I Am Overlord Chapter 1366

Chapter 1366: Powerful Defensive Formation

“The young sect master is a devil? Impossible!”
“The person in the recording is definitely the young sect master. As for the nether yin devils, summoning them is something only legendary top-tier devils can accomplish.”
“Is this a fake recording? The young sect master does not look like a devil at all. In fact, he looks completely normal.”
“Has the young sect master’s body been possessed by a devil? Was that why all that had happened?”
…
Chaos erupted in the Ziling Sect as the people saw the recording. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing, but they also couldn’t deny the proof presented before them.
“Do not listen to the nonsense coming out of their mouths. Activate the formations!” Old Yao’s voice rang out.
After hearing his command, Xiang Keren and Xiang Feidian immediately returned. Next, streams of radiance started swirling around the Ziling Sect, protecting the entire sect. All the formations in the sect had been strengthened by Xiang Shaoyun and were far stronger than before. With Purple Lightning Marquis also further adding to the formations, not even a Great Saint could break through them.
“Are you going to struggle to the death? Looks like you really need to be taught a lesson, or you won’t know the consequences of resisting us,” said Di Batian. A ball of energy formed in his hand, and he tossed the ball down.
Boom!
As a seventh-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator, Di Batian was high-spirited and confident that he could easily destroy these defensive formations. But when his attack struck the defensive barrier, his attack was repelled and sent flying back to him, giving Di Batian and company a great fright. Di Batian hurriedly blasted his own attack away.
“This is quite a decent defensive formation,” said Di Mie.
Those words felt extremely humiliating for Di Batian. As a late-stage Saint, he couldn’t even break a formation. For him, that was the worst kind of insult.
“I refuse to believe a mere formation can stop me,” Di Batian roared and took out a saint sword. The sword lit up with flame and became bright red. With a swing of the sword, a sword ray slashed toward the barrier below.
When the Ziling Sect members saw the incoming sword ray that sliced even space itself apart, their hearts were gripped with fear. If the slash managed to break through the barrier, none of them would survive.
When the sword ray struck the barrier, a series of explosions erupted, torturing the eardrums of many Ziling Sect members. Fortunately, the defensive formation succeeded yet again. The sword ray was repelled and sent flying back to Di Batian. This time, Di Batian and company had no choice but to avoid the attack.
Di Batian was fuming. Previously, he came with a Great Saint to retake the Ziling Sect, but Xiang Shaoyun, wearing the blood-soaked robe, killed that Great Saint and even destroyed his saint soul.
This time, Xiang Shaoyun was already dead, while Di Batian had grown stronger. He had finally returned to make up for his previous humiliation, but he couldn’t even break through a mere defensive formation. He nearly went mad from anger.
“Move aside. This defensive formation is quite a high tier. You won’t be able to break it,” said someone from the Di Clan. He was ranked emperor in the Di Clan and was Di Ganning’s younger brother, Di Ganming. He was also the strongest in Di Batian’s group.
Di Ganming looked down and said, “You people are still stubborn when death is so near. If you’re smart, remove the formation, and you’ll be spared. If I have to break the formation myself, none of you will be spared. You have three breaths of time to consider it.”
His Great Saint aura erupted and pressed down, forming a terrifying storm that created numerous cracks in the air around the sect. When the Ziling Sect members felt how strong Di Ganming was, their expressions turned incomparably solemn and fearful.
“This person is too powerful. Will he really be able to break our formation?”
“So what? The worst that could happen is dying.”
“Over the years, the sect has never been able to stay peaceful for long. After this is over, I’m leaving the sect. I can’t take this anymore.”
“What a coward. So what if you have to die? The sect has sheltered and trained us all these years. Not only have you failed to contribute to the sect, but you’re also even thinking about leaving? Do you want to die?”
“What can we do when the young sect master is a devil? We should just surrender.”
…
With the pressure coming from a Great Saint and the rumor that Xiang Shaoyun was a devil, the Ziling Sect’s morale started to waver. Thankfully, the formations were only controlled by the trusted members in the Ziling Sect. Nobody had abandoned their stations to allow Di Ganming entry into the sect.
“Everyone, do not be afraid. This is a saint-grade formation the young sect master had personally strengthened. It will definitely ensure our safety,” said Old Yao.
As a person of virtue and prestige in the sect, Old Yao managed to placate the crowd with his words.
“Three.
“Two.
“One. Looks like you really don’t treasure your lives. Very well. All of you can die,” said Di Ganming murderously. He immediately threw a powerful fist at the defensive barrier. The fist was terrifyingly powerful. It was as though space itself had collapsed and collided into the barrier, threatening to erase the entirety of the Ziling Sect.
When the Ziling Sect members felt the powerful pressure, many of them collapsed weakly on the ground from pure fear. Only those with firm willpower managed to remain standing. Even so, they were all trembling. If it wasn’t for the formation, none of them would be able to resist the pressure of a Great Saint. They all prayed that the formation would remain standing.
Boom!
Along with a deafening rumble, the Ziling Sect members felt their surroundings shake. It was as though the ground beneath them was tearing apart and the sky above them was falling on them. Everyone exclaimed in fear, thinking that the formation was about to be broken. However, the death they waited for did not arrive. Only then did they realize that the formation had yet to be broken.
“Bastard! I refuse to believe I can’t break a tiny formation like this!” Di Ganming felt humiliated by his failure to break the formation. He started raining punches on the barrier and was willing to stop until the formation was broken.
A series of rumbles rang out, causing all the Ziling Sect members great discomfort from the impact. However, the formation remained sturdy, showing no signs that it was about to be broken.
Right this moment, a certain voice rang out, “Trying to break this formation with only this much strength? What an idiot.”
