I Am Overlord

Chapter 1791: Unequaled Expert

Who was Huang Tian?

He was a Five Revolutions guardian god, someone as strong as a Seven or even Eight Revolutions expert. Someone like him had actually been sent flying by a rebounding force. One could only imagine how powerful that force was. Huang Tian stabilized himself high in the sky. A solemn look covered his face as he asked, "Are you a human or a zombie?"

Huang Tian had sensed a terrifying level of life force in the ancient coffin. He couldn't confirm if the individual in the coffin was a living being or a zombie.

Xiang Shaoyun was curious as well, but he had a vague guess as to what the truth was.

"Leave. I will make things easier for now. They will stop the expansion. If you return to disturb me, I won't mind turning all of you into my zombies," replied the voice.

Huang Tian frowned indecisively. He was clear that even with him and Xiang Shaoyun, they might not be able to do anything to that dreadful existence. But this existence would remain a threat to the dominion if they let it be.

Xiang Shaoyun released his soul clone and said, "You're absorbing the dominion's world root essence. No wonder the barrier separating the dominion and the Devil Domain was broken. You must be the culprit!"

Huang Tian was so alarmed he trembled. The world root essence was the basis of a planet's existence. The moment it was fully absorbed, the dominion would turn into a lifeless planet. All living beings on it would be destroyed.

"Looks like you are privy to some information, kid. I can't afford to spare you," said the terrifying being in the coffin. A dreadful power bubbled out and surrounded both Xiang Shaoyun and Huang Tian. A unique pocket space formed around them, isolating them from the world. At the same time, a powerful force crashed toward the two of them.

The seal around them was incredibly powerful. Xiang Shaoyun immediately tried summoning Ming Shi, but he was still too late. As for He Ma and Mao Jiuming, both were stuck outside the pocket space.

The domineering power in the pocket space transformed into numerous zombies that madly attacked its two prisoners. Both Xiang Shaoyun's main body and soul clone erupted with formidable strength. Wielding the Divine Yin Yang Sword and Primal Inception Saber, he attacked again and again, destroying one zombie after another.

Unfortunately, the zombies were too powerful. After several collisions, both Xiang Shaoyun's main body and clone were struck, causing them to cough blood. Even Huang Tian did not seem to have enough strength as he was also beaten to the point of coughing blood.

"I only wanted to break through in peace, but you just have to come and disturb me. In that case, you might as well stay here forever," said the voice from the coffin indifferently.

Immediately after, primal chaos energy rushed out of the coffin and replaced the energy zombies. The overbearingly destructive power split into two entirely different powers, wrapping around Xiang Shaoyun and Huang Tian.

Xiang Shaoyun could sense that the dao of destruction contained in the primal chaos energy around him was at an extremely high level, comparable to what the divine primal chaos lotus had unleashed back at the primal chaos world. In terms of pure strength, this individual was even stronger than the divine primal chaos lotus. Xiang Shaoyun released his Primal Inception Wall and barely protected himself from the attack. As for Huang Tian, his defenses collapsed layer by layer.

"Damn it! Why did we end up provoking something so terrifying?" cursed Xiang Shaoyun.

He had thought that at the Nine Revolutions Realm, even if he couldn't defeat everyone in existence, he should at least be fearless against any opponent. But this fellow in the coffin hadn't even left the coffin yet was already capable of suppressing him and Huang Tian. If this continued, both of them would die.

Huang Tian's condition worsened as time passed. His body started falling apart, his struggles futile. Xiang Shaoyun wanted to open the Nether Yin Gate, but he couldn't. He felt as though the world around him had been completely sealed. Not even a single connection with the outside existed. As the two sank into despair, a desiccated palm poked in from the outside world, tearing the pocket space apart.

A tiny old man was revealed. "Baili, time for you to stop."

The tiny old man would look like an inconspicuous old man wherever he went, but he was actually an expert capable of rending the terrifying seal. It was obvious he was a super expert. When Huang Tian saw the old man, he exclaimed in joy, "Senior Kong, you're finally here!"

Kong Pingfan, a very ordinary name that also meant ordinary…but the owner of this name was anything but ordinary. This old man who had lived for countless years had most likely earned his fame even before Venerable Yuan Shi. He was also the dominion's first guardian god. Unfortunately, he was eventually outshone by Venerable Yuan Shi. Since then, he seemed to have vanished from the world.

Huang Tian had seen this old man fight a time or two during the previous calamity. He had a deep impression of this old man. This old man was most definitely the person closest to the Reincarnation Realm in the dominion.

"Old fart! You're trying to stop me as well?" an unhappy voice came from the coffin.

"If I can really stop you, I would have done so long ago. Yes, you are somewhat related to the current chaos in the dominion, but the dominion still needs someone to carry its banner. It has been so many years, but you're still stuck at that step. Just give up already. It's pointless," said Kong Pingfan.

While talking, he didn't stand idle. He transmitted Xiang Shaoyun and Huang Tian to outside of the sealed area. Only then did Xiang Shaoyun realize that this tiny old man had reached an unimaginable level in cultivation. Perhaps not even his master would be his match.

"Let's go. This no longer has anything to do with us," said Huang Tian, somewhat discouraged.

Over the years, he had been cultivating hard. However, growth was slow. It seemed almost impossible to catch up to that legendary individual.

"I am the one to carry the banner. Isn't that why you helped me grow for so many years? So long as I can absorb all the world root essence, I will be able to enter the Reincarnation Realm. At that time, not even the aliens will be my match," said the person in the coffin furiously.

"It's pointless. The world root essence has long gained sentience. It had already picked a master. That person had merely refused to absorb the essence and enter the Reincarnation Realm. Otherwise, you wouldn't even have the chance to attempt what you're attempting now," said Kong Pingfan.

"Who is that person?" asked the voice in the coffin.

"Yuan Shi's disciple, Ge Yi," said Kong Pingfan indifferently.

"I refuse to believe that! I refuse! I was once outclassed by Venerable Yuan Shi. I refuse to lose to his disciple as well!" roared the voice indignantly.
