I Am Overlord

d his stomach, Xiang Shaoyun’s natal chart began to resplendently glow, directly absorbing the water from the Earth Star Spring.
His natal chart then began emitting strands of pure energy, which coursed through the meridians within his body.
His 365 acupoints lit up, similarly absorbing this wondrous energy.

Adopting a cross-legged sitting position, Xiang Shaoyun began to madly revolve the Heaven Conquering Overlord Manual, his strength rapidly climbing like a firework.
Peak of eighth-stage Basic Realm, early ninth-stage Basic Realm, mid ninth-stage Basic Realm, late ninth-stage Basic Realm.
The surge of energy was even enough for him to directly break through into the first stage of the Astral Realm!

Only after reaching the middle phase of first-stage Astral Realm did Xiang Shaoyun manage to forcefully suppress it.
Otherwise, the surge would have carried him all the way to peak first-stage Astral Realm.
Even reaching the second stage would not have been a problem!

Earth Star Spring! This was indeed a spiritual spring that allowed one to awaken their natal charts! Even if an Astral Realm cultivator swallowed some of it, they would easily be able to climb two or three stages.

However, Xiang Shaoyun had long awoken his nine stars.
Furthermore, the amount of energy he needed to absorb was several times that of a regular cultivator, up to 10 times! Even after drinking so much of the Earth Star Spring’s water, he had only reached the first stage of the Astral Realm.

Most importantly, Xiang Shaoyun had used the remaining energy to strengthen his foundations, not wasting a single drop of energy.
Furthermore, all of his inner injuries had been thoroughly healed, not leaving a single old wound.
The Earth Star Spring had also purified his meridians and acupoints, greatly increasing his already outstanding cultivation ability.

This was the miraculous aspect of the Earth Star Spring; it wasn’t something a regular spring could compare to.
After having undergone the transformation from the Earth Star Spring, Xiang Shaoyun opened his eyes.
The moment he lifted his eyelids, two rays of light as sharp as blades shot out from his eyes.
If anybody was there to witness this, they would find it hard to stare straight into his eyes.

For a while, Xiang Shaoyun found that his sight had become incomparably clear.
He was able to see clearly even in pitch-black areas.

“Could I have formed my Heavenly Eyes just like that?” Xiang Shaoyun asked himself, excited beyond belief.
He examined things with his eyes, finding that nothing could escape his sight.
He could even see a tiny ant from afar.

“I hear that the Heavenly Eyes can see through all.
Let’s see if I can see through that rock!” Xiang Shaoyun’s eyes then fell on a piece of rock.
However, he found that he could not see inside it.
He was then assured that it was only his eyesight that had changed.
Wanting to develop Heavenly Eyes was still a ways off for him.

Xiang Shaoyun was not too depressed about this matter.
Generally, Heavenly Eyes were formed since birth.
Those without innate Heavenly Eyes would find it extremely difficult to cultivate.
Furthermore, he had never specifically trained his eyes before.
Wishing for his eyes to become Heavenly Eyes all of a sudden was extreme, even for him.
However, his eyes becoming as powerful as they were now certainly had something to do with his physique.

All of a sudden, Xiang Shaoyun felt the ground tremble as something drew closer to him.

Stomp Stomp!

A demonic beast seemed to be coming from ahead of where he was.
It was so massive that the cave itself seemed to be shaking!

“Roar!”

An ear-splitting roar sounded through the cave, giving Xiang Shaoyun a massive headache.

“Shit! The area in front of this place should be the king kong giant ape’s territory! It must’ve been guarding the water from the Earth Star Spring!” Xiang Shaoyun came to a sudden realization, his expression turning grave.

Quickly, Xiang Shaoyun retrieved a few empty gourds and proceeded to store as much of the spring water as he could.
He had prepared these empty gourds to store the water from the Earth Star Spring anyway.
Now was the time to use them.

As Xiang Shaoyun felt the king kong giant ape draw closer and closer, he quickly stowed the filled gourds as he ran for his life back the way he had come.
The way he had come from was extremely narrow.
There was no way for a king kong giant ape to pursue him through there.
As such, he managed to successfully pass this round of danger.
