Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 345

Hearing the boiling shouts, Bone Sage’s eyes burst with radiance, his aged voice tinged with anger,

“So you’re the leader of the Fire Cult!”

Bone Sage wasn’t surprised; he had thought the Fire Cult’s leader was no more than a slightly bigger ant, perhaps just a bit stronger than Ye Wusheng.

He never expected the opponent’s strength to be so formidable, far beyond his imagination!

Whoosh!

A pair of fiery wings formed behind Hong Qianye, dazzling like a phoenix’s feathers, emanating a terrifying energy that scorched the surrounding void and rippled the air.

“Old man, you dare touch my people? Today’s your day to die!”

Her cold voice was filled with murderous intent and undeniable dominance.

The scene thrilled the Fire Cult’s followers, as if they were witnessing a deity.

“The leader truly embodies celestial grace,” sighed White Eagle Law King.

The other three Law Kings nodded, their eyes brimming with reverence, akin to starstruck fans finally meeting their idol.

After all, they joined the Fire Cult for Hong Qianye’s esteemed influence.

Bone Sage, furious, chuckled,

“You little brat, daring to boast in front of me! When I was wreaking havoc on the Demonic Path, you weren’t even born!”

“Well then, let me show you what a gap in strength really looks like!”

With that, he pinched a spell using one hand, murmuring incantations.

Swish!

His entire body was enveloped in numerous pitch-black lights, exuding a scent of death, which quickly merged into a towering, monumental skeletal form.

This skeletal form was only the upper half but stood a staggering fifty thousand feet tall, dwarfing Bone Sage like a speck of dust.

Strangely enough, it had eight eerie skeletal arms, each bone adorned with dark golden runes that shimmered with an extraordinary, sinister light.

When this malevolent eight-armed skeletal form appeared, it filled the surrounding thousand miles with an overwhelming sense of pressure!

“Oh my…” A multitude of cultivators collapsed in fear, staring at the imposing skeletal form.

“Too terrifying! The Red Demon stands no chance!” Ye Wusheng trembled, convinced Hong Qianye was doomed.

Bone Sage, residing within the skeletal body, easily manipulated the colossal creature.

Confident in this signature divine ability, he believed that, as an Immortal King of the eighth heaven, dealing with an Immortal Sovereign would be a walk in the park!

Bone Sage aimed to crush this unseasoned little brat with absolute power!

“Hehe, are you scared stupid?”

Bone Sage wore a contemptuous expression, eager to relish Hong Qianye’s terrified face.

To his surprise, Hong Qianye sneered a few times, disregarding the released waves of authority. With a fierce flap of her fiery wings, she transformed into a spectacular streak of crimson fire, slicing through the air.

A sharp, whistling sound erupted as the air exploded!

Boom, boom, boom…

In an instant, the skeletal form was bombarded by a flurry of flame blades, its entire body flickering and unstable.

“Wait a minute, you’re actually at the seventh rank of Immortal Power?!” Bone Sage seemed to catch onto something, his eyes wide with shock.

He finally realized the quality of Hong Qianye’s Immortal Power surpassed his own.

“Old man, do you think hiding in there makes you safe?!”

Hong Qianye’s gaze sharpened as she poured her surging Immortal Power into her dazzling fiery wings, turning them a brilliant gold, and radiating with sacred light.

“Phoenix Dance in Nine Heavens!”

Suddenly, the skies erupted with the regal cry of a phoenix, causing countless creatures to shudder in fear.

Amid the awe-filled gazes, a blazing golden light surged, resembling a divine phoenix soaring across the heavens.

“Damn it!”

Bone Sage looked grim as he hastily commanded the skeletal form to retaliate.

All eight skeletal arms swung fiercely, fists swirling with dark energy, striking down like a black hole, carrying unparalleled terror.

Boom!

A cataclysmic explosion resonated.

In the heavens, a radiant, colossal orb appeared, blinding many.

As the shockwaves gradually faded, the skeletal form was left mangled, six of its eight arms destroyed.

Bone Sage’s eyes widened, his pupils flickering, seemingly struggling to accept the outcome.

“How is this kind of power possible?!”

That strike was beyond what an Immortal Sovereign could achieve; if not for Hong Qianye’s obvious strength, Bone Sage would have thought she was bluffing.

“See? This is our leader’s power!” Gui Jianchou exclaimed, exhilarated and inspired.

“Our leader is unparalleled! Immortal Power boundless!”

The once-concerned cultists marveled at this unforgettable scene, their faces flush with fervor.

In stark contrast to the Fire Cult’s celebration, the ranks of cultivators stood in stunned silence.

Ye Wusheng was left dumbfounded, “This power is just too outrageous…”

In his beliefs, anyone below an Immortal King was an ant, yet the undeniable truth before him was slapping him in the face.

“This new technique isn’t half bad,” Hong Qianye thought, a playful smile curving her lips.

Phoenix Dance in Nine Heavens was a brand-new fire-type divine ability she mastered after advancing to the level of Immortal Sovereign.

While its rank was lower than Red Lotus Hellfire, its execution felt much more natural.

“Impossible! Even if you’re at the seventh rank, I won’t be defeated by you!”

Bone Sage initially froze in shock, but then his face twisted with anger. Determined to obliterate this extraordinary talent, he decided to go all out against Hong Qianye.

Quickly, obscure incantations flowed from his mouth, and under Bone Sage’s hand seals, the dark halo morphed into the Five-Point Star Fiend Formation, unexpectedly unfolding overhead.

“You’re lucky to die under my signature move, brat!”

His hoarse, grating voice carried immense murderous intent.

Roar!!!

The magnificent echo of a dragon’s roar resonated across the vast skies.

The world paled, mountains crumbled; the entire Flame State felt the impact, a doomsday scene of erupting lava everywhere.

“What is this?”

Hong Qianye’s forehead throbbed, a chilling sensation creeping into her mind, proving the strength of the enemy’s move.

Within the dark Five-Point Star Fiend Formation, a skeletal dragon with wings blocking the sun and moon soared forth, its eyes ablaze with ghostly green fire, radiating overwhelming dread!

“Kill!”

Bone Sage’s expression twisted with madness as he shouted.

The roar of the dragon was deafening.

As the skeletal dragon took flight, it opened its mouth and unleashed a torrent of dark hellfire, filled with destructive energy.

Hong Qianye frowned, urging her golden wings to interlace in front of her and forcefully blocked the formidable onslaught.

Even so, she felt the immense pressure; sweat beaded on her forehead, her expression turning serious.

After all, the hellfire spewed by the dragon summoned by Bone Sage was powerful enough to incinerate many Immortal Kings.

That she could even hold it off for a moment was already a miracle.

“This…”

The sudden turn of events made Gui Jianchou and the others feel their hearts leap to their throats.

The atmosphere became intensely fraught.

“You can’t hold it! Just die already!” Bone Sage sneered while making hand gestures.

In an instant, the skeletal dragon radiated dark brilliance and increased its fire-spitting assault, the infernal fire seemingly ready to scorch the world, utterly terrifying.

“I can’t let this continue…” Hong Qianye gritted her teeth, feeling the pressure escalating.

But in the next moment,

The earth shook, and the sun and moon lost their light, as though some unspeakable horror had emerged from the void.

“Roar~~~~!!”

The high, mighty echoes of a dragon’s roar resounded for miles, striking terror into countless beings.

In comparison, the skeletal dragon’s roar sounded comical, like a cat imitating a tiger!

“What’s happening?!”

Bone Sage’s scalp tingled, a strong sense of crisis overwhelming him.

Suddenly, a dominating, towering figure descended, wild black hair streaming, with sharp black horns on his forehead, a chiseled face, high bridge of the nose, and narrow, glowing eyes like twin flames in the dark.

Exposing his robust upper body, with patches of tough dragon scales shimmering with a golden divine light, he boasted a thick dragon tail trailing behind him.

In both appearance and aura, he was absolutely top-tier!

The dragon man scanned Hong Qianye, his eyes reflecting intrigue, then turned his gaze to the menacing skeletal dragon, his expression twisted with disdain.

“Such garbage, and you call it a dragon?”

His deep, magnetic voice dripped with contempt.

Then, to Bone Sage’s disbelief, the dragon man lifted his hand and swatted down.

In an instant, the fearsome skeletal dragon was obliterated, its bones shattered, disintegrating into the sky…
