I Am Overlord

Chapter 1528: Impending Crisis

As one of the four paramount devil clans, each diabolic dragon possessed an incredible combat strength. Like the dragons of the demonic beasts, the diabolic dragons could unleash combat strength over ten times their actual cultivation level. One could say that the diabolic dragon was a warrior race.

Unfortunately, Xie Gong had encountered Xiang Shaoyun, a freak among humans. Even after using all his strength, he was still seriously injured by Xiang Shaoyun's mastery over the profundity of powers.

Regardless of whether it was the dao of time or the dao of death, each was an unrivaled great dao that no regular person could comprehend. As someone who had comprehended both of these daos, Xiang Shaoyun was naturally not someone a regular cultivator could compare with.

Finally, Xie Gong couldn't take it anymore and fled toward the Devil Domain's entrance.

"Traitor of the Imperial Nether Clan, I will definitely get an explanation from the Imperial Nether Clan about this!" threatened Xie Gong before retreating.

"Would you have the chance to do so?" asked Xiang Shaoyun coldly as he unleashed his strongest attack. A nine-colored fist dropped from the sky, aiming to completely pulverize Xie Gong.

Just as the punch was about to reach Xie Gong, a gust of God Realm energy shot out and stopped the punch.

"Don't even dream of killing our prince. You should be the one to die!" a different voice rang out as a series of energy arrows shot forth.

The arrows moved rapidly, instantly reaching Xiang Shaoyun. Even with his divine dao eyes, he nearly missed the incoming arrows. All his hair stood on end as he activated the Nether Soul Dragon Headband and surrounded himself in a barrier before hurriedly moving away.

Boom!

The barrier was struck, resulting in a loud rumble as he was sent flying. If it weren't for the Nether Soul Dragon Headband, the attack would have killed him.

The newcomer was a Devil God with spikes all over his body. Every single spike emanated a frightening sense of power. No ordinary God would be his match.

The newcomer sighed, "He survived? What a pity."

He then hurriedly retreated into the entrance with Xie Gong. It wasn't that he didn't want to push on, but he could sense several powerful Gods nearby. If he advanced, some powerful human Gods would probably come for him. As his mission was to protect the prince instead of attacking the enemies, it would be pointless for him to advance.

Xiang Shaoyun's soul clone was beaten back, leaving him with no choice but to call his clone back into his body. He used the profundity of life to heal his injuries and dissolved a large number of saint crystals to replenish his energy.

"I truly can't afford to be careless on the battlefield," muttered Xiang Shaoyun to himself.

He no longer dared to rush to the Devil Domain's entrance. Rather, he continued hunting the devils around the entrance.

After fighting without stopping for half a month, Xiang Shaoyun finally returned to his encampment to recuperate. About one-quarter of his people had perished in the battle, and only about 200 were left now. Even some wolf guards had perished. War was truly cruel.

Xiang Shaoyun was saddened by what he saw. He even wondered if he was too cruel toward his own, but when he thought about the coming chaos, the little cruelty he had shown his people was nothing compared to what was coming.

Once again, Xiang Shaoyun entered a period of silent cultivation. After half a month of fighting, he had killed seven Great Devil Saints, dozens of Devil Saints, and countless other devils, earning him many contribution points.

However, he did not care about his contribution points. As far as he was concerned, he was only here to complete the mission his master had given him.

People from many organizations learned that the young king among Saints who had slain countless powerful devils was none other than Xiang Shaoyun. He had successfully earned their reverence.

Those who once suspected Xiang Shaoyun of being a devil had erased all their suspicion. If Xiang Shaoyun was a devil, why would he put so much effort into killing devils? Those from the Yu and Di Clans had also received news of Xiang Shaoyun's and Yu Caidie's appearance. The two clans immediately sent over God Realm experts to deal with Xiang Shaoyun.

The Yu Clan's group was led by Yu Huayan. With two pseudo-Gods, they rushed over at top speed. Because the Western Desert's Bloodsin City was also being attacked by devils, the Yu Clan couldn't spare too much of their force on Xiang Shaoyun. Thus, they could only send a small group over. If they allowed the Bloodsin City to be overrun, they would also suffer.

Of course, they were also betting on the fact that Xiang Shaoyun wouldn't always be protected by Gods. With Yu Huayan's strength, perhaps she would be able to get Yu Caidie back.

As for the Di Clan, they sent over Eunuch Dong. He was a third-stage Rebirth Realm expert. Someone with such strength could generally go wherever they want in the dominion.

Apart from Eunuch Dong, there were five other people in the group, and none of them was weaker than a Great Saint. One was even a pseudo-God. A group like that was strong enough to even deal with a tier-8 organization. historical

Eunuch Dong was ordered to stop at nothing to kill Xiang Shaoyun. They must not allow Xiang Shaoyun to survive. His second command was to capture Yu Caidie. The two groups set off at different times, but their goal was the same.

Xiang Shaoyun was naturally unaware of the impending crisis. He was still silently cultivating and rapidly growing his strength. From the battle, his cultivation had gone from mid fourth-stage to late fourth-stage Heaven Battling Realm. One could say that he was improving at lightning speed.

Apart from that, his devil cultivation had also grown considerably thanks to the devil cores he had consumed. He would never forget the time when he had lost his astral cultivation. At that time, his devil cultivation was the reason he had survived.

Thus, he would not abandon his devil cultivation. However, he would hold back from using his devil cultivation against devils. Perhaps it was an instinctive reaction caused by the devil blood flowing within him.

He also did not forget to cultivate his Yin Sword Technique. He had a feeling that if he wanted to invade the Devil Domain, he needed the Yin Sword Technique. He couldn't afford to be careless when facing Devil Gods.

The Yin Sword Technique was a god-grade technique. It was incredibly capable, and his soul clone was more than capable of unleashing a part of the technique's true might.

Apart from that, Xiang Shaoyun had also reforged the Overlord Skyslaying Saber in his astral cosmos sea. Prior to this, the saber had broken apart. He had been nourishing the saber in his astral cosmos sea because he wanted to forge a weapon truly suited for him with the broken pieces.

Using his own blood essence and primal inception energy, he was able to forge a prototype weapon. He only lacked some top-tier god-grade materials to fully complete the Overlord Skyslaying Saber.
