Legend of the Great Saint Chapter 1312 - Descent From Above

Chapter 1312 - Descent From Above

When Si Long fended off Li Qingshan’s attack, he did two other things at the same time. He paid attention to Rāhu Xiaoming and Xiao An. If they took the risk to launch a sudden attack, he was confident enough to kill them here. No matter how powerful their bloodline and legacy was, they were still at the third heavenly tribulation at the end of the day.
But to his disappointment, the two of them remained a safe distance away, giving him no opportunity to attack them.
Rāhu Xiaoming had spent countless years waging war in the Asura realm. His grasp over the situation was unmatched. He had only just undergone the third heavenly tribulation and had not reached the peak, so the power he possessed was limited after all. At the same time, he faced the restraints from the intangible will of the heavens, so he had to ensure that every single shot he made played a decisive role. He could not attack without good reason.
Xiao An’s intelligence was matched by very few, and she possessed a similar judgement. Her Buddha Slaying sword was for dealing sure-killing strikes. At the same time, she used the other white bone treasures to protect herself, just in case Si Long launched a sudden attack. If they wanted to claim victory in this battle, it was still far too early for her to strike.
“Heh, they’re completely without openings! Sure enough, you’re the one I have to kill first, Li Qingshan!” Si Long sneered. He waved his hand and ordered them. “What are you waiting for, fellows?”
The officials looked at each other. When Li Qingshan unleashed the Force Field of the Earth earlier, they had been affected too. They felt like all of their bones were about to snap under their own weight, and they still ached even now. If they directly faced Li Qingshan, they would probably just die for nothing.
“Don’t worry. The formation is extremely sturdy. You can unleash your techniques with ease, without the need to directly face the enemy. If Li Qingshan manages to breach the formation, then he’ll be like a tiger in a flock of sheep. It will be an immediate annihilation!”
Si Long was slightly displeased. His voice hid a slightly threatening tone.
“Yes, sir!”
The officials dared not defy him. They all unleashed their techniques and powered their arcane treasures, planning to deal a painful blow to Li Qingshan, except it felt like teasing an enraged tiger through a cage woven with paper. They were all fearful.
“Hmm? Li Qingshan is gone.”
By now, the Sovereign Dragon King had already arrived at a great altitude, yet they all lost track of Li Qingshan.
The Guardian Hawk God narrowed his eyes. “Above!”
Having failed with his attack, Li Qingshan immediately let go and rose up into the atmospheric winds, continuing to climb higher. He simply allowed the atmospheric winds to whistle away, but they could not harm him at all. At his cultivation, neither the magnetic fields nor the atmospheric winds could stop his tracks.
Si Long stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky. “How will you turn this around?”
The atmospheric winds suddenly became much more peaceful. He passed through the shining glow of the sun. The stars twinkled in the darkness of outer space.
Li Qingshan stared straight at the sun. It was not a great ball of fire that actually existed in his past life but an illusion. Abruptly, he felt like this entire world was a mystery!
When he looked back, he took in the entirety of the nine provinces in a single glance.
The jade-green Mist province, the snowy-white Frost province, the yellow sands of the Scarlet province, the cloud seas of the Cloud province…
The turbulent waves from the four seas clustered around the continent of the nine provinces. This is the world I’ve been fighting the entire time!
The enormous Sovereign Dragon King had turned into a golden mayfly, approaching the centre of the Dragon province slowly. To the east, a “small”, dark-azure bird flew over.
Li Qingshan sucked in a deep breath. His daemon qi began to bubble and burn. He pushed the small world in his body to the limit. Earth, fire, wind, water, and space; the ox, tiger, turtle, phoenix, and ape; all of them merged together to form one entity, breaking free from the restraints of the laws of the world and drawing in all of the invisible power, making him shine with dazzling light.
At this exact moment, as long as they raised their heads on the nine provinces, everyone and everything could see a dazzling star, contending against the sun!
The kunpeng soared over the land. Gu Yanying smiled and accelerated even more.
Su Mirao looked at the sky and suddenly became rather eager to see his victory. His posture of looking down on everything truly did give off a wondrous charm.
Rāhu Xiaoming smiled. “I see!”
The star descended from above!

Li Qingshan shut his eyes and spread his arms, assuming a posture of freefall, diving into the fierce atmospheric winds again.
The wings of wind on his back constantly spread out, reaching thirty, three hundred, three thousand metres across as if he wanted to weave all the atmospheric winds into his wings.
The Force Field of the Earth was unleashed at full power, making himself weigh thousands of tonnes more. Even with his sturdy body, he felt like he was about to be crushed.
He plummeted faster and faster, rubbing against the air violently and leaving behind a long tail of flames, like a meteor falling from the sky.
The earth filled his face; the blue seas vanished. The Cloud, Mist, Frost, and Lightning provinces rapidly receded into the distance until only the Dragon province remained in the end. The golden mayfly turned into a golden fish.
Suddenly, Li Qingshan snapped open his eyes, locking onto the Sovereign Dragon King. The sound that resembled thunder grew louder and louder, booming through the world in the blink of an eye. It shook up space like the howls of supernatural beings.
“Y- your majesty! He’s too fast! The Sovereign Dragon King can’t dodge this attack!”
A hint of panic appeared on minister Lu’s stiff face. He was not born like that. Instead, he had cast a technique unique to the school of Mohism on himself—the Heart of Steel—to prevent any influence from his emotions, but at this moment, the technique almost collapsed.
“Then don’t dodge. Fire away!” Si Long said furiously.
He never expected Li Qingshan to be brazen, actually descending from above to openly tear open the formation. He was also shaken. He powered the golden compass in his hand and gathered the power of the entire formation, constructing an almost-tangible barrier of golden light above.
But that would instead influence the Sovereign Dragon King’s ability to fire away. Concentrating all of its powers on defence definitely affected everything else. It was anything but easy for the remaining cannons to lock onto the speeding “meteor” too. At most, they could block it. There were only a handful of streaks of light that actually managed to touch the meteor. The rest were all torn apart by the winds before they could even get near.
The officials were great cultivators, and they were flexible with their methods of attack, but the range of their techniques and arcane treasures were limited. They were all frantic. By the time Li Qingshan entered the range of their attacks, everything would be too late.
They could only watch on helplessly as the meteor descended from above. It was clearly a sitting duck, yet no one on the ship had any way to counter it. Tearing open the formation directly seemed foolish, but it was actually the optimal tactic to turn this around.
By now, no one could stop him anymore.
In an instant, the meteor struck the Sovereign Dragon King in the air.
Crack! The golden compass in Si Long’s hand snapped in half.
The golden barrier shattered violently. With a great rumble, Li Qingshan smashed into the deck. Everything beneath his feet immediately collapsed, forming a great hole.
In the blink of an eye, a shockwave reached every single corner of the Sovereign Dragon King. The cabins collapsed one by one as splinters flew everywhere. The keel twisted and snapped. The colossal Sovereign Dragon King had basically been split into two from the attack.
His wings of wind abruptly closed. The fierce atmospheric winds were like invisible blades and swords, slicing through all the obstacles they encountered.
The great cultivators bore the full brunt of the attack. Their protective techniques and arcane treasures were torn apart by the violent atmospheric winds as their frail bodies were reduced to mince meat instantly. They wanted to flee with their soul nascences, but they were sucked into the atmospheric winds, reduced to dust. Only around seven or eight of them managed to survive.
In a split second, the glorious Sovereign Dragon King had basically been reduced to ruins. It plummeted out of the sky rapidly.
Li Qingshan stood in the ruins and raised his head, meeting Si Long’s eyes. He spat out a single word. “Piss off!”
The surviving great cultivators dispersed and fled without any regard.
