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

“What a great fire!” Li Qingshan shouted out in admiration.

The others were all speechless. The firelight made their faces flickered.

Gu Yanying frowned firmly. What is this fire? How come I’ve never heard of it? And how is it so powerful? She personally believed she possessed great knowledge and extensive experience, but now she saw a fire even she had never heard of before. Their fortuitous encounter truly had been unfathomable.



“White flames!”

“Zi’er” widened her eyes. The flames caused her a vague sense of fear, which made her suddenly remember an extremely widespread rumor within the Hungry Ghost realm. A long, long time ago, white holy fire had once descended from above and incinerated everything.

Although the fire had been forced out of the Hungry Ghost realm in the end, countless Corpse Kings and Ghost Kings were reduced to ashes in this great calamity of the Hungry Ghost realm. There had even been much more and even stronger existences well beyond his reach that had died in it.





Chapter 548: The Buddha Slaying Sword Embryo | Legend of the Great Sage




The Dark Queen suddenly extended her hand over. Her mind was in a mess. Was I mistaken? Are the throbs of my heart just a coincidence? If it’s not her, why did she save me? But if it’s really her, why won’t she recognise me? Why won’t she call me “queen mother”? Does she still hate me?

In the depths of this chilly, noble queen’s eyes, there was a sliver of confusion and a sliver of grief!

Only when the great fire reached the sky did she return to her senses. She saw the white figure flying freely above the sea of corpses, waving the long, blood-red banner. She was invincible!

This was her current power!

The Marquis of Ruyi’s mind shuddered. How can I possibly defeat an opponent like that? Even if I mobilise all the cultivators of the Ruyi commandery, could I even succeed?

In truth, the Samādhi Flames of White Bone were only extremely effective against undead. Against cultivators, particularly Golden Core cultivators, it was not necessarily that powerful. However, as the Marquis of Ruyi had faced constant life-threatening danger, his mind was already in a great mess. He had been viciously frightened.

As for the other Golden Core cultivators, they had become completely dumbfounded as they watched this terrifying sight that resembled the end of the world unfold before they could even feel relieved over their survival.

The flames had no concept of friend or foe. They also had to protect themselves with spiritual qi. One of the Golden Core cultivators had already been on their last breath within the encirclement of Corpse Commanders and had almost blown up his Golden Core. When the Samādhi Flames of White Bone reached him, he also erupted into flames with a boom.

“I refuse to accept this! I’ve planned for so long, only to fail because of an absurd legend!”

“Zi’er” drew in her arms and rushed into the air, heading right towards Xiao An.

The figure of a colossal ghost blocked her way like a mountain. It was the Void-bellied Ghost King that the Dark Queen had summoned. It looked down on “Zi’er” as it swung its huge hand towards “Zi’er” viciously.

Like the sky had collapsed, it actually felt like she was suffocating. “Zi’er” crossed her arms and assumed a defensive stance. She was struck with an unparalleled force, sent flying violently.

Her cultivation was merely equivalent to Corpse Commanders. Now that the corpse army had been destroyed by Xiao An, there was no longer anything she could rely on. She obviously was not the Dark Queen’s opponent.

The Void-bellied Ghost King took a step forward, stomping down on “Zi’er”.

Boom!

Rock was thrown into the air as the ground cracked, forming a deep pit.

The wisp of smoke on “Zi’er”’s back tugged her, which was why she managed to avoid the attack. Wind and fire assaulted from the left and right as Gu Yanying and Li Qingshan brushed past each other.

“Zi’er” twisted her body violently and fell downwards. Her right hand hissed from the flames of the phoenix, and a bloody gash was left behind on her face.

The wisp of black smoke on her back had suddenly been severed. She blinked her eyes as if she had awoken from a great dream before closing them again. She spread her arms and fell into the Gate of Hungry Ghosts.

By now, the Gate of Hungry Ghosts had already turned into a huge abyss. She vanished in the blink of an eye.

Gu Yanying looked back and smiled. “It’s fantastic that your highness is safe and sound.”

The Dark Queen nodded. “I’ve made you worry, my sister.” She turned around, and her gaze landed on Li Qingshan.

In that moment, Li Qingshan experienced a false impression that the gaze had pierced right through him. The Void-bellied Ghost King behind the Dark Queen seemed like it could swing its hand at him at any time.

The Dark Queen shifted her gaze away very soon and sighed gently. “Let’s seal the Gate of Hungry Ghosts first!” It was not like she planned on stopping if she did not receive a satisfying conclusion.



“Don’t you even think about it!”

A hoarse, ear-piercing voice rang out and echoed loudly through the Gate of Hungry Ghosts until it reached the sky.

Boom! A huge, withered hand extended out of the abyss, grabbing the edge of the pit. With a violent tug, a colossal figure leapt out.

Li Qingshan finally saw the Corpse King’s appearance. At first glance, he seemed like a dried, human corpse, but he was countless times bigger. Vicious-looking bone spikes protruded from his body while radiating with an unmatched pressure.

Due to the restrictions of the boundary, only the top half of his body extended out from the Gate of Hungry Ghosts, but he was still as tall as a small mountain. The black corpse qi that coiled around his body resembled the mist that lingered among mountains. His eyes akin to small lakes shone with a brutal green light as they stared viciously at the Void-bellied Ghost King. He swung his claws violently.

Four streaks of brutal, black light ripped through the air, targeting Xiao An in the distance. What made him feel threatened the most was not the woman before him who could control the Ghost King, but this tiny skeleton. As long as he could kill it, the several dozen Corpse Commanders under his command would be able to break free.

An even taller mountain blocked the Corpse King. The Void-bellied Ghost King forcefully took on the streaks of black light, staggering a few steps back. A few horrific claw marks appeared on its body. It threw a punch with a furious howl.

On the wasteland, a corpse and a ghost, two colossal beings, stood on the spot without dodging at all as they attacked one another furiously. One was unable to dodge, while the other remained in place to protect the “person” behind it.

This sight also left Li Qingshan shocked. He felt like he had returned to the primordial battlefield between gods and demons. However, he saw the Void-bellied Ghost King rapidly dim after receiving a few strikes.

On the other hand, the Corpse King became braver as he fought. Although he was unable to completely overcome from the powers of the boundary and reach this space from the Hungry Ghost realm, his strength was not something a mindless Ghost King controlled by a second heavenly tribulation cultivator could rival. As long as he lasted a little longer, the Hungry Ghost realm would completely devour this region, and by then, this would be his world!

“Your highness, I’ve come to assist you!” the Marquis of Ruyi called out. The Seal of Mountains and Rivers expanded to its limit and crushed down towards the Corpse King.
