Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 553

At the same time.

On the other side, the wilderness region was a complete wreck.

Smoke billowed from all directions, and the flames of war raged high, resembling a catastrophe that could bring about the end of the world.

Every sect, celestial dynasty, and family had sent out their forces to resist the invasion from foreign realms.

Countless human cultivators rose up to fight, bearing the determination to die and battling against the alien armies.

There were heavy casualties everywhere; the battles were extremely brutal!

During this time, cities were slaughtered completely, numerous sects and nations faced annihilation…

It was a river of blood, with beings suffering terribly!

“They killed my wife and children, slaughtered my kin; I’m going to fight to the death against you, filthy foreign demons!”

A blood-soaked middle-aged man, wielding a longsword, looked up at the countless Yaksha beings in the sky, losing control of his emotions as he roared, tears streaming down his face, his eyes filled with deep hatred.

He was the master of the local undying family, once influential and respected.

But not long ago, when the foreign races invaded, he had to lead the family’s cultivators in desperate resistance. However, the enemy was too strong, and one by one, his kin sacrificed themselves, leaving only him, the family master, to hold on.

Surrounded by the corpses of the elderly, women, and children, including the remains of his wife and children, this middle-aged man lost all sense of rationality in his extreme grief.

At that moment, he brandished his three-foot green blade, glaring at the alien figures in the sky, and charged forward with a roar.

After a brief but fierce battle, the middle-aged man radiated dazzling immortal light, his body cracking like porcelain, exuding wisps of annihilation aura.

“Not good, this human is going to self-destruct!”

Seeing the terrified faces of the Yaksha beings around him, a mad grin appeared on the middle-aged man’s face, his laughter tinged with sorrow and hysteria, “You all go die! You monstrous creatures!”

Boom boom boom~

The master of the undying family self-destructed in anger, the explosion’s power extraordinarily frightening, instantly taking many Yaksha warriors with him.

After the blazing light faded, only ruins remained.

Yet, this battered Yaksha squad quickly regrouped and continued on to their next target.

Such tragic scenes were happening everywhere in this wilderness region.

Inside a dilapidated imperial palace, a fully armed Earth Demon army stood outside the hall, exuding murderous intent.

The armored leader, wielding a giant hammer, glared ruthlessly at the group of resilient ministers kneeling in a row, smashing them into meat paste one by one in a gruesome display.

“You foreign demons will never make our Dali bow down!” The only remaining minister didn’t seem scared; instead, he glared fiercely at the Earth Demon warrior before him, roaring like a madman.

Then, he looked towards a yellow-robed, frail old man, aged and weeping, who was being trampled, and shouted:

“Your Majesty, I haven’t disgraced you, I haven’t brought shame to our Dali or our human race!!!”

Upon hearing this, the little leader’s face turned furious, and he swung his hammer down with a growl, “You damn little bug!”

Bang!

With a heavy blow, the minister was reduced to a bloody pulp.

Seeing this, the Emperor’s face turned ashen.

This Earth Demon clan excelled in underground tactics, stealthy and powerful, defeating Dali’s elite cavalry, leading to the current humiliating situation.

“Old man, do you submit or not? As long as you bow to my clan, you can still be the ruler of this country!”

“Otherwise, die!”

The little leader threatened, gripping a heavy war hammer stained with the blood and remains of earlier victims, emanating a strong, nauseating odor.

“Even my ministers are not afraid of death; what do I have to fear?”

“Do it.”

To everyone’s surprise, the Emperor sighed, closed his eyes, and paid no mind to the leader’s threats.

“Fine, if no one is afraid of death, then let me fulfill you!!!” The little leader, enraged, swung his hammer down, and the defiant Dali Emperor fell dead on the spot, blood gushing out.

At the same time.

On a battlefield newly carved out, countless human powerhouses clashed with alien armies.

The sounds of killing reverberated, and war drums beat resoundingly.

This place gathered the strongest forces from the wilderness region, all participating local cultivators at least at the Immortal Sovereign level, with Immortal Kings and Emperors commonplace.

“Foreign demons, get out of our homeland!!”

A certain genius from a major sect shouted with red eyes, full of fury.

Following this, the genius, dragging his injured body, charged into the enemy’s encirclement, exploding his own immortal source with a roar, forcing a breakthrough for his companions.

“Senior Brother!”

Witnessing this tragic scene, his junior disciples were brought to tears; this was their most admired senior brother, who now lay dead before them.

“Friends, I, Qinyangzi, will go ahead!”

The one shouting was a disheveled, bloodied old man in green robes, sporting several ghastly wounds, missing an arm. Though aware he was about to die, there was no trace of fear on his face; instead, he laughed heartily.

Then, he hurled himself into the alien ranks, using self-detonation to contribute his final strength…

“Friend, I’ll join you shortly!”

“Hahaha, the more the merrier on the road to the underworld!”

“Joyful, joyful, to die for the greater good of humanity, although dead, still honorable!”

One by one, heavily injured cultivators, knowing their fate, chose to self-destruct calmly, rushing towards death heroically.

Boom boom boom boom~

The explosive sounds were deafening, various luminous spheres erupted on the battlefield, presenting a very dramatic scene.

Among them, a burly man, as large as a tower, with muscles like twisted ropes, radiated a wild aura, fiercely battling dozens of alien generals, shaking the heavens and earth.

As the mightiest in the wilderness region, the Giant Spirit Immortal Sovereign undoubtedly undertook the heavy responsibility of repelling the alien invasion.

Though he was a mighty figure, strong enough to be among the first ranks of Immortal Sovereigns, facing the siege of over a dozen alien generals was still a tough battle, placing him at a disadvantage.

After all, the overall strength of the wilderness region was far behind the enemy, with only a few reaching Immortal Sovereign levels.

To make matters worse, there was only the Giant Spirit Immortal Sovereign left alive!

Thus, the Giant Spirit Immortal Sovereign found himself in a perilous situation, besieged.

“Give up resistance; you can’t win against us!” an alien general sneered.

“That’s right; you’re the strongest here, but unfortunately, you’re fighting alone, no one can help you. Since you’re going to die anyway, you might as well make it quick!” Another alien general sought to unsettle him.

The Giant Spirit Immortal Sovereign spat a mouthful of bloody saliva, glaring back fiercely, “What’s death? It’s the feeling of dying in vain that’s terrifying!”

“Even if I die in battle, at least I die worthily!”

His tone was firm, each word resonating.

“Ha, then go die!”

The dozen or so alien generals rush forward with weapons drawn, grinning maliciously.

At the end of his rope, the Giant Spirit Immortal Sovereign began to retreat under the relentless assaults of the alien generals, just as he was about to detonate himself.

“Hmph!”

Suddenly, amidst the vast heavens, a youthful snort resonated like thunder.

Instantly, a powerful imperial might enveloped the wilderness region, forcing all combatants to stop fighting.

“No, this is impossible!”

The dozen alien generals turned pale, realizing this overwhelming sensation of an Immortal Emperor belonged to the human race, not their own king.

In the vast sky, a silver-haired figure of ethereal grace appeared.

With silver hair billowing in the wind, each strand shimmering, the youthful visage was extraordinarily handsome, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, donned in a solemn black robe, exuding an air of authority.

Boom~!

The resounding imperial might bore down upon each alien, making them feel unbearably heavy, their bodies buckling under the pressure, emitting sounds of cracking as they fell to their knees, terrified.

At this moment, all the beings in the wilderness region looked up, gazing in awe at the silver-haired youth who held dominion over life and death!

The Giant Spirit Immortal Sovereign momentarily stunned, tears of excitement streamed down his face as he trembled and exclaimed:

“It’s… it’s Ye Tian Emperor…”
