Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 179

Hong Qianye bit her lip tightly, looking like she was in real discomfort.

“No, I have to start fighting quickly; otherwise, he’s really going to crack up! If he laughs while fighting, his combat power will drop!”

Just as she raised the Heavenly Dao Halberd, ready to charge in, a booming sound suddenly echoed from the distance, shattering the thick clouds.

Swish! A golden figure that seemed more than human tore through the air, arriving over Red Brow Mountain with a powerful stance.

Two dragon horns sprouted from its forehead, messy hair cascaded over its shoulders, and a handsome face radiated confidence and tranquility. With hands clasped behind his back and a tail slowly swaying, a terrifying aura surrounded him, distorting the surrounding void into faint ripples.

Above him were six large characters, as if declaring to the world: I possess the demeanor of an Immortal!

The newcomer was none other than Chen Xiao.

“Tsk, tsk, it’s down to just you few now. Although you’ve kept me from fully experiencing the fun of slaughtering, taking out the few strongest here should still give me a thrill, right?”

A cruel smile flickered at the corner of Chen Xiao’s mouth, treating the three of them as mere prey.

“Holy crap, how did you pull off that look?” Li Wujie asked, dumbfounded.

Compared to the half-human, half-dragon eye-catching figure, his ride on the giant eagle felt pathetic…

No matter how big his eagle was, it didn’t matter!

“Could it be some kind of Martial Arts Technique?” Xue Wuhen wondered, sensing a dominantly powerful force emanating from Chen Xiao.

But the question was, how did he achieve this?

“Who are you?!” Hong Qianye narrowed her eyes, gripping the Heavenly Dao Halberd and aiming it at that figure, an intense sense of crisis rising in her heart.

“You ask who I am? Then I’ll benevolently tell you: I am the destined son about to inherit Fallen Immortal Island!” Chen Xiao proclaimed flamboyantly. As his voice fell, the sky erupted with howling winds and thunder.

Hong Qianye’s expression shifted as she sneered, “You’re a bit too arrogant, don’t you think you’re invincible?”

“Indeed, I, this Saint Son, am invincible!”

“Got a problem with that?”

Chen Xiao gazed down with disdain, confidence soaring ever since gaining the Divine Dragon Power—he wore his arrogance openly.

Hong Qianye’s face darkened, “Then I’ll help you wake up!”

As she spoke, she turned to Xue Wuhen and said seriously, “Let’s team up to take him down together!”

“I think that’s a good idea; this guy’s power is really strange,” Li Wujie suggested.

Glancing at the muscular little girl, Xue Wuhen retracted his gaze and coldly replied, “I agree.”

“Hahaha, fine! Go ahead and all attack me at once; I’m in a hurry!” Chen Xiao’s expression was filled with excitement as he saw the three planning to join forces, his Aura skyrocketing.

Boom!

The weather turned ominous, and deep in the sky, thunder rumbled continuously.

“Kill!”

Hong Qianye unleashed her purple flames from her twin wings, stirring up a torrential flow of heat as she charged toward Chen Xiao.

The Heavenly Dao Halberd swept violently—its dark purple blade radiated terror, as if ready to slice through half of the sky.

A crashing sound!

A brilliant orb of light exploded.

Hong Qianye smiled smugly; after all, this was a full-powered strike from an epic weapon, its might was boundless—surely that arrogant guy would suffer severe injuries!

Xue Wuhen frowned; if it were him facing that attack, he would never come out unscathed.

But as the light faded, a figure that seemed more than human remained standing, a mocking smile on its face.

“Is that all?”

Chen Xiao flickered and struck with his palm; upon closer inspection, his hand transformed into a dragon claw, exuding an aura of majesty.

“What?!” Hong Qianye exclaimed, shocked that the opponent was completely unscathed.

The dragon claw lunged fiercely, colliding violently with the Heavenly Dao Halberd, releasing a terrifying wave that shook the space.

“Ugh…”

A trickle of blood escaped from Hong Qianye’s lips, shock filling her eyes.

What kind of power is this?

Even an epic weapon has to concede?!

Swish!

Seeing the situation was amiss, Xue Wuhen gathered his energy in the Ice Spirit Sword, shooting a flash of ice-blue sword light into the sky, accompanied by a burst of violent winds and snow.

“Hmm?” Chen Xiao intended to finish him off but was interrupted by the sudden attack, causing his movements to slow slightly.

Hong Qianye seized the opportunity to distance herself, her eyes filled with apprehension as she questioned, “Where did you get your power?”

“Exactly, why can you transform? We can’t!” Li Wujie fumed, utterly dissatisfied, as his giant eagle paled in comparison.

“I’ve told you, I am the destined son, destined to inherit the legacy of Fallen Immortal Island—you lowly trash don’t even deserve to be compared to me!” Chen Xiao raised his hand to shatter the ice-blue sword light, exuding a haughty demeanor.

“Damn it, let’s take him down!” Li Wujie could no longer tolerate this pompous jerk; infuriated, he charged forward on his giant eagle, swinging his sword down with all his might.

Swish! The blade light glimmered like divine punishment; clearly, this was a low-grade Heavenly Level combat skill!

It was evident that Li Wujie had been holding back, and now he had been forced out by Chen Xiao.

“Blood can flow, and you must die!!!” In everyone’s view, this muscular little girl on the giant eagle roared fiercely, brimming with emotion.

“Humph! You hideous creature, how dare you approach this Saint Son?” Chen Xiao felt disgusted by the sight, the very presence of her making him uncomfortable.

With a face full of revulsion, he extended his dragon claw toward that dazzling blade light.

Boom!

In the next moment, that brilliant blade light was shattered. Li Wujie felt an overwhelming force surge toward him, sending him flying back, blood spraying.

“Ugh!”

Seeing their master being sent flying, the giant eagle furiously flapped its wings, unleashing countless sharp feathers toward Chen Xiao.

“Do you dare be bold in front of me, you mere bird?” Chen Xiao sneered, waving his hand to shatter thousands of feathers.

With a flick of his wrist, a gold dragon claw that spanned three yards formed, exuding a frightening dragon power, and swiftly seized the giant eagle.

As the eagle was engulfed by dragon power, it lost all combat capability, powerless against the dragon claw’s grip, filled with despair and fear.

Boom!

With a powerful crush, the mighty eagle exploded mid-air.

Seeing this, Li Wujie felt his eyes were about to burst with rage, “Ahhh, my eagle has exploded!!!”

“Condolences,” Xue Wuhen couldn’t help but comfort the distraught muscular little girl.

“Indeed, your giant eagle was smashed by me, hahahaha…” Chen Xiao was thoroughly pleased, reveling in it.

“My eagle is gone, you’ve ruined my eagle!”

“Ah, I’ll kill you!!”

Even knowing this was a virtual world, Li Wujie had formed a deep bond with his giant eagle along the way. Now seeing it obliterated, his eyes turned red as if he was about to transform into a demon that would shatter the heavens.

Swish!

Consumed by fury, Li Wujie charged at full speed, determined to avenge his eagle.

“Don’t be rash!” Hong Qianye hurriedly warned him.

But it was too late; Chen Xiao let out a cold laugh and dove, his long dragon tail sweeping across the sky like a comet.

Boom!

Li Wujie was flung high into the air, blood-soaked.

After all, in this place, he didn’t have the bloodline of madness; his abilities were extremely limited.

Whoosh! Chen Xiao flashed above, mockingly watching as the muscular little girl approached. He raised his dragon claw to deliver a fatal blow.

Suddenly, Li Wujie gritted his teeth, producing a yellow talisman, infusing it with magical power, and vanished into thin air. At the crucial moment, he executed a blink skill, repositioning himself behind Chen Xiao.

“Hmm?” Chen Xiao sensed something amiss and saw eight talismans stick to him, bursting forth with mysterious light.

Six were weak, two ignited; all hit the target!

Feeling the negative effects weighing down on him, Chen Xiao erupted with rage, furious that this woman had tricked him. He swiped his claw through the muscular little girl’s chest, splattering blood everywhere.

“Help me avenge my eagle!” Li Wujie yelled desperately.

“Die!”

Chen Xiao was furious, suddenly putting more force into his strike.

Boom! The muscular little girl was killed instantly, transforming into a square box that fell to the ground.

“No!!!” Xue Wuhen howled to the sky, snowflakes swirling around him as the northern winds howled.

In a fit of rage, he wielded the Ice Spirit Sword, launching a swift strike, as if he had become an ice and snow divine dragon. Snowstorm swept down, seemingly aiming to bury Red Brow Mountain.

This was a high-grade Heavenly Level ultimate skill, the Destruction Ray!

“Now’s the time!” Hong Qianye’s eyes gleamed with determination; they had to seize the advantage created by her dying ally.

Swish!

Channeling all her magical power into the Heavenly Dao Halberd, she shot out a blood-red light beam ten yards wide, enveloping Chen Xiao in its destructive aura.

“Damn it!”

Now in a weakened state, Chen Xiao felt the incoming threat and dared not act recklessly anymore; he braced himself and faced the two terrifying onslaughts.

Boom~!!!

The blazing and dazzling orb illuminated the heavens as violent energy currents rampaged around, causing Red Brow Mountain to tremble violently—the ground and the mountains cracked, dust swirling, and countless stones fell.

The scene was reminiscent of a catastrophe descending upon the world!
