I Am Overlord

Chapter 1354: Versus Di Mie

The Di Clan was an ancient clan that had existed in the Western Desert since 100,000 years ago. They once occupied large swathes of land and ruled as an imperial clan. As a displaced imperial clan, they had thick foundations, giving them the right to propose a marriage with the Yu Clan.

As a prince of the Di Clan, Di Mie cultivated numerous powerful battle techniques from his clan. The seal technique he currently used was split into three seals, Human Monarch Seal, Earth Monarch Seal, and Celestial Monarch Seal, with the latter seals being incredibly powerful. Even when using only the first seal, Di Mie could unleash great destruction.

A flaming palm crushed forth toward Xiang Shaoyun with the might to overturn seas and rivers, leaving collapsed space in its wake. When Xiang Shaoyun sensed the might behind the attack, he finally understood the source of Di Mie’s confidence. No ordinary Saint could survive this attack.

Xiang Shaoyun did not intend to hold anything back. If he couldn’t escape, he would probably die here. Powerful lightning energy wrapped around his saber and his body as he swung the saber again.

Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique, one slash to obliterate the stars.

Along with Xiang Shaoyun’s increase in cultivation, he gained the ability to utilize the latter stances of the Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique. With one slash, the entire world seemed to change colors. The slash carried the prowess to obliterate stars and perfectly utilized the profundity of lightning.

The two attacks collided, resulting in numerous explosions while shockwaves spread in all directions. The surrounding onlookers hurriedly distanced themselves from the battlefield. The Heavenly Snow Mountain was surprisingly resilient as it suffered no damage despite the massive battle unfolding on it.

When the dust settled, both Xiang Shaoyun and Di Mie could be seen standing perfectly fine. However, Xiang Shaoyun seemed to have retreated slightly further away. After all, his cultivation level was lower. It was already an amazing feat for him to survive Di Mie’s attack.

When Di Mie saw that Xiang Shaoyun was fine, he looked unhappy as he said, “Not bad at all. Worthy of being a devil. However, I’m not even fighting seriously yet. I’m going to end you now.”

Declared Di Mie arrogantly as he prepared to launch another attack. Xiang Shaoyun naturally wouldn’t give him the chance to do anything. Fully utilizing his wind energy and second stage footwork intent, Xiang Shaoyun charged Di Mie.

As he advanced, he swung his saber several times, using the Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique consecutively. Each slash was more terrifying than the slash before it, and dark clouds were gathering in the sky. Next, endless lightning bolts rained down on the ground below. The rain of lightning gave Di Mie a fright. Even a Saint would have some difficulty dealing with such a destructive bombardment.

“This is a worthless struggle,” said Di Mie as he sent another deep blue palm flying out. The palm blasted away all the lightning bolts and energy sabers, advancing with unstoppable momentum. When using his full strength, he could kill even fourth-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivators, much less a ninth-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator like Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun was already using his soul foundation to suppress Di Mie, but it wasn’t effective. Even the rain of lightning wasn’t working too well. He had to do something else.

Fiery Lightning Storm!

Combining three energies, he erupted with wind, lightning, and fire, dying the world a reddish-purple color.

Earth Monarch Seal!

Di Mie was also fighting with all his strength. A noble aura burst out of him, showcasing his majestic bearing. A terrifying seal manifested before him and blasted the fusion energy near him away before crushing forth toward Xiang Shaoyun like a tsunami of flame. The fiery palm advanced with the might to raze and flatten everything in its path.

A series of explosions erupted yet again as countless shockwaves rippled out. The fiery palm successfully erased Xiang Shaoyun’s attack and continued advancing toward him. Di Mie’s flame energy was as powerful as Yun Flame. With Di Mie amplifying the flame energy, even a third-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator would die before the palm.

Xiang Shaoyun’s main body had yet to enter the Heaven Battling Realm, and he intended to keep hiding his devil cultivation for now. Thus, he had to think of a way to obtain victory in this clash. A human skin suddenly appeared before him. The moment the skin appeared, the ocean of flame before him started retreating, surprising all onlookers.

With the flame energy’s retreat, Xiang Shaoyun easily resisted the palm attack. He then charged forward, the energy around him changing into yin and yang. The two energies spun and formed the Yin Yang Diagram. He replaced the Overlord Skyslaying Saber in his hand with the Radiant Saint Sword as he swung at Di Mie.

Instant Tempo!

The dao of time, one of the most powerful daos in existence. With one slash, time itself stopped. If this was a year ago, the technique wouldn’t have worked against a third-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator like Di Mie. But as Xiang Shaoyun had grown considerably, his attack had naturally become powerful enough to stun Di Mie momentarily.

The sword swung toward Di Mie’s head like a rainbow of light. Unfortunately, Di Mie was able to regain his consciousness at the very last moment. He hurriedly dodged aside, causing the sword to land on his shoulder instead.

Clank!

Instead of cutting into Di Mie’s shoulder, the sword was stopped by the armor he wore. Apart from being forced to withdraw a considerable distance away, Di Mie was uninjured. Before Di Mie could launch a counterattack, Xiang Shaoyun’s second attack came: As Time Goes By.

Just as Di Mie was about to attack, he had a sensation that his entire body was aging rapidly. His life force started draining from his body, and he instantly turned into a middle-aged man. He exclaimed in panic, “W-what’s going on?”

As Time Goes By was a technique that could accelerate the flow of time, causing one to find that one had aged without realizing it. How panicked would one be if one found that one had suddenly aged?

Di Mie’s heart was engulfed in boundless panic. His ambitions were still unrealized, and the world still awaited his conquest. He could not accept the fact that he had aged away just like that.

“Die!” Xiang Shaoyun’s eyes had turned red from fury as he aimed his sword at Di Mie’s throat.

It was at this time that a blast of energy arrived from not far away and dragged Di Mie away. A different blast of energy arrived and struck Xiang Shaoyun’s body.
