I Am Overlord

Chapter 1428: Devil Subduing Formation\'s Might

Xiang Shaoyun might have created a real star within his body and forged a god body, but he still had his devil pearl. The pearl was the representation of his devil cultivation and also of evil and negative emotions. If he could control it well, everything would be fine. But upon provocation of external power, his devil pearl would also resist. All the negative emotions would be released, causing Xiang Shaoyun to enter a state of rage.

The Devil Subduing Righteous Sutra was a Buddhist sutra used to drive off devilish energy and purify all evil, restoring justice to the world. It was incredibly powerful and could instantly destroy the devil core of a devil and kill the devil upon contact.

Facing the sutra, Xiang Shaoyun felt an aching pain assault his head. His devilish energy was uncontrollably released from the devil pearl. The 36 monks remained expressionless as they continued chanting the sutra, covering the sky with Buddhist symbols and gathering more and more righteous power.

Slowly, Xiang Shaoyun\'s eyes turned scarlet as his devilish energy took the form of a terrifying imperial nether devil. His devil cultivation had been completely unleashed.

"Stop chanting!" he roared.

The monks ignored him and continued chanting, sending more and more Buddhist symbols toward Xiang Shaoyun, activating every single bit of devilish energy in his body.

"I\'ll kill all of you!" Finally, Xiang Shaoyun\'s devilish nature was fully unleashed. After taking out the Celestial Devil Saber, he started swinging it.

Clank!

The saber struck the Buddhist symbols, creating crisp sounds as the symbols were shattered one after another. However, there were too many of them. It wouldn\'t be easy for him to destroy all of them.

Profundity of the devil dao!

In his enraged state, Xiang Shaoyun activated the profundity of the devil dao, fully unleashing his killing intent, evil tendencies, and ruthlessness. The strength of his devilish energy surged while the power behind his Celestial Devil Saber became stronger and stronger. Numerous Buddhist symbols were destroyed and couldn\'t approach him anymore.

Blade wrapped in a thick layer of overbearing devilish energy, each swing of Xiang Shaoyun\'s saber was incredibly powerful. His saber rays cut through the numerous symbols and continued flying toward the monks.

Finding that they couldn\'t suppress Xiang Shaoyun with the sutra alone, one of the monks shouted, "Devil Subduing Stick, eliminate the devil!"

At his command, the 36 monks moved. They brandished their sticks from 36 different positions, sending numerous golden energy sticks radiating a righteous power toward the saber rays. The rays were shattered as the energy sticks continued on toward Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun was someone who had developed his divine dao eyes. Nothing could hide from his eyes. As he swung his Celestial Devil Saber repeatedly, his attacks struck the weak points of the energy sticks and broke them one after another. At the same time, he charged in one direction like a raging dragon, moving at a speed so fast that his figure could hardly be seen.

"Die!" roared Xiang Shaoyun as he swung his saber at one of the monks.

The only thought he had in his mind currently was to kill. Whoever his opponent was, he only needed to kill. The pagoda forest had granted the monk the strength of a peak Saint. Thus, he was able to react rapidly and met Xiang Shaoyun\'s attack with his stick.

Pu!

Even so, the monk was still sent flying away while coughing blood. Clearly, Xiang Shaoyun\'s attack was too strong for that monk to block. Even an actual peak Saint would have a hard time against Xiang Shaoyun, much less someone who had only gained such strength through borrowed power.

However, the Devil Subduing Formation was naturally not something one could defeat so easily. This was a formation that even a Great Saint could be suppressed. Xiang Shaoyun had just sent one of the monks flying away when 35 new attacks shot toward him.

He reacted swiftly and swung his saber again and again, but he failed to block all the attacks. As a result, about seven or eight attacks struck him and almost caused him to lose his footing.

Such a barrage of attacks would have made him sustain some injuries already, but Xiang Shaoyun\'s god body was too tough. Even a Great Saint would have a hard time injuring him, much less these attacks that were only at the level of peak Saints.

In fact, Xiang Shaoyun didn\'t even feel any pain from the attacks. Instead, his killing intent only grew denser as he blasted through a large number of energy sticks before sending three other monks flying away. The other monks remained calm and continued moving about in the formation, creating a massive golden net through their sticks.

Sounds of explosions rumbled on and on in the pagoda forest. The attacks flying everywhere were powerful enough to kill even Great Saints. With only his devil cultivation, Xiang Shaoyun would have no way of stopping all the stick attacks. Numerous attacks struck him with the strength of a peak Saint. At first, he felt no pain. But after being struck again and again, he started to feel some pain.

"All of you, die!" Xiang Shaoyun pushed his strength to his limits and sent numerous saber rays out. The rays carried his boundless killing intent, clearing a path of blood before him, and sent four monks flying.

"Devil Subduing Big Dipper Formation!" shouted one of the monks.

Abruptly, all the monks shone with a brilliant golden radiance as their stick attacks borrowed the power of the formation and transformed into big dipper energy. The big dipper energy further pushed their strength into the level of Great Saints. The numerous energy sticks bombarded Xiang Shaoyun from all directions, each stick moving at an unpredictable trajectory, dealing so much damage that the space within the formation became a vacuum as air itself was reduced into nothingness.

With their current strength, these monks could kill even peak Great Saints. This was why the Devil Subduing Formation was so terrifying. Without such prowess, how could it bear the task of cleansing the world of all evil?

The boundless Buddhist energy and the righteous aura invaded Xiang Shaoyun\'s body relentlessly, trying to forcefully destroy his devil pearl. As a result, Xiang Shaoyun was assaulted with great pain that rendered him incapable of defending himself. More and more stick attacks struck him. Any other person in his situation would have been killed already, even if that person was a Great Saint.

"Since you want to kill me, all of you shall die!" Xiang Shaoyun roared and released his Imperial Nether Domain. The monks were all trapped inside the domain, isolated from the formation. Instantly, their strength dropped, turning into lambs awaiting slaughter. They all turned pale with fright.
