Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 212

“It’s over, we’re dead for sure,” countless cultivators said, their faces ashen and filled with despair.

Because of the Underworld Abyss’s self-destruction, their bones would also disintegrate into nothingness.

Of course, this expedition into the Underworld would go down in history, and all participating cultivators would be memorialized by future generations for their contributions.

But let’s be real—it’s not just about eradicating the Underworld for good; if you look at it another way, they were just set up to be buried alongside it!

“In the end, it’s all for nothing,” King Dāngyōu looked at the collapsing world with unparalleled sorrow, after all, this was his home, destroyed by others.

“Maybe I shouldn’t have participated in this plan. I should have stayed here with my people, but now that it’s come to this, I bear some responsibility. I owe them that!” Facing death, King Dāngyōu suddenly felt a pang of guilt, repenting for his actions.

Partnering with the Underworld clan was like inviting a wolf into the house.

Unfortunately, he had been blinded by ambition, wanting a piece of the pie in this chaotic situation, never expecting it would turn out like this.

“Master, what are we going to do?” Old Liu said anxiously.

Wan Changwei looked grim, “You ask me? Who am I supposed to ask? Should I go ask Lai Fu?”

Old Liu: “…”

Boom!

At this moment, the sky was collapsing, the ground was caving in, and all life was about to vanish, to be extinguished in this world.

There truly was no way up to the heavens, no door down to the earth!

Despair’s aura spread in all directions.

The Kunpeng swayed nervously, letting out agitated cries.

On a small island, the pot-covered head youth looked up at the collapsing sky, shook his head, and sighed helplessly,

“Ah,”

Then, he felt compelled to jump back into the pit and buried himself, leaving only his head exposed, quietly waiting for death.

“Ratty can’t stop!”

Seeing this, Bai Xiaoxi reacted and continued to gloat over food, enjoying the last moments of being a foodie; she wanted to die in the most comfortable way possible.

Everyone else fell into despair, convinced this time would definitely mean their doom.

“Ye Junlin, have you gone blind? This is what you get for pushing me to the edge! Even if you kill me now, it won’t change the fact that the Underworld is going to be destroyed!”

Mingye laughed maniacally, his laughter filled with schadenfreude and a bleak sense of impending death.

He didn’t want to die like this, but the situation left him no choice, and he could only use this method to grasp for his last breath.

“After this battle, the Underworld clan’s future dominance over the Eastern Domain will have my indelible merit—worth it, totally worth it!”

In this scenario,

Ye Junlin frowned, “You little brat, how can you be so unscrupulous?”

It was just me beating you like a dog; is there a need to act so desperate?

Impetuous, way too impetuous!

Faced with the dire situation, Ye Junlin pondered for a moment before raising his hand.

Swish!

The power of heaven and earth swirled around the Eastern Domain’s coalition, a super gigantic formation materialized in an instant, and countless mysterious runes appeared like tadpoles, radiating brilliant light.

“This, this is a teleportation formation?!” Mingye was struck by lightning.

Able to set up a teleportation formation with a wave of his hand, such a feat could only be achieved by a Heavenly Formation Master.

And with such a scale and speed of formation, Mingye estimated that even the six-rank formation master from his clan couldn’t do it. Could it be that this guy named Ye is actually a Nine-rank Heavenly Formation Master?!!

If that’s the case…

Mingye didn’t dare to think further and rushed over to destroy it, but Ye Junlin waved his hand, sending him flying into the ruins of the royal city.

Ye Junlin sneered, “Just you? Stay here and wait for death!”

Then, Ye Junlin flashed to the teleportation formation, infusing it with immortal power to activate the teleportation!

Whoosh!

The teleportation formation burst forth with immeasurable light, set to carry everyone away over a distance.

“Wait for me, wait for me!”

Wan Changwei, panicking, rushed over, crying out with a mournful face, “Actually, I’m here for a spy mission; everything was just an act, my heart has always been with you!”

Inside the light curtain, Ye Junlin sighed, “Changwei, remember this for next life: don’t mess with Lai Fu again.”

Wan Changwei: “?”

Who the heck is this Lai Fu, anyway?

Swish!

The teleportation formation vanished.

In the ruins, a purple-haired youth lay drenched in blood, staring blankly at the sky.

He laughed, then cried, his sobs extremely ugly.

What does a total defeat look like?

This is it!

Memories flashed through Mingye’s mind like a slideshow.

He was one of the young elites in the Underworld clan; though he had some fame, he was far from the top. He yearned to prove himself, gain a bright future, and win respect. Later, upon learning that the Kunlun Realm was experiencing a revival, the clan began discussing who to send on missions. He volunteered, wanting to be a pioneer and lay the foundation for Underworld’s dominance in the Eastern Domain. If successful, the glory would be unparalleled; he could not only secure opportunities early but also receive rich rewards from the clan.

He thought he could achieve fame and become a prodigy second only to the young clan leader—or even surpass him!

Unfortunately, he ended up facing his greatest enemy, who shattered his dreams of rising to power with overwhelming strength.

He was filled with hate, really filled with hate!

Mingye closed his eyes filled with resentment, tears slipping down his face; if time could turn back, he would never accept this task no matter what.

With such a terrifying monster in charge, let alone the Underworld clan, other ancient starry tribes considering invading the Kunlun Realm would surely end up with their heads broken and their outcomes tragic.

“Ye Junlin, if I become a ghost, I won’t let you off…”

Soon after,

The entire world collapsed entirely, and all life was instantaneously extinguished!

The cries ceased abruptly, plunging into eternal silence.

And outside, a super gigantic teleportation formation suddenly appeared, shining brilliantly. After the light dispersed, a throng of cultivators emerged.

They materialized not far from the entrance to the Underworld.

But now, what Underworld was there?

The whirlpool had long since disappeared, as if it had never existed.

“Holy crap! We’re actually alive!” someone exclaimed.

“It was Ye the Immortal who personally set the formation; he got us all out!” another elder said excitedly.

“How the heck was this done? Even a nine-rank formation master couldn’t compare, right?” a man said in shock.

“Nine-rank formation master? What’s that even mean? Didn’t you hear that Underworld guy shout that Ye the Immortal is a Heavenly Formation Master?”

“By the way, what level is a Heavenly Formation Master? I’ve never heard of that before!”

“Who cares, as long as it’s super impressive!”

Surrounding chatter converged as everyone, having survived an ordeal, felt extremely grateful.

“Senior Ye, your immense grace; we’ll remember it forever!” Looking at the young man, Xue Wuhen’s face was full of admiration; how could there be such a powerful, all-capable existence in the world?

Truly, there are people beyond people, heavens beyond heaven!

Being an immortal, why could you showcase it like this?

You’re making me feel all tingly!

“Ye the Immortal, we will forever remember your kindness!” The cultivators came to their senses and bowed in unison.

Respectful voices echoed into the skies, hearts genuinely in awe.

“No need for such formalities,” Ye Junlin waved with a smile.

Reaching the level of a Heavenly Formation Master allows one to harness the powers of heaven and earth to form formations out of thin air; aside from a few formations requiring specific materials, most can be set up with just a wave of the finger, especially since he’s the top-tier Nine-rank Heavenly Formation Master!

No wonder Heavenly Formation Masters are so revered; even Immortal Kings must treat them with respect, as they hold immense strategic value. After all, who wouldn’t fear an army that could appear and disappear at will?

If Heavenly Formation Masters are this great, it’s unimaginable what a Dao Formation Master can do!

Thinking back to the twists and turns in the Underworld, Ye Junlin caressed his chin, savoring it carefully.

Let’s just say it was indeed perilous; the traps set by the enemy were practically seamless, undeniably the strongest killing move on the surface.

But too bad, he was in the atmosphere…
