Chapter 1586 - Jiuying
Thunk!
The world shook. Like a great bell had been rung, the sound waves spread out in all directions, dispersing the thick demonic clouds. The bright moon hung in the sky once more.
Under the moon, Li Qingshan wielded the sword in one hand and the tablet in the other, rising up like a dragon. His clothes ruffled away like a flag as his scarlet hair flew like fire.
Crack! The bronze mask cracked open. Taotie’s colossal embodiment that was over three thousand metres tall suddenly staggered, tipping backwards.
He was filled with disbelief. This is… the Mountain-moving Great Sage’s… Mountain-moving tablet!
In a daze, he saw a proud lion gazing down on him from beyond the Nine Heavens. He was not unfamiliar with his mighty form.
The Sky-scraping ridge was originally a part of the old fool’s body. One of the myriad laws condensed within suppressed both Taotie’s embodiment and the laws he wielded.
“I still haven’t lost!”
Taotie bellowed and suddenly took a step back with his right foot. Several buildings collapsed as he forcefully held up his body, suddenly reaching towards the Sky-scraping ridge with his remaining arm.
The Divine Dragon Treads the Heavens, Understanding the Fortunes of Nature!
Li Qingshan raised the Sword of Xuanyuan high in the air, pointing it to the moon.
At that instant, the man and the sword, the sword and the moon, the heavens and the man, all merged together!
The moon suddenly lit up and became larger as if it was falling out of the sky. The figure of a dragon glided within it.
In that moment when Taotie was being suppressed by the mountain, Li Qingshan gained the upper hand once again in terms of the laws of the world.
The moonlight gathered into a single beam, falling down on Taotie’s arm.
Taotie gripped the Sky-scraping ridge firmly, wanting to push it away from his face, but his arm gradually cracked. The demonfolk corpses fell to the ground.
Finally, with a moon, he ruptured into pieces. Corpses fell like rain.
Under the great weight of the Sky-scraping ridge, the bronze mask became twisted and distorted, already riddled with cracks.
With a thought, the moonlight moved with Li Qingshan’s will, shining on Taotie’s right leg next.
Boom! The right leg also collapsed, and Taotie fell to the ground head-first.
Li Qingshan stowed the sword back in the sheath and descended from above. The dragon figure glided through the space, landing on Sky-scraping ridge, touching down gently at the peak.
Boom! The Sky-scraping ridge shook violently and sank even faster. Finally, it crushed Taotie into the ground in an unstoppable manner.
Boom! The bronze mask collapsed, and the colossal embodiment disintegrated. Waves of earth surged as dust filled the air. The earthquake destroyed all the structures on the ground, adding another perilous mountain to this region.
Li Qingshan stood at the top of the mountain, but he did not seem complacent at all.
The Sky-scraping ridge was the largest and steepest mountain of the three. Originally, he had been saving it for Qiongqi, but now that he used it, that was one less trump card. However, as it was a matter of life or death, he could no longer care so much. What mattered most when pushing over Qingqi mountain was still the Mountain-moving tablet after all. He did not have to use the three mountains.
What really mattered was he had just defeated an embodiment of Taotie right now. He probably thought he could crush everything with his clone alone, but he never imagined that Li Qingshan would be hiding something like that.
“Taotie can arrive at any moment in person. I need to leave here quickly. I need to leave Taotie’s dominion!”
Li Qingshan spread his fingers with his palm facing up and raised his hand gently, using the Force Field of the Earth. All of the rubble in the ruins floated up, and a large snake underground floated up too. That was Qian Rongzhi.
“You lead the way. Let’s go!”
“Alright!” Qian Rongzhi immediately turned back into a small snake, shooting over to Li Qingshan with a swish and curling around his wrist. She used her head to indicate the direction.
Li Qingshan unfurled the wings of wind. With a furious flap, the waves of air swept around, dispersing the dust and taking off.
In an instant, he arrived hundreds of kilometres away. Looking back, the demon city had already been reduced to ruins, a graveyard.
This was a divine battle, so it would definitely affect the lives of millions, leading to countless cases of destruction.
But right now, even his own life was not out of danger, so he could not bother with lamenting over the changes of the ages. Speaking of which, they were just some demonfolk too.
At the same time, in the Jinyun Food hall.
A thin figure sat alone before the ox totem. The torches blazed in the surroundings, but they were unable to disperse the thick darkness.
He wore a mask on his face, which was the taotie beast face. Under the flickering firelight and heavy darkness, he seemed quite hideous and terrifying.
“Li Qingshan!”
He slowly removed the mask with his pale-white hands, revealing a face that was similarly pale. His long, thin eyebrows draped down on the two sides. His eyes were filled with gloom and weariness, gazing at the ox totem on the wall.
He murmured, “Even I… have been changed!”
In the past, he would definitely follow the chief’s will unconditionally, trusting the chief’s decision, yet now, he wanted to kill the person chosen by the chief.
He covered his face with his hands. The fury, the agony, and the hatred had truly become unbearable.
Even when the Mountain-moving Great Sage was suppressed in Ruin’s End, he would gradually lose his memories, so how could he remain completely unaffected after being banished to this chaotic and twisted Demon domain?

“I’ll believe one more time, that the chief isn’t wrong.”
This battle had gone on for just too long, so long that even gods felt pain.
Li Qingshan seemed to sense it. Taotie did not come for him. Perhaps he had been woken up after being hit by the mountain, realising that they were not enemies!
By now, he had already reached the boundary of Taotie’s dominion according to Qian Rongzhi’s directions.
He made an attempt, but he discovered that no matter how he accelerated, the horizon remained the same, hanging in the distance. The unending mountains beneath him was the limit that could not be crossed.
Qian Rongzhi pointed between the mountains. “Go to that valley!”
Li Qingshan followed her instructions and arrived in the valley. Two mountains stood closely together on either side, meeting at the end of the valley.
In the depths of the valley was a long, slender crack, overlapping together. It was deep and dark, but it was not made of rock. Instead, it was bright-red flesh and blood. It even wriggled about, which repulsed Li Qingshan. However, there were far too many repulsive matters in the Demon domain, so he grew numb to it very soon.
As a result, he raised his wrist and asked, “I can reach Qiongqi’s dominion if I pass through here?”
The tiny snake on his wrist was icy-cold and slick, flickering its forked tongue. “That’s right, but you better not be careless. This is Heretic God Jiuying’s Blood maze. Be careful about being trapped in there forever.”
“Heretic God Jiuying?”
Li Qingshan raised his eyebrows in scorn. He had just faced a Demon God, even if that was only an embodiment, so he no longer took Heretic Gods seriously. After comprehending the Divine Dragon Transformation with the Sword of Xuanyuan in hand, which Heretic God could he not kill?
“Hiss hiss. Don’t lump her with the likes of Heretic God Baitun. Jiuying is also an ancient god. She’s resided in the Demon domain even longer than some of the Demon Gods. She’s also known as the Ghost Mother of Nine Children. She had nine Heretic Gods under her lead, which are all her children. Even Demon Gods have to acknowledge her to a certain degree.”
“However, she’s not loyal to any Demon God. Her dwelling doesn’t belong to any of the twelve dominions either. Instead, it’s a world of its own. It has a total of twelve exits, which connects with the twelve dominions. If it weren’t for the fact that the Demon domain can only contain twelve Demon Gods, she’d definitely be one.”
Li Qingshan’s heart sank. Even if she was not a true Demon God, as long as she possessed strength like Taotie’s embodiment, he would be in a tough spot.
A Ghost Mother of Nine Children that was almost a Demon God, coupled with nine Heretic Gods. Who knew just how dangerous this Blood maze was.
He hinted at something. “You sure are familiar with this place.”
“Of course. If you couldn’t make it through the customs successfully, the Blood maze is the only path.” Qian Rongzhi’s snake eyes swivelled. “Though, as long as you devour that Black Sun Demon Heart, she’s probably not your opponent.” Her eerie voice was filled with temptation.
