Legend of the Great Sage

e bronze bells under the eaves of the Pavilion of Heavenly Clouds were disturbed by the great winds, so they chimed away jarringly.

By now, the thick mist had dispersed, and the sun emerged in the east.
An old man in black stood on the balcony connected to the highest floor of the Pavilion of Heavenly Tomes, gazing down at Li Qingshan below with his tranquil and deep eyes.
He met the scarlet eyes, but he remained unfazed as always.

No matter what kind of destruction Myriad city faced or if their disciples were butchered, none of it could perturb him.
Perhaps it was better to say that everything was within his expectations.

He spread his arms and his wide sleeves buffeted in the wind.
He spread his fingers and cupped both hands.
A crystal ball hovered between his curved fingers, which was the formation core of the Myriad formation.

The colour of the crystal ball was as dark as the depths of the ocean.
Only Li Qingshan was vaguely present inside, no matter what shape or form he had taken.

The Spirit Turtle Suppresses the Seas!

Li Qingshan definitely was not unfamiliar with this move, but only when he was the target did he truly experience its might.
It was as if he was thousands of metres under the ocean, where every inch of his skin endured several thousand tonnes of pressure.

When regular cultivators pushed formations to their limit, they were only unleashing the power behind the formation itself.
Meanwhile, the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance had merged with the Myriad formation, combining all of his cultivation with it.

The original functions of the Myriad formation completely exceeded the Seventy-two Pentads formation of the Hundred Herbs garden as well, but the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance was extremely aware that these functions were all useless before the clone of a true god.
It would only increase his openings.
As a result, there were no flashy tricks, no elemental attacks, only suppression from absolute power.

Li Qingshan required all of his strength to contend against it.
Shen Yushu’s body had not been tempered or forged in any way, so it did not even last for a split second under the contest of strength between these two terrifying powers, immediately exploding as a bloody mist.

Li Qingshan had used the opportunity to kill Wang Junxing and a direct disciple, avenging Dong Dagong and the others somewhat, but he obviously could not contend against the suppression of the Myriad formation when he unleashed his innate ability at full force.
Whatever power he put into his attacks was the same amount he would be receiving.

And if he ignored these direct disciples and focused on destroying the formation, he would definitely face obstruction, which would become the final straw.
A clash between absolute power had never permitted any distractions at all.
However, given the situation, killing these direct disciples would be quite tedious too.

The Myriad formation had cut him off from the outside world, so his depleted spiritual qi could not be replenished.
Meanwhile, the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance had an endless supply of spiritual qi given the blessed land that the Myriad sect was founded on.
He was basically untouchable.

As a result, the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance’s intentions in gathering these direct disciples became very clear.
They were for him to kill.

Succeeding with her attack, Dai Mengfan beamed with joy inside and demonstrated her dignity and might as the first senior sister again.
She called out, “Don’t stop! Keep attacking! If anyone flees, that’ll be betrayal!”

The direct disciples had begun considering retreating, but right now, they were all reinvigorated too.
They felt like Li Qingshan was not exactly undefeatable anymore! For the first time, they felt some admiration towards this “first senior sister”.

Leng Yuan immediately struck out.
The ring of ice revolved around his body, functioning as both defence and offence, producing thousands of streaks of cold light.
The giant frost wolf under him also opened its mouth and spat out ice flames that filled Li Qingshan’s face, basically as a reply to his tiger’s roar from earlier.

At this moment, a person sneered among the direct disciples.
“If you want to die, go ahead.
I’ll be taking my leave first!” He immediately turned into a streak of light and made his way out of the city.

“Pi Yangqiu!!”

Dai Mengfan was both surprised and furious.
She rarely ever participated in the military affairs of Black Cloud city, so she was not particularly skilled at giving orders on the battlefield, but she understood the will of the people.
In a life-threatening battle like this, if they could not keep deserters in check in time, it would definitely lead to defeat.

Sure enough, apart from Leng Yuan, the other direct disciples were swayed.
They hesitated and did not attack.
The morale they had just gathered all bled away.
