Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 749

“Damn it, you guys did this on purpose, didn’t you? Showing up right now, making all my high-level puppets go poof!”

Yelü Hua was furious, spitting mad.

Forty Saint Kings, every last one of them wiped out; this was a brutal loss!

The other sect members didn’t respond, their attention fully on Empress Fuyao.

Through the recent battle, they had a complete grasp of her strength.

They had to tread carefully!

“You guys want to be my enemies too?” Empress Fuyao spoke icily, secretly working her martial arts techniques to quickly recover her state for the upcoming fight.

After all, taking down forty Saint Kings—even if most of them were just average—still drained quite a bit of her energy.

“Empress Fuyao, you’re the one picking a fight with us. If you agree to back off from this conflict, I promise you won’t be harmed,” Xu Baitian said politely.

He still held a shred of respect for an ancient supreme like Empress Fuyao, and her power was indeed impressive; unless absolutely necessary, he really didn’t want to waste energy on her.

The three people arriving behind him were his greatest threat!

Auste glared, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes as he mumbled, “Damn it, he’s taking the lead again…”

If he hadn’t experienced Xu Baitian’s terrifying power, he would have definitely lashed out at him for acting like the boss.

Empress Fuyao responded coldly, “Whoever wants to harm the Kunlun Realm is my enemy. I will do everything in my power to stop them, even at the cost of my life!”

Her voice was resolute as she said this.

“Heh, you just made the biggest mistake of your life!” Xu Baitian’s expression grew cold, his voice laced with a hint of killing intent as a terrifying aura surged from him.

“Why waste words with this woman? Just kill her!” Auste growled like a gorilla, his battle fervor boiling over as he charged in first.

Titan Strength erupted fully as his fist came crashing down like millions of meteors falling, powerful enough to destroy a world.

Feeling the astonishing force of the punch, Empress Fuyao remained calm, moving her hands back and forth as if using his own power against him to counter the terrifying punch.

Boom boom boom~

However, the impact was too intense; even though she was skilled in using softness to overcome strength, she could barely offset the horrific power of that punch.

Empress Fuyao staggered back, blood surging inside her, discomfort making her frown.

“Oh? You can actually block it? You’ve got some skills!” Auste’s expression turned awkward, a fierce glint lighting up his eyes, igniting his desire to fight even more.

Swish swish swish, his fists fell like a meteor shower, unstoppable and overwhelming.

Empress Fuyao dodged as best she could while desperately trying to fend off the blows.

The other sect members joined the fray, surrounding her and compressing her space for movement.

“Sun and Moon Protection Spell!”

In a moment of crisis, Empress Fuyao activated this defensive spell.

In an instant, it absorbed a large amount of damage.

Caught in the siege of the sect members, she darted and maneuvered, giving the impression of fighting a horde single-handedly.

“Sky-Resounding Sword Slash!” Suddenly, a cold shout cut through the chaos, a terrifying sword light surged towards her, striking hard against her Sun and Moon Protection Spell, producing countless unfathomable cracks.

The one who struck was Liu Bai from the Realm of Ten Thousand Swords!

He didn’t rush to unleash his sword but had been waiting for the right moment. That one strike nearly broke Empress Fuyao’s defense!

Empress Fuyao’s eyes turned icy; despite being surrounded, she didn’t give up, quickly searching for an opening.

“Light of Reincarnation!”

In the next second, she unleashed this great divine ability, and an instant later, light engulfed the surrounding sect members.

Everything became a blinding white.

“Ah,” countless people felt their eyes sting, unable to open them.

“What the hell?!” Auste sensed the danger instinctively, shifting from offense to defense to block the violent energy wave.

The other sect members were forced back, their expressions showing fear.

If they faced that alone, they’d be doomed!

After gaining the upper hand with her attack, Empress Fuyao set her sights on the weakest among them, including Yelü Hua.

Determined to take out as many as she could while she still could!

With that thought in mind, Empress Fuyao resolutely unleashed her strongest killing move…

Great Annihilation Technique!

In an instant,

An unparalleled destructive force descended, shaking the very Kunlun Realm.

“It’s over, it’s coming for me!” Yelü Hua felt his scalp tingling with dread.

His own strength wasn’t particularly strong, mainly relying on the forty Saint King-level puppets; now that he lost those advanced puppets, his combat power was even below that of the tenth-ranked sect member on the supreme list, facing such a killing move filled him with intense fear.

Just then, a huge dark golden shield appeared, actually blocking the unimaginable force of the Great Annihilation Technique!

Boom boom boom~

The shield trembled with tremendous energy waves until the Great Annihilation Technique gradually dissipated.

Everyone looked on in shock; it was a handsome young man with a third eye on his forehead, the light emanating from that eye clearly indicating it was the power of the Divine Eye!

Xu Baitian stood tall, his hands clasped behind his back, posture as straight as a spear, his gaze cold as he said, “I won’t let you succeed.”

The defensive shield he had just released was just one facet of his Divine Eye ability.

Besides that, he had various powers, considered the most versatile of the Divine Eye clan.

Seeing Empress Fuyao trying to take out a few sect members first, Xu Baitian seized the opportunity to shatter her plans.

“Hahaha, Xu brother’s the reliable one!” Yelü Hua sighed in relief, bursting into a hearty laugh.

“You guys…”

Empress Fuyao felt her heart sink to the bottom, sweat beading on her forehead as she suddenly felt like she was fighting a desperate battle.

Even she couldn’t help but feel a sense of powerlessness.

Back when she was besieged by the major figures of the Nine Nether, her cultivation levels were on par, and she could still forcefully take down several giants.

Now, she was at a disadvantage in cultivation level against these sect members and could only barely compensate with strength, but still struggled to make a kill, having taken none!

The predicament she faced today was even worse than back then!

“Oh no, my cultivation level…”

Empress Fuyao sensed something, her aura rapidly plummeting.

With the time limit of the Dao’s bolster having passed, she dropped from the Saint King realm back to the initial quasi-Saint King level—her strength had plummeted significantly.

It was like pouring salt on her wounds!

With this, facing the siege of the sect members, Empress Fuyao had even less confidence to retaliate.

Defeat was imminent!
