Chapter 1452: The Dragon Society Submits

Just because Xiang Shaoyun had cultivated the Sky Measuring Step, it did not mean that he would abandon the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps. The Overlord's Nine Nether Steps was the footwork technique he had relied on to gain fame in his previous life. It was extremely powerful offensively, and he had presently mastered up to the seventh step of the offensive part of the technique. With it mastered, the technique's offensive ability had reached an unimaginable level.

After Xiang Shaoyun forged a pseudo-god body with the primal chaos lightning, his lightning bone was filled with primal chaos energy. Coupled with the primal chaos lightning in his astral cosmos sea, he could easily summon even more primal chaos lightning bolts.

Of course, the primal chaos lightning bolts he summoned weren't comparable with those he endured during his tribulation. However, they were terrifying enough to deal with the Great Saint he was facing.

After locking his aura onto the Great Saint, Xiang Shaoyun wrapped a layer of primal chaos lightning around his foot and stomped down. Facing the destructive attack, the Great Saint used all his strength to block it. However, he failed and was sent falling from the sky after sustaining serious injuries.

"Xun Li, I'll give you a hand!" said the other Great Saint before launching an attack at Xiang Shaoyun.

Space Shattering Palm!

The second Great Saint was even stronger than the first Great Saint. His palm attack carried a terrifying might enough to shatter space itself. After repeated attacks, the Great Saint finally managed to stop Xiang Shaoyun's attack, allowing the Great Saint called Xun Li to escape.

"Come at me together," said Xiang Shaoyun as he locked onto both the Great Saints. Using his palm as a blade, he gathered the primal chaos lightning energy in the air and slashed at the two.

Of the two Great Saints, Xun Li was only a brand new Great Saint. Nevertheless, he was still someone who had earned his name long ago in the Western Desert. The other Great Saint was He Xun, someone who had become a Great Saint for hundreds of years and was far stronger than Xun Li.

The many Saints around them were shocked by Xiang Shaoyun's decision to face two Great Saints at the same time. But when they sensed the overbearing power revolving around Xiang Shaoyun's body, they no longer dared to look down on him.

"Die!" Both He Xun and Xun Li roared at the same time and attacked with all their strength.

Space Shattering Palm!

Hundred Vanishing Palms!

Instantly, the sky was filled with palms that caused space to shatter. Additionally, numerous joined palms appeared and pierced through the void before shooting toward Xiang Shaoyun.

"Bring it on!" Xiang Shaoyun roared as his divine dao eyes flickered and shone brightly. Instantly, the openings of the attacks were revealed before his eyes. Using his hand as a blade, he slashed forward.

One slash to obliterate the stars!

The berserk lightning blade unleashed great destruction that could destroy even stars. The destructive primal chaos lightning energy instantly crushed through the two attacks. It was an extremely impressive feat for Xiang Shaoyun to rely only on the power of lightning against two Great Saints.

His lightning attacks collided against the two Great Saints again and again. The great destruction unleashed by their battle turned their surroundings into a void, and the sky above them started shaking.

The observers below them were all stunned. Xiang Shaoyun and the two Great Saints were too fast for them to see, but from the energy undulations, they could sense that the three combatants were existences they had no chance against.

"What a powerful young king among Saints. Truly worthy of being someone who was ranked first on the Saintly Forest Ranking," said Long Jun. He even started feeling like he was getting old.

Long Qianqiu and Jin Junyi also extinguished all thoughts of struggling against the Ziling Sect. That young man was truly too strong. His victory over the Dragon Society was well earned.

"The overlord will be victorious!" Despair suddenly roared.

Behind him, the Ziling Sect members also roared, "The overlord will be victorious!"

Their voice, their faith, and their morale formed a flower of incorporeal power that soared into the sky. The incorporeal power then clung to Xiang Shaoyun's body. When Xiang Shaoyun sensed the sudden inclusion of power that further increased his strength, he became even more ferocious in the fight.

As the battle progressed, the two Great Saints grew more and more fearful. They had never encountered a second-stage Saint capable of contending against Great Saints. This opponent was too terrifying. In their desperation, they even used their trump cards. If they couldn't suppress Xiang Shaoyun, they would be the ones to die.

"If this is all you can do, it's time for you to go down," said Xiang Shaoyun. Primal inception energy replaced the energy around his body as a nine-colored fist shot forth.

The primal inception energy was the strongest energy in existence, surpassing even the primal chaos energy, the yin and yang energies, and the other energies. It granted Xiang Shaoyun the strength to face Great Saints and even pseudo-Gods.

The two Great Saints squeezed out every bit of strength they had, unleashing different attacks that turned a massive area into a void. The collision of their attacks and Xiang Shaoyun's attack created so much destruction that even He Yuan and Green Ghost were alarmed.

"That truly is the rumored legendary energy," He Yuan exclaimed in alarm.

"Hmph. The overlord has boundless potential and the lord guardian as his backer. Your Taiqing Sect overestimates yourself. Before long, the overlord will achieve Godhood. At that time, nobody will be able to stop him. Offending him is the most idiotic decision you will ever make," said Green Ghost coldly. He did not take advantage of He Yuan's shock to attack.

As a peak Great Saint, he might be able to contend against He Yuan, but killing He Yuan was still too difficult. A pseudo-God was a completely different kind of existence when compared with a regular person. From this battle, Green Ghost had further improved. Perhaps he would finally be able to take that step forward into Godhood in the near future.

He Yuan sank into momentary thought. He sighed and said, "Forget it. The Taiqing Sect will pull out of this."

He then returned to the ground and said, "Everyone, return to the sect. The Taiqing Sect will no longer take part in the affairs concerning the Dragon Society."

He then rushed toward the two seriously injured Great Saints and protected them, preventing Xiang Shaoyun from killing the two.

"Lord He Yuan, you can't do that!" said Long Jun bitterly.

He Yuan didn't even spare him a glance. He wrapped his aura around his companions and tore space open before leaving. Xiang Shaoyun and Green Ghost did not give chase. Killing them would only further provoke the Taiqing Sect, which wouldn't be beneficial for their growth.

High in the sky, Xiang Shaoyun withdrew his energy and looked at the Dragon Society members below him. "Submit or die!"

His voice seemed to contain a certain power that reached straight for the depths of their hearts, erasing all thoughts of resistance.

Long Jun clenched his fists with indignation. Eventually, he lowered his head and said, "The Dragon Society is willing to submit."
