I Am Overlord

Chapter 1781: One Revolution

Xiang Shaoyun's main body was near the spatial path. He and his group were standing guard there, waiting for the aliens' next arrival. Perhaps it was due to the repeated defeats, but no additional aliens appeared. Thus, Xiang Shaoyun and company were given ample time to rest and recuperate.

During that period of recuperation, Xiang Shaoyun had pushed his main body to peak ninth-stage God Realm. He was only one step away from the Nine Revolutions Realm.

One could say that his growth had reached a burst stage all thanks to his Primal Inception Physique. Dugu Qiubai had also grown at a monstrous rate. Relying on the lotus base, he was able to become a One Revolution expert before Xiang Shaoyun.

When he broke through, a terrifying phenomenon appeared. A large amount of primal chaos energy furiously came. The phantoms of a soaring dragon and leaping tiger appeared, the sounds of vermilion bird and black tortoise rang out, and even a qilin manifested to grace his ascension with an auspicious aura.

Although Dugu Qiubai hadn't attracted the purple energy like Xiang Shaoyun during his breakthrough, his breakthrough was still at a level beyond the level of their peers. The True Martial Academy members were overjoyed, but many also lamented, "Since Qiubai exists, why must Overlord exist as well?"

They all knew that the only person capable of competing against Dugu Qiubai was Xiang Shaoyun. Just as they were rejoicing the fact that Dugu Qiubai had ascended before Xiang Shaoyun, Xiang Shaoyun's soul clone returned. The moment the soul and the body reunited, he started to break through into the Nine Revolutions Realm.

Xiang Shaoyun couldn't stop the breakthrough even if he wanted to. His soul had returned with too much power, and the power was shared with his main body. If he did not break through, he would have no way of containing his powerful soul clone in his body.

Since Xiang Shaoyun did not want to break through in public, he dragged Ming Shi into the void after leaving a message to his people. This breakthrough created an even more magnificent phenomenon than before. The nearby lifeless planets were completely stripped of their energy, causing them to fall apart after losing their origin energy.

Boom!

Almost a thousand small lifeless planets exploded one after another, forming an overwhelming scene of terror. Nine ancient, flickering stars appeared and a clump of thick purple energy. The energy entered Xiang Shaoyun's body, and this time, he did not intend to let his soul advance. He gathered all the purple energy into his astral cosmos sea, becoming a One Revolution cultivator.

This breakthrough was unlike his breakthrough into the God Realm. The nine-colored lotus foundation in his head transformed into an actual lotus with energy of high purity rippling out of it. A vine made of energy coiled around the lotus, his body, and his astral cosmos sea. His body was further strengthened, reaching a level where even top-tier divine weapons could no longer harm him.

The energy coiling around him was proof that he had reached the One Revolution level. After the energy coiled around him nine times, he would gain the opportunity to fully fuse with the coil, open the gate of reincarnation, and take the final step into the fabled realm.

One should not look down on the single coil around him. It required a massive amount of energy to form, especially for someone like Xiang Shaoyun, who had a monstrous physique in the first place. The energy he needed was ten times that of his peers. Even those far away could feel Xiang Shaoyun's breakthrough. Some were so terrified by the power that they started trembling.

"I won't be able to forgive myself if I miss out on a man like this," muttered Ling Ziruo as she gazed in the direction she felt the power, her eyes flickering brightly.

All along, she had been acting with the aloofness expected as the number one palace lady of the Guangling Palace. Even after allying with Xiang Shaoyun, she was still confident that she was better than him. It did not matter that Xiang Shaoyun was stronger than her. She had the Guangling Palace behind her.

But at this moment, that little bit of pride she had vanished. Xiang Shaoyun was too stunning. He had taken only twenty years to reach such a height. One would only feel inferior competing against him.

As for Xiang Shaoyun's followers, their reverence grew further, and an urge to prostrate before him in respect welled within them. Even Dugu Qiubai couldn't help but think to himself, I truly am incomparable to him.

As someone with the Primal Chaos Physique, he should have been an unrivaled expert whose blindingness covered an era. But when a monster like Xiang Shaoyun appeared, Dugu Qiubai was destined to be overshadowed.

As for the one hundred people cultivating within Xiang Shaoyun's astral cosmos sea, they all broke through the moment Xiang Shaoyun broke through. After all, his breakthrough had brought a boundless amount of pure energy into his astral cosmos sea. The energy contained the laws of the universe, deepening their understanding of the dao they pursued. In such an environment, it was hard for them to not break through.

Xiang Shaoyun's breakthrough took eighty-one days before it ended. He was now a One Revolution cultivator. After the breakthrough, his confidence surged to the point even the look in his eyes changed. He now had a pair of eyes that looked at the world with disdain, as though a mere glance from him could destroy an entire star.

He withdrew his aura and gazed far away, immediately seeing an army of hundreds of thousands of aliens. He no longer needed to face the aliens with caution. He formed a palm and slapped the aliens from faraway.

Divine Sinister Space Palm!

The palm phased through space and streaked toward the aliens like a meteor. It struck a warship, instantly reducing the warship into fine powder. The palm continued onward, destroying more than ten warships and killing tens of thousands of aliens before it stopped.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" the aliens cried out frantically.

There were no Nine Revolutions Realm experts in this army. It was completely helpless before Xiang Shaoyun. With a flicker, Xiang Shaoyun appeared near the aliens. He swept his gaze over them, creating numerous corpses from the aliens with the death rays from his eyes.

Like withering flowers, the aliens wilted one after another. None of them could escape him. Many of them pissed themselves in fear. They had arrived with full aggression, but facing such a powerful opponent, they didn't even have the courage to fight.

Xiang Shaoyun wasn't even interested in turning them into his puppets. He punched again and again, his punches akin to the explosion of stars, rumbling everywhere like a roaring dragon and a pouncing tiger. Dreadful power bombarded the alien warships, turning one alien after another into mincemeat.

Even when the aliens joined hands against Xiang Shaoyun, they were still akin to fireflies trying to outshine the moon. There was no comparing them. Soon, the army was completely obliterated. Only then did the humans arrive. All of them were speechless upon seeing the scene before their eyes.
