Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 550

After all, having witnessed Li Ruotong’s prowess, they never expected her to submit willingly.

Who would have thought she would actually obey that mysterious person?

Yet for some reason, they couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off!

“Everyone, see? I can make her stop attacking you, but only if you cooperate with me,” came a voice dripping with confidence, as if everything was under his control.

Upon hearing this, the group of alien race Immortal Emperors were stirred.

Though they believed they could ultimately defeat Li Ruotong, once it came down to it, who could guarantee their survival?

That was their biggest concern.

Right now, they could not only halt this slaughter but also seize the North Cold Immortal Domain. Why not go for it?

“Alright, we agree to your cooperation,” said Titan King Tai Xi after a moment of contemplation.

Not a single alien race Immortal Emperor opposed this; clearly, everyone was on the same page.

Because if they continued fighting, lives would be at risk!

“Hehe, that’s more like it! Now, please follow me to discuss important matters,” came the voice again, as the speaker ordered Li Ruotong, who immediately complied and decisively turned toward another location.

“What now?”

“Forget it, let’s just follow for now!”

“I’m really curious about what kind of person can subdue such a woman!”

Determined, the eleven alien race Immortal Emperors hurriedly followed, eager to see who had such ability.

“This…”

At this moment, the cultivators from the Creation Domain were still in the dark, anxiously believing the fierce battle was still ongoing, only that Li Ruotong had simply switched battlefields.

SWISH~

In a moment, Li Ruotong arrived at a remote island as instructed.

The soft, golden sandy beach was shaded by lush green trees, the air filled with the scent of the sea.

Under the tree stood a handsome young man in a robe adorned with a peach wood hairpin, hands clasped behind his back, his fox-like eyes filled with a cunning smile, giving off an oddly calculated vibe.

He was none other than the infamous Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign, Bo Chengli!

Just moments ago, while Li Ruotong battled the alien race Immortal Emperors, Bo Chengli seized the opportunity, using the Yin-Yang Absorption Technique to invade their minds and force them into submission.

When he realized he had indeed succeeded in controlling an Immortal Emperor, Bo Chengli felt an unexplainable exhilaration and pride!

It was pure fulfillment!

After all, he was just an Immortal Sovereign, yet he had managed to manipulate an Immortal Emperor!

Who would believe that?

But it was true; he had succeeded!

In an instant.

Bo Chengli felt deeply moved, reminiscing about the years when he was like a rat scurrying in the street, yet now, circumstances had changed, and his biggest enemy had become his marionette.

Haha, how ironic!

Li Ruotong stood before Bo Chengli, her expression dull, moving like a puppet, and with a somewhat stiff gesture, she performed a salute, her voice devoid of emotion, “This humble girl greets the Young Master.”

“Hmm?”

Seeing this, Bo Chengli furrowed his brows; this was quite different from what he had imagined.

Those other women he’d controlled in the past had all been very eager and attentive, practically crawling on all fours to please him.

Why was Li Ruotong behaving completely opposite?

This puzzled Bo Chengli, who was usually filled with self-satisfaction.

But the next moment, he figured out what was wrong.

It was, after all, the difference in cultivation levels. Although she was influenced by his technique, she still couldn’t fully submit to him, creating this awkward situation.

Essentially, it was just that last shred of her reason resisting!

Realizing this, Bo Chengli let out a slight sigh, his eyes revealing a hint of regret, feeling that something was lacking.

For him, every woman he had succeeded in controlling was like a masterpiece; the effect had to be absolutely perfect, but Li Ruotong’s current state was clearly flawed.

But there was nothing to be done. After all, she was an Immortal Emperor!

SWISH SWISH SWISH~

The eleven alien race Immortal Emperors came one after another, their expressions froze upon seeing Bo Chengli; it was unexpected.

What the heck?

This guy turned out to be just an Immortal Sovereign?

“Do you think he’s deliberately hiding his true capabilities?” the Red-Haired Yaksha King asked, suspicion etched on his face as he struggled to keep his voice low.

“Even though I can’t see through it, it’s still a possibility. After all, even that human race Immortal Emperor is willing to obey him!” Titan King Tai Xi solemnly remarked, an intelligent glimmer in his eyes.

“Why ramble on? Let’s just test it out!”

The Squid King Dalai sneered, his imperial might erupting, surging forward toward Bo Chengli.

The other alien race Immortal Emperors followed suit, releasing their grand imperial might to converge upon Bo Chengli in a massive wave.

Imperial might is the signature of Immortal Emperors, and if one wasn’t at the Immortal Emperor level, it was nearly impossible to endure.

They were trying to probe Bo Chengli’s true cultivation.

“What are you waiting for? Quickly defend me!” Bo Chengli’s expression changed as he frantically ordered.

“Yes, Young Master.”

Li Ruotong turned around, unleashing her overwhelming aura, creating an invisible barrier to block the surging imperial might.

Hidden behind her, Bo Chengli relaxed a bit and questioned with a noticeably ugly expression:

“What does this mean, everyone?!”

Without Li Ruotong in front, how could a mere Immortal Sovereign withstand the pressure from eleven Immortal Emperors?

He’d be finished right then and there!

“Impossible, he truly is at the Immortal Sovereign level!” Titan King Tai Xi exclaimed, feeling like he’d just been slapped in the face.

“So this guy managed to control that human race Immortal Emperor. How did he pull that off?”

“No wonder I felt something was off about her; turns out it was due to this!”

“Absolutely incredible; this vast world is full of wonders!”

The eleven alien race Immortal Emperors were taken aback, their gazes towards Bo Chengli shifting again and again.

Cursing inwardly, Bo Chengli smirked:

“Exactly, as you can see, I am not an Immortal Emperor. But does that matter? Right now, I’m giving you a chance to live. You’d best recognize the situation, and adjust your attitudes!”

His words were neither servile nor overbearing, filled with conviction.

As the top person living off women in the Immortal Realm, his confidence undoubtedly came from Li Ruotong.

“You insignificant ant, how dare you speak to us like that? You must want to die!”

The Red-Haired Yaksha King roared angrily, stepping forward, intent on killing Bo Chengli.

The other ten companions felt the same, clearly unhappy with Bo Chengli’s words and actions, for only Immortal Emperors could converse with them.

What was a mere Immortal Sovereign worth?

To dare push back against them?

It felt like a dragon was being toyed with by an ant at its feet. It was hard to accept this.

“Hehe, are you sure you want to make a move on me?” Bo Chengli narrowed his eyes, his tone meaningful.

Li Ruotong, still in a daze, said, “If you mean to harm the Young Master, you’ll have to get through me first.”

As she spoke, she emanated a holy silver radiance, seemingly on the verge of launching an attack.

Feeling the dangerous aura coming from the front, the Red-Haired Yaksha King recalled Li Ruotong’s prior terrifying abilities and immediately refrained from making any rash moves, his anger flaring, “You can only hide behind a woman. What kind of skill is that?!”

Who would’ve thought that remark would bear no weight against Bo Chengli?

Bo Chengli shrugged, a playful smile on his lips, “Well, you’re mistaken. Being protected by a woman is a tremendous skill in itself. Can you do it?”

The Red-Haired Yaksha King fell silent.

Upon careful consideration, this actually made sense, after all, it didn’t have the ability to have a woman of Li Ruotong’s caliber protect it.

Not to mention it had been a tad envious now…

“Kid, you think relying on her will keep you safe? As long as we unite our strength, she can’t guard you alone!” Titan King Tai Xi spoke in a deep voice.

That was the truth.

After all, Li Ruotong would eventually have to fend for herself, and they only needed a little effort to kill Bo Chengli.

“And then? If you kill me, with no one to control her, she will just come after you!”

Bo Chengli showed no fear, sneering, “Come on, come on, kill me! Go on!”

As he spoke, he boldly stepped out from behind Li Ruotong, heading straight toward the eleven alien race Immortal Emperors, looking like a stubborn pig that couldn’t feel the heat.

“You!”

The alien race Immortal Emperors all stared, dumbfounded.

Clearly, Bo Chengli’s words hit them right in the gut.

Because they had agreed to cooperate specifically to avoid continuing the fight.

If they killed Bo Chengli, the uncontrollable Li Ruotong would undoubtedly launch a fierce attack against them, and life and death would be uncertain!

Faced with eleven Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses, Bo Chengli’s heart raced, and cold sweat streamed down his back.

To say he wasn’t afraid would be a lie; he was just desperately maintaining his calm facade.

Fortunately, the effect was spectacular!

After weighing the pros and cons, the alien race Immortal Emperors’ attitudes softened a bit, and they started to regard this daring and skillful fellow with a more respectful eye.

“All that just now was a misunderstanding; there’s no need for you to take it to heart,” one of them, Squid King Dalai, cleared his throat and said, trying to put on a brave face.

“Hehe, let’s get back to business,” Bo Chengli waved his hand, “As you can see, this lady has already been controlled by me, but there’s still a formidable opponent in the North Cold Immortal Domain, powerful enough to rival her!”

Upon hearing this, the alien race Immortal Emperors were shocked, immediately asking, “Who?!!”

Just handling Li Ruotong was enough work, let alone someone presumably stronger than her; they had to figure out who this person was!

Mentioning this individual, Bo Chengli’s eyes flashed with sharpness, his expression grave as he spoke in a low tone:

“He is known as… Ye Tian Emperor!”
