I Am Overlord

Chapter 1730: Another Victory

Xiong Tianba was strong enough to turn an entire swath of space upside down. Even Xiang Shaoyun's power of time was smashed apart, no longer capable of threatening him. That was the strength of a ninth-stage alien God. He was strong enough to use brute force to solve everything. Xiang Shaoyun could not afford to keep holding back. He focused all his strength on the Divine Yin Yang Sword and unleashed an even more stunning time attack.

River of Time!

With that slash, a scene of time moving forward and backward manifested, giving one the impression that one could pursue the secret of any time period through the slash. Countless astonishing phenomena appeared alongside the river of time. The sun and moon kept replacing each other in an endless cycle, emanating an extraordinary aura.

That was most definitely Xiang Shaoyun's strongest sword attack, a sword attack his soul clone had been focused on training. It was also a technique he had created after studying the Divine Yin Yang Sword's accompanying sword technique.

The two attacks clashed, creating a disastrous explosion that caused space to twist and collapse. Anyone in the range of the explosion would instantly lose their life and have their body turned into fine powder.

The nearby combatants hurriedly fled as far as they could from the explosion, worried that they would be struck by a random shockwave. When they saw how terrifying the explosion was, their hearts turned cold, and they were reminded of how helpless they would be if they had to face such an opponent.

After the clash, Xiang Shaoyun and Xiong Tianba separated from each other. Xiang Shaoyun was greatly weakened after the clash because the sword slash had utilized a large portion of his energy and strength. As for Xiong Tianba, his body was cut into pieces, forcing him to regrow his body yet again, greatly exhausting his energy.

The two charged each other again, not stopping just because they had been weakened by the exchange. Their resilience would play a great role in determining the final victor.

Meanwhile, the rest of the battle was also becoming increasingly intense. Ling Ziruo could finally fight without holding anything back. Her dainty hands moved endlessly, continuously sending a pair of silver moons slicing through space, slashing through the aliens without stopping. Her unique physique was the best for battling in outer space because she could constantly hide within space itself.

Only an eighth-stage alien God could intercept her, but she was able to kill the alien God with her Divine Silver Moon Sword. One could say that below the ninth-stage God Realm, Ling Ziruo was unequaled.

However, there was also a young freak among the aliens. He was a seventh-stage God, yet his combat strength was no weaker than Ling Ziruo's. He was successful in stopping her pace of battle.

Meanwhile, Song Tiandao was also displaying remarkable combat strength. Both his sabers were akin to a pair of azure dragons, tearing through one alien after another. His domineering offensive prowess was no weaker than a fifth-stage God or even a sixth-stage God.

Apart from them, Devil Concubine was also no weaker than Song Tiandao. Her dao of time was slightly different from Xiang Shaoyun's time manipulation. However, it was equally as powerful. In fact, her time manipulation was accompanied by terrifying black holes that constantly reaped the lives of the aliens around her.

Scarlet Flame Monarch, Devouring Ghost, and Green Ghost did not have sufficiently high cultivation levels, but their battle intent was powerful. With their trump cards, they were all capable of fighting above their class.

This group of aliens might be led by powerful experts, but the other aliens in the group weren't exactly their elites. Furthermore, they had suffered heavy losses from the ambush. Thus, Xiang Shaoyun and company had kept them suppressed.

No matter how stunning the others performed, none of them could compare with Xiang Shaoyun. While his soul clone was dealing with Xiong Tianba, his main body released the Imperial Nether Domain to first take down the three-eyed race God before pulling more alien Gods into it. All of them were suppressed then killed. Xiang Shaoyun was like an unstoppable life-reaping machine.

Apart from that, even Xiang Shaoyun's devil clone was making a move. The devil clone attacked with devilish abilities that made it unequaled in the same cultivation level. In fact, the clone could even fight above its class.

One could say that since Xiang Shaoyun alone was fighting as three, he was much more useful than anyone else in this battle. Toward the end, more than half of the aliens were killed. And when Xiong Tianba nearly got himself killed fighting Xiang Shaoyun, the aliens finally started retreating.

Zhu Ganglie was supposed to be able to defeat the two ninth-stage Guangling Palace Gods, but due to Xiong Tianba's defeat, he was forced to retreat with Xiong Tianba. Very few cultivators could reach their level. Even a single death would be a massive loss that they couldn't accept.

Xiang Shaoyun knew very well that it wouldn't be easy to pursue and kill a ninth-stage God unless he was willing to throw all caution to the wind and use all his trump cards. However, the intense battle had exhausted him greatly. He did not have enough energy left to pursue them.

The moment the clone returned to Xiang Shaoyun's main body, a sense of weakness washed over him, forcing him to replenish himself with the ambient energy all around him. Because the ambient energy in outer space wasn't pure, one had to take more time to refine the energy before the absorbed energy could be truly one's own. However, that wasn't the case for Xiang Shaoyun. After all, no energy was of a higher tier than the primal inception energy. He could easily absorb all energies in existence.

Ling Ziruo and Song Tiandao led their people in chasing the escaping aliens, but they returned before long. They knew that Xiang Shaoyun needed protection at the moment and that they couldn't afford to be careless.

When they discovered that Xiang Shaoyun could fight a ninth-stage God, the little bit of arrogance in their hearts vanished, and they finally viewed Xiang Shaoyun as a leader.

Regardless of whether it was tactics or actual combat strength, Xiang Shaoyun was better than them. Perhaps he could really be a competitive candidate for the young guild master position.

A large majority of the aliens had been killed in the second ambush. In comparison, a much smaller number of them had been caught alive. After all, there were several powerful aliens present, and none of the humans could afford to hold back.

Xiang Shaoyun and company had also suffered some casualties. If it wasn't for Xiang Shaoyun, they might not have even been victorious.

"We need to settle down somewhere and recuperate immediately before thinking of our next step," said Xiang Shaoyun after recovering some of his energy.

They might have won, but they had also learned how powerful the aliens were. Without absolute strength, defeating the aliens head on wouldn't be easy.

When they were searching for a place to rest, a five-colored radiance suddenly lit up in the distance. The radiance attracted not only them but also the aliens and humans fighting on the other side of the battlefield.

Hun Latian and Huan Kuang, who were concealed amid the void, opened their eyes and muttered, "A primal chaos world actually appeared?"

Just as the two were about to charge toward the five-colored radiance, Ge Yi's voice rang out, "If you dare to move, I'll kill you immediately!"
