I Am Overlord

Chapter 1640: Blood Spirit Flees

Chapter 1640: Blood Spirit Flees

Since even flame energy would have a hard time instantly erasing the entirety of Blood Spirit's existence, Xiang Shaoyun latched his death energy onto all the chunks of flesh he had cut Blood Spirit into, attempting to corrode them into nothingness.

Just as he was doing so, Blood Spirit underwent yet another transformation. His flesh changed, instantly turning the chunks of flesh into over 1,000 clones of himself before absorbing all the death energy.

"I have an undying body. No matter what power you use, you can't kill me," declared Blood Spirit with a sneer. The clones then swarmed Xiang Shaoyun.

Each of his clones attacked with a different ability, such as tentacles, stone golems, illusions, dark energy, and so on. The attacks completely surrounded Xiang Shaoyun, isolating him from his surroundings.

With the Black Yin Gravity Field, Xiang Shaoyun remained relatively unharmed. He knew very well that the flood of attacks was merely interference. The true killing attack would probably remain hidden somewhere. Sure enough, with his divine dao eyes, he saw a concealed figure shooting toward him.

Traceless and Shadowless!

That was one of Blood Spirit's speed abilities, one that granted him incredible speed. The ability also allowed him to hide his body, leaving only a shadow behind. In this form, even a God would have a hard time detecting him. Unfortunately, his opponent was Xiang Shaoyun, whom he wouldn't be able to hide from.

Three Lives Fist, Past Life!

Taking a step forward, Xiang Shaoyun unleashed his Three Lives Fist. The domineering fist seemed to punch through an entire era, erasing the entirety of one's past life.

Blood Spirit had not expected that Xiang Shaoyun would be able to locate his main body. Thus, he was forced to give up on his attack and focus on defending instead. Once again, he was smashed into pieces. The gap between the two was considerable, even though Blood Spirit had combined the abilities of the various races.

"I refuse to believe I won't be able to defeat you! Ultimate fusion upgrade!" Blood Spirit roared as all his clones returned to his main body. He started enlarging, eventually taking the form of a powerful life form.

He had taken the form of a warlike race, the battle apes! In the form of an ape with golden fur, Blood Spirit formed a golden staff in his hand. With a spin of the staff, he lashed out at Xiang Shaoyun. In the battle ape form, his combat strength had increased by several times. His attacks were domineering, and space itself cracked under the might of his staff. He had gained a strength beyond a third-stage God, putting him at a level comparable to a fourth-stage God.

Xiang Shaoyun lifted his Primal Inception Saber and pushed his speed to his limits. He swung his saber repeatedly, sending one slash after another toward the golden staff as primal chaos lightning surged out of his body.

Numerous shockwaves spread out in the sky, causing the world around them to shake. The surrounding people further distanced themselves from the two. A battle of this level was not something they could get involved in. So powerful were their collisions that cracks were appearing on the seal of the ancient battlefield. Nobody had expected something like that to happen.

The ancient battlefield's seal was very powerful, but after so many years, it had naturally weakened. Furthermore, the numerous imprisoned aliens had been incessantly trying to damage it. With the addition of a battle between two powerful combatants, it was not surprising that cracks would appear on the seal.

There were only seven days before the participants were supposed to leave the ancient battlefield, but those in charge of the competition had already noticed the damage done to the seal.

The God standing guard over the ancient battlefield muttered to himself, "The seal is breaking apart. It won't be that easy to seal the ancient battlefield up again this time. Hopefully, those little rascals killed all the aliens. Otherwise, things will be troublesome if all the aliens escaped."

Blood Spirit and Xiang Shaoyun clashed repeatedly, with Blood Spirit being beaten back again and again. His body was smashed into pieces many times, but he was always able to reform his body. Xiang Shaoyun was also having a bad time due to the various abilities Blood Spirit used against him. Also worrying was the fact that the moment he fully exhausted his soul power, his strength would drop considerably.

Naturally, Blood Spirit was unable to maintain his peak strength for too long. Without any new flesh to devour and with the many injuries he kept suffering, he had weakened considerably. The result of the battle would probably be dependent on which of the two would be fully exhausted first.

Xiang Shaoyun gritted his teeth and fully unleashed the might of the Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique and the destructiveness of lightning. Xiang Shaoyun did come close to killing Blood Spirit many times.

Unfortunately, Blood Spirit was too tenacious. In any case, the two were quite evenly matched in strength. It would only be possible for Xiang Shaoyun to truly erase Blood Spirit if he was much stronger than him.

The longer the battle dragged on, the more fearful Blood Spirit became. He had already used every trick he had at his disposal, yet he still failed to defeat Xiang Shaoyun. He was already starting to consider retreating. After all, his main goal was to break free of the ancient battlefield, and he could sense that something had changed around him and that leaving was no longer impossible.

"Alright, I'm not wasting more time with you. Our fight ends here," said Blood Spirit before charging Xiang Shaoyun and detonating his body.

Devouring Eruption!

The terrifying explosion blasted Xiang Shaoyun's soul clone away. The clone's soul power weakened rapidly, and the explosion also further enlarged the crack on the seal. Blood Spirit then took the chance to escape through the crack.

"Haha, human world, here I am! I'll devour the entirety of the human race and become the master of this world!" Blood Spirit departed, leaving only his maniacal laughter behind.

Xiang Shaoyun couldn't even stop Blood Spirit in time. Moreover, the crack was constantly closing up, and only Blood Spirit, who could freely transform his body, could easily slip through the small crack.

When Xiang Shaoyun's clone returned to his main body, a solemn look covered his face as he said, "This is bad. If Blood Spirit manages to reach the dominion, many lives will perish."

"Boss, are you fine?" asked Little White.

"I'm fine, but that fellow managed to escape," said Xiang Shaoyun as he shook his head.

Since he had no way of leaving the ancient battlefield for now, he could only hope that there were some experts outside to deal with Blood Spirit. He then focused on dealing with the remaining aliens while searching for more treasures in the ancient battlefield. After all, the aliens had gathered quite a collection of ancient treasures. With the tentacled monster under his control, Xiang Shaoyun would have no trouble uncovering all those treasures.

Meanwhile, Blood Spirit had finally arrived and appeared in the sky of the outside world. With a look of greed, he said, "Haha, there is indeed a lot of food out here!"
