I Am Overlord

Chapter 1689: Spider Clone

The skybreak spider was strong, but Xiang Shaoyun was also freakishly strong after breaking through. Eventually, the spider suffered a crushing defeat at his hands. The spider was a treasure trove in and of itself, so Xiang Shaoyun took in its entire corpse. He definitely wouldn't allow such a treasure trove to go to waste.

"I've grown considerably. If I encounter those top Devil Gods once again, I will be strong enough to face them," muttered Xiang Shaoyun with a pleased smile. historical

Huang Baiwu flew over and said, "Congratulations for growing even stronger, Young Master Xiang."

Huang Baiwu was confident in his own incredible talent, but Xiang Shaoyun was far more talented than him.

"How would I have broken through so fast without your divine sources?" said Xiang Shaoyun. "Baiwu, do you think that I've taken advantage of your clan?"

Huang Baiwu hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Don't say that. You did us a great favor by retrieving the Divine Dusk Truncheon for us."

"Um. I won't treat you unfairly. I have some milky way spring water here. It should be able to help push you to an even higher level," said Xiang Shaoyun with a nod as he handed some milky way spring water to Huang Baiwu.

In recent years, Huang Baiwu had lived a life of constant battles. He had reached peak fifth-stage God Realm and was only a step away from the sixth stage.

If Huang Baiwu cultivated at his regular speed, he would probably take years or even more than 10 years before he could take that step. But with the milky way spring water, he would take a much shorter time to break through.

Huang Baiwu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you for the gift, Young Master Xiang!"

Since he had already decided to support Xiang Shaoyun in his bid for the young guild master position, there was no need for him to shy away from Xiang Shaoyun's favors.

"Enter seclusion immediately and attempt your breakthrough. I'll keep watch for you," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"I'll be troubling you, overlord." Huang Baiwu changed the way he addressed Xiang Shaoyun. It was clear that he had finally fully submitted to Xiang Shaoyun.

Huang Baiwu constructed his own independent space. Inside it, he swallowed the milky way spring water and attempted to break through. As for Xiang Shaoyun, he sent his soul clone out and had his main body and clone train against each other.

In the past, his clone had always been hiding within his head to focus on comprehending the profundities of powers. That allowed his comprehension of the profundity of primal inception to deepen considerably. His mastery of shifting the nine powers and utilizing the profundities of powers had reached an unimaginable level.

His main body was able to immediately comprehend everything his clone had comprehended, giving him a massive advantage over other cultivators. Since his clone was still stronger than his main body, the training session between the two progressed through a unique method. His clone utilized the profundity of primal chaos, while his main body utilized the profundity of yin and yang.

The profundity of primal chaos had incredible powers of creation and destruction. As for the profundity of yin and yang, it was capable of accessing the power of time. Each profundity had its own advantage over the other.

"This is not enough. I need one more clone," muttered Xiang Shaoyun after a while. He stirred the devil pearl, and a clone noiselessly formed in the pearl. Next, a clone filled with thick devilish energy appeared before him.

That was a hollow clone. No matter how real it looked, unlike his first clone, it was not a body of flesh and blood. After all, the first clone was formed from a filthless soul, while this second clone was merely formed by the devil pearl. The two were essentially different levels of existence. The second clone only had about 10 to 20 percent of Xiang Shaoyun's strength. At most, it would only be able to fight a first-stage God.

"This clone is just like a regular consciousness clone. It's far from enough," muttered Xiang Shaoyun. He then pushed the devil pearl out of his forehead before sending it into the clone. The two merged, and the clone immediately looked more solid than before. Its strength also increased, reaching the level of a peak third-stage God.

Xiang Shaoyun's devil pearl was basically the same as a devil's devil core. Generally speaking, a devil core would not lightly leave a devil's body because it would be too vulnerable outside the body. However, it was different for Xiang Shaoyun. He had his astral cultivation to rely on so he wouldn't be weakened even after his devil pearl left his body.

"This clone is slightly weaker than my main body, but it is able to maximize my devil cultivation. It can even absorb devilish energy to continue growing. This is acceptable for a clone, I suppose," muttered Xiang Shaoyun, pleased.

He then had his main body and devil clone attack his soul clone at the same time. By sparring against himself, Xiang Shaoyun was able to deepen his understanding of his many battle techniques. He also gained additional understanding of his devil clone. In fact, there was a greater significance to the existence of that clone. It would be able to do many things for him.

He then summoned Gui Qi out and had Gui Qi bring his devil clone back to the Ziling Sect. He wanted to see if the devil clone would be able to bring him more surprises, such as finding out about the Ziling Sect through the clone. As Gui Qi was a Devil God of a decent level, he had an astonishing flying speed. Before long, he reached the Ziling Sect.

Xiang Shaoyun's clone returned to the grand hall. Nobody in the sect was able to see that it was just a clone. His main body was able to sense everything that was happening around the clone. His connection with his clone seemed to have remained through some unknown dimension.

In the grand hall, Devouring Ghost said to the clone, "Overlord, there is only one year before the young guild master is selected. Why are you back here instead of being at the Guardians Guild?"

"Haha. Devouring Ghost, even you can't see anything different about me?" asked Xiang Shaoyun with a hearty laugh.

Devouring Ghost, Scarlet Flame Monarch, and Green Ghost appeared confused. Only after some time did they notice that this Xiang Shaoyun was only a clone. Their eyes filled with astonishment.

They all knew that Xiang Shaoyun had already formed a solid clone, but this was clearly not the same clone. It seemed like the two were completely different levels of existence, yet this clone was clearly stronger than them. Thus, they became confused.

"Is this a powerful new clone created by the overlord?" asked Scarlet Flame Monarch doubtfully.

"Haha. Yes. This is my new clone. My main body is still in the Dusk Dynasty," said Xiang Shaoyun. "Are my father and Purple Lightning back?"

"No," replied Scarlet Flame Monarch. "Overlord, everyone is fighting over the young guild master position. If you don't mind having my old bones around, I would like to go and help."

"Yes, I wish to help as well!" said Devouring Ghost.

"If possible, I do not wish to miss out on something this grand either," said Green Ghost expectantly.
