Goldy Ascendance: Limitless Celestial!-Chapter 44: Jack of All Trades.

As soon as we teleported, I locked eyes with him—the man wielding both Order Dao and Darkness Dao. His umbrella was poised as though mocking me, casting a peculiar shadow over his form, and for a moment, it felt like the entire world around us was waiting to see what would happen next.

"The audacity to bring me here... This will be your death!" His voice boomed, reverberating through the space around us, causing cracks in the very air. A menacing pressure washed over me, thick and overwhelming, as if the universe itself bent to his will.

My lips curled. Order Dao and Darkness Dao, huh? I knew exactly what I was up against. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He raised his hand, and I felt the world twist around me—rocks, trees, even the winds obeyed him as if he were their master. Every object within a mile radius trembled and shot toward me in perfect unison. The earth quaked, and boulders large enough to crush mountains hurtled toward me with lethal intent.

"Really?" I murmured, shaking my head. "You think this can bring me down?"

With a simple thought, I summoned the Limitless. My flames flared into existence, a blinding white fire that twisted space itself. It was a flame that could devour anything. When the first rock touched it, it disintegrated into nothingness, no trace left.

Soon, the sky above and the ground below were filled with the flames, erasing the onslaught of debris with contemptuous ease.

But the man wasn’t fazed. He smirked beneath his mask, and I felt a shift. The Order Dao intensified, seizing the very fabric of reality around us, reshaping it. The trees tore themselves from the earth and hovered like puppets ready to strike.

The ground beneath me trembled violently, opening cracks that ran for miles. His aura surged.

Before I could counter, darkness itself seeped into the cracks of reality. His Darkness Dao intertwined with the Order Dao, flooding the sky with shadows, swallowing my flames.

His darkness wasn’t ordinary—it was thick, suffocating, as if it could drown the soul itself.

The sky above us blackened, lightning crackling through the now-inked clouds. I felt the earth beneath my feet shifting, struggling under the weight of the two Daos clashing. I’d been in many battles, but this one... this was different. The very heavens seemed to be paying attention.

I smirked. Good. Watch me.

With a twist of my wrist, I unleashed my flames again, but this time, I didn’t hold back. The White Flames swirled violently, not just burning, but tearing through the boundaries of space and time itself. The air distorted, and the horizon rippled as if reality was bending to my will. My flames danced and coiled, erasing the very concept of existence wherever they touched.

The ground under my feet cracked and shattered, massive chasms opening up as the world itself struggled to withstand the power. Mountains in the distance trembled as if they could sense the destruction that was coming.

"You’re strong, I’ll give you that," I said aloud, my voice echoing even over the roaring chaos. "But you’ve never faced someone like me before."

I flicked my fingers and disappeared from where I stood, appearing behind him, but he anticipated it. His umbrella swiveled in my direction, and I felt an overwhelming force trying to bind me to the ground.

"Kneel!" he bellowed.

I felt his Order Dao wash over me, trying to force me down. It was powerful, far more refined than I expected, but that wouldn’t be enough. I stood firm, smirking as I casually disintegrated the binding force with a pulse of my qi.

"Is that all your Order Dao can do?" I asked, my tone mocking as I sidestepped another wave of darkness that surged toward me. "I expected more."

He growled, and with a snap of his fingers, the world around us twisted violently. The air turned dense with darkness, a void swallowing the light. His aura surged, and I could feel the very fabric of the heavens tremble. Even the stars seemed to fade from the sky, as if they, too, feared his power.

But I wasn’t shaken. No, I thrived in chaos.

"Enough of this." I raised my hand, and the entire battlefield froze for a moment. Time itself buckled under the force of my will. With another thought, I opened a rift in the air, my Space Dao tearing reality apart. Hundreds of space blades erupted from the rift, shimmering with deadly energy, tearing through his darkness as they converged on him.

The man growled, and his umbrella spun, sending a shockwave through the battlefield. Trees, rocks, and even the very earth shot toward me like missiles, but my Limitless flames met them head-on. The collision sent shockwaves in all directions, shaking the earth down to its core.

"Your flames... They’re unnatural!" he spat, frustration creeping into his voice as he commanded more of his surroundings to attack. Everything—the earth, the wind, the sky—obeyed him. His Order Dao was relentless, but my flames devoured all in their path.

Suddenly, I felt it. A presence—no, several presences. Eyes watching, unseen yet undeniable. The weight of their attention pressed down on the battlefield, making my skin prickle. I knew then that the fight was no longer just between us. We were performing on a stage far grander than we realized.

"Looks like we’ve got an audience," I muttered under my breath, the corners of my lips curling into a grin. "Let’s give them a show, shall we?"

My flames surged again, this time fiercer, hotter. The barrier between worlds was weakening under our power. The sky cracked with thunder, the ground splitting as if the earth itself was crying out from the strain. My space rifts tore the fabric of reality apart, while his darkness consumed everything in its wake.

The heavens above trembled. Even the stars seemed to flicker as our clash sent ripples through the cosmos. Yet, neither of us yielded.

He laughed—a deep, sinister sound. "You’re strong, boy, but I’ve only just begun."

His darkness swirled, growing thicker, more oppressive, and the pressure of his Order Dao intensified. The world itself seemed to tilt, as if it could no longer handle the power we were unleashing.

And yet, through it all, I could feel it. The unseen eyes watching, waiting. The powerful presences, taking note of every move.

This fight was far from over.
