Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 205

Seeing the effect was perfect, Wan Changwei let out a sigh of relief, a hint of a vicious look flickering in his eyes.

They were just one step away from success.

How could he let this group of guys slip away?

He had to push them to a breaking point!

“Everyone, I will lead the charge! Those unafraid of death, follow me!” Wan Changwei declared, exuding righteousness and fearlessness.

With that, he charged to the front, leaving behind a lofty silhouette for everyone to see.

“We swear to follow the Sect Master to the death!” Old Liu also got into the spirit of things, screaming in a frenzy.

The Yuhua Sect’s army surged forward, leading the way to the royal city.

“Kill aaaaah!!”

Seeing this spectacle, countless Cultivators shouted, following in a menacing wave.

At this point, who would still have the guts to retreat?

This battle had to be fought to the end!

Besides, they had two Immortals on their side, holding an overwhelming advantage, so there was no way they could be turned back!

As the Eastern Domain allied army charged towards the royal city with an unstoppable momentum, they exuded a vast and terrifying killing intent that even distorted the space, making for a fearsome sight.

Royal City.

At this moment, countless beings from various races were gathered, both in the sky and on the ground, densely packed with dark warships, like a massive cloud of darkness looming, creating an immense sense of oppression.

“Damn those humans! They’ve cornered us, so let’s just have a grand showdown here!”

“Exactly! If they dare to come, we’ll dare to fight!”

“Men, women, and children are all soldiers! Kill!!”

The remaining Underworld beings were filled with rage, vowing to defend their last line of defense.

Booming noises echoed—!!!

Not long after, a deafening sound erupted from the front as countless flying swords, mounts, and warships rushed forward, creating a momentum like waves crashing, threatening to crush everything in their path.

The ground trembled, the blood moon shivered.

A highly spirited Eastern Domain allied army charged towards the royal city!

“Humans are coming! Humans are coming!!”

The countless Underworld beings in the royal city turned pale, their fear pouring out in frantic cries.

Once, they were the instigators of war, invading the Eastern Domain’s fourteen states, slaughtering countless humans, treating them as mere lambs to be humiliated and killed at will. Now, as fortunes turned, the human coalition was storming into the Underworld, making them experience that painful taste themselves.

“My people, do not panic!”

A majestic voice echoed across the vast space.

Before everyone’s eyes, King Dāngyōu appeared in mid-air, hands behind his back, as immovable as Mount Tai.

“It’s the King!”

The beings seemed to find their backbone, excitedly shouting.

“With me here, the Underworld will not perish!”

King Dāngyōu spoke firmly, relying on his powerful backing, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

Boom!

The crowd erupted in surprise.

Various beings were shocked and delighted, thinking that someone capable of saying such words must possess the means to turn the tide, right?

Thundering sounds…

The Eastern Domain allied army had already drawn near to the royal city. Seeing the opponent’s fierce words, the Cultivators couldn’t help but laugh in anger.

To be fair, King Dāngyōu was a perfect Tribulation Stage master, a supreme ruler of the Underworld, with combat prowess definitely among the top ranks below Immortals.

But the problem was, they had two True Immortals on their side; no matter how strong the Tribulation Stage got, it couldn’t compete with True Immortals!

Initially thinking the Underworld beings had some tricks up their sleeves, it turned out to be a case of overthinking.

It was merely a desperate struggle, a temporary alliance!

“Hmph, arrogance! Watch me take your life with one sword!” Xue Wuhen’s eyes sparkled brightly, the surging Immortal Power in his body converging on his sword as he decisively slashed.

Boom!

A terrifying sword light that made the heavens and earth pale appeared, like a towering snow cascade threatening to bury the ancient royal city.

“Not good!” Various beings turned pale with despair in their eyes.

This was the power of an Immortal; how could they possibly resist?

King Dāngyōu didn’t dare to act tough anymore, his scalp tingling in fear as he shouted for survival:

“Invoke the divine!”

No sooner had he spoken.

In the void, a dark purple giant hand suddenly reached out, shattering that sword light into dust.

Boom!

Snowflakes flew everywhere, turning into nothingness.

“What?!” Xue Wuhen’s expression changed, realizing the one who intervened was also a True Immortal!

So the Underworld wasn’t simple after all!

Swish!

Mingye suddenly appeared out of thin air, flanked by five companions, all radiating powerful Immortal energy.

The six powerful figures cast a shadow over the hearts of the Eastern Domain Cultivators.

“Such a small Underworld, and yet there are six True Immortal level powerhouses?” Xue Wuhen sensed danger, but then thought of Kunpeng and felt a bit at ease.

Gladly, Senior Ye was here.

“Divine envoy? The rumors were true!”

The beings from various races instantly erupted into cheers, tears of excitement flowing as they knelt before the six powerful figures.

King Dāngyōu swallowed hard; that sword made him feel the gap—no matter how many Tribulation Stage masters there were, they would all die.

“Thank you, Divine Envoy, I’m eternally grateful!” King Dāngyōu said respectfully, cupping his hands.

Mingye shot him a sideways glance, chuckling derisively, “Weren’t you just feeling mighty? Why the sudden cowardice?”

King Dāngyōu forced a smile, “Divine envoy, you jest! My confidence comes entirely from you! I’m just the messenger of heaven, you are the true heaven of the Underworld.”

Such flattery elevated him to unprecedented heights, allowing all Underworld beings to witness their usually high and mighty king in such a humble position.

But they quickly accepted it; after all, this was a messenger of the divine, a great existence who could save the Underworld.

“Hmph!”

Mingye didn’t bother further, his cold gaze tauntingly fixated on Xue Wuhen, “Sword Immortal? Interesting.”

That sword strike, from the perspective of a newly promoted True Immortal, was already quite impressive; had he not employed his clan’s technique, it would have been impossible to easily dispel.

Xue Wuhen coldly retorted, “So you’re the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.”

Mingye’s tone was laden with meaning, “Exactly. Your arrival here is the biggest mistake of your life.”

At this, the faces of all present turned grim, feeling the pressure of being on a tiger’s back.

Could it be that they were really going to be turned over?

At this moment, a thunderous shout shattered the atmosphere.

“Don’t be arrogant!”

“I, Wan Changwei, shall personally slay the Immortal today, to uphold the dignity of the Human Race!”

Wan Changwei’s overwhelming aura erupted, roaring continuously as he charged toward the royal city amidst countless shocked gazes.

“I will follow the Sect Master to the death!” Old Liu roared, soaring up and following suit.

“Kill aaaa!” The Yuhua Sect’s Cultivators’ eyes flashed, mimicking the call to follow their Sect Master.

Thus, this battalion from the Yuhua Sect split from the Eastern Domain allied army and aggressively rushed towards the royal city.

“Master Wan…” the other Cultivators were incredulous. Was it really necessary to be this fierce?

Did they really dare to charge in directly?

“At least if we die, we’ll go down in history!”

“Yuhua Sect is awesome! Master Wan is awesome!”

The clamor rose and fell.

Who would have thought, after breaking away from the main army, Wan Changwei suddenly changed his face, excitedly yelling:

“Friends! Friends!”

King Dāngyōu immediately understood his identity, waving his hand excitedly, “Don’t attack! He’s our loyal friend from the Underworld!”

Subsequently, Wan Changwei led the Yuhua Sect to switch sides publicly, standing with the royal city’s forces, confronting the Eastern Domain allied army from a distance.

This sudden change nearly threw everyone’s backs out.

What the hell?

What’s happening here?!!

“O great divine envoy, as per your instructions, I have successfully lured the Eastern Domain allied forces in. I hope to get some praises from the ancestors after this mission is a success,” Wan Changwei said, respectfully cupping his hands toward the towering figure.

Mingye chuckled, “You did well. This plan owes you an indelible contribution!”

“Thank you, divine envoy,” Wan Changwei said, feeling as if a weight had been lifted off his heart, with a beaming smile.

At this moment, the Eastern Domain allied army fell into a hush, countless people dumbfounded, utterly unexpected at this turn of events.

The esteemed first cultivation holy ground of the Eastern Domain, actually colluding secretly with the Underworld?

What a complete absurdity!
