I Am Overlord

Chapter 1052: Massive Battle Begins

A massive battle began, and the sky above the Di Sect was instantly covered by energies of all colors. There was no lack of experts in the Di Sect, and they had a large number of Sovereigns, Emperors, and Kings. With all of them attacking together, they unleashed a might that no ordinary person could withstand.

However, Xiang Shaoyun had also come prepared. He had the turtle, toad, Yao Jiaojiao, Smiling Monk, Heaven Rupturing Foot, Ugly Gambler, and Du Wusheng with him. They were all powerful Soul Foundation Realm experts.

He also had the group of Sovereigns sent by Tang Zhan with him. Thus, the numbers of Sovereigns on his side were actually comparable with the Di Sect\'s side. In fact, in terms of combat prowess, his side had the advantage.

As for the numbers of Emperors and Kings, Xiang Shaoyun\'s side was at a clear disadvantage. But in a battlefield of this scale, Emperors and Kings were nothing but a reserve force, so they might not even get a chance to fight. The true deciding factor of the battle would still be the clash between the Heaven Battling Realm cultivators.

Di De was the first to rush out from the Di Sect\'s side. The Di sect was an important part of his clan\'s plan to leave seclusion. He would not let any mishap happen. When he released his aura, the people around him instantly stopped what they were doing, not daring to act blindly with him around.

"Come. Let the Heaven Battling Realm cultivators fight first. Otherwise, this battle will just drag on and on," said Di De.

"You\'re right. Come and let me snap your head off," said Scarlet Flame Monarch as he stepped out.

"We\'ll have to see if you\'re actually capable of that. Come and accept your death," said Di De before soaring into the sky.

Scarlet Flame Monarch naturally followed him. He would not shrink from a fight, as that would reduce his side\'s morale. For cultivators at their level, they could no longer fight on the ground because their battle would be too destructive. They could very easily harm their own people by accident during an intense fight. Thus, they were only able to fight with all their strength high up in the air.

"Do you have any other Heaven Battling Realm cultivators that can have some fun with me?" a different Heaven Battling Realm cultivator from the Di Sect stepped out and asked.

He looked ordinary, and neither his aura nor presence seemed powerful. But as he took a step forward, his bearing went through a complete change. His figure became towering, his presence so oppressive nobody dared to look straight into his eyes.

"Let me deal with him," said Li Juetian.

Like the two before them, they flew into the sky for their battle. Next, two more Saints stepped out of the Di Sect, greatly astonishing Xiang Shaoyun. Generally, when a tier-7 organization obtained more than two Saints in their ranks, they would be qualified to become a tier-8 organization.

Back then, Xiang Yangzhan and Di Batian were the two Saints of the sect. They also had a third Saint, but the third Saint was a Xiang Yangzhan loyalist whom Di Batian killed during the rebellion. All these Saints were people Di Batian had subsequently recruited.

Xiang Shaoyun had not imagined that Di Batian could actually recruit so many capable experts. One ought to know that each Heaven Battling Realm expert was someone who could rule a large territory so long as they wished. Each of them was incredibly haughty and would not easily submit to anyone.

Xiang Shaoyun found himself having a whole new level of respect for Di Batian for recruiting so many Heaven Battling Realm experts.

He couldn\'t help asking himself doubtfully, "Are these the experts from the Di Clan?"

But in truth, apart from Di De, who was from Di Clan, the other Saints were all recruited by Di Batian.

"Xiang Shaoyun, how are you going to fight against us? Come over here and accept your death," said Di Lang smugly.

At this time, Ye Chaomu said with derision, "Nothing but two useless trash. Grandpa Chen, what about you taking on both of them yourself?"

"No problem," answered Grandpa Chen as he stepped out and locked his aura onto the two opposing Saints.

The aura he released instantly caused the two\'s expressions to change. They did not dare to be careless against him, and they instantly soared into the sky. Grandpa Chen closely followed behind them.

And with that, the Di Sect was out of Heaven Battling Realm Saints.

Of course, Di Lang believed that Xiang Shaoyun was running out of Saints as well, so he provoked again, "Xiang Shaoyun, they will take some time to wrap up their battle. Why don\'t the two of us have a fight in the meantime?"

"Bring it on," said Xiang Shaoyun as he rode out on Little White.

They were already on the verge of fighting, and they had merely been interrupted by the Saints. Now, they could finally fight to their hearts\' content. Xiang Shaoyun still had Saints like Old Urchin, Granny Luo, and the old demon by his side. However, he did not want to send them out immediately. Such a victory would be too easy and senseless.

In any case, those three weren\'t going to make a move easily anyway. They each had someone they were guarding, and that was their true task. Since it had been decided that the leaders would be fighting each other, the others stood aside and acted as spectators.

The Di Sect people were confident in Di Lang\'s victory. After all, everyone could see that he had a higher cultivation level. As for those on Xiang Shaoyun\'s side, they were also confident that Xiang Shaoyun would win. Regardless, it wouldn\'t take long for the battle to show its result.

Di Lang had an imposing battle intent as he charged out on his scarlet jiao with the crimson spear in hand. Xiang Shaoyun, who was seated on Little White, did not shrink as he met Di Lang head on. Some of the Di Sect people recognized Little White, and they were endlessly astonished.

"Xiang Shaoyun can\'t be riding a white tiger, a top-tier demonic beast, right?"

"That seems to be the case. Or perhaps it is merely a tiger with white fur. How can white tigers be found so easily? According to the legends, they have long gone extinct."

"True. It is probably a regular tiger demon with a tiny bit of the white tiger bloodline."

"It doesn\'t matter. The first young master will definitely win. Xiang Shaoyun is too weak and is too intent on courting death."

...

Di Lang was extremely eager to showcase his strength. After charging out, he was the first to attack. A red jiao shot out from his spear and swallowed Xiang Shaoyun in a raging flame. He was a true third-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator, and his strength was not to be underestimated. Those without a similar cultivation level would have a hard time fighting him.

Xiang Shaoyun showed no fear. He could already ignore attacks of this level when he was an Emperor, not to mention he was now a Sovereign.

Xiang Shaoyun charged forth and casually clawed ahead, sending out a fiery claw and tearing the jiao apart. He did it with such ease that it seemed he was tearing a piece of paper.

Before Di Lang could react, Xiang Shaoyun was already before him. Yet another claw shot out toward Di Lang.

An expert from the Di Sect shouted in alarm, "First young master, watch out!"

He charged out in his attempt to help Di Lang, but the turtle stopped him from advancing. "Trying to help him? Not so fast."

The turtle slammed his fist into him, sending the expert flying away with broken arms. With no external help, Di Lang couldn\'t resist Xiang Shaoyun\'s claw. Bloody wounds were left on his face and chest, and he wailed in pain.

"Let me kill the fifth son of Di Batian here," said Xiang Shaoyun with thick killing intent. He reached out and sent a fiery claw toward Di Lang\'s throat, trying to snap Di Lang\'s neck.
