However, Xiao An understood that he was referring to her towards the end. He was probably afraid she would embark on the same path as the White Bone Bodhisattva. However, she never cared about how the living creatures were, let alone sacrificing herself for them. She only cared about one person, and she did not mind sacrificing herself for him.
However, the light of the buddha that fell down from the land of bliss made her feel strangely nostalgic. Was this all forms of buddhism paying homage to the buddha? The boundless buddhism and their immeasurable powers and methods were like the rivers flowing into the ocean. They were all from the buddha.
The Upraised Light abbot’s soul rose up slowly in the light, returning to the land of bliss and gradually vanishing.
At that instant, the light of the buddha bloomed, illuminating the land. It was vaguely possible to make out a great buddha seated on the top of the auspicious clouds with a faint smile and a hazy expression.
The Demon Sovereigns howled in pain. Within the sizzling sounds, white smoke rose up from their bodies like they were being melted by acid.
The formation core wavered, and Taowu’s figure wavered as a result. His body melted like the snow under the scorching sun.
However, the lone eye remained fixed on the buddha in the sky. He roared out at the sky, “Tathāgata, if you really have benevolence, why do you not save the living creatures of the Demon domain?”
Li Qingshan’s eyes lit up. He had held on arduously exactly for an opportunity like this. He twisted his neck without any hesitation and bit down on Taowu’s wrist.
With a crack, he bit it to pieces.
The branching wood within his body was immediately reduced to dust.
Endless power surged up from the earth, allowing his shattered body to recover rapidly.
The blood-red swirl remained in the sky. As long as the battle spirit remained, the asura did not die. None of his patience had gone to waste.
Li Qingshan gritted his teeth and rushed towards the Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous.
Once again, advance!
The light of the buddha vanished quickly, and the sky turned blue again.
Under the scorching sun, on the vast earth, a figure ran along furiously. His figure was sturdy like a mountain, his scarlet hair danced like fire, and he breathed like an ox. He was like the legendary Kuafu chasing after the sun.
Taowu lowered his head and gazed at Li Qingshan as if he remembered something. His gaze almost became pitiful. “For what?”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless black logs erupted from the earth, piercing Li Qingshan’s feet like bushes of sharp grass.
He immediately lost his balance and fell on the ground, falling into countless bushes, leaving him bloodied. However, he continued to advance, even if he had to crawl along the ground.
Taowu was about to make his way over when he suddenly looked down again. As it turned out, before he had realised it, crawling vines had grown beneath him, entangling his feet firmly.
A slender figure stood on the walls of Black Cloud city. Ruan Yaozhu held a bamboo segmented staff and powered the Heavenly Tome of Nature, chanting away. She unleashed all of the powers she had in her to silently give all of her blessing to the miserable figure.
She pursed her lips and thought of the kiss from earlier. That was a sensation she had never experienced before. Her heart surged, and she struggled to compose herself, such that her emotions even drowned out her instinctive fear for a god.
“Yaozhu, you should stay here!”
“No.” Hmph, you just kissed me, and you’re not going to call me senior sister anymore? Even making my decision for me.
“If you enter the battlefield, I’ll have to split my focus to protect you. I won’t be able to win even if I could.”
His words were basically infuriating. It was as if she was a useless piece of trash. However, she believed it, as he would definitely protect her, even at the cost of his own life.
She bit her lip and smiled. “Qingshan, who’s protecting who now?”
Boom! A giant, black log tore through the air, piercing her body.
“Yaozhu!” the nine-colour deer cried out.
“Looks like Human Sovereigns aren’t all trash!” Taowu lifted his feet, tearing apart the wilted vines. He arrived behind Li Qingshan with just a step. The pity in his eyes grew heavier, but he struck even more viciously, out to kill.
The abyss-like darkness loomed over. Li Qingshan did not look back.
In the next moment, fire illuminated the darkness. A man and a horse shot over through the air like they were unstoppable, raging with flames.
Li Liehuo was still alive!
He was positioned inside the Scorching Fire Army God, and Huo Hua had endured a lot of the damage for him, so “Taowu’s” strike from before was not lethal. Li Liehuo did not receive the same kind of blessing from the Asura realm as Li Qingshan, but even if he was not a son of the heavens, he was a godson of the heavens. His wounds also recovered rapidly.
However, the situation on the battlefield developed far too quickly. By the time he had roughly recovered, Taowu’s consciousness had descended, overwhelming the entire battlefield.

Huo Hua tried to dissuade him. “Liehuo, don’t go anymore. You’ve already done all that you can!”
“No, I haven’t!”
Li Liehuo gazed at Li Qingshan who put up a desperate, final struggle in Taowu’s hand. He felt his blood surge. The fire in his heart had never scorched like that before, like a volcano that was about to erupt.
He had always thought he had been doing best. As it turned out, he had not. Flames were only ever afraid about whether they could burn thoroughly or not. Why would they fear burning out?
“You’ll die.”
“I know, so…”
“Shut up and get on!”
Li Liehuo mounted the horse and gathered the army qi, condensing the army god again.
With a man like fire and a horse like a dragon, they charged, to fight a god!
Taowu did not even glance at the incoming spear of fire. With just a swivel, he found Li Liehuo within the thick army qi. A streak of dark light, as thin as a hair, shot out from his eye, piercing his forehead. The flames in his eyes immediately cooled and dimmed. He fell from his horse.
The Scorching Fire Army God collapsed dramatically. Flames filled the air as heat waves rolled out like the eruption of ten volcanoes. The earth turned to lava.
In the next moment, Taowu emerged from the sea of flames, unscathed.
Xiao An stood in his way. Her white bones turned back to great beauty with a red mole on her forehead. The Trisepultural Robes drifted through the air. The light of the buddha from earlier had not injured her at all. Instead, it seemed like she had comprehended something.
The Samādhi Flames of White Bone gathered once more, but it was no longer a vicious bone claw. Instead, it was a hand with slender fingers. The pale-white and smooth hand formed a lotus seal, attacking Taowu.
“Truly a successor of the White Bone Bodhisattva to possess such great talent for comprehension.” Taowu glanced at her before gazing at the figure that continued to struggle forwards. “But is he worth sacrificing your life? As long as I want to, I can immediately destroy you completely.”
Bang!
He did not block or dodge, withstanding the strike with his chest. It left behind a deep imprint.
The pale-white hand dispersed, but it also managed to shake him, forcing him to take half a step back. That was the first time he had retreated since he descended.
However, he did not withstand that blow for nothing. He extended his hand as he retreated, reaching towards Li Qingshan to end his life!
Li Qingshan had basically crawled over to the Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous. A towering stone pillar blocked his path. He felt a chill run down his spine. Pain and fear spread rapidly, eating away at his life.
He let out a furious roar and extended his arms without any regard, hugging the stone pillar with his life.
Ying Zhe recovered from the pain of being illuminated by the light of the buddha. Impossible! The totem poles are the foundations of the Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous, condensed and reconstructed from earth through great powers. Even if all of the direct disciples attacked it at the same time, they can forget about destroying it in a short amount of time.
Li Qingshan suddenly pushed down with his feet, letting out a roar from the depths of the earth.
Rumble! The stone pillar shook violently. The earth surged. With a boom, he uprooted the pillar from the ground!
Ying Zhe was dumbfounded, and his heart jittered. Is this really just a Human Sovereign? His strength basically rivals the supernatural beings of the primordial times. Hold on… a being of great strength… don’t tell me!
The formation core twisted, collapsing as rings of demonic light that swept through the battlefield.
The Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous had fallen!
Li Qingshan lifted up the stone pillar and turned around, swinging it towards Taowu’s head.
