I Am Overlord

Chapter 1604: Capturing God Realm Souls

Apart from human souls, there were also alien souls here. These souls were formed of their grievances prior to their deaths, and although they weren't as strong as when they were alive, they were still much stronger than regular pseudo-Gods. Some of them were even strong enough to battle actual Gods.

That was why very few people dared to clash against them head on. Of course, if one could defeat one of them, one might be able to obtain a part of the soul's memories from when it was alive. Obtaining an inheritance in that manner was a very tempting prospect for all cultivators.

These souls were mostly feared due to their unique attacks. Apart from material attacks, they could also invade the souls of living beings and take over their bodies, undergoing a unique way of rebirth. Of course, beings created in such a way would only be filled with thoughts of murder. They would not have a proper and complete thought process.

With the strength of Xiang Shaoyun's group, it would be hard for the group to deal with several God Realm souls at the same time. However, Xiang Shaoyun was confident he could defeat these souls.

His confidence stemmed from not only Gui Qi but also his Imperial Nether Domain and Nether Dragon Soul Curse. All these tricks were enough for him to deal with these souls.

By this point, he had recovered a decent amount of his strength. In fact, he hadn't even utilized his devil pearl yet. If he truly wanted to use all his strength, he could even take on a fresh Zi Yao all over again.

He had only been restricting his strength to give himself a sense of urgency. At the same time, he was also trying to push his people, forcing them to realize how dangerous the ancient battlefield was and squeeze out more of their potential. The souls charged them with powerful energy undulations that locked onto the group of humans. historical

Kill!

With a roar, the souls erupted with sinister auras and domineering energy undulations that surrounded Xiang Shaoyun's group. The waves of energy caused space to twist and warp, displaying a destructive ability that could easily kill pseudo-Gods.

"You're nothing but remnant souls. What's the point of struggling? Gui Qi, go!" said Xiang Shaoyun with a sneer as he unleashed Gui Qi upon the souls.

Gui Qi was already a peak Great Devil Saint. His soul attack could give even pseudo-Gods trouble, to say nothing of these remnant souls. Under his attacks, the remnant souls started wailing as they felt extremely threatened.

"Come in, all of you," said Xiang Shaoyun as he released his Imperial Nether Domain and trapped all the souls in it.

Not only could the Imperial Nether Domain suppress the strength of all living beings, but it could also suppress these damaged and incomplete souls. These souls did not even have a proper consciousness and could only attack by instinct. They were incapable of posing any threat to Xiang Shaoyun.

Nevertheless, it still wouldn't be an easy task for him to subdue them. He had to make use of the Nether Dragon Soul Curse to properly suppress all of them. With Xiang Shaoyun and Gui Qi working together, the souls were subdued before they could deal much damage.

Naturally, he hadn't turned them into his slaves. Rather, he had merely weakened them, making it so that they couldn't pose much threat to the others. The souls were stripped of the majority of their strength, and only the core of their existence was preserved.

While suppressing the souls, Xiang Shaoyun looked at the others and said, "These souls might give some of you instant benefits, but they might also affect your thoughts. Without a strong willpower, you might even suffer a backlash. Think it through and decide if you want to absorb them."

None of them showed fear. Instead, they had expectant looks. They were all talented individuals as evident by their ability to enter the Heaven Battling Realm. If they couldn't even control a soul, they could forget about reaching a higher height in cultivation.

Instead of giving the souls away to them, he said, "There is a limited amount of souls, and I can't give them to all of you immediately. I'll keep these souls for now and give them to the ones who perform well in the coming days. What do you think?"

"We're fine with that," everyone answered.

In any case, Xiang Shaoyun was the one who had captured the souls. They should be thankful that he was even willing to give the souls away.

"Good. Get some rest. We'll continue looking for more aliens after this," said Xiang Shaoyun.

After the repeated encounters with enemies, Xiang Shaoyun had become even more cautious. Regardless of whether it was the Guardians Guild or the Immortal Road Chamber, they would have powerful groups in the battlefield. He could easily escape when he was alone, but with so many comrades by his side, he would be burdened by them.

The group did not encounter more enemies or aliens, allowing them some respite. At this time, Devouring Ghost and the Four Night Saints returned. With their strength, they were able to delay the aliens for a short while before quickly fleeing. However, they had separated from Liu Qingchen during the process.

As Liu Qingchen was the strongest among them, he had also attracted the most attention from the aliens. In order to avoid bringing more trouble to Devouring Ghost and the others, he fled in a different direction.

In fact, Devouring Ghost and the Four Night Saints had suffered heavy injuries. After all, the aliens were no joke. If they were even a tad bit weaker, perhaps they would have failed to escape.

Xiang Shaoyun started healing them as he thought to himself, The aliens are all trapped here, so they definitely have their own living space somewhere in the battlefield. If I can enter their territory, I might be able to obtain even more contribution points. However, this will be a dangerous endeavour. There might even be God Realm aliens.

After a day of rest, the group had recovered considerably.

Xiang Shaoyun said, "All of you know that I have many enemies, including the Guardians Guild and the Immortal Road Chamber. They won't spare me, and all of you will face these enemies if you travel with me. Therefore, I need you to think carefully and decide if you want to continue traveling with me."

He only had some Ziling Sect and Overlord Legion members by his side. It might be fine for the Ziling Sect members to follow him, but the Overlord Legion wasn't exactly his. He might be the overlord of the legion, but it had been years since he had managed the legion.

Everyone answered unhesitatingly, "We're willing to follow the overlord to the death!"

Xiang Shaoyun looked at them with a gratified expression and said, "Good. From now on, we will do our best to hunt the aliens!"
