I Am Overlord

Chapter 1782: Internal Conflict

Drifting wreckage of broken warships filled the area, alongside countless severed limbs and crippled souls. A calamitous scene greeted their eyes, shocking them so much that they felt like fainting. Just like that, hundreds of thousands of aliens were slaughtered.

That was a scene that would remain in their mind for eternity, and their impression of Xiang Shaoyun rose to a new high. All of them sincerely praised that he was truly a worthy disciple of a fine master. With Xiang Shaoyun's terrifying combat strength, he could probably defeat even those several stages above him.

After dealing with the aliens, Xiang Shaoyun intended to continue standing guard and waiting for more aliens. But at this time, he received news that the dominion had fallen into chaos. The devils, demonic beasts, and zombies were carving up the dominion for themselves.

Xiang Shaoyun was especially worried about the fact that the Zombie God was trying to conquer the entire Western Desert and turn it into a land of zombies. The Zombie God had summoned twelve terrifying God Realm zombies from an unknown source. Each of them was a peak God that did not seem to fear death. They were capable of facing any opponent in the same realm, and even the old monster from the Yu Clan had failed to defeat one of the twelve zombies.

Reigning above the twelve was the Zombie God, someone powerful enough to fight those in the Nine Revolutions Realm. One ought to know that the Zombie God was once suppressed by Venerable Yuan Shi himself. Otherwise, the Zombie God would have long spread his hegemony all over the dominion.

The lord guardian, Huang Tian, had fought the Zombie God several times. At first, Huang Tian was still slightly stronger than the Zombie God, but as time passed, the Zombie God grew stronger and stronger.

Slowly, they started fighting each other to a draw. As of recently, the Zombie God even managed to seriously injure Huang Tian. A terrifying corpse poison was planted in Huang Tian's body, almost crippling Huang Tian's ability to fight. Since the Ziling Sect was located in the Western Desert, it would most definitely fall victim to the Zombie God's conquest.

"If I can't even protect my home, how am I supposed to protect the dominion? Return!" decided Xiang Shaoyun decisively upon hearing the news.

In any case, the aliens would not return anytime soon after repeated setbacks. It was more important for him to deal with the zombies for now. He would not allow anything to happen to the Ziling Sect and those close to him.

And thus, Xiang Shaoyun brought a large majority of his people back to the dominion, leaving only a small portion to keep watch in outer space. He would return when the aliens were spotted again. historical

As for Dugu Qiubai, he had remained. However, he also asked Xiang Shaoyun to do him a favor by watching over the True Martial Academy for him. The True Martial Academy might be the strongest of the four ancient academies, but it still wasn't immune to danger.

Xiang Shaoyun naturally agreed. He moved ahead of his people and rushed back at top speed. Since most of them still weren't in his inner circle, they weren't granted the benefit of being taken into his astral cosmos sea.

Meanwhile, those in his astral cosmos sea had broken through repeatedly. After all, they had been there for many years. A day outside was equivalent to a year inside. Thus, a year outside equaled three hundred and sixty-five years. All in all, they had cultivated for over one thousand years in the astral cosmos sea.

With time and their incredible talent, it was basically impossible for them not to grow. Both Devil Concubine and Song Tiandao had reached ninth-stage God Realm, catching up to Yu Caidie. Money had also reached ninth-stage Demon God Realm. After several evolutions, he had evolved into a powerful heavenly dragonsnake.

Xia Liuhui, Liang Zhuangmin, Liu Qingyang, Despair, and Lady Shura had also reached fifth-stage God Realm and above. Those from the older generation, like Scarlet Flame Monarch, Devouring Ghost, and Green Ghost, weren't too slow in their growth either. However, due to their lack of potential, they were only able to reach sixth-stage God Realm. It would be rather hard for them to reach a higher realm.

Nevertheless, there was no doubting that they had enough strength to be considered a powerful group wherever they went. They had also surpassed the strength of many ancient organizations.

As for the others, not one of them was weaker than the Great Saint Realm. Many had managed to enter the God Realm. One could say that any of them was strong enough to stand on their own.

It was worth noting that they were all part of Xiang Shaoyun's inner circle. They were no regular soldiers. The moment Xiang Shaoyun reached the dominion, he sensed the dominion's changes. The ambient energy in the air had turned chaotic, and battles were happening all over the dominion.

Outside the dominion, Gods were clashing against each other. There was no way for Xiang Shaoyun to not notice those fights due to how intense they were. After sensing a familiar aura, Xiang Shaoyun flew in one direction.

There, he found his father and the Holy Hall's master being surrounded by a group of experts. These experts were none other than the Di Sovereign of the Di Clan, the Second Yu Ancestor of the Yu Clan, and several Gods from the two clans.

A few years ago when chaos first erupted in the dominion, Xiang Shaoyun had sent his father and a group of people back to protect the sect. Unsurprisingly, danger had indeed come knocking.

However, the danger had come from fellow humans. As a peak eighth-stage God, Xiang Yangzhan was strong enough to face ninth-stage Gods. He had enough strength to stand on his own in the dominion. The Di Sovereign and Yu Second Ancestor were both ninth-stage Gods. When the two attacked together, things became dangerous for Xiang Yangzhan.

However, Xiang Yangzhan was an expert who had fought on the outside battlefield. He was able to stand strong even when facing both of them. However, that was not the case for the Holy Hall's master, Tuoba Taishan, who wasn't a match for Yu Third Ancestor and the other Gods.

Over the years, Tuoba Taishan had broken through again to reach fifth-stage God Realm. However, Yu Third Ancestor was stronger than him. The other Di Clan experts were also no weaker than fourth-stage God Realm. Thus, it was difficult for him to face them all alone.

"Stop struggling. As long as you submit to the Yu Clan, we will let you live," said Yu Third Ancestor with a smug smile.

"Your fart smells terrible," said Tuoba Taishan as he swung his axe repeatedly. Each swing was extremely powerful, akin to the collapse of an entire mountain range.

Unfortunately, Yu Third Ancestor was able to crush all his attacks with a fiery sword. He then dashed forward and stabbed at Tuoba Taishan's heart. The others took the chance to aim at Tuoba Taishan's vitals as well, breaking through Tuoba Taishan's defenses and spilling a large amount of blood.

Then, Yu Third Ancestor decapitated Tuoba Taishan, forcing Tuoba Taishan's soul to fly out in panic.

After grabbing Tuoba Taishan's head, Yu Third Ancestor looked at Xiang Yangzhan and demanded, "Xiang Yangzhan, I've cut off your in-law's head. How long are you going to keep struggling?"

That distracted Xiang Yangzhan. A vicious bombardment from the Di Sovereign and Yu Second Ancestor struck him, nearly killing him.

"Submit, or the entire Ziling Sect will be slaughtered!" threatened Di Sovereign.

Right this moment, a cold voice rang out, "You think people like you are qualified to demand our surrender?"
