I Am Overlord

ng Shaoyun with a sigh.
He did not force himself to stay in meditation.
Instead, he walked around the snowy mountain.

The snowy mountain was desolate.
Every now and then, demonic beasts could be seen roaming around.
The vegetation was rather lush and hid quite a number of dangers.
However, all the dangers were nothing for Xiang Shaoyun.
Apart from those at the Saint Realm and above, nobody could pose him any threat.

He was in no rush to leave.
Thus, he roamed the snowy mountain, immersing himself in the desolate atmosphere while inwardly chanting the Desolation mantra.
Every now and then, he stopped and performed the many techniques he knew.
In that manner, he roamed the mountain aimlessly.

If demonic beasts were to appear, they would become his food.
If devilish plants were to appear, they would become his source of amusement.
Roaming the uninhabited mountain, Xiang Shaoyun's heart became more and more tranquil.
At one point, he even forgot that he was a devil.
He became cut off from the rest of the world and stopped caring about all worldly affairs.

Just like that, a month passed.
Xiang Shaoyun's comprehension of the Desolation mantra became increasingly deep, allowing him to frequently enter the human heaven unity state and comprehend the many profound concepts of the great dao, including three of the greatest daos: the dao of time, the dao of life, and the dao of primal chaos.

Unfortunately, his lack of astral energy made it impossible for him to verify what he had learned, causing him to feel somewhat regretful.
He had yet to comprehend the way to utilize his broken stars.
The final piece of the puzzle remained shrouded in fog, a fog that would not clear no matter how he tried.

He walked and walked until one day, he reached the fringe of the snowy mountain territory.
The temperature was much higher than on the snowy mountain, as though winter had passed and spring had arrived.
The number of beasts he saw also increased.
These beasts weren't particularly strong.
Xiang Shaoyun could easily stay hidden from them.

He continued walking around.
Before long, he arrived before a clear pond.
The pond wasn't large, but the water was clear.
Fish could be seen swimming in the pond while lush weeds could be seen growing around it.
The surrounding environment was incredibly scenic.
It had been a long time since Xiang Shaoyun had last cleaned himself.
He couldn't help undressing, and he jumped inside.

Whoosh!

The clear water splashed as Xiang Shaoyun dove deep into the pond like a fish.
A refreshing sensation covered his entire body.
His naked body looked proportionate and perfect while his skin was as fair as ivory.
Anyone who saw him would exclaim with praise.

After all, his saintly body had been tempered repeatedly with the Limit Stimulation Technique.
All his flesh had been reforged before.
After cultivating the devilish energy, he further modified his body with the devilish energy.
The god-grade spring water had also further nourished his body, allowing his body to regrow and become incomparably pure. 

Floating on the surface of the lake, Xiang Shaoyun shut his eyes and immersed himself in the refreshing sensation, enjoying the feeling of being reborn anew.

“It's good to be alive,” lamented Xiang Shaoyun.

During his battle after exiting the Saintforce Realm, he had thought that he would die for sure.
He had even prepared for his death.
However, he was resilient enough to survive and crawl out from the abyss of death.
That helped him better appreciate the wonders of life.
At this moment, his desire to live was even stronger than before.
He wanted to live better than anyone.
He did not wish to die.

In his fully relaxed state, someone approached.
He did not notice them until they reached the pond.
When he left the water, he was met with a pair of innocent eyes.
