Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity

---

Boom!

In an instant, Situ Tian was kicked back to the Heaven Realm, landing heavily and creating a pit that looked like a bottomless abyss.

The powerful beings of the Heaven Realm were stunned into silence, unable to believe what had just happened.

That old man’s strength was just too terrifying!

“Damn it…”

At the bottom of the pit, Situ Tian was covered in dirt and looked astonished and furious. If it weren’t for the Bright Sacred Armor he was wearing, that kick could have seriously injured him!

The Bright Sacred Armor was the supreme sacred artifact of the Bright Clan, only the clan leader was qualified to wear it. It significantly boosted defense and augmented one’s Bright Sacred Power!

The most humiliating part was that with the Bright Sacred Armor on him, he was still kicked away like a rag doll.

Situ Tian felt both humiliated and enraged.

No matter what, he had to avenge his son!

“Whoever stands in my way, I’ll kill them!” Situ Tian roared in madness, quickly rushing toward the starry sky.

With a wave of his hand, the vast Bright Sacred Power transformed into millions of suns, enveloping the old man standing against the backdrop of the stars.

“Explode!”

Boom!

In an instant, the entire starry sky trembled violently. The overwhelming destructive energy surged wildly, devouring countless planets along its path.

The Saint Ancestor Realm experts watched in horror.

As the leader of the Bright Clan, Situ Tian’s strength was unquestionable. Coupled with the Bright Sacred Armor, he ranked among the top-tier Saint Ancestor Realm powerhouses.

With just this move, there were hardly any who could withstand it!

Taking advantage of this chaos, Situ Tian charged toward the Kunlun Realm to avenge his son. But then, a familiar figure, like a nightmare, wrapped around him—an old man resembling a farmer, holding a hoe exuding sacred rhythm, with an expression as calm as a deep well but filled with coldness.

“You…”

Situ Tian’s eyes widened, an ominous premonition gnawing at him.

The next second, the hoe swung down violently, tearing through the endless void.

Boom!

Situ Tian was sent flying once more, blood trailing from the corner of his mouth, and even a crack appeared on his Bright Sacred Armor.

“Your life, I don’t mind taking it!” Elder Changsheng said calmly yet shockingly.

All beings shivered in fear.

That was the leader of the Bright Clan, the lord of the Heaven Realm!

To this old man, he could easily be killed!

“You dare!”

Situ Tian, having faced continuous embarrassment in such a situation, was furious to the point of spewing blood. He disregarded everything and attacked Elder Changsheng.

Supreme Divine Abilities from the Bright Clan sprang forth effortlessly.

Compared to Situ Tian’s frantic efforts, Elder Changsheng maintained his calm demeanor, appearing slow and unhurried.

Holding the hoe, he continued his strikes as if he were an old farmer plowing the field, focused and undistracted.

The motion of swinging the hoe was simple enough for even a three-year-old to understand, yet it exuded a kind of ineffable Dao rhythm as if it contained the truth of the Great Dao, returning to simplicity!

Boom boom boom…

Amidst countless explosions of light, Situ Tian began to retreat step by step, his hair disheveled, and his once pure white wings now stained with blood, filled with disbelief.

His Bright Sacred Armor was covered in fractures, the sacred light dimmed significantly.

Situ Tian truly didn’t expect that this old monster before him would be so fierce, using a hoe to hammer him mercilessly!

If it weren’t for the protection of the Bright Sacred Armor, he may have sustained even worse injuries. But even so, he was on the verge of collapsing!

“Wow, so strong…” Panlong Wusheng was dumbfounded, his heart greatly shaken.

Situ Tian was a person he looked up to, not only in status but also in strength, vastly superior.

Yet now, with Elder Changsheng wielding just a hoe, he was being completely overpowered—this left him utterly astonished.

As he witnessed Elder Changsheng mercilessly beating Situ Tian, the other Saint Ancestor Realm leaders didn’t dare to step forward to help, just watching in wide-eyed astonishment. The earlier plans for a group assault had vanished…

There was nothing to be done; Elder Changsheng’s displayed strength was just too horrifying!

This is the power of Respect Grade Sacred Intent!

“Look, the Dao Zhu of the Dao Clan and the Buddha Son from the Western Sky Realm have both been taken down by Ye Tian Emperor!”

Suddenly, a being exclaimed in shock.

At this moment, everyone turned their attention back to the screen.

The silver-haired young man stood with his sword, with no one left standing beside him!

A slaughter on the rankings!

A true slaughter on the rankings!

In the blink of an eye, the entire universe fell silent.

All ten of the supreme geniuses on the supreme ranking had perished at the hands of a single person.

In the past, that would have been utterly impossible, but now it had happened in such an unbelievable way.

Unprecedented!

Countless cultivators of the Divine Court recognized that in this era, the strongest genius was none other than Ye Tian Emperor!

Boom…

At that moment, two immensely terrifying auras exploded simultaneously, as if they would disrupt the starry sky and overshadow the universe.

“This kid cannot be left alive!”

Dao Lord’s eyes were ice-cold, the anger in his heart could no longer be contained.

Dao Wuhen was his bottom line; with Dao Wuhen dead, this had touched his reverse scale!

Understand, this kid had gained his admiration and cultivation; he was supposed to succeed him in the future!

And just like that, he suddenly died. How could Dao Lord possibly swallow this anger?

“The Great Demon has emerged, right in Kunlun!”

The Buddha Emperor stated firmly.

Shijia Shengsi was currently the person he had the most confidence in; he believed he could cultivate him to be the next leader of the Western Sky Realm, but fate had played a cruel joke on him.

If only he had let Shijia Shengsi return midway, instead of allowing him to leap headfirst into the fire!

Now, it was too late to regret!

Situ Tian’s eyes flashed with extreme excitement as he shouted, “Quick, go take out that guy named Ye!”

He was thrilled; with these two extraordinary powerhouses also embroiled in the mess.

Boom!

Dao Lord and Buddha Emperor disregarded how the world viewed them; they had to eliminate the threat that was Ye Junlin.

“Hmph!”

Elder Changsheng snorted coldly, having no choice but to give up pursuing Situ Tian and turn to block Dao Lord and Buddha Emperor.

An even more intense battle was about to unfold!

Both were unique powerhouse-level figures who grasped Respect Grade Sacred Intent, nullifying Elder Changsheng’s greatest advantage, plunging him into a fierce struggle.

Seeing Elder Changsheng being held back, the other leaders seized the opportunity, attempting to bypass him and target the Kunlun Realm.

Luo Wuliang certainly wouldn’t let them have their way, whether to protect his daughter or return favors, he had to stop these Divine Court powerhouses.

“Hahaha, today really has opened my eyes; now the entire universe knows that your Divine Court cultivators can’t take a loss!”

Luo Wuliang laughed heartily, his laughter dripping with sarcasm.

“This is an internal matter of the Divine Court; it’s not for you, an Alien from the Nine Nether, to judge!”

The Lord of Ten Thousand Swords said coldly, charging in with his sword.

The scene was extremely chaotic.

The sun and moon fell silent, the starry sky exploded, and numerous star systems were involved, countless planets reduced to dust.

Elder Changsheng was struggling; beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his forehead, and the speed of the hoe in his hand was growing slower, with frightening wounds appearing across his body.

Taking on two top-tier powerhouses under the Creation Saint was still quite strenuous for him.

If it weren’t for the assistance of Respect Grade Sacred Intent, allowing him to merge and encompass each move, he would have been crushed into pieces and destroyed long ago!

“You can’t stop us!” Dao Lord said coldly.

“If you leave now, we can let bygones be bygones!” Buddha Emperor added coldly.

After all, Elder Changsheng was also a top powerhouse; if before his death, he insisted on taking someone down with him, they wouldn’t want to risk that.

So, if the other party retreated voluntarily, allowing them to advance, to kill the root of the trouble, then they could wash their hands of the matter.

The shadow of death loomed over him; the seemingly simple old farmer maintained his calm demeanor, a hint of nostalgia flickering in his eyes.

During the ancient battles, he had witnessed Empress Fuyao’s death, and his friend Emperor Tian being captured. Knowing the trend was against him, he had to escape using his abilities, thus living a secluded life ever since.

With all these years gone by, he had grieved for the Kunlun Realm; it had effectively died in his heart.

Never would he have imagined.

Recently, the Kunlun Realm had re-entered his sight, shocking the starry sky, regaining some of its former glory.

This unintentionally ignited a fighting spirit within him!

For this reason, Elder Changsheng had been secretly observing, wanting to gauge the situation; deep down, he still wished to revitalize the Kunlun Realm.

And now,

Kunlun Realm had produced an unparalleled genius, whose potential surpassed that of him and the other three from back then.

Elder Changsheng had completely dedicated himself; he felt it was time to contribute his greatest efforts to the Kunlun Realm, to prove he had once been its protector!

At that moment,

Facing the threats from Dao Lord and Buddha Emperor, Elder Changsheng let out a relieved laugh. A profound light sparkled in his eyes as he said meaningfully,

“You can take my life, but before I die, one of you must accompany me to the grave!”

As he spoke, a more terrifying aura exploded from him, as if some kind of destructive energy was about to break free.

“You!”

Both Dao Lord and Buddha Emperor paled; this was the last result they wanted to see.

Just as this unprecedented chaos continued, a majestic voice filled with divinity echoed,

“Everyone, stop for me!”

The universe fell into silence.

The expressions of Dao Lord and the others were filled with shock, for this was the voice of the master of the Divine Court!
