Chapter 828 The Overlord’s Vestigial Consciousness

Bursts of exclamations could be heard in the depths of the Yun Clan’s ancestral land, revealing the shock in everyone’s heart. Even Yun Kong was quaking in his boots. He almost fell to his knees. They never dreamed that the Overlord would actually appear in the ancestral land!

Within the Yun Clan, there was a portrait of the Overlord which they had to observe every day, so it was not surprising they could recognize the figure in front of them at a glance. Their exclamations shocked Yang Jing and the others. ‘The Overlord of the Yun Clan? That means he’s the owner of the Fallen God Bow! And the creator of the Ancient Forbidden Area! And the supreme power who sealed Heaven! How terrifying his might would be.’ “No, he isn’t the Overlord!” said Yun Kong in a low voice. He was the first to come back to his senses and his face immediately darkened when he realized it was not the Overlord. He could not feel any life force coming from the figure. There was not even a trace of it. The figure was simply a mass of energy. The physical body that the energy was inhabiting was very different than that of ordinary people!

A Yun clansman heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s only a trace of consciousness left by the Overlord.”

It was a good thing, for if it was really the Overlord, then 80 percent of them would have committed suicide there and then, but since it was only a trace of the Overlord’s consciousness, then they had nothing to fear since it was not powerful enough to hurt them.

It was then, the phantom said, “The Overlord left this divine consciousness to guard against changes in the outside world. Never would I have dreamt that it’d be the Yun Clan who opened up the ancestral land.”

Although it was not a real living breathing person, there was still sadness and anger in its tone.

“We’ve guarded this place for the Overlord for countless years, and we’ve already paid off the kindness owed to him. What secrets are there in this ancestral land? Is there power here that would help me reach the pinnacle?” asked Yun Kong.

“Yes, the power you’re seeking does exist in this land, but that power isn’t something you can wield,” said the phantom calmly.

“Well, we’ll see about that!” Yun Kong’s lust for power became even stronger after hearing what the phantom said. Without skipping a beat, he launched a palm strike at the phantom. His power rushed out and roared from all directions to suppress the phantom.

However, the phantom remained standing where it was and simply let the palm strike hit it as if the attack was just a refreshing, gentle breeze. After the palm strike subsided, he still stood there unscathed.

“How can this be?!” Yun Kong widened his eyes in disbelief and felt his scalp tingle as if it was about to explode. He had put quite a lot of power behind that palm strike, and yet, the phantom completely ignored it. It signified that Yun Kong was even more inferior to an ant in front of it.

Not only Yun Kong, but everyone from the Yun Clan and Heavenly Palace were equally shocked. The disparity in power was so huge that they could not even fathom it! The phantom had been in the ancestral land for endless years and it was only a wisp of consciousness of the supreme power. If it could ignore an attack from a Wisdom Dictator like that, they shuddered to think just how powerful its original form could be.

At that moment, everyone’s realization of just how powerful the supreme powers from the Origins Realm were had reached a new height.

“This is too terrifying! We don’t stand a chance against the power of the Overlord at all!”

“Overlord, please, forgive us! We now know we shouldn’t have come here!”

“And we shouldn’t have challenged your authority! Your existence in this world is unquestionable.”

“Let’s get out of here!”

The people of the Yun Clan were scared out of their wits. They were trembling all over and turned to run without a moment’s hesitation.

“By breaking into the ancestral land, you’ve disobeyed the ancestral teachings. Thus, everything that the master gave you should be taken back,” said the phantom evenly. Then, he gently made a single stroke in the air with his hand. In an instant, it was as if the laws of the universe fell and the order was issued. Waves of invisible but irresistible forces swept across the people of the Yun Clan.

“Ah-! No! My mana’s all gone!”

“Bloodline, the power of my bloodline has disappeared!”

“No, I’ve forgotten all my skills! And my ultimate spells! How and why?”.

“No, my memory is fading, too!”

“Ah-!!” Yun Kong roared miserably, his face twisted from the pain. The pair of fiery red wings gradually disappeared from his forehead, and the Fallen God Bow and Fallen God Arrow in his hand fell to the ground.

Yun Kong found it hard to accept that he and his men were crippled by a mere vestigial consciousness. “How’s this possible? How can you do this to us?”

The others were paralyzed on the ground. One of them pointed at the people of the Heavenly Palace and said, “Why are you only targeting us? What about them? They, too, entered the ancestral land!”

“Because on them is an aura I can’t afford to offend,” said the phantom evenly.

“What?!” cried out the people of the Yun Clan in unison. This shocked them even more when they mistook the phantom for the Overlord. They were well aware that there was something extraordinary about the people of the Heavenly Palace, but they never thought that they were powerful enough to arouse fear in the phantom. There was not even a Wisdom Dictator among them.

Moreover, the phantom was the Overlord’s vestigial consciousness, so when it said that it could not afford to offend the Heavenly Palace, it could only mean the statement applied to the Overlord as well. Again, they could not help but wonder just exactly who those people were.

‘Isn’t the Overlord one of the supreme powers? Is there anything more powerful than that?’ Yun Kong and the others could not imagine it. Some of them did not quite believe it.

On the other hand, Nanan and the others were extremely calm. The phantom was right. No one could afford to cross the expert!

“Besides, there are two familiar auras on them.” The phantom smiled at Nanan and the others and raised his hand. Then, glowing willow branches and the stele’s stone floated out. They were like old friends greeting each other after a long period of non-contact.

Yun Kong’s face paled and he quickly said, “Overlord, I was wrong. Please, let me return to the Yun Clan. I promise to turn over a new leaf and follow the ancestral teachings forever.”

“Yes, Overlord, please, give us back our powers. We’ve learned our lesson,” begged the others also.

“No!” said the phantom ruthlessly.

The Yun Clan was plunged to the depths of despair when suddenly, a raspy and haughty voice came from somewhere. “If it’s power you want, I can give it to you, too!”

They all turned their heads to where the voice was coming from and were shocked to see that the new phantom looked exactly like the Overlord’s phantom.

As soon as he heard the voice, Yun Kong began to tremble all over and his face became red. “I know this voice! It’s you! You’re the one who told me that the ancestral land contained amazing fortunes and endless power!” he said angrily.

This was the voice that had bewitched him all year round, so much so that the idea of entering the ancestral land was planted in his mind.

The newly-arrived phantom smiled and said, “Yes, it’s me, and I didn’t lie to you. As long as you’re willing to submit to me, I can give you supreme power now!”

The real Overlord’s phantom frowned and sighed. “So, it’s you. I thought that by staying in the ancestral land, you’d be completely sealed, but it seems like you still managed to worm your way out.”
