I Am Overlord-Chapter 1811: Overwhelming Changes

After a hundred years in seclusion, the Ziling Sect had changed massively. They occupied nearly the entirety of the Buried Monarch Mountain Range. However, they did not have much conflict with the demonic beasts residing there. After Xiang Shaoyun went deep into the territory of the burial canines to have a talk with them, the sect and the local demonic beasts were able to stay out of each other's way and coexist in peace.

A total of 108 formations of varying sizes had been laid around the sect by Xiang Shaoyun. The formations constantly improved the Nine Star Pagodas, gathering a terrifying amount of astral energy in the sect.

Additionally, he also injected a large amount of primal inception energy into the nine pagodas, nourishing the land and the God Realm energy in the pagodas. As a result, the sect disciples had been able to grow rapidly.

In truth, just because the Ziling Sect had stayed in seclusion, that did not mean that their disciples had remained in the sect all the time. They would often leave through the teleportation formations to explore or train.

During the past hundred years, Xiang Shaoyun had spent the first fifty years consolidating his strength, creating a new saber technique, and nurturing one talented cultivator after another. During the latter fifty years, he had cultivated by himself in seclusion, growing as quickly as he could to prepare for the challenges ahead.

At present, the Ziling Sect's super experts consisted of people like Wu Xie, Ming Shi, He Ma, Mao Jiuming, Tan Xinji, Uncle Yuan, Nangong Shangbing, Gui Qi, Money, Yu Caidie, Devil Concubine, Ye Chaomu, Purple Lightning Marquis, Huang Baiwu, Song Tiandao, the celestial darkdevil tree, and Lang Ya.

As for those in ninth-stage God Realm, they were Xiang Yangzhan, Scarlet Flame Monarch, Devouring Ghost, Green Ghost, Tuoba Taishan, Tuoba Lingtian, Xia Liuhui, Liang Zhuangmin, Lu Xiaoqing, Dong Ziwan, Li Juetian, and Guo Po.

Apart from these top experts, the sect also had five thousand Gods and twenty thousand Saints. It was unbelievable that so many powerful experts would actually belong to a single organization. Of course, no other organization would be able to replicate this feat since none of them could alter the passage of time in their astral cosmos sea.

If Xiang Shaoyun had allowed everyone in the sect to enter his astral cosmos sea, they would probably have even more super experts. As for the cultivators who were all at the Saint Realm and above, their character had been tested before Xiang Shaoyun proceeded to help them with their cultivation. Otherwise, if his ability to alter the passage of time was leaked, even those supreme experts would find themselves jealous of him.

During the past hundred years, Xiang Shaoyun himself had also grown rapidly. Although he had not grown as fast as those who had obtained some inheritances, he was still advancing at a speed not just anyone could compare with. After all, not all physiques could compare with the strongest physique.

Over the years, Xiang Shaoyun had not stayed in the sect all the time. He had also roamed the boundless universe and absorbed all the energy he encountered, such as berserk energy, spatial energy, and even the energy of black holes. Everything was devoured, allowing him to grow to a terrifying level.

During that period of time, he had also created many powerful techniques. All those techniques utilized the terrifying energies he had absorbed while roaming the universe. No ordinary person would be able to resist these energies.

With Xiang Shaoyun's current strength, he was very near the level of an undefeatable expert. He had enough confidence to lead his forces on a path of conquest across the world.

He had called Little White and Little Azure back to his side to fulfill a dream he had never been able to achieve. He wanted to conquer all organizations in the dominion—become the dominion's master. He also wanted to subdue the many races and return peace to the dominion.

Prior to this, his goal was to become the young guild master. Alas, no matter how good he performed and how much strength he showed, many were still unwilling to let him have that seat. Since that was the case, he might as well crush all opposition with force. He would smash through all lies and injustices, rising into an existence comparable to the likes of Venerable Yuan Shi and Dao Monarch.

Xiang Shaoyun had a clear idea of the current situation of the world. In fact, he had picked the most suitable time to end their seclusion. Only when humanity as a whole was on the brink of destruction would they hope for a savior to appear.

Regardless of whether he wanted to face the Guardians Guild or the Anti-Human Army, it would be a task much more difficult than fully conquering the Western Desert. That was what he believed.

After all, the zombies had yet to expand across the Western Desert. Despite that, they still had a terrifying expert hiding in their midst. That guardian god wouldn't have personally made a move otherwise.

After linking up with Little White and Little Azure, the strength of the forces under Xiang Shaoyun's control had reached a terrifying level. He decided to first deal with a smaller organization.

The small organization he picked was the alliance of the non-human races. The alliance comprised of the dwarves, shadowrunes, spirit ears, beastmen, and some other races. All in all, tens of races had come together to form that alliance.

With the world in chaos, nobody would be able to remain a bystander, including these non-human races. Both the humans and the aliens had tried roping them in, but they had insisted on remaining neutral. They did not really care who would end up as the dominion's final hegemon. They only wanted some place where they could live.

Xiang Shaoyun naturally had a different idea. With so many races allying together, they made for quite a capable fighting force. If he could subdue all of them, they could be quite helpful to him.

With Little White and Little Azure's armies in tow, Xiang Shaoyun headed toward the non-human territory. The non-human races were occupying a decently sized area in the Central Region. Their territory comprised of two provinces, and they had named their territory the Twin Non-Human Provinces.

Xiang Shaoyun was joined by Purple Lightning Marquis, Scarlet Flame Monarch, Devouring Ghost, and Green Ghost. Apart from Purple Lightning Marquis, the rest were peak Gods. Unfortunately, they had not been able to enter the Nine Revolutions Realm. That was mostly due to their potential. They might even be stuck at this level forever. The only way for that to change was for Xiang Shaoyun to enter the Reincarnation Realm and give them a hand in their advancement.

The group was able to travel rapidly, moving as fast as someone using a teleportation formation. Before long, they reached the Twin Non-Human Provinces. The moment Xiang Shaoyun arrived, he released his powerful aura, allowing his aura to linger above the territory. All the experts of the non-humans were able to sense him.

Shortly after, three non-human experts flew up. One was a dwarf, one was a shadowrune, and one was a spirit ear. All of them were at Three Revolutions or above. The strongest among them was the spirit ear race's ancestor, a Six Revolutions expert. He was probably the reason why the non-humans had been able to preserve themselves during these chaotic times.

"You're Xiang Shaoyun, the overlord?" asked the three non-humans.

Xiang Shaoyun's name had long spread throughout the dominion. Even those old monsters who had remained in seclusion knew of this powerful infamous devil spawn.
