I Am Overlord

Chapter 1348: Reverse Robbery

"Kid, if you still—" The man unleashed his aura and tried to continue threatening Xiang Shaoyun. But before he could finish his words, a terrifying flame burst out from Xiang Shaoyun's body. That was no ordinary flame. Rather, it was Yun Flame, capable of threatening even Saints.

"Ahhh!" The man was no fire cultivator. His resistance to fire was incredibly low. Instantly, his entire body was enveloped by a burning sensation. He hurriedly retreated.

Xiang Shaoyun took the opportunity to rush forward and grab at his opponent. He was confident in his speed, but his target actually avoided him. That man was even able to send a kick his way, reacting far faster than Xiang Shaoyun had anticipated.

One ought to know that Xiang Shaoyun could easily capture any regular Saint. The man was evidently no ordinary person. When Xiang Shaoyun blocked the kick, he sensed a formidable power of wind coming from the leg. He realized that he was up against a wind cultivator.

"Kid, aren't you a ninth-stage Sovereign? Why are you so strong?" asked the man. He immediately realized that Xiang Shaoyun's strength couldn't be judged by his cultivation level.

"You finally realized that? It's too late now," said Xiang Shaoyun with a sneer as he increased his speed and attacked repeatedly.

Initially, the man could protect himself. After all, he was a second-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator. As someone qualified to enter the Saintforce Realm, he was no pushover. But as the intensity of Xiang Shaoyun's attack increased, he started losing confidence.

Xiang Shaoyun was starting to use fusion energies to attack. He wouldn't be able to capture this opponent otherwise. Facing the fusion energies, the man finally gave up. After barely avoiding an attack, he tried to flee.

"It's too late to flee. Stop right there!" said Xiang Shaoyun as he combined the power of his saint soul and soul foundation. His aura surged out and enveloped his escaping opponent. When the man sensed the aura of a late-stage Saint, his body turned stiff.

He was sure that facing such an opponent, he would be killed if he dared to try anything. Only now did he realize he had challenged the wrong person.

"Go on. Keep on running," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"B-bro, don't be like that. I was merely passing by. Just treat me as a fart and allow me to go, please," pleaded the man.

He now knew that he had encountered one of those freaks. This person's aura wouldn't be so terrifying otherwise.

"You tried to rob this young master just now. Hand over everything on you if you know what's good for you," said Xiang Shaoyun, as though he had turned into a professional bandit.

"B-but I don't have anything valuable on me," said the man sullenly.

He was here to perform a robbery. However, a reverse robbery happened instead. He felt incredibly gloomy.

"Looks like you really don't know what's good for you," said Xiang Shaoyun ferociously.

"No, please, fine, I'll take out everything I have," said the man. He hurriedly took out some items and said, "Here they are."

Xiang Shaoyun scanned the pile of items and snapped, "Are you playing a joke on me? You're trying to pay me off with only some emperor-grade items? Do you want me to kill you and take all your stuff with my own hands instead?"

Xiang Shaoyun then heavily kicked the man's rear, sending him crashing into the ground. It was an absolute humiliation for a Saint. The man didn't even have the courage to resist. He scrambled back on his feet and hurriedly took out everything else he had.

But after seeing what the man had, Xiang Shaoyun kicked him several more times, acting like he was about to execute him. After all, that man had only taken out some sovereign-grade items instead of saint-grade items.

The man felt like crying. He really didn't want to take out the saint-grade items he had gathered with great difficulty. But it seemed Xiang Shaoyun was really about to kill him if he kept holding back. Finally, the man conceded and took out a saint-grade herb, two-leaf grass.

The two-leaf grass was an earth elemental saint-grade herb. It was extremely beneficial for earth cultivators. Only after taking everything the man had offered did Xiang Shaoyun release him. Before leaving, the man asked, "Since you look down on those emperor-grade and sovereign-grade items, can you return them to me?"

As a result, he received a few more kicks and fled sullenly. Only after fleeing far away did he turn away and flip his middle finger in Xiang Shaoyun's direction. "Just you wait, kid. I will definitely return this humiliation to you in the future!"

Xiang Shaoyun spent several more days searching and obtained a few saint crystals. These crystals weren't as valuable as saint-grade herbs, but they were much more valuable than regular spirit crystals.

With only seven days left in the Saintforce Realm, Xiang Shaoyun stopped searching. He sat down and started studying the nine-colored crystal he found previously. But when he tried to take the crystal out, he found that the crystal had fused with his astral cosmos sea, becoming a part of the continent. He was stunned by the discovery.

"Just what kind of crystal is this? It actually fused with my astral cosmos sea?" Xiang Shaoyun muttered in astonishment.

He was quite a knowledgeable person, but he still had no idea what was going on with the crystal. He had guessed that the crystal might be similar in function with primal divine stones, something formed through the combination of nine energies and similar in essence with the primal inception energy in his astral cosmos sea. But the crystal's fusion with his astral cosmos sea caused him to be confused.

Xiang Shaoyun calmed himself and observed the changes in his astral cosmos sea. He needed to figure out what was happening. He soon discovered that the corporeal part of his astral cosmos sea had further solidified, as though a true continent had taken form in his astral cosmos sea. The primal inception energy in his astral cosmos sea had all gathered around the crystal and had formed a sort of connection with it.

The connection seemed to have transformed his astral cosmos sea, causing his astral cosmos sea to be filled with even more life force. As a result, all the plants in his astral cosmos sea were growing even better than before.
