I Am Overlord

restriction.

”Don't bother.
Just stay, ” said the phantom as the restriction started changing.

Behind the stele, the graveyard, filled with spiritual energy, suddenly turned into a zone of blood.
The soil, herbs, and buildings transformed into piles of bones, as though time was accelerating rapidly as the entire world shifted.

The three Sovereigns trapped within the restriction also started changing.
The old man's life force started weakening, and his black hair turned white while his skin shriveled until it looked like tree bark.
It was a terrifying scene to behold.

”W-what is going on? Why is my life force draining? This is impossible! This must be an illusion! ” the old man roared in panic.

Anyone would sink into a panic in this situation.

”Why am I turning old? What is happening? Yes, this must be an illusion! This damn restriction, I need to break it! ” The same thing happened to the eight-winged bee, and he started doing everything he could to save himself.

The flower fairy was also aging abruptly.
Similarly, she did not sit around doing nothing.
She tried shoving the saint herb in her hand down her throat, but then she found that the herb had withered just like her.

”Why is this happening? I don't want to die! ” the fairy howled in alarm.

The three struggled madly, trying to charge out of the restriction.

”Save me! Young brother, save me!” The old man called weakly in Xiang Shaoyun's direction.

”Please, save us.
We will reward you generously, ” the eight-winged bee and flower fairy begged as well.

They had no other option, and they viewed Xiang Shaoyun as their final lifeline.

Looking at them, Xiang Shaoyun said indifferently, ”You are all stronger than me.
How am I supposed to save you? You should beg this thing instead. ”

The phantom was still there.
Xiang Shaoyun had been standing to the side vigilantly, not daring to be careless.
He would not even think of saving the three, as that was basically suicide.

The three turned to the phantom and begged, ”Please spare us.
We don't want the saint herbs anymore. ”

In the face of death, they could give up even dignity, to say nothing of some saint herbs.

”Haha, I can't save you.
Only he can save you, ” said the phantom, who started roaring with laughter.

”I can save them? ” Xiang Shaoyun asked as he pointed at himself.

”Yes, you can.
You're the only one.
Hahaha! ” said the phantom as it laughed before slowly vanishing into the air.

”Young brother, please, save us! ” pleaded the old man as he bowed.

”Please, you must help me! I will repay you generously! ” shouted the eight-winged bee.

The fairy was too weak to speak, but the way she was looking at Xiang Shaoyun made it clear what she was thinking.
Who would want to die if one could continue living? Xiang Shaoyun did not give them blind promises.
He used the profundity of earth and tried sensing any formations underground.

Unfortunately, he found nothing.
Or perhaps there was a formation here, but it was too sophisticated for him to detect.

After giving it some thought, his gaze landed on the stele as he muttered, ”Is the solution on the stele? ”
