I Am Overlord

Chapter 1752: Fighting the Enemy Alone

The imperial young alien Gods slowly approached in eight ancient beast-shaped warships. On the ships, they were merrily chatting with relaxed expressions, not at all resembling a group heading to war. They were still very far from Xiang Shaoyun, but he had already sensed them.

The group of approaching aliens did not lack experts. When Xiang Shaoyun's senses reached them, an expert berated, "You dare spy on our army? Are you trying to die?"

Then, an incorporeal soul power blasted toward Xiang Shaoyun. The soul power skipped through space and advanced in the form of a domineering arrow. It was clearly an attack from a Nine Revolutions Realm expert. Even a ninth-stage God would be killed in one hit if struck.

Xiang Shaoyun did not expect the aliens to react so quickly. The moment he sensed the incoming danger, he saw the incoming soul arrow with his divine dao eyes. He formed a fist and threw it at the arrow.

Boom!

The arrow was blasted apart, and numerous spatial currents appeared and rippled away. When Xiang Shaoyun felt himself be pushed back somewhat, he realized that the attacker was someone beyond the God Realm. The attacker wouldn't have been so strong otherwise.

"The Nine Revolutions Realm aliens are coming!" muttered Xiang Shaoyun with a worried expression.

After some hesitation, he stepped into the void. With a resolute look in his eyes, he said, "Fine. Let me see just how strong the Nine Revolutions Realm aliens can be."

Xiang Shaoyun was already undefeatable at the God Realm and below. He needed stronger opponents to give him pressure. He wanted to borrow that pressure to push him toward the ninth stage. The aliens on the incoming warships all sensed Xiang Shaoyun's aura.

Seated on the leading warship was an old man from the bone race. He was basically a bag of bones with ghastly flames pulsing in his eyes. His gaze pierced through space and landed on Xiang Shaoyun. Then, his shrill voice rang out, "A top human genius has made his move. He was capable of withstanding Hun Hai's soul arrow. Which prince or princess is willing to take his head?"

Immediately, a prince from the bone race stepped forth and said, "Ancestor, I shall take his head."

He then leaped off the ship. Four bone wings spread out from his back as he flew toward Xiang Shaoyun. The bone alien was a peak eighth-stage God with the strength to face even ninth-stage Gods. Among the young alien Gods, he was ranked in the top 1,000.

Xiang Shaoyun naturally noticed the incoming bone alien. With an indifferent voice, he said, "Are you thinking of fighting me alone?"

Unsurprisingly, the bone alien's wings unleashed a storm of bones toward Xiang Shaoyun. Countless bone blades cut through space itself, turning space into nothingness. Each blade was powerful enough to shatter mountains, and there were so many that the attack seemed unstoppable.

Xiang Shaoyun did not bother using his Primal Inception Wall. He used his bare hands and made a grab for them. With his palms, he crushed the bone blades. Before the bone alien could react, Xiang Shaoyun grabbed the alien's head and roared, "Break!"

Boom!

A terrifying power of destruction erupted from his palms, crushing the alien's head, which was as tough as a god-grade stone. All the aliens exclaimed in alarm.

"Gu Gui is truly useless. He let a mere human grab and kill him? What an embarrassment to our army."

"Gu Hui isn't weak. That human is too strong. He probably isn't much weaker than us. I'll deal with him."

"No wonder our army was stuck so long battling near a single planet. So it turns out this planet has such a powerful human? Interesting."

"We're here to teach these humans a good lesson. Just kill him."

...

The aliens did not panic due to Gu Hui's death. Rather, they all brimmed with battle intent, eager to fight Xiang Shaoyun. Ultimately, a woodtangle demon won the right to fight Xiang Shaoyun. The woodtangle demons were a royal race. Each of them looked like a tree stump with countless vines growing around their body. This was quite an odd-looking species.

"Human, your blood must taste good. Become my fertilizer," said the woodtangle demon.

Then, countless vines shot at Xiang Shaoyun. The entire area around them seemed to have transformed into a world of vines. Nobody would be able to run from the vines. These vines were as powerful as god-grade weapons. Ordinary weapons wouldn't even be able to cut through them.

Xiang Shaoyun could sense that this woodtangle demon was much stronger than the previous bone alien. However, such an opponent still wasn't enough to pose a threat to him. He remained where he was and formed an energy blade before making a casual swing at the alien.

The blade was akin to an arrow of the great dao, advancing relentlessly. Powered by the primal inception profundity, it shone with a dazzling nine-colored radiance. A rainbow seemed to be streaking through space. The tough vines were cut one after another, none capable of stopping the blade.

The woodtangle demon was greatly shocked. He hurriedly withdrew his vines, forming a terrifying vine sword. He gathered all his strength on the sword, causing the sword to shine with a blinding green light as it slashed toward the incoming blade.

Vine Greatsword Slash!

This was the woodtangle demon's sword technique. Not only was it domineering, but it also contained powerful sword intent. Anywhere it passed, life ended. The sword and the blade collided, sending sword and blade fragments flying in all directions. The loud collision rumbled far from the center of the collision. Even the humans and aliens elsewhere sensed the collision.

"Who's fighting the aliens? It's so intense! I need to go take a look!" muttered Qin Jiu, who was cultivating his body while hidden in the void. He flew toward the ongoing battle. Two inconspicuous shadows quickly followed him.

Elsewhere, Gongsun Sanyang also sensed the battle. He similarly rushed over with his guardian elders. All the other young Gods also sensed the battle and hurried over. They all wanted to see just who was fighting the aliens.

"The overlord is fighting the aliens! I'll go take a look," said Yu Caidie from the camp. She then jumped onto her phoenix and shot away, leaving a streak of flame in her path.

Dugu Qiubai and the others did not stay idle either. Many of them followed behind Yu Caidie.
