I Am Overlord

Shaoyun was a mere Basic Realm cultivator.
Now that he had reached the Astral Realm, the Astral Energy in his body flowed endlessly out of his natal chart, substantially strengthening his legs.
Like a gale of wind, he dashed to a place no one was blocking.

“Chase after that brat!” Although Mad Lion had been heavily injured in his exchange with the king kong giant ape, he still had numerous people by his side.

All of them rushed straight for Xiang Shaoyun, each of them riding a demonic beast.
Thankfully for Xiang Shaoyun, he had already opened up a considerable distance between himself and his pursuers.
Otherwise, they would’ve captured him long ago.

Seeing Xiang Shaoyun get faster the more they chased him, one of the men could not help but leap off his mount and rush towards Xiang Shaoyun.
This was a late Astral Realm expert; hence, chasing him by foot was actually faster than riding a mount.

“It’s the brat that killed Li Hui! Looks like I’ll have the chance to avenge him!” the late Astral Realm expert muttered to himself, a savage glint in his eye.

“Brat, you can’t escape!” This particular pursuer was indeed quick.
After he yelled at Xiang Shaoyun, he drew a long spear and flung it straight at him.

Seeing all that was happening, Little White frantically yelped as he tried to warn Xiang Shaoyun.
Xiang Shaoyun understood what Little White was trying to tell him and leaped to the right, dangerously avoiding the oncoming spear.

However, the dodge forced Xiang Shaoyun to tumble in an awkward direction, significantly affecting his speed.
The Astral Realm expert behind him was now merely 50 meters from him!

“Dammit! I need more power! I’m still not strong enough!” Xiang Shaoyun bitterly smiled to himself.

Simultaneously, he began expending all the energy he possibly could, revolving the Heaven Conquering Overlord Manual to its very limit.
His nine stars began to glow as his speed increased once again.
The moment his pursuer thought he had caught the brat, he found that Xiang Shaoyun’s speed had increased yet again!

This brat really is strange! He is only a first-stage Astral Realm cultivator, but his speed is comparable to that of a third-stage or even a fourth-stage cultivator! the Astral Realm expert pondered to himself.

The Astral Realm expert had to give it his all in chasing Xiang Shaoyun.
After running a while further, however, Xiang Shaoyun found that he had nowhere else to run.
To be more precise, he had come to a cliff’s edge.

“Oh no! I’ve actually run into a dead end!” Xiang Shaoyun was on the verge of despair.
Looking downwards, he estimated that it would be a fall at least a hundred meters high.
Even a peak Astral Realm expert would find it hard to survive if they fell from that height!

“Hahaha! Brat! Keep running won’t you? You’re a slippery one, but I’ve caught you in the end!” The Astral Realm expert sneered at Xiang Shaoyun and slowly drew closer to him.

“I’ll go where I want to go! You think I’m scared of you?” After Xiang Shaoyun stared daggers at the late-phase Astral Realm expert, he dove off the cliff without a second thought.

“Bastard!” the late-phase Astral Realm expert cursed, his eyes wide open in astonishment.
Intending to grab Xiang Shaoyun, he rushed forward but found he was slightly too late to catch him.

Looking down from the cliff, the late-phase Astral Realm expert could still see Xiang Shaoyun’s falling figure.

Falling from this height, this brat is a goner, no doubt about it.
But the captain said the brat might have some spirit medicine on him…looks like I’ll have to find his dead body and retrieve it. After pondering to himself, the late-phase Astral Realm expert returned to gather reinforcements before heading to the base of the cliff.

Unbeknownst to him, however, Xiang Shaoyun was actually still alive.
At the bottom of the sheer fall was a lake naturally formed from the outflowing of the waterfall.
Before leaping down the cliff, Xiang Shaoyun had used his outstanding eyesight to ascertain that there was a lake below before daring to jump.
Otherwise, he would have just delivered himself to hell’s gates.
Although this was the case, the moment he slammed into the surface of the water, his body felt like it was ready to split apart.
