Legend of the Great Sage

nd tearing away the flames, carrying out revenge delightfully.

The giant god that had been unstoppable a moment earlier had become a trapped beast within the storm.

“Die!” The giant god of fire threw its spear forcefully, but a stroke from Ye Duanai split it in half in the air.

When Li Qingshan saw this, he found it to be sombre, but that only lasted for a moment.
The battle had continued up until now, and a majority of the several thousand Merfolk warriors were already dead or injured.
On the other hand, apart from a small handful that died from overexertion, the fire devourers had all retreated to the main peak.

What made him lament the most was not actually being insulted and hunted down, nor was it the losses of the Merfolk and the Fire Devouring Folk, much less the terrible fate of Ji Changfeng’s sect that he bore a grudge for.
Instead, it was what no one noticed, the several hundred thousand mortals on Giant Ship island that had gone up in flames.

Just like the aspect of him that Gong Yuan despised, he had yet to completely break away from the realm, the vulgarity, of mortals.
At the very least, you can still die a solemn and stirring death in a cornered battle, Zhu Yan, unlike the mortals that perished like weeds.

With his respect for a warrior, he wanted to use his full strength and kill Zhu Yan then and there!

“King Yan, don’t become caught up in the battle.
Look to the south.
The storm is coming.
Retreat back to the main peak immediately!”

Zhu Fen communicated urgently, and Zhu Yan recovered some of his calm.
He looked to the south, and a dazzling region of light appeared.
The region of golden light spanned several hundred kilometers and was rapidly approaching Fire Melt mountain.

In order to maximise the strength of the storm, Ji Changfeng had sent it hurling straight towards Fire Melt mountain under his delicate control.
However, that also meant the eye of the storm would be passing Fire melt mountain.
It would only take a short while before it was gone, but it would turn the main peak of Fire melt mountain into a windless, rainless place.
As long as they grasped this opportunity, they could turn the tables.
They had not entered dire straits just yet!

Zhu Yan scanned everyone in disdain.
“Do you really think you can kill me, Zhu Yan, with just this tiny amount of resolve?” He turned around and flew towards the main peak.

“Myriad Poison, keep him busy!” Li Qingshan ordered.

Everyone was stunned.
Everyone had heard about the Myriad Poison Ancestor’s reputation before.
They were already very surprised by how he had come and assisted them.
With how cautious he was and how much he cherished his life, why would he endanger himself to stop Zhu Yan?

However, to everyone’s disbelief, the Myriad Poison Ancestor really did leap up and turn into the Poison Assimilating Ghost King, blocking Zhu Yan’s path.

Li Qingshan said, “You want to perish with us? Then I’ll give you the opportunity to perish with us! C’mon, show me your resolve!”

Gong Yuan stared at him in complete surprise.
He turned around and asked, “Are we really going to let him return to the main peak? Once we get through the formation, just how much strength will we have left? How much strength will they have left?”

Gong Yuan frowned slightly.
Since the beginning of the battle, they had not lost a single great cultivator, but the situation was not optimistic.
Ji Changfeng was already out of strength to keep fighting, while the aspect that Ye Duanhai was probably the least skilled at was a prolonged battle as a great sword cultivator.
In order to control the flood and attack the protective formation, the three Merfolk Kings had also used up their full strength.
Even casting the techniques earlier took them quite the effort.

Even she and Li Qingshan had used up all of their mental and physical efforts in the process of fending off the giant god of fire and the Fire Dragon of the Land earlier.
They had only lasted until now through the wonders of dual cultivation and the power of Ruin’s End that the Heart of the Abyss constantly released.

The Merfolk battle formation had already scattered, while the defences of the main peak definitely could not be breached so easily.
If the three Fire Devouring Kings were allowed to recuperate and launch a counterattack together, then the situation would become extremely dangerous.
Earlier, she had actually thought the outcome of the battle was already decided.
She had been far too naive.

“What do you think?”

“We’ve already come so far.
If we don’t even take a bit of risk, we’ll be underestimating our opponents a bit too much.” Li Qingshan smiled and tightened his arm around Gong Yuan’s waist before flying towards Zhu Yan.

“Fine then! I’ll trust you!” Gong Yuan shook her head helplessly, and the corner of her lips curled into a smile.
Ignoring her mental exhaustion, she powered the Heart of the Abyss as hard as she could, and the power of Ruin’s End expanded once more, turning into a black spirit turtle in the air and slamming heavily against the giant god of fire’s back.

Zhu Ren rushed over in a hurry to provide support, but there was a flash of light that intercepted him.
Faced with Zhu Fen’s furious expression, Ye Duanhai said indifferently, “What, you also want to blow yourself up?”

Their eyes met and sparks flew.
They became locked in battle once more, but this time, Ye Duanhai truly lost the upper hand, which seemed to demonstrate that Li Qingshan’s thoughts were not all a sham.

The three Merfolk Kings exchanged glances and nodded at the same time.
They raised the flood through their strength alone, which slammed viciously against the main peak of Fire Melt mountain.

Boom!

Like the world shattering, the flood surged and splashed as countless droplets, and the main peak shook violently.
The surrounding mountains were completely flooded by the water already.
Only the main peak remained standing, like a lone island in the ocean.

Zhu Zai’s expression changed.
Originally, she wanted to use the formation to attack and assist Zhu Fen and Zhu Zai, but now, she guarded the formation in a hurry, afraid to split her focus even for a moment.

To the north of Fire Melt mountain, the last spiritual stone cannon was reduced to a pile of scrap metal in the explosion of spiritual qi.

Yu Wufeng swung the Fogbow sword and ordered, “Attack! If anyone even thinks about retreating, I’ll cut you down!”

The cave masters heard that and all shivered.

“For the King of Savages!” the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber called out.
He sucked in a deep breath and turned into a huge ball of flesh.
A streak of blood-red light sprayed out violently from his mouth as it barraged the main peak.

The ten cave masters all used their full strength to attack the main peak.

Fighting was present everywhere.
At the same time, the resplendent glow of the eye of the storm drew closer and closer.
Just whose glory would it belong to?
