Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 218

At this moment, the Cangyuan Sword hung quietly above Ye Junlin’s head, enveloped in a golden glow, looking incredibly sacred.

Transforming from a True Immortal Level Magical Artifact to an Immortal Sovereign Level Magical Artifact, the increase in power was immense.

Ming Wanjun’s prideful Black Dragon Halberd instantly paled in comparison after the appearance of the Cangyuan Sword; it was like an ant meeting a giant.

Without even trying hard, the halberd was effortlessly deflected by the sword’s might.

This was the gap!

“How do you have an Immortal Sovereign Level Magical Artifact? That’s not fair!!” Ming Wanjun’s emotions were almost out of control, as he pulled out his most prized treasure, only to realize it was utterly insignificant in front of that youth.

That feeling? It was utterly frustrating.

His self-esteem shattered.

“You guess,” Ye Junlin chuckled.

“Wait a second, Fallen Immortal Island! You definitely got it from Fallen Immortal Island!” Ming Wanjun suddenly realized, shouting in disbelief.

That was the only explanation left.

“So that’s it.” The crowd was shocked, envy shining in their eyes.

“Ah, yes, yes, yes,”

Ye Junlin didn’t deny it.

Hey, it was just for fun.

“You admitted it! I knew it!” Seeing the youth admit it willingly, Ming Wanjun’s jealousy became unbearable, his heart twisted with resentment.

That was an Immortal Sovereign Level Magical Artifact, held by only a few powerful figures in the clan, each one of them a high and mighty character.

Who would have thought a native in this world would actually bring one out!

It was hard not to feel envious.

He was almost going insane!

“Humph, while an Immortal Sovereign Level Magical Artifact is indeed powerful, you with your meager Celestial Immortal cultivation will find it extremely difficult to wield it; I have tens of thousands of subordinates as assistance, and once I exhaust your Immortal Power, I am sure to win.”

“If you die, not only this magical artifact but everything from Fallen Immortal Island will belong to me!”

Fire and greed flickered in Ming Wanjun’s eyes, clouded by desire, as he thought that fortune favors the bold.

After all, behind him were eighty thousand True Immortal Level soldiers, a force trained by the Ming clan.

As soon as the clan’s battle formation was deployed, those eighty thousand True Immortals could act as one, their combined strength rivaling the elite among the Celestial Immortals.

In contrast, Ye Junlin could only fight alone, making Ming Wanjun think this battle was winnable!

“Mm, as long as you’re happy,” Ye Junlin looked at Ming Wanjun with the gaze one might give to an idiot.

Ming Wanjun’s temples throbbed as he raised the Black Dragon Halberd, screaming hysterically, “Everyone prepare, form the formation!!!”

“Kill!!”

Eighty thousand Ming clan soldiers, wielding magical artifacts, roared as they promptly moved to stand in their positions, unleashing the battle formations they had practiced countless times.

Booming…

At that moment, a torrent of terrifying killing aura surged from the formation, coalescing into dozens of enormous dark purple devouring serpents that twisted above the formation, their massive bodies swirling around, blood-red eyes brimming with murderous intent.

“Oh my God…” Countless onlookers shivered at the sight.

“Ye Junlin, die for me!”

Ming Wanjun pumped his surging Immortal Power into the Black Dragon Halberd, causing it to erupt with dragon-like radiant light, roaring as it charged towards its target.

Simultaneously, the devouring serpents spiraled forward, opening their cavernous jaws filled with jagged teeth, terrifying to behold.

Bang~!

Ye Junlin stomped his right foot down, causing an enormous formation to rise from the ground around him, isolating the cultivators behind him to prevent any collateral damage from the battle.

As they say, when immortals clash, mortals suffer.

This confrontation belonged to the realm of Immortals; even a ripple could unleash devastating destructive power.

Especially with several tens of thousands of Immortals involved!

Just imagining that scene was terrifying!

Booming~

Above the Yuhua Sect, shimmering bursts of light erupted.

“This!”

Ming Wanjun’s pupils contracted in horror as he witnessed the dragon-shaped radiance he unleashed being cleanly severed by a golden flying sword.

Swish, swish, swish, even the dozens of devouring serpents conjured by the Ming clan’s formation were cut down as swiftly and cleanly as slicing vegetables.

Ye Junlin, manipulating the Cangyuan Sword with his fingers, taunted, “If this is your level of ability, I might just be disappointed.”

At these words, Ming Wanjun nearly spat blood in anger.

“Very well, you’ve forced my hand…”

Ming Wanjun made up his mind, secretly signaling to his two deputy officers, “Take this chance to attack him with mental power techniques!”

Those two deputies were the highest-ranking in the army aside from Ming Wanjun.

Though they were considered ordinary Profound Immortals outside, they were suppressed to Celestial Immortal First Stage in the Kunlun Realm, but they had a hidden identity that countless Immortals envied and feared.

They were Mental Power Cultivators!

Mental Power Cultivators specialized in enhancing their mental power, which served as a lethal weapon capable of taking lives invisibly.

This path had a high threshold and was very difficult; it required enormous time and energy.

Most cultivators would not choose this path intentionally because, without talent or opportunity, all the effort would be wasted.

But if one could truly become a Mental Power Cultivator, their value would soar far beyond that of ordinary cultivators.

Mental Power Cultivators focused on using their mental power as weaponry to attack others’ minds.

One strike, and they could leave gracefully, or fail and suffer backlash, seriously injuring themselves.

It was extremely extreme!

So, even for those dedicated to this path, they would not easily unleash mental power techniques unless they were certain of a 100% success.

Ming Wanjun’s two deputies were among his most effective trump cards, sometimes able to turn the tide in dire situations with a single strike!

Now, facing this formidable foe, Ming Wanjun secretly commanded the other deputy to team up, intending to catch Ye Junlin off guard.

In Ming Wanjun’s view, Ye Junlin was a Celestial Immortal level powerhouse, so his mental power would be around thirty ranks, normally nearing forty ranks; he could not possibly compare with his two deputies.

After all, those two had reached sixty-nine ranks in mental power, just shy of the Immortal Sovereign level threshold!

Not to mention, under this background of laws suppressing conditions, being a Mental Power Cultivator was a boon, as they faced no limitations in this respect.

After all, their greatest reliance was their mental power, not their own cultivation level!

“Yes, Commander.”

After receiving Ming Wanjun’s transmission, the two Mental Power Cultivators who had been watching quietly suddenly had terrifying gleams in their eyes and sadistic smiles on their lips, looking at Ye Junlin as if he were prey.

They could hardly wait to unleash their mental power techniques, hoping to collapse this young man’s mind and turn him into a mindless fool.

At this moment, Ye Junlin was focused on controlling the flying sword, severing the oncoming devouring serpents; to be fair, at his current cultivation level, he indeed was unable to fully exert the power of the Immortal Sovereign Level Magical Artifact, but his physique far surpassed that of an ordinary Celestial Immortal, allowing him to handle it with ease.

In contrast, if any regular Celestial Immortal were in his place, they would exhaust their Immortal Power in a round and struggle to continue.

Suddenly.

Ye Junlin noticed two Ming clan cultivators acting strangely; they not only closed their eyes and pressed their fingers on pressure points around their eyes but also wore cruel smiles.

“Strange, could it be they’re doing……..”

“Eye exercises?”
