The skies above the scene went dark and gloomy as they blocked the afternoon sun; the hundreds of millions of western cultivators had serious faces as they stared at the three overbearing male cultivators in the air. These three were the East, South, and North continental Overlords. The three Overlords hovered as the space trembled around them, assuming multiple cracks simultaneously.
"Show us why you are the West Overlord?! Haha, hilarious! We all know our strengths are equally matched if we fought in single combat, but look around you, Fengian Xu; there are three of us, and there is only one of you, so why don't you do yourself a favor and resign the Western territory, then perhaps we might let you keep your title as an Overlord. So?"
A fat male among the three Overlords spoke as his belly jiggled every time he breathed. He was 5' 9" tall and had a double chin with a round fat face, but contrary to his appearance, this Overlord exuded a massive wave of overwhelming pressure as even the space folded where this Overlord occupied. He was the South Overlord. He wore a luxurious green cut-sleeve robe, a green headband, and arm braces.
On the right of the South Overlord was the North Overlord; the North Overlord was a 6-foot-tall skinny man with ashy skin. He wore a grand white long-sleeve robe with numerous unknown patterns. The North Overlord floated with hands behind him and with a serious and cold expression.
And on the right of the North Overlord was the East Overlord. This Overlord wore all black with six chains attached around his arms and legs. He wore a black mask as dark energy spontaneously leaked from his body. The East Overlord spoke as his heavy deathly voice reverberated through the scene, his mask oozing dark smoke as it showed his smokey red eyes.
"West Overlord, resistance is futile; surrender now, and I shall make sure to spare your subordinates."
"Why are you guys so chatty today? Could it be you aren't confident in winning? Stop the useless chatter; you three know surrendering isn't my nature, so why don't we skip to the part where I send you three to your territories with your tails between your legs?"
Hearing this, the fat and masked Overlords expressed disgruntled faces; the masked Overlord grunted as dark smoke oozed from his mask openings. He stretched his hands open as the black chains slowly unwrapped from his arms and feet; the chains erupted with overbearing pressure, sending the western cultivators falling on their faces.
The Bored Immortal maintained his bored expression and opened his hand as a light shone from the silver ring he wore. Suddenly, a shield-like treasure flashed from the ring as it produced a green light, covering the hundreds of millions of western cultivators; with the green light, the cultivators felt their bodies unrestrained and unaffected as they slowly rose.
They looked up as they saw the green shield; the cultivators expressed disbelieving faces as they thought how powerful the shield treasure must be to protect them from the overbearing pressure of an Overlord, a Saint Ancestor realm cultivator.
In the air, the fat and masked Overlords noticed the shield protecting the cultivators from their suppressing intimidations as they couldn't help but pause with suspicion. Even the North Overlord, who always carried a cold and unreactive expression, twitched his brows in doubt. But then the Bored Immortal spoke.
"If that little treasure stupefies you, wait until I introduce you to this one."
Simultaneously, the Bored Immortal double-tapped the pentagon-shaped citizen badge on his left chest; tiny blue nanoparticles instantly engulfed the Bored Immortal as he equipped the tech battle suit. Fully equipped with the battle suit, the Bored Immortal heard a monotone voice inside his head.
<Suit activation complete. Identifying citizen badge serial code, identification complete. Welcome, citizen Fengian Xu; all suit functions have been activated and are online. Scanning environment for threats, zero threats found. Installing suit control to host; installation complete. Thank you for being a good citizen of Athos>
The monotone voice ended its speech. The Bored Immortal had a fascinated expression as he observed his body. The battle suit was blue and had the letter A engraved on the back, with the Athos Tree engraved above the letter A. The suit could cover the whole body. The Bored Immortal chuckled with excitement as he stared at the three Overlords. The suit activation was instant, and the information was directly sent into the user's consciousness.
The three Overlords had suspicious faces as they stared at the Bored Immortal, now equipped with an unknown blue uniform. But then, the Bored Immortal spoke.
"Let's begin."
The three Overlords watched as the Bored Immortal spoke, but then surprisingly, instead of him flashing at them at fast speed, he casually and steadily flew towards them as if he was;t even facing Saint Ancestors.
"Ha! Do you think wearing some armor will protect you from us? Gravity Dao!"
Suddenly, the surrounding Qi went amock as it caused the dark and gloomy clouds to clear instantly. The surroundings trembled heavily as the gravity at the scene intensified countless times more than previously. The earth assumed numerous earthquakes that spread for hundreds of thousands of miles as the Gravity Dao caused a massive dent in the earth.
Despite how devastating and earth-shattering the Overlord's Gravity Dao attack was, it didn't affect the Bored Immortal the least. On the contrary, the Bored Immortal even scoffed with disappointment. His suit had voiced the instant the fat Overlord activated the Gravity Dao.
<Detecting gravity distortion, utilizing energy absorption feature>
The Bored Immortal remained unaffected as he flew up to the three Overlords.
Seeing this, the fat Overlord had a shocked expression as he bellowed. "How is that possible!?" Even though the Bored Immortal was a Saint Ancestor, he should at least have to defend against his attacks, but he didn't even attempt to react, let alone defend. This action left the fat Immortal speechless and astonished; he felt fear slowly creep up his heart.
The masked Overlord breathed his black smoke as he spoke.
"We attack together; that armor he is wearing isn't any ordinary treasure."
With the masked Overlord's words, the three Overlords exploded with Qi as they shattered the surrounding space and demolished the structures and mountains within a ten-million-mile range. Without hesitation, they flashed at the Bored Immortal at unscalable speeds as they caused time to slow down. The three Overlords surrounded the Bored Immortal as they consecutively launched countless physical and energy attacks.
The three Overlords continuously attacked Fengian Xu as they bombarded him with endless attacks. But unexpectedly, the Bored Immortal remained unfazed and unreactive as he hovered at his spot, allowing countless attacks to reach him; all the while, the suit's AI system sounded.
<Citizen Fengian Xu, it seems you are being attacked. Calculating countering measures, calculation complete. Requesting permission to explode absorbed energy,...>
The Bored Immortal smirked as he heard the request; he uttered. "I approve."
<Initiating mass explosion of absorbed energy, estimated deaths, zero, estimated severely injured, three>
The AI sounded as simultaneously, a huge wave of energy exploded from the battlesuit as it instantly sent the three attacking Overlords flying into the distance. They heavily crashed into the space barriers, instantly shattering the space as they continued flying hundreds of millions of miles from the fight scene.
The Bored Immortal hovered as he expressed disbelievingly; even though he was the one wearing the suit, he was still shocked by how powerful it was. Note that three Saint Ancestor realm cultivators were mercilessly attacking him, and they even used their respective abilities and powerful techniques. Even their punches alone should be capable of obliterating planets. But despite all that, not only did he receive no damage, the suit alone was enough to handle three Saint Ancestor Overlords.
'This suit... it is beyond heaven-defying! Just who exactly is the One Above and those people?! How do they possess so much power and knowledge that transcends our scope of thought?! If a single citizen of Athos holds such devastating power just by wearing a battlesuit, how monstrous will Athos become in the future with trillions of citizens?!'
The Bored Immortal thought as terror flashed across his face. He couldn't even finish his thought process, as the mere thought of trillions of Athosites all having battlesuits capable of injuring and even killing Saint Ancestors made a literal nightmarish scene to behold.
The Bored Immortal stared into the distance as the AI brought up close footage of the severely injured Overlords laying in the crumbles of devastated mountains, their wounds slowly healded as they all had reality-shattering expressions. The masked Overlord stretched his arm as his black chains returned to being wrapped around his arms and legs. He spoke.
"It seems this fight already has a winner. This Overlord cannot contend with whatever treasure Fengian Xu has; I will return first."
The masked Overlord spoke as he dissipated into black smoke after.
"North Overlord, what about you? If you activate your Dao, could you win against Fengian Xu's treasure?"
"....!"
The cold-faced North Overlord remained silent as he shook his head at the fat Overlord. But the fat Overlord continued.
"It's rumored the Bored Immortal submitted to the being called the One Above; maybe that's where he got his fortunes from. Have you heard about the invitations? The One Above welcomes everyone to the inauguration ceremony of Athos, the new realm named after conquering the ancient Jian family. Since today's fight wasn't that serious, I will be going then."
The fat Overlord exclaimed as he vanished from the scene, leaving the North Overlord at the scene. Not long after, the North Overlord also vanished.
At the destroyed battle scene, Fengian Xu hovered as he saw the Overlords leaving one after the other. He shifted his attention to the battle suit and silver space ring as he murmured.
"Being a citizen of Athos is not that bad."
