Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 609

Tu Lie, who escaped from Qingqiu Nation, felt increasingly frustrated on his way back.

He greatly regretted coming here for trouble, especially engaging that monster and getting completely wrecked.

“Hey, Ye! You’re impressive, but remember, the tides can turn in thirty years! Only the one who laughs last is the real winner!”

“Right now, you’re at the top of the Immortal Realm, but I’m not going to wallow as a useless waste! From now on, I’ll treat this as a disgrace and work harder. You and that cheap woman better watch out!”

Tu Lie couldn’t swallow this humiliation and swore he’d get revenge one day.

An axe lost can be refined again.

Armor gone can be reforged!

But if you lose your ambition, you lose everything!

It must be said, if most Immortal Emperors experienced such humiliation and blows, they’d either collapse emotionally on the spot or give birth to inner demons, making their cultivation path almost impossible.

But Tu Lie could resolve to change after a severe setback, no wonder he could become a super top-tier powerhouse.

Understanding how to convert sorrow and anger into motivation, it’s easy to imagine that when he returned, his cultivation would soar!

Just as Tu Lie was filled with indignation, planning to head back to Dongsheng Immortal Domain and train hard…

A clear and curious voice from a distance called out to him,

“Immortal Lord Tu, is that you?”

Upon hearing this,

Tu Lie cursed inwardly.

Usually, he presented himself with an awe-inspiring and domineering image, but if anyone recognized him in this miserable state, it would be the ultimate embarrassment!

“Friend, you must have mistaken me!”

Without hesitation, Tu Lie quickened his pace, afraid of being recognized.

But just because he dragged a wounded body, even with all his might, he couldn’t fly as fast as before.

Soon, a figure blocked his path!

“Immortal Lord Tu, it’s really you! What happened to you?”

The blocker was a young man dressed in a large feather robe, skin as smooth as jade and handsome, with a gaze sparkling like a thousand stars.

It was none other than Yuhua Sheng!

Yuhua Sheng was surprised, not expecting to run into the Immortal Lord from Dongsheng Immortal Domain, known as the War Crazy Emperor.

What shocked him the most was that the other party looked seriously injured and unstable!

It shouldn’t be!

Who in this West Ze Immortal Domain could beat him like this?

Could it be that Qingqiu Empress?

Impossible, there’s no way that flirty fox has that kind of power!

Being a part of the Immortal Court, Yuhua Sheng naturally heard some gossip among the Immortal Emperors.

For example, this Immortal Lord Tu had pursued the Empress of Qingqiu Nation aggressively, well-known in the Immortal Court.

But now, he was desperately trying to flee West Ze Immortal Domain, leaving Yuhua Sheng confused about what had happened.

Caught in the act, Tu Lie felt his dignity shattered and glared angrily at the feather-robed youth, exclaiming,

“Who the hell are you? Do I know you?!”

Yuhua Sheng wasn’t angry, but smiled and cupped his hands, “Immortal Lord Tu, I’m Yuhua Sheng, an A-class Immortal Official in the Immortal Court.”

“Yuhua Sheng…”

Tu Lie thought he vaguely recalled that name, but it wasn’t deeply etched in his memory; after all, someone at his level wouldn’t be bothered with ordinary A-class officials.

But someone reaching this level has a huge network; just a word could make it common knowledge.

Realizing this,

Tu Lie tightened his expression and threatened,

“I don’t care who you are! If you dare to tell anyone about today’s meeting, I’ll come for you later! Got it?!”

As he spoke, a fierce aura exploded, freezing the space around him.

Normally, any ordinary Immortal Emperor would be intimidated, nodding eagerly.

After all, Tu Lie’s identity alone could intimidate anyone!

But Yuhua Sheng was different; he remained unphased, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, coolly saying,

“Immortal Lord Tu, the situation seems lost on you. With your injuries, running around out here is likely to cost you your life!”

On hearing this,

Tu Lie first froze, almost doubting his ears, then a surge of furious anger ignited in him, threatening to consume him entirely.

Damn!

He could accept being humiliated by that Ye guy, considering he lacked strength.

But what’s this now?

A random nobody dares to jump out and threaten him?

Veins popping on his forehead, he bellowed, “Do you even know what you’re saying? Want to die?!”

Yuhua Sheng chuckled coldly, “Immortal Lord Tu, watch your tone. I might just let you live a little longer.”

Tu Lie exploded with laughter in anger.

Oh, this is rich! A hidden dragon lying low, mocked by a shrimp!

What are you even? Daring to spew nonsense at me?!

“Did you think I’m injured and can’t handle you? Dealing with a nobody like you is more than enough!”

With that, Tu Lie unleashed a powerful aura, an ancient, imposing crown of lore emerging above his head.

Although at that moment, he was in a reduced state, his strength at a subpar level, he could still easily suppress a second-rate powerhouse like Yuhua Sheng!

Yuhua Sheng suddenly felt a wave of pressure.

He knew all too well that he couldn’t beat Tu Lie.

The only reason he dared to provoke him was that he felt secure!

“Ant, die!”

Tu Lie reached out, roaring with fury.

Just then, another hand clamped tightly onto his arm, like a vice, leaving him unable to move.

A mocking voice came from beside him, “You’re a fine snack for the Human Race, I’m quite satisfied.”

“Who?!”

Tu Lie’s heart jolted, turning his head to see.

Someone who could approach him unnoticed was certainly not an ordinary powerhouse.

In view was a tall man with blood-red hair, a savage expression, sharp teeth, and eyes scanning him like prey.

Tu Lie’s pupils constricted, his mind buzzing, “You… are from the Undying Blood Clan!”

“Right on the mark, but too bad there’s no prize.” The Luantian Blood Emperor taunted.

Tu Lie’s heart raced.

In an instant, various thoughts flashed through his mind.

Angrily glaring at Yuhua Sheng, he roared, “So, you’re an Immortal Emperor selling out the Immortal Realm to side with foreign forces!”

Yuhua Sheng remained calm, smirking, “Immortal Lord Tu, you’re realizing too late. I’m curious, how did you end up in such a state in West Ze Immortal Domain? You might as well spill the beans.”

“Traitor, how dare you ask me? I’ll kill you first!” Tu Lie bellowed.

Swish!

An ancient black official seal emerged, radiating vast immortal light, depicting a mighty Xuanwu exuding an overwhelming presence.

This was the official seal belonging to the Dongsheng Immortal Lord, with power comparable to a top-tier Immortal Emperor artifact.

Since he had lost his axe, Tu Lie opted for this official seal instead.

Yuhua Sheng’s expression changed, “Sir, save me!”

“Before me, does this native dare to act fierce?” The Luantian Blood Emperor’s expression soured as he lifted a hand.

Rip!

Tu Lie’s arm was brutally torn off, blood gushing from the severed limb.

“Ah!”

The pain twisted Tu Lie’s face, and furious, he prepared to use the official seal to kill the Undying Blood Clan member beside him.

Little did he know, the powerful seal was blocked effortlessly by the Luantian Blood Emperor.

“This thing is interesting.”

The Luantian Blood Emperor snatched the official seal and struck with all his might.

Boom!

Tu Lie’s towering figure was sent flying back for a hundred thousand meters, crashing through countless mountains before landing heavily at a lakeside, creating massive waves across the lake.

He lay there, blood spilling from his mouth, his chest caved in with distinct palm prints showing, badly injured.

“How could this…”

Tu Lie’s face contorted in pain, his heart trembling.

From that brief exchange, he sensed the other party’s unfathomable strength, feeling even at his peak he might not match it!

Swish~

Two figures landed.

The Luantian Blood Emperor toyed with the Immortal Lord’s official seal, mocking, “This so-called Immortal Lord in the Immortal Realm is just this pathetic!”

Yuhua Sheng stood respectfully behind him, “Sir, you could take his official seal and replace him as Dongsheng Immortal Lord.”

The Luantian Blood Emperor nodded, “Sure, I quite like this identity. We’ll capture him first and then find that Ye guy!”

Upon hearing this, Tu Lie was stunned, “So, you guys are looking for that Ye guy!”

“Oh? Seems you’ve met him?” The Luantian Blood Emperor’s eyes narrowed.

At that moment,

Tu Lie’s heart was beyond words,

He deeply regretted coming to this cursed place!

Clearly, it had nothing to do with him, but he was dragged into this mess!

“Sir, I suggest we directly soul search; he definitely knows something!” Yuhua Sheng proposed.

“Hmm,”

To ensure safety, the Luantian Blood Emperor extended a hand, unleashing a powerful pulling force, making Tu Lie uncontrollably fly towards him, his head firmly pressed down.

“Ah…”

Tu Lie wanted to resist, but it was futile; the other’s power dwarfed him greatly.

In a rough soul search, all his previous experiences laid bare, with no secrets left.

“Tsk, tsk, so you’re just a lovesick fool! Even I feel ashamed for you!”

The Luantian Blood Emperor sneered at the soul-searched Tu Lie.

At that moment, he’d spotted the silver-haired youth, his expression shifting slightly,

“So, this guy’s name is Ye Junlin; he’s the mastermind behind sabotaging the Nine Nether plan.”

Then,

The Luantian Blood Emperor witnessed a fierce battle.

His expression shifted from relaxation to grave concern, brows furrowing deeply, and finally widened in shock!

“This…”
