The intense battle pushed Xiang Shaoyun's strength to the peak of Great Saint Realm, and the moment his strength was pushed to the peak, he unleashed the Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique's final stance.

Primal chaos lightning bolts filled the entire sky, each bolt as thick as a bucket. The lightning bolts were astonishingly destructive, leaving numerous craters in the ground as it rained down upon the world.

Zi Yao's Lightning Transformation was just as terrifying. He summoned so much lightning that a sea of lightning seemed to have formed above him. The sea threatened to devour the world and left everything in ruins.

Two entirely different lightning powers collided, and the surrounding people fled farther away in panic. The entire region was about to suffer the wrath of a calamity. A world-shaking rumble thundered, and the heaven and earth seemed to change in the wake of the explosion. The impact of the collision could even be felt from far away.

Fortunately, this was the ancient battlefield where terrifying things could happen at any moment. Thus, the participants who had sensed the explosion weren't too bothered by it. 

The primal chaos lightning and the other lightning collided repeatedly, and the maelstrom of energy only settled down after a long while.

Two figures crashed into the ground, and they remained on the ground for a long time. As Zi Yao lay on the ground, not a single uninjured spot could be seen on his body. He had clearly exhausted too much of his strength, as evident from his constant spasming. He had also suffered the backlash from utilizing such a powerful attack, leaving him with zero combat strength.

Xiang Shaoyun wasn't doing any better either. A sword wound could be seen trailing from his shoulder to his stomach. He had almost been slashed into two, and his organs and lightning bone were visible from the deep cut. His wound looked incredibly sinister. The two seemed to have fought to a draw. The one to first stand up would probably be the final victor.

Who would be the one to stand up first? Everyone wondered with solemn expressions.

Zi Xinghe badly wanted to rush over and kill Xiang Shaoyun once and for all. He had a feeling that Xiang Shaoyun would be able to survive this. However, Liu Qingchen was fully locked onto him. If he dared to move, Liu Qingchen would move as well.

"Screw it. Let's work together to kill that fellow," said Zi Xinghe to the people around him.

He couldn't have asked for a better opportunity than this. He would not be able to sleep well if Xiang Shaoyun remained alive.

"Let's go help Young Master Yao first," said a pseudo-God decisively.

The others agreed with him. After all, Zi Yao's status was much higher than Zi Xinghe's.

"Bastards! My boss will be fine!" said Zi Xinghe anxiously.

In truth, he also wished to see Zi Yao dead. If that happened, he would be able to maximize his gains. However, he could only keep that thought to himself. He wouldn't dare to act on that thought.

Yu Caidie, Devil Concubine, and the others hurriedly rushed toward Xiang Shaoyun. They did not wish to see anything happen to him. But before they could reach him, he stood up, supporting himself with his saber stabbed into the ground. At the same time, the profundity of life worked to rapidly heal his injuries.

He had exhausted a lot of his energy, but his recovery speed was beyond what an ordinary person could comprehend. After all, his material star was different from all other stars, and it naturally granted him an edge in terms of energy absorption speed.

"D-don't come over," said Xiang Shaoyun after taking a deep breath.

With every breath he took, the surrounding energy poured through his lungs and into his body, rapidly becoming a part of him. His energy was constantly being replenished, and at the same time, he was also dissolving the saint crystals in his astral cosmos sea. With two energy sources, he was able to recover quickly. At this time, he started walking toward Zi Yao. 

Zi Yao could sense Xiang Shaoyun's approach, but he had exhausted himself too much. Due to the backlash he had suffered, he couldn't even move.

Looks like I've been defeated, after all, thought Zi Yao indignantly.

Zi Xinghe and the others quickly stood before Zi Yao. They were definitely unwilling to see Zi Yao die in Xiang Shaoyun's hands.

"Xiang Shaoyun, you can't blame anyone since you're delivering yourself to us," said Zi Xinghe as he tightened his grip on his weapon, prepared to deal Xiang Shaoyun a fatal blow.

"M-move aside. I concede," said Zi Yao weakly.

"Boss, what are you saying? That was a draw! Like you, he can't fight anymore," said Zi Xinghe.

The others agreed, "That's right. Young Master Yao, you did not lose. It was a draw."

Zi Yao represented the Zi Clan of the Guardians Guild. How could they allow him to concede so easily?

"A defeat is a defeat. There is no need to hide it. If I don't even have the courage to admit my defeat, how can I even think of entering the Rebirth Realm?" said Zi Yao with a bright smile. At that moment, he seemed to have seen a path that could bring him straight into the Rebirth Realm.

Xiang Shaoyun stopped advancing. Since his opponent had conceded, there was no need for him to push on. In any case, he could already sense powerful aliens approaching.

"There really are humans fighting among themselves here. This is great! Everyone, kill them all!" an alien roared from not far away. 

A large number of aliens had appeared. There were over 300 of them, and they had even brought a massive army of skeletons and some remnant souls. And thus, the humans were faced with a large number of enemies. With the numerous unique abilities the aliens had, it wasn't too hard for them to exercise control over the skeletons and the remnant souls.

"These aliens are too strong. We need to retreat," Zi Xinghe exclaimed in alarm.

"We'll avoid them for now. After Young Master Yao recovers, we'll look for them for revenge," said a pseudo-God.

They then hurriedly retreated, not daring to even put up a fight against the aliens.

"We leave as well," Devouring Ghost shouted decisively.

The repeated battles had greatly exhausted their strength. Since they weren't in their peak condition, it would be hard for them to face yet another group of aliens. Xiang Shaoyun wanted to stay and fight, but after a slight hesitation, he allowed Gui Qi to carry him and flee with the others.

"Can you even flee? All of you shall remain!" roared a powerful alien.

The aliens split into two and chased after the two groups, determined to keep all the humans here.

"Leave with the overlord! I'll watch the rear!" decided Devouring Ghost promptly.

"I'll stay with you," said Liu Qingchen unwaveringly.

The two were strong enough to stand on their own, but it would definitely be hard for only the two of them to stop so many aliens.

"Four Night Saints, you stay as well," commanded Xiang Shaoyun.

The Four Night Saints were peak Great Saints. With their help, things would be much better.

After I recover, I must sweep through this place! vowed Xiang Shaoyun inwardly.
