Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 180

Chen Xiao, whose state was drastically reduced, was simultaneously besieged by two powerful forces. He felt as if his entire body was being brutally squeezed, his organs burning in agony, a stream of bright red blood gushing from his mouth, his golden vertical pupils wide with shock and fury.

“You’ve completely ticked me off!!!”

An enraged roar burst forth, faintly mixed with a regal dragon’s roar, shaking the heavens themselves.

Chen Xiao gritted his back teeth, summoning all the Divine Dragon Power within him. In an instant, he erupted with a blazing brilliance, his skin sprouting hardened dragon scales that shimmered with a golden light.

With dragon horns atop his head, clad in dragon armor, his limbs transformed into dragon claws, and a dragon tail swayed behind him—he was practically a little dragon man!

After unleashing the pure Divine Dragon Power, Chen Xiao’s aura surged, even more terrifying than before.

Boom~!!!

The air exploded, waves of pressure surged, and the two ferocious forces were directly neutralized.

“What?!”

Hong Qianye’s expression changed drastically as she stared in disbelief at the figure of the dragon man.

“This…” Xue Wuhen’s eyelids fluttered, his heart tossing like a stormy sea.

Relying neither on equipment nor techniques, where exactly did this person’s power come from?

The sky dimmed, the air turned chaotic.

In the void, Chen Xiao’s gaze flickered like lightning, standing with his hands behind his back, his aura ancient and powerful, akin to an ancestral dragon descending.

Under the overwhelming pressure of the dragon’s might, all the monsters on this island had to kneel, respectfully declaring: “Hail, Dragon King!!”

“In the face of absolute power, any resistance or scheme is utterly futile!”

Chen Xiao glanced at the wooden box that contained Li Wujie’s dead body, his gaze mockingly shifting to the other two, raising his hand to condense a massive sphere of black and white light, which then split into two, flying off as if imbued with spirit.

Roar!

A high-pitched dragon roar echoed through the valley.

The black light transformed into a black dragon, while the white light became a white dragon.

These two giant dragons, one black and one white, spiraled with bodies over a thousand meters long, their tails whipping towards Hong Qianye and Xue Wuhen.

“Not good!”

Both felt their hearts sink, having expended too much magical power in their earlier attack, and now there was no time to recover, rushing to combat, putting them in a dire situation.

Rumble~~!!

After a brief clash, Hong Qianye and Xue Wuhen quickly fell, each being slammed by one of the giant dragons into the foot of the mountain with an earth-shattering explosion, countless rocks tumbling down, dense smoke billowing like a tide, creating a truly horrifying scene.

“Apologies, my friend, I didn’t avenge you and your statue…” The bloodied, disheveled young man in white muttered, looking sadly at the ground.

After speaking, Xue Wuhen’s head drooped weakly, his body morphing into a small square wooden box.

Even at the moment of death, he was still thinking about the muscular loli’s every frown and smile…

After all, Xue Wuhen’s protective gear was only of excellent quality; after enduring such an attack, there was simply no chance of surviving.

On the cliff, the white tiger, witnessing everything, cried out in sorrow over the loss of its master.

“Cough cough!” Not far away, a broken spear stuck diagonally in the ground, a young figure half-kneeling, drenched in blood, his epic-level equipment severely damaged, barely keeping him alive.

Looking up at the sky, that mighty figure comparable to the Dragon King, Hong Qianye’s face turned extremely grim, filled with intense unwillingness.

“Damn it, is this enormous heavenly fortune really going to him?” Hong Qianye felt deeply frustrated, gritting his teeth in anger.

This was supposed to be the inheritance of a top-level immortal!

But now, it seemed so far out of reach.

“Ah hahaha…” A laugh echoed over Red Brow Mountain, Chen Xiao thoroughly enjoying this feeling of invincibility.

Regarding this inheritance from Fallen Immortal Island, he now felt it was within his grasp!

“After hardship comes sweetness, after hardship comes sweetness!!” Chen Xiao recalled the trials he had faced earlier and combined it with the fortune that was about to come, unable to resist spreading his arms wide, his smile growing even broader.

All enemies, are stepping stones for this Saint Son.

Now was the best proof!

Once this Saint Son gains the treasure, he would soar into the sky, and the past humiliations would be repaid a thousandfold!

“Once I take you down, I become the ultimate winner.” A cruel smile hung on Chen Xiao’s lips as he slowly extended a finger, releasing a terrifying aura.

Hong Qianye felt a chill run down his spine, the shadow of death looming in his heart.

But he could not resist, the difference in strength too great, and could only watch helplessly as he was set to be killed.

At this moment, the death energy surrounding Red Brow Mountain was closing in, and aside from this area, everywhere else had long since been engulfed, becoming a hell devoid of light.

Clong clong clong~

Suddenly, the rhythmic sound of hooves echoed.

Looking toward the sound, he saw a gray donkey with bulging eyes, its long tongue outstretched, trying to touch the swaying carrot in front of it.

Sitting atop the donkey was a youth with a bald head, a comical face, sitting cross-legged, holding a fishing rod with a carrot tied to it, enticing the donkey to move forward.

Above him, a prominent line of text read: “Invincible and Lonely!”

“Huh? There’s actually a third Tester?” Seeing this strange combination, Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow, realizing he had gotten too carried away and missed the remaining count on the map.

“That’s the quirky one from the earlier Immortal Ship.” Hong Qianye squinted, that familiar annoying vibe emanating from the other person for some reason.

Could it be……

Hong Qianye shook his head; even if it really was that person, showing up now was hardly different from volunteering for death.

After all, having just witnessed the fierce battle, Hong Qianye had already concluded that Chen Xiao was the ultimate victor.

In the face of absolute power, what was the point of competing?

“Luckily, it’s not too late.” Ye Junlin glanced back at the deathly aura enveloping the area behind him, still feeling a shiver down his spine.

“So this is Red Brow Mountain?” Ye Junlin observed curiously.

Red Brow Mountain had been ravaged by the fierce battle and was now in ruins. He continued scanning, spotting the surviving purple-clad youth, along with the domineering figure looming above.

“Whoa, there’s a little dragon man in this game!” Ye Junlin gasped at Chen Xiao’s dragon form.

“Get lost!”

Hearing this title, Chen Xiao snapped angrily, “What little dragon man? Call me Dragon King, Lord!”

With that bald man’s annoyingly smug face and previous offense, Chen Xiao felt his temper flair.

Moreover, this guy gave him a feeling of extreme familiarity, which was incredibly annoying!

“No way, no way, you really think you’re the Dragon King after changing your skin?” the bald man shouted loudly, his face and the name on his head clearly exaggeratedly mocking.

Upon hearing this.

Chen Xiao’s eyes twitched, his face darkening like a storm. This guy was even more despicable than the enemies he had faced before.

“Scum like you, just die!” In a blind rage, Chen Xiao threw his dragon claw forward.

Rumble! The dragon claw came down like a giant hand, surrounded by a substantial golden dragon illusion, bringing immense terror as it slammed towards the bald man.

The bald man stood frozen, as if he were scared stiff.

“Ah, I knew it…” Hong Qianye sighed, aware that the outcome was already set.

“Die!!” Chen Xiao’s expression was twisted with rage, feeling exhilarated as if he had finally let out a pent-up breath.

Whoosh~!

Just then, a golden blade of dazzling light cleaved the sky, slicing through the vast firmament, parting the heavens to reveal horrific rifts that seemed ready to shatter this world’s limits.

“Ah!” Chen Xiao shrank back as if electrocuted, his bloody hand barely avoiding being severed, filled with terror as he looked back with fright, “What weapon is that?!”

That one strike made him feel the threat of death, even awakening a deep-seated fear from the bloodline within him!

This was simply unbelievable; he was a man who had obtained Divine Dragon Power. What could possibly pose a threat to him on this island?

“Hiss!!” Witnessing the sudden change, Hong Qianye gasped, his face filled with shock.

In view, that bald man riding the donkey held aloft a large knife styled to be imposing and fierce, the handle inlaid with dragon motifs, the blade radiant with golden light, exuding a domineering aura that seemed able to sever the heavens.

“Ever played Legend? Heard of the Dragon-Slaying Blade?”

Ye Junlin, wielding the Dragon-Slaying Blade, exuded absolute confidence, declaring, “I’m garbage, so come and cut me if you’re my bro!!”
