Everyone in the audience was utterly astonished.

This drastic change was beyond everyone's expectations.

First, Jun Xiaoyao completely crushed Xiang Fei, piercing through his Overlord Body with Divine Light.

Then, Xiang Fei produced that jar, spilling the black blood onto Jun Xiaoyao.

Finally, came the words from Jun Xiaoyao, "You are not the Overlord."

The amount of information within just a few breaths was overwhelming, leaving many unable to react.

Especially the sentence, "You are not the Overlord," which left everyone baffled and completely confused.

"What on earth is happening?" Ruying and others were surprised, their faces filled with bewilderment.

Sizzling!

The black blood on Jun Xiaoyao's body appeared alive, constantly corroding the Seven-Colored Sacred Dragon Armor while infiltrating his Holy Body.

In Jun Xiaoyao's mind, a chilling aura emerged.

It was as if a soul-reaping messenger in the void intended to harvest the Holy Body.

Simultaneously, a demonic sound echoed, penetrating his mind.

"The Holy Body... must be extinguished..."

The words were eerie, mournful, and chilling.

It was like a poison targeting the Holy Body.

That black blood was the Blood of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.

However, it was the Blood of a Sacred Body tainted by a curse.

Jun Xiaoyao knew about the existence of such a Sacred Body Curse.

Some Desolate Ancient Sacred Bodies, in their later years or when facing great tribulations, would encounter ominous calamities.

In the end, they either went mad and demonized or perished.

Previously, when Jun Xiaoyao manipulated the Fallen Sacred Body, he experienced a slight sense of this.

However, at that time, he paid it little mind. The Sacred Body Curse was typically not encountered until the late stage of cultivation.

But now, Xiang Fei used despicable means to spill the Cursed Blood onto him, intending to pollute his Holy Body.

At this moment, black qi coiled around Jun Xiaoyao's body.

This Cursed Blood was bizarre, specifically countering the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.

Even though the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body possessed resistance against malevolent forces, it couldn't fend off this erosion.

One could say, even a powerful Martial Guardian, if tainted with this Cursed Blood, would find it extremely troublesome.

Because this had nothing to do with cultivation; it was a restraint on the Holy Body itself.

Jun Xiaoyao's body trembled slightly, appearing problematic to outsiders.

"Big brother!"

"Master!"

Ning Chen, Xiaoxuanxuan, Ning Defa, and the others' expressions changed drastically.

Carrying a trace of the Holy Body Bloodline, they could also sense the terror of that black blood.

It was said that if they were tainted, death would be instantaneous, without any exception!

The Martial Guardian frowned, seeming to have realized something, a glint of cold flashed in his eyes.

The multitude of onlooking cultivators whispered among themselves, causing an uproar.

"What's going on? That black blood Xiang Fei produced seems to have such restraint on the Holy Body?"

"I heard that the Holy Body Lineage has always had a curse, eerie and troublesome, and even a Great Success Sacred Body might not avoid it, let alone the Jun Family's Divine Son."

"By the way, what did the Jun Family's Divine Son mean by saying Xiang Fei is not the Overlord? How is that possible?"

Everyone present was both surprised and bewildered.

Every person's attitude was different.

Saint Profound Yi, and the Seven Kills Thief lurking in the shadows, had a glint in their eyes.

If Jun Xiaoyao truly had a problem due to this Cursed Blood, it would undoubtedly weaken his power.

It would also provide other Celestial Prides a chance to surpass him.

Ruying remained curious, continuing to observe.

Ji Qingyi's eyes showed a thoughtful look as she glanced at Xiang Fei, pondering, "Could this be a plot by the Overlord Lineage?"

One could say, the current situation was entirely beyond everyone's expectations.

What was once a straightforward Holy Body and Overlord Body contest.

Now, it was shrouded in an aura of conspiracy.

There seemed to be hidden truths.

"Cough, cough... Jun Xiaoyao, how does the taste of Cursed Blood feel? This came from the Overlord Ancestral Hall, extracted from the corpse of an ancient Supreme Sacred Body under a curse."

Xiang Fei was kneeling on one knee, clutching his shattered chest.

His entire body showed signs of cracking, like a fractured porcelain.

Even a mighty Overlord Body could not withstand Jun Xiaoyao's killing strikes.

Jun Xiaoyao still sat calmly in the Grandmaster's Chair, his expression composed.

Though black qi enshrouded him, with strange runes appearing intermittently.

Yet he showed no hint of panic.

"It seems you're merely a pitiful pawn," Jun Xiaoyao shook his head lightly.

In fact, the moment he laid eyes on Xiang Fei, he sensed something amiss.

Not because Xiang Fei was a fake Celestial Tyrant Body.

He was genuinely a Celestial Tyrant Body beyond doubt.

But calling him the Overlord didn't feel right.

In Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, an Overlord's strength should intrigue him more.

Not like Xiang Fei, who didn't even warrant him rising from his chair.

So Jun Xiaoyao speculated then, that Xiang Fei was a Celestial Tyrant Body but wasn't necessarily the Overlord.

Everyone else was deceived.

Simply assuming that being an Overlord Body meant being the Overlord.

Little did they know, Celestial Tyrant Bodies, while rare, could have more than one per era.

Everyone was fooled by Xiang Fei.

Or perhaps, deceived by the Overlord Lineage.

"Heh, a pawn you say? Yet here you are, tainted with Cursed Blood, with your Holy Body's power waning."

"The Lord Overlord will kill you, raising the might of our Overlord Lineage; she is an invincible existence!" A fervor ignited in Xiang Fei's eyes.

The crowd exploded at these words!

Xiang Fei truly wasn't the Overlord!

This left everyone dizzy, incredulous.

Sweeping the Ancient Road undefeated, the unparalleled Celestial Tyrant Body Xiang Fei wasn't truly the Overlord.

Moreover, from his tone, he seemed to revere the true Overlord greatly.

What identity could make even a Celestial Tyrant Body so fervently devoted to an Overlord, and just how powerful is she?

Unimaginable!

"Goodness, a generation's Overlord so strong to have a Celestial Tyrant Body as a follower?"

"Turns out we were under a misconception, thinking a Celestial Tyrant Body must be the Overlord, not realizing there could be more than one Overlord."

Now, everyone wised up.

They had fallen into a thought trap.

Instinctively thinking Xiang Fei must be the Overlord.

Standing before them now were two Holy Bodies, why couldn't there be two Overlords?

"So that's it; it appears the Overlord Ancestral Hall wants to sacrifice you to weaken my power with Cursed Blood, paving the way for the real Overlord to ascend."

"I must say, sacrificing a genuine Celestial Tyrant Body takes real guts." Jun Xiaoyao clicked his tongue in admiration.

The Overlord Ancestor Hall knew that in a fight between Xiang Fei and Jun Xiaoyao, he would surely be at a disadvantage.

In a clash between two great physiques, one must die.

Once Xiang Fei arrived, there was no surviving return from Jun Xiaoyao's grasp.

Even if the Overlord Ancestral Hall's adepts arrived, they couldn't take Xiang Fei alive.

Thus, they sacrificed Xiang Fei to weaken Jun Xiaoyao, allowing the true Overlord to rise.

"As you've now been discarded, I, the Divine Son, will kindly see you off." Jun Xiaoyao's face was indifferent.

He never intended to suppress and recruit an Overlord Body.

An Overlord Body could never submit to a Holy Body; it's an opposition etched in their bones and blood.

Jun Xiaoyao struck again, his Divine Light obliterating everything, aimed at Xiang Fei.

"The Lord Overlord will avenge me!" Xiang Fei roared, unleashing all his strength, rushing at Jun Xiaoyao for a final gamble.

Ultimately, he was reduced to ashes in the unending Divine Radiance.
