I Am Overlord

Chapter 1467: Dark Devourer Clan's Surprise Appearance

With Xiang Shaoyun's growth in strength, the speed at which he could construct a formation had increased considerably. Since he didn't lack materials, he was able to complete the formation in less than three days. Now, the only thing left was to connect the nodes between the Ziling Sect and the City of Light.

"High priest, where exactly is the City of Light located?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

He had only visited the City of Light thrice and had yet to find out the city's actual location.

"The City of Light is located in the Eastern Pass's Light Province. This place had long been isolated from the world by a god-grade formation, and it is a territory that solely belongs to the angels," said the high priest.

"Eastern Pass's Light Province? That's very far away from the Ziling Sect. You need to personally connect the nodes if we want to activate the formation," said Xiang Shaoyun.

The Eastern Pass's Light Province was a tiny province to the east of the Eastern Pass. Facing the direction of the auspicious purple clouds, the province had thick ambient light energy and was the perfect location for the angels to live.

In the past, the angels had conquered the Light Province. But after encountering a certain disaster, the angels had weakened considerably. Forced to give up many of their cities, they only maintained their rule over five cities.

"Um. That is only natural," said the high priest. "We shouldn't delay it. Let's finish it right away."

Xiang Shaoyun could see how anxious the high priest was, so he didn't say anything. The two entered the void and started clearing the nodes between the two formations to connect the two teleportation formations.

The moment the high priest left the City of Light, alarm bells rang in his head. When he looked into the distance, fear covered his face as he cried out, "No! The great evil is arriving!"

Xiang Shaoyun activated his divine dao eyes and looked in the direction the high priest had looked. He could see a terrifying darkness moving toward the City of Light at rapid speed. Looking at the familiar darkness, he exclaimed, "That's the Dark Devourer Clan!"

The Dark Devourer Clan had long been expelled from the Devil Domain by the three other paramount devil clans. They had almost gone extinct in the Devil Domain, with their survivors being killed one after another.

And now, the Dark Devourer Clan had returned from the outside domain, coming straight for the City of Light. Their appearance could most definitely be considered a disaster for the dominion.

"We can't let them reach the city, or it will be disastrous for the angels! Shaoyun, think of something to expedite the completion of the formation. I'll go make them take a detour," said the high priest solemnly before flying away.

The Dark Devourer Clan had yet to truly arrive. They might seem near, but they were actually still very far away. The high priest had only detected the Dark Devourer Clan thanks to his powerful senses. As for Xiang Shaoyun, he had relied on his divine dao eyes. Anyone else would have probably failed to sense the Dark Devourer Clan's approach.

"High priest, come back!" Xiang Shaoyun called out.

Unfortunately, the high priest had already traveled far away. When he neared the Dark Devourer Clan, he unleashed a terrifying attack toward the darkness with the scepter in his hand.

Light Purification!

Instantly, boundless radiance spread out and bombarded the approaching darkness. The high priest was terrifyingly strong. The entire space before him was flooded with light. Instead of destroying the darkness, he was trying to seal and purify the darkness with the power of light. By doing so, he hoped to force the darkness to change its trajectory. The high priest used all his strength, reinforcing the power of light repeatedly. The space before him had seemingly transformed into a space of eternal light.

At this time, a voice rang out, "What an annoying power of light. Break!"

The darkness started revolving as boundless devilish energy rushed out. A powerful devouring force appeared and started devouring all the light energy released by the high priest.

In the blink of an eye, the darkness devoured the high priest's energy. At the same time, a clump of energy gushed toward him. Eyes turning solemn, the high priest pointed his scepter forward and unleashed a powerful torrent of light energy that collided against the incoming devilish energy.

The two God Realm energies collided. The devilish energy overcame the light energy and blasted the high priest away, sending him flying and coughing blood. Numerous figures shot out from the darkness. They were dark devourer devils, and their leader was an extremely powerful devil with vigorous strength. His eyes were akin to two black stars and emanated an extremely terrifying aura.

"So it's someone from that clan of birds? No wonder your aura is so annoying. Fine, I'll devour you and turn you into a blood sacrifice for my clan's return!" said the leader as he spat out a clump of baleful blood poison from his mouth. Instantly, the poison filled his surroundings.

The high priest showed no fear, as he was here with the determination to either stop the Dark Devourer Clan or die trying. He started chanting some unknown scriptures, and a halo formed above his head. Twelve wings unfurled behind him as a large amount of energy gathered around him. As though the god of light had descended, a massive amount of light energy formed a firm current that blocked the Dark Devourer Clan's advance.

"Don't even dream of getting through me!" said the high priest. He sat down cross-legged and purified the baleful blood poison with the abundant light energy around him. Not a single strand of the poison managed to get through his current of light.

"Turning your body into the dao? How many of us can you stop?" said the devil. With a roar, he charged forward with the devils behind him.

This group of dark devourer devils were merely scouts. After determining the route back to the dominion, more of them would arrive. Even so, there were eight Devil Gods among them. As for the rest of the devils, they were Devil Saints. One could say that this was an extremely terrifying group of devils. There might not be many of them, but they had enough strength to flatten several provinces.

An abundance of devilish energy shot toward the high priest. As for the high priest, he fearlessly unleashed all his strength, hoping to buy more time for the angels.
