Legend of the Great Sage

is body swelled and grew larger once again.
The demon heart in his body had become extremely large, thumping like a great drum.
Suddenly, he crossed a boundary and raised his head, letting out a roar.

Boom!

With a clap of thunder, a bolt of lightning pierced through space and struck Duoge.

Electricity crackled as the golden hall trembled gently.

The Unraging monk said, “The little demonfolk is undergoing the tribulation.
He’s quite fortunate.”

The Dauntless monk said, “He’ll die from madness in the end anyway, so how can you call that fortunate?”

“Heavenly tribulations” were the supreme laws of the world and an invisible examiner.
They were present everywhere, and they tested all creatures that wanted to escape mortality and obtain eternal life.
Whether it were gods, demons, humans, or daemons, no one could escape its judgement.

Lightning writhed like dragons and snakes, coiling around Duoge’s body and punching holes through him.
Duoge let out a violent, painful roar as his demon qi immediately weakened.

So painful!

Under the violent lashing of lightning, a sliver of clarity appeared in Duoge’s head.
The Demon Suppression statue appeared in his mind again, and its painful posture seemed to align with his current situation.

Deep within the corridors, Xiao An stopped and glanced back before stepping over a pile of flesh and continuing on her way.

“What is this sound? It’s thunder.
There’s obviously no thunder here.
Is someone undergoing a tribulation?”

Li Qingshan listened closely before turning around and facing the male demonfolk before him.
“When demonfolk undergo the heavenly tribulation, they become Demon Generals like you, right?”

“Which race’s Demon General are you? Why have I never seen you before?”

The Demon General carried two blades on his waist and another two on his back as he studied Li Qingshan cautiously.

“I never answer questions from corpses.”

After replying with this classical line, Li Qingshan became like a child who had just been given a new toy.
He raised his hand in great interest and enveloped the Demon General with his fingers.
With this move alone, he had already crushed over a hundred demonfolk throughout his journey here.

The feeling was truly similar to crushing ants during his youth, except the effect was much more satisfying.
Standing right before him was an oversized ant, the type that could bring him exceptional pleasure when he crushed him.

The Unraging monk asked in confusion, “Why does this kid’s demonic nature seem to have strengthened after practising the Demon Suppression Statuary?”

When it came to things like killing intent and malice, Li Qingshan was much more powerful than these demonfolk.
Normally, he kept it under control and refused to unleash it.
Now that an opportunity had presented itself to him, he might as well just do what he wanted.
What was wrong with using the demonic path against demonfolk?

“What did you do?” The Demon General’s expression changed.
He clutched his chest, taking a step back.
He felt like a boulder was weighing on his body, and the aura within him was being stretched and pulled apart.

“Don’t make me repeat myself,” Li Qingshan said impatiently before pulling back his hand and murmuring to himself, “Looks like the effect on Demon Generals is limited.”

“Why? Even if you kill me, it won’t bring you any benefits.”

Wave Treading Form!

Li Qingshan stopped blabbering.
Waves rose up beneath his feet as his fingers curved like the claws of a tiger, reaching over towards the Demon General’s head.

The Demon General let out a furious roar and another two arms extended out from his back, drawing the four blades and swinging them in a flurry.

Tsunami Form!

Li Qingshan shifted his hands from claws to open palms.
Surging spiritual qi turned into a colossal tsunami, filling the wide corridor and slamming against the flurry of blades.

The flurry and tsunami vanished at the same time.
Li Qingshan’s palm pressed against the Demon General’s chest gently, no longer possessing any power.
With the four-armed Demon General’s powerful body, he had not even sustained a scratch.

However, the four-armed Demon General’s flesh began to surge, rising and falling and fluctuating.
In the end, he exploded with a thump.

“Taste my fist of justice!”

Li Qingshan sniggered.
The Demon Suppression Statuary sure was interesting.
Right now, he was completely the embodiment of justice.
He did not have to worry about what was right or wrong at all.
He only had to throw a punch over.
If you’re a good person, you’d obviously be fine, but you can go die if you’re a bad person!

Li Qingshan continued on his way towards the second Demon Suppression statue.
There should be even more and stronger Demon Generals there!

He did not have Xiao An’s level of judgement, but after learning the first form of the Demon Suppression Statuary, it had suppressed the ox demon and tiger demon to a certain degree.
As such, the spirit turtle’s predictive ability had recovered by a lot.
With a clear destination in mind, finding the correct path was no issue.

A while later, Li Qingshan pushed through the gilded doors rather eagerly, only to be mildly surprised.
He sighed with a smile.
“Sure enough, you’re still faster!”

Xiao An currently stood before the second Demon Suppression statue as she wielded the Wheel of the Wisdom King’s Glare.
Her surroundings were strewn with remains.

Li Qingshan arrived beside Xiao An and asked, “Have you seen Duoge?”

“Perhaps he’s undergoing the tribulation.”

“Don’t tell me the thunder earlier was from him!?”

In the golden hall, Duoge laid on the ground.
Most of his body had become charred black, but his chest rose and fell, still breathing.

The tumour-like demon heart in his body had become extremely small and firm like a rock.
It constantly emitted demon qi.
The charred black flaked off his body piece by piece as his wounds slowly recovered.
Suddenly, he leapt to his feet, becoming ten times more nimble than before.
He had become a Demon General.
