I Am Overlord

Chapter 1382: Devil Cultivation's Strength

Without any astral energy and the blood-soaked robe, Xiang Shaoyun couldn't afford to hold back if he wanted to survive against a fifth-stage Saint. Since everyone knew that he was a devil, there was no point in hiding. His first-stage Devil Saint cultivation rippled out, and devilish energy shrouded his entire body, making him look like a domineering prince of devils. As an imperial nether devil, Xiang Shaoyun's combat strength was naturally not weak. With his innate abilities, he would have no trouble against Yu Cangsheng.

"I don't know how you survived that lord, but since you're here at Icecross City, I won't spare you," said Yu Cangsheng as he looked at the youngster before him.

"I have a question. Have I offended your Yu Clan?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

"No," said Yu Cangsheng.

"Have I killed anyone in Icecross City?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

Yu Cangsheng sank into thought before saying, "No."

"Why do you want to kill me, then?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

"You're a devil. Humans and devils can never coexist. That is the reason," replied Yu Cangsheng.

"Very well. Bring it on," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Since you haven't committed mass murder in the city, I shall leave you with your corpse intact," said Yu Cangsheng before slamming his palm toward Xiang Shaoyun.

His palm was akin to a flying crane with its wings spread wide. It shot forward with boundless might as it aimed for Xiang Shaoyun, leaving a path of collapsing space in its wake.

Sensing the strength of a fifth-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator from the incoming attack, Xiang Shaoyun spurred his devil pearl. Layer upon layer of devilish energy rippled around his body as his fist shot out like a roaring dragon.

Boom!

The two attacks collided, creating a massive rumble and numerous shockwaves. Yu Changsheng held nothing back and repeatedly attacked, leaving a series of afterimages as he darted around.

Feather Wool Palm!

Each palm of his was akin to a dancing crane. The endless palms covered the entire sky and carried the power to destroy stars. This was a battle technique exclusive to the Yu Clan. During Xiang Shaoyun's time with the Imperial Nether Clan, Xiang Shaoyun had witnessed many devilish techniques.

The Nine Wheels Extermination, in particular, was the technique he specialized in. However, that did not mean that he did not know any other devilish techniques. As he threw punch after punch, wave after wave of devilish aura rippled out around him. His powerful physique served as a strong foundation for his combat strength, but it was a pity that, in terms of energy, he was somewhat lacking.

After several collisions, Xiang Shaoyun was forced to retreat again and again. He was, after all, not as proficient in devilish energy as compared with astral energy.

Under Yu Cangsheng's concentrated attacks, Xiang Shaoyun eventually failed to defend himself and was struck. Yu Cangsheng pressed on by raining even more palm attacks at him.

Xiang Shaoyun was forced to focus on defending himself. Even so, his body still suffered numerous injuries. His entire body was nearly smashed into mincemeat. Yu Cangsheng's palm attacks were too powerful. If he hadn't tempered his body with the Limit Stimulation Technique, he would have died already.

"Nothing special at all. Time for you to go to the afterlife," said Yu Cangsheng. He was surprised to see that Xiang Shaoyun was far weaker than he had imagined. He was even slightly disappointed. He aimed his palm at Xiang Shaoyun's head, aiming to smash Xiang Shaoyun's head apart and end their battle.

"You won't be able to kill me so easily," said Xiang Shaoyun as he endured the pain and released his Imperial Nether Domain, trapping Yu Cangsheng within.

Compared to before, the Imperial Nether Domain had become even larger. During the clash between Daoist Wudao and his Nether Soul Dragon Headband, the Imperial Nether Domain was nearly destroyed. But after recovering from the damage, the domain had grown, becoming bigger and stronger than before.

The moment Yu Cangsheng entered the domain, he felt his combat strength drop rapidly. His expression changed as he hurriedly took out a feathered fan. After channeling his energy into the fan, he swung at the edge of the domain with a roar, "Break!"

A green crane flew out of the fan with a shriek. Its green feathers flickered about and shot forward to blast a way out of the Imperial Nether Domain.

"Pointless struggle," said Xiang Shaoyun with a fiendish look in his eyes. He had an intense desire to kill Yu Cangsheng.

The Imperial Nether Domain no longer had the support of a soul foundation. However, it retained its original functions. Countless chains shot out and clashed against the feathers. Some of the chains also shot toward Yu Cangsheng.

Yu Cangsheng mustered all his strength, shrouding his body in a green radiance as he tried to protect himself from the chains. Equipped with a peak saint-grade fan, he was able to prevent the chains from shackling him.

However, Xiang Shaoyun was the ultimate master of this domain. He could create endless chains at will and attack from all directions, making it incredibly difficult for one to defend against the chains. Moreover, the chains were incredibly powerful. They were able to smash through Yu Cangsheng's defensive barrier before wrapping around him.

"Damn it! Piss off!" Yu Cangsheng roared as he struggled against the chains. However, the domain was completely devoid of astral energy while his overall strength was greatly suppressed. Thus, his struggles were pointless.

Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to completely capture Yu Cangsheng, a powerful attack came from outside the domain. Uncle Lai, who had arrived with Yu Cangsheng, had made a move.

The old man had a broken ruler in his hand. He was sending attack after attack at the space where Xiang Shaoyun was. From the strength of his attacks, he was clearly a Great Saint. He was attempting to tear Xiang Shaoyun's Imperial Nether Domain apart.

"Release our clan leader, or we will fight you to the death!" demanded Uncle Lai with the expression of someone ready to die.

A regular person would not be able to sense the Imperial Nether Domain, but Saints could detect the domain's location by observing the changes in space. Uncle Lai was weaker than Yu Cangsheng, but the broken ruler he wielded was no ordinary weapon. It could deal considerable damage to Xiang Shaoyun's Imperial Nether Domain.

Xiang Shaoyun wanted to drag Uncle Lai into the domain as well, but Uncle Lai was already on guard against the domain. While attacking, Uncle Lai maintained a certain distance between himself and the domain, not giving Xiang Shaoyun a chance to drag him in. The ruler was incredibly powerful. Finally, Xiang Shaoyun was forced to withdraw the domain and released Yu Cangsheng.historical

"Clan leader, come back! I'll face him with the Sky Measuring Ruler!" said Uncle Lai joyfully.

Yu Cangsheng rushed toward Uncle Lai. There, he heaved a breath of relief and said, "The Imperial Nether Clan's Imperial Nether Domain is truly quite terrifying. Luckily, the Sky Measuring Ruler is enough to deal with him."

But when they finished talking, they found that Xiang Shaoyun had disappeared.
