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

In the thick mist, a huge figure swum around. A strange fish lunged over viciously with its mouth filled with horrific teeth, but strangely enough, it did not give off the slightest hint of daemon qi.

Not only was entering the thick mist around the academy like a mortal entering dense, confusing mist, but it could also turn into a powerful mist beast. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators would suffer when they faced it.

Li Qingshan recalled when he first entered the academy, he had once seen this fish’s figure. Back then, he found the strange fish to be so colossal, radiating with a terrifying aura.



Now, he casually gripped the strange fish like he had caught a dog. He allowed the strange fish to struggle as much as it wanted, but it could not break free. Afterwards, he clenched his hand and crushed it.

The monster dispersed as mist before reassembling as a long snake that coiled around him.

Li Qingshan’s body shuddered, unleashing the power of tremors. The Lake of Dragons and Snakes around him seemed to be ripped apart. It surged violently. The snake dispersed and did not condense again. Even the mist that surrounded the academy all year round began to scatter gradually.

He arrived before the Formation of Dragons and Snakes and said with his metallic voice, “Open the formation! I’ll leave as soon as I refine the Lake of Dragons and Snakes!”

“T- that’s impossible, unless you-”

Before Liu Zhangqing could even finish, Li Qingshan had already thrown a punch.

Boom!

Rings of light surged into the surroundings in the sky, away from Li Qingshan’s fist.

The crucial points on the various islands erupted with light, supporting the Formation of Dragons and Snakes and fending off Li Qingshan’s terrifying power. The formation constantly twisted.

“That’s impossible!” Liu Zhangqiong widened his eyes, filled with fear. Ever since the White Lotus cult infiltrated, the academy had reinforced the Formation of Dragons and Snakes. How could it be pushed so far with brute force alone?

Tremor!

A crack appeared on the Formation of Dragons and Snakes. Liu Zhangqing had already become completely speechless. When he considered the fate awaiting him for rejecting the moon demon once he breached the formation, he could not help but gulp.

“Hold on! Shut up! I can open the formation as long as you promise you won’t harm the disciples of my academy…”

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Li Qingshan completely ignored him. He threw consecutive punches and the crack constantly widened. The entire formation collapsed.

Hmph, I might not be able to shatter space, but that doesn’t mean I can’t shatter your puny formation!

Li Qingshan strode towards Contention island and glanced at Cloudwisp island in the process. With how sharp his eyesight was, he spotted the contrasting dead logs in a single glance. He could not help but be at a loss as for how to react. This bastard sure was a genius!

He held back his urge to throw a punch that way, turning around instead. He bent over and brought his face up to the tall building, asking Liu Zhangqing, “Is there anything else you want to say?”

Liu Zhangqing shook his head. Li Qingshan left as soon as he refined the Lake of Dragons and Snakes. He had yet to even open the Golden Core cultivators’ hundred treasures pouches he had obtained. The academy truly did not possess anything that could interest him anymore.

However, it was still not enough. If he wanted to suppress the ox demon, he needed even more and even vaster expanses of water.

Li Qingshan directed his gaze to the end of the Clear river.

“Piss off, Northmoon. This is already beyond Lolth’s territory!”

Above the marsh that the waters of the Clear river flowed into, Li Qingshan was constantly devouring and refining water when a bald, naked man leapt out of the marsh. He was sturdy, standing over three meters tall as his entire body rippled with muscles. He was like a bodybuilder.

Daemon qi surged from his body, on par with Lolth’s. He was actually a Daemon Commander too.

Li Qingshan had never thought the ones obstructing his plan to refine water would not be humans, but a daemon, and a powerful Daemon Commander at that.



Within the territory of the Ruyi commandery, Lolth was obviously not alone as a Daemon Commander. Otherwise, with how many Golden Core cultivators there were in the Ruyi commandery, they would have dealt with her a long time ago. The power of the daemons did pale slightly in comparison to the humans, but the difference was limited.

Lolth’s territory roughly spanned the region underneath the fifteen hundred kilometers of the Clear River province. The special characteristic of her territory was that it was not particularly large in area, but it reached very deep into the earth. It was equivalent to more than ten Clear River provinces.

Other regions obviously had other Daemon Commanders, and they also covered a territory more than ten Clear River prefectures.

In reality, because of her identity as a carapaced Daemon General, Lolth’s body was much tougher than regular Daemon Generals, and her three innate abilities covered both offence and defence flawlessly, even propelling her ability to fight and kill to the limit. As a result, her territory was relatively larger.

“You know me?” Li Qingshan was confused.

“I’ve obviously heard about the strongest Daemon General beneath Lolth. However, no matter how powerful a Daemon General is, they’re still a Daemon General. It’s not too late for you to piss off right now, or I’ll teach you a thorough lesson and have you understand what your identity is!”

The Daemon Commander brought his hands together and closed them viciously. His muscles popped even more as he revealed a cruel expression.





Chapter 558: Above the Marsh | Legend of the Great Sage




The rain fell thick and fast. Li Qingshan gazed at the marsh that was even larger than Moon Court lake in the distance as the bodies of water reflected the dark clouds in the sky.

Overall, it was a little more shallow, but its advantage was its vast area. If he could refine it, then the benefits he would receive might even exceed the Clear river. Perhaps he would be able to accumulate enough power to suppress the ox demon.

“Is this marsh your territory?”

Li Qingshan reeled in his gaze, directing it at the burly Daemon Commander before him. He refused to believe any Daemon Commander was bold enough to move around on the surface. The Ruyi commandery neighboured the Dragon province, which was the nucleus that ruled over the Great Xia empire. It was not a place remote like the Mist province.

“Piss off!”

The burly Daemon Commander bellowed, giving no explanation. How dare a measly Daemon General question him!

At the same time, he opened his mouth to an unbelievable degree and spat out a half-transparent gas. It rapidly moved through the air, stretching into an oval as it flew towards Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan raised his hand, spread his fingers, and grabbed the gas. He felt a tremendous force applied to his palm, actually causing it to ache slightly. “You really are a Daemon Commander. All of you are quite capable.”

“That’s impossible!” The Daemon Commander’s eyes popped out all of a sudden. The gas was one of his innate abilities. It was so powerful that even Daemon Commanders dared not receive it directly, yet this Northmoon had managed to block it with a single hand.

He caused Li Qingshan quite the surprise. “There’s no need for you to respond as exaggeratedly as a cartoon character!”

The Daemon Commander had no idea what he was saying. The gas pushed hard, but it refused to budge anymore. He suddenly sneered, and the gas distorted violently.

Li Qingshan felt that an explosive power was about to erupt in his hand. He suppressed it momentarily with the spirit turtle, tossing it behind him casually.

Boom!

With a great rumble, a huge pit was created in the marsh from the blast. The fierce wind surged like a typhoon, and muddy water shot off like bullets.
