I Am Overlord

Chapter 474: Absorbing Yin Devil Wind

Xiang Shaoyun had not expected that when he was trying to absorb the yin devil wind, he would first absorb the silver lightning core. Everything had happened so fast he wasn't even given a chance to think about it. The only thing he could do was continue releasing his absorption force to pull the yin devil wind toward him.

As for the silver lightning core, it instantly flooded his lightning star with power. Silver lightning energy coursed through his body, forming a resonance with his lightning bone, and it covered many of his bones with a layer of lightning energy. It was as if his bones and his lightning star were going to share the power brought by the silver lightning core.

At the same time, after the silver lightning bolts clashed with the storm, they were greatly weakened. A large number of lightning bolts still struck Xiang Shaoyun, but they were unable to harm him. Instead, his lightning bone absorbed them and used them to refine his other bones.

This round of lightning bombardment had also cleared the last of the poison in his body, the portion that had been hidden so deep in his body that not even he himself knew it was there. In fact, before this, he had thought that the previous rain of lightning had fully cleared his body of poison.

Ugly Gambler would probably be utterly infuriated if he saw this. One ought to know that this was a poison he had obtained from the Poison Physician of the Seven Villains. However, Xiang Shaoyun was too preoccupied to even give the poison much thought. His nine stars were still pulsing with an insane absorption force, pulling a large amount of baleful wind energy into his body. Finally, the yin devil wind itself also started moving toward him.

The rain of lightning had greatly weakened the yin devil wind, reducing it to a tiny, slowly spiraling cyclone that looked wondrous and exquisite. It was quite unbelievable that just this tiny thing here was capable of creating such a massive storm. If Xiang Shaoyun still had his clarity of mind, he would definitely store it now and gift it to Yu Caidie later.

Unfortunately, all his focus was placed on the insane absorption force his stars were emitting. He had no way of stopping what he was doing.

The yin devil wind could sense the surging wind energy in Xiang Shaoyun's body, and it caused it to develop a sense of intimacy toward him. It no longer struggled, and it took the initiative to fly into his body.

After entering his body, the yin devil wind went straight to the wind star. And since the yin devil wind contained an insanely large amount of devil baleful wind energy, the dreadful power caused Xiang Shaoyun to wail tragically the moment it entered the wind star.

"Ahhhh!"

He was in intense pain. This was a pain similar to what he felt when he had absorbed Yun Flame, the pain of his star on the verge of implosion. He bit his tongue, forcing himself to stay focused, and started madly circulating his Heaven Conquering Overlord Manual, trying to forcefully refine the yin devil wind.

As he tried his best to split the power of the yin devil wind, he extracted and transferred a massive amount of devil baleful wind energy to his meridians, acupoints, and astral cosmos sea, weakening the energy enough to be contained within his star.

In truth, apart from the energy of the yin devil wind, the silver lightning core also had a massive amount of lightning energy that was causing him great pain. One could say that storm wind and lightning were currently raging in Xiang Shaoyun's body.

In his pain, the earlier clashing of storm and lightning abruptly resurfaced in his mind. A sudden inspiration struck him as he seemed to have suddenly grasped the essence of some sort of attack. Moving by pure instinct, he channeled some of the two energies out of his body and blasted it forward.

Wind and Lightning!

He formed a palm with one hand, and a fist with the other. A torrential wind shot out of the palm, and a bolt of lightning shot out of the fist.

Wind and lightning raged, shaking the world. historical

The rocks nearby were all turned into powder, and massive destruction was left in his surroundings. After blasting two clumps of energy out of his body, the pain he felt reduced somewhat. At that realization, he started brandishing his hands around, unleashing attacks of wind and lightning again and again.

The power of wind and lightning started wreaking havoc everywhere around him, unleashing a level of destructiveness comparable to the attack of an Emperor. At the same time, his aura kept growing. From mid fourth-stage Skysoar Realm, he reached late fourth-stage, peak fourth-stage, and finally entered the fifth-stage. It was an insanely fast growth speed.

Meanwhile, Ruo Suifeng, seriously injured, was completely oblivious to it all. If he was hit by a random attack from Xiang Shaoyun, he would die for sure. Using her footwork, Yu Caidie rushed over and rescued Ruo Suifeng. She quickly withdrew far away with him. After placing him down and feeding him some spirit spring water, she continued looking at Xiang Shaoyun.

"Looks like he has obtained the yin devil wind. And from his condition, he seems to be in a thoughtless state of cultivation. Perhaps he will bring a great surprise when he wakes up," muttered Yu Caidie, her eyes rippling with an odd emotion similar to what Xiang Shaoyun felt when he looked at her. There seemed to be some sort of resonance between the two, as if they were connected by fate.

At this time, several other people arrived. Among them were Di Tong, Yu Ziyi, Tang Longfei, Zuo Zhentian, Huo Xudong, and some others. When they looked at the dense storm of wind and lightning, they could see a vague outline of someone dancing about. A boundless power was surging everywhere, causing them to shiver in fear.

Di Tong focused his eyes, and the moment he saw that the dancing outline was Xiang Shaoyun, his murderous intent soared. Riding his mount, he charged straight toward Xiang Shaoyun.

"I don't care if you are breaking through or comprehending a technique—you will die," said Di Tong as he attacked together with his luan-bird mount, sending a fiery attack forward.

"Bastard! Stop!" Tang Longfei was infuriated and rushed over as well. Unfortunately, Di Tong was quite far ahead of him, and Tang Longfei would not be able to assist Xiang Shaoyun in time.

Yu Caidie also noticed Di Tong's attack, but she did not do anything. A smile hung on her face as she muttered, "He is being suicidal."

Sure enough, the moment Di Tong's attack approached Xiang Shaoyun, an attack of wind and lightning completely obliterated it.

"What? He actually stopped my full-powered attack?" Di Tong cried out in alarm. The might Xiang Shaoyun was displaying filled his heart with fear.

Xiang Shaoyun then started sending attacks toward Di Tong, though it was not known if this was by instinct or if he was consciously doing it.

Di Tong was greatly alarmed. He did not even dare to block the attack, and he quickly withdrew. At this time, Tang Longfei arrived before him.

"You dare to harm Brother Yun? Die!" Tang Longfei roared furiously and sent eight punches in a row, sending eight roaring dragons toward Di Tong.
