Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 499

Sure thing! Here’s the translation:

—

No doubt about it, the Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign didn’t actually die. That day, what Li Ruotong destroyed with a single finger was just a clone he painstakingly created!

This led everyone to mistakenly believe that the infamous Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign had fallen when, unbeknownst to them, the real Bo Chengli was secretly lying low, completely vanishing from the public eye.

Whenever he recalled what had happened back then, Bo Chengli couldn’t help but be glad for the choices he made.

After all, he committed heinous crimes that stirred up widespread anger, prompting various Immortal Sovereigns to unite and hunt him down. If he hadn’t acted, his fate would have been to be beaten to death by a group of powerful Immortal Sovereigns.

In a rush, Bo Chengli decided to take an unconventional route, using a clone he painstakingly cultivated to boldly seek out the Li family ancestor. Although this clone couldn’t perform the Yin-Yang Absorption Technique, it was still about ninety percent of his real strength.

Bo Chengli’s thought process was simple: on one hand, he wanted to test the strength of that Li family ancestor and see if there was an opportunity for him; on the other hand, he planned to use the clone as bait for a clever strategy to escape.

The problem was, that clone was too precious; he really didn’t want to discard it unless absolutely necessary. The best outcome would be to successfully control the Li family ancestor.

After all, the Li family ancestor, Li Ruotong, was a woman and the recognized strongest Immortal Sovereign in the North Cold Immortal Domain. If he could control her, he could face all the attackers without fear!

When Bo Chengli held onto this ambition and sent the clone to confront Li Ruotong, a terrifying scene unfolded!

His proud clone had just barged into the Li family’s ancestral land when Li Ruotong, stationed deep in the Moon Palace, eliminated it with a single finger—smooth and swift, without a hint of hesitation.

It felt as though a mere insignificant bug had been squashed!

This nearly made Bo Chengli, who was covertly observing the situation, faint on the spot.

This woman’s power was utterly terrifying!

If she could easily destroy his clone, it meant she could just as easily annihilate his true self!

So, upon realizing the massive power gap, Bo Chengli quickly switched to Plan B—the clever escape!

He used the dead clone as a cover, then buried himself in obscurity, quietly developing in the North Cold Immortal Domain, waiting for the right moment.

Ironically, countless cultivators believed the Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign had been exterminated, killed by Li Ruotong’s finger high in the skies, while in reality, he was just continuing to enjoy life in a different way.

Years passed, and Bo Chengli covertly traversed many major domains, using his techniques to control several female powerhouses. But due to the bloody lesson he learned earlier, he no longer behaved recklessly and became extremely low-profile and secretive.

Gradually, a massive cultivation power began to rise in the North Cold Immortal Domain, and aside from Bo Chengli, it was entirely composed of women.

They were all renowned fairies in the area, the goddesses of countless men’s dreams.

However, under the hidden influence of the Yin-Yang Absorption Technique, they were all madly in love with Bo Chengli, willing to go through fire and water for him.

Even though the current Bo Chengli was far more powerful than before, he still had one concern: the Li family ancestor, Li Ruotong!

As long as she existed, he didn’t dare to act recklessly, remaining cautious in all he did.

Now, when a maid came to report on the situation outside, Bo Chengli immediately became serious.

“Reporting to Lord Bo, here’s what happened…” Suddenly, the maid repeated what she had seen and heard from the outside world.

“I never expected something like this to happen in the Azure Sky Domain.”

A trace of surprise flashed in Bo Chengli’s eyes.

He was extremely wary of the real strength of the Void Truth View ancestor, and to ensure everything was foolproof, he wouldn’t dare provoke that person. Who would’ve thought a woman would dare challenge such a supreme powerhouse?

“Luo Qingwu, huh? Seems like she’s a top-notch talent, but it’s a pity she offended the Void Truth View ancestor. Just this alone guarantees she has no way out!”

“Otherwise, I was thinking of personally taking a trip to bring her into my harem…”

“What a shame, what a shame!”

Bo Chengli shook his head, his tone filled with regret.

“Come on, ladies, let’s keep playing. Whoever gets caught tonight will serve me!”

Saying that, he continued, blindfolded with a black cloth, a wicked grin creeping on his lips, reaching for the young women around him.

“Oh dear, Lord Bo, you’re hurting me~”

Moments later, waves of joyful laughter erupted, with many women shaking with laughter, exuding charm.

On the other side.

The atmosphere inside the Eternal Immortal Sect was grim, thick with despair.

The news of Luo Qingwu killing Lu Tianming had spread, making everyone feel that the sect was facing annihilation.

Who was Lu Tianming? He was the disciple of the Void Truth View! To kill him just like that was like slapping the Void Truth View in the face!

What was even scarier was…

The ancestor of the Void Truth View was the most powerful being in the Azure Sky Domain, and his wrath was something the entire Eternal Immortal Sect couldn’t bear!

“Ah, Elder Luo is such a fool!”

“Causing trouble out there is one thing, but now making such a huge commotion, it seems our Eternal Immortal Sect is doomed!”

“How can we possibly defend ourselves when the Void Truth View ancestor comes?”

“It’s over! It’s really over!”

…

In no time, the members of the sect were in a panic, rumors swirling everywhere.

“Ancestor, should we make some compensation for the sect? After all, we’re at a complete disadvantage this time!”

In the Bamboo Grove, Wei Sect Master suppressed the shame within him, mustering the courage to ask.

He didn’t want to do this, but the situation left him with no choice.

After all, it was Luo Qingwu who caused such a colossal mess, threatening to topple the entire sect.

“Are you suggesting that my Eternal Immortal Sect should compromise?”

In front, a middle-aged man with long hair cascading down his back, with a distinguished appearance and a calm aura, had originally intended to drink from his tea cup but paused upon hearing this.

Swish!

His eyes suddenly burst with a fierce light, causing Wei Sect Master to shudder and not dare to meet his gaze.

“Ancestor, please don’t be angry. This is the only viable plan we have…” Wei Sect Master stammered.

Inside, he was grumbling.

As if you wouldn’t do this! Do you really dare to offend the ancestor of the Void Truth View?

It’s important to note that even though you’re also an ancestor, the power difference is like heaven and earth!

Do I really need to remind you?

This is ridiculous!

At that moment.

The Eternal Ancestor’s gaze grew even darker, his thoughts chaotic.

Ever since he returned empty-handed from the Supreme Secret Realm and missed out on the Immortal Sovereign Dao Fruit, he couldn’t describe the pain inside him.

Especially when he thought about how he was completely crushed and dominated by absolute power. Every time he recalled it, he felt an overwhelming urge to turn back time.

Now, just when he was feeling exceedingly displeased inside, the Void Truth View had the audacity to bring him trouble.

The pent-up anger within him surged more and more. As he thought about it, the Eternal Ancestor finally exploded into a rage.

He angrily smashed his cup, stood up suddenly, his long hair flying wildly, and roared with authority:

“If the ancestor of the Void Truth View dares to come here, I will surely kill him!”

As soon as those words were spoken,

It was like thunder echoing through the Bamboo Grove.

“What…”

Wei Sect Master’s head buzzed, nearly doubting his own hearing.

In his eyes, the usually low-profile ancestor had suddenly become exceptionally tough, daring to shout and kill the most powerful being in the Azure Sky Domain?

Is he out of his mind?

Boom~

However, at that moment, the sky outside suddenly darkened, casting an oppressive shadow that made one feel an eerie chill.

“I am the ancestor of the Void Truth View, and I come here not for anything else, but to destroy your Eternal Immortal Sect!”

Above the heavens, a thin, aged figure holding a whisk stepped forward, his gaze sharp as lightning slicing through the sky, his voice authoritative and filled with overwhelming power.
