Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 392

“Why are you dawdling? Hurry up!” Situ Yan urged impatiently.

Am I supposed to bleed myself?

What good would that do you?

“Oh…”

Dabu was feeling gloomy. Even though he was deeply reluctant, he had no choice but to comply with Situ Yan’s authority.

The master had spoken—how could a bodyguard defy that?

“Situ, what do you mean by this? Are you just brushing me off?” Blood Slayer said coldly, his face somber.

Situ Yan’s stance was firm. “This is my final bottom line! Besides, my bodyguard’s rank in the clan is only second to me as a direct descendant. Don’t you dare be ungrateful!”

“Exactly, am I not good enough?” Seeing Blood Slayer’s disappointed expression made Dabu’s temper flare, feeling it was a personal insult to his status.

After all, he was wearing a silver halo, which made him only a tier below those with golden halos, giving him significant power within the Bright Clan.

Blood Slayer pondered for a moment, realizing the stakes involved, and reluctantly chose to compromise.

“Fine, then I’ll just take your blood!”

Dabu hesitantly cut open his wrist, and silver blood began to float out, radiating a brilliant glow, very strange indeed.

Blood Slayer’s eyes glinted with greed as he drank it down, his throat bulging, his complexion quickly improving, looking revitalized.

“It’s so delicious…”

Blood Slayer had a satisfied expression, seemingly relishing the moment.

Even though there was a little regret, settling for second best still turned out to be quite a delightful experience.

“You Undying Blood Clan are truly the most disgusting dark beings!” Dabu said resentfully.

Even though he was forced into this situation, offering blood to such a monster felt like a disgrace no matter how he looked at it.

“Heh, say what you want.”

Having satisfied his desires, Blood Slayer calmed down. He didn’t show any anger towards Dabu’s verbal jabs, instead sporting a smirk as if his scheme had succeeded.

This expression made Dabu angrier than ever.

Situ Yan frowned. Although he truly disliked Blood Slayer, there was no option but to endure for now.

Sometimes, one must swallow their anger for the greater plan, everything has to focus on the bigger picture!

Boom~

Inside the crimson cage, red lightning intertwined wildly as a powerful dragon man figure launched a furious assault.

At this moment, Long Ao Tian was doing everything he could to break the blood-red cage; every move was packed with overwhelming power.

“Break for me! Break aaah!”

His thunderous roar shook the heavens, filled with pure rage.

Long Ao Tian’s black hair whipped around wildly, lost in a frenzy. The power he released far surpassed when he fought Ye Junlin.

Yet, no matter how hard he tried, the blood-red cage remained rock solid.

Blood Slayer chuckled, “Don’t waste your effort. Even beings of Immortal Sovereign level can’t break the Dark Blood Ring’s confinement!”

“Then I’ll show you!”

Long Ao Tian transformed back into a dark golden giant dragon, terrifying red electric light bursting from his eyes. He opened his abyss-like mouth and began gathering a comet-like dark red orb of energy.

The surface of the dark red orb was interwoven with countless lightning bolts, exuding a horrifying aura of destruction.

This was Long Ao Tian’s second divine ability, Dragon Breath Fury!

When unleashed in extreme anger, it could achieve maximum power!

Since this move required charge time, he hadn’t had the chance to use it back when he fought Ye Junlin.

Now, trapped as he was, Long Ao Tian finally had enough time to unleash this super killer move!

In an instant.

The dark red thunder energy orb released an unparalleled wave of devastating energy.

Boom——!!!

A force of destruction surged, making the entire blood-red cage tremble violently.

“This…”

Blood Slayer was startled, his eyes showing disbelief.

It was hard to imagine this was power that a being of Immortal Emperor level could unleash?

This attack’s sheer terror could directly wipe out an ordinary Immortal Sovereign!

If it hit him head-on, he’d be vaporized on the spot, not even a shred of flesh remaining!

Situ Yan felt his scalp tingle and asked suspiciously, “Hey, are you sure you can hold this monster?”

“I, I should be able to…” Blood Slayer’s expression was unnatural, clearly lacking confidence.

Long Ao Tian’s immense strength at the level of Immortal Emperor far exceeded his comprehension and expectations.

In some ways, calling him an Immortal Sovereign wouldn’t be an exaggeration!!

Swish~

Inside the dim blood-red cage, the destructive light orb gradually faded away as the massive dark golden dragon transformed back into a human form.

Long Ao Tian was emitting smoke, sweat cascading down his face, heavy breathing giving away the fatigue of hitting his peak.

Upon seeing this scene, Situ Yan and the others finally let out a sigh of relief.

If that monstrous dragon managed to break free, they’d all be on the run immediately.

Fortunately, the plan had started off relatively smoothly!

A narrow escape!

Long Ao Tian wore a grim expression, not expecting to be trapped in this manner.

He also recognized Blood Slayer’s identity as a member of the Undying Blood Clan from outside the realm, fully aware of how sinister their tactics could be.

“Hah, the self-righteous Bright Clan, who would have thought you’d stoop so low to ally with disgusting dark beings like the Undying Blood Clan. You really are opening my eyes.”

His words dripped with sarcasm and disdain.

Situ Yan suppressed his anger, trying to appear unconcerned, smirking, “In special circumstances, we must adapt. Long Ao Tian, you can talk about that once you’re free.”

Blood Slayer spoke in a deep voice, “Your abilities truly impress me, but unfortunately, with our clan’s treasures guarding this place, you won’t be getting out anytime soon.”

Long Ao Tian stood tall, hands behind his back, eyes looking down on them as if they were vermin.

“You’ve gone to such lengths to trap me. What exactly is your goal? Just know that once I recover to my peak, this cage will be broken sooner or later!”

His tone oozed confidence.

After all, he was only at the Immortal Emperor Seventh Layer; once he reached the Immortal Emperor Ninth Layer, that would be a different level altogether.

Whatever the realm, the Ninth Layer represented the culmination, and his strength wouldn’t just multiply a few times.

Deep down, Long Ao Tian vowed that once he broke out of this cage, he would make sure to take revenge on Situ Yan and the others!

“Heh, just watch.”

The moment he finished speaking, Blood Slayer quickly transformed his appearance until he looked exactly like Long Ao Tian.

The fake Long Ao Tian wore a mischievous grin.

“You…”

Seeing this, Long Ao Tian instantly lost his composure. It was clear Blood Slayer was planning to use his identity for some underhanded scheme!

“Don’t worry, I’ll act as you and kick off the slaughter.”

Blood Slayer’s face was full of hidden meaning; although his disguise looked identical to Long Ao Tian, his aura couldn’t be mimicked, always carrying a sinister vibe.

Long Ao Tian’s eyes darted as he suddenly thought of someone and sneered, “With Ye Junlin in charge, how could you lowly vermin stir up any storms? Stop dreaming!”

Situ Yan sneered,

“You little bug, do you really think we can’t deal with Ye Tian Emperor? I have a little something that can temporarily drain the power of any strong opponent. Even if Ye Tian Emperor is powerful, without his strength, how long do you think he can withstand a few hits from me?”

“What?!”

Long Ao Tian’s pupils contracted sharply, a chill running down his spine as he began to dreadfully think.

Connecting today’s events with this information, Long Ao Tian quickly realized that a trap aimed at Ye Junlin was silently being set up.

And this was just the beginning!

Seeing the ever-arrogant Long Ao Tian now in such an anxious state excited Situ Yan like nothing else.

It felt like a grand villain finally being slapped down!

Wait a minute.

Shouldn’t I be the villain here?
