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

The Corpse King felt threatened. He spat out as much corpse fluid as possible, no longer caring about how much he used. The poisonous dragon whistled and tore apart the blood dragon before coiling downwards.

Li Qingshan was still five kilometers away from the Gate of Hungry Ghosts when he paused for a moment. His knees bent slightly as he raised his iron fist into the air. He unleashed a ring of shockwaves beneath his iron hooves.

He let out a furious roar!

The poisonous dragon struck nothing. Li Qingshan had taken off like a cannonball, landing a punch on the distorted space.

Boom!

The space shot violently. Black cracks rapidly spread out from his fist, filling the space above the Gate of Hungry Ghosts.

Like the cracked ground, the distorted space fractured into pieces. Unlike the tiny cracks earlier, they were like black abysses now.

Li Qingshan could not help but think about the four words, “the shattering of space”. Otherwise, he would not have been able to describe what he was currently seeing.

“No!”

The Corpse King howled furiously, actually pulling his legs out of the Gate of Hungry Ghosts and lunging towards Li Qingshan. He fell like a mountain. He was unstoppable.



Li Qingshan had already used up his final shred of daemon qi and strength. He turned back to the size of a regular human as he raised his head and watched the Corpse King lunge over.

His shoulders suddenly tightened. Looking back, Gu Yanying had grabbed him by the shoulders like a hawk catching a rabbit, lifting him into the air.

The huge, withered hand extended over, reaching towards them as it pierced through the air. It rapidly closed the distance between them, actually moving even faster than Gu Yanying!

Li Qingshan’s heart was in his throat, but he heard Gu Yanying say, “Relax!” She slowed down. Looking back, the tips of the sharp fingers were about to touch her face when they suddenly stopped.

She smiled. “Looks like we’ve won this round!”





Chapter 553: Seal | Legend of the Great Sage




Li Qingshan guessed that the transparent feather from Gu Yanying originally possessed the power to destroy boundaries. By exploding above the Gate of Hungry Ghosts, the power was evenly spread through the space. As a result, the space became weaker, which was why he could shatter it in a single punch.

“Thanks!”

“No problem.”

Sharp, mocking laughter and sneers of disdain rose up like the tide in the Hungry Ghost realm. The glowing, green eyes all gazed at the carved-up Corpse King greedily as if they were not looking at a dried corpse. Instead, it seemed like they were people who had been starved for three whole days, looking at a table of delicious food.

At this very moment, the chunks of the Corpse King’s body flew together and assembled once again. He let out a furious roar, actually still alive.

The Void-bellied Ghost King rose up from the ground, and its mouth opened to an unbelievable size like opening a massive bag, pointing it at the Corpse King and sucking hard.

The Dark Queen who had been preparing the entire time finally took action.

Corpse qi oozed out of the severing wounds across the Corpse King’s body, sucked into the Void-bellied Ghost King’s mouth.

The Void-bellied Ghost King’s stomach swelled up like it was heavily pregnant. Its figure became more and more consolidated, and its aura became greater and greater too.

The Corpse King finally showed fear. He swung his arms madly as he put up a desperate struggle, but he was unable to stop his aura from leaking away.

Li Qingshan was slightly surprised. Gu Yanying explained, “The reason why the Hungry Ghost realm is called the Hungry Ghost realm is because the undead in there can only constantly devour one another to constantly grow stronger and survive. Look, the Corpse King would much rather put up a struggle here than return to the Hungry Ghost realm. He still has a chance of surviving here, but if he returns, the only fate awaiting him would be being carved up and feasted on.”

There was something else Gu Yanying had not mentioned. If the Dark Queen devoured a Corpse King, her strength would definitely increase drastically, and her cultivation had reached the peak of the second heavenly tribulation a long time ago. If she could overcome the thing holding her back mentally, she had quite the confidence with overcoming the third heavenly tribulation. The situation of the Green province would change once again.

The Samādhi Flames of White Bone swept over, covering the Corpse King and severing his slim chance of survival.

The Corpse King was heavily injured and suppressed by the Void-bellied Ghost King, so he could no longer stop the spread of the fire. His divided body was immediately set alight, turning into a great blaze in the blink of an eye.

The Dark Queen and Xiao An exchanged gazes from afar. They carved him up and completely killed off the Corpse King.

“Argh! I refuse… I refu…” The Corpse King let out a final groan. He had never thought he would die in such a world, to a group of people like this.

The flames fueled by the Corpse King’s remains were especially distinct and contrasting in colour. Clearly, it was well beyond what regular Corpse Generals and Corpse Commanders could produce.

Xiao An did not continue to forge the Buddha Slaying sword embryo. Instead, she gathered it all carefully. This was critical for her breakthrough to the second layer of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty.

The white flames roared, illuminating the entire region. The light even reached the Hungry Ghost realm.

There were countless gasps of surprise in the Hungry Ghost realm. The legend of the “white holy fire” was extremely widespread in the Hungry Ghost realm.

Now, it truly appeared!

The Dark Queen immediately got to work with sealing the Gate of Hungry Ghosts. She took out a pale-white item that resembled a sharp pick. Li Qingshan could vaguely make out countless hideous corpses and ghosts embracing one another on there.

The Dark Queen tossed it into the air, and it expanded to over thirty meters long. The undead became clearer. It hovered in the air like a huge sword, slowly and sturdily planting into the Gate of Hungry Ghosts.

The black cracks all closed up when they encountered the pale-white sword, unable to damage it.



Li Qingshan asked, “This is?”

Gu Yanying said, “A Key of Hungry Ghosts!”

To be bold enough to use the powers of the Hungry Ghost realm, the Umbral Yin sect understood its horrors the best. They had prepared numerous countermeasures to prevent Gates of Hungry Ghosts from devouring and invading the space around them. This was one of them.

However, the Dark Queen was rather worried inside. If another Corpse King or Ghost King appeared and kept the Gate of Hungry Ghosts open, they would only need a few seconds, and the Hungry Ghost realm would completely descend.

However, bewildered by the white flames and the shattered space above the Gate of Hungry Ghosts, there were no undead bold enough to charge over and risk their lives immediately. All of them hesitated.

Just like that, the Gate of Hungry Ghosts rapidly closed.

The reluctant roars and howls from the Hungry Ghost realm flooded over like a tsunami. The undead all reacted, lunging over.

However, as the Key of Hungry Ghosts turned, the sounds rapidly receded and grew distant. The hideous figures of the undead gradually blurred. In the end, only the glimmering specks of green light remained before dimming and vanishing.

The Gate of Hungry Ghosts slammed shut.

The voices and figures all vanished in that instant, locked up in another world.

Gu Yanying clapped her hands. “We’ve succeeded!”

The Marquis of Ruyi’s eyes heated up. He could not help but feel like he wanted to cry. This was the feeling of surviving a great disaster. It was simply fantastic.

The Dark Queen looked back, gazing at Xiao An again. Her brows furrowed slightly as she wanted to say something, but she faltered.
