Chapter 1620: Formidable Opponent

Devouring Eruption!

That was the innate ability of the Dark Devourer Clan, but for some reason, this alien knew it as well. Xiang Shaoyun was caught completely off guard. His fist clashed with the explosion, creating an even more terrifying explosion.

Their vicinity was flattened, and even the distant Overlord Legion members hurriedly retreated in panic. As for the weaker ones among them, the shockwaves sent them flying away while coughing blood.

Xiang Shaoyun bore the brunt of the explosion. Before he could even erect any defenses, his god body cracked, his organs shattered, and his body crashed into the ground. If it wasn't for the fact that he had already forged a true god body, the explosion would have been enough to destroy his entire body.

"Overlord!" the Overlord Legion members cried out in alarm as they all hurried toward Xiang Shaoyun.

Meanwhile, the alien was rapidly reforming his body. It then sent his tentacles toward Xiang Shaoyun yet again.

"I'll devour you for sure this time!" said the alien. His aura had weakened considerably, but his life force was still as powerful as ever. Countless tentacles stretched out and wrapped around Xiang Shaoyun. Numerous openings appeared on the surface of the tentacles, attempting to suck Xiang Shaoyun dry.

As Xiang Shaoyun was already in a rather bad condition, his opponent was able to quickly devour some of his blood essence. At that realization, he started struggling. But this time, his primal chaos lightning seemed to be much weaker than before. It failed to force his opponent away from him.

"Stop struggling. Become a part of me. I am the future lord of the universe," said the alien as he howled with laughter, a malevolent expression on his face.

"Is that so? Bring it on," said Xiang Shaoyun. He started manipulating his flesh and blood to interfere with the devouring process. He also activated his Light of Wisdom and instantly thought of a way out of his predicament. He activated the profundity of death, and death energy rippled out. All the life force in Xiang Shaoyun's body vanished while countless death energy surged into the alien's body through his tentacles.

Roar!

The alien's body started withering the moment he devoured the death energy. His life force was invaded, and he instantly withdrew his tentacles in panic.

Profundity of life!

The moment Xiang Shaoyun was released, he activated his life force and healed his body rapidly. The Primal Inception Saber appeared in his hand, and he furiously swung at the alien.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several slashes were unleashed, and each slash was powered by primal inception energy, which granted the slashes the might to rend the heaven and sever the earth. The alien abruptly transformed, his body shrinking into a miniature version of himself. He then charged Xiang Shaoyun from a different direction. His body's transformation looked incredibly odd as he had changed completely. It looked as though he had the ability to alter his body at any given moment.

Ethereal Baleful Venomous Sting!

The venomous sting was very small, and due to its speed, it was barely detectable. Without the divine dao eyes, Xiang Shaoyun would have been struck before he could detect it. Xiang Shaoyun blocked the sting with the Primal Inception Saber before swinging the saber repeatedly, unleashing an unending string of slashes toward his opponent.

"I refuse to believe I won't be able to hit you!" roared the alien, displaying a tenacious battle intent. His body flickered about as he avoided the attacks and approached Xiang Shaoyun. The moment he reached him, he erupted with an extremely peculiar attack.

Break The Whole Into Pieces!

His body split into several clones, and each clone was as real as the main body. The clones swarmed Xiang Shaoyun, biting at him with sharp fangs that seemed capable of breaking even god-grade weapons.

Not even the primal chaos lightning around Xiang Shaoyun's body could stop the bites. He clenched his teeth in pain and was forced to release his death energy once again. As death energy enveloped the miniature clones around him, the Imperial Nether Domain was released as well. He was determined to kill this alien.

However, the alien was not one to fall for the same move twice. The moment he noticed Xiang Shaoyun releasing the Imperial Nether Domain, he retreated at his top speed. Even in the Imperial Nether Domain, Xiang Shaoyun was unable to subdue this opponent.

"With my current strength, I can't do anything to you. However, I only need to keep growing, and I'll be able to turn you into my food before long," declared the alien before he fled.

He was fleeing in the direction of the Overlord Legion, which had just arrived.

When Xiang Shaoyun noticed, his expression changed, and he shouted, "Watch out! A powerful alien is heading your way!"

Xiang Shaoyun did not dare to waste any time and rushed over as fast as he could. He had to drive the alien away, or more people would die.

The Overlord Legion was on full alert, but the alien's transformations and speed weren't something anyone could contend against. Several members were sucked dry and reduced to withered skin before they even knew what was happening.

"Blood demon, go deal with him," commanded Devouring Ghost immediately.

Like the alien, the blood demon was also a living being that grew stronger through devouring the blood of others. It only needed a drop of blood to reforge its body from full destruction, and it was similarly capable of countless transformations. It was Devouring Ghost's strongest clone.

The blood demon had been nurtured to the pseudo-God level, which was the result of the large amount of alien blood it had devoured. As it charged toward the alien, it utilized its powerful blood energy to lock onto its opponent, attempting to devour the alien's blood.

However, the alien became excited the moment he sensed the blood demon. With a hearty laugh, he exclaimed, "A blood seed of my race? I'll grow even stronger after devouring you!"

The alien thus gave up on everyone else and charged toward the blood demon, aiming to devour the blood demon whole. Both of them were living beings with formidable devouring abilities. As their energies clashed, blood energy rippled out in all directions.

At this time, Xiang Shaoyun arrived and said, "Move away! This alien is very terrifying. I'll eliminate him!"

He paid no regard to the blood demon and gathered all his strength into the Primal Inception Saber as he prepared to unleash a slash.

At this point, Xiang Shaoyun was truly infuriated. He drew a large amount of energy from his astral cosmos sea—flooding his surroundings with nine-colored primal inception energy—and launched a destructive slash that threatened to end all life.One slash to obliterate the stars!

The alien sensed the threat posed by the slash, and he hurriedly transformed into a clump of mist after devouring almost half of the blood demon's life force. He then rushed out of Xiang Shaoyun's attacking range.

Rumble! Rumble!

Xiang Shaoyun's slash was capable of erasing all existence. The attack created a massive crater on the ground as though attempting to sink the entire area deep into the ground. When the dust settled, pieces of the blood demon became visible. Fortunately, the blood demon was able to reform its body, so it wasn't fully dead. However, it had lost almost half its life force, and the alien was nowhere to be seen.

"The next time we meet, I'm devouring you for sure!" came the alien's voice from far away.
