I Am Overlord

Chapter 1472: Sea of Fiery Dragon Clouds

News of the coming chaos spread throughout the dominion. The first point of chaos was the Dusk Dynasty. After some time, the devils had finally broken through the Dusk Dynasty's defensive line. More and more devils surged out of the Devil Domain. No matter how many human experts arrived, they couldn't stop the invasion.

The second point of chaos was the City of Light's destruction. There, the Dark Devourer Clan had appeared. One lord guardian had also appeared there and made a public announcement, telling the world to prepare for the alien races' invasion, which might come in 100 years. The lord guardian also had the Guardians Guild enter the level-three emergency state.

Unfortunately, humans had always been divided and would only fight their own battles. Unless it was a battle concerning the survival of humanity as a whole, most humans wouldn't be bothered to help. In fact, if humanity could truly unite, the devils would have been destroyed long ago.

Like many others, Xiang Shaoyun was only focused on protecting his people and was too busy to help others. After connecting the teleportation formation to the Fox Range with Purple Lightning Marquis, he did not stop and headed straight toward the South Divine Devil.

He had to first complete the Nether Monarch's mission. Even if it would cause the Imperial Nether Clan to truly descend upon the dominion, he had to complete the mission for his mother's sake. Since his master hadn't stopped him from doing so, he wasn't as worried as before.

As he had no idea what kind of attitude this branch of Imperial Nether Clan would hold toward him and what would happen upon completing the mission, he brought Purple Lightning Marquis with him as a safety measure. Thanks to Purple Lightning Marquis, the two flew at a height that was beyond the sky, moving at a rapid speed to reach the South Divine Devil as soon as possible.

The Nine Gods Dominion consisted of nine regions, but the biggest region was the Central Region, followed by the southern, western, northern, and eastern regions. As for the East Divine Island, South Divine Devil, North Illusionary Sea, and West Demonic Cave, the four regions were much smaller in comparison. The only reason they were even considered regions was due to their strategic location and the fact that they were occupied by non-human races.

It was rumored that the East Divine Island was inhabited by golden crows. In the past, it used to belong to the dragons, but the golden crows took over the region after the dragons' great catastrophe. Humans were prohibited from entry, and any intruders would be killed.

As for the South Divine Devil, the Imperial Nether Clan only occupied a single province in the region. At the same time, the region was also filled with numerous devilish plants, poisonous bugs, and fiendish beings. It was a region filled with both danger and numerous unique treasures.

Among the organizations capable of surviving in the South Divine Devil, the Darkdevil Sect was the strongest. They were also in charge of watching the Imperial Nether Clan.

The Darkdevil Sect might not be as powerful as the Immortal Road Chamber, Guangling Palace, and Celestial Alliance, but it was still an ancient organization no weaker than the strongest of dynasties.

On the other hand, the West Demonic Cave was the territory of the demonic beasts. Numerous formidable demonic beasts ran rampant there, forming the strongest demonic beast organizations. The demonic beast organizations here were at a completely different level than the demonic beast organizations outside the West Demonic Cave.

As for the North Illusionary Sea, it was inhabited by aquatic demonic beasts and illusionary devils. No human trace could be found there because the environment was completely unsuitable for humans. Nevertheless, the North Illusionary Sea was also home to some extremely rare god-grade treasures such as the illusionary heart and the infinite light.

To get to the South Divine Devil, Xiang Shaoyun had to travel further south from the Southern Wasteland. While he traveled with Purple Lightning Marquis, his devil cultivation entered the fourth-stage Devil Saint Realm. His Imperial Nether Domain had grown even stronger, granting him enough strength to prevail against Great Saints even without his astral cultivation. Xiang Shaoyun was in no rush to consume another devil core. It wasn't always good to grow too quickly. He had to first stabilize his foundations.

Suddenly, Purple Lightning Marquis stopped and said, "Something is off."

"What's going on?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

"A sea of fiery dragon clouds appeared ahead of us," said Purple Lightning Marquis.

At that, Xiang Shaoyun focused ahead of them. Sure enough, a wide expanse of fiery dragons appeared in his vision. The surging sea of flame before them was shockingly intense.

Flying at a height beyond the sky had always been extremely dangerous. At such altitude, any spatial undulation could easily attract a disastrous power that could kill even Saints. Only those in the God Realm could freely travel beyond the sky. historical

The sea of fiery dragon clouds before them was one of the calamities that even a Saint would need to avoid. Even a Great Saint would be instantly reduced to ashes upon encountering one.

With the divine dao eyes, Xiang Shaoyun was able to see that the flame within the sea of fiery dragon clouds was of a much higher level than Yun Flame. If he could absorb the essence of this sea of flame, he could probably advance to the next stage of cultivation.

"Keep watch for me. I want to cultivate there," said Xiang Shaoyun resolutely.

"The sea of fiery dragon clouds is too powerful. Even regular Gods can't approach it. I'll help you enter," said Purple Lightning Marquis.

"There's no need. Just keep watch," said Xiang Shaoyun with a wave of his hand.

He then dashed toward the surging sea of fiery dragon clouds. A layer of primal inception energy covered him, forming a multicolored barrier around his entire body. Instead of diving straight into the sea of flames, he stopped outside the sea and started absorbing the flame energy while chanting the Desolation mantra.

The flame energy was extremely violent, and the profundity of flame was powering it, maximizing the flame's destructive effect. Strand after strand of flame energy surrounded Xiang Shaoyun while his astral cosmos sea absorbed all the flame energy like a bottomless sea. The strands of flame energy caused Xiang Shaoyun to feel a burning pain. However, the pain was still within his acceptable limit.

"Even the flame energy out here is enough to make me feel pain. What a terrifying flame," muttered Xiang Shaoyun.

One ought to know that he had already forged a pseudo-god body. Very rarely would he feel pain from a flame. As for the flame before him, it could actually give him pain. What of the flame at the center of this sea of flame? Would it be too much for him to endure?

Xiang Shaoyun did not overthink his current situation and decided to absorb as much of the flame energy here as he could before thinking about anything else. But just as he increased his absorption speed, the sea of fiery dragon clouds attacked Xiang Shaoyun as though it was an intelligent being.

Roar!

Two roaring dragons charged out of the sea, looking so lifelike that it was as though two actual dragons were charging toward Xiang Shaoyun. The flame energy surrounding the two dragons was so intense it was as though they could burn through everything in existence.

"Watch out, overlord!" Purple Lightning Marquis was so alarmed he nearly moved in to help Xiang Shaoyun.
