Legend of the Great Sage Chapter 1390

Chapter 1390: The Peng Flies

Chapter 1390: The Peng Flies

A black dragon tossed and turned within the sea of lightning, draped in electricity. He was so blinding that it was impossible to stare at him directly.

How can the fourth heavenly tribulation possess such power?

The golden-eyed black dragon felt startled. Under his efforts, the tribulation lightning became even more violent and turbulent. From time to time, a bolt or two would strike against his scales, and it actually caused a bit of pain. As a result, he gradually retreated from the centre of the lightning.

Hmph, ignorant lowly being, actually undergoing the heavenly tribulation right in front of me. They’re asking to die. It’s just a pity that they’ll definitely be reduced to ash in the tribulation lightning. I won’t be able to learn exactly what happened down there.

Xiao An draped the Trisepultural Robes over herself, which fluttered violently in the lightning, gradually becoming tattered. She brought her palms together and flicked through the Skull Prayer Beads, chanting away. Her skin and flesh were ripped away by the lightning, revealing pale-white bones.

Gu Yanying unfurled her wings and wrapped them around herself, like a bird in winter, silently enduring the harsh cold.

Rāhu Xiaoming remained the most composed, holding his chest up high and allowing the lightning to strike him. With his undying body as an asura and the bloodline of the Rāhu clan, he faced the surging lightning with his head held high, laughing. “How satisfying!”

None of them were regular Daemon Kings or Soul Nascence cultivators. Their cultivations were so consolidated and they were so powerful that they did not fear the lightning strikes at all.

Suddenly, a sword of lightning condensed in the air, slashing towards the weakest of the three, Gu Yanying, with a chain of electricity.

Gu Yanying shivered inside. She could sense that the power behind the sword of lightning surpassed a thousand bolts of tribulation lightning, but she had never heard of something like this when facing the fourth heavenly tribulation. Sure enough, facing the heavenly tribulation with these two monsters was particularly entertaining.

Heavenly tribulations were paramount laws. After being locked onto by the will of the heavens, it was impossible to dodge. All she could do was prepare to take it on forcefully.

There was a white flash. Xiao An appeared in front of her, gripping the Buddha Slaying sword firmly with her bony hands and receiving the sword of lightning.

Boom!

The sword of lightning was knocked back, and the Trisepultural Robes were almost reduced to ash. Xiao An took a step back and dropped down on one knee. The Buddha Slaying sword was covered in cracks as her bones trembled away. Even the Samādhi Flames of White Bone in her eye sockets had dimmed drastically.

“Why?” Gu Yanying was surprised. She never expected Xiao An to block the strike for her.

Xiao An said, “Conserve your strength.”

Gu Yanying nodded sternly. They were not just facing the lightning tribulation, but the leering true dragon outside too. When they had emerged from the heavenly tribulation, they would make a big advance with their cultivations, but that would also be when they were most feeble. They definitely could not become entangled with the dragon.

Rāhu Xiaoming became slightly sterner too. “Armaments of tribulation lightning! That’s quite a lot of respect for us!”

Armaments of tribulation lightning often only appeared during the sixth heavenly tribulation, specially to stop mortals from becoming immortals. They condensed a single armament from thousands of bolts of tribulation lightning to cut down all that defied the heavens. They were only facing the fourth heavenly tribulation right now, yet it actually appeared. Even if it was only one, it was far too terrifying.

After Xiao An blocked it, the sword of lightning only dimmed slightly. It returned to the surging sea of lightning and immediately recovered its original resplendence, even glowing brighter than before.

Rāhu Xiaoming said, “Leave it to me!”

Xiao An said, “You conserve your strength too.”

Rāhu Xiaoming immediately understood her intentions. He smiled. “You truly are a successor of white bone, to be able to remain so calm at a time like this. You’re basically completely immune to emotions! Though, can you stop it?”

“If I can’t stop it, then I die.”

The Soul Stirring Bell rang out urgently. The sound waves seemed to materialise, dispersing the whistling lightning. She raised her sword and received the sword of tribulation lightning again.

Boom!

Thousands of bolts of lightning shot out from the mountain, reflecting in a pair of golden eyes. A smear of surprise flashed past.

Can she actually survive the heavenly tribulation? But that would be for the best. It’ll be perfect for capturing her and interrogating her. If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have intensified the heavenly tribulation. Sigh, I’ve slept for far too long this time. I haven’t woken up completely. My head is still a little sluggish.

Lightning shot out again and again as thunder rumbled.

Before they knew it, the lightning gradually dimmed; the thunder gradually became muffled, but it persisted.

I didn’t think she’d actually survive it!

The golden-eyed black dragon glided over, gazing at the Dragon’s Pool dwelling below.

“Now!”

Suddenly, a strange bird’s cry rose up from the mountain, like a hawk’s cry, yet also like a phoenix’s cry. It filled the air and echoed through the clouds.

The great peng spread its dark-azure wings like clouds that draped down from the sky. With a great flap, she took off!

Kunpeng!

The golden-eyed black dragon was startled. If true dragons were to possess a natural predator, then that would be kunpengs.

When kuns wandered the ocean, they fed off dragons. Once they transformed into pengs, they would capture them like how hawks captured snakes. Once they caught the attention of a kunpeng, then it would almost be certain death. As a result, the Dragon clan had an unwritten rule. Whenever they encountered any young kunpengs, they would always hunt it down and kill it.

However, it was exactly this rule that brought the Dragon clan a terrifying nightmare.

A certain kunpeng reached the apex of daemons, becoming a Great Sage. He was known as “Heaven-stirring”. He specially wandered through the oceans and hunted down true dragons, continuing until all of them dove deep into the trenches. Not a single one dared to wander the oceans and soar in the skies anymore. Only then did he stop. He left behind a message. “For each kunpeng slain by dragons, I will kill five hundred.”

Even the Dragon clan that was very good at reproducing, possessing a great number of members, sustained tremendous losses. He had never seen it with his own eyes, but it was rumoured that the Heaven-stirring Great Sage’s feathers were that dark-azure colour.

He could not help but hesitate at this sight, but he soon remembered that the Heaven-stirring Great Sage’s days of savagery were past him. She might have been his successor, so that was even less reason to spare her.

“You want to leave!?”

With a great bellow, the dragon shot through the air, charging straight after the kunpeng.

Xiao An sat on the back of the kunpeng. The Trisepultural Robes were in tatters, revealing her similarly-damaged white bones. However, the white bones flowed with an unprecedented lustre. The Samādhi Flames of White Bone in her eye sockets were feeble, but they became even more consolidated than before. A huge dragon’s head filled her eyes.

“My turn.”

Rāhu Xiaoming took a step forward and stared at the golden-eyed black dragon with his blood-red eyes.

If the kunpeng wanted to fly higher, there had to be someone to provide cover and stop the golden-eyed black dragon. Otherwise, she would run out of energy before long.

He was the best choice for this, which was why Xiao An had made him conserve his strength. Even though this was the best decision, it was a cruel and heartless one too. This was almost certain death. Even as a son of an asura god, he stood absolutely no chance at victory when he faced a Daemon Sovereign true dragon in his current state.

He had no complaints about this. She had almost been smashed to pieces in order to stop the sword of tribulation lightning. What truly made him feel discontent was hiding behind a woman. Now that it was finally time for him to take action, he could not help but become quite eager. As for the consequences, that needed no further consideration. It was just like what she had said, “If I can’t stop it, I die.”

It was just that simple.

“If I die, get him to butcher this damned worm for me.”

“Alright.”

Rāhu Xiaoming leapt into the fierce winds, throwing himself at the golden-eyed black dragon.

“Lowly being, you’re asking to die!”

The golden-eyed black dragon unleashed his dragon breath. The coldness was bone-chilling, freezing up the air. Rāhu Xiaoming was frozen stiff mid-air. In the golden-eyed black dragon’s eyes, he was already a dead man, so he did not even spare a second glance at him, directly running into him.

“Who did you say… is a lowly being!?”

The surroundings darkened as Rāhu Xiaoming jolted free from the ice. A terrifying, black giant appeared in the endless darkness, punching the dragon’s head.

The golden-eyed black dragon was taken off-guard and he lost his momentum, rolling a few times in the air before stopping. He stared at Rāhu Xiaoming in disbelief.
