I Am Overlord Chapter 1543: Righteous Gold Leaf

Chapter 1543: Righteous Gold Leaf

"This is bad! They're heading toward our place!" Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed in shock as he hurried back to the encampment.
He moved so fast even Gods could not compare with his speed. However, Xiang Yangzhan was even faster than him. Xiang Yangzhan was akin to a purple javelin, piercing through the air as he instantly arrived before the devils headed toward the Ziling Sect's encampment.
"Devils, you must be courting death for even thinking of touching my people," roared Xiang Yangzhan as lightning energy erupted from his body and formed countless lightning spears. The spears shot toward the devils and instantly reduced many devils to mincemeat. Even the Devil God was wailing in pain from the attack.
With Xiang Yangzhan's strength, only Devil Gods with cultivation levels higher than him could pose a threat to him. One ought to know that Xiang Yangzhan was someone who once participated in a Bloodsin City's campaign against the devils. His strength was not to be underestimated. After obtaining an alien's inheritance, he had grown even stronger.
As for Xiang Shaoyun, he entered the encampment, gathered his people, and prepared to withdraw farther away from the Devil Domain's entrance. The devils were definitely going to launch a large-scale invasion. If no other human experts were to arrive, things would likely turn very bad for the Dusk Dynasty.
No ordinary person could survive the effects of battles between Gods. Generally, most Gods wouldn't actually fight on the ground, as they would only cause massive damage to the dominion.
The Dusk Dynasty's strongest imperial uncle was personally facing the diabolic dragon devil but was suppressed by the dragon's innate abilities. If a God from the Guardians Guild hadn't been backing him up, he would have already been defeated.
Meanwhile, countless devils were charging out of the entrance. They had never invaded this entrance in such numbers before. If this continued, there wouldn't be enough humans around to stop their invasion.
The battle grew more and more intense, forcing the Guardians Guild to publicly call for help.
After all, what Xiang Shaoyun told them was too shocking. If the devils were to give up on all other Bloodsin Cities and focus all their war efforts on this one entrance, they would have no way of holding the devils back with their current numbers.
"Today is the day the Diabolic Dragon Clan enters the dominion!" Yet another terrifying expert from the Diabolic Dragon Clan appeared on the battleground. His aura was even more terrifying than the previous diabolic dragon devil. His 10,000-meter-long body emanated a baleful aura that instantly reduced numerous people in his surroundings into mincemeat. The people had died before they could even make a sound.
"Beast! You deserve death for killing so many humans!" roared Xiang Yangzhan as his eyes turned red from fury. He had been protecting the Ziling Sect before this, but in his fury, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot toward the newly arrived diabolic dragon devil. In his hand appeared a purple spear, the weapon he had made his name with, the Thunderclap Spear.
The Thunderclap Spear was the lifebound weapon Xiang Yangzhan had personally nurtured. It had grown alongside him, and after his recent growth in cultivation, it had become a god-grade weapon.
Xiang Yangzhan displayed a strength far beyond an ordinary fifth-stage Rebirth Realm cultivator. In fact, his combat strength was already nearing the level of a sixth-stage Rebirth Realm cultivator.
Any God Realm cultivator capable of fighting those with a higher cultivation level would be known as a Godking. For Gods, punching above one's class was extremely difficult because the gap between stages in the God Realm was extremely wide. Most geniuses would not be able to go beyond fighting those two or three stages higher than them. Thus, Xiang Yangzhan's prowess was apparent.
When the diabolic dragon devil saw Xiang Yangzhan, he clawed at him, saying, "Puny human, die!"
His claws tore space apart like paper, and as they advanced, they clashed against Xiang Yangzhan's lightning attack. Instantly, a series of explosions erupted. The impact created a storm, turning the nearby rocks and trees into dust.
"What a terrifying collision," exclaimed Xiang Shaoyun and the others from far away.
The Ziling Sect people were finally able to witness Xiang Yangzhan's strength. They were greatly astonished, as they had never imagined that their absent sect master would actually be so strong.
Xiang Shaoyun turned around, faced Devil Concubine, and said, "Devil Concubine, have the tree spirit make his move. We need to suppress this round of invasion, or this place will really be destroyed."
"Let it be. The Dusk Dynasty harbors bad intentions toward you anyway," said Devil Concubine.
"When facing a powerful enemy, we shouldn't let emotions cloud our judgment," said Xiang Shaoyun sternly.
Just as Devil Concubine was about to begrudgingly summon the tree spirit, a golden streak flew over from the horizon. A massive golden leaf dyed the sky gold, emanating a righteous aura that pushed back all the devilish energy. Next, the golden leaf descended upon the Devil Domain's entrance. The righteous aura suppressed all the devils, instantly turning countless devils into mincemeat. Not even Devil Saints survived the suppression.
Everyone gasped in shock.
"I-is that the Righteous Gold Leaf of the Righteous Buddhist Sect?"
"Isn't it obvious? A senior monk must have arrived. There's finally hope again."
"The Righteous Buddhist Sect is terrifyingly powerful. They are no weaker than the Immortal Road Chamber, Guangling Palace, and Celestial Alliance. The masses only fear them less because those monks rarely take part in the affairs of the mortal world. However, when a Buddha is furious, gods and devils alike will have to retreat."
"Look! There's someone standing on the golden leaf! It seems to be the abbot of one of their branch temples! I never knew this abbot was a God Realm expert as well!"
"More monks are arriving. The Righteous Buddhist Sect's reinforcements are here! Let's not wait—we need to defend the battlefield's outer fringe and ensure that the devils don't get into the dominion."
...
Xiang Shaoyun was also shocked to see the golden leaf. It emanated a pressure that was even heavier than what he had felt from Purple Lightning Marquis. Even if the abbot wasn't a peak Rebirth Realm expert, he could probably contend against peak Rebirth Realm experts with the golden leaf.
"Looks like we don't need to summon the tree spirit for now. Come with me. Time to kill some devils. As long as we survive this assault, more reinforcements will come," said Xiang Shaoyun.
He did not have many people with him, but all of them were elites. Thus, they could be rather capable when they worked together. Right as they charged into the battlefield, several figures charged toward Yu Caidie. In such a chaotic battlefield, nobody had expected fellow humans to act against Yu Caidie.
