I Am Overlord

Chapter 1606: Devouring Ghost Holding Out

All these years, Yu Caidie and Devil Concubine had slowly grown up. As the top geniuses of the ancient academies, they had long caught the attention of a top organization like the Celestial Alliance. The moment an opportunity presented itself, the organization would definitely try to recruit the two into their fold. Their beauty made the prospect of their membership even more appealing.

"We won't join. Leave," replied Devil Concubine.

"Devil Concubine, your Darkdevil Sect might be strong, but it's still too weak in comparison with the Celestial Alliance. If you join us, the Darkdevil Sect will be alleviated by at least a tier in status," said Lu Shenchuan.

"That's right. Yu Caidie, a prince of your Yu Clan had also joined us. If you join as well, the Yu Clan will only grow stronger in the future," said Zhuang Yifan.

"The Yu Clan has nothing to do with me," replied Yu Caidie in an apathetic manner.

"The Darkdevil Sect is close to the Guardians Guild. We won't join the Celestial Alliance," said Devil Concubine firmly.

"Looks like they look down on our Celestial Alliance," said Li An, who had been silent.

"Perhaps they will change their mind after we kill Xiang Shaoyun," said Zhuang Yifan coldly.

"Good idea. That's quite an annoying fellow, after all," said Lu Shenchuan.

"Trash like you can't hold a candle to the overlord. Without the Celestial Alliance as your backer, you would have died a long time ago," said Devouring Ghost furiously when he heard what they were saying.

"How impudent. Slap his mouth," commanded Zhuang Yifan with a frown.

At his command, someone charged out and swatted a massive palm at Devouring Ghost. The attacker was a peak Great Saint. That palm was enough to slap a mountain into fine powder. A regular Great Saint would have no chance of surviving that attack. However, Devouring Ghost was no ordinary Great Saint. He was a peak Great Saint who only lacked an opportunity to take the final step forward into the pseudo-God Realm.

Just as the slap was about to land, Devouring Ghost's hand shot out like a bolt of lightning. He grabbed the incoming palm, smiled coldly, and said, "You're making a move against me with this little strength? You're far from my match."

He exerted some force with his grip and snapped the Great Saint's palm. At the same time, his leg shot out and sent the peak Great Saint flying away. The peak Great Saint was supposed to be a formidable combatant among everyone in the same cultivation level, but he was like a helpless child before Devouring Ghost. All the Celestial Alliance members were astonished to see what happened.

Devouring Ghost was someone who once accompanied Xiang Shaoyun's previous life in his campaign to conquer the world. He was someone who had killed pseudo-Gods as a Great Saint. Thus, he did not fear anyone in the same cultivation realm.

"Looks like you're quite capable. No wonder you're so cocky. Unfortunately for you, we have more people on our side. What can you do all by yourself?" said Zhuang Yifan with a frown.

"However many people you have, anyone who takes even half a step toward this place will be killed," said Devouring Ghost as he licked his lips grimly.

"What an arrogant fellow. Huang Feng, teach him a lesson. We can't have him looking down on our Celestial Alliance," said Zhuang Yifan.

But before Huang Feng could do anything, the first Great Saint flew back and said, "Young Master Zhuang, allow me to regain my honor against this opponent."

He erupted with all his strength and took out a pseudo-god weapon. A thick concentration of energy converged on his weapon before being unleashed as a domineering attack toward Devouring Ghost.

That was an attack even a regular pseudo-God would have a hard time resisting, and it was a demonstration of the Great Saint's true strength. Devouring Ghost narrowed his eyes. The power of yin and yang surged out of his body, and he sent one of his Yin Yang Ghost Claws sweeping toward the incoming attack.

A terrifying stream of energy seemed to be flowing on the surface of the claw. Blades of alternating black and white tore the incoming attack apart like it was paper before striking his opponent's chest. Immediately, blood spurted out of the claw wounds.

"Ahhh!"

With a wail, the peak Great Saint was sent flying yet again.

"Huang Feng, make a move," said Zhuang Yifan without even sparing the Great Saint a glance.

The man called Huang Feng had an ugly face and a massive belly. With a pair of golden spikes in his hands, he charged toward Devouring Ghost with a ferocious smile on his face.

Hum!

A buzzing sound that resembled the hum of a bee rang out as Huang Feng transformed into a golden figure that stabbed toward Devouring Ghost's eyes.

Golden Wasp's Thorn!

The golden spikes seemed capable of penetrating everything. They were also highly toxic, capable of killing even pseudo-Gods. One ought to admit that Huang Feng was much stronger than the previous peak Great Saint, which was obvious from his speed and the energy emanating from his body.

Devouring Ghost bent backward and sent a kick at Huang Feng's crotch. Huang Feng leaped and stabbed furiously with his golden spikes, unleashing a rain of golden spikes that surrounded Devouring Ghost and made evasion impossible. That was an attack not even a pseudo-God could resist. He was simply too fast.

Devouring Ghost clawed repeatedly with his Yin Yang Ghost Claws, sending countless claws clashing against the golden spikes. Crisp sounds rang out repeatedly as chaotic energy undulations rippled out.

The spikes left many holes on Devouring Ghost's clothes, but fortunately, none of the spikes could leave any damage on his skin. Otherwise, he would have been poisoned and suffered a drop in his strength.

Huang Feng wasn't exactly having a good time. Devouring Ghost's claws were incomparably sharp, and they left countless claw marks on his body.

An intense battle erupted between the two.

Wasp Swarm!

Heaven and Hell!

Neither wanted the fight to drag on, so they immediately unleashed their trump cards, aiming to quickly kill the other. Numerous wasps appeared as though someone had provoked a swarm of demonic wasps. Countless stings shot out, unleashing an attack impossible to guard against.

On the other side of the battleground, scenes of heaven and hell appeared as the powers of yin and yang revolved and formed a power that could destroy everything in existence. The two attacks collided and created numerous shockwaves. The surrounding people scattered in panic, and only a few could remain unaffected by the shockwaves.

"Huang Feng's defeat is imminent," said Li An as his eyes lit up sharply.

Sure enough, Huang Feng could be seen dropping from the sky after being clawed by Devouring Ghost right after Li An made his remark. Devouring Ghost might have defeated Huang Feng, but a bloody hole had also been left on his body. Poison spread all over him, and things would be bad for him if he didn't deal with the poison soon.

"He's poisoned. End him," commanded Zhuang Yifan as he looked at someone else.

"Anyone who dares to lay a hand on him will die a miserable death!" a furious voice suddenly rang out from not far away.
