Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 355

Swish! Li Wujie appeared above him, slashing down with a heavy blow. The violent blade aura tore through heaven and earth!

The Lean Tall Man felt his scalp tingle, gritting his teeth as he met the attack with six ghostly knives held in his six arms. The dark blades looked like ink splattered everywhere, and their aura was oddly sinister.

Clang~!!!

The metallic clang filled the air.

In the split second of the blade clash, circular, flat, transparent ripples radiated out.

Thank goodness they were thousands of meters in the air; if this were in the Yin-Yang Sacred Ground, the shockwaves from the battle alone could nearly annihilate all disciples and elders.

Li Wujie’s eyes were blood red, his expression frenzied, as he continuously swung his giant blade, slashing horizontally and vertically with unmatched ferocity.

Every strike contained terrifying power.

The pressure left the Lean Tall Man gasping for air, his blood and energy churning violently within him, every organ feeling like it was ablaze with pain.

“Ugh…”

In less than half a stick of incense, the Lean Tall Man’s mouth bled, and horrifying blood streaks appeared across his body.

Most frighteningly, even with his self-healing ability as an Immortal King, the injuries on him were slow to recover because every wound was laced with remnants of the heavenly knife intent.

Like a festering maggot, it consumed his freshly minted flesh, leaving him in constant, unbearable agony!

Feeling the danger of the situation, the Lean Tall Man’s heart was filled with fear and absurdity.

How was it possible that a once-dreaded Blade Ghost from ancient times was being overpowered by a junior in this era?

The craziest part? The other party was merely a Profound Immortal!

“Li, buddy, you’re amazing,” Lin Duxiu gasped in shock.

Ji Baxiao was overjoyed, proudly declaring, “Did you see that? My big brother is furious! That dog is just waiting to be chopped to pieces!”

“The Blade Demon truly lives up to its name,” muttered the Yin-Yang Lord, eyes wide.

A crazed sword cultivator; wasn’t that the Blade Demon?

While everyone was excited, the Great Mushroom King was filled with worry.

He knew that although Li Wujie’s special state made him powerful, losing his sanity made him the most dangerous—he could very well slaughter his own!

Once he went berserk, even allies wouldn’t be spared!

In the sky, massive blade auras collided violently, dark red lightning crackling between them.

“Enough, you’re impressive!”

“Give the Blade Ghost some face. It won’t be good for anyone if this continues! Just stop, and I’ll leave at once without setting foot here again, acting like nothing happened!”

Desperate to withstand the brutal assault, the Lean Tall Man yelled in a panic.

His condition worsened; he genuinely did not want to fight anymore.

“Roar~!”

But Li Wujie seemed not to hear, his frenzied roar echoing.

His mind was filled with thoughts of slaughter, eyes blood red like a beast, as he relentlessly attacked the Lean Tall Man, every strike lethal.

“Don’t you go too far! If I’m pushed to the brink, I’ll self-destruct, and you and your friends will die too!!!”

The Lean Tall Man’s heart raced; he was furious and anxious.

In theory, when Immortal Kings clashed, unless one could obliterate the other in one go, if the latter self-destructed, it would mean mutual destruction.

Thus, at this level, it was wise to show mercy.

That’s why the Lean Tall Man thought he could negotiate!

Sadly…

What he faced was a madman who had lost all reason!

“Kill! Kill! Kill!” Li Wujie couldn’t hear reason, bent on slaying the guy in front of him.

Realizing death was imminent, the Lean Tall Man decided to go all out, sneering in rage, “Alright, alright, you’re pushing me!”

The next second…

Fueled by reckless anger, the Lean Tall Man triggered his Immortal Source to explode.

With a crackle, his body shattered like broken ceramics, streams of Immortal light bursting forth from the cracks, filling the air with a sense of destruction.

“Not good, that guy is going to self-destruct!” the crowd gasped.

At that moment…

Sensing the source of the threat, Li Wujie instinctively delivered a lethal strike.

The blade flashed faster than lightning, shattering the void.

The speed of that slash was so sudden that even the Lean Tall Man didn’t react in time, feeling his Immortal Source instantly destroyed, robbed of all strength—he was weaker than a mortal now.

“You…”

The Lean Tall Man’s eyes were filled with terror and overwhelming despair.

Li Wujie’s face was filled with fury, his eyes flashing a bloodthirsty red.

With the bloodied ink knife embedded in the other’s abdomen, he quickly sliced, tearing apart the whole body.

Slash~

The Lean Tall Man was sliced into several pieces, a spray of blood bursting into the air.

Not a single remnant remained!

“Too awesome!”

Seeing the heart-stopping scene, all the cultivators cheered, overwhelmed with joy.

“Haha, my big brother is invincible!” Ji Baxiao clapped, ecstatic.

“Who would’ve thought, you’re truly a blessing to our Yin-Yang Sacred Ground.”

Watching this typically boastful and arrogant young man, the Yin-Yang Lord couldn’t help but marvel.

At the same time, he was awakened to the truth.

A Profound Immortal could kill an Immortal King!

What kind of monstrous talent was this?

Senior Ye’s disciples were no ordinary folks!

If his disciples were this extraordinary, what kind of unfathomable ability must the Master have?

Thinking this, the Yin-Yang Lord felt increasingly awed, almost wanting to worship Ye Junlin as a deity.

“Big brother, you’re tired, right? Come down and rest!” Ji Baxiao waved excitedly.

Oblivious to the greater crisis brewing.

After killing the Lean Tall Man, Li Wujie stood like a wooden puppet, as if feeling a loss of purpose.

“Roar!”

He threw his head back and howled, his demonic aura rolling like waves, his mind consumed with thoughts of continuing the slaughter.

Then, Li Wujie suddenly turned around, his blood-red eyes coldly scanning the throngs of cultivators below like ants.

A terrifying sense of oppression descended upon the Yin-Yang Sacred Ground, silencing the cheering crowd in an instant.

Everyone felt a chill, filled with doubt.

What’s happening?

Is one kill not enough? He wants to slaughter us too?

What is this madness?

“My big brother… seems a bit… off,” Ji Baxiao gulped, eyes wide.

He suddenly remembered the important information Hong Qianye revealed earlier, that Li Wujie would murder even his own people when he went mad.

At first, he was skeptical; now he believed it wholeheartedly.

“Kill!”

The single word echoed heavily, echoing across the realm.

Li Wujie raised his blade high, aiming to cleave the Yin-Yang Sacred Ground in half.

“Run!!!”

Countless disciples and elders screamed and scattered, the scene descending into chaos.

“Li, calm down!”

The Great Mushroom King gritted his teeth, knowing he was the only one who could stop Li Wujie right now.

Whoosh, a green protective shield rose, swirling with ancient runes, pulsing endlessly.

Boom!

The azure shield took the hit head-on, rippling with immense energy.

“Ugh,” the Great Mushroom King grimaced, kneeling on the ground, desperately maintaining the shield.

Behind him, a vision of a chaotic azure lotus emerged.

Swish swish~

Countless green life energies surrounded him, rapidly repairing his internal injuries while sustaining the shield.

Understand this:

Currently, Li Wujie was in full battle mode, terrifyingly powerful; the fact that the Great Mushroom King could hold out was truly impressive!

“Li, I’m begging you, please come to your senses…”

The Great Mushroom King’s face was pained as he felt the massive flow of Immortal energy slipping away. He knew that if this continued, the shield would eventually break.

At that point, none would be spared!

“Ah, this is fate,”

the Yin-Yang Lord collapsed to the ground, wryly smiling.

Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

The game was all about mindset!

Lin Duxiu gritted his teeth:

“It looks like Li is losing his wits. Unless there’s some special method to forcibly suppress the killing thoughts in his mind, he will just keep going mad.”

“The problem is, achieving that is incredibly difficult.”

“If that’s the case…” Hearing this, Ji Baxiao’s eyes flickered rapidly, beads of sweat forming on his forehead as if he was grasping something.

Suddenly, he had a flash of insight,

“Everyone, don’t panic! I have a plan!!”
