Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 416

Gongzhou.

On one battlefield, two groups of people were fiercely clashing, the shouts echoing deafeningly through the sky.

As the strongest local sect of cultivators, Wendaozong naturally took up the banner of the rebellion, fighting against the alien race’s army until the skies darkened.

Boom, boom, boom~!

The explosive sounds of fists meeting flesh rained down like bullets, sending chills down people’s spines.

One massive beast from the ape clan was spitting blood as it was sent flying, crashing into its comrades, sending them scattering in every direction.

“Damn it, how can this human female be so powerful?” growled a muscular one-eyed ape, his expression dark, grinding his teeth.

That was a girl dressed in a goose-yellow outfit, tall and slender. Her hair was simply tied up, revealing her jade-white ears and neck. Her skin was like fine cream, and her dazzling eyes sparkled with intensity, fist clenched, ready for battle, just like a feisty little leopard.

Behind her appeared nine starry images, radiating brilliant light, making her look like a celestial princess born of the heavens!

Now, An Miaoyi, relying on her Starry Immortal Body and the Nine Turns Star Technique, although her cultivation level wasn’t that of an Immortal King yet, her combat power far surpassed that of one!

In the Eastern Domain, her fame was second only to Xue Wuhen, hailed as the strongest female cultivator apart from the Red Fairy!

This time, with the collective uprising across the fourteen states, various strong figures had jumped in to resist, and under her leadership, Wendaozong joined in the fierce battle against the army of apes right before them.

Previously, the ape clan had been wreaking havoc on the battlefield thanks to the Forbidden Technique Domain with their brute strength, causing countless cultivators to suffer. But at a critical moment, An Miaoyi appeared and instantly turned the tide, overwhelming the group of apes.

She managed to do this because she was a natural body cultivator!

The greatest power of the Starry Immortal Body was that it could fuse the power of the stars into her flesh, continuously tempering her physique, and combined with the Nine Turns Star Technique suited for her physique, her body had become incredibly strong over time.

Seemingly just a delicate girl with thin arms and legs, in reality, she was a ferocious dragoness. Once she got close, it was all about up-close combat, and her advantages would skyrocket!

So now this group of apes should consider themselves unlucky, as An Miaoyi unleashed a seamless series of strikes, leaving them in shambles, crying out in agony!

Facing An Miaoyi’s fierce might, the one-eyed ape felt a chill run down his spine, forehead dripping with cold sweat.

He started pondering how to deal with this human woman.

“An Fairy is so strong, even against those monsters, she doesn’t fall behind at all!”

“Absolutely true, worthy of the title of Goddess of War! She truly deserves it!”

“The sect master is amazing!”

Seeing An Miaoyi’s impressive performance, the cultivators were filled with confidence and morale skyrocketed.

“Miss is getting stronger by the day,” Fan Dezhen marveled.

Recently, that girl had become a complete training fanatic, striving for perfection in every fighting technique, honing it to the extreme.

But deep down, Fan Dezhen knew that the reason for her hard work was to silently chase after Senior Ye.

Even if she could never catch up, he would keep it as his goal to strive forward!

Now, hearing that Senior Ye had made a powerful comeback and was leading a group called the Immortal Alliance against the four alien races, everyone knew that the opportunity had arrived and responded eagerly.

That once fiery feeling was ignited in them once again!

Let’s get this done!

“Bring it on!”

At this moment, An Miaoyi, poised for action, turned into a streak of light, charging into the enemy ranks, her fists shooting out like meteors, blood and flesh flying wherever she went, screams filling the air.

“This crazy woman!”

Seeing their ranks collapsing, the leading one-eyed ape was both furious and anxious.

Suddenly, a wave of alien forces appeared on the battlefield, heading straight for An Miaoyi and the uprising army.

“Not good, it’s the Ghost Eye Clan!!” Fan Dezhen exclaimed.

“No…” The faces of the cultivators turned ashen.

They had heard of the Ghost Eye Clan’s special abilities; they were very terrifying and unsolvable!

“Haha, our reinforcements have arrived!” The one-eyed ape rejoiced.

As soon as he finished speaking, a pale fist filled with boundless power slammed into his face.

Boom~

A muffled explosion sounded.

A headless corpse fell, blood gushing from the severed neck.

“Ghost Eye Clan…”

An Miaoyi’s forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, her chest heaving slightly, her almond eyes fixated on the group from the Ghost Eye Clan who stormed onto the battlefield.

A look of disgust surfaced on her beautiful face.

Unlike the ape clan that relied on physical strength, the ghost eyes could trap targets in illusions, tormenting them within endless surreal realms!

The scariest part was that they could make the target suffer in the illusion for a thousand years while only a second passed in reality!

An Miaoyi knew this all too well because her father, An Zizai, had been subjected to such tortures by a Ghost Eye Clan expert during the oppression of Wendaozong.

She would never forget that day in the Great Hall when her father was tortured to the point of rambling, his mind shattered, while the enemy laughed heartily and left without a care…

Even now, her father sometimes appeared insane, laughing and crying eerily, unable to distinguish reality from illusion.

Which is why the current sect master of Wendaozong was now her.

In this regard, An Miaoyi hated the Ghost Eye Clan deeply while also being extremely wary of their special abilities.

However, the appearance of this Ghost Eye Clan team tilted the scales that should’ve favored them back again.

“Hmph, a bunch of lowly beasts, do you really think you can win?”

The leader, a tall man wearing beast hide clothing with long green hair, spoke.

His eyes were as black as ink, giving off an eerie vibe.

“Don’t look at their eyes!” someone shouted.

Hearing this, many cultivators hastily closed their eyes, opting to use divine sense to probe their surroundings.

But,

The green-haired man sneered: “How ridiculous, do you think that will work? Our Ghost Eye Clan’s eye technique can trap any target who sees it in illusions!”

With that, he activated the eye technique.

His black eyes erupted with a strange glow, constantly sweeping over the cultivators present.

In an instant, anyone who was seen by him appeared soulless, lost in the fabricated illusions.

“Ah, ah, ah, ah…”

Soon, terrified screams erupted, many faces contorted in pain, dropping to the ground, convulsing madly, frothing at the mouth.

Clearly, in the illusions, they were undergoing torment like never before, and this pain feedbacked back into reality, leaving them tortured both physically and mentally.

“Quick, cover your eyes!”

Fan Dezhen shouted angrily, raising his sleeve to conjure a brown light curtain, blocking the view ahead.

The others hurriedly followed suit, trying to shield themselves from the Ghost Eye Clan’s eye technique.

The green-haired man mockingly said: “What a joke, the eye technique granted by the guardian spirit of my clan cannot be defeated by such petty tricks!”

Then, with veins bulging on his forehead, he glared fiercely, intensifying the power of the eye technique.

In a formless manner, ghostly black-eyed shadows infiltrated the area around Fan Dezhen and the others.

“What?!”

At that moment, everyone was thrown into chaos, soon being drawn into illusions, faces twisted in agony, drenched in cold sweat from pain.

“Ah…”

Crying out in despair echoed across the battlefield.

How terrifying.

Just one green-haired man had caused the entire uprising army to collapse, defeating them as easily as a landslide.

This was the horror of the Ghost Eye Clan!

The green-haired man was sweating profusely, blood trickling from his eyes, and spoke in a deep tone:

“Capture them all, take them back to dig for ore, and don’t stop until they’ve died!”

It was clear that overusing the eye technique was damaging his eyes as well.

“Understood!”

His subordinates grinned menacingly and charged at Fan Dezhen and the others.

“You won’t get away with this!”

A fierce shout rang out.

Suddenly, An Miaoyi, concealed in the void, burst forth, bearing the starry images, her momentum exceedingly strong, her fists exploding with immense light, striking like a soaring dragon.

Caught off guard, the first wave from the Ghost Eye Clan was obliterated by her overwhelming starry fist power.

“Die!” An Miaoyi pushed herself to the limit, wanting to take them out in one fell swoop.

One must say, An Miaoyi was incredibly bold, hiding her form in advance to catch the enemy off guard, then seizing the moment to strike, aiming for an unexpected victory!

Without relying on the eye technique, the Ghost Eye Clan’s combat strength was subpar; when faced with a powerhouse like An Miaoyi, they would be easily overwhelmed.

“A bunch of trash!”

The green-haired man, shocked and furious, activated his eye technique again, attempting to lock onto that woman without missing a beat.

“Not good!”

An Miaoyi felt a strong warning and realized she was about to fall into the illusion.

Just then, an obscure and complex incantation resonated from the horizon, filled with grand, profound power.

As that mysterious chanting rang out, all those trapped in illusions were forcibly pulled back, their minds gradually waking up.

“I—wasn’t I just being shot by countless arrows?” Fan Dezhen stood up drenched in cold sweat, still shaken, his expression dazed.

Alongside him, many cultivators were similarly dazed, having just been pulled from the illusions.

In those illusions, they had endured thousands or even tens of thousands of years, their bodies and minds tortured, making them numb.

However, upon hearing the incantation, Fan Dezhen and the others gradually recovered, as if their wounded spirits had found solace.

“What just happened?!”

The sudden turn of events shocked the green-haired man.

The one reciting the incantation was a woman dressed in a plain skirt, exuding an otherworldly aura.

Qin Ruyan stood with one hand raised in a gesture, chanting softly, a three flowers gathering at her crown, surrounded by a mysterious purple aura.

“That fairy saved us!” the crowd exclaimed in awe.

An Miaoyi, not caring for her astonishment, seized the opportunity and began a massacre among the enemy ranks.

“Ah…” Deprived of the effects of the eye technique, the Ghost Eye Clan fell like lambs at her hands, nearly wiped out in the blink of an eye.

The green-haired man couldn’t accept this reality, breaking down as he shouted, “Impossible, this can’t be happening!”

He couldn’t believe that the survival technique of the Ghost Eye Clan was defeated today by a woman’s incantation.

“There is nothing impossible!” An Miaoyi dashed forward, with a cold face, delivering a fierce punch that swept through everything.

“No…” The green-haired man’s terrified eyes witnessed his body being torn apart by the force of her punch, dissipating into a cloud of blood mist.

The battle came to a close.
