Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 389

Watching Situ Yan transform into a streak of silver light and speed away, the One-Eyed Giant was left with a head full of question marks.

“Is this for real?”

“If I had known this was how it would go down, why would I even show up to die?”

Situ Yan was fierce and didn’t say much; just one short word to run, and he nailed the essence of it!

“Still want to escape?”

Perched in the sky was a massive dragon, its golden vertical pupils gleaming with mockery.

It moved, descending with a roar, its rear showing the vast aura of the Immortal Wheel, rolling like a dark golden millstone.

Directly activated the Ten-Grade Immortal Wheel!

Long Ao Tian spared no effort; with one claw, he grabbed the One-Eyed Giant’s head and, amid his terrified pleas for mercy, crushed it with a violent squeeze.

The massive body with its severed neck slowly fell backward, hitting the ground with a heavy thud.

Dead and gone!

That was Long Ao Tian’s current power.

Though the One-Eyed Giant was at the Immortal Emperor Fifth Layer, he couldn’t even last a round against Long Ao Tian and got wiped out instantly!

You can just imagine the gap in their strength!

“Waste!”

Feeling the One-Eyed Giant’s aura vanish, Situ Yan cursed under his breath as he continued to flee.

At the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of Long Ao Tian’s strength.

A genius like him would be cultivated as a priority in any world with a Saint.

Situ Yan even thought that without monsters like Ye Tian Emperor around, Long Ao Tian would be his biggest threat in sweeping through the Kunlun Realm!

“Bird Man, since you love negotiating so much, how about we talk it over in my belly?”

Long Ao Tian chased after him, grinning maliciously.

At that moment.

The formidable dragon opened its massive jaws, seemingly ready to swallow the golden-haired man flapping his wings.

If a clueless passerby happened to walk by, they’d think this evil dragon was the big bad chasing a fallen angel!

“You little pest, I won’t let you go!”

Situ Yan unexpectedly stopped, turned to face the approaching dragon, and spat out sharp words, radiating a blinding pure white light all over.

Crash!

In Long Ao Tian’s shocked gaze, Situ Yan transformed into a silvery feather, gently landing on the ground.

It turned out he was just a clone; his real body was still hiding somewhere in some corner.

Realizing this, Long Ao Tian scoffed even more disdainfully, sneering, “With this little trick, you think you can take on Ye Junlin? Your guts are smaller than a mouse’s!”

Situ Yan’s cowardly performance made him laugh, thinking that the other’s cooperation was nothing but a joke.

In the sky.

The dark golden dragon turned back, biting onto the severed arm of the headless corpse and dragging it back into its cold, eerie nest.

Soon, the sounds of bones being chewed echoed from inside.

It sent chills down the spine!

The One-Eyed Giant never dreamed he would end up dying in this way…

Meanwhile, a hundred thousand miles away, in a cave.

The golden-haired man with an angelic halo suddenly opened his eyes, filled with deep rage.

He felt an unprecedented humiliation!

That Long Ao Tian was downright annoying!

Not only did he refuse to cooperate, but he also dared to hunt him down?

On one side, Situ Yan hated Long Ao Tian’s arrogant behavior to the core; on the other hand, he was wary of his terrifying strength.

You see, right now, Situ Yan, aided by the Kunlun Realm’s environment, had restored his cultivation to the Immortal Emperor Seventh Layer level, which allowed him to deploy even more powerful methods. That previously mentioned feather clone was one of them!

Moreover, he even had the Nine-Grade Immortal Wheel, making his battle power definitely among the top ranks of the Immortal Emperor realm.

But compared to a genius like Long Ao Tian, he still fell slightly short!

“Damn it, things are still going wrong, is fate really toying with me, Situ Yan?”

Situ Yan clenched his fists, his handsome face showing a trace of fury.

He just wanted to complete his mission and make a name for himself throughout the heavenly realm, so his brother Situ Kong would view him with new respect!

“Dabu that guy, I sent him out to gather the latest news; why hasn’t he come back yet?”

Situ Yan tried hard to calm his emotions, recalling his guard, speaking with dissatisfaction.

At that moment, a nervous voice came from outside the cave, “M-Master, a special distinguished guest is here to visit you…”

“Eh?”

Situ Yan was dumbfounded at first, then his expression shifted dramatically as he jumped up and shouted angrily, “Damn it, who told you to bring outsiders? What if we expose our location?!”

“Master, I had no choice…” Dabu walked in with a gloomy face, looking like he was walking on eggshells.

And behind him trailed a lean man who looked just like him, like a reflection in a mirror or perhaps a twin brother.

“Who are you? How dare you impersonate my guard!” Situ Yan shouted in anger, his pure white wings flaring open, ready to take action against the imposter.

What surprised Situ Yan was that not only did the person’s appearance match perfectly, but even their aura was identical to Dabu’s.

The only difference was that this person wore a mocking smile, contrasting sharply with Dabu’s panicked expression.

“Hehe, I never expected to find a noble member of the Bright Clan here. If I capture you in the outer star battlefield, my clan will surely promote my rank!”

Pseudo Dabu licked his lips, his grin sinister.

Hearing the heavily loaded implications, Situ Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, glinting with a chilling light.

“You’re a spy from the Nine Nether Sect!”

Looking across the entire universe, the only force daring to openly capture members of the Bright Clan was the Nine Nether, opposing the Divine Court.

Because the Nine Nether and the Divine Court couldn’t stand each other, both sought to weaken one another.

“Exactly.”

Pseudo Dabu said with a deep meaning: “Actually, I came this time to reach an agreement with you.”

“Cooperate with me?”

Situ Yan was stunned.

He really hadn’t expected that a spy from the Nine Nether would come knocking to seek cooperation.

Totally caught off guard!

“Hmph, let’s put the cooperation talk aside; if you’re too scared to show your true self, what sincerity do you have to speak?”

Situ Yan’s gaze was filled with hostility.

“Don’t be nervous, I just want you to witness our clan’s transformation technique…”

As he spoke, Pseudo Dabu’s flesh began to wriggle violently, releasing an evil and cold aura.

Eventually, what emerged was a tall, cold-faced man with waist-length black hair, a sickly pale complexion, and blood-red eyes, with a pair of grotesque flesh wings on his back.

If Ye Junlin were present, he would surely exclaim, “Holy crap! Just how hard is it to kill you?!”

Indeed, this person was the Undying Blood Clan member who was killed by Ye Junlin in the Taichu Holy Land!

He was still alive because Ye Junlin had killed his last clone!

As for the main body, it had long been hiding in some distant corner, showing just how cautious Blood Slayer was, leaving only a clone to guard the Taichu Holy Land.

But losing two clones in a row was a massive loss for Blood Slayer, equivalent to losing his left and right arms.

Fortunately, the heavens underwent drastic changes again, and Blood Slayer lurked in the shadows, training and seizing opportunities while sipping the blood of revivers, which greatly accelerated his cultivation.

Now, Blood Slayer was also in the Immortal Emperor realm, just slightly below Situ Yan, with the Immortal Wheel barely reaching the Fifth Grade.

He seemed weaker in various aspects, but with his terrifying Self-Healing Ability, Blood Slayer didn’t think the other could completely suppress him.

Thus, he wanted to gamble, seeking Situ Yan’s cooperation to jointly confront Ye Junlin!

“You’re actually from the Undying Blood Clan…”

Upon recognizing his appearance, Situ Yan’s expression changed, and an uncomfortable chill ran down his spine.

The entire universe knew that the relationship between the Bright Clan and the Undying Blood Clan was even worse than that between the Divine Court and the Nine Nether.

Given this, did the other really dare to approach him for cooperation? Was it confidence or ignorance?
