I Am Overlord

Chapter 1588: Fastest Record

Many experts were observing the battle outside the ring, including Lan Shenyong of the Immortal Road Chamber. When he saw that punch from Xiang Shaoyun, he felt like the punch had slammed right into his own heart. At that moment, his desire for revenge fell apart. If that punch had been thrown his way instead, he would have no way of surviving it. The youths around him had solemn expressions as well. All of them seemed to be thinking of a way to resist that punch.

"This is truly unexpected. Looks like we've all been looking down on him," said the youth in gold.

"I knew of his potential. That was why I tried recruiting him. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to recruit him anymore," said Fairy Zi Xiang.

"However strong he is, he's still not a pseudo-God. He won't be the match for those fellows ranked above us," said a different youth.

The youth in gold said, "Stop all provocations. There will naturally be someone to take care of him after we all enter the ancient battlefield."

At the Celestial Alliance's side, the ordinary-looking youth clad in a hemp garment surged in battle intent and said, "The Primal Inception Physique is worthy of its reputation. I'm afraid it's no weaker than the Primal Chaos Physique. If the Heaven Battling Ranking Competition isn't so near, I really want to challenge him as well."

From the Immortal Dynasty's side, the princes and the children of influential officials were also observing the fight from a high building. The first prince was among them, and seated beside him was He Caiyi, who was dressed in a seven-colored outfit. He said, "Look, ninth sister. Is a peerless genius like this a good match for you?"

He Caiyi had a look of intrigue as she said, "He is indeed quite capable. If he can enter the Rebirth Realm, I'll give it a thought."

"If not even he can enter the Rebirth Realm, I'm afraid none of us will be able to do so," said the first prince with a sigh.

"True," agreed He Caiyi. When her gaze landed on Xiang Shaoyun, a desire to conquer surged within her. She felt the same as when she saw something she wanted during her childhood. Nobody else had ever been able to obtain something that she had set her eyes on.

In the ring, Guardian Lu was punched into pieces. There was no doubt that he was already dead. Xiang Shaoyun's punch was too strong. Although his punch had been weakened by Guardian Lu, the punch was still beyond Guardian Lu's limit. With Guardian Lu's defeat, Xiang Shaoyun obtained his 100th victory. The ring lit up, and a boundless power surged out and gathered around Xiang Shaoyun.

Any other person would immediately absorb the energy, but Xiang Shaoyun hurriedly reached out, released a sealing power, and then grabbed the energy with his hand. His actions stunned the crowd. That was a Saint Realm energy granted by a God. Thus, it was at a far higher tier than ordinary Saint Realm energy. Why was he holding it in his hand instead of absorbing it?

Xiang Shaoyun ignored the crowd and focused on the profundity contained within the clump of energy. He immediately understood what made this clump of energy so special. It had evidently been extracted from someone's origin power and was enhanced by a slight trace of God Realm rules. A regular Saint would be able to easily advance by at least a stage after absorbing it. One could say that this was quite a massive reward.

"No wonder the Immortal Arena can remain flourishing for so many years. With a God Realm energy like this, a Saint can rapidly grow in strength. However, this is still an external force. If it was absorbed without being further refined, it might stand in the way of one's growth in the future," muttered Xiang Shaoyun to himself.

He then sealed the energy and stored it in his astral cosmos sea. Perhaps he could keep it as a reward for one of his companions. After all, it wouldn't really be too helpful for him. He then sat down cross-legged on the ring and waited for more challengers. In any case, he still had plenty of time before the Heaven Battling Ranking Competition started. Fighting in the Immortal Arena would be a great way to kill some time.

Not long after he sat down, a new challenger appeared. The challenger was from a non-human race. Clearly, the challenger intended to take advantage of Xiang Shaoyun's exhaustion to defeat him.

Unfortunately for the challenger, the true star in Xiang Shaoyun's body granted him an endless supply of energy and an increased absorption rate of the ambient energy around him, granting him an unimaginable recovery speed.

Unsurprisingly, the non-human challenger was defeated. Before long, 10 more days passed. At this point, Xiang Shaoyun had defeated 250 challengers in total. Many of his recent challengers were defeated with one move. Even the strongest of them could not survive more than three of his moves.

After 250 victories, almost everyone realized that Xiang Shaoyun was probably peerless within the Heaven Battling Realm. Many geniuses of the various powerful organizations wanted to challenge him as well, but they forced themselves to calm down at the thought of the incoming Heaven Battling Ranking Competition, allowing Xiang Shaoyun to have all the limelight.

Time continued passing. Finally, Xiang Shaoyun obtained his 500th victory. He had spent a total of one month in the arena. God Realm energy appeared around him, alarming the entire Immortal Capital.

It had been many years since someone had completed the 500-victory challenge. When the God Realm energy appeared, Xiang Shaoyun did the same as previously and sealed it before storing it in his astral cosmos sea. historical

That clump of energy wasn't as pure and powerful as the two strands Venerable Yuan Shi had left behind. However, it was still good enough to help him reach late-stage Great Saint Realm. He would also need some time to properly absorb the energy.

"The overlord is unrivaled! The overlord is unrivaled!" All the Overlord Legion members were mad with joy.

The others were also looking at Xiang Shaoyun with reverence. Someone as strong as him would definitely grow into an individual of extraordinary status. A lot of people had gathered around the ring. But when Xiang Shaoyun left the ring, nobody dared to approach him.

Rather, everyone tactfully moved aside and opened up a path for him to leave, as though they were welcoming the return of a valiant hero. Xiang Shaoyun walked through the crowd expressionlessly, enjoying the glory that belonged solely to him. At the same time, his desire for the peak of cultivation became even stronger than before.

Just as he was about to leave with his people, a group of imperial guards from the Immortal Dynasty appeared before him. The leader bowed slightly to him and said, "Young Master Xiang, the emperor invites you to an audience."

The Immortal Dynasty was the strongest dynasty in existence. As a result, they had always acted arrogantly. For them to extend Xiang Shaoyun an invitation like this made it clear the kind of standing Xiang Shaoyun had at the moment.

Xiang Shaoyun hesitated slightly before nodding. "It would be my honor to meet the Immortal Emperor."

He entered the luxurious carriage brought by the imperial guards and was brought straight to the imperial palace. The crowd had a look of envy as they gazed at the departing squad of imperial guards.
