Legend of the Great Sage

appeared in the sky.

“The Blazes of Heaven, Meteors Befall the Land!”

Zhu Fen wielded the Fire Tablet of Heaven and pointed it at Giant Ship island.
The scarlet stars began to fall down, growing larger and larger with long, fiery tails.
They whistled through the clouds, illuminating the pitch-black, rainy night, as well as everyone’s eyes.

“Meteors of the Blazing Heavens, exterminate the Merfolk! Those unrelated can go and die too!” Zhu Fen laughed madly, actually wanting to destroy the entire cultivation community of the South sea in a single stroke.

“My Cloud Sail sect has no grievances with your Fire Melt mountain.
How dare you attack my sect? Aren’t you afraid of retribution from me?” Ji Changfeng called out in a hurry. 

At the same time, he activated the protective formation of the island.
A faint-green barrier of light enveloped Giant Ship island, blocking the Meteors of Blazing Heavens.

But as soon as he finished talking, he heard three great booms, and the meteors destroyed the formation.

Giant Ship island covered far too large of an area.
The outermost formation could only be used to block the wind and rain from the sea and protect the mortals on the island.
Its defences were very limited.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Endless explosions erupted thunderously.
Various places across the entire island blasted apart, immediately turning into a sea of fire.

A meteor landed in Three Sails city.
The peoples and buildings in the epicentre directly vapourised, without even leaving ashes behind.
The scorching waves of heat whistled out, reducing the city to burning ruins.
There was not a single survivor.

The residences of Li Qingshan and the other important guests were on Main-mast island.
Seeing a meteor hurtling their way, the terrifying presence made the powerful cultivators all close their eyes instinctively, like it was the end of the world.

Li Qingshan frowned firmly and opened his eyes wide, watching as the meteor slammed against the protective formation.
Flames flooded out, filling his field of view, basically swallowing most of the mountain.
They stuck to the mountain and burned away in a lasting manner as if they would never stop until they reduced everything to ashes.

The waves of heat swept through the formations, and the cultivators all retreated.
When they opened their eyes again, they discovered they were actually still alive, but they did not feel the slightest joy at all.
There was only fear.
They, who had always focused on cultivating in peace as recluses, had finally been dragged into war, and it was a war that they could do nothing about.

Li Qingshan was extremely astounded too.
“The fire devourers really are a war-like race known for their destructive power.
This might is just terrifying.
The flames aren’t regular fire either.
Even with my phoenix bloodline, I can’t take it on unscathed!”

Suddenly, a huge ball of ice burst out of the sea of fire, passing through the protective formation and landing on Main-mast mountain.

The cultivators almost erupted with a torrent of abuse.
Li Qingshan frowned as well.
It really was troublesome now!

“Your majesty, why have you come?”

As it turned out, the ice ball was Gong Yuan and her merpeople.
When the meteors struck the outermost formation around the entire island, Gong Yuan immediately took action, condensing the entire Merfolk residence and the entire lake into a huge ball of ice that hurtled towards Main-mast mountain.
They had dodged several meteors before finally reaching there.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the moment the ball of ice struck the ground, three meteors landed on Main-mast mountain one after another.
The protective formation shook violently, which demonstrated the fire devourers’ determination to kill them all.
It made people wonder just how much longer the formation could hold up for.

Gong Yuan glanced at Li Qingshan.
She was in no mood to acknowledge him.
She raised her head and gazed at the horizon.

Three colossal, sorching auras rose up in the clouds.
They were the three kings of the fire devourers, Zhu Fen, Zhu Zai, and Zhu Yan.
What left everyone even more shocked was their flames were interlinked, standing in a simplistic three-man formation.
However, their auras enveloped the entire Giant Ship island as they gazed down like gods.

Further off in the distance, the Silver Dragon King was about to disappear into the horizon.
Gong Yuan ground her teeth.
“The King of Southern Yue!”

Fire devourers were known for their fighting ability, but they were not skilled in hiding their auras, let alone stirring up the heavenly secrets.
Only through the Silver Dragon King that could shield them from all detection could they venture deep into the South sea silently.

Originally, even if they ventured deep into the South sea and launched a surprise attack, Gong Yuan would not have taken them too seriously.
The ocean was her home court.
Even if she were not their opponent, she could slip away with ease.
Just getting through the protective formation of Main-mast mountain would take them quite the effort.
A mad bombardment like this would only push Ji Changfeng to her side for good.
She only needed to hang on for a moment longer and seek reinforcement from the Crystal palace, and they would instead be able to surround or even kill them.

However, the Divine Fire tablets in their hands shattered her last sliver of hope.
They had come for her life!

Giant Ship island burned, dispersing the clouds and rain and illuminating the sea and sky.
Even from fifty kilometers away, it was possible to see the blazing firelight.

Only the three mountains on the island continued to stand in the sea of fire, holding off the attacks of the Meteors of the Blazing Heavens through the formation.

“Ji Changfeng, you’ve been involved with the Merfolk all this time, holding so many sea fairs, and yet now you want to preserve your own life? Just watch as you and your Cloud Sail sect all burn to ashes!”

Only now did Zhu Fen answer Ji Changfeng’s queries and threats.
His voice was filled with contempt.

The Merfolk of the South sea had constantly used the sea fair to exchange and trade with humans, obtaining resources that the sea did not possess, while the nature of fire devourers made them unsuitable for maintaining contact with humans.
As a result, one of them strengthened with time, while the other stagnated.
The Cloud Sail sect had become a great source of trouble for the fire devourers a long time ago.
It was just that they never had the confidence to kill Ji Changfeng, which would just net them another powerful enemy, so they had bided their time all the way until now.

Now, their hatred had erupted completely, blazing away like fire!

The fire devourers had brought the Merfolk sea fair to a complete end.
