Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 139

“What’s with that look? You disrespecting my Ah Kun?” Ye Junlin’s face darkened.

The Kunpeng was just as furious, puffed up and glaring at the arrogant youth decked out in golden armor.

Chen Xiao sneered, “Stop using your mount to insult me! Do you think I, Chen Xiao, am some average Joe? To compare with your shameless mount? It’ll ruin my reputation if word gets out!”

Ye Junlin mocked, “Just admit you’re scared. No need for excuses. After all, you couldn’t even beat my disciple back then. Now you want to challenge me? You’re only fit to fight my mount.”

“You—!”

Chen Xiao was already fuming, and hearing those words made him even angrier. That crushing defeat still haunted him, reopening wounds he’d rather keep hidden.

“Hmph.” Hong Qianye crossed her arms, smirking mockingly, the combination of her beauty and demeanor a serious insult to any male.

It was as though she was saying: You can’t do it!

Feeling the judgmental glares from numerous onlookers, Chen Xiao felt a surge of rage. With a roar, he exerted all his strength and shouted, “Ah Kun, right? Let’s do this!!”

Boom…

A golden sun burst into the sky, radiating dazzling light and overwhelming brilliance.

In that blinding orb of light, Chen Xiao donned his golden armor, hair flowing like a halo, exuding an aura of divine authority that was both captivating and frightening.

He seemed to transform into a shining sun, illuminating everything!

“Ah Kun, you’ve been with me for two and a half years. It’s your turn to shine!” Ye Junlin said solemnly.

The Kunpeng let out an excited roar so loud it made the disciples and elders of Wendaozong’s heads buzz.

Swish!

It flapped its wings, stirring mighty gusts of wind, charging forward with unparalleled force capable of pushing over mountains.

“Saint Son, watch out! That beast is a descendant of the ancient divine beast Kunpeng!” Old Liu’s expression turned grave.

After all, this was the legendary Kunpeng. Even in its juvenile form, its destructive power was unimaginable to human cultivators. Battling it would be like eating or drinking for the strong!

So, while Old Liu wasn’t entirely sure about the outcome, there was nothing left to do but watch and wait.

“Grand Sun Punch!”

Chen Xiao’s fist radiated an incredible glow, brimming with terrifying power. As he swung his fist down, it was like a brilliant sun rapidly descending, emitting heat capable of incinerating everything.

This was a high-tier martial technique. Chen Xiao not only mastered it but showed signs of having perfected it, combined with his Solar Body, making his offensive unmatched.

Boom!!!

The sheer explosion from both sides was extraordinary, with colossal energy waves rampaging fiercely, filling the air with a destructive aura.

Countless people were left dumbfounded, their hearts pounding in their chests.

Witnessing the clash between two Tribulation Stage cultivators at such close range was a visually shocking experience.

“You beast! Watch how this Saint Son subdues you!” Chen Xiao roared in fury against the tremendous resistance he felt, his anger boiling over.

He formed seals with his hands, creating countless gleaming mirrors scattered everywhere. Each mirror shimmered with golden light, a deadly aura overshadowing the Kunpeng.

“Mirror Kill!”

An icy-cold voice echoed as every mirror reflected golden beams of light, launching devastating attacks that swept towards the massive beast.

A series of explosions erupted like fireworks, dazzling and overwhelming.

“Ha ha ha, how do you like this taste?” Chen Xiao cackled wickedly.

He had specifically targeted the Kunpeng’s massive size, unleashing indiscriminate harm with wide-reaching attacks.

Even if its physical defenses were strong, could they withstand such relentless bombardment?

As the Kunpeng became engulfed in the exploding light, Chen Xiao knew he had the upper hand. He quickly repeated the Mirror Kill.

Swish swish swish! More ancient mirrors formed in batches, glimmering with golden light, constantly gathering and shooting out golden light beams at the target.

Boom! Boom!

The spheres of light in the sky blazed brightly, exploding like countless suns, illuminating everything so fiercely that it was hard to even open one’s eyes.

“No wonder General Chen, who roams the lands, inspires such fear in countless Alien Races with this level of power!”

“Unbelievable! He can even suppress a descendant of the ancient divine beast! He’s a model for us all!”

“Saint Son is invincible!!” (voice cracking)

Seeing this, many couldn’t help but be awed by Chen Xiao’s might, especially his accompanying entourage, who erupted in cheers.

“Master, Ah Kun is in danger!” Bai Xiaoxi said anxiously.

“Don’t worry! Ah Kun is perfectly fine,” Ye Junlin chuckled.

The Kunpeng was bound to him by the system, so he could sense its life signs at all times. Just like now, he could feel that the Kunpeng was safe, experiencing only a little turbulence.

Inside the exploding light…

The massive figure seemed to have vanished without a trace.

“Hmm?” Chen Xiao focused his Divine Sense, searching carefully but finding no sign of the Kunpeng.

“Could it be I blew it up?!” Chen Xiao exclaimed, ecstatic and full of himself, realizing his strength had reached such heights that even the Kunpeng, with its ancient divine beast bloodline, had been obliterated?

“Ye Junlin, I’m really sorry, but I think I accidentally killed your mount! Hahaha…”

Chen Xiao laughed maniacally, his laughter filled with triumph and mockery.

“Oh, really?” Ye Junlin replied, a playful glint in his eyes.

Swish!

Suddenly, a small child appeared, moving at lightning speed and darting right in front of Chen Xiao.

With a perfect middle part hairstyle and an adorable child-like face, his eyes sparkled like gems, looking harmless and innocent.

“Bad guy, check out my Kun Punch!”

The high-pitched voice rang out, filled with determination.

His pale little fist struck like a bolt of lightning, plain and unadorned, yet carrying an ancient and mysterious aura, landing squarely on Chen Xiao’s abdomen.

Boom!

He soared away, crashing through several titanic mountains, dust and debris scattering, leaving behind astonishing destruction.

“Damn it, I let my guard down.”

Chen Xiao struggled to his feet, blood mixing with a taste of crushed organs spilling from his throat, looking at his attacker with incredulity, “You… who are you…”

The boy, with his middle-part hairstyle, looked down at the disheveled youth, appearing like a mere child yet radiating the menacing aura of a fierce beast, containing explosive power within.

In response to the question, the boy proudly declared, “Can’t you tell? I’m Ah Kun, who’s been following my master for two and a half years!”
