Chapter 279: The Battle of the Heavenly Mandate Elders, Desperate Ascension Road
Looking at the three people before him, Chen Changsheng quietly took a step back and then nudged Zhang Bairen beside him.
“Zhang Bairen, which one of these guys is stronger?”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Bairen glanced at Supreme Venerable Wujitian and the others, smiling as he replied.
“Among the three, of course, Supreme Venerable Wujitian, who pioneered the Golden Core system, is the strongest.”
“In the Sacred Forbidden Ground, his strength can rank in the top five.”
Hearing Supreme Venerable Wujitian’s words, he calmly said,
“You strongly opposed the attack on the Ascension Road when the Ancient Emperor attacked, so why have you changed your stance now?”
“This is a different time and place. You were strongly supporting the attack on the Ascension Road back then, so why have you changed your stance now?”
“I don’t care about how you obtained the power of the Unlucky, but the Ascension Road must be opened, even if it means going against the Sacred Forbidden Ground.”
Facing this response, Supreme Venerable Wujitian once again turned his gaze toward Chen Changsheng.
“Fellow Daoist, power has no inherent righteousness or evil; why do you insist so much on this matter?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng grinned and said,
“I know that power has no inherent righteousness or evil. How about this?”
“If you do not obstruct me from penetrating the Ascension Road, I will not obstruct you from obtaining the power of the Unlucky. This would benefit both sides.”
At these words, Supreme Venerable Wujitian’s face darkened immediately.
The sealing war had already destroyed most of the layout of the Sacred Forbidden Ground and had exposed this plan to the world.
If the Ascension Road were to be penetrated, the people from the Upper Realm might personally descend for retribution.
He absolutely did not want to see such a situation.
“Since both of you are so persistent, I will have to test your skills.”
With that, Supreme Venerable Wujitian stepped forward, his powerful aura covering the entire Ascension Road.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smacked his lips and said to Zhang Bairen,
“Zhang Bairen, it looks like this guy is strong. Can you handle it?”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s doubt, Zhang Bairen gave him an eye roll and said without words,
“Could you stop underestimating me? I’m pretty strong too.”
“How strong?”
“In the past, if I had been willing to block Wu Li, he might not have been able to break through half of the Ascension Road.”
“That’s indeed quite strong. It all depends on you now.”
Watching Chen Changsheng gesturing with his hands, Zhang Bairen rolled his eyes again.
“Fellow Daoist, let’s fight in the Void. This guy is too annoying.”
As he spoke, Zhang Bairen and Supreme Venerable Wujitian vanished from the Ascension Road.
After Supreme Venerable Wujitan left, two Heavenly Mandate elders remained on the Ascension Road.
At this moment, Nalan Xingde flew out of the team.
Examining the two people, he said coolly,
“The two of you have shattered your Heavenly Mandates; it seems you are no longer in your prime.”
Hearing this, the two Heavenly Mandate elders also examined Nalan Xingde. One of them spoke up,
“After a thousand years, you have reached this level. Truly, the young generation is to be feared.”
“Only regrettable that you were born at the wrong time. If not for someone like Zhang Bairen, you could have borne the Heavenly Mandate.”
“Your great path is quite interesting. Let me see what you’ve got.”
With that, Nalan Xingde and another Heavenly Mandate elder entered the Void.
With two high-level experts deployed in succession, Chen Changsheng was almost out of allies.
Seeing this, the remaining Heavenly Mandate elder said,
“Fellow Daoist, only you and I remain now.”
“I wish to see the demeanor of the person who taught the Ancient Emperor.”
Looking at the benevolent old man before him, Chen Changsheng smacked his lips and said,
“It seems we have no choice. Who knew I would be short-handed here?”
“By the way, may I ask which session of Heavenly Mandate elder you are?”
Upon hearing this, the old man smiled and said, “I can’t remember such titles anymore.”
“But I personally orchestrated the rebellion of the three holy lands back then.”
“Oh, why did you leave me the one who has lived the longest!”
“I’m speechless.”
…
A certain part of the Void.
“Boom!”
“Move aside!”
A middle-aged man swung his fist, his expression extremely serious as he faced a figure with indistinct features.
“Fellow Daoist, the Ascension Road cannot be penetrated; this is an ironclad rule.”
“Bullshit!”
“Nothing can stop me from doing what I want!”
…
At the exit of the Ascension Road.
“Oh dear!”
“You’re being a bit too stubborn. Half of the Ascension Road has already been breached. Can’t you change your mind?”
“If you stop the penetration of the Ascension Road, the Ancient Emperor will come looking for trouble.”
A somewhat disheveled young man was explaining, while a figure blocked his path.
“The Ascension Road cannot be penetrated; this is an ironclad rule.”
“The Ancient Emperor is indeed remarkable, but there are still people in the Upper Realm who can deal with him.”
Upon hearing this, the disheveled young man smacked his lips and said,
“You’ve already sent people to deal with the Ancient Emperor, so I assume you also have countermeasures against the Ancient Forbidden Ground.”
“Such sacrifices, truly difficult for you.”
“Well then, enough talk, let’s exchange a few moves first.”
“Since you’re here to help, you can’t just stand by.”
With that, the young man rushed over.
The intense battle even made the stars in the sky tremble.
…
On the Ascension Road.
“Whoosh!”
A sword beam flashed, and a head rolled on the ground.
Looking at the body on the ground, Meng Yu felt a sense of helplessness.
Too strong!
Too powerful!
Her strength had reached the half-step Immortal Sovereign realm, and she originally thought she could play a significant role on the Ascension Road.
But when the great battle began, she realized how naive her thoughts were.
One after another, strong figures emerged from the Sacred Forbidden Ground, each at least at the Bone Transformation realm, and every single one was a prodigy.
To put it bluntly, these people were unmatched in their own realms.
On this Ascension Road, there was no retreat and no reinforcements, only endless enemies.
What kind of mindset did those attacking the Ascension Road carry to persist?
Many thoughts flashed through Meng Yu’s mind as she swung her sword again, rushing forward because the enemy had attacked once more.
This time, Meng Yu faced a strong figure at the Immortal Sovereign realm.
