Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 501-Chapter 600)

Li Qingshan said. If he did not possess the Demon Suppression Statuary and was unable to use his powers as a daemon, Xiao An was indeed much more powerful than him. However, against these demonfolk, it would prove nothing even if she fought. She had to kill some stronger people down below.

Unbeknownst to him, his actions of casually hugging and touching the genius disciple of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga had already greatly displeased the abbot of the monastery, the Dauntless monk. He could not help but snort coldly, tempted to pull him out of there right now and lop off his hand.





Chapter 573: Complete Demonification | Legend of the Great Sage




The Unraging monk laughed aloud. “Both of them have a destiny with the buddha, and they’ve both joined our Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga. Fate has basically bound them together. They’re a match made in heaven. It won’t be easy for you to separate them, senior brother.”

“You need to keep a proper eye over your disciple.”

Although the Dauntless monk was displeased, he instead relaxed slightly inside. Xiao An’s behaviour all along had been too perfect. One was unable to find any flaw at all, which instead brought unease.

Now that she behaved like a regular girl, she seemed much more normal. These feelings between a man and a woman could be eliminated with gradual guidance.

……

Li Qingshan walked towards the open door and suddenly asked, “Duoge, don’t you like women?”

Duoge said, “I’m still young, so I don’t like women. Otherwise, even I don’t know what I’ll do. I can only control myself once I become very strong.”

“Yeah. You need to learn how to control yourself. You can’t let your demon heart twist your conscience.”

Duoge nodded blankly and murmured the word “conscience”. If an eminent monk of buddhism had tried to persuade him to do that, he might not have necessarily accepted it, but since even the venerable had said that, it could not be wrong.

Li Qingshan stepped into the doorway, and his surroundings twisted as if he had been sucked into a vortex. When he returned to his senses, he had already appeared in a golden room, similar to the prison on the upper floor. However, when he raised his head and looked around, he noticed the ceiling was even higher up now.

It only made him more certain about the impressive origins of the Demon Suppression hall. The height of these two floors alone had already exceeded what Great Buddha mountain could hide. If this were to continue, then the height and area of the Demon Suppression hall would probably even exceed Great Buddha mountain and the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga.

He waited for a while in the prison, but he did not see Xiao An or Duoge appear.

“Oh no, I didn’t expect we’d be teleported randomly and not to the square on the lower floor. I forgot to hold Xiao An’s hand. But with Xiao An’s strength, she shouldn’t be in any danger. I only need to look around for her, that’s all.”

……

Watching Li Qingshan and Xiao An pass through the door first, Duoge picked up a few scattered demon hearts on the ground and shoved them into his mouth, but he began to hesitate inside.

The demonfolk on the next floor would definitely be more powerful than the ones on this floor. If he ventured down with his strength, safety was not guaranteed at all. And, after eating these demon hearts, he could feel his body surging with vigour. His strength had increased drastically, and he no longer faced much danger on this floor. It was a good opportunity for him to escape from them.

As the demon hearts entered his body, they were like droplets of water, merging with his own demon heart, which thumped vigorously. An eerie smile that completely contrasted against his age appeared on his face.

“I can obtain even more demon hearts and become even stronger if I follow them. It’ll be worth it to take some risk.”

Before he walked through the door, Duoge raised his head and glanced at the towering Demon Suppression statue again. He was rather confused. He’s clearly not injured, so why is he in so much pain?

He became somewhat lost. He recalled how he had also been in pain when he was almost eaten earlier. His body was not all that ached. He felt pain somewhere else that he was unable to locate, somewhere far, far away.

He subconsciously rubbed his chest. His heart thumped loudly.

Was that his conscience?

To demonfolk, as long as their demon hearts were not destroyed, they would not die even if their hearts were pierced, so they would often forget about its existence.

He heard that as long as he understood the secrets in the statue, he could go home. Go home? He shook his head. His mother had already been eaten. There was no such thing as home anymore.



Suddenly, he pressed against his chest. The strange sensation appeared again. His nose tingled and burned slightly.

His small, dark face scrunched up into a ball. He hated this feeling!

Fortunately, another voice rang out in his heart at this moment. “Quick, follow them, or there will be no more demon hearts to eat. Such a great opportunity rarely appears. You have to make good use of them!”

He let out a breath, and the strange feeling finally vanished. However, when he stepped through the door, the image of the Demon Suppression statue was firmly embedded in his mind. The pair of pained eyes stared right at him.

The moment Duoge touched the ground, he felt his body grow heavy, having been pressed firmly against the ground.

“Look at what I’ve caught. Heh, it’s a small one. Seems like he came down from above. How brave. He’s just enough for a meal for me.”

A fierce-looking fatty pinned Duoge to the ground with one foot. He carried a bloody butcher’s blade in one hand as he showed off to his companion on the side, waving the blade around Duoge. As he laughed aloud, he revealed his mouth full of sharp teeth.

“Venerable, venerable! Save me!”

Duoge cried out in fright, but no one paid any attention to his calls. That was merely the howls of food.

“What enough for a meal for you? Those who see it get a share as well. Cut him right down the middle. We can have half each!”

A demonfolk tall and thin like a bamboo pole stood beside the fat demonfolk. His arms were so abnormally long that they almost touched the ground. He looked like a gibbon. He grabbed one of Duoge’s arms as he made a ruckus unhappily.

“Let go! I caught him, so why should I give you half? I’ll give you an arm at most to have a taste.”

“An arm? Quit dreaming. No, all I want is half!”

The fat demonfolk pinned Duoge to the ground firmly, while the thin demonfolk extended his other hand and grabbed Duoge’s other arm, tugging him hard and refusing to let go.

Duoge felt like his body was about to be ripped apart and let out a painful wail.

Swish! There was a flash of a blade and blood spattered.

The thin demonfolk staggered backwards. His abnormally long arms had been cut in half. He was filled with surprise and anger. “How dare you…”

The fat demonfolk lifted the butcher’s blade and pointed it at him. “Since you refuse, I’ll eat you too then.”

“Let’s see who’s eating who!”

The thin demonfolk’s waist suddenly elongated, lunging towards the fat demonfolk like a snake. Long tentacles grew from the severed stump of his arms, wrapping around the fat demonfolk’s neck.

Duoge’s body crackled. Who knew how many bones in his body had been crushed. He was in great agony.

However, his body became unbearably hot as his demon heart thumped heavily like a drum.

Duoge had devoured several demon hearts all at once. The demonic power in each one was several times greater than what he possessed, so it should have erupted a long time ago. However, he had been right next to the Demon Suppression statue earlier, which constantly gave off the power to suppress demons. Now that he had left the Demon Suppression statue’s side, this power erupted immediately.

And, because he was too young, he did not understand the risks that came with recklessly eating demon hearts.

Foul demon qi surged out, wrapping around his body. His small, skinny hands completely turned into pitch-black claws, scraping around the golden ground and producing ear-piercing screeches, sending sparks flying.
