Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 315

The higher-ups of the Holy Land unanimously believed that Liu Qingming had fallen victim to the Red Demon Hong Qianye’s treacherous hand, having his memories tampered with without permission—such an act was a provocation against Xuantian Holy Land!

Lin Duxiu deeply sympathized with Liu Qingming’s tragic fate and felt absolute disgust towards the cruel methods of the behind-the-scenes true villain, the Red Demon.

This was utterly outrageous!

Seeing the Red Demon make an appearance now, Lin Duxiu was both astonished and furious, feeling as if he were facing a grave threat.

Ji Baxiao pointed at Hong Qianye with a look of shock, wanting to say something, but cautiously glanced at Qin Ruyan, ultimately managing to hold back.

“Red Demon…”

Qin Ruyan, who had always been cold and expressionless, finally reacted at this moment; it was only her keen sight that could perceive just how extraordinary this legendary figure from the Demonic Path truly was.

“Hmm?”

Hong Qianye was momentarily taken aback, then peered closely at the man in front of him, squinting his Danfeng Eyes as he pondered, “I can’t shake the feeling that I’ve seen you somewhere before.”

Lian Chengbi sneered, “Red Demon, your memory is terrible! I am the Taichu Saint Son, one of the highest commanders of the righteous army that fought against the Fire Cult back in the day!”

His tone was laced with self-satisfaction, portraying a sense of pride.

Swish!!

The surrounding temperature suddenly soared, making it feel like they were standing in a volcanic region.

At this moment, Hong Qianye’s long black hair was wildly flowing, a sharp killing intent radiating from his eyebrows. His eyes fixated on Lian Chengbi, and his voice was ice-cold and bone-chilling,

“I was just about to find Tianyuan State to settle accounts with that old pervert; you, you dog bastard, have come to throw yourself into the net.”

“Remember, it was you who came to seek death on your own; do not blame anyone else!”

Upon hearing such humiliating words, Lian Chengbi was both shocked and furious.

Did he think he was still in the Eastern Domain?

This was Taichu Holy Land, my territory! The current Saint Son was not as simple as before, more than capable of suppressing you!

“Hmph, you can insult me, but daring to insult the Holy Master is an unforgivable sin!”

“Know this, he is the recognized light of the righteous path in the Central Region!” Lian Chengbi retorted wrathfully.

As the Saint Son, he had to uphold the image of the Taichu Holy Master in the outside world.

“A dead old pervert, and he’s worthy of being called the light of the righteous path? That’s more like the disgrace of the righteous path!”

Recalling that hypocritical, cunning old man, Hong Qianye made a face full of disgust.

“Presumptuous!”

With a furious roar, Lian Chengbi knew it was time for him to act. He immediately unleashed the signature technique of Taichu Holy Land,

Boom! Boom! Boom…

The overwhelming power surged violently, causing the earth to shake and the sun and moon to dim, sending countless cultivators fleeing in panic.

“Living Beings Extinction Seal!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a massive black seal, like a mountain, formed above Hong Qianye’s head, emitting boundless dark light and exuding a destructive aura.

One could vaguely hear the wails of living beings, as if under this seal they would fall into an abyss of doom!

“Lian Chengbi’s cultivation level is actually at the third level of Profound Immortal!” Lin Duxiu’s heart was shaken.

Only recently had he advanced to the first level of Profound Immortal, and to his surprise, years later, he found that he had been left behind in cultivation by the Taichu Saint Son.

“Red Demon, take this!” Lian Chengbi, brimming with confidence, sent the Living Beings Extinction Seal to crush down.

As the huge black seal descended, a terrifying pressure surged forth like a tide.

The void collapsed, and the ground sank.

“Child’s play.”

Hong Qianye sneered, casually extending a finger toward the seal, unleashing terrifying power from his fingertip.

Boom!

The Living Beings Extinction Seal shattered like a bubble upon contact.

Lian Chengbi, filled with confidence a moment ago, was instantly dumbfounded, his face turning incredulous, “Wha, how is this possible?”

His signature move was just effortlessly neutralized?!

“So strong…” Lin Duxiu felt his scalp go numb. If he were to face Lian Chengbi’s technique, he would definitely be in for a tough time, feeling utterly helpless.

Qin Ruyan, on the contrary, appeared calm, as if she had anticipated this.

“Dog bastard, what other tricks do you have? You better show them all at once!” Hong Qianye chuckled coldly, intent on thoroughly demolishing his opponent before finishing him off.

“Kill!”

Lian Chengbi sensed something was off but could only muster all his strength in an attempt to inflict damage on the figure in red.

“Daylight Immortal Arrow!”

This was yet another signature move of Taichu Holy Land, one that only core members could cultivate. It was not only powerful but also capable of affecting the mind.

Swish~

Lian Chengbi formed a hand seal with one hand, channeling all his energy into a brilliant white light, which transformed into a dazzling arrow containing boundless lethality, piercing through the void!

However, Hong Qianye merely extended two fingers, and in Lian Chengbi’s horrified gaze, he pinched the Daylight Immortal Arrow, then forcibly extinguished it.

Now, Lian Chengbi’s face turned pale as he felt a chill run through his body, as if he were plummeting into an abyss.

The foe’s strength far exceeded his imagination.

This was beyond the scope of a Profound Immortal!

Forget him; even the true embodiment of the Taichu Holy Master might not be able to take him down.

How long has it been? The Red Demon has grown to this level?

“Run!”

A fleeting thought crossed his mind, and Lian Chengbi employed Taichu Escape Technique, his entire body turning into streams of black water, striving to flee the Sunset Mountain Range.

“Want to escape? Die!”

Hong Qianye reached out his hand vehemently.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Countless streams of primordial flaming energy erupted from the void, surrounding Lian Chengbi in the blink of an eye.

“Ahhh…”

In the raging sea of flames, Lian Chengbi revealed his true form, his pupils blood-red, fangs sharp, a pair of flesh wings sprouting from his back, and his face twisted in agony as he screamed continuously.

“How did Lian Chengbi turn into a birdman? Is he a demon race?!” Lin Duxiu exclaimed in shock.

Qin Ruyan frowned, murmuring, “This is the Undying Blood Clan…”

Lin Duxiu suddenly turned his head to look at her, astonished, “Qin Fairy, do we have such an alien race in the Kunlun Realm?”

He considered himself quite knowledgeable, having nearly read through every book in the Holy Land’s library, yet he had never heard of the Undying Blood Clan!

So, Lin Duxiu was immensely curious about how Qin Ruyan knew about it.

Qin Ruyan fell silent.

Since the upheaval of the heavens and earth, various fragmented memories had surged into her mind. Although piecing them together was a challenge, she could glean unknown yet crucial information from these fragments.

This specific characteristic was that of the alien Undying Blood Clan!

During this time, when Qin Ruyan would sit in meditation, she often dreamed of being amidst the vast starry universe, surrounded by towering alien powerhouses with terrifying auras; yet when they looked at her, their faces bore expressions of deep dread, even fear.

Then, battles erupted, the universe trembled, many supreme beings were obliterated, and countless stars shattered. Yet, she only felt increasingly helpless, and just before her death, she turned to gaze into the distance, as if taking one last look at her hometown, and then, fueled by resentment, she perished in a final explosion alongside the surrounding alien rulers…
