I Am Overlord-Chapter 1814: Bleak Hero
Zhuge Zhantian was a capable military leader with high attainment in formations. He might not be the strongest, but he was the best military leader among Xiang Shaoyun's ranks. In Xiang Shaoyun's astral cosmos sea, Zhuge Zhantian had trained numerous Saints in military formations, allowing the many Saints to come together and unleash an even more terrifying combat strength.
Because of that, the Overlord Legion was much stronger than the messy coalition known as the Anti-Human Army. The Anti-Human Army fighting on the ground was composed mostly of Saints and only a few Gods. After all, those at the God Realm could only fight fully in outer space if they did not want to destroy the entire dominion.
The Overlord Legion joined hands with the beast army, sweeping forward from the Western Desert to the Central Region. Apart from facing the Anti-Human Army, the Overlord Legion also provided simple healing to the injured humans they encountered. Their actions caused the humans to be filled with gratitude. The name of the righteous Overlord Legion gradually spread throughout the dominion, creating quite a sensation.
"The dominion is in chaos, and the Guardians Guild is only focused on dealing with the Anti-Human Army. They have completely neglected the mundane people like us. The Overlord Legion, on the other hand, has saved us. They are the true protectors."
"For those Gods, our lives are akin to weed. How could the Guardians Guild care about us? Fortunately, the Overlord Legion exists, giving us at least a little hope. I don't care if Xiang Shaoyun is a human or a devil. I only know that his Overlord Legion has saved us, so he is my benefactor!"
"Yes! The overlord is the sole disciple of Lord Guardian Ge Yi. How can he do something bad to humans? The rumors must have arisen from some jealous individuals."
"That's right. From now on, I'll support only the overlord and his Overlord Legion."
...
The Overlord Legion's righteousness earned them the support of the masses. However, the voice of the mundane mortals did not really mean much. The support of more organizations was required.
For now, Xiang Shaoyun did not pay much attention to that. He had reached the main battlefield of the human army and the Anti-Human Army. The two armies were fighting, and the battlefield was unimaginably intense.
Humanity had not suffered a one-sided defeat because most of the human elites had gathered here. Apart from the Guardians Guild, the Immortal Road Chamber, the Guangling Palace, the Celestial Alliance, and many other organizations were fighting here, facing off against the Anti-Human Army.
In the face of such a calamity, humanity needed to stand together if they did not want this to be the end for them. As usual, the Saints fought within the dominion while the Gods and beyond fought in outer space.
Of course, the ultimate result rested upon the result of the battle between Gods. If the human Gods failed, all hope would be lost for humanity. Qin Jiu was already the guild master of the Guardians Guild. His rise was truly the perfect example of cronyism. His followers were greatly alleviated in terms of status, while Gongsun Yingxiong and those unwilling to submit to him were all sent to fight at the frontlines.
Thus, Gongsun Yingxiong's faction and the neutral faction had the most casualties from the war. When the members of the Guardians Guild saw that Qin Jiu was still politicking even when the survival of the dominion was at stake, they became bitterly disappointed.
At present, fighting at the very front of the line was none other than Gongsun Yingxiong and his people. The old hero Gongsun Yingxiong was definitely terrifyingly strong. He alone faced three Eight Revolutions experts. Even though he was at a disadvantage, his act of facing all three experts still won him respect from the others.
Of these three opponents, two were aliens and one was a diabolic dragon. Each was a powerful combatant. One attack after another was launched at Gongsun Yingxiong. His surroundings had been reduced into void by the sheer destruction of their attacks.
"Human, stop struggling. The result will be the same. You might as well submit to us," said an alien with a smile.
The other alien said, "That's right. Nobody is helping you. You're just going to die here."
"What's the point of wasting your breath on him? Just kill him," said the diabolic dragon unhappily.
The three Eight Revolutions experts worked together, forcing Gongsun Yingxiong to use his true strength. His entire person burned like a red sun. In his hand was a giant sphere, his lifebound weapon, the Great Sun.
The Great Sun was formed from the essence stone of a sun and a tiny piece of primal chaos stone. It was a nine-revolutions weapon, and in Gongsun Yingxiong's hands, it unleashed a terrifying power like it was an actual sun, blocking the countless attacks heading his way.
"You bastards want to conquer the dominion? Dream on!" roared Gongsun Yingxiong. He completely gave up on his defenses and focused fully on his offensive.
Gongsun Yingxiong was also an Eight Revolutions expert, and he was extremely powerful. When he unleashed all his strength, he became even stronger than Nine Revolutions experts.
Dusk Buddha!
Countless rays of light shot out, piercing through all obstacles, aiming for the weakest of the three. Gongsun Yingxiong was determined to get rid of at least one of his opponents. That was the only way he stood a chance to survive.
The alien did not expect Gongsun Yingxiong to suddenly attack so ferociously. He couldn't even defend himself before his entire body was blown apart.
However, Gongsun Yingxiong had not done so without a cost. The other alien broke his spine with a trident while the diabolic dragon inflicted a curse on him, rotting away his life and mind.
Gongsun Yingxiong ignored his injuries and pressed on, erasing the soul of his badly injured opponent. As a result, he received countless injuries from his two other opponents. Even so, he lived up to his name, which meant hero. With his badly damaged body, he fought on valiantly, ultimately delivering serious injuries to the alien and the diabolic dragon.
The battle grew to an unimaginable level of intensity. Each move of theirs was world-shaking. Nobody dared to approach their battlefield, fearful of catching a stray attack and instantly dying.
Gongsun Yingxiong's head was finally blown out, but the diabolic dragon wasn't any better off. The dragon was torn into two by the Great Sun, flooding their surroundings with blood. At this time, the alien charged over, trying to swallow Gongsun Yingxiong's badly damaged body. As a response, Gongsun Yingxiong transformed into a burning sun, forcing the alien to retreat. Gongsun Yingxiong had ignited his divine blood. He was prepared to fight until his death.
"Looks like today is the day I die," muttered Gongsun Yingxiong with the tone of a bleak hero.
Just as the alien and the diabolic dragon were about to reach Gongsun Yingxiong yet again, a voice rang out, "Ganging up against one of us? Do you really think nobody in the dominion can stand up to you?"
