《I Am Overlord》Chapter 893: Sovereign Killing
Advertisement
Situ Yan had a previous generation elder behind her, and she had a high status. Therefore, killing her would lead to terrible consequences.
She cried out again, "Xiang Shaoyun, so long as you release me and submit to me, I guarantee I won't do anything to you anymore. Otherwise, apart from you, everyone in your Overlord Legion will suffer!"
"Is that so? I might as well send you along to the afterlife since keeping you around will only invite trouble," said Xiang Shaoyun indifferently. He sent his chains out and finished her off.
Even in the last moments of her life, Situ Yan still couldn't believe that Xiang Shaoyun actually dared to kill her. She died with great indignation.
"Xiang Shaoyun, you are in big trouble!" the overseer shouted in alarm. He drew his weapon, attempting to kill Xiang Shaoyun.
"Since I've already started killing, I might as well kill all of you," said Xiang Shaoyun with a sinister look in his eyes. He had fully awakened his bloodlust. His jet-black hair whipped about while his scarred face was still covered with blood. He looked like an actual, incredibly dreadful devil.
Endless chains shot out from all directions, attacking the overseers with a might no less than the strength of a fifth-stage Soul Foundation Realm expert.
These Sovereigns were all around the sixth and seventh stages, but they were greatly suppressed in the Nether Soul Domain. They also couldn't use their soul foundations, and they had been weakened by more than 50 percent. Thus, they were forced to continue slogging against the chains without being able to destroy them.
However, their biggest threat was the ghostrunes' soul attacks. Their soul foundations were getting more and more unstable. If this continued, they would lose their soul foundations and their strength would drop even more. At that time, they would definitely end up dead.

"Xiang Shaoyun, you really think you've won? Noble Glazed Flame, burn!" shouted one of the overseers. He no longer held back and unleashed his high-grade flame, aiming to burn the entire Nether Soul Domain into nothingness.
The Noble Glazed Flame was a flame that was much stronger than Yun Flame. It burned with a golden flame that broke one chain after another, making it hard for the chains to get near him.
A different overseer also used an ultimate technique, transforming his black spear into a black storm that swept through the Nether Soul Domain, trying to rip the domain apart. The others also stopped holding back. All of them attacked with their trump cards, and numerous attacks started wreaking havoc in the Nether Soul Domain.
The many chains were destroyed, and they could no longer pose a threat to the Sovereigns. Even the ghostrunes were forced to withdraw. They were, after all, up against Sovereigns, so they were weaker in terms of cultivation level.
Their opponents were incredibly powerful late-stage Sovereigns. Even when suppressed, the Sovereigns were still far stronger than many people. Xiang Shaoyun's Nether Soul Domain started shaking, and they might really break free if this continued.
At this time, Xiang Shaoyun's soul, who had been seated crossed-legged on the soul raising stone, opened his eyes. With a sharp glint in the eyes, he said, "I'll personally kill you all."
The one who had been conversing with the Sovereigns was actually Xiang Shaoyun's body. Now, his soul, who was the true master of this domain, was finally making a move. The soul instantly appeared beside the Noble Glazed Flame user, activated a powerful battle intent, and punched.
Unrivaled Sky Crushing Punch!
This was an imitation of Zhan Wushuang's technique. Although Xiang Shaoyun's version wasn't quite at the level of Zhan Wushuang's, he could unleash at least 70 percent of the original technique's might.

More importantly, Xiang Shaoyun's soul was comparable to a fifth-stage Sovereign. When his soul attacked with his battle intent, the might he amassed was more than enough to punch above his weight.
The overseer had not expected that Xiang Shaoyun had actually formed a solid soul body. Moreover, his combat strength was far beyond the seventh-stage Emperor Realm and was, in fact, at a level that could match them. Fear rose within him, but in his current situation, retreating was not an option. Thus, he mustered all his strength and met Xiang Shaoyun's punch.
Alas, with Xiang Shaoyun's soul at the same level of strength as the Sovereign, he was no longer a match. After all, Xiang Shaoyun was a prodigy. His raging battle intent pushed the might of his punch to the maximum and blasted the Sovereign's palm attack apart. The fist pushed on, and it struck the Sovereign.
Bang!
The Sovereign's body was smashed apart, and he was forced to release his soul foundation once again. He managed to barely stop the rampaging fist.
At the Soul Foundation Realm, even if one's body was destroyed, one could still rebuild one's body with proper materials so long as one's soul foundation survived. The soul foundation was akin to a Sovereign's second life.
Unfortunately for the Sovereign, the moment his soul foundation was out, five ghostrunes started attacking it madly. Gui Qi pounced on the soul foundation and started gnawing on it, pushing the soul foundation to the brink of destruction.
"No! Save me!" the Sovereign cried out in fear.
"You won't survive," declared Xiang Shaoyun coldly. He launched more punches toward the soul foundation.
The soul foundation was incomparably firm since it was forged from numerous rare materials. Even so, it couldn't withstand Xiang Shaoyun's bombardment and was punched apart. The remaining overseers trembled. An overseer who was as strong as them was killed just like that. It felt unreal to them.
As high-level overseers of the academy, they were all strong enough to fight opponents with higher cultivation levels. Even with the Nether Soul Domain suppressing about half of their strength, they could still unleash the strength of fifth-stage Sovereigns. And yet, someone like that was easily finished off by a soul body. It was incredibly shocking.
After the overseer was killed, a golden clump of flame flew out. It headed straight for the Nether Soul Domain's border, trying to escape the space.
"Where do you think you're going? Stay!" Xiang Shaoyun naturally wouldn't allow a high-level flame like this to escape him. It was about time Yun Flame advanced again. He took out the human skin and wrapped it around the Noble Glazed Flame.
The human skin seemed completely immune to flame. It was definitely something left behind by a powerful flame controller for it to possess such an inconceivable power. Unsurprisingly, the moment the Noble Glazed Flame was bundled inside the skin, it calmed and turned obedient, allowing Xiang Shaoyun to pull it into his astral cosmos sea.
Xiang Shaoyun did not dare to devour the Noble Glazed Flame right here as he would most likely suffer from it. He needed to make sufficient preparations before the attempt, and now, he still had to deal with the surviving overseers.
The overseers were using all their strength to attack Xiang Shaoyun's soul. They were aware that this was the quickest way they could save themselves. After all, the destruction of one's soul signified one's death.

Theory of Rifts (LitRPG)
You can join my Discord here. Keynes Kid is gifted with a photographic memory and being several months away from receiving Level 1, and a Talent, he finds himself in the center of attention of people who want to shape his Talent. If they can get him an intelligence related Talent, they will hit a jackpot. The Talent Unlocking ceremony finally comes and Keynes Kid receives… Error… Anomaly (What?) His new talent is… useless. Why then does the World Government want Keynes so badly they will silence anyone who knows about his Talent? At the same time... Somewhere in the Universe, ancient beings stir from their slumber, awoken by the system alert and the wall of glaring red warnings. Their greatest fear just manifested and they are hell-bent on erasing it from existence. -------- It is a slow-development story, so you won't find the MC with super powers at the beginning. -------- It is a coming of age story and focuses on a Talent system (in the beginning) with several additions that bring to the table upgrading of a planet’s tier and such (a bit later). There will be quite an amount of rebuilding society as new, unknown resources enter the economy, and a lot of travelling, delving and naturally, unlocking the secrets of the Universe. As for the setting, the story starts in XXI century, which technology-wise isn't much different from what we have now, but it is enhanced by magic associated with Talents. This allowed the humankind to colonize the solar system, but the technology that allows for interstellar travel doesn't exist (yet). Because it’s my first attempt at LitRPG, please be forgiving but constructive. I hope you will enjoy the story! --- Cover by Daniel Gembus https://www.artstation.com/daniel_gembus instagram.com/danielgembus
