I Am Overlord Chapter 1473: The Overlord Is Crazy

Chapter 1473: The Overlord Is Crazy

The sea of fiery dragon clouds was an extremely high tier of flame. One could say it was a G.o.d-grade flame. In fact, the sea of fiery dragon clouds was a product of tens of thousands of years of acc.u.mulation at the outside domain. Any G.o.d Realm cultivator specializing in flame would prioritize absorbing the entire sea of fiery dragon clouds upon encountering one.

Because Purple Lightning Marquis was a lightning cultivator, he did not need any flame energy. As for Xiang Shaoyun, he was a cultivator of various energies, including flame energy. However, the sea of flame before him was too powerful. Even with his pseudo-G.o.d body, he would have a hard time resisting the flame.

The two fiery dragons moved rapidly and swallowed Xiang Shaoyun in the blink of an eye. The multicolored defensive barrier around Xiang Shaoyun might be powerful, but it was too thin for the two fiery dragons. Instantly, the barrier was burned into nothingness. With his pseudo-G.o.d body, Xiang Shaoyun could resist the flame that could turn even a Great Saint into ashes, but he wouldn't last too long. Suddenly, a piece of human skin flew out of Xiang Shaoyun's body and protected him from the flame.

"This skin is indeed something left behind by a G.o.d Realm expert who was immune to flame. The previous owner of this skin is definitely not a n.o.body," said Xiang Shaoyun in astonishment when he saw the human skin around him.

Many would find it hard to believe that a mere human skin could stop a G.o.d-grade flame.

Even Purple Lightning Marquis was filled with disbelief. "What's that thing around the overlord's body? It's way too powerful."

Purple Lightning Marquis believed that the overlord was someone capable of creating miracles. That was something the overlord had proven during his previous life. And in this life, the overlord was even stronger.

Seeing that the two fiery dragons couldn't do anything to Xiang Shaoyun, more fiery dragons rushed over and completely surrounded Xiang Shaoyun with a terrifying flame hot enough to melt even G.o.d-grade materials.

Even Xiang Shaoyun felt fearful upon seeing the flame all around him. Fortunately, the human skin completely isolated the flame from him. Otherwise, there was no way he would have been able to survive.

Xiang Shaoyun wasted no time and started absorbing the flame energy rapidly. When the flame energy entered his meridians, his meridians were nearly burned into nothingness. The immense torture caused his face to warp with pain.

It was fortunate that he had forged a pseudo-G.o.d body. Otherwise, just absorbing a single strand of the flame energy would have been enough to kill him. With his astonis.h.i.+ng willpower, he resisted the pain and smoothly absorbed the strand of flame energy into the astral cosmos sea.

Next, he hurriedly used the profundity of life to heal his injuries before pulling two strands of flame energy into his body. The flame energy around him was extremely powerful. Every strand of absorbed flame energy increased the amount of energy within his astral cosmos sea by a large amount.

Before this, Xiang Shaoyun was a peak second-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator. Now, he could feel that the third stage was getting nearer and nearer. After absorbing more of the flame energy, he started adapting to the flame. After absorbing 10 strands of flame energy, the energy acc.u.mulated in his astral cosmos sea reached the critical point. This was where he could opt to break through, but he suppressed the breakthrough to further strengthen his foundations.

The 10 strands of flame energy weren't G.o.d Realm energy, but they were still incredibly rich with energy. After refining all 10 strands, his second-stage cultivation level reached full completion. The next strand he absorbed could only be used to break through, or the energy would overflow from his body.

"All of you, get in here!" Xiang Shaoyun roared as a look of madness surfaced on his face. He had decided to absorb 100 strands of flame energy at once. At his pull, the 100 strands merged into a fiery dragon and charged into his body. His meridians and bones were subjected to intense burning. If it wasn't for the strands he had absorbed earlier, these 100 strands would have been enough to reduce him into ashes.

Eventually, the fiery dragon was absorbed into his astral cosmos sea. Inside the astral cosmos sea, the fiery dragon instantly transformed into a ma.s.sive amount of primal inception energy, pus.h.i.+ng his cultivation level to the next stage.

Wave after wave of energy circulated through his meridians before returning to his astral cosmos sea. Next, the energy entered his soul, completing his breakthrough to the third stage.

The moment he broke through, Xiang Shaoyun started absorbing the flame energy without limiting his absorption. A ma.s.sive amount of flame energy entered his body and became a part of his cultivation. After his breakthrough, he had gained the ability to resist the vast amount of flame energy.

Once again, the sea of fiery dragon clouds acted like an intelligent being. Upon sensing that it was losing energy at a rapid pace, it started fleeing from Xiang Shaoyun. As Xiang Shaoyun had just broken through and absorbed a ma.s.sive amount of energy, he did not give chase. Since Purple Lightning Marquis was worried about Xiang Shaoyun's safety, he did not give chase either.

"The overlord is truly crazy," muttered Purple Lightning Marquis when he saw what Xiang Shaoyun had done.

Even if he was the one to absorb the flame energy, he would have done it slowly and carefully. However, Xiang Shaoyun had actually forcefully absorbed such a large amount of the flame energy when he was only a third-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator without suffering any injuries. Even more surprising was the fact that his absorption had actually scared away the sea of fiery dragon clouds.

This was a sight that would fill anyone with disbelief. Anything would have a basic level of intelligence upon reaching the G.o.d grade. The sea of fiery dragon clouds was naturally not an exception.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Xiang Shaoyun woke up. A clump of powerful flame energy was revolving around his body. With a wave of his arm, the flame energy flew out like a raging dragon.

Saintfire Pillar Technique!

This was an extremely powerful great saint-grade battle technique. At present, Xiang Shaoyun could casually create six pillars using this technique, displaying enough prowess to easily burn a Great Saint to death.

This was proof of the G.o.d-grade flame's prowess and the might of Xiang Shaoyun's new cultivation level. With the increase of his cultivation, both his body and soul had also grown stronger. Perhaps after advancing two or three stages, he would be able to create a G.o.d-grade body.

Despite his breakthrough, he did not seem joyful. Instead, he looked somewhat regretful as he said, "What a pity that it had escaped. If I could have absorbed the entire sea, I could have reached peak third-stage."

After fusing all nine of his stars, he could easily transform any energy into primal inception energy. Thus, he no longer had any limitations when breaking through. So long as he had enough energy, he could continue breaking through. That was one of the benefits of having the Primal Inception Physique.

"Overlord, perhaps you're already capable of searching for G.o.d Realm energy at the outside domain like a regular G.o.d Realm expert," suggested Purple Lightning Marquis.

Xiang Shaoyun nodded. "That's right. After I finish my business here, I'll be able to leave the dominion and look for energy to increase my cultivation. I need to grow as fast as possible."
