Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 569

At this moment,

Hong Qianye floated in her flowing red attire, becoming the most eye-catching sight between heaven and earth, her breathtakingly beautiful face calm and undisturbed.

Inside, however, she felt a tumultuous change, a satisfied smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.

“So this is the power of the Immortal Sovereign.”

Her heart wasn’t as tranquil as it appeared; this level was something she had long aspired to reach, and now she finally achieved it.

Since ascending to the Immortal Realm, she had separated from her Master and others, wandering alone around the Dongsheng Immortal Domain, seeking opportunities to enhance her abilities.

Due to her extraordinary looks, she encountered numerous unnecessary troubles along the way, all of which she resolved with her formidable strength and ruthless methods, building her reputation and drawing attention from major powers.

As her fame spread, cultivators throughout the Dongsheng Immortal Domain had heard of a stunningly beautiful, aloof red-clad Immortal who had emerged.

Not only did she stand out in appearance, but she was also immensely powerful, having defeated many seasoned veterans without mercy, her methods exceedingly ruthless, marking her as an extraordinary talent recently rising to prominence!

Regarding this, Hong Qianye consistently emphasized her identity as a man, but the effect was minimal; less than thirty percent of the cultivators believed her claims.

Most viewed it as a rumor or thought she was deliberately messing with them.

After all, they couldn’t believe that someone could possess such extraordinary beauty as a man.

Seeing that clarifications were useless, Hong Qianye simply grew tired of explaining, wandering around the Dongsheng Immortal Domain under the moniker of the red-clad Immortal.

Her dazzling presence made her a rising star, leading many factions to extend olive branches, hoping to recruit her under their banner.

But with her personality, how could Hong Qianye possibly join?

Naturally, she ignored them and continued exploring, focusing on cultivating her abilities.

As a result, she offended several proud big shots who either plotted against her in secret or openly tried to suppress her, hoping to coerce her into submission.

As the saying goes, “Fame brings trouble.”

The troubles Hong Qianye faced weren’t limited to those hostile higher-ups; many second-generation immortals were also eyeing her beauty…

Some wanted to use their vast wealth to tempt Hong Qianye into spending the night with them, while others shamelessly pursued her. Then there were those who sent various experts to try capturing her as a male pet.

Faced with these threats, Hong Qianye maintained a strong mindset, diligently cultivating while deftly countering their advances.

Born from the Demonic Path, she understood human nature well, first deploying schemes to incite distrust among the second-generation immortals, causing them to fight amongst themselves, and then using vicious methods to exploit weaknesses of some righteous sect cultivators to turn them into informants for her.

Thus, the seemingly hopeless situation was revitalized by Hong Qianye.

Eventually, she began traversing among various factions, continuously enhancing her abilities, officially entering the sights of several Immortal Sovereigns.

With rising influence came greater threats.

During this time, several Immortal Sovereigns started taking an interest in her, intending to subdue her.

Feeling uneasy about this, Hong Qianye realized she could handle a single Immortal Sovereign, but not multiple at once. To avoid trouble, she decided to leave populated areas and retreat into a more remote and lesser-known great domain.

And so she arrived at the current Chihong Great Domain!

The Chihong Great Domain ranked low in the Dongsheng Immortal Domain, currently only having two Immortal Sovereigns stationed there.

Seeing the opportunity ripe, Hong Qianye secretly began developing followers for the Fire Cult. With her tactics and formidable charisma, she quickly gathered a large number of Demonic Cultivators, all willing to serve her loyally!

Under Hong Qianye’s leadership, the Fire Cult soon unified the demonic forces of the Chihong Honorary Domain, able to contend with the two strongest righteous sect forces.

Those two righteous sects were the Tianyuan Holy Land and the Tae A Holy Land, each led by one of the Immortal Sovereigns.

Originally, the two holy lands co-dominated the Chihong Great Domain, living quite comfortably.

However, the emergence of the Fire Cult made them realize they faced an unprecedented and significant threat.

In their anger and shock, the two holy lands formed an alliance, mobilizing their forces to besiege the Fire Cult.

Even the two Immortal Sovereign ancestors behind them personally took to the field, leading a massive army to ruthlessly sweep away the scattered Fire Cult strongholds, determined to uproot this enormous entity.

After a rapid expansion and consolidation, the Fire Cult’s influence had spread over half of the Chihong Great Domain, but even so, they couldn’t withstand this fierce onslaught.

The thousands of sub-chapters were almost entirely wiped out, causing the newly unified demonic force to collapse in an instant.

Just when the outside world believed the Fire Cult was doomed and their mysterious Sect Leader had fled,

In reality, Hong Qianye led a core group to this extremely remote little place, where she secretly laid low and avoided drawing attention.

Hong Qianye knew well that while she could challenge a Immortal Sovereign, she was aware that the two Immortal Sovereigns in the Chihong Great Domain were both seasoned, powerful figures, with many tricks up their sleeves.

If she acted rashly, it could spell disaster; the only way to turn the tide was to break through to become a Immortal Sovereign herself!

“Sect Leader, with the two holy lands attacking, where should our Fire Cult go from here?”

One day, facing the concerns of her subordinates, Hong Qianye stood with her hands behind her back, smiling calmly.

“Simple, I become a Sovereign, and that’s it!”

With that, Hong Qianye turned around and entered a cave dwelling she casually opened, relying on her enlightenment and accumulation over this time to finally breakthrough to the Immortal Sovereign realm today!

At that moment, Hong Qianye’s aura no longer concealed itself, releasing the cultivation of an Immortal Sovereign, startling her nearby subordinates who were guarding.

When they saw their Sect Leader revealing her Immortal Sovereign stature, tears of excitement filled the eyes of these core members as they knelt and worshipped, shouting:

“Congratulations, Sect Leader, on achieving the position of Immortal Sovereign! Forever shall our Fire Cult shine, ruling all seas and dominions!”

Their united voices were thunderous, also reaching Bo Chengli’s ears from afar.

Bo Chengli’s heart stirred, her face showing delight.

So, it turns out she’s still a Demonic Cult sect leader?

If that’s the case, controlling her would mean controlling this so-called Fire Cult!

The more Bo Chengli thought about it, the happier she became; her previously gloomy heart now felt illuminated by a ray of hope and motivation.

That’s right.

Her life’s turnaround, her powerful comeback, would start by controlling that red-dressed woman!

Then, Bo Chengli secretly approached, beginning to activate the Yin-Yang Absorption Technique to subtly influence Hong Qianye’s spirit.

“Everyone stand up; you’ve all worked hard during this time.”

Hong Qianye retracted her aura, her signature Danfeng Eyes gleaming with light, difficult to look directly at.

“Thank you, Sect Leader!”

Upon hearing this, the subordinates were deeply moved, as if reverently meeting a divine being, their expressions filled with admiration.

They were captivated both by her strength and the irresistible allure of her beauty.

Moreover, after becoming an Immortal Sovereign, Hong Qianye’s bearing became even more outstanding; just seeing her made them dizzy with longing, wishing they could give everything for her.

Such was the cost of beauty worship!

“Sect Leader, with your current breakthrough, it’s about time for the two holy lands to pay the price!”

“Yes, our Fire Cult cannot suffer this humiliation!”

“As long as the Sect Leader gives the order, we’ll immediately rally our hidden followers against the two holy lands!”

The crowd was enthusiastic, ready for action.

Having been hiding from the two holy lands and enduring endless humiliation, now that Hong Qianye had become an Immortal Sovereign, the Fire Cult had the means to turn the tables, and they were eager to retaliate against the two holy lands to crush their spirits.

Upon hearing this,

Hong Qianye let out a cold laugh, saying, “The moment I became a Sovereign, it signified the failure of the two holy lands.”

“Victory ultimately belongs to our Fire Cult!”

Her tone was resolute, containing an undeniable confidence.

Indeed, Hong Qianye intended to simultaneously subdue those two seasoned Immortal Sovereigns.

This was a show of absolute confidence in her strength.

Her subordinates were initially taken aback, then in awe, they clasped their hands, saying, “Sect Leader, your might is unparalleled; we’re in admiration!”

Just as Hong Qianye was preparing to move and end this farce, she suddenly sensed a subtle shift in the air nearby.

“Who?!”

A chill flashed in Hong Qianye’s eyes as she waved her sleeve.

At that moment, a figure uncontrollably spiraled towards them, crashing heavily at their feet.

“Who the hell are you?!” Her subordinates glared, eyes filled with lethal intent as they closed in.

Facing this group of fierce demonic powerhouses, Bo Chengli felt a twinge of panic inside.

But upon looking at Hong Qianye, her heart steadied immediately.

“An ant thinks it can spy on me?” Hong Qianye regarded Bo Chengli as a spy from the holy lands, intending to use force to extract related information.

To her surprise, the other party showed no fear, staring directly at her, a wicked smile on her face, as if she had Hong Qianye under control!

Bo Chengli frantically activated her technique, her gaze fixated on the beautiful red-clad woman, chest out and head held high, with a playful smile:

“This beautiful Immortal, from today on, you will be my personal maid; hurry up and kneel to thank me for my favor!”

As these words left her lips,

The entire place fell into a dead silence.
