I Am Overlord

Chapter 1621: We Stand With The Overlord

When the alien left, Xiang Shaoyun heaved a breath of relief. If the alien remained for even a bit longer, there would probably be more deaths in the Overlord Legion. Some of Xiang Shaoyun's blood essence had been devoured by the alien, but fortunately, it wasn't too much. Unfortunately, the comrades they lost to the alien would not return anymore. However, that was a small price to pay, considering they had just encountered such a powerful alien.

They all rested on the spot, and Xiang Shaoyun proceeded to inform them about how terrifying the alien was. When they learned more about the alien, they broke out in cold sweat.

"Wait, so is that alien undefeatable?" asked Devil Concubine.

"No, but if he's allowed to continue growing like this, none of us will be his match. We might eventually all die under his hands," said Xiang Shaoyun solemnly.

"Is he without any weakness after absorbing the abilities of so many different aliens?" asked Baili Yixiao with a frown.

"We need absolute strength to fully obliterate him," said Xiang Shaoyun. His gaze turned firm. "As matters stand, we're left with two choices. The first choice is to turn back and go far away from this place. We should be fine so long as we avoid encountering that alien. The second choice is to advance at an even faster speed and hunt that alien."

"The overlord is right. We should kill him before he has the chance to grow more. Otherwise, he will bring endless trouble to humanity," said Zhuge Zhantian.

"I think it's more realistic for us to retreat and focus on protecting ourselves. Our time here is almost over. At that time, we will get to leave, while the aliens will remain imprisoned," said Xia Liuhui meekly.

"Liuhui is right. The aliens will remain imprisoned here. No matter how strong they become, they won't be able to escape," said Tang Longfei.

The rest also made their opinions known. Some supported the idea of going after the alien, while some supported the idea of retreating. Both sides presented a reasonable argument for their choice.

After giving it some thought, Xiang Shaoyun said, "How about this, all of you retreat. I'll go deeper alone."

"Overlord, that's too dangerous!" said Yu Caidie anxiously.

"Don't worry. That alien won't be able to take my life," said Xiang Shaoyun. "I am someone aiming for first place on the Heaven Battling Ranking. If I can't kill that alien, he might gain the ability to break through the seal and enter the dominion. Things will be even more troublesome that way."

Xiang Shaoyun had entered the ancient battlefield with the goal of ranking first. How could he shrink away from a fight?

"I'm willing to stand with the overlord!" declared Lu Xiaoqing resolutely.

"We're willing to stand with the overlord!" said the others.

During the time they had spent together, Xiang Shaoyun had won their respect with his strength. Even Baili Yixiao was filled with admiration for him. Thus, they naturally wouldn't allow him to take the risk alone.

"Fine. You may come with me. Even if we encounter that alien again, I'll be able to deal with him. I won't allow any danger to befall all of you. You'll be in charge of dealing with the other aliens," said Xiang Shaoyun, clearly moved by their support.

The group thus continued toward the core of the alien territory. A few other powerful groups were also heading toward the core of the alien territory from different directions. They had similarly encountered fierce resistance, including God Realm aliens. Without enough strength, they would probably all perish in the ancient battlefield.

The groups were respectively from the Guardians Guild, the Guangling Palace, the Immortal Road Chamber, the Celestial Alliance, the Immortal Dynasty's crown prince and his entourage, and some other powerful organizations. Each group had about 1,000 members and no lack of powerful cultivators among their ranks.

Each group had reaped different benefits from the ancient battlefield, and everyone had grown much stronger than before. As for the rest of the participants, most had either withdrawn from the competition or perished at the core of the alien territory. It was only a matter of time before all the groups encountered each other.

At the alien territory's core, numerous powerful aliens were gathered. A large number of illusions had been deployed all around the core. The moment one approached, one would fall under the effect of the illusions. Furthermore, powerful traps designed to kill the moment one became careless had also been planted around the area.

The aliens at the core were not weak at all. Many of them had reached the God Realm, and in order to create powerful descendants, they had all injected their divine blood into the Myriad Blood Seed to create a variant alien. The variant alien was called the Myriad Blood Spirit.

The Myriad Blood Spirit was created from the blood essence of numerous aliens. He possessed numerous transformation abilities and combat abilities. One could say that he had gathered the abilities of the numerous aliens, granting him an undying body. The moment he entered the God Realm, he would be an existence capable of reigning supreme above all living beings.

The Myriad Blood Spirit was none other than the alien Xiang Shaoyun had encountered not long ago. He had just taken form and was experimenting with his powers. Sure enough, he had been able to slaughter a large number of humans. At present, the Myriad Blood Spirit had returned to the God Realm aliens in preparation for the final battle against humanity.

"All our brethren have been gathered together. We also have 100,000 skeleton soldiers and 50,000 remnant souls under our command. We have enough strength to destroy all these humans," said one of the aliens.

"It might seem like we have a lot of people, but all the humans who have entered are elites. Our soldiers won't be enough to deal with the humans. We need to make a move as well and ensure that we keep all the human blood behind. Only then can we help the Blood Spirit grow stronger and break free of the seal," said a different alien.

"Blood Spirit has successfully taken form. It will indeed be hard for him to become a God. Devouring blood and flesh alone might not be enough. We also need to fuse more powers into his body."

"If required, I'm willing to sacrifice my life to Blood Spirit. I only hope to break free of this hell and allow our brethren to return to the outside domain. At that time, we will be able to end humanity once and for all!"

...

"Stop arguing. I need the flesh and blood of more powerful individuals. The regular trashy blood is no longer useful for me. I had encountered an extremely interesting fellow. He seems to have fused multiple different powers. If I can devour him, I will be able to enter the God Realm and forge the strongest physique," said Blood Spirit.

"Who are you referring to? We'll capture that person for you," said an alien.

"It's this fellow. I was nearly killed by him," said Blood Spirit after forming Xiang Shaoyun's image in the air.

When the soul devouring beast saw the image, he exclaimed, "This is quite a tricky human to deal with. My soul attacks are completely ineffective against him. I believe humanity will wallow in grief if we can kill him."

"The humans are slowly approaching this place. Let's act separately. I'll deal with this human," said a God Realm alien.
