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

Sure enough, the space began to twist and ripple. They could vaguely make out the familiar aura of the Hungry Ghost realm and the Corpse Commanders all riled up with vigour.

At this moment, the Dark Queen appeared. Having refined the pill, not only did her strength recover, but even her vigour had been revitalised. She felt like she had spent three whole days and nights resting. She bore no resemblance to how she ran out of strength from a bitter battle earlier.

It doesn’t matter who’s helping me, right now is the best opportunity for killing these Corpse Commanders!

The Dark Queen’s gaze was chilly, noble, and composed. A black figure extended from her shadow, reaching over three hundred meters tall in the blink of an eye and turning into the Void-bellied Ghost King. It slammed down with its hand.

The sea of blood surged with violent waves as the Corpse Commanders scattered. The black sphere they had condensed after so much difficulty immediately collapsed.

The Dark Queen possessed the strength to contend with this group of Corpse Commanders in the first place, and not only had the Corpse Commanders lost two of their companions, but they had also lost the support of the corpse army.

And, the sea of blood constantly interfered with their actions and influenced them. When the Dark Queen appeared and destroyed the black sphere, the feeling of despair filled their minds immediately. They felt like it was useless no matter how they resisted, where they were better off simply giving up.

Although they managed to suppress this thought very quickly with their great willpower, their reactions still became delayed. And, they had to contend with the feeling of despair constantly, preventing them from unleashing their full strength.

As a result, the tables turned, and the Dark Queen easily gained the upper hand, suppressing the Corpse Commanders firmly. She fought them to the point where they fled for their lives, properly venting her feelings from earlier.

The Void-bellied Ghost King swung its hand at a Corpse Commander. A huge shadow enveloped it!

A sliver of despair appeared in the Corpse Commander’s eyes. He thought to himself, Even if I dodge this strike, what then? I’ll still end up dead! No, how can I think like that? Oh no!

He was distracted. By the time he returned to his senses, the huge hand had already filled his vision as the gust of wind rushed into his face. Dodging was already too late. He was sent flying viciously, falling into the sea of blood.

The Dark Queen knew this was nowhere near enough to kill a Corpse Commander. Right when she was about to go after him, she saw the region of blood surge violently and heard a horrific howl from the Corpse King. She could not help but become slightly taken aback.

She had had a lot of contact with the Hungry Ghost realm. She knew the minds and willpower of these zombies were almost numbingly tough. There was no pain that could faze them. Even when destruction descended upon them, they would not feel fear. As a result, almost all bewitching or enchanting techniques would struggle to be of any effect on them.

Just what terrifying thing can make a Corpse Commander let out a horrific howl like that?

As it turned out, the attack from the Void-bellied Ghost King had not smacked the Corpse Commander to death, but it did disperse his protective true qi. When he fell into the sea of blood, it was like he fell into a vat of sulfuric acid.



If the Corpse Commander had immediately circulated his corpse qi, he would have been able to force away the blood and escape from the sea of blood. However, under the furious corrosion of the blood, a feeling of great horror and great despair filled his heart, throwing his mind into chaos. He was like a drowning person that did not know how to swim, that only knew to struggle instinctively and desperately, but the more they struggled, the deeper they sank. His body was reduced to blood very soon, becoming a part of the sea of blood. He only left behind a set of bones that floated above the sea.

The Skeleton Demons rushed over and surrounded the bones. With a spray of Samādhi Flames of White Bone, they were melted into a ball of bone fluid very quickly. Before long, another Skeleton Demon leapt out of the flames. The number of Skeleton Demons now reached twenty-six, and Xiao An had reached a new bottleneck.





Chapter 547: A Farewell, a Great Blaze | Legend of the Great Sage




The black coffin exploded loudly and corpse qi gushed out like the tide.

Li Qingshan curled up like an infant as the Spirit Turtle’s Profound Shell rose up in layers, blocking the invading corpse qi before being eaten away and penetrated very soon.

His first line of defence shattered. Then he enveloped himself in the burning phoenix wings. Although the flames of the phoenix could suppress corpse qi, it was still very weak after all. It gave way very soon in the violent explosion, and the wings shattered. His second line of defence had been breached too.

But fortunately, after breaching two lines of defence, the power of the explosion had begun to weaken. His Ox Demon Forges its Hide forcefully withstood it, but a great chunk of his daemon qi was expended.

The Marquis of Ruyi was in much worse shape. He clearly did not possess such powerful defensive techniques like Li Qingshan. His luxurious clothes had been reduced to tatters, and even his skin had been dyed black, clearly contaminated with extremely potent corpse poison.

His clothes were official robes that the Great Xia empire specially designed for the governors of commanderies. It had been passed down through the generations. Like the Seal of Mountains and Rivers, not only was it a representation of identity and status, but it also possessed extremely great power.

When he wore it, the serpents on the clothing protected him like an indestructible fortress. Now that it had been forcefully ripped apart beyond repair, he had turned pale. He was filled with pain.

Only Gu Yanying stood with her hands behind her back, just as graceful as before. Her demeanour was completely unaffected. She seemed to be unscathed, but there were traces of corrosion on the hem of her clothes and the cuffs of her sleeves. The moment she emerged, she used a gaze as sharp as a hawk’s to search for the Dark Queen’s trace, but she found nothing.

“Is the Dark Queen dead?”

Fifty kilometers away, there was another great rumble. A Golden Core cultivator had fallen in battle and detonated their golden core.

The fierce wind ruffled her clothes wildly as her long, black hair drifted through the air.

Gu Yanying calculated quietly. “According to the auras, another Golden Core cultivator has fallen in battle, except they failed to blow up their golden core in time. The remaining cultivators have probably reached their limit too. If this continues, they’ll probably fall one after another. The Hungry Ghost realm has almost completely devoured this region.”

“Yanying, what should we do?”

For the first time in his life, he had experienced the horror of death. Remembering how the extravagances of his life, the fine wine and beautiful women, the great path of longevity, would all be leaving him, even his teeth began to chatter.

Gu Yanying thought, The Marquis of Ruyi can be considered a talent, but he has been sheltered by his seniors too much. After all, he hasn’t undergone trials of life and death before. Normally, he can maintain the bearing of a marquis, but when he faces a major matter regarding his fate, he becomes frantic.

Li Qingshan sneered. “What shitty Marquis of Ruyi? Normally you swagger around on your high horse, but when it matters, you just become a coward!”

The Marquis of Ruyi flew into a rage. “How dare you insult me, wretched daemon!”

Gu Yanying said with surprise, “You sure are very composed.”

Li Qingshan smiled. “If I faced life-threatened danger, I wouldn’t necessarily be able to smile either. However, these zombies aren’t enough to claim my life!” Afterwards, he said to the Marquis of Ruyi, “How about this? If you give me your sumeru ring, I’ll save your life!”
