Chapter 1813: Contending Against Baili Xiongshi
"Hehe, what a naive child," said Baili Xiongshi with a sneer. "If I can really break through at the Myriad Planet Field, I would have gone there long ago. Why would I be staying at this shitty place trying to think of a way?"
"Do you mean that you have accepted your fate, senior?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.
"Of course I won't accept fate. Over the years, I have tried countless methods. Ultimately, I found out that I can take the final step by absorbing the world root essence. I did not expect Ge Yi to get what I wanted before me. Now, I can capture you and have Ge Yi hand over the world root essence. Perhaps that will be my way to take the final step!" Then, Baili Xiongshi unleashed a palm formed of death energy toward Xiang Shaoyun.
The palm was overbearingly powerful, instantly covering the sky to form an inescapable cage. That was the dreadful strength of someone at peak Nine Revolutions Realm.
Xiang Shaoyun sensed the trace of an undefeatable aura from the attack, but he showed no fear. Rather, thick battle intent erupted from him as nine colors rippled over his body. A dragon and a tiger manifested and roared beside him, displaying his unwavering and undefeatable willpower.
"Break!" He attacked with all his strength, unleashing a terrifying strength with his nine-colored energy. His attack seemed unstoppable, as though it was the explosion of a star.
The two attacks collided, and Xiang Shaoyun was able to avoid being captured. However, the impact still sent him flying far away. The gap between the two became obvious.
"Not bad," said Baili Xiongshi as he charged out from under the ground.
He appeared in his ancient jade coffin. The coffin was shrouded by primal chaos energy, looking incomparably noble. Xiang Shaoyun did not seem fearful at all. After cultivating in seclusion for a hundred years, he might not be as strong as Baili Xiongshi, but he had gained enough strength to retreat safely if he wanted.
"Senior, after nine full revolutions, one shall welcome the reincarnation. For you to insist on breaking through with external force, wouldn't that be a lower-tiered breakthrough? I still think that going to the Myriad Planet Field is better. Perhaps that will be the true path toward the final step," said Xiang Shaoyun.
"What the hell do you know? Every person will be linked by fate to the planet they were born on. That is very crucial when it comes to that final step. For that step, one needs more than to welcome reincarnation. One even needs to welcome the planet's reincarnation as well. Only then can one step into the undefeatable realm," said Baili Xiongshi with disdain.
Right after saying that, the primal chaos energy around his coffin lashed out at Xiang Shaoyun. Instantly, the coffin appeared before Xiang Shaoyun and knocked into him. Xiang Shaoyun reacted speedily. The Primal Inception Wall took form immediately and blocked the coffin. However, he was still sent flying far away with cracks on his wall.
Still trying to persuade Baili Xiongshi, Xiang Shaoyun said, "You take the path of the weak. Each cultivator's path is like rowing a boat upstream. If you stop moving forward, you fall back. You have stayed here for countless years without obtaining the world root essence. That is already a kind of regression. If you don't take the final leap, you will be stuck at this level forever."
"Stop wasting your time. Yes, there is a chance I can take that step at the Myriad Planet Field, but that place is guarded by undefeatable experts. I stand no chance. The dominion's world root essence is my only shortcut!" Once again, the coffin attacked, utilizing even more strength this time.
Boom!
The overwhelming attack cracked the sky itself. Even when Xiang Shaoyun was defending with all his strength, he still felt like his body was on the verge of being turned into mincemeat.
He stopped defending. He formed a seal with both hands, instantly manifesting a terrifying black hole. The black hole was surrounded by the power of yin and yang, and it seemed to be capable of reversing the heavens themselves, showcasing a terrifying level of strength. When the coffin collided against the black hole, its primal chaos energy surged to the point it felt like the primal chaos world had reappeared.
The black hole exploded.
Pu!
Xiang Shaoyun was sent flying again while coughing blood. Inwardly, he exclaimed, The gap between us is still quite big. He stopped fighting and turned around to leave.
Baili Xiongshi did not give chase. The coffin stayed there for a while before returning to the Wumo Pass. Inwardly, he thought, Reaching such a level at this age…truly worthy of possessing the one physique stronger than the Primal Chaos Physique, the Primal Inception Physique. However, you won't be able to stop the dominion's disaster. The moment the dominion starts its fall, the world root essence will be mine.
The short exchange taught Xiang Shaoyun about the gap between him and a peak Nine Revolutions expert. However, how many people in existence could even reach Baili Xiongshi's level?
He went straight to the main battlefield of humanity and the Anti-Human Army.
After the aliens and devils had joined hands, they had started their final suppression of humanity. All who resisted were slaughtered without mercy.
The human army and the Anti-Human Army had gone through numerous bloody battles, and countless humans had died. At the same time, many devils and aliens had died as well. This was a war where rivers of blood flowed. A vast amount of damage was left in the dominion, and many terrains were altered. The dominion was no longer the same place it once was.
The ones who suffered the most from the war were the common people. They weren't strong enough and were denizens of the mundane world. However, the flames of war would not spare them just because they were mundane.
Wherever the Anti-Human Army reached, countless humans were turned into rations. Tears and suffering were everywhere as the hellish scene spread far and wide. Eventually, Xiang Shaoyun reached his breaking point. He landed on the ground and started wiping out the Anti-Human Army members. He did not attack alone. Rather, he released different groups in accordance with the strength of the enemies he encountered.
Beside him, Zhuge Zhantian said, "Overlord, this will be the time for you to court popular support. You can't miss out on this opportunity."
"Um. Time for our Overlord Legion to reappear," said Xiang Shaoyun.
Then, he took out a war banner and handed it to Zhuge Zhantian. "Zhantian, you will be in charge of wiping out these Anti-Human Army members. Spread the fame of our Overlord Legion."
This war banner was the banner formed from the countless battle souls he had gathered in his previous life. After he had reforged the banner, it had turned into a top-tier divine weapon.
Zhuge Zhantian knelt down on one knee and said, "Zhantian receives his command!"
And thus, Zhuge Zhantian led an army of a hundred thousand and started wiping out the Anti-Human Army with the war banner in his hand. Additionally, Little White and Little Azure also gathered the demonic beasts all over the world to work alongside the Overlord Legion.
The Overlord Legion had once again showed itself to the world!
