I Am Overlord Chapter 1622: Jadeflesh Demon

Chapter 1622: Jadeflesh Demon

Outside the alien territory core, Xiang Shaoyun's group had encountered several waves of attacks from skeleton soldiers and remnant souls. They had not suffered many casualties, but they were pretty exhausted from all the harassment.
Xiang Shaoyun wanted to charge right into the core, but he could see the dangers hidden within. It would be too hard for him to enter alone, but he wouldn't be able to enter with so many people either. Xiang Shaoyun's group could only wait for the aliens to come out before attacking them, but that would waste too much time, and their one year in the ancient battlefield was almost over.
At this time, a group called the Crown Legion suddenly approached them. The Crown Legion was a group led by He Changrui and He Caiyi. They had gathered a large number of people under them. The group was filled with powerful soldiers and valiant mounts, making them look rather formidable. The two groups looked at each other from a distance, their battle intent surging. Nobody was willing to let the other party surpass them in terms of imposingness.
"Brother Xiang, it truly is joyful to be able to see you here," said He Changrui with a smile.
"Yes, I'm happy to see you as well, first prince," said Xiang Shaoyun. "First prince, do you intend to charge straight in?"
"I'm not valiant enough to try something like that. There are a lot of experts among the aliens. I don't intend to send the brothers and sisters under me to their deaths," said He Changrui. "Why don't we join hands against the aliens? We can gather more strength together. As for the contribution points, each of us will rely on our own strength to gather them."
"That's a good idea, but even if we wait here, the aliens might not necessarily come out," said Xiang Shaoyun with a nod.
"The aliens won't shrink from a fight against humanity. There are other humans in the area, and there will definitely be someone impatient enough to make the first attack. After all, this is the place with the most hidden god-grade objects in the entire ancient battlefield," said He Changrui.
That was true. The aliens were all imprisoned in the ancient battlefield, and they had basically gotten their pick of all the treasures in the battlefield. Perhaps these treasures weren't anything special for powerful Gods, but for cultivators on the path to godhood like them, these treasures were invaluable.
"That makes sense. Let's wait around for a bit, then," said Xiang Shaoyun.
He found himself looking at this prince in an entirely new light. Previously, he had disrespected the prince. Surprisingly, the prince was still willing to propose cooperating with them. He showed wisdom no ordinary person was capable of, especially when the person in question was a crown prince.
At this time, the many groups around the core settled down. None of them took the initiative to attack, as everyone was waiting for the perfect opportunity to make a move. Meanwhile, the members of the Guardians Guild were busy lobbying the various groups, attempting to gather everyone together before attacking the aliens.
The Guardians Guild members in charge of persuading all the groups were seniors from the previous generation and were all pseudo-Gods with formidable strength. They hoped to make all the groups forget their differences and join hands against the aliens.
Xiang Shaoyun and He Changrui did not mind the plan. At this point, they had to work together if they really wanted to take down the aliens. Everyone agreed to launch an attack in three days.
But not even three days had passed when the aliens took the initiative to attack them, with Xiang Shaoyun's group being their target. Countless skeleton soldiers and remnant souls burst out of the ground. Even if Xiang Shaoyun's group had been on alert at all times, they were still caught by complete surprise.
"Kid with the Imperial Nether Clan bloodline, come and die!" roared a powerful alien as he soared into the sky.
From the alien's aura, he was evidently an actual God. Rather than being an ordinary God, he was a second-stage God. Someone like that was strong enough to defeat all the Saints in the ancient battlefield.
"Everyone, attack him," commanded Zhuge Zhantian as he brandished the banner in his hands.
At his command, the Overlord Legion members attacked the alien with all their strength. The barrage of attacks covered the sky, bringing with them enough destructiveness to force even a God to be careful.
However, the alien they were facing was a member of the jadeflesh demon race, which was known for their power of light. His entire body consisted of bright-jade flesh, granting him a formidable defense. Additionally, he could also use the profundity of light in battle.
Bright Mirror Reflection!
The jadeflesh demon's body started changing as his skin shone brightly. A bright mirror, which was his skin, collided against the incoming attacks and deflected them back at his attackers.
Everyone's expression changed when they saw the reflected attacks. Just as they were about to flee, Zhuge Zhantian's voice rang out, "Get into formation. If we scatter, we will suffer even more casualties!"
Zhuge Zhantian reacted in a way befitting his title as a military advisor. Under his command, everyone moved and erected their respective defensive barriers. The barriers joined into a powerful defensive shield that protected everyone from the incoming attacks.
Rumble! Rumble!
"Haha, die, all of you!" The jadeflesh demon dove down before swinging his god-grade jade weapon in one direction. The domineering slash split the barrier open and instantly killed dozens of people, causing a disastrous loss.
This was how terrifying a God was: unstoppable for those below the God Realm. At this point, the Overlord Legion sank into chaos. Xiang Shaoyun had been paying close attention to the jadeflesh demon. He naturally wouldn't watch as the alien killed his comrades. With the Sky Measuring Step, he charged toward the alien while the Imperial Nether Domain expanded around him and enveloped the alien.
Surprisingly, the jadeflesh demon did not seem to fear Xiang Shaoyun's Imperial Nether Domain. He had detected the incoming domain, but he did not even try to escape.
"Others might fear your Imperial Nether Domain, but not my race!" said the jadeflesh demon as a clump of pure, jade-ish radiance appeared beside him. The clump of radiance instantly repelled the suppressive effect of the domain from his body.
Jade Light Ocean!
That was an innate ability of the jadeflesh demons. The ability could create a domain ruled by a jade radiance, an ability that the jadeflesh demons relied on to dominate the battlefield.
Xiang Shaoyun was astonished.
"Die!" The jadeflesh demon roared before charging toward Xiang Shaoyun, seemingly immune from the Imperial Nether Domain around him.
Xiang Shaoyun gathered the power of his Imperial Nether Domain and sent it sweeping forward in an attempt to crush the Jade Light Ocean. However, he failed, and his domain was instead being slowly invaded. When the jadeflesh demon arrived near Xiang Shaoyun, he swung his jade weapon down toward Xiang Shaoyun's head with a seemingly unstoppable strength and speed.
