Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 546

造化大域。

李家。

月宫之内。

At this moment, a stunning woman with snow-white skin and a cold aura looked at the jade slip in her hand, which still hadn’t responded, her eyes filled with deep anger.

“What the hell? How many times has it been? Why is the Immortal Court still unwilling to decide on the North Cold Immortal Lord candidate?”

Li Ruotong furrowed her brow tightly.

She had indeed wanted to become the North Cold Immortal Lord, but after a brief encounter with Ye Junlin, she changed her mind.

After all, what qualifications did she have to compete for this position against such a character?

In Li Ruotong’s view, someone like Ye Junlin, with unfathomable cultivation and a deep background, was the only choice to serve as the North Cold Immortal Lord!

Not to mention, her Immortal Emperor Artifact was gifted by him!

She knew well the saying “eat a man’s food shortens his hand,” so she had no face to contest for this position anymore.

Immediately, she appealed to the Immortal Court, hoping to have them confer the title of North Cold Immortal Lord to Ye Junlin.

Because once he became the North Cold Immortal Lord, he would gain access to the Nine-Grade Dao Formation, better protecting the beings of the North Cold Immortal Domain.

But strangely, every time she sent out news, it sank like a stone into the sea, with no response!

This left Li Ruotong both puzzled and furious!

She even suspected that there was a traitor within the Immortal Court sabotaging her messages.

“Damn it, who could be so shameless as to trip me up in secret?!”

The more she thought, the angrier she got, planning to visit the Middle Earth Immortal Domain’s Immortal Court personally to get to the bottom of this.

Actually, her suspicions were not without merit; there truly was a hidden hand at play, and that person was Yuhua Sheng!

Yuhua Sheng, feeling guilty and holding a grudge against Ye Junlin due to a certain matter, used his power to intercept Li Ruotong’s messages, preventing them from reaching the Immortal Court’s highest authorities…

Just as Li Ruotong was seething, urgent shouts rang out from outside.

“Ancestor, Ancestor! Not good!”

Hearing this, Li Ruotong’s face darkened, and she quickly rushed outside the Moon Palace to look down at her clansmen, coldly reprimanding, “What a mess, you’re all in such a panic! What’s going on? Speak!”

The current family master of the Li family, accompanied by several elders, looked alarmed and said, “Reporting to the Ancestor, something big has happened! Not long ago, a riot broke out at the Taihang Forbidden Mountain’s Demon Cave, and countless extraterrestrial demons invaded the North Cold Immortal Domain! They’ve reportedly taken over hundreds of domains, and a group of these demons is heading straight for our Vast and Noble Domain; they’re likely going to arrive soon!”

Upon hearing this, Li Ruotong’s expression drastically changed, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief. “What did you say?!”

In that moment, her heart felt like it was tossed in a storm.

She had thought the Demon Cave had been sealed off years ago, preventing extraterrestrial demons from breaking in again, but it seemed that day had finally come.

“This is too sudden! Is it just the North Cold Immortal Domain, or are the other three Demon Caves experiencing the same thing?”

Li Ruotong frowned, vaguely sensing a hint of conspiracy.

Never mind, the priority now was to quickly stop the invasion of the extraterrestrial demons!

Boom boom boom…

Suddenly, the entire Vast and Noble Domain trembled, an overwhelming pressure surged in like a tidal wave from the outside.

A large group of Nightsha Clan cultivators, wielding tridents and flapping their wings, stormed into the Vast and Noble Domain with a fearsome aura.

Watching the terrified Human Race below, their ugly faces filled with deep cruelty, red eyes like beasts, bloodthirsty as ever!

Seeing this, the family master and the elders felt their scalps go numb, trembling as they said, “Ancestor, they’ve come…”

Faced with this sudden attack from the Nightsha Clan army, the cultivators of the Vast and Noble Domain were in a state of panic.

The Nightsha cultivators inside were all quite powerful, their cultivation levels at least at the Immortal King realm, with several leading Immortal Sovereigns among them. Combined with the Nightsha Clan’s unique battle formations, they unleashed formidable power, crushing everything in their path.

“Ah…”

Screams echoed as blood flowed like a river.

“Submit, or die!”

A Nightsha Clan powerhouse at the Earl level, holding a silver trident, shot cold light from his eyes, exuding an Immortal Sovereign-level aura, looking down on everyone disdainfully.

“Our Human Race would rather die than submit!” a middle-aged scholar with a noble aura shouted, holding a long bronze ruler.

“Hmph, then die!”

The Nightsha powerhouse roared, raising his trident high; it burst forth with dazzling silver light as he aimed to deliver a deadly blow to the middle-aged scholar.

Though both were at the Immortal Sovereign realm, he was confident in being stronger than this insufferable scholar!

“Let’s see who dares to act rashly!!!”

At that moment, a cold and majestic female voice resonated through the heavens and earth, quickly spreading an endless imperial might that soon enveloped the entire Vast and Noble Domain.

“This, this is the aura of an Immortal Emperor!”

All Nightsha Clan cultivators in the Vast and Noble Domain felt the overwhelming imperial pressure, their previously arrogant demeanor immediately vanishing, replaced by profound fear.

According to the King’s intelligence, it was said that the North Cold Immortal Domain had no Immortal Emperor, right?

What’s going on now?!

They’re messing with us!

“N-no, please don’t!” the Immortal Sovereign-level Nightsha powerhouse suddenly felt a terrifying force surging towards him, screaming in fright.

Bang!

His entire body exploded suddenly, turning into a spray of blood, his divine soul extinguished.

In the vast sky.

A bright, full moon slowly emerged.

A woman with a goddess-like cold demeanor, looking like she was made of frost, stepped out, radiating a powerful sense of oppression. The moon, resembling a jade plate, swiftly shrunk until it hung behind her head, her delicate form shrouded in hazy moonlight, holy and unparalleled.

“Look, it’s the Celestial Moon Emperor!”

The other cultivators’ eyes lit up, shouting with great excitement.

“This is bad! There really is an Immortal Emperor here; we need to retreat!” Many Nightsha warriors, their scalps tingling and bodies chilled to the bone, panicked.

Even if they were the strongest black army under the King’s command, they couldn’t withstand the terrifying methods of an Immortal Emperor.

After all, beneath an Immortal Emperor, everyone else is an ant!

“Thinking of escaping? Everyone, die!”

Li Ruotong’s eyes glinted coldly, her killing intent peaking.

With a wave of her hand, torrents of moonlight power surged forth, targeting the Nightsha Clan cultivators in a focused attack.

“Ah ah ah…”

The shrill cries rang out from all directions.

This group of Nightsha cultivators hadn’t even had the chance to escape before they were systematically exterminated by the descending moonlight power, including several powerful Immortal Sovereigns.

In an instant, rivers of blood flowed!

Witnessing this scene, the cultivators of the Vast and Noble Domain cheered, joy filling the air as they celebrated.

The lost confidence returned, and morale surged dramatically.

This is the confidence that an Immortal Emperor brings!

After all, why is an Immortal Emperor said to have the strongest foundation?

The answer is simple: they possess absolute power to dominate the battlefield!

“Ancestor’s might!”

The Li family members watched as Li Ruotong displayed her divine prowess, filled with immense pride as they cheered excitedly.

“King, save us!”

The remaining Nightsha cultivators cried out in despair, only to be wiped out by the moonlight power.

Having completed all this, Li Ruotong frowned, feeling a slight unease.

Could the “King” they mentioned be…

However, she didn’t have time to think more on it.

Boom boom boom~!!!

远方，骤然有亿万道恐怖的惊雷声响起，红色和黑色的闪电在交织不断，营造出一副极其骇人的景象。

In an instant, five tall, grotesque figures, wielding tridents and brimming with ferocious energy, flapped their green flesh wings, transforming into five dazzling streaks of light as they flew over at lightning speed.

The majestic imperial might they radiated quickly enveloped the entire Vast and Noble Domain.

Suddenly, the cheers fell into silence, and the Vast and Noble Domain was engulfed in an eerie stillness.

Countless cultivators looked horrified, gazing at those five terrifying figures brimming with imperial might in the sky, nearly suffocating from fear.

Immortal Emperors—these were Immortal Emperors!

Many hearts screamed wildly, their bodies freezing to the bone as if they had fallen into an abyss.

“My black army has been slaughtered?!”

A Nightsha King, clad in pitch-black armor and wearing a royal helmet, turned pale upon sensing the loss of his subordinates.

“It’s no wonder I sensed the aura of an Immortal Emperor earlier; it turns out there’s a Human Race Immortal Emperor stationed here!” another stout Nightsha King said in a low voice.

“It seems this intel is incorrect after all.” A red-haired Nightsha King fixed his eyes on Li Ruotong, sneering, “In that case, let’s just kill her to vent our anger!”

“Hehe, look at this tender skin; I’m going to devour her alive!”

“You can’t monopolize her, there’s enough for everyone!”

“That goes without saying!”

The five Nightsha Kings exchanged sinister dialogue, exuding malevolence in their words.

Though surprised by the appearance of an Immortal Emperor in the North Cold Immortal Domain, they didn’t take it too seriously, as they believed Li Ruotong’s cultivation was still shallow and that she was no match for their combined strength.

After all, unlike Li Ruotong, who was at the first level of the Immortal Emperor realm, all five of them were at the fifth level—killing a mere first-level Immortal Emperor was, of course, a piece of cake!
