Chapter 774: Sovereign Killing

Chapter 774: Sovereign Killing

Sima Tian and Zhang Baolu had been bandit leaders for many years. After years of plundering, the Desert Shadow Wolves finally grew into its current size.

The Overlord Legion was a faction of geniuses from the Dragon Phoenix Academy. Even if the Dragon Phoenix Academy was not taken into consideration, just the organizations these disciples came from were terrifying enough.

However, Sima Tian and the bandits did not seem to care. The only thing they wanted was to rob everything in the disciples' storage rings and take over the newly discovered spirit crystal vein.

They had the desert as their natural protection and could hide anytime and anywhere. Outside organizations would have a hard time even replaceing them. Sima Tian charged forward and released his presence as a Sovereign, hoping to shock all the disciples.

The disciples immediately felt an immense pressure, their movements turning sluggish. That was the suppression of a second-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator, not a brand new Soul Foundation Realm cultivator. Emperors were nothing before him.

Even with the extraordinary willpower these disciples possessed, they still felt somewhat fearful facing this opponent.

Zhuge Zhantian forced himself to remain calm and shouted, "Presence Formation!"

At his command, half the disciples moved together and unleashed their respective presences, creating a massive presence of Emperors that forcefully resisted Sima Tian's pressure.

"Pointed Thorn Formation!" Zhuge Zhantian gave another command.

The disciples attacked with no hesitation, sending a massive barrage of attacks toward Sima Tian and the bandits. The disciples did not have the numeric superiority, as the bandits were probably twice their size.

However, only about one-third of the bandits had reached the Emperor Realm or higher. As for the rest, they were Kings and were comparatively less threatening. The biggest threats were Sima Tian and Zhang Baolu.

As for Tao Zhiyu, he wouldn't be a cause of worry since even now, Ouyang Chuanqi was suppressing him greatly. It was only a matter of time before Ouyang Chuanqi killed him. Unfortunately, just as Ouyang Chuanqi was about to deal Tao Zhiyu the finishing blow, Sima Tian attacked. It was a good thing Ouyang Chuanqi was able to react promptly, or his brain would have been blown out.

"You're the only decent disciple that came this time? If so, all of you can die now!" said Sima Tian coldly.

"Speak after you actually kill me," said Ouyang Chuanqi, his battle intent surging.

He started sweeping his fiery spear at Sima Tian repeatedly. His attacks were fierce and overbearing, his combat prowess reaching the level of a second-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator.

He had also comprehended the profundity of flame. With the high-tier flame he possessed, he released flame attacks capable of burning the sky and evaporating the sea. Even Sima Tian had a solemn expression, forced to take this Dragon Phoenix Academy disciple seriously. As for Tao Zhiyu, after being saved from his crisis, he unleashed his fury on the other disciples.

"I'll kill all of you!" Tao Zhiyu roared and used all his strength to deal with the Overlord Legion members. His attacks were incredibly violent, but the disciples managed to stop him by working together.

"Damn it! I refuse to believe I can't destroy your formation!" Tao Zhiyu was infuriated and attacked with full power yet again.

Both his palms shone brightly as he sent two palm attacks out that crushed forth like two mountains. Just as the attacks were about to land, a figure appeared.

"I am your opponent," said the newcomer. He was none other than Xiang Shaoyun. He used the Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist powered by the nine-colored fog, trying to block Tao Zhiyu's palm attacks head on.

Rumble! Rumble!

Their attacks collided, and even the sky shook from the impact. Once again, Xiang Shaoyun was sent flying. However, he did not spit blood this time. He had successfully blocked the attack.

Tao Zhiyu was mad with rage when he saw that even a third-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator had managed to block his fully powered attack.

"Good one, kid. Let's see how many of my attacks you can stop," said Tao Zhiyu as he attacked again.

But this time, Xiang Shaoyun did not bother meeting him head on. Rather, he used the Nether Soul Domain and attempted to trap Tao Zhiyu with it.

With how intense the battle was, Xiang Shaoyun had to get rid of this Sovereign as quickly as possible so he could start helping the others. If the Sovereigns were allowed to rampage among the disciples, they would suffer disastrous losses.

The Nether Soul Domain's appearance greatly shocked Tao Zhiyu. He could sense himself falling into an independent space, and his combat prowess rapidly dropped.

"What is going on?" Tao Zhiyu was confused. And before he could think of anything, numerous chains shot out toward him.

"Paltry tricks!" he snorted coldly as he chopped at the chains with his palms.

He had assumed that the chains wouldn't be difficult to deal with, but when he actually faced them, he found that he had greatly underestimated them. The chains were comparable to the attacks of a third-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator. As a first-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator, he was incapable of stopping them.

Finally, Tao Zhiyu started panicking. He quickly released his soul foundation, sending a mighty soul power out as he attempted to destroy the Nether Soul Domain. In truth, the soul foundation was a powerful battle stage formed of a cultivator's cultivation level and soul power, one that could greatly increase one's strength.

By releasing his soul foundation, Tao Zhiyu was releasing his full power. Xiang Shaoyun did not dare to underestimate this move. He sent out over 100 chains to surround Tao Zhiyu like a spiderweb.

Even after using all his strength, Tao Zhiyu still found himself suppressed. Since Xiang Shaoyun's Nether Soul Domain had reached the level of a third-stage soul foundation, no matter how Tao Zhiyu struggled, he couldn't escape.

The chains completely enveloped Tao Zhiyu, making it hard for him to even budge. Never in his dreams had Tao Zhiyu imagined that he would suffer defeat under the hands of a third-stage Dragon Ascension Realm kid.

He struggled as best he could, but he still couldn't escape. Perhaps his only chance was to explode his own soul foundation. But doing so would mean a drop in his cultivation level, sending him back to the Emperor Realm, or even the King Realm. He was unwilling to do that.

While he hesitated, Xiang Shaoyun took the chance to tighten the chains around him and crushed him to death. With Tao Zhiyu's head in hand, Xiang Shaoyun removed the Nether Soul Domain and roared, "The bandit Sovereign has been killed! Everyone, work harder and slaughter them all!"

His voice spread far and wide as he crushed the head in his hand.
