I Am Overlord

Chapter 1493: Celestial Darkdevil Tree

Xiang Shaoyun's meditation lasted seven days and seven nights. During that period, Mo Yue, Mo Xuwu, Devil Concubine, and Purple Lightning Marquis had remained, silently looking at the clump of primal chaos energy around Xiang Shaoyun. Nobody said anything, and nobody knew what the others were thinking.

On the final day, all the primal chaos energy on the ring was absorbed into Xiang Shaoyun's astral cosmos sea. At the same time, he also absorbed a massive amount of ambient energy in the air, and an imposing aura erupted from his body.

Evidently, Xiang Shaoyun's cultivation had progressed considerably. From the initial third-stage Heaven Battling Realm, he had reached the middle of the third stage. That might seem like a small improvement, but a regular Saint would generally take two whole years for such an improvement.

As for Xiang Shaoyun, he had advanced so quickly thanks to his firm foundations, the pressure exerted on him by Liu Qingchen, and his comprehension of the profundity of primal chaos. In fact, the profundity of primal chaos could be split into two profundities—creation and destruction.

The profundity of creation could create new objects and living beings by utilizing the positive relationship between elements. For now, Xiang Shaoyun could only create some low-level objects. Only when his strength grew and his comprehension deepened would he be able to create new life.

The profundity of creation could also be used for offensive purposes. With the profundity of creation, any element could be enhanced to increase one's offensive strength.

Of course, the profundity of creation was far weaker than the profundity of destruction in terms of offense. The profundity of destruction could also be called the profundity of death. Symbolizing death and destruction, it represented the boundless might generated from the negative relationship between elements.

In comparison, the profundity of destruction was much easier to comprehend and utilize. Regardless of how the two profundities were utilized, they both belonged to the profundity of primal chaos. They originated from the primal chaos, and they contained countless permutations. An ordinary person would not be able to comprehend such profundity.

Xiang Shaoyun had just started to comprehend this profundity. How much of the profundity's strength he could display would rely on his comprehension strength. Besides the profundity of primal chaos, Xiang Shaoyun's biggest gain was the Death Eyes.

After gaining the divine dao eyes, he had obtained the ability to attack with his eyes. However, he had not obtained any eye-related offensive techniques. But after comprehending the profundity of death, he found that his divine dao eyes could integrate and unleash the power of death. historical

At present, his Death Eyes weren't too powerful yet, as he still hadn't truly produced the death energy in his body. Instead, he relied on the negative relationship between elements to generate some when required. Of course, if he could absorb some actual death energy and attach the energy to his eyes, his Death Eyes would become more powerful.

However, the act of absorbing death energy was tantamount to suicide. Apart from specters and zombies, no other races would dare to do so. After all, death energy could corrode one's life force. For now, Xiang Shaoyun did not plan to absorb death energy. Whether he would absorb any in the future would rely on what he encountered.

For now, he had comprehended the profundities of primal chaos, yin and yang, and life. Each of the three was a profundity anyone would covet. As long as he continued improving, the three profundities would allow him to be undefeatable among his peers.

Right after Xiang Shaoyun stood up, a voice whispered into his ears, "Young human king among Saints, I require your primal chaos energy."

Utterly confused, Xiang Shaoyun cried out, "Who's talking to me?"

He was sure the voice did not come from Mo Yue and Mo Xuwu.

"Overlord, what's wrong?" asked Devil Concubine.

Mo Yue, Mo Xuwu, and Purple Lightning Marquis also walked up to him.

Before Xiang Shaoyun could reply, the same voice appeared again, "I'm the celestial darkdevil tree!"

Next, an old tree spirit appeared above the celestial darkdevil tree. With a crutch in hand, the tree spirit appeared on the ring.

Mo Yue and Mo Xuwu exclaimed in alarm, "Lord tree spirit!"

The celestial darkdevil tree was the foundation of the Darkdevil Sect. It had powerful defenses and could gather a large amount of dark energy, helping the Darkdevil Sect members cultivate. It had existed far longer than Mo Yue and Mo Xuwu.

"Celestial darkdevil tree?" Xiang Shaoyun was astonished.

He had not imagined that he would actually attract the attention of such a divine tree. He did not know what the tree needed his primal chaos energy for.

The tree spirit nodded at Mo Yue and Mo Xuwu before looking at Xiang Shaoyun. "Young human king among Saints, are you willing to lend me some of your primal chaos energy?"

"Oh..." Xiang Shaoyun hesitated, but Mo Yue said, "Xiang Shaoyun, agree to lord tree's request. So long as you agree, I'll immediately accept your relationship with Devil Concubine."

Mo Xuwu said expressionlessly, "I agree as well."

Devil Concubine then looked at Xiang Shaoyun with her gleaming eyes, awaiting his answer.

Xiang Shaoyun was already prepared to agree. Thus, he did not hesitate and said, "Lord tree, that won't be a problem, but I'm afraid the volume I can produce is rather small. I don't know if it will be sufficient."

"Yes, with your strength, you can't produce much. But after reaching the God Realm, you'll be able to produce enough to satisfy me," replied the tree spirit.

"Do you mean that you can wait until I reach the God Realm?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

"No. Give me some right now. It will be even better if you can stay here for some time and produce more for me," said the tree spirit eagerly. "I can even wait here until you reach the God Realm."

Xiang Shaoyun was somewhat speechless as he said, "Lord tree, it's impossible for me to stay here until I reach the God Realm. I will leave in a few days. I have many matters to tend to."

"Lord tree, your request is a tad bit too excessive! The overlord might be exceptionally talented, but he will still require at least 100 years to reach the God Realm. It's not proper to make him stay for so long," said Devil Concubine bluntly.

"Devil Concubine, do not be rude!" berated Mo Xuwu.

"Lord tree, how much primal chaos energy do you need? We'll think of something," said Mo Yue.

"I have entered the next phase of growth. I need the primal chaos energy to nurture my strength and push me to the next level. Otherwise, I will start withering," said the tree spirit.
