In his shock, Xiang Shaoyun looked in a certain direction. There, a life form he had not seen before had appeared. Rather than a true appearance, that being was merely a projection. The being had a fiendish-looking head, a body covered in spikes. His hands were similar to human hands, but his legs were similar to elephant legs. 

Sharp spikes ran along his sturdy body, and a long tail hung behind him. His skin was completely black while a baleful aura surrounded his body, proving that he had extraordinary combat strength. This was a life form that had never been seen in the dominion. Evidently, this was an alien race from the outside domain.

"What are you?" asked Xiang Shaoyun with a frown.

"Lowly worm, you deserve death for not knowing the great greenspike race," said the alien being, his triangular eyes flickering with a sinister light.

"Greenspike race? Never heard of it," said Xiang Shaoyun as he shook his head.

"That doesn't matter. I will be able to leave after killing you," said the alien before charging toward Xiang Shaoyun.

The alien seemed to possess an odd ability. He moved like a specter, instantly arriving before Xiang Shaoyun. He grabbed for Xiang Shaoyun's neck and grasped it before Xiang Shaoyun could react.

The alien also simultaneously spat out a clump of green smoke toward Xiang Shaoyun, covering his face with highly toxic smoke. Immediately, Xiang Shaoyun's face swelled as the poison invaded the space within his head.

"Die, lowly worm!" said the alien being as he attempted to snap Xiang Shaoyun's neck apart so that he could drink Xiang Shaoyun's blood.

"Scram!" Just because Xiang Shaoyun had been momentarily careless, it didn't mean that he would be completely helpless. With a roar, his entire body lit up in flames.

He was releasing Yun Flame, a flame powerful enough to harm even Gods. Instantly, the alien being was forced to retreat. With the flame energy, Xiang Shaoyun expelled the poison from his head. At the same time, he increased the intensity of the flame around him and charged at his opponent.

"What an annoying flame! You think this will be enough for you to escape death?" said the alien being as his tail stabbed toward Xiang Shaoyun like a poisonous needle.

The alien being was a peak Saint Realm expert, but his combat strength was comparable to a fifth-stage pseudo-God. Moreover, he was extremely fast, able to move at a speed few could match. Even Xiang Shaoyun's flame energy needed some time to expel all the poison. 

One could only imagine how powerful the green poison was. As the alien being charged Xiang Shaoyun again, Xiang Shaoyun used his divine dao eyes to see through the incoming attack, only to barely avoid it.

"Is this really an alien being from the outside domain? What terrifying poison and offensive capabilities," exclaimed Xiang Shaoyun in shock.

When the alien missed, his triangular eyes flickered, and he split into seven clones that attacked Xiang Shaoyun madly from seven different directions. Xiang Shaoyun had thought that the clones were illusions, but when he activated his divine dao eyes, he could see seven true bodies attacking him at the same time. Xiang Shaoyun could only set up his defenses against the attacks.

The alien being's attacks were incredibly powerful, comparable with even the likes of Nangong Ao, one of the 10 geniuses Xiang Shaoyun had met at the Darkdevil Sect. The attacks forced Xiang Shaoyun to retreat repeatedly. It wasn't that he was completely helpless but that he had to first focus on expelling the green poison still in his body. He was also trying to see just how terrifying the alien being could be.

The alien being's attacks were extremely tricky to deal with. The scariest part about the greenspike race was their poison and speed. Their offensive strength was decent but not too prominent when compared to their poison and speed. 

Meanwhile, the massive crow's eyes were still shut. It seemed to be ignoring the ongoing battle.

"Lowly worm, you're surprisingly resilient. I refuse to believe I can't kill you," said the alien being as he became impatient. With a roar, more strength erupted from his body, and his spikes grew even longer. He then tackled Xiang Shaoyun, determined to leave countless holes in Xiang Shaoyun's body.

By this point, Xiang Shaoyun had successfully expelled all the poison from his body. His aura changed as he brandished both his arms. The powers of life and death started circulating around him as he sent palm after palm toward the alien being.

Xiang Shaoyun had silently endured so much beating only because the ravine had suppressed 50 percent of his strength. Otherwise, the alien being would have already died.

Finally, he utilized the Tai Chi Yin Yang Palm to unleash a barrage of attacks at the alien being's vitals. As the powers of life and death circled Xiang Shaoyun, his astral cosmos sea pumped out a massive amount of energy. Eventually, even the ravine's suppression was removed from him, allowing him to utilize his full strength to defeat the alien being.

"Impossible! How can a weakling like you defeat my clone? I can't accept this!" roared the alien being as he slowly dispersed before Xiang Shaoyun's eyes.

Before Xiang Shaoyun could even heave a breath in relief, two figures appeared before him. The two were two different alien beings, a blackstripe bug and a silvercrown. The blackstripe bug had the face of a human and the body of a scorpion, making for an odd combination. Its entire body was shrouded in dark energy. Its front pincers looked tough enough to contend against god-grade weapons.

The silvercrown had a square head that only had a pair of eyes and a mouth. It had no nose or ears. Bright silver whiskers, around which indescribable power gathered, grew atop its head. 

The blackstripe bug and the silvercrown were similar in strength to the previous greenspike. Neither had reached the God Realm, and both were similarly clones.

"So long as we can kill this kid, we'll be able to leave. Kill him!" roared the blackstripe bug as it charged toward Xiang Shaoyun with its pincers raised high.

At the same time, the silvercrown's whiskers extended and shot toward Xiang Shaoyun. These alien beings were extremely strong. Although they were only Great Saints, their attacks were comparable with the attacks of pseudo-Gods.

A regular human Great Saint would probably be completely helpless against them. Fortunately, Xiang Shaoyun was no regular human. He was a king among Saints. 

Xiang Shaoyun defeated the two alien beings without much effort.

Finally, the crow opened its eyes and said, "Killer of aliens, you may enter the grave and receive the inheritance."
