Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 225

He had a status in the Immortal Realm where even a casual word from him could compel countless immortals to swear their loyalty, even to the point of risking their lives.

And yet, here he was, outmatched by a mere junior from the lower realm!

This made Yuhua Sheng doubt that the other party really had a significant background; otherwise, how could they possess such extraordinary strength in this harsh environment?

Truly, human plans fall short of divine will.

Who would have thought that in the future, there would be even more terrifying prodigies coming into existence!

“Hmph, I’m an A-level official of the Immortal Court! It’s only natural for lower realm cultivators to be under my control. Have that guy named Ye come out to see me at once, or else you’ll be responsible for the consequences!”

Yuhua Sheng flicked his sleeve with an air of authority, coldly stating this as he aimed to pressure the other side into revealing themselves, allowing him to glean some clues and prepare accordingly.

“This…” Xue Wuhen frowned. Could it be that the founder of the Yuhua Sect had a significant reputation in the Immortal Realm?

If that’s the case, then having destroyed their lineage, they would be in serious danger of retaliation in the future.

“A-level official of the Immortal Court? What a joke!”

Li Wujie scoffed, “You want my Master to come out and meet you? What kind of face do you have? You tiny little official dare to act all high and mighty? If you’re so tough, why don’t you show your true form and let my Master smash you into pieces!”

In his mind, as long as his Master was around, he had nothing to fear.

“What… did you just say?”

Yuhua Sheng suspected he had misheard, his expression more terrible than if he had just eaten excrement.

An A-level official is a tiny matter? Who does he think he is?!

As for revealing his true form, if it weren’t for the destruction of the Ascension path, he would have long come down personally and wouldn’t need to be humiliated like this!

Xue Wuhen spoke in a deep voice, “Senior Ye is resting, and no unrelated person is allowed to disturb him. If you want to cause trouble, I, Xue, will accompany you to the end.”

As he spoke, Xue Wuhen’s eyes glimmered with cold light, and his long sword began to operate, ready to strike.

“Damn it,”

Yuhua Sheng realized that with his spiritual body, there was no way to get a decent advantage. He scanned the devastated Yuhua Sect, feeling furious and helpless at the same time.

What could he do? He was just unlucky!

In a fit of rage, Yuhua Sheng glared at the two and threatened, “Remember, I won’t let this go! In the future, either I’ll ascend to the Immortal Realm and kill you, or I’ll come down personally to take you out!”

“Especially you! How dare you show such disrespect to my name! I guarantee you’ll die a miserable death later!” Yuhua Sheng pointed at Li Wujie, his face turning sinister.

At this point, he could only say a few threatening words to vent his feelings.

“What’s wrong with you? After seeing my prized possession, you’re still not satisfied? Truly ungrateful!” Li Wujie shook his head, sighing.

Upon hearing this,

Yuhua Sheng froze and remembered the eye-watering scene from earlier, his eye muscles twitching violently, feeling an impulse to spit blood.

He had lived until now and had never seen such a brazen person!

“Go die!” Yuhua Sheng shouted, ignoring everything as he lunged at the Hat Man, wanting to tear him apart.

Whoosh!

Always on guard, Xue Wuhen swiftly drew his sword. The dazzling sword light ripped through the void, hitting the enraged Yuhua Sheng directly.

Bang~

The explosion of the spiritual body echoed.

In the air, Yuhua Sheng’s last scream was heard before everything fell silent.

“Hmph, ungrateful!” Xue Wuhen snorted coldly, elegantly sheathing his sword, looking quite dignified.

“Ah hahaha, I really have to thank you, Brother Xue, for your help! Come visit Xuantian Sect sometime; I’d be more than happy to have you!” Li Wujie laughed heartily, patting the white-clad man on the shoulder with a very warm attitude.

For someone at the Tribulation Stage to call a sword immortal his brother was indeed a rare sight.

Xue Wuhen didn’t mind this little etiquette; in fact, he found Senior Ye’s third disciple quite genuine.

“Wait!”

Xue Wuhen suddenly thought of something and raised an eyebrow, his gaze shifting suspiciously to Li Wujie.

“By the way, you remind me of someone I used to know…”

Li Wujie’s demeanor and approach reminded Xue Wuhen of a remarkable girl he had admired in the past.

That muscular loli from the final trials on Fallen Immortal Island!

“Ah?”

Li Wujie’s heart skipped a beat; it seemed he remembered something as his big hand instinctively shrank back, awkwardly chuckling, “Hehe, what a coincidence, isn’t it?”

Seeing this,

Xue Wuhen furrowed his brows, pondering, “It is quite coincidental…”

A bit of cold sweat trickled down Li Wujie’s forehead; he didn’t want to be recognized. If that happened, it would be worse than death!

If this came to light, it would be an extreme social death; just thinking about it made his toes awkward enough to want to burrow into the palace.

“Ah, there are many people who look alike in this world! Actually, I think Brother Xue also bears resemblance to a certain old friend of mine!”

“To be honest, I felt like I knew you for ages when I first saw you!”

“Destiny, it’s truly destiny!”

Li Wujie said sincerely.

“Oh?”

Xue Wuhen nodded, “It seems it really is destiny. I also greatly admire Brother Li’s passion for the Sword Path, which is similar to my own attitude toward the Sword Path.”

“Haha, that’s the spirit! Come by for some drinks sometime, and let’s have a good chat!” As he said this, Li Wujie slapped his forehead, “Oh, look at my memory. I need to report what just happened to my Master. Brother Xue, I’m leaving now!”

“Farewell!”

With that, Li Wujie left the scene as if he were a thief, feeling guilty.

Watching the figure disappearing, Xue Wuhen felt something was amiss.

After much thought, the muscular loli’s image in his mind gradually began to overlap with that of Li Wujie, causing Xue Wuhen to quickly shake his head, cutting off the thought harshly.

“No way, absolutely impossible!”

“Brother Li is right; there are indeed people who look alike in this world. I must have been nostalgic, that’s all. Sigh.”

Xue Wuhen clasped his hands behind his back, magical snowflakes floating around him, revealing a hint of nostalgia in his gaze as he murmured, “I wonder how she’s doing now?”

In the Immortal Realm.

Inside Yuhua Dao Palace.

In the most luxurious pavilion, there was a young man clad in feather robes, his face twisted with rage, smoke billowing from his seven orifices.

“A mere ant! How dare they treat me like this!”

“Aaaaaahhhhh…”

Yuhua Sheng let out an enraged roar, unleashing a terrifying aura all over his body.

The sky outside rumbled violently, and winds and thunder surged, causing countless people to tremble in fear and fall to their knees.

What on earth had happened?

That had caused an Immortal Sovereign to rage so fiercely?!

Meanwhile,

After the destruction of Yuhua Sect, the cultivators stood amidst the ruins, cheering and experiencing the thrill of revenge.

Among them, Princess Mingyue in a purple dress, her figure enchanting, had crystalline tears brimming in her beautiful eyes. As two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks, she looked up at the sky, choked with emotion, “Father, Mother, Big Brother, and Second Brother, did you all see that? The main villains who persecuted you have all been dealt with.”

Zhao Ling’er patted her back, comforting her, “Those of us who are alive need to live well.”

“Mm, I will,”

Princess Mingyue replied to Zhao Ling’er, “By the way, if it weren’t for you taking me that day, I would have been turned away by Xuantian Sect. Ling’er, you are my best sister for life!”

Zhao Ling’er, feeling touched, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, jokingly saying, “Don’t cry; if you keep crying, you won’t look good. Being my best sister has beauty standards, you know.”

Princess Mingyue smiled through her tears but then said with reluctance, “I’m really grateful that Xuantian Sect took me in during this time and helped me through the difficulty. Now that the Pure Land Nation is in dire need of rebuilding, I must return to take charge. Our future chances of meeting will become fewer.”

Zhao Ling’er laughed, “It’s all good! I’ll come to see you when I have time. When that happens, don’t forget to take me around Pure Land Nation; I also want to experience the local customs there.”

“Sure!” Princess Mingyue nodded.
