Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 756

“She… she said she’s Rosa? The Princess of the Asura Clan?”

“I’ve heard of her. She’s hailed as the brightest jewel of the Asura Clan, a super prodigy in both talismans and formations!”

“Word has it she’s a quirky little witch, ruthless and unpredictable, with quite the reputation for causing havoc in the Nine Nether!”

“Damn it, how dare she show up right now? What does she think we are—chopped liver in the Divine Court?”

“Shut it! Didn’t you see her just trap Ye Tian Emperor and the three supreme prodigies in one go…?”

The murmurs grew louder.

The cultivators from various realms felt uneasy.

By all rights, as members of the Divine Court, they should be required to kill any beings from the Nine Nether they encountered, but Rosa’s overwhelming strength filled them with genuine fear.

“You dare to sneak into the Kunlun Realm and attack us?! Are you trying to start a war, Asura Clan?!” Situ Kong shouted, outraged.

Rosa let out a haughty snort, “If you all can come, why can’t I? You think I’m scared of you birdmen from the Heavenly Realm?!”

“You!”

Situ Kong’s eyes were nearly spitting fire, gritting his teeth in fury.

The Asura Clan was recognized as the strongest in the Nine Nether, and the Heavenly Realm was simply not on the same level.

So, his threats were nothing but a joke.

Dao Wuhen coolly remarked, “I just want to know, is this your own whim, or is it the will of the Nine Nether’s higher-ups?”

For him, clarifying that was crucial!

The former was just a bother; the latter had deep implications.

Rosa huffed, “It’s got nothing to do with them. This is what I, the princess, want to do!”

Hearing this, Dao Wuhen’s eyes flashed, “So it’s purely your decision.”

“Amitabha, don’t be foolish, lady. If you just break this formation, we can let bygones be bygones,” Shijia Shengsi urged earnestly. “After all, even I can see your enemy is that Ye guy. Why not put aside your grudge and deal with the major threat first?”

Rosa laughed scornfully, “Bald monk, do you think I’m three years old? I finally managed to trap you all, and you think I’ll just let you go? Sure, I want revenge, but taking out a few more threats would be a huge benefit for me and build my name!”

At those words, Dao Wuhen and the others were truly enraged, feeling that this Asura princess was exceedingly arrogant, thinking she could kill them all by herself.

“Everyone, let’s combine our strength to break this formation!”

Situ Kong couldn’t take it anymore, shouting as he raised his hand to unleash vast light energy at the formation’s barrier.

Buzz buzz buzz~

But this force was like a stream flowing into the sea, completely absorbed by the formation.

“Fool! Watch how I deal with you!” Rosa said, forming a hand seal and manipulating the formation.

Swish!

In an instant, Situ Kong’s earlier attack was released in a different way by the formation.

“What?!”

Situ Kong’s face changed, forced to respond passively.

Boom~

He was blasted back, his expression as sour as someone who just ate shit.

The power he had just used was turned back against him, meaning the more he attacked, the more he would hurt himself.

Like a double-edged sword—it was downright disgusting!

No wonder the Great Formation was so revered; even those at the Saint Ancestor Realm wouldn’t dare underestimate it for good reason!

“So, what? Are you stunned?” Rosa asked, looking proud.

This formation, called the Spiral Devourment Formation, was extremely difficult—it could swallow any power, converting it into energy to maintain itself, and then release much of it back to attack enemies.

The trapped could either be ground to dust by the formation or die by their own power; either way, the outcome was grim.

“Damn it…” Situ Kong was anxious, wanting to attack again, but worried about his own power backfiring, leaving him at a loss.

“Don’t hesitate! Just attack! This formation, while it can absorb our power, has its limits. If we just hit it hard enough, we can break it! It’s just gonna take some effort along the way!”

Dao Wuhen seemed to see something, speaking solemnly.

This was simple yet brutal logic, but the truth was indeed like that.

“Dao’s right.” Shijia Shengsi’s eyes flickered; in the current situation, they had no choice but to use this blunt method.

Having said that, they pooled all their strength and launched an all-out assault on the formation’s barrier, determined to break it.

Rosa’s delicate nose wrinkled slightly; if it went like this, there was a real chance her formation might get broken.

Good thing she just wanted to stir the pot and slap the Divine Court in the face!

Just then, an anomaly occurred within the formation.

A stunning beam of eternal sword light tore through the air, streaking towards Situ Kong at lightning speed.

In that moment, Situ Kong was still focusing on attacking the formation; feeling an icy chill from behind, he turned in shock and anger, roaring, “Ye Tian Emperor, have you lost your mind?!”

Caught off guard, he wasn’t prepared to defend against that sword.

The terrifying eternal sword light obliterated Situ Kong’s body in an instant!

He screamed in despair, “I hate…”

And then, his body turned into a mist of blood, dissipating into nothing.

Situ Kong, the heir of the Heavenly Realm, was dead!

This unexpected scene shocked everyone.

Rosa’s mouth dropped open, her beautiful eyes unable to hide her surprise.

She had thought Ye Junlin would temporarily set aside grudges and join forces with the other three to break her formation.

But instead, he took the chance to stab one of them in the back and eliminate him!

Dao Wuhen stood in shock, then angrily questioned, “You don’t see the larger picture, do you? Now that one person is gone, we’ve lost that much power to break the formation; what were you thinking?!”

He had expected Ye Junlin to know how to differentiate priorities, to first join forces to break the formation before addressing their internal conflicts.

But contrary to expectations, the guy had used the opportunity to take out Situ Kong, making it even harder to break the formation without his power.

Ye Junlin wore a playful smile, “Did I ever say I wanted to cooperate? Clearly, you took it upon yourselves to decide! Plus, getting rid of you is far more beneficial than teaming up!”

Sure, Rosa’s formation was tricky, but he had his methods to deal with it, so cooperation wasn’t in his plans.

Taking out a rival at this moment was just too good to pass up!

With Situ Kong dead, the resistance lessened, and Ye Junlin felt even more confident facing the remaining two!
