I Am Overlord

Chapter 1699: Eighteen Asura Infernal Formation

The shopkeepers and the employees of the tavern were no weaklings.
The moment the space around the tavern was sealed, they noticed what was happening.
However, they were all bound before they could do anything.

The shopkeeper might be a God, but before a stronger God, he couldn't do anything.
Each of the dark assassins was a top-class God Realm assassin.
The leader was a seventh-stage God, stronger than even Huang Baiwu.

Not only were the 18 assassins strong, but they also cultivated a formation called the Eighteen Asura Infernal Formation.
Only those who cultivated the power of darkness could be part of their formation.

The powerful formation had sealed the tavern, making sure that any fight in the tavern would not be detected outside.
These people were here to assassinate Xiang Shaoyun.
They were trying to prevent him from joining the Guardians Guild.

When Huang Baiwu sensed the murderous aura on them, the Dragon God Sword appeared in his hand.
He unhesitatingly mustered all his strength and charged toward the enemies.
A powerful fiery dragon flew out, emanating a violent and domineering strength that caused even the seventh-stage God to be astonished.

The leader did not underestimate Huang Baiwu, and he ordered his people accordingly, “Get into position and kill him.” 

The 18 assassins had excellent teamwork.
They each stood at a different position before releasing their energy, sealing Huang Baiwu's surroundings as a large amount of dark energy formed a scene from hell.
It was as though countless asuras had emerged from hell, each with a terrifying appearance as they bared their fangs and brandished their claws.
With their mouths breathing out baleful energy and sharp weapons in their hands, they charged Huang Baiwu.

The scene created by the Eighteen Asura Infernal Formation was incredibly vivid.
Even Huang Baiwu felt all his hair stand on end.
Fortunately, he had plenty of combat experience and was able to unleash three burning slashes with his Dragon God Sword.
With his slashes and the fiery dragon around him, he burned the scene from hell into nothingness.

However, the Eighteen Asura Infernal Formation was too powerful.
The combination of the formation, a seventh-stage God, and other Gods of varying levels was not something an ordinary person could handle.

Huang Baiwu's attack might be fierce, but he was unable to fully destroy the hell around him.
He became battered and exhausted as wounds appeared on his body.
An intensely corrosive energy invaded him, causing him to start losing control over his god body.

Why is this formation so strong? Huang Baiwu exclaimed inwardly before taking out his trump card.
He was not going to allow himself to be defeated so easily.

He attacked fiercely, and as the burning sun and fiery dragon crisscrossed before him, countless sword rays shot out and destroyed the asuras.
His combat strength reached the level of seventh-stage Rebirth Realm, and even the 18 Gods were having a hard time defeating him immediately.

Inside the room, Xiang Shaoyun had long sensed the disturbances outside.
However, he did not do anything as he was confident Huang Baiwu would be able to deal with it.
It seemed he had underestimated his enemies; the assassins sent his way were even stronger than expected.
Not even Huang Baiwu could defeat them.

As the divine dao eyes spun, Xiang Shaoyun scanned the entire Eighteen Asura Infernal Formation.
He was unable to find any weakness in the formation.
“A regular sixth-stage Rebirth Realm cultivator will probably die helplessly once trapped in this formation.
Baiwu is doing very well to last this long.”

He could sense that the formation was strong enough to kill seventh-stage Rebirth Realm cultivators.
In fact, it could even deal with eighth-stage Rebirth Realm cultivators.

“Stop wasting time.
Use all your strength and kill him,” said the leader, clearly becoming impatient.
With a roar, he unleashed all his strength.
He transformed into an asura and slammed the club in his hand at Huang Baiwu.

The other 17 assassins also attacked from their respective positions.
Attacks rained down upon Huang Baiwu from all directions as though an entire hell was unleashing destruction upon Huang Baiwu.

After blocking repeated attacks, Huang Baiwu was finally caught off guard.
The seventh-stage God had appeared behind him unknowingly.
He smashed his club at Huang Baiwu's head.
Huang Baiwu was too preoccupied with the attacks in front of him, and he was losing focus due to the corrosive energy in his body.
Huang Baiwu had no way of defending against the attack coming from behind.

During that moment of crisis, a crack appeared in the air and swallowed the entire Eighteen Asura Infernal Formation.
The 18 assassins were greatly alarmed.
They all blanked out in shock.
At the same time, countless chains shot toward them.

“What gives you the courage to attack this overlord?” Xiang Shaoyun's voice rang out.

The seventh-stage God reacted immediately.
He roared at the others, “This is the Imperial Nether Domain! Everyone, get into position and break free!”

Limitless Asura!

They reacted in a way befitting their identities as veteran combatants.
Their energy fused, and 18 asuras combined into a massive asura so strong it broke free of the Imperial Nether Domain's suppression.
It then swung its club at the border of the domain, intending to smash the domain apart.

When Xiang Shaoyun sensed how powerful the asura was, he raised his brow and sent his soul clone flying out.
He immediately utilized the dao of time, creating a flow of yin and yang as time reversed, returning the asura to the exact moment of its formation.
The time disturbance caused the flawless formation to collapse, and Xiang Shaoyun took the chance to send countless chains shooting over.
The formation was completely destroyed.

Whoosh!

The weaker ones of the 18 assassins were directly crushed by the chains, their divine blood splattering everywhere.
Even the stronger ones were suppressed by the Imperial Nether Domain, causing their combat strength and defensive prowess to greatly weaken.
They seemed completely helpless against the domain.

The seventh-stage God was in great fear.
He had clearly sensed the formation of the Limitless Asura, but Xiang Shaoyun had somehow disrupted the formation with some weird technique.
He had a hard time believing that had happened.

“What is happening?” asked the seventh-stage God in alarm.

Standing atop the nine-colored lotus, Xiang Shaoyun flew over.
The boundless energy emanating from him was beyond what a seventh-stage God in peak condition could withstand, not to mention when one was being suppressed in the Imperial Nether Domain.

Boom!
