I Am Overlord

Chapter 1460: Youve Finally Returned

Chapter 1460: You've Finally Returned

The previous time Despair met Purple Lightning Marquis and Scarlet Flame Monarch was when Xiang Shaoyun first returned to the Ziling Sect. When he found himself unable to see through their cultivation, he knew that these two were probably existences no weaker than Green Ghost.

Now that he was meeting them again, he found himself still incapable of seeing through their cultivation. Rather, a single glance from them gave him a feeling of great unease, especially from the purple-haired youth. The purple-haired youth had a pair of eyes akin to rumbling lightning, giving him a terrifying sense of oppression. Despair did not even dare to look straight into the purple-haired youth's eyes.

He can't be a Rebirth Realm God, right? thought Despair to himself.

"Despair, these two are the grand guardians, Purple Lightning and Scarlet Flame. Both of them are stronger than you. If you have any issues in your cultivation, feel free to seek guidance from them," introduced Xiang Shaoyun.

Both Purple Lightning Marquis and Scarlet Flame Monarch had unique identities. Although they had disappeared for 10,000 years, the moment their past enemies found out about their reappearance, the Ziling Sect would be faced with a great disaster.

Despair did not dare to show the two any disrespect. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, lords."

"Someone the overlord is personally introducing to us is definitely not an ordinary person. You may be my little brother from now on," said Scarlet Flame Monarch.

"If he can become a pseudo-God, he can probably become one of us, one of the five great generals," said Purple Lightning Marquis.

Evidently, the two thought highly about Despair. They liked the feeling Despair gave off, as his aura was the aura of a killer, proving that he shared a similar personality to them. Despair did find their words agreeable. Although he was weaker than them, he would become a Great Saint soon. He was also confident that he would enter the Rebirth Realm in the future as well. Apart from Xiang Shaoyun, he wouldn't be willing to become anyone's little brother.

"I want him to become a Great Saint in six months. Do your best," said Xiang Shaoyun before leaving.

"Little brother, you're already on the brink of breakthrough. Come, I'll give you nice training and help you break through in six months," said Scarlet Flame Monarch as he clawed at Despair.

As Scarlet Flame Monarch had regained his peak strength, his movement was incredibly fast. Instantly, his hand reached Despair. No matter how fast Despair was, a bloody claw-mark was still left on his chest.

"Hiss!" Despair took a deep breath as his battle intent soared. Drawing his saber, he slashed at Scarlet Flame Monarch.

He was very clear that with the guidance of a peak Great Saint, he could realistically reach the Great Saint Realm in six months. Soon, the two were high in the sky. Battling up there, they wouldn't cause any damage to the sect.

Next, Xiang Shaoyun met Gong Qinyin, Lady Shura, and Guo Po. He cleansed their bodies with primal inception energy, greatly enhancing their bodies and smoothening their paths of cultivation.

Gong Qinyin's zither dao had reached an incredible level, helping her reach the Sovereign Realm. As for the Seven Severing Tune, she had mastered five tunes, which granted her the ability to fight those with cultivation level two stages higher than her.

As for Lady Shura, she was worthy of being a Dragon Phoenix Academy disciple. In the past, not even Long Yugang was her match. Now that primal inception energy had cleansed her body, her combat strength had increased even more. In fact, Xiang Shaoyun planned to bring her back to the Dragon Phoenix Academy with him.

Meanwhile, Guo Po had reached the Skysoar Realm after receiving the guidance of several Ziling Sect elders and Xiang Shaoyun's teachings. His eyes had also become more and more powerful and could now release beams that could instantly kill those stronger than him.

He was now an 18 years old young man. He might not look too handsome, but his pair of eyes was incredibly spirited. With a steadfast face and a straight figure, he looked like a talented young genius.

During Ziling Sect's promotion, Guo Po had managed to enter the fourth-stage Skysoar Realm after absorbing the rain of energy. With his ability to punch above his class, he now possessed enough strength to stand on his own.

Xiang Shaoyun started teaching Guo Po some powerful battle techniques. He also imparted upon Guo Po his comprehension of the profundity of powers, hoping that Guo Po could comprehend the profundity of earth and saber intent.

After the primal inception energy cleansed Guo Po's body, his physique improved even further. He started traveling the world, trying to gain some accomplishments with his own strength to live up to what Xiang Shaoyun had taught him.

Xiang Shaoyun did not stop Guo Po. Rather, he supported Guo Po's decision. After all, if all Guo Po did was stay in the sect, it would be very hard for him to grow into a real expert.

Right before Xiang Shaoyun set off for the Dragon Phoenix Academy, Devouring Ghost returned with Du Xuanhao and Hua Cheng. Xiang Shaoyun was naturally overjoyed to see the two.

"Big Brother Du, Big Sister Hua, you're finally back!"

Du Xuanhao and Hua Cheng both dropped to their knees and said, "Du Xuanhao (Hua Cheng) greets the young sect master. We beg for your forgiveness for our tardiness."

Xiang Shaoyun hurriedly helped them up and said, "Big Brother Du, Big Sister Hua, there's no need for all that. I was merely worried that something bad had happened to you two. That was why I had Devouring Ghost look for you. Fortunately, both of you are fine."

Xiang Shaoyun could sense that Du Xuanhao had reached peak Sovereign Realm. As for Hua Cheng, she had also reached the third-stage Sovereign Realm. They had grown much stronger than before. But when he saw that Du Xuanhao only had one arm left, his eyes flickered murderously.

In the past, Devouring Ghost brought Du Xuanhao to go looking for the Saber Devil's inheritance. Du Xuanhao had successfully obtained the inheritance and had since grown rapidly. However, he hadn't managed to reach peak Sovereign Realm at the time. Thus, his further growth in cultivation must be due to his subsequent fortuitous encounters.

Du Xuanhao was about to tell Xiang Shaoyun what he had done all these years when Xiang Shaoyun stopped him. Everyone had their own secret. Xiang Shaoyun did not need to know Du Xuanhao's secrets. He only needed to know the culprit behind Du Xuanhao's severed arm.

Du Xuanhao did not hide anything. After leaving the sect to take his revenge, his enemies had managed to sever one of his arms. However, he had also successfully killed his enemies.

Upon hearing that, Xiang Shaoyun's killing intent faded away. He said, "Don't worry, Big Brother Du. It won't be hard to regrow your arm. Have Old Yao refine a lifebone pill for you. With the pill, you can even temper your physique somewhat, which will help you reach the Heaven Battling Realm sooner."

"Thank you, young sect master," said Du Xuanhao gratefully. He took out a damaged map, handed it to Xiang Shaoyun, and said, "Young sect master, this might be the map of a ruined dynasty. I had obtained it accidentally, but it is of no help for me. You should be the one to have it instead."
