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

A great war was on the verge of breaking out, but to everyone’s surprise, it was not between humans and daemons, but the living and the dead.

The Dark Queen hesitated. If all these Golden Core cultivators worked together, she would have some confidence in succeeding if she tried sealing off the Gate of Hungry Ghosts right now.

However, the well-off dared not take even a single risk that would endanger their lives. With her identity, there was no need for her to take this risk at all. The Umbral Yin sect had never been an upright sect that burdened itself over the fate of the world. She had not come to the Clear River prefecture for this either.

As a result, she no longer hesitated anymore. She merely signaled to Gu Yanying, turned around and took off into the distance, expressing she had completely given up on sealing the Gate of Hungry Ghosts.

The other Golden Core cultivators who had just arrived all stopped as well. For a moment, they had no idea what to do.

Gu Yanying let out a gentle sigh, also planning to retreat. Having achieved so much whilst opposing a Corpse King from the Hungry Ghost realm, she had already reached the limit of what she could do. All that was left was her to see how the “kings” of the Green province would respond.

It’s not like I own this world.

Their thoughts were exactly the same as Li Qingshan’s.

Han Anjun also began to pull back while fighting. On the other hand, the Marquis of Ruyi recalled the Seal of Mountains and Rivers only to discover that the Seal of Mountains and Rivers had dimmed drastically, and a lot of its power of belief had been consumed. It had sustained many hidden traces of damage from the corrosion of corpse qi, which filled him with anguish.

At the same time, the colossal Corpse Commander corpse beast crouched before the Gate of Hungry Ghosts like a hill.

“Zi’er” stood on its head, gazing ahead proudly like a king overlooking his domain. His Corpse Commander guards had already surpassed ten in the blink of an eye.

Gu Yanying and the others were unable to pose any threat to her anymore, and if the other Golden Core cultivators were bold enough to approach her, all that awaited them would be death.

Beneath her, Corpse Soldiers gushed out like the tide, assembling into various military formations under the directions of Corpse Generals before forming great arrays under the Corpse Commanders’ commands.

In the blink of an eye, another million Corpse Soldiers had gathered again, possessing even sturdier and grander military might.

Her command seemed to possess a transformative power. The million-strong army began to move, changing their formations as corpse qi filled the air. They were like a vicious beast that devoured everything.

The power of the Corpse Soldiers gathered on the Corpse Generals and the power of the Corpse Generals gathered on the Corpse Commanders.

In the end, all of the power gathered on her. As a Corpse King, organising battles like this in the Hungry Ghost realm had already become as common as dirt, and their opponent this time was pitifully weak.



However, he did know that the truly powerful members of this world had yet to take action. Perhaps they were currently on their way, or perhaps they were still observing, but without a doubt, this was his best opportunity.

“Zi’er” unfurled her arms and opened her vermillion lips slightly. She said in a hoarse, dry voice, “All of you better stay behind!”

She lifted her hands into the air, cupping a glaze-like eye with both hands. It did not glow at all, but space began to ripple like water.

“Is that a space-devouring beast’s eye!? Even I’ve only ever heard about it! How can he possess one? No wonder he’s so bold!”

The Dark Queen’s face changed and immediately accelerated. She refused to remain for a second longer.

The other Golden Core cultivators did not react slowly either. Two of them had even taken out Escape talismans that could take them five hundred kilometers away.

However, all of this was already too late.

The speed of the ripples could not be described with words. In comparison, the actions of the cultivators made them seem like they had come to a standstill.

The Gate of Hungry Ghosts twisted and suddenly expanded, like a huge mouth taking a vicious chunk out of the World of the Nine Provinces.

By the time everyone returned to their senses, they discovered the world had already changed.

The sky had completely turned into the deathly grey of the Hungry Ghost realm. The chilly winds whistled as heavy clouds hung gloomily.

The ground had become piled with white bones while the rivers flowed with black blood.

Centred around Burial Mound mountain, a radius of several hundred kilometers had begun to “overlap” with the Hungry Ghost realm. Although it had not been completely “digested” yet, it was only a matter of time.

No matter how powerful the Escape talismans were, they could not directly pierce the boundary between worlds.

“Zi’er” finally could not help but laugh madly. Just like that, even if figures who had undergone the three heavenly tribulations of this world arrived, there was nothing they could do to him.

He shut his eyes again, and her face became filled with great comfort and delight. The ever-present suppression and restraint from the world had completely vanished.

At the same time, all of his actions had gained the recognition of the “will” of the Hungry Ghost realm. He could sense the surging aura of death gather towards him.

The cultivation of his original body that remained in the Hungry Ghost realm became even stronger. If he could completely devour this world and kill all of its living creatures, he would be able to go from a Corpse King to a Corpse Emperor, or to an even higher cultivation realm. None of it was impossible.

Sure enough, he had not wasted the eye of a space-devouring beast that he had only obtained through luck, and the efforts he spent searching for a viable “world” would all pay off.

Now, all he had to do was wait for the Hungry Ghost realm to completely digest this space so that he could use it as a foundation and constantly expand into the surroundings.

Before that, he had to kill these cultivators first. Apart from devouring other worlds, killing powerful members of the living was the greatest offering to the Hungry Ghost realm.

Xiao An!

A black, semi-transparent barrier blocked his way, drawing a clear boundary. One side was life and the other death. Li Qingshan made his way toward the side of death without the slightest hesitation.

“Qingshan!” Hua Chengzan grabbed him firmly. “Dying is easy, but coming back alive is not!”





Chapter 544: The Flames of the Phoenix | Legend of the Great Sage




If the dead wanted to come back alive, it would be extremely difficult.

That was the situation in the space the Hungry Ghost realm devoured.

Li Qingshan smiled and broke free from Hua Chengzan’s grasp, leaping into the dark world of death. Looking back, dark mist enshrouded his vision. He could not see Hua Chengzan anymore. He could not even sense the aura of the outside world anymore.

As his air drifted through the air, it turned scarlet. Northmoon appeared and gazed around with his scarlet eyes.

He and Xiao An both possessed spiritual artifacts for communication, which was why they could sense each other’s locations. However, under the influence of the Hungry Ghost realm, they were unable to sense anything.

Why didn’t Xiao An retreat?

As he pondered that, the black mist before him suddenly surged, and the ground began to tremble slightly.

A Corpse General riding a corpse horse rushed over with almost ten thousand Corpse Soldiers behind him. He was cloaked in corpse qi, making it almost impossible to see him. Only a pair of green eyes shone brilliantly as he raised the war hammer in his hand high into the air with bone-deep hatred for the living.

Corpse qi condensed into a black, colossal war hammer, slamming down heavily.
