Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 743

Suddenly, Tang Feng realized exactly what he needed to do.

“Everyone, I believe this Ye Tian Emperor is just a fraud looking for fame; this statue doesn’t deserve to stand here!”

With that, in front of the crowd, Tang Feng stepped forward and instantly appeared atop the massive statue’s head.

Wow!

Noticing the danger, the statue shimmered with a jade-like glow, forming a protective barrier similar to a light shell.

Having absorbed countless faith powers from the Kunlun Realm’s cultivators over time, this statue had already birthed a sort of divinity. The power it released in an emergency could rival that of an Immortal Emperor.

But to someone like Tang Feng, a Celestial Saint, an Immortal Emperor was no more than an ant!

He raised his foot and stamped down hard, and in that instant, the sound of cracking echoed as the shell of light surrounding the statue shattered.

Boom! The entire statue trembled violently, showing signs of sinking and kicking up thick clouds of dust around it.

The commotion caught the attention of everyone in Tian Di City.

Seeing the statue representing Ye Tian Emperor being trampled by a stranger incited a furious outburst among the local cultivators, who felt deeply humiliated.

Even though Ye Tian Emperor had long fallen from grace, his once-magnificent image in the hearts of every Kunlun cultivator remained a permanent deity! It was not to be desecrated by others!

Yet today, this statue symbolizing Ye Tian Emperor was being stomped on by an outsider.

This was like a slap in the face for every Kunlun cultivator!

“What are you doing? Get down now!”

Many cultivators shouted angrily.

“Humph, a bunch of ants.”

Seeing the crowd all worked up, Tang Feng smirked disdainfully, opening his aura to suppress them.

“Indeed, he’s an outlander powerhouse…” Many cultivators felt the terrifying pressure, a mix of fear and frustration boiling inside them.

The city lord of Tian Di City, Li Qingshan, was a Half-Saint.

From the moment outlander cultivators gathered in Tian Di City, he felt overwhelmed with pressure, living each day on edge, afraid these outlander cultivators would cause trouble.

While being a Half-Saint in Kunlun Realm meant standing above the masses, in this situation, he felt powerless like a mere mortal.

At this moment, witnessing an outlander trample the statue of Ye Tian Emperor, Li Qingshan, who initially wanted to avoid the conflict, felt a sharp pain in his heart. Unable to bear it anymore, he decided to step in and stop him.

“Immediately cease your disrespectful actions; otherwise, the Celestial Court will hold you accountable for the consequences!” Li Qingshan said, his face flushed with anger.

“The Celestial Court?” Tang Feng looked down at the middle-aged man, his eyes filled with mockery.

He raised his foot once more and stomped down.

Boom~!

The statue sank heavily again, cracks beginning to form on its head and chest.

With Tang Feng’s strength, he could easily smash this statue, but he deliberately restrained most of his power, wanting to stomp step by step for a more humiliating effect.

“You!”

Li Qingshan and the others’ eyes were about to bulge out, their eyes turning bloodshot.

“Ha ha, it won’t be long before the entire Celestial Court falls; do you think you can rely on them to punish me? What a joke!”

“You’d be better off kneeling and begging me, maybe I’ll consider stopping!”

Tang Feng sneered, stepping down once more, the statue rumbling as the cracks deepened.

“You’re going too far…” The cultivators within the city felt their eyes turn red, their chests heaving with rage, fists clenched tightly.

Li Qingshan gritted his teeth, a wave of intense humiliation washing over him.

He desperately wanted to rally everyone to fight back, but he knew it would only lead to pointless sacrifices. Still, he couldn’t bear to watch the statue be destroyed.

Emotions of anger, pain, discomfort, and unwillingness brewed within him, and ultimately, he deflated like a punctured balloon, collapsing to the ground as he cried out:

“Sir, this statue holds extraordinary significance for us; I beg you to stop! Your great kindness, we will remember forever!”

As he spoke those words, Li Qingshan seemed to age several years in an instant.

“City Lord!” the crowd cried out in anguish.

“Hahaha, that’s more like it!” Tang Feng placed his hands on his hips, laughing wildly, his laughter dripping with endless mockery.

The more Li Qingshan begged, the more smug Tang Feng became.

Inside the tavern, the outlander cultivators watched the scene unfold with varied expressions, yet none intervened to stop this outrageous behavior.

At the same time, a group of black-robed figures appeared in a nearby alley.

The shortest among them raised his head, revealing a delicate and cute face, with amber-red eyes flashing a glimmer of discontent.

No one expected the Asura Clan’s most noble princess had quietly infiltrated Tian Di City.

For the Divine Court realm, all Nine Nether Beings were sworn enemies, especially someone of Rosa’s status.

Watching Tang Feng trample the statue, Rosa felt an unexplained surge of annoyance.

“That bastard, I really want to teach him a lesson!”

She pulled out a high-level talisman, a mischievous gleam in her eye.

If she wanted, Tang Feng would be blasted to ashes in the next second!

“Princess, calm down! I’ve heard that the figures on the Supreme List are here; we mustn’t alert them!” the lead assassin urged anxiously.

“Ugh, so annoying!”

Rosa, furious, lifted her foot and stepped down on the lead assassin’s foot.

“Hiss~”

The lead assassin grimaced in pain, his facial muscles twitching.

Boom, boom, boom…

As Tang Feng continued to stomp repeatedly, the giant statue’s cracks grew ever deeper, looking like it was about to burst apart at any moment.

“Sir, please stop stomping; I beg you to stop!” Li Qingshan cried out desperately.

Seeing this, everyone disregarded everything else and fell to their knees, begging pitifully.

This statue of Ye Tian Emperor held a profoundly special position in the hearts of Kunlun cultivators; they genuinely did not want to witness its destruction.

“Ah hahahaha~”

Tang Feng’s laughter grew more rampant, his sense of satisfaction overflowing.

He intended to humiliate these Kunlun cultivators slowly; as for this statue, what did it matter if he smashed it?

From the very beginning, he had never intended to stop.

“Damn it, I can’t take it anymore!”

Seeing that arrogant face, Rosa’s anger boiled over; unable to hold back any longer, she was ready to activate that talisman.

Suddenly, from a distant horizon, a fiery red figure flew in like a phoenix taking to the skies, bringing with it a wave of scorching energy to Tian Di City.

An incredibly powerful aura quickly overshadowed Tang Feng’s presence.

In an instant, an extremely cold voice filled with endless killing intent echoed in every corner of the city, chilling everyone to the bone.

“You’re looking for death!”

Tang Feng felt a prickling sensation on his scalp, an instinctual sense of peril gripping him, he shouted angrily, “Who dares to speak so arrogantly?”

“Eat my Blue Silver Entwine!”

Immediately, she waved her hand, unleashing a torrent of blue vines, each containing terrifying power, tearing through the air violently.

Yet, what happened next was unexpected, as countless blue vines ignited as if lit on fire, burning to ash before even touching her target.

“What, how is this possible?!”

Tang Feng was stunned.

This was the signature move of Tang family’s third young master!

A singular Blue Silver Entwine that recognized no kin; it could be said to be a one-hit wonder.

How could it be wiped out in an instant?

Realizing something was off.

Tang Feng tried to retreat, but it was too late; a pale hand grasped his throat from afar, lifting him off the ground.

“Ugh…” Tang Feng’s terror mounted as he realized his powers seemed suppressed, rendering him powerless.

The crowd was dumbfounded, staring at the fiery red figure in surprise.

Dressed in flowing garments, with a slim figure and waist-length black hair, the face was so beautiful it was hard to tell if she was male or female, her phoenix eyes as cold as stars, her brows sharp.

Although stunning, radiating beauty that could enchant anyone, the aura she exuded was so chilling it made hearts shiver.

Looking at this careless fellow before her, Hong Qianye’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.

On the Celestial Court’s side, they were already on high alert.

Everyone was aware that Tian Di City had gathered a large number of outlander powerhouses, even rumored to have some of the supreme figures on the Supreme List present.

They had intended to observe the situation quietly, but Tang Feng’s despicable actions ignited the anger in everyone’s hearts.

As time passed, Hong Qianye could no longer bear it, brazenly defying Liu Huangshu’s orders, descending upon Tian Di City to confront the guy who insulted her Master.

In the Celestial Court.

Everyone watched the scene unfold, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

“Ah, impulsive as usual,” Liu Huangshu sighed, deep concern etched in his eyes.

He feared those outlander powerhouses in Tian Di City the most, and had thought to consolidate their strength for defense, never expecting such a disturbance would occur.

Li Wujie gritted his teeth in anger, “Damn it, he got a jump on me! I was just about to go over and cut that thing down!”

“What do we do now? Hong’s identity is special; we can’t risk any accidents!” someone voiced their concern.

“We must go to support her!”

“But doing that will only play into the enemy’s hands; they’re clearly trying to pick us off one by one!”

“If something happens to Hong, who’s going to explain it to the Ye Tian Emperor?”

Hearing the heated debate.

Liu Huangshu hesitated, feeling a deep sense of urgency.

With his modifications, the Celestial Court resembled a mobile War Fortress; it wouldn’t fear even the Ancient Saints, but what he feared the most were the Saint King-level powerhouses. From the intel he gathered, the number of Saint Kings vastly exceeded just a few!

Moreover, with Empress Fuyao secretly cultivating, the Celestial Court could do nothing but endure at this crucial juncture!

If one small oversight occurred, it would lead to huge chaos!

“Damn it, if you guys won’t go, then I will!” Li Wujie could no longer hold back, charging forward with his sword in a blaze of glory under the astonished gazes of the crowd.

Though he and Hong Qianye often bantered back and forth, when it came down to it, he had to stand by her side!

“You!”

Liu Huangshu felt powerless to stop him, utterly exhausted.

The Great Mushroom King furrowed his brows, silently stepping back to join the crowd.

He thought it necessary to report the situation to the Master…
