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

A man with scarlet hair ignored the icy-cold climate and travelled on the ice. Wherever he passed by, the ice would shatter loudly, and the slumbering river would toss and turn like a waking dragon, while he was standing on the dragon’s head.

Li Qingshan gazed at the snowy sky and let out a white breath before gazing ahead again. This river that was no smaller than the Clear river finally reached its end too. He had almost refined it completely.

If this one was included, he would have refined four large rivers and eight large lakes. These lakes and rivers were all major rivers and lakes that could rival the Clear river and Moon Court lake. There were countless other bodies of water too.

He was already very far away from the Clear River prefecture now. He had basically followed the twisting rivers and traversed the entire Ruyi commandery. The spirit turtle’s daemon core finally showed signs of filling up, and the fourth layer of the spirit turtle had finally almost been pushed to the peak. Now, both the quality and quantity of his daemon qi had achieved or even surpassed the level of Daemon Commanders.

However, a new problem arose at the same time. As the spirit turtle strengthened, the pressure that the phoenix faced gradually intensified. It had even become sluggish for him to use the phoenix wings. Once he truly broke through to the fifth layer of the spirit turtle, then the balance he had narrowly achieved would probably be broken.

By then, perhaps the spirit turtle would completely suppress the phoenix and reject this power that was a polar opposite. His cultivation of the Phoenix’s Scripture of Nirvā?a would become even more difficult.

There was a hint of exhaustion on his face too. Although he could recover his daemon qi through the Water God Seal and he could recover his strength through the Strength of the Earth, he had been constantly battling, refining bodies of water, before battling even more.

In order to see Han Qiongzhi as soon as possible, he seized every second. He did not relax mentally for even a moment.

Li Qingshan pondered with his brows furrowed for a moment before deciding to continue on his way. He would refine this river first before deciding what to do next. Right when he was about to refine the river, it suddenly ended in failure.

Li Qingshan looked back in the direction of the river. “Someone is making trouble upstream! That’s strange. I’ve already defeated this territory’s Daemon Commander. Who can still obstruct me? Have the humans finally responded and sent someone?”

He unfurled the phoenix wings and soared into the sky, arriving upstream very soon. He was surprised. “It’s you!”

Surprisingly enough, the one that got in his way of refining the river was the bullfrog Daemon Commander he had defeated first. He currently had his mouth wide open as he looked at Li Qingshan in a mocking manner.

“How bold of you. This isn’t even your territory, so why are you here… Hmm? All of you, come out!”

Li Qingshan’s heart skipped a beat. The spirit turtle actually detected a sliver of danger. Combined with the bullfrog Daemon Commander’s arrogant attitude, he immediately understood what was going on and called out.

The haze in the air twisted, revealing multiple Daemon Commanders. Li Qingshan was very familiar with this move too. It was the innate ability of a Daemon Commander he had defeated a month ago. In order to deal with him, it had taken him quite the effort.

Sure enough, when he looked at the Daemon Commanders, there were many familiar faces.

Li Qingshan scanned past them. There were thirteen Daemon Commanders in total, some defeated by him and some he had never seen before. Most of the Daemon Commanders within the Ruyi commandery had appeared.

They all leered at Li Qingshan as powerful clusters of daemon qi rushed into the air. They were hostile.

The bullfrog Daemon Commander let out a strange croak. “How’s that, Northmoon? You afraid now? Hand over your Water God Seal and bow to us in apology and we’ll spare your life.”



“You’re bold enough to try and kill me?”

Li Qingshan frowned. Daemon Commanders all occupied their own territories. Rarely did they band together like this, and he had not even seen some of the Daemon Commanders before. He did not have any disputes with them, yet they had actually come to gang up on him.

“You’ve defied your superiors and encroached upon our territory. Even if we kill you, the dragon king won’t blame us,” the bullfrog Daemon Commander said viciously. Laws could not punish too many people. It was impossible for the Dragon King of Ink Sea to punish them over the death of a “Northmoon”.

“I defeated you and spared your life, yet you’re shameless enough to gang up on me?”

Battles for territory among daemons had their own set of rules. Defeat was defeat. This was why Li Qingshan had never gotten Xiao An to assist him, just so he could avoid any Daemon Commanders unconvinced with their defeat and hassling him endlessly. Their actions had basically broken the rules.

And, rivers and lakes on the surface were not particularly important to them unless they were water Daemon Commanders. As a matter of fact, it did not even count as their territory. There was absolutely no need for them to go to war like this.

There were far too many things that made no sense.

“Cut the bullshit!” The bullfrog Daemon Commander let out a strange bellow and reverted to his original form. He crouched on the ground and opened his mouth, spitting out a huge bubble.

“Come!” The exhaustion in Li Qingshan’s eyes vanished, shining with a blazing light instead.

In that moment, over a dozen abilities dazzled his eyes. There were direct attacks and abilities to ensnare the opponent. There were far too many to see, let alone dodge.

Light illuminated the air as streams of air swept out violently.

Even if a Daemon Commander was sucked in, only death would be awaiting them.

Li Qingshan spread his arms and struck the space heavily. Around him, black shockwaves dispersed outwards as black cracks spread out like spiderwebs, shattering and tearing apart the countless abilities.

The phoenix wings unfurled and fire and wind blazed and danced. He created a trail of fire as he broke free from the encirclement.

“Don’t let him escape!” Some Daemon Commanders called out.

“Escape? Hmph!” Li Qingshan flapped his wings, approaching the Daemon Commander closest to him in the blink of an eye and used the “Tiger Demon Digs Out the Heart” he had not used in quite some time.

In human form, the Daemon Commander was a stocky, dark-skinned man. Two long, sharp teeth protruded from his mouth as he butted them towards Li Qingshan. He was a wild boar daemon.

He completely ignored Li Qingshan’s strike. One of his innate abilities was his thick hide. In terms of defence, he was even more powerful than Lolth.

Clang! Li Qingshan extended the horns on his head and caught the tusks.

Black cracks coiled around his slender, white arm, piercing the wild boar daemon’s hide and digging out a bloody heart. He directly shoved it into his mouth, chewed it a few times before swallowing.

The boar heart reeking with blood riled his killing intent. He grabbed the wild boar daemon’s tusks with both hands and snapped them off with a crack. Then he wrapped his arm around the wild boar daemon’s neck and malice surged from his body. He sneered. “Apologies, I went too easy last time, which is why you all still think you stand a chance. Today, no one’s allowed to leave!”





Chapter 560: Mo Yu Appears Again | Legend of the Great Sage




The Daemon Commanders that Li Qingshan had once fought before all showed disbelief.

He had become even stronger, much stronger than when they fought with him before.

Over the past two months, Li Qingshan had been constantly refining bodies of water. As he pushed the fourth layer of the spirit turtle to the limit, he could gradually unleash the true power of the fifth layer of the ox demon bit by bit. He grew stronger with each step forward.

The wild boar daemon shrieked, “If you kill me, the dragon king will never spare you.”
