I Am Overlord Chapter 1624: Gathering of Powerhouses

Chapter 1624: Gathering of Powerhouses

Xiang Shaoyun's battle with the jadeflesh demon had attracted the attention of all the groups nearby. From the Guardians Guild, a decent number of pseudo-G.o.ds were observing the battle. They had wanted to issue a command to lend the Overlord Legion a hand, but they eventually decided to hold their forces back. The aggressive voices among their ranks played a big role in pus.h.i.+ng for that decision.

Among other groups, the younger generation's kings among Saints were all seriously observing the battle. None of them partic.i.p.ated in the fight. They were trying to both figure out Xiang Shaoyun's true strength and find out how strong the aliens were.

As the battle progressed, everyone felt a ma.s.sive pressure. The strongest ones among them were only pseudo-G.o.ds. None of them had entered the Rebirth Realm because not being G.o.ds was the requirement for the Heaven Battling Ranking Compet.i.tion. Those who had broken through would not be qualified to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion.

The energy undulations from the battle between Xiang Shaoyun and the jadeflesh demon had greatly surpa.s.sed what a pseudo-G.o.d was capable of. Very few of the onlookers had the confidence to face one of them in a fair fight.

From the Immortal Road Chamber's side, their leader, a young man, was radiating a brilliant golden light. With a surging battle intent, he said, "What an exciting battle. It makes my blood boil with excitement. I truly wish I could trample over all the aliens immediately."

From the Celestial Alliance, a celestial child with a considerably high rank among the celestial children muttered to himself, "Only a battle between true G.o.ds will be worth my time. Nothing else is worthy of my attention."

As for the Guangling Palace, no noise could be heard. They appeared aloof and indifferent, as though everything that had transpired was completely unrelated to them.

Among the Guangling Palace members was a woman with her face veiled. She was looking at Xiang Shaoyun anxiously as she clenched her fists and muttered, "Overlord, you must stay safe!"

That woman was none other than Dong Ziwan. From her presence among the Guangling Palace's group, the ident.i.ty of her master was obvious.

Meanwhile, both Xiang Shaoyun and the jadeflesh demon had suffered from their battle. Their bodies were ridden with wounds, and blood flowed incessantly. Even their inner organs and bones were visible from their wounds.

"Impossible! How can you contend against me?" roared the jadeflesh demon in disbelief.

He was a second-stage G.o.d capable of demonstrating the strength to kill even regular third-stage G.o.ds. However, he couldn't even defeat a human pseudo-G.o.d. That dealt a great blow to his confidence.

Xiang Shaoyun did not say anything. Instead, he was rapidly healing himself. He could feel that the sixth strand of G.o.d Realm energy was taking form within his astral cosmos sea.

That was the benefit brought about by his intense battle with the jadeflesh demon. Only by constantly pus.h.i.+ng oneself would one be able to squeeze one's potential and accelerate one's growth.

"Again!" roared Xiang Shaoyun as his battle intent surged.

Ignoring the wounds on his body, he mustered all his strength and charged the jadeflesh demon. He was determined to demonstrate his dominance and valor through this fight. He did not want to suffer a defeat against any alien. All he wanted was to kill all these aliens.

As the alien's flesh had been sliced open by the Divine Yin Yang Sword, recovery was difficult. The energies of yin and yang contained the dao of time, and if he wanted to accelerate his healing, he had to first expel the power of time from his body. Looking at Xiang Shaoyun approach fiercely, he actually retreated timidly.

"Come in here if you have what it takes. We won't spare you!" threatened the jadeflesh demon before hurriedly fleeing back into the core, making it impossible for Xiang Shaoyun to give chase.

"What a coward," said Xiang Shaoyun with derision as he dropped down on one knee. His hand was over the wound on his chest.

In truth, he had sustained heavy injuries from his fight with the jadeflesh demon. His biggest injury was dealt by the bright jade energy when it had struck his chest and had almost shattered his heart. Now, he had to prioritize healing himself.

The Overlord Legion hurriedly surrounded him and protected him from anyone who might take advantage of his injuries. Three days pa.s.sed quickly, and Xiang Shaoyun was as good as new. The strongest representative of the Guardians Guild had been deployed. He was Sheng Zhengyi, the direct disciple of a deputy guild master.

Sheng Zhengyi was a man with an imposing build. His eyes were oppressive, and he had a calm quality about his face. A righteous aura constantly swirled around him, giving off an inspiring sensation to everyone around him. He was a ninth-stage pseudo-G.o.d, someone capable of entering the Rebirth Realm at any time.

All the groups were convened, creating a gathering of over 10,000 Saints, forming a group so powerful it seemed to be in defiance of the natural order. They worked together to surround the core alien territory.

Sheng Zhengyi's sonorous voice rang out. "Everyone, we only have half a month before our one year is up. This is our final hunt. Thus, it is up to us whether we can wipe them out once and for all. Who will be the ones to become the Heaven Battling Saintkings? Let us look forward to it!

"Whatever grudges you have between you, I hope you can put them aside for now. If anyone dares to fight among themselves during this battle, the Guardians Guild will officially declare that person as the sinner of the dominion."

"Don't worry. This immortal child will be the first to finish the ones who dare to instigate internal conflict," said a young man from the Immortal Road Chamber. The young man was constantly s.h.i.+ning with a golden radiance.

He was none other than Jin Jiehao, a ninth-stage pseudo-G.o.d ranked 19th among the immortal children.

"There are too many of us to attack together. I propose we move separately so that we won't create any unnecessary casualties from friendly fire," proposed a man from the Celestial Alliance who looked like a miniature giant.

He was much taller than a regular person, and his bulging muscles looked rather dreadful. He was Man Hu, someone born with the barbarian bloodline, ranked 16th among the celestial children.

"We have no issues with that arrangement," said an ethereal veiled woman from the Guangling Palace.

She was Lady Yue Xi, one of the Guangling Palace's 49 saintly palace ladies. These people represented the strongest groups in the ancient battlefield, and they were the candidates who were practically guaranteed to be the new Heaven Battling Saintkings.

Of course, among the partic.i.p.ants, there were also talented individuals whose strength couldn't be measured by their cultivation level alone. For example, Eastern Pa.s.s's Dongfang Wudi, Southern Wasteland's Ru Nan, Western Desert's Di Lin, Northern Border's Beiming Tianpeng, and some other up-and-coming youngsters could not be underestimated.

Apart from them, there were also some unknown individuals who had been hiding their strength. The moment they erupted with their true strength, they could even slay G.o.ds.

"In that case, each group will pick a different direction. Be sure to use all your strength. The Guardians Guild will take the direction directly facing them," said Sheng Zhengyi before leading a group of almost 2,000 Saints forward.

The other groups also each selected a direction and started their a.s.sault against the aliens.
