Yuan's Ascension

An Overlord slaying a Peak Perennial? His proclamation thundered across the heavens, stunning everyone into silence.

Perennial Gan Hou exchanged bewildered glances with his companions. Could Overlord Wu Ji truly accomplish such a feat? Instinctively, they suspected that Wu Yuan was being too overconfident.

This was a natural assumption. Though the vast megaverse produced several Legends of the River, the Nine Realms was unable to produce such monstrous prodigies capable of Dao pioneering at the sempiternal stage.

"Wu Ji?" Overlord Shang Cai's voice trembled with shock, yet a flicker of hope kindled in her heart as she considered a certain possibility. She immediately transmitted urgent messages: "Wu Ji, exercise caution. If victory seems uncertain, flee without hesitation."

"Kill us?" Perennial Long Gu scoffed, his laughter echoing in the void. "Ridiculous!"

The Tian Luo Holy Sect clearly regarded Overlord Wu Ji with great seriousness—why else dispatch thirteen Peak Perennials against him? But this massive show of force gave them absolute assurance of Wu Ji's death. No other outcome seemed plausible.

"Keep Gan Hou and the others occupied," Long Gu commanded, his voice sharp as a blade. His form streaked across the sky like a comet. "The rest, follow me to slay Overlord Wu Ji."

"Yes!" The Perennial powerhouses roared in unison.

While five Perennials engaged Gan Hou and his two companions, the remaining eight converged on Wu Yuan, their killing intent palpable.

Boom! Boom! Eternal-level arcane arts were unleashed, and Xiantian artifacts were activated, bombarding Wu Yuan from all directions.

Three Perennials specialized in close combat rushed in, with Perennial Long Gu at the forefront. Though his personal strength might not vastly exceed the others, his complete set of mid-grade Xiantian artifacts made him the most formidable threat.

In that breathless moment, the terrifying might of eight Perennials seemed to completely submerge Wu Yuan beneath waves of attacks.
