Legend of the Great Sage Chapter 1597

Chapter 1597 - The Heavenly Dragon of Dao

If it had been a different Demon God, perhaps they would have feared Li Qingshan’s power and tried to come up with ways to kill him then and there.

However, Qiongqi would never do that, as he was a hunter of novelty through and through. He loathed all common customs and rules. What good and bad? What nobility and lowliness? If it were not for the fact that that was the view of the mediocre among all the living creatures, then it was just the lies and hypocrisy of divine immortals and buddhas.

That was why he had set the Blood Oath of the Nether River with Li Qingshan, even when it was completely unnecessary for him to take any risks as a god.

Yet right now, something as bizarre as a Daemon God beating up a true god was unfolding right before his eyes, so how could he not laugh in joy? Even if he would be next… perhaps that would be quite a fascinating thing too! Hahahaha!

In the endless pool of lightning in the air, the thirty-six Lords of Thunder were anxious, constantly striking their golden drums and raising their hammers and chisels. Thousands of bolts of lightning rained down, slamming heavily against Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan’s skin had already been charred with his scarlet hair reduced to ashes, but he completely ignored it. Only his scarlet eyes continued to glow hypnotically, fixed on the Thunder Lord General of the Nine Heavens as he beat him up viciously.

Of course, his opponent was still a true god after all. Even under the restraints of the laws of the Demon domain, Li Qingshan would struggle to deal any lethal damage.

However, the Thunder Lord General of the Nine Heavens felt deep pain. “You’ve gone too far!”

With a great bellow, he suddenly erupted with resplendent sparks. His body rapidly expanded.

In the blink of an eye, he turned into a colossal god of thunder, descending from above with a rumble.

His tremendous divine might filled the world. His body was like a mountain, standing over three thousand metres tall, and he continued to grow larger. He was wreathed in scorching lightning as his eyes shone. His eye whites were completely gone, giving off an inhuman sense of divinity. His voice rumbled like the thunder.

“Li Qingshan, I didn’t want to do this personally, but you’ve asked for it!”

Li Qingshan was completely charred black, and the ground beneath his feet melted under the violent lightning, turning into a surging sea of lava. The waves of heat twisted the air, and the thunder drowned out all other sounds.

However, as he stood within the mixing fire and lightning, his smile remained the same as before, facing the colossal god of lightning with his head held high. He suddenly shook his body, and his charred skin cracked and peeled off, turning into ash within the heat waves and sparks.

His newly-grown skin was completely unscathed. It was just wrapped in complicated and criss-crossing black runes, covering his perfect body of the demonic and divine, filled with violent power.

He stood in the sea of fire as his hair that reached past his waist danced like fire. He was like a phoenix that had just been reborn, as well as an undying king of demons.

The thirty-six Lords of Thunder were alarmed. Under the constant attacks of their Formation of the Heavenly Spirits, they could even flatten a mountain, yet it actually seemed like they had failed to injure him at all. Even his aura did not weaken, instead becoming even more rowdy and ruthless.

In reality, Li Qingshan wanted to thank them instead. The power brought by the Black Sun Demon Heart was simply too great, basically trying to shove the entire Demon domain into his body. Fortunately, he had made sufficient progress with the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine, externalising the small world in his body, which let him avoid the fate of rupturing and exploding on the spot.

Despite that, the power was still too violent to control. The negative energies it contained like fury, hatred, and pain constantly ate away at his mind, trying to turn him into a tool for revenge against the gods and buddhas in the heavens, a monster of hatred.

Li Qingshan obviously refused to accept that. This was the fate he had chosen, but he would never let anything control him.

On one side was his stubborn and proud willpower and on the other side was the hatred of millions of years from the living creatures of the Demon domain. His internal conflict did not pacify because he had decided to devour the Black Sun Demon Heart, instead burning away even more uneasily.

With each passing moment, he experienced billions of thoughts—life and death, hatred and love, the divine and the demonic, ruthlessness and benevolence, revenge and forgiveness… from the distant past until the eternal future.

Destroying the defences of Qingqi mountain with that roar was only venting slightly, alleviating this sense of uneasiness somewhat. Only when the true god descended and the tribulation lightning rained down did he get a sigh of relief.

Tribulation lightning could disperse powers and render all techniques and arcane treasures useless. It was the nightmare of the people who faced tribulations, but it was perfect for him. It greatly weakened this violent power, making it easier to control, while the Thunder Lord General of the Nine Heavens served as a true-god-level sitting duck, which allowed him to vent his hatred and anger.

The world served as a forge, with fortune as its blacksmith. Yin and yang served as the coals, with fortune as the bronze.

The pain and threats that struck fear into the weak was the best tempering and assistance to him, which was why he did not fear the Thunder Lord General of the Nine Heavens’ tremendous divine might, instead mocking him. “Great god, have you finally decided to come down yourself? Are you prepared to die here?”

The Thunder Lord General of the Nine Heavens boomed, “Watch your head!”

Originally, he was only presiding and commanding the battle, remaining beyond the lightning with his grasp over the laws of lightning, without personally involving himself. After a painful beating from Li Qingshan, he had truly been infuriated, entering the battlefield and wanting a face-to-face battle to the death with Li Qingshan.

The tribulation clouds hung low, right above the colossal god of lightning’s head. They extended and expanded furiously with his descent, enveloping the demonic land in the blink of an eye, but all of the lightning was concentrated in a small region.

This was no longer a pool of lightning, but a sea of lightning. A dragon’s roar rang out from the depths.

Suddenly, a dragon’s head poked out from between the clouds, except its tail swayed about hundreds of kilometres away. It was entirely composed of scorching lightning, extending for who knew how many thousand kilometres.

Li Qingshan became grim as well. Just the vast dragon’s cry left him feeling numb all over, unable to muster his strength. Even the laws of the Demon domain were suppressed viciously.

Without any doubt, the dragon of lightning was enough to destroy him. Even a single strike was enough to annihilate his soul and bring forth doom.

“This is… the Heavenly Dragon of Dao!”

From the moment the dragon’s cry rang out, Qiongqi completely erased all of his aura, just in case he became its target, except his smile became even more delighted.

Armaments of tribulation lightning were nowhere close to the final form of the heavenly tribulations. The Lords of Thunder obviously were not either.

It was said that when gods attempted to Merge the Void with the Dao and undergo the eighth heavenly tribulation, the “Heavenly Dragon of Dao” would descend to test whether a god was worthy of becoming a representative of the Dao.

During this process, whether they were a god or a True Immortal, all of the laws they controlled would be suppressed.

This was the final and most lethal test. Even True Immortals and gods did not dare to take this step lightly.

If they succeeded, then they would become a king among gods, a sage among daemons, but if they failed, they would be exterminated. All signs of existence would be erased. Things like eternal life and endless divine might would all be reduced to a fantasy.

With the Heavenly Dragon of Dao’s appearance, the thirty-six Lords of Thunder all displayed pain, struggling to control such violent lightning anymore. Just the might of the dragon was unbearable to them.

The tribulation rapidly evolved with the Thunder Lord General of the Nine Heavens’ arrival. If this continued, even they would become its target and be annihilated here, but they felt no dissatisfaction at all. When the lord was humiliated, the subjects died. The Thunder Lord General of the Nine Heavens had experienced such a great insult, so they had to avenge him.

The Thunder Lord General of the Nine Heavens waved his hand. “Back down! Sure enough, this Yinghuo daemon star is anything but an easy opponent. This is not something you can interfere with anymore!”

“Yes, sir!” the thirty-six Lords of Thunder answered together and scattered as lightning. They took one final glance at Li Qingshan. Their fury had already turned to fright. A terrifying thought even lingered in their minds. Was the general going to die here?

Li Qingshan instead developed some respect for him, as the target that the Heavenly Dragon of Dao was fixated on was not him, but the Thunder Lord General of the Nine Heavens.

The Heavenly Dragon of Dao had always been an existence to slay gods and immortals, which was why it completely disregarded whether they were gods or not. Even if a god of the thunder department dared to interfere with the order of the heavenly tribulation, they would face punishment.

If he could not annihilate Li Qingshan and end this heavenly tribulation in time, then the one destroyed by the Heavenly Dragon of Dao would be him.

With a cry, the world shook and the Heavenly Dragon of Dao descended. Its target was the Thunder Lord General of the Nine Heavens.

The Thunder Lord General of the Nine Heavens raised his thunder swordbreaker into the air, drawing the Heavenly Dragon of Dao into his body and completely overwhelming the laws of the Demon domain that Li Qingshan controlled instantly. His eyes, nose, mouth, and ears shone with resplendent light.

“Today, if I can’t kill you here, I will die myself!”

“Alright, then let me help you out!”

The sea of lava beneath Li Qingshan erupted violently!

The lightning swordbreaker swung down as the fist of fire rose up, colliding and exploding!
