Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity

Chapter 24




The crowd was terrified, their hearts racing, looking at Ye Junlin like he was a madman!

Even the Saint Son of the Yuhua Sect dared to provoke him? Is he tired of living?!

Prince Zhen Nan was dumbfounded, then suddenly thought of something and volunteered, “Saint Son Chen, let me catch this clueless guy for you to deal with!”

He wanted to seize the chance to show off and win favor with the strongest prodigy of Yuhua Sect.

Suddenly.

A sharp gust tore through the void as Ye Junlin charged forward, his expression grotesque, growling, “Kid, you’re in for it now!”

Swish!

At that moment, a tall figure in fiery red appeared, instantly raising the temperature around them.

Hong Qianye had a cold expression, standing in front of Prince Zhen Nan.

“Oh, where did this beauty come from?” Prince Zhen Nan was stunned, his eyes flashing with heat.

“Die!”

Hong Qianye disdainfully raised her hand, unleashing a fire-type Divine Ability.

Whoosh!

Flames as bright as the sun scorched the void, creating extremely twisted ripples.

Prince Zhen Nan’s face changed drastically as he exerted all his strength to resist, only to have even his Hunyuan Hammer turned to ashes, his entire body engulfed in an unknown blazing fire.

“Ah!!!”

A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the sky.

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Prince Zhen Nan quickly turned to ashes, leaving no trace behind.

“A Transformation Stage just died like that?”

“Who did it?!”

Gasps arose everywhere.

Everyone was speculating the identity of the woman in red.

“When did our Arid Province have such a powerful cultivator?” Ouyang Feng was dumbfounded, his feelings complex.

Thinking back to how he had previously bragged about being the strongest in Arid Province, he felt so ashamed he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Truly, there are always greater figures in the world!

“Fellow Daoist, may I ask for your name?”

Ouyang Feng called out loudly.

But unexpectedly.

Hong Qianye didn’t even acknowledge him; after eliminating Prince Zhen Nan, she teleported next to Ye Junlin and cupped her hands, saying, “Master.”

This scene nearly dropped everyone’s jaws!

“That elder is actually Ye Peak Master’s disciple?!”

“Holy crap! This is a Transformation Stage! When did Xuantian Sect have a Transformation Stage?!”

“Who the hell said Ye Peak Master was just at the Nascent Soul level? Can anyone stand up? I promise not to kill you!”

The cultivators of Arid Province were all ecstatic; this was indeed a huge surprise for them.

“Xuantian Sect is this strong?!” Ouyang Feng was astonished.

In his memory, Xuantian Sect was the weakest among the six great sects of Arid Province.

What the heck had happened to that sect while he was in seclusion?

“Little Derzi, you’d better give me an explanation.” Ouyang Feng said irritably to the Banshan Sect Master.

If he had known Xuantian Sect was so powerful, he wouldn’t have made such a show of himself!

In the face of the patriarch’s inquiry, the Banshan Sect Master looked utterly bewildered, “Patriarch, I really don’t know anything!”

Boom!

At that moment, Xu Yonian and the others from Xuantian Sect finally arrived on the scene.

“宗主 (Sect Master), you’re finally here; I was just about to call for you.” Ye Junlin smiled.

“Y-Ye Shizi (Ye Young Master), do you know what you’re doing?” Xu Yonian said anxiously, “That’s a person from Yuhua Sect! You should quickly run away; we will try to delay for you.”

“Yeah, as long as you’re here, Xuantian Sect stands a chance to recover; you must not get into trouble here.” Cangjian Peak Master said solemnly.

Ye Junlin smiled, understanding their intentions.

He didn’t directly reply but waved his hand. In the distance, a cloud of fog floated over, revealing a little girl standing on it, nervously bowing, “Zhao Ling’er pays her respects to all the seniors.”

“What’s this?”

Everyone was astonished.

“After I solved the issues in Wei Kingdom, I picked up this promising talent over there. She is the daughter of the Wei Emperor, possessing a top-tier water spirit root. I think she would be perfect for Tianxiang Peak.”

Ye Junlin said.

The Tianxiang Peak Master’s eyes lit up, growing more fond with every glance, “Zhao Ling’er, from now on, you’ll join Tianxiang Peak; quickly call your Master!”

“Master!”

Zhao Ling’er was very sensible, performing a respectful apprenticeship ceremony.

“This little girl truly has spirit!” the Tianxiang Peak Master was delighted.

“Congratulations on taking in such a fine disciple!” other peak masters cupped their hands to congratulate him.

Xu Yonian smiled, but then realized and stomped his feet in urgency, almost going crazy, “Ye Shizi! What are you doing at such a time? Do you really know how serious the situation is?!”

Just as Ye Junlin was about to speak, a terrifying killing intent enveloped them, sending chills down many in Xuantian Sect’s spines.

“You! And all of you! Must pay with your lives for my father!”

Chen Xiao’s pupils shone with golden light as he flashed above everyone’s heads, exuding a golden aura like a great sun in the sky.

“Elder Yan, should we take action?” an elder quietly asked the leading Elder Yan.

Because among them, he had the highest cultivation level and was the overall commander of this expedition!

Elder Yan waved his hand, “This is the Saint Son’s personal matter and should be handled by him. And this ragtag bunch is no match for the Saint Son.”

The Saint Son of Yuhua Sect was destined to be the strongest of the younger generation in the Eastern Domain, effortlessly sweeping this barren land!

“Ye Junlin, come accept your death!” Chen Xiao roared with the might of a dragon.

Ye Junlin scoffed, “Dare to challenge me? You’re not qualified!”

“Little Hong, go! Teach him a lesson!”

Hearing that,

Hong Qianye’s lips twitched a few times, feeling like this was a command to unleash the hounds.

But she had seen Ye Junlin’s means and naturally didn’t dare to defy him.

Whoosh!

Hong Qianye shot upwards rapidly, trailing brilliant flames that looked magnificent like a phoenix ascending to the heavens.

“Heh, coward!”

Chen Xiao sneered.

“Dealing with you doesn’t require my Master’s intervention!”

Hong Qianye said.

Gazing at her stunning face, even Chen Xiao, who had seen all sorts of beauties in Yuhua Sect, was captivated by her looks and aura.

In that instant, he felt a pang of compassion and said solemnly, “With your strength, why stay in a small sect and wait to die? If you’re willing to pledge allegiance, this Saint Son guarantees you will receive good treatment in Yuhua Sect!”

The cultivators of various forces wore strange expressions, knowing that Chen Xiao was smitten with the woman in red.

But such conditions were indeed very tempting!

After all, Xuantian Sect would surely be destroyed today, and finding an escape route was only normal.

“Not interested.”

Hong Qianye said indifferently.

“This lady, are you really not considering it again?” Chen Xiao’s expression darkened; he hadn’t expected her to be so resolute.

Upon hearing this form of address,

Hong Qianye’s eyes showed disdain as she sneered, “What my Master said is correct; your father is a fool, and so are you… a fool!”

Hearing this,

Chen Xiao’s forehead throbbed with veins as he released an overwhelming killing intent, coldly saying, “Well, very well, you all will die!”

Boom!

With a fist imbued with blinding golden light, he shattered the void and struck out fiercely, a surging magical power transforming into a golden dragon wrapping around him.

Hong Qianye made a hand sign, as she flicked her sleeve, a rain of descending flames covered the sky like a meteor shower.

Clang clang clang.

The golden fist imprint was instantly obliterated.

“Hmm?”

Chen Xiao was a bit surprised; the opponent easily broke his technique?

“Is that it?”

Hong Qianye scoffed.

“Don’t get too cocky; this is just the beginning!”

Chen Xiao’s face was full of rage, his whole body radiating blazing golden light, like a vibrant sun hanging in the sky, instilling fear in others.

The peak of the Transformation Stage was being revealed unquestionably!

Boom boom boom!

Interlacing golden fist imprints appeared like countless suns, releasing a crushing pressure.

“Strong!” Ouyang Feng was in shock, knowing he would be turned to dust with such an attack in the first round.

Not just him; even external Transformation Stage cultivators were terrified by Chen Xiao’s move, feeling a deep-rooted fear.

“The Saint Son is truly exceptional; this top-tier Heavenly Level Solar Fist, combined with his Solar Immortal Body, not to mention annihilating Transformation Stages, even ordinary Unity Stages would likely face catastrophe!”

Elder Yan chuckled.

The sound of an earth-shattering explosion rang out, shattering the sky for miles around.

“Humph, you forced me to do this.” Chen Xiao sneered; the next moment, his smile froze on his face, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints.

Ahead, a multicolored flame lotus had appeared out of nowhere, its petals fluttering open.

Hong Qianye stood amidst it, unscathed, looking at Chen Xiao with a mocking gaze.

“How is this possible?!”

Chen Xiao’s mind was shaken.

He had relied on this move to directly sweep through True Inheritance Disciples.

In terms of the same realm, he was virtually invincible!

Yet, the opponent had actually blocked it?!

“I don’t believe it; I have the aura of an Immortal! I am invincible among my peers!!”

Chen Xiao roared, crazily activating his Solar Immortal Body, an even more terrifying might erupting from him.

In an instant.

He surged forth with unmatched might, tearing open the sky as he charged!

“Croaker, I’ll let you see what it truly means to be invincible at the same level!”

Hong Qianye smirked; an evil idea suddenly flashed in her mind. She decided to completely crush his dignity in her own way.
