Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 537

In the sky, a figure in a wide-brimmed hat quickly darted through the clouds, stirring up a roaring gale like a great roc unfurling its wings.

Li Wujie glanced back at the location of the Imperial Palace, feeling a mix of emotions—how could he not reminisce about such a great place for cultivation?

But thankfully, he had paid back this favor by solving a major problem for them!

“Is Tianheng Holy Land really that impressive? Why are they so scared?”

Thinking back to the scene in the Great Hall, Li Wujie frowned, feeling a bit puzzled.

As an outsider, he had been fully focused on his cultivation and naturally knew nothing about what was happening outside or how strong Tianheng Holy Land really was.

Of course, even if he knew that Tianheng Holy Land had three Immortal Sovereigns, he would still dare to take a slash at the guy, no matter the provocation!

Before becoming a disciple, Li Wujie was the type to do whatever he wanted without restriction, believing himself to be the biggest deal in the universe.

Since becoming a disciple, he had changed to a mindset of not needing to regard anyone but his Master.

Just like that, he was willful and arrogant!

One had to admit, the Great Yuan was exceptionally vast, being one of the largest nations left in the Black曜 region among the few existing cultivation empires.

Li Wujie had been flying at full speed for who knows how long before he barely caught sight of the border!

“Damn it, if only I had a mount like Ah Kun, I could just zoom right out of here!”

Li Wujie grumbled.

Ah Kun was the mount of Ye Junlin.

Since they got separated, no one knew where Ah Kun had gone; maybe it was on some wild adventure in the Immortal Realm.

Suddenly.

In the distant sky, a dense cluster of foreign auras was rapidly approaching, among them a particularly terrifying presence!

Li Wujie could sense that the owners of these auras seemed to be heading straight for him, looking unfriendly.

Booming~!!

The sky dimmed, blocking out the sun and moon’s light.

Thousands of massive Immortal Ships entered the fray, gathering an overwhelming aura that made it hard to breathe.

Banners were fluttering, proudly displaying the dark golden characters for “Tianheng”!

Li Wujie stood there floating in the air, facing this massive fleet of warships alone.

Behind him, an expansive Immortal Wheel appeared, his right hand resting on the hilt of his sword, eyes slightly squinting, revealing a flicker of killing intent as he coldly chuckled:

“Looks like they’ve come specifically for me!”

On the lead Immortal Ship.

A white-bearded old man, wearing a loose Dao robe and holding a whisk, was calculating something, his deep-set eyes fixed intensely on Li Wujie. After a moment, he coldly declared:

“It’s you who killed the Saint Son of our Tianheng Holy Land!”

In an instant.

The many Immortal Ships erupted with an overwhelming killing intent, like a storm churning the vast clouds.

On the deck, many Cultivators were furious, feeling a deep sense of humiliation.

After all, Tianheng Holy Land was the sky of the Black曜 region! They were the indisputable overlords of this realm!

When they traveled outside, no one dared disrespect them; they had long grown accustomed to this elevated sense of superiority.

Who would’ve guessed that a renowned Saint Son from such a prestigious establishment was actually killed by some nobody?!

What a unique and profound humiliation this was!

When the life lantern symbolizing Gu Beichen extinguished, Tianheng Holy Land was in uproar, and the higher-ups were collectively enraged. One of the three Immortal Sovereigns, Taibai Xianzun, immediately deciphered the cosmic character and learned that Gu Beichen was killed in the Great Yuan Immortal Dynasty, and the murderer was still there.

Subsequently, to express their seriousness about this matter and showcase the terror of Tianheng Holy Land to the outside world, Taibai Xianzun decided to personally lead the sect’s army to the destination for revenge!

This move was meant to strike fear, to set an example!

After all, with their very own Saint Son dead, if Tianheng Holy Land didn’t take some action, they would surely be looked down upon!

Thus, this trip was not only to kill the murderer but to annihilate the entire Great Yuan to vent their anger!

At this moment.

Taibai Xianzun, having followed the deciphered cosmic mechanisms, smoothly found the murderer, his old face filled with hatred.

“That’s right, I killed that idiot,” Li Wujie said unflappably, with a hint of amusement, “So what, are you all just here to collect the body?”

Hearing this, the Cultivators of Tianheng Holy Land were enraged, their teeth nearly grinding to dust.

They had never encountered someone so utterly arrogant!

Daring to provoke the fury of an entire Holy Land all on his own!

Taibai Xianzun’s face darkened ominously; he could tell Li Wujie was merely at the level of an Immortal Emperor yet dared to act so recklessly. He wondered if there was some backing behind him.

After all, Gu Beichen was the prodigy he placed great hopes upon, the most outstanding figure among the younger generation in the Black曜 region.

And now, he had been slaughtered by some mysterious man, leaving him deeply furious yet profoundly suspicious.

If this guy was backed by someone significant, he would definitely have to weigh his options.

“Which sect are you from? Speak up!” Taibai Xianzun suppressed his killing intent and solemnly asked.

“Hmph, listen well, I’m from the Xuantian Sect!” Li Wujie boldly confessed.

Taibai Xianzun: “…”

Great! I’ve never even heard of that!

Taibai Xianzun was very certain that there wasn’t a major power called the Xuantian Sect in the South Heaven Immortal Domain, as he knew all powers with Immortal Sovereigns like the back of his hand to avoid conflicts.

As for those without Immortal Sovereign powerhouses—

In his eyes, they were nothing worth worrying about!

“You tiny ants dare to be so brazen before me, die!”

Taibai Xianzun no longer held back, his eyes filled with killing intent as he flicked his whisk towards the front where Li Wujie stood.

Whoosh, the snowy white tail of his whisk extended rapidly like a silver dragon soaring, bringing with it a terrifying power that shook the heavens.

“Old man, do you think I’m afraid of you?”

Facing an Immortal Sovereign, Li Wujie showed no fear, even growing unusually excited.

Whoosh!!

In the next moment, he drew his sword and slashed, unmatched Blade Aura tearing through the sky and shattering the space for miles.

Slash, slash, slash……

The dust was obliterated, forced to retract.

“What?!”

Taibai Xianzun was shocked.

He may have been at the bottom of the Immortal Sovereign tier, but he was still an Immortal Sovereign—could a mere Immortal Emperor withstand the power of an Immortal Sovereign?

“Pathetic! Is this all the might an Immortal Sovereign has? You’re embarrassing the title!” Li Wujie said, wielding his ink-black sword with even more confidence, taunting without restraint.

Suddenly.

The crowd of Immortal Ships began to stir.

Many were astonished that Li Wujie could engage with Taibai Xianzun, shattering their previous perceptions.

Logically, even a casual blow from an Immortal Sovereign should be unsurvivable for an Immortal Emperor!

Sensing the turmoil behind him, Taibai Xianzun’s expression turned exceedingly ugly; it was the first time since he became an Immortal Sovereign he faced such a situation.

“Brat, do you think I can’t handle you? I’ll show you what true Immortal Sovereign tactics are!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Taibai Xianzun vanished from the Immortal Ship, reappearing directly opposite Li Wujie, surrounded by a grayish, razor-like energy that held indescribable terrifying power.

This was the law of the Immortal Sovereign!
