Legend of the Great Sage

Chapter 1309: Yang Soul

Boom!

As soon as Su Mirao left, the entire region collapsed. The violent energy that had been building up all this time surged out madly.

A wave of air swept away the wind and snow, as well as all the clouds. The blue sky became perfectly clear. The sun shone dazzlingly.

Soon afterwards, the billions of tonnes of upheaving earth shot off in all directions, ripping apart the mountainous forests. Yellow sand filled the air, obscuring the surroundings.

From a pit several hundred metres deep, an earthen-yellow mushroom cloud rushed into the sky, reaching the depths. The entire world seemed to be trembling.

A bolt of lightning shot out of the pit, turning into the Lightning Shadow Panther King. When the zone collapsed, the firm suppression on her slackened slightly, allowing her to escape after much difficulty. No thoughts of revenge crossed her mind. She glanced back at the battlefield with lingering fear. Was this still the nine provinces that she was familiar with?

Then she looked to the east. The kunpeng spread its colossal wings, having reached the horizon already, also moving with unimaginable speed. She did not dare to linger there any longer, turning into a bolt of lightning in pursuit.

With a swing of the Blood Sea Banner, several Daemon Kings rolled out from inside. The daemons scattered in the surroundings, with most of them flying towards the east.

It took everything in the great cultivators that Si Long had brought with him to resist the bewitchment, so they were in no shape to bother with anything else. Under this blast, basically all of them became heavily injured.

The great cultivators with weaker willpower that attacked Xiao An all became dazed, like they had just woken up from a dream after Su Mirao’s departure. Xiao An grasped this opportunity, and they all perished under her swords.

Li Qingshan thought, This is all thanks to Gu Yanying! At least one of the problems has been eliminated for now! Otherwise, if the Lightning Shadow Panther King blew up her daemon core, even he could not emerge unscathed. She was still a great Daemon King who had achieved renown five thousand years ago after all.

Now, he only had a single enemy left. Finally, it was time to fight back.

“Rāhu Ming, what are you still waiting for!?”

Si Long sensed something and raised his golden dragon head, gazing at the mountain in the distance. He saw Rāhu Xiaoming wielding his slingshot, his long hair dancing like fire as his handsome face seemed particularly vicious, like the embodiment of a demon god.

“Rāhu? Don’t tell me!”

Suddenly, he opened his mouth. Golden light gathered rapidly, spraying towards Rāhu Xiaoming.

Darkness that could envelope everything rushed out of Rāhu Xiaoming’s eyes. The surroundings dimmed as if a black curtain had been pulled over the sky, obscuring all of Si Long’s senses, even shrouding his connection with the heavenly secrets. He launched a strike that surpassed thte limits of this world.

In an instant, the golden light vanished, and the dragon head was obliterated.

“Nice!”

Li Qingshan’s body eased up. The spirit turtle shone with colourful light as he transformed into his body of the demonic and divine. He grabbed the golden dragon viciously with his huge hand that loomed like a dark cloud.

Xiao An descended from above, wielding the Buddha Slaying sword in a reverse grip with both hands. The sword was coated in buddhist light as she thrusted it viciously towards the golden dragon’s back. The sword shattered the golden scales and plunged into the dragon’s body.

Li Qingshan shuddered inside, Have we won?

In the battles of the past, Xiao An’s Buddha Slaying sword had been a primary weapon that determined the outcome and slew the enemy. No matter who they faced, if they suffered a strike from her sword, they were incapacitated even if they managed to survive somehow.

Sure enough, the headless golden dragon shrank rapidly, turning back into a jade seal. The corners were a little damaged, and the golden dragon coiled on there was missing scales and claws, as well as its head.

Suddenly, a hand picked up the jade seal.

……

In the bright-blue sky, the kunpeng soared towards the East sea with all the atmospheric winds within the surrounding several thousand kilometres.

“Relax. You don’t have to hold me so firmly. I’m not going to go back again.” Su Mirao smiled. “Do you think he can win without me around?”

“It’ll increase his odds at the very least!”

Gu Yanying did not dare to be careless even in the slightest bit. The person beside her was even more dangerous than facing Si Long. With her current speed, Si Long would struggle to harm her, but the influence of bewitchment was everywhere.

“You’re wrong. I am his only chance at surviving. If it wasn’t for me, he might have died in battle already. Actually, I’ve been helping him the entire time, but he doesn’t appreciate it unfortunately, insisting on taking this path to his death.” Su Mirao shook her head in some pity.

“Really?” Gu Yanying neither agreed nor disagreed.

“You don’t believe me? That would be no wonder. Who can help the fact that your cultivation is insufficient? Even when you’ve obtained the Heaven-stirring Great Sage’s legacy, you haven’t converted it entirely into your own power. You’ve never witnessed the power of a Human Sovereign before either.”

“The Heaven-stirring Great Sage!”

As a result, Gu Yanying recalled the fact that she probably found out about the kunpeng’s feather a long time ago with her cultivation. If she had taken action, why would it have ended up in the Featherfolk King Bai Chen’s hands?

She asked, “Why didn’t you take it? Even if you don’t need it, there are several avians in your Jade palace!”

“Because I don’t want them to die for nothing.” Su Mirao sighed rather helplessly.

“In other words, Mirao really is as gentle and kind as I thought she was! Everything she does is out of kindness!”

“Heh, you don’t need to mock me like that. I’m bound by the Blood Oath of the Nether River, so I have no choice but to help Li Qingshan.”

“To help him become your slave?”

“Who can help the fact that I’m just this charming? He couldn’t control himself. How can you blame me? However, have you ever considered that I only needed to pull him under the Myriad Flower Umbrella of Primordial Chaos when we were getting married, and he would never be able to escape me? I was the one who made Si Long go insane with cultivation deviation, preventing him from unleashing his full strength, which is why he was forced to engage Li Qingshan in close combat in the most foolish way possible.”

“Really. I’m actually very reluctant for Li Qingshan to die here, but since this is the path he’s chosen, you can’t blame me!”

……

“So it’s the Rāhu clan. Legend has it that one of the children of a god in the Asura realm passed away. He was known to be a supreme genius only second to Rāhula since the birth of the Asura realm, a chosen son of fate that could reunite the asura. Don’t tell me that’s you? No wonder you can shatter my Jade Seal of the True Dragon.”

“This is the only lifebound arcane treasure I’ve brought from the Human realm to the nine provinces. It has gathered the dragon qi of the nine provinces, forged from the essence metal of the five elements from the Human realm, making it almost indestructible, yet you almost destroyed it in a single strike. How impressive!”

The owner of the hand was the Human Sovereign, Si Long. His dragon robes were spotless as he fiddled around with the damaged Jade Seal of the True Dragon, explaining its origins slowly. He did not seem disheartened at all. Instead, there was even a smile on his face.

“Enough nonsense!”

Li Qingshan threw a punch. The ground cracked and shook uncontrollably.

However, with a flash of golden light, Si Long vanished. His voice rang out from the sky again.

“What a dangerous sword. You really are the successor of white bone. Fortunately, I’m not a part of buddhism, or you almost would have destroyed this lifebound arcane treasure.”

Si Long stared at Xiao An. Yang Souls were unlike bodies of flesh. They were capable of so much more. Right before the Buddha Slaying sword had plunged into the golden dragon, he had already condensed his Yang Soul again, so he was completely unscathed. His Yang Soul would only be injured if his lifebound arcane treasure was directly destroyed, but that was completely impossible.

This was also a primary reason why he had not brought his body with him.

Li Qingshan gazed at Si Long. His figure basically overlapped with the sun, standing high above, well beyond arm’s reach like a god.

This was the Yang Soul from the path of human cultivation, surpassing the limits of the body, an existence that could rival Daemon Sovereigns.
