Chapter 1823: Ge Yi Who Shoulders The Dominion

The newcomer had a pair of empty eye sockets in place of his eyes, yet the empty eye sockets seemed to contain boundless strength, as though they carried the universe in them. One would not dare to stare into the abyss that was his eyes.

Ge Yi, the man who had once stood alone against the alien invaders and gone missing. Now, he had reappeared when the dominion was on the brink of destruction. He unleashed all his strength, showcasing a strength at Baili Xiongshi's level.

Over a hundred years ago, he was only a Six Revolutions cultivator. In truth, that low cultivation was merely a result of his suppression. The alien invasion had forced him to step through the latter three stages.

He had only been suppressing his cultivation because he did not want to get involved in a power struggle with Qin Hongyan and Gongsun Yingxiong. Wealth and status were nothing to him.

But during chaotic times, only ultimate strength would allow one to dominate the universe. However, if not even Venerable Yuan Shi's clone, Kong Pingfan, and Baili Xiongshi could defeat Mo Busi, what could Ge Yi do?

Venerable Yuan Shi's clone, who was on the verge of dissipating, saw his disciple, and a gratified look covered his face. He wasn't feeling gratified by Ge Yi's strength but by his righteousness and valor in facing a powerful enemy alone.

"Another little rat that doesn't fear death. Who do you think you are?" said Mo Busi with derision as he attacked mercilessly.

Facing that attack, a totem of the dominion appeared behind Ge Yi. It was as though he was carrying the entire dominion on his back. An extraordinary power erupted from him, and at the same time, a stream of pure power flowed into his body, rapidly pushing his combat strength to a whole new level.

"World root essence!" cried Baili Xiongshi, who had just recovered somewhat from his injuries.

That was the power he had dreamed about obtaining. So long as he could absorb and refine it, he would be able to enter the Reincarnation Realm. He held onto that belief dearly.

Baili Xiongshi released his primal chaos profundity, trying to absorb the world root essence for himself. However, the world root essence remained unaffected. Rather, it continued to gather on Ge Yi's body, completing the totem of the dominion behind him.

"How is this possible? Why can't I absorb it?" roared Baili Xiongshi.

"I did not expect this disciple of mine to reach this level. He is the true guardian god," said Venerable Yuan Shi with a gratified look.

Ge Yi's strength continued soaring, but he still didn't manage to enter the Reincarnation Realm. Even so, his strength had reached a terrifying level.

From a different direction, Wu Xie looked at Ge Yi with respect. "Truly worthy of being my senior brother. As long as he wishes, he can easily surpass all of us."

The old immortal of the Immortal Road Chamber sighed and said, "This kid has actually reached this level. He is the dominion's true number one individual right now."

"Who could have guessed that this silent fellow had actually grown so strong," muttered the Guangling Palace's master.

"Damn that hateful Ge Yi," cursed the Celestial Alliance's master under his breath.

All the Gods of the dominion looked at Ge Yi from far away. They all sensed his extraordinary power, and they exclaimed in surprise.

"Lord Ge Yi is truly powerful. Is that a totem of the dominion behind him? How did he do it?"

"That is the undefeatable willpower of an honorable guardian. Lord Ge Yi has truly inherited Lord Yuan Shi's position."

"I knew the dominion wouldn't be destroyed. Lord Ge Yi will be able to protect us. Lord Ge Yi, you need to hang on!"

"Lord Ge Yi should have been the one to become the guild master. The two useless deputies and the new guild master must have grown up eating shit."

...

All the Gods cheered Ge Yi on. It wasn't like they had a choice. Ge Yi was their only hope. From a hidden location, Xiang Shaoyun was observing the battle. His blood burned as he wished for nothing more than to fight alongside his master. However, he stayed calm as he knew that his appearance would probably split his master's focus.

"Master, you're the strongest," said Xiang Shaoyun as he gripped his fists.

Even now, Xiang Shaoyun was still increasing his strength. He could feel the possibility of a connection between him and the world root essence as well, but he hadn't acted on it. He was sure that his master was utilizing the world root essence to grow. If he touched the essence, it might affect his master.

The only thing Xiang Shaoyun did was silently absorb the remnant energy left behind by Mo Busi, Venerable Yuan Shi, Kong Pingfan, and Baili Xiongshi during their battle earlier. After all, his astral cosmos sea could digest everything he absorbed.

Through observing the battle, he gained a new understanding of the concept of reincarnation. Undefeatable willpower was slowly forming in his heart. Although all those in the battle were super experts, Xiang Shaoyun didn't show any fear. He had confidence that one day he would reach their height or even surpass them.

Of course, having the willpower alone would be pointless. He needed sufficient strength to back it up. He was currently preparing himself for battle. If his master was defeated, he would have no choice but to fight as well.

However, he had only reached Eight Revolutions. Sure, he was already one of the strongest humans in existence, but he still needed more energy to grow. That was why he had refined and absorbed the divine primal chaos lotus seed.

Additionally, he had also absorbed the piece of divine essence he had obtained from the mysterious chest he had found in the Barbaric Dynasty. The divine essence was sealed by a super expert from the Barbaric Dynasty. Back when Xiang Shaoyun first obtained it, he did not even have the ability to undo the seal. But with his growth, he could now undo it.

Xiang Shaoyun had been saving the divine essence, but he had no choice but to use it now. He absorbed the two treasures, madly improving his cultivation base. Nobody would have expected that someone would still be growing stronger in preparation to battle against such a massive crisis. It was very rare to see someone with as much courage as Xiang Shaoyun.

Meanwhile, Mo Busi's attack finally arrived. Ge Yi pushed his palms out, forming layer upon layer of barriers to stop the attack outside the dominion.

Rumble! Rumble!

Terrifying explosions erupted while destruction at a level no words could describe rippled everywhere.
