Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 539

As one of the top powers in the Black Obsidian Domain, every move they make is naturally under scrutiny.

So, when Taibai Xianzun personally led the sect’s army, storming toward the Great Yuan Immortal Dynasty with great fanfare, it already sent shockwaves through the outside world.

Countless powerful beings were scared stiff, bewildered as to why Tianheng Holy Land would make such a grand display—clearly, it was a march to accuse the Great Yuan of wrongdoing.

Everyone thought the Great Yuan was about to be annihilated, destined to vanish into the vast river of history, but then a shocking news broke, like a storm sweeping through the Black Obsidian Domain, leaving all cultivators in utter disbelief!

The army of Tianheng Holy Land, led by Taibai Xianzun, was completely wiped out on the territory of the Great Yuan!

Instantly, the uninformed masses began to chatter away, and the entire Black Obsidian Domain plunged into controversy.

“Damn it! I just came out of seclusion and the world’s turned upside down? When did the Great Yuan get this strong?”

“I remember the Great Yuan hadn’t even produced an Immortal Sovereign yet, how could they take down Taibai Xianzun from Tianheng Holy Land?”

“Is the Great Yuan about to turn the tables? They’ve got the guts to formally challenge Tianheng Holy Land now!”

“Word has it this whole mess started because Gu Shengzi from Tianheng Holy Land went to the Great Yuan Imperial Palace to stir up trouble and ended up getting killed.”

“Haha, serves him right! I’ve disliked the people from Tianheng Holy Land for ages, acting all high and mighty while they’re just annoying! Finally, some power can put them in their place!”

…

Countless cultivators were ecstatic, loudly applauding, both shocked and thrilled that the Great Yuan could achieve such a feat.

For a long time, Tianheng Holy Land had been riding high, and their status in the Black Obsidian Domain was unshakeable.

After all, which faction had three Immortal Sovereigns at once? This allowed Tianheng Holy Land to dominate this realm effortlessly!

In fact, nearly seventy percent of the cultivation resources in the Black Obsidian Domain were monopolized by Tianheng Holy Land!

This led many local cultivators to harbor deep grievances, cursing Tianheng Holy Land’s unscrupulous methods behind their backs.

But what could they do? After all, they were the super overlords, and it was either join them in their misdeeds or keep their heads down and move away.

Now.

Seeing Tianheng Holy Land suffer a major setback at the hands of another power, everyone was absolutely thrilled!

Meanwhile, the status of the Great Yuan Immortal Dynasty was also on the rise, becoming an equal contender against Tianheng Holy Land.

At this moment.

On the Red Earth Plateau, a heart-wrenching wail echoed.

A giant unicorn bear, covered in red immortal patterns, crashed to the ground, its eyes wide open filled with regret and despair. A ghastly sword wound marred its chest, blood gushing out and boiling hot.

Before it stood a Hat Man, holding a knife, shaking his head, “Why bother…”

Ever since wiping out the forces of Tianheng Holy Land, Li Wujie had been heading north.

His goal was simple: he wanted to find his Master in the North Cold Immortal Domain!

It was just a long journey, and he had barely reached the edge of the Black Obsidian Domain.

Though progress was slow, Li Wujie took it all as part of his personal cultivation journey.

Just a moment ago, he had encountered a fierce beast blocking his path, which tried to swallow him whole, but he had countered with a single slash and killed it instead.

“Forget it, let’s eat some meat first.”

On a whim, Li Wujie chopped off the bear’s paw, then skillfully set up a pot, boiling water, and tossed the paw into the big black pot.

Before long, the aroma of meat wafted through the air.

Li Wujie cut off a small piece and popped it into his mouth, slowly chewing, his brows furrowing into a frown.

“This taste is nothing compared to what Sister Bai makes. Sigh, it’s another day missing her cooking!”

Previously, in the team, Bai Xiaoxi took on the role of cook, making any ingredient delicious and leaving everyone wanting more.

Now, even top-quality ingredients were wasted on him, failing to bring out their full flavor.

As Li Wujie sighed internally, just as he was about to settle for mediocre, a deafening rumble echoed from the sky!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the next second, two terrifying auras descended like divine punishment, causing the vast Red Earth Plateau to tremble and dust to swirl everywhere.

Instantly, every creature, great or small, was left quaking in fear, crying out in despair.

Li Wujie spat out the meat in his mouth, narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp as a blade, looking out.

Two powerful figures strode toward him, their imposing presence sweeping through like a storm.

Endless killing intent locked onto Li Wujie!

“Who are you two…?”

Li Wujie raised an eyebrow, testing the waters.

“Don’t play dumb with me! You just killed someone from my Tianheng Holy Land!”

Lei Ji Xianzun, a towering figure, glared fiercely, his eyes filled with blue lightning, radiating power as his voice boomed like a great bell.

“Hmph, you look like you were planning to escape the Black Obsidian Domain. Do you think we’ll let you?”

The speaker was a plump man in a deep yellow robe, his small eyes narrowed, sporting a red mark on his forehead. Though his face looked jolly, there was an unspoken malignancy about him.

He was Duobao Xianzun, ranked second in Tianheng Holy Land.

Notably, the recently deceased Taibai Xianzun was the weakest among the three of them!

Upon hearing this.

Li Wujie immediately understood what was happening, promptly pointing his knife and raising his chin, wearing a defiant expression:

“Escape? Hell no! If I knew Tianheng Holy Land still had you two losers, I would’ve come over and slaughtered you all already!”

His tone was unbelievably arrogant, without a shred of fear.

“What did you say?!”

Lei Ji Xianzun was infuriated, his body erupting with surges of thunderous light, piercing the vast sky, conjuring terrifying storm clouds for miles.

“You’re being terribly arrogant, show your true cultivation level already, stop pretending!” Duobao Xianzun’s pea-sized eyes fixed on the Hat Man, his voice icy.

Even now, he believed Li Wujie was hiding his actual cultivation level, thinking he was just an Immortal Sovereign disguised as an Immortal Emperor.

After all, in his mind, the only ones who could kill Immortal Sovereigns were other Immortal Sovereigns.

As for Immortal Emperors? That was absolutely impossible!

“You must be blind, I am indeed an Immortal Emperor!” Li Wujie cursed.

“Ridiculous! If you’re really an Immortal Emperor, then I must be an Immortal Emperor!” Duobao Xianzun laughed coldly.

Li Wujie regarded him as if looking at a fool, heavily spitting out two words: “Fool!!”

Duobao Xianzun was taken aback, then immediately burst with rage,

“How dare you insult me like that?”

As he spoke, he burst forth with a dazzling display of treasures, a variety of magical treasures floating around him, all of them Immortal Sovereign artifacts, perfectly illustrating the meaning of his title.

“Die!”

With precise control over his thoughts, Duobao Xianzun commanded all his magical treasures to attack.

They generated fierce gales, spewed fiery dragons, and shot out streams of blue immortal light. In short, the array of attacks was dazzling and overwhelming.

Faced with the onslaught of magical treasures, Li Wujie could feel significant pressure.

This pressure was far greater than he had felt against Taibai Xianzun earlier!

“Ten Thousand Blades Return to Origin!”

Li Wujie held his breath and focused as he unleashed this killer move.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the shockwave of the attack, mountains collapsed, and the energy winds wreaked havoc, as if the Red Earth Plateau itself was trembling.

Seeing the onslaught halted, Duobao Xianzun felt his face flush with embarrassment, hastily saying, “Quick, step in, this guy’s trouble!”

“Don’t think I need you to remind me!” Lei Ji Xianzun’s face was fierce, filled with raging lightning, as if he had transformed into a terrifying lightning sun illuminating the world.

Swish!

A blue beam, surrounded by millions of thunderbolts, shot toward Li Wujie with annihilating energy.

The ferocity was absolutely terrifying!

In an instant.

Li Wujie’s pressure doubled, veins bulging on his forehead, gritting his teeth, his body constantly retreating, struggling to withstand the attack.

After all, no matter how strong he was, he was still merely an Immortal Emperor.

While Duobao Xianzun was in the realm of third-stage Immortal Sovereign, Lei Ji Xianzun was at the fifth stage. Together, their combined force meant that if he could hold on for even a moment, it would be a miracle!

“Is this guy actually an Immortal Emperor?” Duobao Xianzun’s expression showed shock.

If news of someone at the Immortal Emperor level being able to contend against two Immortal Sovereigns spread, how many would actually believe it?

“This kid’s too terrifying; he must not be allowed to live!” Lei Ji Xianzun felt his heart race, increasing his output.

“Damn it…” Li Wujie’s teeth were nearly ground to dust, his bones creaking under the strain as fresh blood seeped from his skin.

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed across the Red Earth Plateau, and a mushroom cloud that resembled a nuclear explosion suddenly arose.

Many local beings could not escape this disaster, with the weaker ones directly killed by the shockwave.

After a long while, once the clouds of dust dissipated, a colossal pit came into view, with hot steam rising from it.

Duobao Xianzun exhaled deeply, grinning maniacally, “I have to say, killing such a peak genius is truly exhilarating.”

Li Wujie was the strongest genius he had seen in his life; compared to this level of existence, the Saint Son chosen by Tianheng Holy Land was just a pile of dog crap!

But thankfully, the opponent had been squashed before even getting started!

“No matter his background, anyone who dares to mess with Tianheng Holy Land must die!” Lei Ji Xianzun stated coldly.

Having killed the culprit, he planned to push on to annihilate the Great Yuan Immortal Dynasty, especially since recently many ignorant cultivators had used their attacks against Tianheng Holy Land, infuriating him greatly.

Boom!

Suddenly.

From the depths of the colossal pit, a terrifying aura surged forth, filled with brutality, ferocity, rage, and hysterical negativity.

The sky darkened, and the atmosphere turned oppressive.

“What’s happening? Is he still alive?!”

Both Lei Ji Xianzun and Duobao Xianzun felt a jolt of fear, their hairs standing on end, an ominous premonition surfacing in their hearts.

Swish!

Then, a terrifying figure, shrouded in billions of strands of demonic energy, with wild black hair and a dark long knife, appeared, his blood-red eyes gazing down at the two men, his face twisted and fearsome.

In his moment of desperation, pushed to the brink of death, Li Wujie chose to unleash his berserk bloodline, deciding to fight to the end!

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

At this moment, thoughts of slaughter filled Li Wujie’s mind, his numerous wounds healing at an incredible speed, the demonic energy emanating from him vast and boundless, blotting out the entire sky.

“This, this is madness?” Duobao Xianzun’s expression turned astonished, but quickly realized something was amiss, as the traits displayed by Li Wujie were not that simple of madness.
