I Am Overlord

Chapter 1639: Intense Clash

Xiang Shaoyun's Three Lives Fist was released in its strongest state, unleashing a might far higher than what his main body was capable of. Facing the incoming attack, Blood Spirit assumed a solemn expression as he formed a body with three heads and six arms. The six powerful arms then started swinging.

Revolving Arm Punch!

Blood Spirit unleashed an equally stunning attack. Each of his punches seemed capable of causing the world itself to undergo rebirth. Scenes of reincarnation and hell manifested in the wake of his punches, which were definitely no weaker than Xiang Shaoyun's punch.

Rumble! Rumble!

Dreadful shockwaves spread in all directions, leaving countless craters on the ground below them. Their battleground had transformed into a terrifyingly dangerous place. An intense battle thus erupted between Xiang Shaoyun and Blood Spirit.

They clashed again and again, their fists shooting toward each other like roaming dragons, their energies brightening the sky. A curtain of arms seemed to cover the sky as space collapsed incessantly around them. A massive vacuum was created, forcing the nearby combatants to quickly distance themselves from the two.

"Xiang Shaoyun has actually grown this strong? It truly isn't easy to catch up with him," said Song Tiandao to himself as he tightened his grip on his saber.

As for Ximen Xue, he appeared unconcerned. His entire body was emitting a chilly energy. The energy constantly transformed into one energy sword after another, each sword emanating an extreme sharpness. Only one God remained among the aliens, and as Ximen Xue's gaze landed on the alien, countless frosty swords shot toward the God.

Ximen Xue had suffered heavy injuries and was greatly exhausted to boot. However, he still had the courage to challenge a God. One ought to admit that he possessed an overwhelming stubbornness in his pursuit of strength that few could understand.

"There are not many humans remaining. Die, all of you," roared the last alien God.

He then engaged Ximen Xue in an intense battle. As for Song Tiandao, he remained rational enough to not compete against Ximen Xue in terms of stubbornness. Instead, he picked a secluded spot to heal himself as fast as possible. He hoped to quickly recover more of his strength before resuming his battle against these aliens.

Apart from them, a few from the Guardians Guild, Immortal Road Chamber, Guangling Palace, and Celestial Alliance had remained as well. They were all individuals with powerful trump cards and strong willpower.

Of course, if Xiang Shaoyun hadn't eliminated a large number of aliens with his Imperial Nether Domain, these people would have probably failed to last this long as well. One could say that in this battle, Xiang Shaoyun had displayed the strength befitting of the number one Saintking. Nobody would dare to compete against him for the position after this.

Of course, the final result of the battle would still depend on how Xiang Shaoyun's fight with Blood Spirit went. Xiang Shaoyun's god soul was already a peak first-stage God and could unleash a combat strength beyond even that of a third-stage God. Each move of his was amped by the profundity of powers, granting him peerless strength.

However, Blood Spirit was an extremely crafty opponent capable of countless transformations. He had fused the special abilities of the numerous races, making it difficult for Xiang Shaoyun to quickly finish him off. In fact, Xiang Shaoyun had suffered a lot of close calls during the course of his battle with Blood Spirit. He did not wish to keep dragging the fight on. Thus, he decided to display what his soul had learned while meditating in his head all this while.

"I'll let you witness the fruits of my cultivation," said Xiang Shaoyun as he spread both his palms and released an indescribable power.

Black Yin Gravity Field!

That was a move that combined his mastery of black yin energy and the gravity field. Anyone entering the field would be harassed by confusion, corrosion, and gravity. Even more terrifying was the fact that the field also included death energy. As the black yin energy was a power related to death energy, the inclusion of death energy in the field granted it the power to devour one's life force.

"You think such power can affect me? Witness my ultimate defense!" roared Blood Spirit as he enlarged before shrouding his body in a layer of earth energy. Layer after layer of defense formed around his body, turning him into some sort of thick stone rampart. The various energies Xiang Shaoyun unleashed upon him were blocked, and Blood Spirit took the chance to start his counterattack.

Meteor Fall!

Blood Spirit brandished his arm, which looked more like a mountain range at this point, and threw a stone fist at Xiang Shaoyun. The fist contained an extremely terrifying force. Xiang Shaoyun did not move out of the way. With a resolute look, his clone circled its palms and sent an energy latch onto the massive arm. The clone then moved along the arm's trajectory before pushing both its palms forward.

Instantly, thousands of palms were unleashed, each palm powered by both his and Blood Spirit's strength. The attack was dazzling and carried boundless might. After the successful first attack, Xiang Shaoyun did not stop. He followed with more attacks, intending to defeat Blood Spirit once and for all.

"Hehe, you fell for it," Blood Spirit suddenly sneered.

A sense of foreboding hit Xiang Shaoyun as he hurriedly retreated. Alas, it was too late.

Viscous Bound!

Countless sticky tentacles shot out and surrounded Xiang Shaoyun. No matter how he tried, he couldn't escape the tentacles. The tentacles erupted with a suction force that attempted to devour Xiang Shaoyun entirely. Even if the current Xiang Shaoyun was actually a soul clone, it wasn't exactly immune to the suction force.

"Let's see how you'll escape this time. Just obediently become my food!" said Blood Spirit in excitement.

Just when he was fully confident in his victory, time seemed to turn back. His tentacles separated by themselves and returned to the same position they were in right before he had attacked. While that was happening, his mind was placed in a blank state.

"You might have combined the abilities of the various races, but I have comprehended the most powerful dao of the universe, the dao of time!" said Xiang Shaoyun as he unleashed a finger beam at Blood Spirit.

As Time Goes By!

This was an upgraded version of the sword of time. It contained the terrifying power of time, and it instantly weakened Blood Spirit's life force, causing him to drop in strength and rapidly grow old. Instead of being an illusion of growing old, this technique had grown to the point where it was truly capable of causing one to turn old.

That was the true result of the amount of time Xiang Shaoyun had spent splitting his attention to have his soul cultivate while his main body went about his daily life. He had touched upon the real essence of the dao of time, granting him true control over time.

Even if Blood Spirit had combined the abilities of the various races, he did not have any mastery over the dao of time or the dao of destruction. He suffered miserably from Xiang Shaoyun's attack as he was slashed into countless pieces.

However, Xiang Shaoyun was aware that he needed to do more to truly kill Blood Spirit. Thus, he sent boundless death energy sweeping toward those pieces, aiming to truly end Blood Spirit.
