I Am Overlord

Chapter 578: Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist

Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist!

These were the words left behind by the gravekeeper elder, the name of the fist technique he had just demonstrated. It was an extremely domineering name, one that matched the technique\'s might. Xiang Shaoyun blanked out for a long time after looking at the words on the ground.

The gravekeeper elder was nowhere to be seen. Xiang Shaoyun was filled with excitement, but he also had a sense of loss. The gravekeeper elder had taught him so much yet had not accepted him as a disciple, leaving before he could even voice his gratefulness.

Xiang Shaoyun swept his gaze at the building before him. He knelt down and kowtowed three times respectfully before saying, "No matter what, I already consider you my master. I, Xiang Shaoyun, will not forget the favor you have shown me. I will let the Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist shine brightly and spread its fame far and wide."

After saying that, he sat down cross-legged and started replaying the Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist move by move in his Nether Soul Domain. His soul body also moved along and started practicing the fist technique.

Gift of visualization!

It was one of the unique talents granted to Xiang Shaoyun by the Nether Soul Domain. He had known of this talent ever since he had started cultivating, and it was a talent he frequently utilized, one that helped him be successful in every endeavor.

This Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist did not come with an accompanying mantra. However, the gravekeeper elder had personally taught and demonstrated it. Each move showcased the key point of the technique, and by comprehending these moves, the fist technique could be mastered.

The Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist did not have complicated moves, but it had a great emphasis on the utilization of force, borrowing the power of stars to reverse the cosmos and destroy the dao. That was the essence of this fist technique.

Using the Nether Soul Domain, Xiang Shaoyun replayed the fist technique again and again. His soul body also practiced it repeatedly, and after many attempts, he finally started gaining some comprehension of it. This was a fist technique without an element. Thus, it could be used alongside any type of astral energy. That was also part of the reason why the fist technique was so valuable.

One ought to know that the higher the cultivation, the more a cultivator relied on astral energy in battle. This particular fist technique worked in a completely different manner. It was able to utilize both the astral energy within a cultivator and all the energies in the surroundings to unleash its might.

Xiang Shaoyun had a vague feeling that the Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist was not just another fist technique. It was akin to a celestial fist technique. After completely memorizing all the moves, he stood up and started moving his body, sending a completely ordinary and mediocre punch toward the thin air.

Instantly, it was as if nine stars had appeared around him. A projection of the cosmos overturning and a river of stars roiling appeared around him as an ancient aura spread out, releasing a domineering destructive might that could plant fear in anyone\'s heart.

The natural energy in the surrounding air was pulled over to the fist and moved alongside it, filling the fist with an incomparable explosiveness. Unfortunately, even with Xiang Shaoyun\'s strength, he could only display one percent of the fist\'s might. Yet just that little bit of might was enough to awe any Emperor in existence.

Xiang Shaoyun brandished his fists repeatedly, his movements bold, crushing complexity with simplicity, exuding an exceeding overbearingness. He had only cultivated for a short while, yet he had already exhausted a great amount of energy. The exhaustion rate was comparable to the Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique, perhaps even higher.

He thus sat down to recover. Suddenly, he thought of the nine-colored fog within his body and wondered what would happen if he powered the fist with the fog. At that thought, he couldn\'t hold back his curiosity and quickly stood up and charged toward the pile of bones. When they sensed him approaching, they reformed into skeletons and swarmed him.

Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist!

With roar, Xiang Shaoyun drew out the nine-colored fog from within his astral cosmos sea, shrouding himself with a nine-colored radiance, making him seem filled with energy. As he threw the punch at the skeletons, the destructive force surrounding his fist surged while the projection of nine stars around him sharpened.

A torrential might seemingly capable of shattering stars swept forth. A series of explosions erupted as a large number of skeletons were transformed into powder. One ought to know that these skeletons were formed of sovereign-grade bones that were comparable to top-tier emperor weapons in toughness. In fact, even some sovereign weapons would have difficulty outright destroying them.

Xiang Shaoyun himself had personally experienced their toughness. But now, after powering the Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist with his nine-colored fog, the bones became so fragile, directly reduced into fine powder by his punch. It was too shocking. Even he stood there in stupefaction as he gazed at the large expanse of white powder before him.

"Haha, my persistence to cultivate nine powers is correct!" Xiang Shaoyun finally recovered from his shock and started howling with laughter.

The nine-colored fog was formed of nine different powers, containing both the power of life and destruction. Perhaps that was the ultimate secret of cultivating nine powers. It was a realization that caused Xiang Shaoyun to be wild with joy.

After all, he had been hesitating ever since he had heard the gravekeeper elder\'s narrative, not knowing what kind of setback was waiting ahead of him. But after once again witnessing the prowess of the nine-colored fog, he regained hope and no longer felt so lost about his future. He was now confident that his choice was right. Perhaps others had failed because they hadn\'t been able to form the nine-colored fog in their astral cosmos seas like him.

And thus, Xiang Shaoyun spent his days studying both the ancient mantra and the Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist every single day. He also started forming more nine-colored fog within him with the powers of his nine stars.

The nine-colored fog within him had become extremely thick ever since he had absorbed the gathered astral energies during his assessment. And with his recent growth his strength, his astral cosmos sea had expanded considerably, allowing him to gather a rather sizable amount of nine-colored fog within himself.

Furthermore, after filling all nine of his stars with nine unique powers, he was able to form an unending cycle within him that constantly replenished him with energy. Thus, he no longer needed to worry that the nine-colored fog would be fully exhausted before he could even do much with it.

After spending about two months in cultivation, his cultivation base was now extremely robust, pushing him to the very peak of the Skysoar Realm. He only needed to finish forming his draconic aura and he would be able to easily enter the Emperor Realm.

It was at this time that the academy finally sent some people to take him out. Xiao Wei was not among them. Instead, they were the grand guardians. Naturally, Xiang Shaoyun had a rather unsightly expression when he saw the grand guardians. After all, they had been trying to make him cripple himself and restart his cultivation focusing on a single power.

This time, when the grand guardians saw that Xiang Shaoyun was still cultivating nine powers, their eyes were filled with mixed emotions. Finally, they held themselves back and did not even mention making him focus on one power. Instead, the principal sent him off.
