I Am Overlord-Chapter 1775: End of Battle
Most of the plants growing on the Nether Yin Planet were devilish plants, but there were also some peculiar god-grade materials suitable for weapon refining and medicine making. Xiang Shaoyun only gathered an appropriate amount of materials and didn't take too much.
The materials he took would be useful for Gui Qi and Ye Chaomu. That was the only reason he had taken them. As for the rest of his people, they wouldn't find much use for the materials on this planet.
When Ming Shi brought him to a dangerous spot on the planet, he sensed a thick grand yin power, a power that would be extremely beneficial for those cultivating the power of darkness.
This was also the place where Ming Shi had grown the most and entered the Nine Revolutions Realm. The grand yin and the young yang were the polar opposites of each other, both coming together to form the power of yin and yang. They could unleash an incredible level of strength. Any God that could absorb some of this power would be able to improve greatly in terms of combat strength.
Ming Shi directly absorbed one tenth of the energy in the area, replenishing his many years of energy loss. The strength within his body became much more plentiful. As for Xiang Shaoyun, he was in no rush to absorb anything. He was only here as a soul clone without his astral cosmos sea. Thus, he had no way of absorbing the energy. In the future when his main body came personally, he would then be able to absorb the energy. Furthermore, the energy here would also help Devouring Ghost's and Devil Concubine's cultivations greatly.
Meanwhile, his main body was undergoing a decisive battle with the aliens. After his soul clone had entered the Nether Yin Gate, the aliens lost a Four Revolutions expert on their side. The situation on the battlefield shifted greatly, with the aliens and humanity being much more evenly matched. After all, Qin Jiu and Gongsun Sanyang had both released their Nine Revolutions Realm puppets that proved to be of great help to the human army.
Xiang Shaoyun's main body was already a late ninth-stage God. He had swatted even the true nether prince in the alien army out of his way. Gu Wang had been slaughtered by him as well. He was the actual crux in deciding the course of the battle.
His soul clone might not be around, but he still had his Imperial Nether Domain. The moment he activated it, countless aliens were trapped inside. None of them could escape his slaughter. One after another, they died violently.
The best benefit of using the Imperial Nether Domain was that it allowed him to unleash large-scale destruction upon his enemies. He could kill much faster than the other humans.
Eventually, the aliens broke under the pressure and started detonating themselves the moment they were brought into the Imperial Nether Domain.
About ten God Realm aliens had done so, unleashing a terrifying explosion in the domain. Even the nine-colored lotus cracked when Xiang Shaoyun tried to use it to suppress the explosion. Thus, he was forced to deactivate the Imperial Nether Domain for a period of time.
After all, without his soul clone, his Imperial Nether Domain would take a much longer time to recover from the damage dealt to it. But even without the Imperial Nether Domain, Xiang Shaoyun was still the strongest individual on the battlefield. He replaced his Imperial Nether Domain with his Black Yin Magnetic Field, spreading rot, chaos, and death among all the aliens near him.
With the Primal Inception Saber, he cut the aliens like they were vegetables, displaying an incomparable combat strength. Both armies suffered countless casualties from the battle, but due to Xiang Shaoyun's existence, humanity was able to grasp the final victory.
However, before they could take the time to rejoice, they heard about the devil invasion and the collapse of the barrier separating the dominion and the Devil Domain. It was as though a cold bucket had been poured over all the humans who had just won a massive battle.
Some immediately returned to the dominion to face the devils. Some proposed to finish killing the aliens before doing anything else. Thus, the army split into two camps, with both camps arguing ceaselessly with each other.
"I need to become the young guild master within one hundred years. The aliens are what I should be killing," said Qin Jiu firmly.
"Without the dominion, what's the point of being the young guild master?" retorted Gongsun Sanyang.
"Hehe, you really think the guild is so useless? Over the years, the guild has hidden away a large amount of power. The devils will eventually be suppressed," said Qin Jiu with a sneer. He then gathered his people and went after the fleeing aliens.
As for Gongsun Sanyang, he brought his people and headed back to the dominion, deciding to give up on the young guild master position. But before leaving, he went to Xiang Shaoyun and said, "I am optimistic about your chances in your bid for the young guild master position."
He then left. Many of the young Gods had perished, and the survivors did not have the confidence to vie against Dugu Qiubai, Qin Jiu, and Xiang Shaoyun. They made their choices silently, a large number of them deciding to follow Xiang Shaoyun. After all, his performance during the battle had been too stunning. He had surpassed all his peers, suffocating them with his bright presence.
Xiang Shaoyun also had the likes of Yu Caidie, Ling Ziruo, Devil Concubine, Purple Lightning Marquis, and Song Tiandao supporting him. His group had survived the best among all the other human groups, and with his strength and contributions during the battle, he had high hopes of actually becoming the young guild master.
As for Di Lin, he had decided to follow Qin Jiu. The Celestial War King had perished during the battle. The Celestial War King had always been an arrogant person and had even once thought of suppressing Xiang Shaoyun. But upon witnessing Xiang Shaoyun fight, he started shivering in fear. The Celestial War King intended to flee the battlefield, but the battle came too abruptly. An alien far stronger than him went after him, and he was immediately killed.
As for Ji Feixian and Mo Du, both had been saved by Xiang Shaoyun. Their bodies had been destroyed, but Huan Lexuan had preserved their souls.
Ultimately, Xiang Shaoyun killed Huan Lexuan, and Ji Feixian and Mo Du were thus released, allowing them to reconstruct their bodies. The two did not appear to be too grateful for the rescue, but they did promise to pay him back in the future. They had then left for the dominion with their surviving people, removing themselves from the competition for the young guild master position.
Xiang Shaoyun was also very worried about the Ziling Sect. He even wanted to return and protect it. But he suddenly thought of Ye Chaomu. As the princess of the Undying Devil Clan, she would definitely not watch as the Ziling Sect was destroyed.
Due to his trust in Ye Chaomu, Xiang Shaoyun believed that the sect would be fine. He made his choice to chase after the fleeing aliens. He would not give up on the young guild master position. That was a promise he had made to his master and martial uncle. He had to snatch back what belonged to their line.
Xiang Shaoyun's main body and soul clone did not reunite. It wasn't that the soul clone couldn't return, but the two needed to act separately, focusing on killing the aliens and obtaining the natural earthly soul at the same time.
