I Am Overlord-Chapter 1792: Baili Xiongshi
Xiang Shaoyun and Huang Tian left. The Zombie God and Ming Shi returned at the same time. The two had been evenly matched, with the Zombie God suffering numerous injuries on his body while Ming Shi wasn't any better off.
Xiang Shaoyun did not attack the Zombie God. If not even Ming Shi could thoroughly defeat the Zombie God, it was pointless for him to try. After he went far away from the Wumo Pass, he talked to Huang Tian.
He had countless questions, but Huang Tian appeared confused as well. He did not know what Kong Pingfan's relationship with the person in the coffin was. The two were also confused at the last thing Kong Pingfan said. The world root essence had picked a master? In other words, Ge Yi could absorb it and enter the Reincarnation Realm? That was information that could probably shock the entire dominion.
After all, the two deputy guild masters of the Guardians Guild were incredibly powerful existences. The two wanted to enter the Reincarnation Realm as well. There were also a few old monsters hidden from the world that also wished to one day enter the Reincarnation Realm. That single sentence from Kong Pingfan was enough to ruin all their dreams.
The world root essence was basically the crystallization of the dominion's energy. After absorbing it, Ge Yi would be able to enter the Reincarnation Realm, but it would also greatly weaken the dominion. All living beings in the dominion would be affected, with eventual destruction being a distinct possibility.
"Senior Huang, who is that senior?" asked Xiang Shaoyun, who couldn't contain his curiosity anymore.
"Senior Kong Pingfan, an old God who had been cultivating way before me and your master," said Huang Tian as he started talking about Kong Pingfan.
Kong Pingfan's story was the story of an extremely ordinary man. He did not have any dazzling accomplishments in his entire life, but he would always appear to help every time disaster struck. Very few people in the dominion were even aware of his existence.
Kong Pingfan was already at the Nine Revolutions, a step away from the Reincarnation Realm. It was unknown if the heavens were simply unfair to him or because the world itself restricted his growth. He had been stuck for a very long time. If not for that, the dominion would have long gained another undefeatable Reincarnation Realm expert.
After listening to the story, Xiang Shaoyun appeared shocked. "That Senior Kong is truly powerful. How about the person in the coffin? They seem to know each other?"
"If I'm correct, the person in the coffin is probably his disciple, Baili Xiongshi."
"Baili Xiongshi?" Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed in alarm.
"Why? You know that fellow?" asked Huang Tian.
"I've heard of him, but I don't really know much about him," said Xiang Shaoyun. He then told Huang Tian about Baili Xiongshi's name he saw in the primal chaos world.
"That's right. Baili Xiongshi has an innate Primal Chaos Physique, and he's also Kong Pingfan's sole disciple. However, the two had long become enemies. Like his master, Baili Xiongshi isn't someone who enjoys attention. We all thought that he had left the dominion. I did not expect him to still be in the dominion and to even be on the verge of entering the Reincarnation Realm. I really don't know if this will be a blessing or calamity for humanity," said Huang Tian with a sigh.
Finally, Xiang Shaoyun knew who Baili Xiongshi was. Back when he was in the primal chaos world, he had been very curious about who Baili Xiongshi was. Surprisingly, his curiosity was answered so soon after he returned to the dominion. The arrogance he had developed after entering the Nine Revolutions Realm vanished at the realization that the dominion still had quite a lot of incredible existences.
After a short talk, Xiang Shaoyun and Huang Tian separated. Instead of returning to the Ziling Sect, Xiang Shaoyun went to the Bloodsin City. He wanted to visit his Uncle Tang and Tang Longfei. He wondered how the two were doing. When he arrived, he noticed that the entire city was in chaos.
The city looked incredibly beaten, with a large amount of devilish energy wreaking havoc everywhere. Countless devils were running wild in the city, while countless corpses on the ground were rising as zombies. The entire situation was terrifying and chaotic.
"Did something bad happen to Uncle Tang and Big Brother Tang?" muttered Xiang Shaoyun as he searched the city with his senses.
Soon, he found a familiar aura. When he looked over, he saw Tang Longfei battling a devil like a madman.
"Return my father's life! Return my father!" roared Tang Longfei as he fought on with numerous injuries on his body. Not a single spot on his skin was uninjured. He furiously swung his weapon repeatedly, but he was completely unable to harm his opponent.
Tang Longfei was already an eighth-stage Saint, but his opponent was a Great Devil Saint. He had no advantage over his opponent.
"Pitiful human. Your father is in my stomach. I shall eat you and reunite you with your father," said the man-eating devil.
The man-eating devil made use of his massive body and threw one punch after another, crushing through all of Tang Longfei's attacks. Tang Longfei was sent flying away like a sandbag.
Relying purely on his unyielding willpower, Tang Longfei stood back up. A powerful draconic aura surged from his body as killing intent filled his eyes. He couldn't even stand properly, yet he roared, "I must kill you!"
He mustered all his astral energy into his weapon, forming a massive sword intent that took on the shape of a dragon. His vicious gold energy dazzled his surroundings as he swung his sword. With a rumbling draconic roar, his attack shot toward the man-eating devil.
A sense of fear welled in the man-eating devil's heart when he sensed the slash's might. Without hesitation, he joined his palms together and slammed his fists down at the sword.
His fists were akin to top-tier saint weapons. With one strike, the dragon-shaped sword energy shattered. However, some of the sword energy still managed to overcome his defenses and reach his heart, cutting his heart into mincemeat.
Then, Tang Longfei collapsed weakly onto the ground. He could no longer fight. The devil survived despite his destroyed heart. He walked toward Tang Longfei, one step at a time. His eyes gleamed sinisterly as he ignored the wound on his chest and said coldly, "I'll eat you as payment for what you did to my heart."
He lifted Tang Longfei's body and prepared to throw Tang Longfei into his mouth. Tang Longfei was completely helpless due to his injuries. As his consciousness dimmed, he could vaguely see a familiar figure. A smile—something that had been missing from his face for a long time—appeared as he muttered, "Shaoyun, we'll meet again in my next life."
