I Am Overlord

Chapter 1692: Saintly Forest Courtyard’s Old Master, Xie Feng

Outside the dominion, Huang Baiwu finally completed his breakthrough. Worthy of being someone who had once placed on the Saintly Forest Ranking, his breakthrough had created a phenomenon of three suns and pushed his flame energy to a terrifying level. With his sixth-stage Rebirth Realm cultivation, even regular seventh-stage Rebirth Realm cultivators wouldn’t be his match. He was even strong enough to put up a fight against regular eighth-stage Rebirth Realm cultivators.

Xiang Shaoyun could feel that Huang Baiwu’s foundations were comparable to Purple Lightning Marquis’s. If the two were to fight, it would be hard to say who would win. They were already as strong as Xiang Shaoyun during his previous life.

“Haha, I have finally broken through!” Huang Baiwu roared with laughter.

At the God Realm, each breakthrough required a long period of accumulation. He was already a sixth-stage Rebirth Realm cultivator when he was only a little bit over 1,000 years old. That was a showcase of an incredible talent that many people could only look up to.

“Baiwu, come, have a spar,” said Xiang Shaoyun as his battle intent surged.

“Sure. Here I come!” Huang Baiwu had long wanted to have a fight with Xiang Shaoyun. Now that an invitation had come from Xiang Shaoyun, he did not hesitate and swung his Dragon God Sword at Xiang Shaoyun.

The simple swing contained countless permutations and boundless might. It shattered space while the sword energy advanced in a manner that seemed capable of penetrating everything. Xiang Shaoyun spread the fingers of one palm, unveiling the primal chaos energy in his palm. His palm enlarged, confining a large area, and crushed the entirety of the sword strike.

Cosmos Within Palm!

When Xiang Shaoyun had grown in strength, he had obtained the ability to freely unleash powerful offensive and defensive techniques. Huang Baiwu knew how strong Xiang Shaoyun was and did not dare to hold back. With wide strides, he charged toward Xiang Shaoyun.

Advancing with the momentum of a fiery dragon, he let loose his domineering God Realm energy. Numerous stunning sword strikes were unleashed from his Dragon God Sword, tearing space around him. His attacks surrounded Xiang Shaoyun.

With the divine dao eyes, Xiang Shaoyun saw through the trajectory of Huang Baiwu’s attacks. He sent several palm attacks toward their openings, causing all the attacks to collapse. At the same time, he moved with the Sky Measuring Step and appeared beside Huang Baiwu. He clenched his fist as his fist shone brilliantly, blanketing Huang Baiwu in a dazzling light. A solemn expression covered Huang Baiwu’s face, and he moved through the air like a dragon, barely avoiding the punch before countering with a god-grade technique of his own.

Xiang Shaoyun had a look of astonishment. The Yin Yang Shield appeared before him. As the shield spun, the incoming attack was diverted away. The Tai Chi Yin Yang Palm then made an appearance.

The two fought without holding back, creating a massive ruckus. If this fight had happened in the dominion, they would have already flattened an entire province. Huang Baiwu was akin to both a dragon and a sun, his attacks incomparably ferocious and forceful. Xiang Shaoyun was akin to a celestial child of primal chaos. Each move of his was filled with power yet appeared casual. His offense and defense were simply perfect.

After a long time, the two finally stopped. They weren’t actually fighting each other to the death. They merely fought enough to satisfy their craving for a good fight.

“Haha. That was satisfying!” said Xiang Shaoyun with a hearty laugh.

“Overlord, you are truly unrivaled. Baiwu is nothing compared to you,” said Huang Baiwu with admiration.

He had thought that he would be able to pressure Xiang Shaoyun with his sixth-stage Rebirth Realm cultivation, but he was badly mistaken. Xiang Shaoyun had clearly not used his full strength in their spar earlier, yet he could already stop a majority of Huang Baiwu’s attacks. It was obvious there was still a gap between the two.

“You flatter me, Baiwu. You weren’t trying your best either. If you use all your strength, I would probably have a much harder time,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile. “It’s time I go to the Guardians Guild.”

All the Gods younger than 1,000 years old were already on their way to the Guardians Guild. It was time for Xiang Shaoyun to set off as well. After all, he still wasn’t an official member of the guild. He had to submit his guardians token and report his identity before he could become a young guild master candidate. He would then be able to take the guild’s test. The ultimate victor would be able to ascend to the throne.

“Um. I’ll bid farewell to the emperor emeritus,” said Huang Baiwu with a nod.

“Are you sure you want to come with me?” asked Xiang Shaoyun.

With Huang Baiwu’s strength, there would always be a spot for him at the top of the dominion. If he instead followed Xiang Shaoyun, he would forever remain beneath Xiang Shaoyun.

“Your talent is unrivaled. Even Baiwu can never hope to catch up to you. It is my honor to follow you, overlord. In the future, you will become the young guild master or even the guild master. At the time, I will benefit from it. I won’t regret this!” said Huang Baiwu seriously.

“Fine. You won’t be disappointed!” promised Xiang Shaoyun with a confident smile.

Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to return to the Saintly Forest Courtyard with Huang Baiwu, he raised his brow and looked to the side before asking, “Who is it?”

He then sent a finger beam shooting toward that direction.

“You’re so young yet so alert,” said a lazy voice.

Next, a youth dressed in a hemp garment appeared out of the void. The youth had two locks of white hair on his head, and he had a unique temperament about him. His eyes seemed to carry the weight of history, making it hard to believe that these were the eyes of such a young face. Xiang Shaoyun had keen eyesight, but not even he could see through the youth’s cultivation. He was immediately on alert. This youth was probably far stronger than him. A person like that was probably someone standing at the top of the dominion.

“Y-you’re Courtyard Master Xie Feng from Saintly Forest Courtyard?” asked Huang Baiwu in astonishment.

The Dusk Dynasty had a close relationship with the Saintly Forest Courtyard. Huang Baiwu was naturally aware that the Saintly Forest Courtyard had an old courtyard master with a deep and unmeasurable strength. He had even seen the portrait of that master. The youth before him resembled that mysterious old courtyard master.

“Hehe, do you think I’m old? I’m still a young man!” said Xie Feng in a frivolous manner.

“It really is you, Master Xie Feng! Huang Baiwu of Imperial Dusk greets you, Senior Xie,” said Huang Baiwu with a respectful salute.

“A child of the Imperial Dusk? No wonder you know me,” said Xie Feng in realization. After a pause, he said, “You’re not bad, kid. But the kid beside you is even better. This must be Ge Yi’s sole successor, Xiang Shaoyun?”

Xiang Shaoyun replied, “Yes, this kid is Xiang Shaoyun.”

“You’re going to make your bid for the young guild master position, right? I advise you to forget it,” advised Xie Feng.

Both Xiang Shaoyun and Huang Baiwu were stunned.
