Legend of the Great Sage

the unbelievable might of the world.

The storm was already a one-in-a-century event, but spurred on by Ji Changfeng and Li Qingshan, it became even more powerful, sweeping straight towards the nine provinces.

On the shore of the South sea, the towering trees suddenly began to shiver.
The fierce wind whistled over, growing more and more intense.
The proud sun in the sky was gradually swallowed by the dark clouds.
The entire world became dim, filled with the roaring of gales.
Even the thunder seemed to lose their sound, only able to prove their existence through the constant flashes.

In the moment the storm arrived on the shore, thousands of colossal trees snapped, collapsed and were uprooted!

Li Qingshan used the Profound Light Illuminates All to gaze at Fire Melt mountain several thousand kilometers away.
“Are you ready?”

On Fire Melt mountain, the three Fire Devouring Kings overlooked all the fire devourers.
A fiery-red ribbon was tied to the head of every single fire devourer.
This was the fire devourers’ mourning ceremony for their loved ones.
The plague had killed over sixty percent of the fire devourers there.
The more frail they were, the harder it was for them to avoid it.

Flames of anger burned in the eyes of every single fire devourer.
Their red hair rose and rippled like torches.
The ribbons made from stone cloth turned bright-red in the flames, just like fire!

“The Merfolk are coming.”

Zhu Yan sat on a fiery-red rock and said only that with his head lowered.
What answered him were thousands of furious bellows, like the eruptions of thousands of volcanoes.

They did not need any further encouragement or motivation.
Fury and hatred was the best fuel there was, making the hearts of every single fire devourer burn until they almost melted.

Zhu Yan covered his forehead with his hand.
Between his fingers, his eyes burned like flames.
All he saw were black clouds swallowing the horizon in the south, sweeping aside everything in its path and casting the shadow of war.

Zhu Fen let out a furious roar and leapt into the sky.
He pointed the Fire Tablet of Heaven at the starry sky, and thousands of sparks rose up.
They lit up as thousands of scarlet stars, and the sky became resplendent.

Zhu Zai patted Zhu Yan on the shoulder and flew down from Fire Melt mountain, dropping down on one knee and plunging the Fire Tablet of Earth into the ground.

Rumble.
The ground shook violently.

Rumble! Every single volcano in the four hundred kilometers of Fire Melt mountain began to erupt.
The ground cracked and lava flowed freely.
There were even many new volcanoes being formed, destroying and swallowing the structures and reducing it to a burning sea of flames.
For the sake of this battle, the fire devourers had already cast aside everything.
They had the resolve to perish together with their enemy.

Only the main peak of Fire Melt mountain remained silent as if it was culminating in something…

Zhu Yan suddenly tightened his grip around the Fire Tablet of Man.
A roar erupted from the volcano behind him, even drowning out the eruptions of all the other volcanoes.
A huge, scarlet hand suddenly grabbed the edge of the crater, and soon afterwards, a colossal head that resembled a small mountain poked out, its simple facial features warped with fury.
It climbed out of the crater, and its scarlet body stood sturdy like a mountain with two fire dragons coiled around it.

The fire devourers all knelt down in worship, chanting Zhurong’s name.

This was the giant god of fire that Li Qingshan had once fought, except it now possessed a much clearer face and an even larger body, as well as unprecedented intelligence, or perhaps better described as divine nature.

The giant god of fire opened its mouth and rolling flames surged out.
Its chest heaved before it suddenly let out an earth-splitting roar, “Fight!”

“Fight!” The fire devourers all roared together.

Zhu Yan stood up and glanced deeply towards the south before turning around and entering the giant god of fire’s body.

Immediately, the giant god of fire’s face became even clearer, bearing some resemblance to Zhu Yan’s.
Its body became even more consolidated as if it was alive.
It leapt out of the crater and stood within the sea of flames.

At that moment, the sea of fire that spanned four hundred kilometers seemed to gather towards it.
The two fire dragons emitted a great cry.

The storm swept over, obscuring the starry sky and swallowing Fire Melt mountain in a single gulp.

Between the mountainous clouds, the three Merfolk Kings led all the Merfolk warriors into assuming a battle formation, gathering all of their strength together.
Under their urgings, the torrential rain turned into a turbulent flood, gushing towards Fire Melt mountain wave after wave and slamming against the protective formation!

Li Qingshan was also stunned by this sight.
This was a legendary war between gods.
As it seemed, it was not without reason that otherfolk were known as godfolk in the ancient times.
Only a flood like that condensed from such tremendous power had a chance at taking down Fire Melt mountain.

No matter how vicious the storms of nature were, it was impossible for them to directly take down the royal court of the fire devourers.
It could only suppress and destroy their natural advantage.
The central force for taking down the mountain was the battle formation.

At this moment, he suddenly raised his head.

The scarlet stars twinkled through the thick clouds and rained down!

A meteor smashed an opening in the tall, mountainous cloud in its way with a long, fiery tail, rushing straight towards the battlefield.
Thousands more meteors followed closely behind, obliterating the cloud.

Compared to the meteors seen on Giant Ship island, the meteor shower this time was at least ten times denser and more vicious! Indeed, last time was only a hurried sneak attack, and it had been carried out over the ocean.
Meanwhile, the attack this time had been prepared a good while ago, unleashed under the geographic advantage of Fire Melt mountain.

A whip-like tornado whistled out, and the first meteor exploded in the sky.
