Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 202

Looking at the imposing Eastern Domain coalition, Wan Changwei felt an uncontainable excitement, his eyes shining like he was witnessing a herd of livestock marching straight into a trap.

Then, his gaze swept over to Kunpeng, a tide of murderous intent churning within him.

“Hey, Ye, you can’t be too proud for long. Soon enough, you’ll pay a painful price for your actions!”

Just the thought of taking out a being of this level made Wan Changwei unable to suppress a grin.

He was so hyped!

Rumble…

The vast clouds shattered under a powerful aura, and wherever this formidable Eastern Domain coalition went, it felt as though nothing could stand in their way, creating a visually overwhelming effect.

Before long, a massive dark purple vortex emerged ahead, as if floating in mid-air, with no sign of life around it—the ground was cracked and parched.

Strangely, although it was broad daylight outside, the area around this dark purple vortex was as black as ink, with occasional flashes of lightning and thunder rumbling from the depths of the clouds. A closer look revealed even the twisting lightning was blood red.

This terrifying sight was enough to send ordinary folks into a panic!

“The Underworld Abyss is right in front of us!” Xue Wuhen squinted his eyes, gazing at this forbidden zone that had terrified the ancestors of the Eastern Domain.

“It truly is the most dangerous place in the Eastern Domain. Just the first glance gives me chills,” Fan Dezhen said gravely.

Legends say the Underworld Abyss is home to a hundred tribes, where many Tribulation Stage kings are born, led by the Ghost Tribe, known for its powerful cohesiveness. The human ancestors had fought them multiple times, pushing them back, but they always stopped short of entering, fearing the consequences.

“Hah, what’s to be afraid of? The Underworld Abyss rampaged through our fourteen states; now they’re just hiding. With us united, we’ll definitely wipe them out!” An Miaoyi said, waving her little pink fist, her pretty face filled with fighting spirit.

“Plus, we have Young Master Ye with us!” As she spoke, An Miaoyi blinked her beautiful big eyes towards Kunpeng.

“True enough,” Fan Dezhen relaxed a bit, stroking his beard with a smile.

Many cultivators present shared this sentiment, which was their greatest confidence to launch an attack on the Underworld Abyss.

Just as the army drew closer to the Abyss…

It seemed that the two Transformation Stage beings guarding the entrance detected the human presence and jumped out with their long spears, yelling fiercely, “Any trespassers into the Underworld Abyss will be killed without mercy!”

However, once they emerged and took in the sight before them, they were instantly left dumbfounded by shock.

Was this endless army of cultivators serious?

Sorry for the disturbance.

Without a word, the two Underworld beings turned tail and fled.

“Hah, you thought you could run?” Wan Changwei, who was itching for some action, seized the opportunity and with a flick of his sleeve, unleashed a terrifying gust of wind that swept them up and tore them apart, his method clean and efficient.

“Wan Zongzhu, well done!” someone cheered.

Wan Changwei pretended to be righteous, his voice resonant, “This is just the beginning; today, I will wash the Underworld Abyss in blood! For the sake of our fallen comrades!”

His voice carried a conviction that echoed like heavenly thunder.

“Well said!!!”

The crowd’s emotions ignited, filled with fiery combat spirit, they rushed into the vortex one after another.

At this moment, the mighty Eastern Domain coalition transformed into a straight spear.

And they plunged in fiercely!

With unstoppable momentum, they charged in fearlessly.

“Heh, these livestock finally took the bait.” Wan Changwei felt a surge of excitement as he saw this play out.

As long as they drove the Eastern Domain coalition into the Underworld Abyss, the plan would reach its most crucial step!

Swish, swish, swish~

Countless figures, flying boats, and fleets entered the Abyss in batches.

Before their eyes lay a dark, sunless world.

A false pale moon hung high in the sky, exuding a chilling and cold aura, surrounded by a desolate and vast plain, with black sand occasionally swirling about, obscuring visibility.

Staying too long in such an oppressive environment could make anyone lose their mind.

“So, this is the interior of the Underworld Abyss,” many felt a prickling sensation on their scalps, feeling quite uncomfortable.

Compared to their previous living conditions, this place seemed like hell!

At that moment.

On the boundless Underworld Plain, such a massive human force suddenly appeared, an overwhelming aura soaring skyward, nearly flipping the entire sky over.

Nearby Underworld beings were so frightened their hearts pounded, and when they released their Divine Sense to check, their expressions were filled with disbelief.

“My god, the Human Race actually broke in?!”

Countless exclamations echoed, chaos spread across the surrounding city-states, and panic ensued.

If this had been before the war, any human intruders into the Underworld would have been surrounded and attacked from all sides.

But after suffering a crushing defeat, the Underworld had taken heavy losses, and many tribes were on the verge of collapse, their overall morale at rock bottom.

So when news spread of the Eastern Domain coalition invading the Underworld, many beings felt not only shock but also intense fear.

It felt like they were going to face retribution!

“It’s all the king’s fault for getting us into this mess! Why must he provoke the Human Race? Do you think they’re easy prey?”

“It’s been so many years; this is the first time human cultivators have entered the Underworld, right?”

“What are we waiting for? Run!”

…

Amidst the clamor, panic spread through the streets of various cities, with Underworld beings of all shapes and colors fleeing in every direction, their faces disclosing their alarm.

They regretted it, cursing their ruler’s incompetence, not realizing that before the war broke out, they had all been fervently caught up in the warlike atmosphere.

“An eye for an eye!”

“My friends, kill!!!”

Dense ranks of cultivators wielding Magical Treasures broke into teams and rushed toward the nearby city-states, beginning their siege.

Groups of battle ships took formation, unleashing beams of intense light, sweeping away with destructive force.

Boom, boom, boom~!!!

Explosions erupted one after another, colorful energy orbs bursting forth, with terrifying energy currents rampaging through the heavens and earth, making quite a grim spectacle.

“Kill!”

Cultivators from various sects unleashed their signature spells, forcing the Underworld defenders to retreat step by step.

The scene was dazzling and horrific to behold.

“Die, all of you!”

As soon as the words fell, countless horrific fiery torrents rained down like a torrential downpour upon a city belonging to the Ghost Tribe.

Many ghost soldiers tried to resist, and several ghost generals and a Ghost Commander fought with all their might, but within seconds they were reduced to ashes.

“Ahhh…”

All over the city, chilling cries echoed.

“Hahaha, tremble before my power, you lowly ants!” Hong Qianye’s flowing black hair danced in the air, her stunning face radiating a thrill for slaughter, creating a stunning visual effect against the backdrop of descending fire.

Soon, the cries faded into silence; the city was consumed in a vast sea of flames.

As the Eastern Domain coalition’s assault intensified, more cities fell, unstoppable along their path.

In a city belonging to the Bone Tribe, the situation was grim.

The Middle-aged City Lord, spear in hand, was about to lead his troops to break through the encirclement.

“Dad, stop! Outside, it’s all the Human Race!!”

His daughter rushed over, tears in her eyes.

The Middle-aged City Lord roared in fury, raising his spear to the sky and howling, “I would rather die in battle than surrender! The great Bone Tribe will never bow to the lowly Human Race! Never!”

Swish!

A terrifying blade aura cut through most of the city, leaving deep black ravines in the ground, exuding hot air.

The earlier spirited guards evaporated in an instant under that single blow, not leaving even a bone fragment.

Staring at the horrific scene before him, the Middle-aged City Lord was left dumbfounded, frozen in place with his spear raised like a statue.

“Dad!” His daughter cried in fear, clutching her father’s leg and trembling; she never expected the power of the Human experts could be so terrifying.

“I think I heard someone just now saying they would fight to the death?”

Amidst the smoke, a figure appeared, wearing a hat and dressed like a rogue, gripping a pitch-black long knife, eyes gleaming with deadly intent.

Li Wujie locked his gaze onto the Bone Tribe City Lord, pointing his knife toward him, tilting his head slightly, and smiled cruelly, “It was you, wasn’t it?”

The Middle-aged City Lord felt like he was facing a monster, his bones going weak, cold sweat running down his back. The fear in his mind replaced any battle intent, and he stammered, “N-no, you heard wrong. It wasn’t me!”

“Then who was it?” Li Wujie asked.

Without thinking, the Middle-aged City Lord kicked away his trembling daughter, aiming his spear at her, and angrily said, “It was her!!”

Daughter: “???”
