deceased soul remaining.

He was rather sentimental about this, but his strength was limited.
He was not being heartless.
They were not particularly familiar with one another in the first place.
They even had a hostile relationship.
The only reason they ended up in a situation like that was due to her stubborn decisions.
In the end, he even sacrificed his Yin Soul to assist her, so he had basically done everything that he could.

If she can survive, that’s for the best.
If she can’t, then blame me?

Beyond the Nine Heavens, Chao Tianjiao felt an impulse, and her expression changed.

Wang Wenqing asked, “What’s wrong, junior sister?”

“Someone seems to be talking ill of me.” Chao Tianjiao clenched her fist and said furiously, “It must be those damned demonfolk!”

Wang Wenqing smiled.
“After becoming a Human Immortal, you already have a foot planted in the path of immortality.
Your senses have become much sharper.
However, unless it’s someone or something that matters to you, you shouldn’t sense anything.
If you can sense whenever someone talks ill of you, wouldn’t you be bothered to death?”

“That’s reasonable.” Chao Tianjiao murmured, “Someone or something that matters to me…”

Wang Wenqing suddenly became serious.
“Please don’t be distracted by anything else, junior sister.
Up ahead is the Desireless Heavenly Palace.
That is the most important matter at hand.”

“Understood.”

With an earth-shaking moo, Li Qingshan turned into the ox demon, standing indomitably and punching the mountain in front of him.

Boom!

The mountain rumbled and cracks ran through the entire rock, like a giant that trembled before his divine might.

He did not use the Swelling Earth of the Nine Heavens.
He had completely achieved it through his great strength of the ox demon.
Even though he had yet to reach the same level as he did in the nine provinces where he could shatter a mountain with a punch, it was still quite impressive.

“The Ox Demon Butts its Horns!”

Then he lowered his head and charged ahead with his horns before abruptly kicking off his hooves.

Boom!

Under the moonlight, Xiao An stood gently, gazing at the ox with a smile as it threw itself at the mountain like it had gone mad.
Suddenly, half of the mountain collapsed, crushing him underneath.

“Hehe, how stupid.”

Li Qingshan was crushed under thousands of tonnes of rock.
If his physique were a little weaker, he would have been crushed to death, but he felt like he felt as safe and comfortable as returning to his mother’s embrace

The Ox Demon Transformation was the first transformation he had practised, as well as his foundations for the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine.
Whether it was its defences, endurance, or destructive power, it was completely flawless.
Combined with something like the Swelling Earth of the Nine Heavens, it was basically exceptionally powerful.

The Ox Demon Transformation stressed accumulation.
He had already reached the fifth layer many years ago, so he had already accumulated as much as he possibly could.

As for comprehension?

Along the way, he had encountered countless powerful foes and endless setbacks.
If it were not for his stubbornness, how could he have forged his way to today?

If the Ape Demon Transformation was extremely compatible with his nature, without any proper bottlenecks, then the Ox Demon Transformation did not need any compatibility at all.
He was a raging ox in the first place.
He did not care about what difficulties stood before him.
If they could not be resolved by a punch, then he would throw his head at it and smash a way out.

He did not believe in the heavens, only treading on the thick earth, leaving behind a footprint with each step.

“Let’s take another step forward!”

The sixth layer of the Ox Demon Transformation broken through!

Endless power surged up from the earth, filling his body.

However, he felt very calm.
He had merely taken another step forward in a lengthy journey.

In the small world, the earth became even vaster and sturdier, embracing everything, both glory and pain.

The path ahead of him was long, but the Nine Heavens were not far.
He rose up slowly, shaking off the rock and soil before he gazed at the starry sky.

“Brother ox, are you well beyond the Nine Heavens?”
