Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 601-Chapter 700)

He unleashed the wings of wind violently. After becoming a Daemon Commander, the innate ability that belonged to the tiger demon had become more powerful and robust than ever. As he flapped them, they merged with floating slivers of atmospheric wind.

Clouds followed dragons, and the wind followed tigers!

TL: This saying comes from the Qian hexagram of the I Ching, Yi Jing, or Classic of Changes. It basically means mutual compatibility between certain things.

The wind fed the flames, and the wings of the phoenix blazed brightly.

Li Qingshan’s eyes narrowed, locking onto the palace at the bottom of Calm Wave lake. He suddenly descended.

The ground shot towards him with startling speed. In the blink of an eye, Calm Wave lake had completely filled his field of vision.

Li Qingshan’s pupils dilated, and his heart tensed up. He never thought he would actually be able to move so quickly now!

No longer suppressed by the spirit turtle, the power of the phoenix wings could finally be pushed to their limits. The wings of wind amplified them further, and the slivers of atmospheric wind assisted them.

However, that was not all. The ox demon’s new innate ability played a critical role too.

As Li Qingshan fell, a circular shape suddenly sunk in on the surface of the lake, only a few meters across. Directly below it was the underwater palace. A similar hole had appeared on the roof of the palace.

Big brother Sha currently sat under the hole. The moment before, he was still drinking happily with the Daemon Commanders, but in the next moment, he had collapsed on the ground in a horrible position. It was like an invisible force had pushed him down to the ground heavily. For a moment, he was actually immobilised.

There was a messy clatter as all the cups and dishes on the ground were reduced to dust. The jade table in front of him, as well as the jade tiles around him, suffered the same fate, forming a circular region that had sunken in.

“Big brother Sha!” The Daemon Commanders all paled in fright.



Big brother Sha lay firmly on the ground. His face was filled with shock, as he actually had no idea where the attack came from.

As the water god of this region, no one could hide from his senses if they entered this water territory. Even if they could completely conceal their aura, they could not conceal their existence. As long as they entered the water, they would obviously have to part the water to advance. Yet, even after being attacked right now, he had yet to discover the enemy.

The method of attack was far too strange. It was nothing physical, nor was it some ability or technique. Although it did not cause him any substantial damage, he felt like he was carrying a mountain on his back, completely immobilised.

“What’s going on?”

The Gravity of the Earth was the name of the ox demon’s new innate ability, only a single word off from the Strength of the Earth. As its name suggested, it could control the gravity within a certain region, making everything as light as a feather or as heavy as a mountain.

The reason why Li Qingshan could fall so startlingly fast was because he had been enhanced by this gravitational pull. As long as they dwelled in this region, no creature, absolutely nothing, could escape from this force. What attacked big brother Sha was the boundless earth, or in other words, he could not withstand his own weight.

Big brother Sha could sense intense danger; it was as if imminent catastrophe was descending over him. He responded extremely quickly. With a sudden transformation, he turned into a huge, dark-green, softshell turtle, and he immediately felt much safer. He was extremely confident in the defences of the turtle shell on his back. Among his three innate abilities, the most powerful one was the shell.

At that moment, all the Daemon Commanders felt tremendous daemon qi descend from above. Before they could even respond, they saw a flash of scarlet light in their eyes.

Li Qingshan landed a punch on the turtle shell. He only paused for a moment, and he grinned.

The unforgettable scarlet hair and eyes made all the daemons cry out, “Northmoon!”

Soon afterwards, the lake water surged in violently and swept them away. The magnificent underwater palace was immediately reduced to pieces, surging off into all directions.

The banquet had come to an end.





Chapter 694: Innate Ability of the Tiger Demon, Subservience to the Tiger | Legend of the Great Sage




The willows and poplar trees around Calm Wave lake were verdant. It was the height of spring, so many people moved around the lake. There were young masters and misses on spring outings, as well as travelling merchants and vendors carrying out business.

The ground suddenly shook. Many people lost their footing and fell to the ground, and a small carriage almost rolled into the lake.

“What’s going on? Is it an earthquake?” Someone pointed at the sky and exclaimed, “What’s that?”

Everyone in the surroundings gaze over. A straight streak of scarlet light pierced through the air and vanished into the surface of the lake. Some people said it was a meteor, but they were immediately rebuked. Were there any meteors that traveled with such a trajectory?

As they discussed, a great boom rang out from the distance. Because it was overly far away, the boom was not particularly startling.

Afterwards, everyone saw it. Wherever the scarlet light passed by, the clouds parted, vaguely forming a circular hole. A thin, white line rose up on the water, rapidly growing in size. A terrifying wave that no one had ever seen before rushed over.

Everyone cried out in alarm and scattered like birds and beasts.

In the centre of Calm Wave lake, the water over a hundred meters deep had been forcefully parted, forming a huge pit in the water.

At the very bottom of the pit, Li Qingshan was upside down, having punched Sha Bie on his shell. The turtle shell flashed with light and produced totemic patterns filled with a primitive, simple, and indestructible will.

This was the innate ability that Sha Bie took the greatest pride in. He was not a divine beast like the spirit turtle, but the turtle shell was still a lifebound item of his, something he had developed over a thousand years. He did not hold back with his spiritual qi, pushing his innate ability to the limit.

The only way to kill him was to burst through the turtle shell, but unless he ran out of daemon qi, his shell could not be destroyed. Right now, he had the Water God Seal in his body, so his daemon qi was virtually endless. He was basically undefeatable.

That was unless a Daemon King attacked him and used overwhelming strength to smash apart his shell, but how could a mere Daemon General achieve that?

Crack!

The sound of something breaking rang out, and his back ached. Sha Bie’s eyes bulged out. “Impossible!”

Under Li Qingshan’s punch, the totemic patterns only remained for a split second before twisting and shattering. The indestructible turtle shell caved in and shattered like paper.

When he reached the fifth layer of the ox demon, he could rival a Corpse King in strength. Now that he had become a Daemon Commander and stood over a hundred and twenty meters tall, just how much strength did he possess? Amplified by the terrifying speed when he descended from above, what might could he unleash? All of this combined was not something a Daemon Commander could contend with!

And, what if Li Qingshan’s most powerful method of attack was added into the equation too? His fist was pitch-black, wrapped in the power of the Tremors of the Ox Demon. Even the Corpse King had once suffered against this attack, and it had become even more lethal now.

The so-called powerful defence and being in an undefeatable state was no different from a pretence to Li Qingshan.

He directly pierced Sha Bie’s colossal body. The power of tremors tore apart his flesh, shattering his last bit of fighting will.

The mountainous islands on Calm Wave lake obstructed the tsunami-like wave. When it reached the shore, it had already subsided by a lot, but it was still several meters tall. It slammed against the banks.
