As for Yu Ziyang, he relied on his unparalleled flame energy to burn his surroundings. Nobody dared to approach him, and he was able to smoothly grab a jade case for himself.

  That left the final jade case that Ye Linshan nearly took but was eventually interrupted by Gui Mochou and Xiao Xie. The impact from their clashes sent the jade case flying into the midst of the Devil Sovereign puppets.

  Ouyang Chuanqi and Han Chenfei ignored their surroundings and started charging toward the jade case, but Mo Xiaoqing of the local faction and another eighth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator intervened, foiling their attempts.

  Eventually, the jade case landed near Long Shi. His gaze became burning as he reached out for it. Right this moment, an overbearing figure rushed over and grabbed the jade case before him. When Long Shi got a clear look at the newcomer, he cried out in fury, "Xiang Shaoyun, hand over the jade case!"

  That's right. The newcomer was none other than Xiang Shaoyun, who had just entered the seventh stage. The jade case had been stowed into his astral cosmos sea.

  "Come take it if you can," challenged Xiang Shaoyun as he pointed at Long Shi with the Overlord Skyslaying Saber.

  Before this, Long Shi could still somehow match Xiang Shaoyun in a fight. But now, Xiang Shaoyun no longer viewed him as a worthy opponent.

  "Fine. Taste my sword!" Long Shi roared and poured his astral energy into his sword. Instantly, a vicious and bloody aura erupted.

  Demon Slaying Devil Disintegration Slash!

  The slash was simple and unassuming, yet it exuded an overbearing sensation, as though it would advance unendingly and crush any devil and demon in its path. It was powerful enough to defeat a regular Sovereign.

  Clearly, Long Shi was intending to finish Xiang Shaoyun with a single hit. He wouldn't have any chance to snatch the jade case otherwise.

  Xiang Shaoyun was strong enough to take Long Shi on with brute strength, but he did not intend to face someone on what the opponent was good at since he considered that a waste of time. Using the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps, he avoided the slash. He reappeared beside Long Shi and launched a furious Lightning Bolt Fist forward.

  The Lightning Bolt Fist was much stronger than before. Even without summoning any lightning bolts, the punch alone was enough to turn regular peak Emperors into mincemeat. Long Shi was clad in high-tier armor, but he was still sent flying away like an artillery shell.

  It was now evident that Long Shi was no longer Xiang Shaoyun's match. With his speed superiority, Xiang Shaoyun held the absolute advantage. Long Shi stood no chance against him.

  Xiang Shaoyun wanted to keep pushing against Long Shi, but more Devil Sovereign puppets poured in to disturb him. At the same time, Mo Xiaoqing was also sneaking in an attack from behind him, trying to take advantage of the chaos.

  "Xiang Shaoyun, die!" Mo Xiaoqing aimed his sword at the back of Xiang Shaoyun's head when he saw that Xiang Shaoyun was busy dealing with a Devil Sovereign puppet.

  His sword was incomparably sharp, completely comparable to Long Shi's attack. Moreover, this particular stab was fast and came from a tricky angle.

  Just as the sword was about to land, Xiang Shaoyun shifted away like a specter and dodged the attack as though he had a pair of eyes on the back of his head.

  "Die!" Xiang Shaoyun roared as he counterattacked, his killing intent soaring.

  Chapter 866: Killing Mo Xiaoqing

  Xiang Shaoyun arrived beside Mo Xiaoqing and lashed out with the Seven Scorching Sun Claws. Each of his claws contained the might to tear mountains. Yun Flame's power accompanied his claws as he raked through Mo Xiaoqing's arm, leaving wounds so deep even his bones were visible. His clothes were also ripped apart, revealing the green inner armor he wore beneath them.

  With a miserable wail, Mo Xiaoqing madly stabbed his sword at Xiang Shaoyun. Each stab was aimed at a vital point, with an incomparably powerful force behind it.

  As a freak from the local faction, he naturally had powerful tricks up his sleeve. Unfortunately, his opponent was Xiang Shaoyun, someone who had comprehended the profundities of nine powers. Mo Xiaoqing's attacks couldn't even harm Xiang Shaoyun in any way.

  Six layers of Goldplates appeared around Xiang Shaoyun's body. Powered by the profundity of gold, his defenses were incredibly tough. Mo Xiaoqing's sword strikes only created crisp sounds when they struck, leaving no damage behind.

  Xiang Shaoyun ignored the sword strikes and responded by directly rushing Mo Xiaoqing. Xiang Shaoyun seemed to morph into an unstoppable barbaric dragon, giving Mo Xiaoqing quite a scare. Even so, Mo Xiaoqing was still an elite disciple, and he would not lose his fighting spirit so easily.

  Drunken Windrider Sword!

  Mo Xiaoqing's body started swaying left and right, as though he was drunk. He also danced about as though he had transformed into a gust of wind. He repeatedly stabbed with his sword, sending an unending barrage of sword attacks toward Xiang Shaoyun's Goldplates, and was finally able to leave some cracks on them.

  Joy flickered in his eyes as he aimed his sword straight at Xiang Shaoyun's face, trying to finish the fight then and there.

  Clank!

  The sword pierced through the Goldplates and headed toward Xiang Shaoyun's face. Finally, it pierced through his head as well. Mo Xiaoqing was wild with joy, but then he realized that he had only struck an afterimage. A chill crept up his spine as he inwardly cried, Shit!

  Mo Xiaoqing darted backward without any hesitation even as he pushed his defensive barrier to the maximum, bracing for Xiang Shaoyun's counterattack.

  Bang!

  A split second before his defensive barrier went up, a dreadful punch struck the back of his head. The strike disoriented him, and his body went blasting forward.

  Xiang Shaoyun dashed forward at an incredible speed and thrust his elbow into Mo Xiaoqing's back, smashing Mo Xiaoqing into the embrace of a Devil Sovereign. Xiang Shaoyun did not stop at that. A sharp energy covered his finger as he sprinted toward Mo Xiaoqing's back. He then jabbed his finger into the back of Mo Xiaoqing's head.

  "Die!"

  Xiang Shaoyun skewered Mo Xiaoqing's head, and a pillar of blood spewed out. It was obvious Mo Xiaoqing was dead. After all, the brain was the most important part of a human, and the moment it was destroyed, there was basically no chance one would survive.

  In any case, a Devil Sovereign puppet was busy ravaging Mo Xiaoqing's body, eventually tearing it apart. In fact, from an outside perspective, it looked like Xiang Shaoyun had only gotten into a conflict with Mo Xiaoqing while the Devil Sovereign was the one to finish him off.

  Xiang Shaoyun took the opportunity to grab Mo Xiaoqing's storage ring. As an elite disciple from the local faction, he was definitely a wealthy individual. Xiang Shaoyun then rapidly retreated to avoid tangling with the Devil Sovereigns. At this time, Ouyang Chuanqi and Han Chenfei also started nearing him.

  "Everyone has gotten something, right? Time to leave," said Han Chenfei.

  There were not many treasures left. Unless they were planning to rob the other disciples, there was no point in staying.

  Xiang Shaoyun sneered and said, "No rush. This is the perfect place to carry out certain actions."

  His gaze then landed on Yu Ziyang and Huang Tianji. A fierce battle intent surged out of him. In the battleground, the Overlord Legion had suffered greatly in the hands of the Royal Army and the Flaming Sun. Although the Overlord Legion had struck back, It was not enough. Some grudges still needed to be settled.

  Ouyang Chuanqi also had a raging battle intent as he said, "That's right. This is the best battlefield." He pointed at Yu Ziyang with his spear and declared, "Yu Ziyang is mine."

  He then dashed toward Yu Ziyang, transforming into a fiery streak.

  "Audacious. You come looking for me before I even have the chance to go look for you?" replied Yu Ziyang unyieldingly when he sensed Ouyang Chuanqi's provocation. With his flaming sword in hand, he faced Ouyang Chuanqi.

  Both Ouyang Chuanqi and Yu Ziyang cultivated the pow
er of flame, and both were ninth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivators. Their combat prowess had reached an unimaginable level among Emperors.

  As for Xiang Shaoyun, he focused on Huang Tianji and muttered, "I'll start with you." He then charged Huang Tianji.

  At this moment, Huang Tianji was trying to enter the ninth stage after having absorbed a massive amount of draconic aura. Money was completely suppressed, not allowed to absorb more draconic aura. If it wasn't for the disturbances by some other people who were similarly trying to absorb the draconic aura, Money would have been gravely injured.

  "Haha, time to break through!" Huang Tianji was too engrossed in his body's rapid growth and momentarily forgot the dangers all around him. He tried to imitate Xiang Shaoyun and attempted to break through then and there.

  And right as he was about to break through, he sensed a mighty power rushing toward him. It alarmed him, and his energy circulation was messed up. He forcefully suppressed his impending breakthrough and slammed out a palm.

  Bang!

  A palm met a fist, creating an intense impact.

  The attacker was none other than Xiang Shaoyun.

  "Huang Tianji, piss off or die," said Xiang Shaoyun as he started attacking madly.

  This time, he held nothing back. He had just entered the seventh stage, and he needed a proper training session. Huang Tianji was the perfect sparring partner. Using the Lightning Bolt Fist, he unleashed a barrage of destructive punches toward Huang Tianji.

  After breaking through, Xiang Shaoyun displayed a completely different strength. Each punch of his was beyond the level of a peak Emperor, comparable with a Sovereign's. Furthermore, he was astonishingly fast as well. His punches were practically uncatchable. How could one hope to stop him?

  Chapter 867: Chaotic Battle of Freaks

  Xiang Shaoyun had comprehended nine profundities. Each profundity would grant him a different effect when attacking, and his current attacks were displaying this property. Not only were his attacks erupting with lightning, but they were also being quickened by the power of wind, which was how he could attack so rapidly.

  Huang Tianji had been on the verge of breaking through when Xiang Shaoyun had interrupted him. His aura was now in a mess, and he had a hard time withstanding Xiang Shaoyun's barrage. Nevertheless, Huang Tianji was still a prince armed with powerful equipment such as the peak sovereign armor he was wearing. The armor could block Xiang Shaoyun's entire barrage.

  Xiang Shaoyun also understood that as well, so he tried his best to aim for Huang Tianji's limbs or head. Huang Tianji was infuriated by the pain he was feeling in both his arms.

  "Xiang Shaoyun, you're pushing this too far!" Huang Tianji roared and unleashed the draconic aura he was supposed to use for his breakthrough. He pushed his Royal War Aura to the maximum, and it was as though an actual dragon had burst out of his body and blasted Xiang Shaoyun away.

  The Royal War Aura was a battle aura exclusive to the royal clan. It was extremely powerful, and regular Emperors would be gravely injured, if not killed, after being hit by it. However, Xiang Shaoyun seemed completely fine. With the sovereign armor he had on him, he remained unharmed.

  Since Huang Tianji had failed in his breakthrough, he was extremely furious. His spear lashed out and transformed into numerous dragon phantoms that shot at Xiang Shaoyun. Each phantom contained enough power to instantly defeat an ordinary Sovereign.

  "Xiang Shaoyun, only one of us will live past today!" Huang Tianji roared. He had always been an arrogant person. Nobody had disobeyed him before, let alone work against him. And yet Xiang Shaoyun had repeatedly caused him to suffer losses. His hatred for Xiang Shaoyun had risen to the maximum.

  He was no longer holding anything back when attacking.

  Xiang Shaoyun retreated rapidly while ingeniously dodging the Devil Sovereign coming from behind. As a result, Huang Tianji's spear attacks struck the Devil Sovereign instead, leaving over a dozen holes in the puppet. The puppet was killed on the spot, displaying the might of Huang Tianji's attack.

  Xiang Shaoyun quickly drew his Overlord Skyslaying Saber and stirred his lightning energy and lightning bone. A rich amount of lightning energy coursed over his body, and his presence of dragon and tiger surged out. He swung his saber, unleashing a storm.

  Rumble! Rumble!

  The two freaks clashed, creating numerous energy eruptions all around them. The chaotic energy spread everywhere, scaring the weaker disciples into quickly retreating from the gorge.

  One ought to know that Xiang Shaoyun and Huang Tianji weren't the only ones fighting. Other battles were also going on, such as Zhan Wushuang and Lei Bao's, and Ouyang Chuanqi and Yu Ziyang's. Explosions were erupting everywhere, the intensity of the battlefield greatly surpassing the level of destruction an Emperor was supposed to be able to wreak.

  Under such circumstances, those weaker than the combatants did not dare to stay. Even the Devil Sovereign puppets had been reduced into nothing but tools the combatants were using in their fight.

  As for the phoenix phantom, it had been fully absorbed by Yu Caidie and her phoenix. She was unable to take part in the ongoing battle, so she swiftly began to depart with her phoenix. She was reluctant to leave, throwing him one last glance before departing.

  As for Baili Yixiao, after getting the first jade case, he joined up with Long Shi and prepared to leave. He did not seem interested in fighting anyone there.

  However, Zhan Wushuang had no intention of letting Baili Yixiao go. After breaking away from Long Shi, he rushed Baili Yixiao and released a terrifyingly destructive punch. His fist seemed capable of destroying everything in its way, as though a powerful Sovereign had personally attacked, unleashing an unstoppable attack.

  Baili Yixiao had a kind heart, but that did not mean he did not enjoy battling. Facing Zhan Wushuang's challenge, he raised his brow before using his fingers as a sword to easily disperse the incoming punch.

  "Baili Yixiao, today, I will wash clean the shame I had suffered before!" Zhan Wushuang declared as he charged Baili Yixiao like a barbaric dragon. His pair of fists exuded an endless battle intent and shone with a brilliant radiance that filled the entire gorge.

  "Zhan Wushuang, I am your opponent!" shouted Lei Bao as he came from behind. Lightning swirled around him as though he was a god of lightning. He looked incredibly domineering and mighty as he brought his pair of hammers down at Zhan Wushuang, releasing numerous lightning tendrils at the same time.

  A smile formed on Baili Yixiao's face as he said, "Why don't the both of you help sharpen my sword?"

  And then, Baili Yixiao waved both his arms, forming two astonishingly powerful sword energies with his fingers. The sharp sword energies promptly sliced the fist and lightning energies into nothingness. Baili Yixiao looked like he hadn't even broken a sweat doing so.

  Right after that, Zhan Wushuang and Lei Bao unleashed a barrage of even stronger attacks at him. A smile hung on Baili Yixiao's face. Even his sword started shaking as though it had turned incomparably excited.

  "Finally, things are getting interesting," said Baili Yixiao as he finally drew his sword.

  Thus, the three freaks engaged in an intense battle, filling the gorge with fatal shockwaves that forced even more disciples to flee. However, the fleeing disciples did not stop fighting after escaping. Rather, they continued fighting each other, targeting those who had gotten some treasures from the gorge.

  As for Han Chenfei, she was one of the freak disciples. However, she discovered that a rather wide gap had formed between her and the top freaks, causing her to feel somewhat sullen. Inwardly, she thought, Looks like I haven't trained enough. Although I have improved decently, people are starting to catch up to me. If this continues, I will be left far behind them. I can't accept this! I need to catch up with them!

  She then left without any hesitation, heading toward the blood devil vine. Most people only knew the blood devil vine as a devilish plant. Few were aware that the roots of this plant contained a rich
life force. If one could dig out its roots, one would be able to greatly boost the power of one's bloodline. At the same time, one's cultivation talent would also greatly improve.

  Han Chenfei knew of this. Thus, she decided to take the risk to try killing the blood devil vine. However, she was not the only one aware of its properties. Young Master Ghost Gui Mochou was also greatly interested in the vine.

  Chapter 868: Defeating Huang Tianji

  Xiang Shaoyun held the absolute upper hand in his battle against Huang Tianji. His Overlord Skyslaying Saber seemed to have become an extension of his body. Each slash was incomparably fierce, displaying a saber intent that was approaching the second stage.

  Each time his saber looked like it was about to be thrown from his hand, it still remained in his grasp, as though it was a limb that could be used as he wished.

  Human weapon unity, steering the saber!

  Xiang Shaoyun had never focused much on cultivating saber intent. But after recovering some of his past life's memories, he had regained some of his past experience with the saber. The memories formed some sort of resonance with his body that allowed his saber skills to reach an extreme level.

  This was the same Overlord Skyslaying Saber he had wielded in his previous life, the same saber that had accompanied him as he waged war all over the world. It had long become one with him. Thus, the resonance between him and the saber was merely him regaining what he had lost.

  Huang Tianji was definitely not weak. He had a primary-grade nine-star physique. The power unleashed from his nine stars was exceptionally frightening. If Xiang Shaoyun hadn't relied on his speed to repeatedly avoid Huang Tianji's attacks, he would have long been taken down.

  "Xiang Shaoyun, is this all you're capable of? Cowering like a turtle? If you are really that great, come face me head on!" Huang Tianji provoked.

  "Hmph. I'm doing just that. You can talk big after you actually manage to touch me," said Xiang Shaoyun. His saber attacks intensified, making Huang Tianji even more miserable. Huang Tianji's armor had been scorched black by the repeated bombardments, and numerous bloody scars could be seen on his arms. Only his head remained unharmed.
