I Am Overlord

Chapter 1417: Robbing the World of Its Fortune, Ranked First on the Saintly Ranking

The birth of each star required a long process and a long passage of time. Of the many stars, there were life stars that could support a myriad of lives. Of the many stars, there were also death stars that could not support any life.

Death stars could come into existence easily, while life stars rarely came into existence as they required a massive amount of energy. Only with primal chaos energy and yin and yang energies would life be supported. After the nine shattered stars merged with the astral cosmos sea, a true life star had taken form.

Meanwhile, high in the sky, numerous phenomena manifested. The sun and the moon revolved while the river of stars surged. Dragon roars and phoenix cries reverberated in the sky while the mythical qilin and black tortoise also manifested in the sky, covering the world with a nine-colored radiance.

In the imperial palace, the person in the dragon robe shouted in excitement, "Men, prepare to head to the Saintly Forest Courtyard!"

Such a unique series of phenomena was destined to bring great fortune to the Dusk Dynasty. As the ruler of the dynasty, he could no longer maintain his calm. The imperial teacher also personally set off from the Imperial Teacher Residence, and the other first-rank officials also headed toward the Saintly Forest Courtyard one after another.

One could say that this was the day worthy of being recorded in the Dusk Dynasty's history. Auspicious phenomena appeared one after another, the emperor personally left the palace, and numerous officials gathered. This was a scene that wouldn't appear even if a God was to personally appear in the city.

In the Saintly Forest Courtyard, the many plants started emitting life force. Even the spring water started pulsing with life force. This was something that had never happened before. As for the various Saints in the Saintly Forest Courtyard, they could all feel some sort of energy wash over them, giving them a comfortable sensation that caused them to be relaxed. Their cultivations started rising, and their comprehension of what they cultivated also deepened.

It seemed like Xiang Shaoyun had created quite a karmic reaction. One ought to know that to influence the comprehension of others while one was comprehending the dao, one needed to first enter the God Realm. Nobody below the God Realm was supposed to be capable of such a feat.

All the old cultivators in the Saintly Forest Courtyard left seclusion. Looking at Xiang Shaoyun, who was standing before the Saintly Forest Stele, their eyes shone brightly. Those at their level would rarely be affected by the affairs of the world. Today, the phenomena created by Xiang Shaoyun had affected them.

Nobody knew what was happening in Xiang Shaoyun's body. If they knew, they would probably have the urge to dissect and study him. He was basically robbing the world of its fortune to create a never-before-seen star.

There were historical records detailing how one could reach the apex even with one star. However, it was never recorded that someone could actually form a true life star in one's body. This had never happened before.

At present, all the shattered stars in Xiang Shaoyun's body had fully merged with his astral cosmos sea. The astral cosmos sea had transformed into a single star. Within the star, all the spiritual plants were growing lushly on the ground. Up in the sky, primal inception energy floated about like clouds. The amount of primal inception energy increased as time passed.

All the different energies in his astral cosmos sea, such as his dark origin energy, flux goldthorn energy, lightning origin energy, mystic earth essence energy, and Yun Flame, had also converged upon the primal inception energy, helping the primal inception energy to rapidly grow. Eventually, the entire star was filled with primal inception energy, shrouding the astral cosmos sea in a nine-colored radiance that looked incomparably beautiful.

While a large amount of energy was entering the astral cosmos sea, the stele finally changed. The token hanging on Xiang Shaoyun's waist suddenly flew out. The name carved on the token formed some sort of connection with the stele. Next, Xiang Shaoyun's name appeared on the stele, accompanied by a brilliant golden radiance.

The moment the name appeared, it started rising rapidly, surpassing one legend after another. All the surrounding Saints were stunned. Finally, the name stopped at the very top of the stele. The surrounding Saints felt like they were in a dream, unable to believe that Xiang Shaoyun had reached the top of the ranking just like that.

First rank on the Saintly Forest Ranking, Xiang Shaoyun!

News of his ranking rapidly spread throughout the Imperial Sunset City. Before long, the same news would probably spread throughout the world.

The radiance surrounding the stele slowly receded while the radiance around Xiang Shaoyun's body started slowly withdrawing into him. Numerous cracks sounded from his body. Those were the sounds made by the evolution of his meridians, organs, and bones. His saint body shone with a bright luster that filled the surrounding onlookers with envy.

At present, Xiang Shaoyun's saint body had surpassed that of a regular Saint. He had gained a filthless body comparable to the body of Great Saints. One could even say that his body was comparable to a semi-God's body. After all, no Saint had ever obtained such a body before.

Xiang Shaoyun was akin to a deity that had descended from the heavens. He had truly become an existence that stood aloof from the mortal world. He had fully recovered his astral cultivation. His meridians were once again filled with surging energy, which circulated rapidly within his body before converging on his astral cosmos sea. After absorbing the incoming energy, the astral cosmos sea responded by sending out primal inception energy, covering his body with a nine-colored radiance that made him look incredibly sacred.

The true Primal Inception Physique had finally come into existence. Rising from the ashes, he reversed the cosmos and converged the nine stars, achieving the supreme dao!

The Desolation mantra became Xiang Shaoyun's new cultivation method, and the nine different profundities formed a resonance with each other within his body. Any outside energy would instantly be transformed into primal inception energy upon entering his astral cosmos sea.

He no longer needed to use his stars as the filter to create new primal inception energy. To be precise, his astral cosmos sea had gained the functions of a star and an astral cosmos sea—it could carry his cultivation base and still maintain its storage capabilities.

Finally, Xiang Shaoyun opened his eyes. It was as though various stars were revolving within his eyes, allowing him to see through the world. This was an ability far superior to his gift of instincts, an ability known as the divine dao eyes.

The divine dao eyes was an ability that even Gods would have a hard time obtaining. As for Xiang Shaoyun, his body had become completely different from before after gaining the Primal Inception Physique. Even his eyes became far more powerful than before. One could say that the Primal Inception Physique was a unique and unmatched physique capable of defying the natural law.

The moment Xiang Shaoyun stood up, the world around him changed. Black clouds covered the sky above him as though the monarch of devils had arrived, filling the hearts of everyone in the city with fear. A berserk rain of lightning started falling upon Xiang Shaoyun.
