I Am Overlord

Chapter 1618: Foreboding

"What a powerful combat strength. Xiang Shaoyun, you're truly worthy of being my rival. After the end of the competition, I need to have a proper fight with you," remarked the man on the green jiao not far away.

That man was none other than Dongfang Wudi. He proclaimed himself to be unequaled, hence the "Wudi" in his name. He naturally had the strength to back that proclamation. After all, not everyone would dare to give themselves such a name.

He was the most talented youngster to have emerged from the Dongfang Clan in the last 10,000 years. Like the Yu Clan, the Dongfang Clan was an ancient clan that could not be underestimated.

Dongfang Wudi could hardly find any worthy opponents in the Eastern Pass nowadays. Thus, he had set his eyes further away. He had picked several cultivators as his future rivals, and Xiang Shaoyun was one of them.

Dongfang Wudi did not intend to fight Xiang Shaoyun now. He wasn't afraid but was waiting for the opportunity to perfect his dao. Only then would he be able to truly counter Xiang Shaoyun.

"The overlord is truly a freak," said Ouyang Chuanqi.

"You're not too bad yourself. I believe you won't be weaker than him in the future," said Han Chenfei as she nestled against Ouyang Chuanqi.

"Looks like I'm the only one who can take on the heavy burden of surpassing the boss in the future," said Xia Liuhui in a narcissistic fashion while rubbing his crew-cut hair.

In response, Min Rourou placed her hand on his forehead and asked, "Liuhui, did you catch a fever?"

Xia Liuhui was rendered speechless.

Meanwhile, Beiming Tianpeng had been sent flying by Xiang Shaoyun. His heavenly peng bloodline had enhanced his strength, granting him an incredible speed. However, how could anyone contend against Xiang Shaoyun's Primal Inception Physique when both were in the same cultivation realm?

Shan Dachuan commanded the others, "Everyone, attack together."

Once again, attacks rained down upon Xiang Shaoyun. Bright and multicolored attacks came at Xiang Shaoyun from all directions. An ordinary person would have no way of surviving such a scenario.

Shan Dachuan rushed toward Beiming Tianpeng, grabbed him, and quickly retreated. Beiming Tianpeng was the White Lotus Sect's holy son. Nothing could happen to him here.

Xiang Shaoyun showed no fear in the face of the onslaught, especially when the attacks were so scattered. With his movement technique, he drifted amid the attacks before approaching and killing the people attacking him.

At this time, Yu Caidie said, "We can't let the overlord fight alone. We need to fight as well."

"That's right. Take this chance to rob them of their points," said Devil Concubine in excitement.

And thus, they clashed against the White Lotus Alliance. The White Lotus Alliance had suffered a hit to their morale from Beiming Tianpeng's defeat. With the inclusion of Xiang Shaoyun's companions, they were quickly routed.

Many of them escaped in Shan Dachuan's direction, and some also escaped in different directions. A lot were killed and had their contribution points snatched. One could say that the White Lotus Alliance had suffered a complete defeat. They could no longer pose any threat to Xiang Shaoyun's group in the ancient battlefield.

After a short pursuit, Xiang Shaoyun's group encountered yet another group of aliens. After some small losses, they were able to kill all the aliens. The aliens were natural warriors, but their imprisonment in the ancient battlefield had forced them to reproduce in the battlefield. As a result, there was a gap between the strength of these imprisoned aliens and free aliens. Otherwise, the imprisoned aliens would be much trickier opponents.

Xiang Shaoyun's group continued their journey. They encountered fewer and fewer aliens, but they would still frequently encounter remnant souls and skeleton soldiers. They had also managed to gather some equipment and unique items from the battlefield.

Xiang Shaoyun did not hog everything for himself. The Yang Child Sword was already a big harvest for him. The other things they found were all split among his companions. As time passed, the group grew bigger and bigger, eventually reaching 600 people. They now looked much more formidable than before.

The group had also been named the Overlord Legion, and Xiang Shaoyun acted as the leader of the group. Their goal was to delve deeper into the aliens' territory.

A year had passed, and countless people had perished in the ancient battlefield. At the same time, many aliens had also been killed. Each clash between humans and aliens resulted in ruthless and intense slaughter.

As Xiang Shaoyun's group journeyed ahead, they discovered many human skins. When they sent some people to search around, they found that the human skins had just not left human bodies for long. In short, the skins weren't some ancient skins from the ancient war. The group discovered hundreds of such human skins, creating a rather eerie atmosphere around the group, giving them a sense of foreboding as they traveled.

"Just what kind of alien is so cruel? Why must they kill these humans in such a cruel fashion?" asked Tang Longfei with a frown.

"This style of murder resembles the blood demons, but it's not exactly the same either. The blood demons only feed on blood. They would have left the flesh alone," said Devouring Ghost.

"Looks like we will encounter some powerful fellows soon," said Baili Yixiao with a smile.

After a year of slaughter, everyone had a thick baleful aura around them, and their eyes contained a firm look of decisiveness.

Xiang Shaoyun felt uneasy, a feeling that hadn't previously arisen in him after he had entered the ancient battlefield. Even when encountering God Realm aliens or a large number of enemies, he had never felt so unsettled. One ought to know that during the past year, he had formed two more strands of God Realm energy, bringing him to fifth-stage pseudo-God Realm.

"What is it, exactly?" muttered Xiang Shaoyun with a frown.

The group continued advancing in constant vigilance, careful not to allow any unexpected accident to happen. historical

Abruptly, Xiang Shaoyun's keen ears heard miserable wails from far away. He immediately flew over like a hawk. Before leaving, he transmitted to the others, "Follow me from behind, but be careful."

With his speed, he arrived at the location of the wails in the blink of an eye. Before his own eyes, a human was transformed into a piece of human skin that slowly drifted down from the sky.

"What monster is here? Show yourself!" Xiang Shaoyun roared as he unleashed an energy attack.

Boom!

With his strength, a casual attack of his could kill even a Great Saint. Unfortunately, he failed to hit anything this time.

"Hehe, what a powerful body. It is perfect for me!" an odd voice rang out, a voice so ethereal that one wouldn't be able to determine where the speaker was.

Xiang Shaoyun calmed himself down and activated his divine dao eyes to take in his surroundings. Not even an ant could escape his eyes in his current condition. However, his enemy had unknowingly crept behind him. Tentacle-shaped energy shot out and wound around Xiang Shaoyun before he could even react.
