I Am Overlord

Chapter 1522: The Might of the Two Women

With Huang Tianji's sharp ears, he could naturally hear what the surrounding people were saying. His face sank as he found it hard to explain himself. If he was to retreat now, that would be the same as slapping his own face. He felt incredibly awkward and uncomfortable.

At this time, someone was miserably dropping from the sky, leaving a trail of blood in his path. Everyone looked up to discover that the seriously injured person was none other than Poison Saint Gao Zhongyuan, who was with Huang Tianji before.

Devouring Ghost also descended and overlooked the Poison Saint as he said, "If it wasn't for the fact that devils are present, I would have killed you for the Overlord." His domineering declaration caused the morale on Huang Tianji's side to drop. Some even started feeling guilty for what the third prince had done.

"Third brother, let's go," persuaded Huang Xiaoyue after lightly pursing her lips.

The third prince took a deep breath and agreed, "Fine. Let's go." He then spoke loudly to Xiang Shaoyun, "Xiang Shaoyun, you still have devil blood flowing in your veins. I hope that you're not a spy of the devils. Otherwise, I'll be the first to act against you!"

The third prince was not a fool. His final words were, without a doubt, the smartest thing to say in his current situation. He reminded everyone that Xiang Shaoyun was once known as a devil. He voiced his worry that Xiang Shaoyun was a spy of the devils, placing himself on the moral high ground, yet again telling everyone that what he had just done was completely acceptable.

Xiang Shaoyun merely smiled. For him, scaring Huang Tianji away without fighting personally was good enough of an accomplishment. Of course, Huang Tianji wouldn't let this slide. If he dared to do Xiang Shaoyun dirty, Xiang Shaoyun wouldn't mind giving the third prince a lesson he wouldn't forget.

"This place is still a tad bit too empty. It would be much better to have a protection formation here," muttered Xiang Shaoyun as he started laying down a formation in the encampment.

With his strength, it wouldn't be hard for him to speedily lay out some formations. He only needed an illusionary formation and a defensive formation to stop regular people from intruding upon their encampment. After spending a day laying down the formations, he took out 18 flags from his astral cosmos sea. These flags were the same ones he had taken from the scholar Hua Ruren, and they would act as the two formations' formation eyes.

The 18 flags were also saint weapons. The moment they were stabbed into the formation eyes, the formations started glowing, forming a small barrier surrounding the encampment. With that, the encampment had obtained the protection of a barrier.

A regular person wouldn't be able to see them, and that applied to the devils as well. As for those in the Saint Realm, even if they could see the encampment, they wouldn't dare to lightly intrude upon them because it would be the same as a provocation. Apart from those who enjoyed making trouble, nobody would do something so senseless.

"Alright. Now, we can finally be at peace here," said Xiang Shaoyun as he clapped in a satisfied manner.

After seven days, Yu Caidie and Devil Concubine returned safely. They had killed a decent number of devils and had also attracted numerous Saints. However, after witnessing their terrifying combat strength, nobody dared to easily provoke them.

There was an incident where a reckless Saint tried courting them. As a result, he was thrown through the Devil Domain's entrance, greatly frightening many of the Saints around them. They finally realized that if they weren't strong enough, they probably shouldn't provoke these beautiful yet thorny roses.

Xiang Shaoyun then sent a different group to the front lines. This group was headed by Lang Chen with some wolf guards and new Ziling Sect members in the group. Hu Meihui also volunteered to head out with this group, as she was not willing to be outdone by anyone.

Xiang Shaoyun did not stop her. In any case, anyone who comes to this battleground would need to prepare for death. On this battlefield, things wouldn't always remain bright and shiny, as those devils were not to be underestimated.

As for Xiang Shaoyun, he continued cultivating in silence. He mainly focused on digesting the two strands of God Realm energy left by Venerable Yuan Shi. He slowly made the two strands into a part of his strength, rapidly enhancing his cultivation.

Apart from that, he also sent his soul clone out. With the clone, he started meditating on the many battle techniques he had obtained from all the enemies he had slain over the years. He memorized every one of these techniques, making it easier for him to properly display the might of his nine elements.

He aimed to learn and fuse the many techniques to create a path more suited for him. Perhaps when he was done, he would be able to start comprehending the profundity of primal inception.

As time went by, the 300 people Xiang Shaoyun had brought had obtained different degrees of tempering on the battlefield. They had slain many devils and earned many contribution points, but some had also perished on the battlefield. That was the cruelty of war.

In fact, during Hu Meihui's first excursion into the battlefield, a Devil Saint had nearly killed her. Fortunately, she had erupted with her eight-tailed talent and barely survived. Eventually, Xiang Shaoyun was forced to heal her with the profundity of life. Through that bitter experience, she managed to take one big step forward, becoming even closer to the pseudo-Saint Realm. One could say that she had profited from the disaster.

Apart from cultivating in silence, Xiang Shaoyun also occasionally fought. However, each time he made a move, his opponent would be a Great Devil Saint. Regular opponents wouldn't be able to give him any pressure.

One day, Yu Caidie and Devil Concubine joined hands against a Great Devil Saint. Yu Caidie was slowly starting to regain her strength from her previous life. She had reached the sixth-stage Heaven Battling Realm and was slightly stronger than Devil Concubine. As for Devil Concubine, she had reached the fifth-stage Heaven Battling Realm. With her dao of time, her offensive power wasn't much weaker than Yu Caidie's.

Initially, the Great Devil Saint had set its eyes on Yu Caidie, and Yu Caidie had displayed an impressive ability to punch above her class. She had enough strength to contend against peak Devil Saints, but unfortunately, her opponent was a Great Devil Saint. Seeing that she was having a hard time, Devil Concubine joined the fight and fought alongside her. historical

It was undeniable that some of Xiang Shaoyun's goals in having the two in the same team had been achieved. They had warmed up considerably to each other. Although they had failed to kill the Great Devil Saint, they had still inflicted heavy injuries to the devil, forcing the devil to flee. Their extraordinary performance caused more and more people to know about them as their names spread far and wide.

Within the Dusk Dynasty, a certain Great Saint had been greatly smitten by the two. He vowed to make one of them his. This Great Saint had a strong background, as he was a marquis of the Great Han Dynasty. His name was Liu Chun, the descendant of a marquis from several generations ago.

He had become a Saint at 500 years old. Upon becoming a Great Saint at 1,000 years old, the Great Han Dynasty had finally decided to put him to use once again. This time, Liu Chun was in charge of leading the Great Han Dynasty's army to help the Dusk Dynasty in their war efforts against the devils.
