Chapter 1049: Wu Yuan! Late-stage Overlord! (1)
In Wu Yuan's initial plan, he would bait and kill thousands of Sovereigns, revealing just his second-stage Overlord strength. There was no need to expose the nine Mo Yuan swords.
When Overlord Wan Du appeared, Wu Yuan felt a flicker of killing intent. Yet, he restrained himself. After all, there was little significance in killing a single Overlord.
However, the repeated threats from Overlord Wan Du only fueled Wu Yuan's anger, and he grew less willing to suppress his emotions.
After all, Wu Yuan's Dao Heart pursued fearlessness and great freedom!
Overlord Yan Chi's arrival was the final straw that solidified Wu Yuan's resolve.
If he could slay two Overlords in a single burst, that was worth it. Moreover, Overlord Wan Du appeared to be carrying a Xiantian artifact, prompting Wu Yuan to make the call.
Having made his decision, Wu Yuan acted on it right away.
The sudden eruption of his full power shook heaven and earth. With his Azure Origin Armor, Mo Yuan sabers, his formidable deity body, and his vital ether—all empowered by his Yuan Soul—the attack nearly reached the fourth-stage Overlord level.
That ultimate strike composed of nine blade rays cut through Overlord Wan Du's nine long shuttles with overwhelming force.
The two were now on completely different levels. Wan Du, possessing only a single Xiantian artifact, was merely at the second-stage Overlord level. The gap between a second-stage and a peak second-stage Overlord was small. Thus, even though Overlord Wan Du had been losing ground, he could still easily fend off Wu Yuan's attacks repeatedly, battling him to a stalemate.
But compared to an attack nearly at the fourth-stage Overlord-level? The difference was colossal. They were in entirely different leagues!
