Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 231

Feeling the target was actually getting closer, a deafening explosion erupted from the tribulation clouds, as if the heavens were fuming with rage over the provocation from mere ants.

Boom!

The next moment, a chaotic thunderball with a width of hundreds of thousands of feet crashed down, seemingly intent on annihilating everything in existence, its might boundless.

This heavenly thunder’s power could slay an Immortal King!

Clearly, the tribulation adjusted its force according to the target’s realm. To it, Ye Junlin was merely a Celestial Immortal, yet it was specially unleashing heavenly thunder strong enough to kill an Immortal King—talk about using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!

“Master!”

“Junior Brother Ye!”

…

Panic-stricken cries erupted all around.

Everyone looked worried, believing that the silver-haired young man was on the brink of perishing under the heavenly tribulation.

“Come at me!”

Feeling the immense pressure enveloping him, Ye Junlin activated his passive ability that grew stronger in the face of danger, his aura skyrocketing in an instant, his long silver hair flying wildly as he coldly raised his hand.

Rumbling sounds like a grinding stone echoed, and suddenly, a colossal white hand of light emerged from the void, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles and erupting with billions of dazzling sacred radiances.

This was a skill granted by the Supreme Bone, an upgraded version of the heavenly tribulation light, known as the Hand of the Heavens!

Amidst countless shocked gazes, this enormous white hand flicked its fingers, effortlessly knocking the chaotic thunderball away, which then smashed back into the vast tribulation clouds, releasing a cataclysmic storm of black and white lightning.

Boom…

The explosive sound reverberated across tens of millions of miles, countless bolts of lightning twisting in the depths of the sky before slowly fading away.

“How could this be?!” The beings in the courtyard trembled in fear.

“Did I just see that right? Ye Island Lord actually blocked the tribulation’s attack?” The little donkey’s eyes bulged as he exclaimed.

“I can feel it; that chaotic heavenly thunder is enough to kill an Immortal King, yet it was effortlessly neutralized by Ye Island Lord. Is he even stronger than an Immortal King?” The old hen looked uncertain.

“Everyone, don’t forget, the tribulation represents the will of this world. If Ye Island Lord’s realm is higher than an Immortal King, then the tribulation will proportionally increase its power to ensure crushing dominance—there’s no chance of defeat here.”

The willow tree struggled to accept this unbelievable phenomenon as it shattered its conventional understanding.

How on earth is this happening?

Outside,

At that moment, everyone’s expressions froze on their faces, their mouths agape wide enough to fit an ostrich egg!

What’s going on?

They clearly sensed that the chaotic thunderball possessed terrifying lethality, capable of easily flattening the Arid Province.

Yet, it was just flicked away like a feather!

This defiant act was unbelievable; one might think a child was casually flicking marbles!

The impacted tribulation clouds gathered again, and this time, they expanded even larger, the thunder roaring like the wrath of the heavens, as if the sky itself had been thoroughly provoked and was about to unleash a cataclysmic punishment!

The thunderclouds brimmed with blinding lightning, millions of chaotic bolts brewing madly, with an even greater force locked onto Ye Junlin.

“Ha ha, what other tricks do you have? Bring them on.”

With the previous success under his belt, Ye Junlin felt more secure. Facing the now-increasingly powerful tribulation, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

Boom!

The tribulation was furious. Since ancient times, no being had dared to disrespect it like this; such a provocation was grievous.

Who would have thought that today, such an anomaly would arise?

Daring to challenge it directly!

Though it had suffered an unexpected setback earlier, losing face, it quickly adjusted its attack power, aiming to annihilate this obnoxious human race!

Roar~!

From the immense tribulation clouds, a dignified tiger roar and dragon roar suddenly echoed, as a black dragon-shaped lightning and a white tiger-shaped lightning emerged, exuding an incomprehensible chaotic aura.

The dragon-shaped lightning swirled in the air while the tiger-shaped lightning roared defiantly, brimming with majesty.

Swish!

Then, the two bolts of dragon and tiger lightning launched a coordinated attack towards the young man below.

To put it bluntly, even a hundred thousand Immortal Sovereigns teaming up would be shredded by these two bolts of lightning!

Boom! A pressure even stronger than before descended, and Ye Junlin’s gaze intensified; this would only make him stronger.

Law of Heaven and Earth!

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Junlin unleashed this divine ability, his body momentarily expanding to an immeasurable size, the mountains and rivers on his skin mere lines.

At this instant, he stood in the void like a giant towering above, an overwhelming sense of pressure emanating from him, his eyes shimmering like the cosmos itself.

At that moment, an ear-piercing tiger roar reverberated nearby, and Ye Junlin kicked out like a swinging dragon’s tail, fiercely targeting the tiger-shaped lightning.

“Take that!”

A series of explosions erupted in the air, creating a stunning visual spectacle.

Boom! The tiger-shaped lightning took the brunt of the kick, flying straight back, flickering with unstable lightning, showing signs of collapse.

But at that moment, the black dragon-shaped lightning howled as it lunged towards Ye Junlin, its mouth opening wide like a mysterious black hole, countless chaotic bolts of lightning crisscrossing inside.

If even an Immortal Sovereign-level being encountered this, they would surely be absorbed into oblivion.

“Get lost!”

To his surprise, Ye Junlin glanced sideways and unceremoniously gave it a hefty slap!

Smack!

The dragon-shaped lightning was heavily smacked, its massive force almost obliterating its head, shrieking as it flew back, crackling with lightning all over its body.

“This…” The crowd’s scalp went numb, their eyes nearly bursting.

The battle was not yet over; both the dragon and tiger bolts of chaotic lightning regrouped, claws bared, rushing towards Ye Junlin.

“Still not learning your lesson, huh?” Ye Junlin chuckled coldly, flashing to the tiger-shaped lightning’s overhead and stomped down heavily.

Bang!

His foot radiated the essence of the Great Dao, shattering the tiger-shaped lightning into pieces.

Then, he raised his hand into a fist, and a brilliant fist light shot out, landing solidly on the dragon-shaped lightning’s head, tearing its body apart inch by inch as if it had never existed.

Under Ye Junlin’s punches and kicks, both the dragon and tiger bolts of chaotic lightning were completely annihilated.

They vanished entirely in the air.

This process was simple and brutal, with no suspense whatsoever!

Cough cough!

At this moment, Ye Junlin cleared his throat intentionally, clasped his hands behind his back, swayed his head, and slowly said: “When the dragon doesn’t roar, and the tiger doesn’t roar, this little lightning tribulation is laughable, truly laughable~”

“Hiss!”

“Hiss!”

“Hiss!”

As those words left his mouth, gasps of astonishment echoed around.

The crowd’s expressions were priceless.

“Holy crap, is this guy for real?!”

“Learning something new here; can tribulations really be defeated?”

“Go Ye, Junior Brother!”

…

Li Wujie’s face flushed with excitement, his breath quickening as he muttered, “My previous guess was indeed correct.”

His Master was undoubtedly an omnipotent Immortal Emperor; otherwise, how could he possess such miraculous powers?

Hong Qianye gazed at that magnificent figure, her mind going blank, stuck in her throat, unable to utter a word.

In the past, she had never believed anyone could resist the tribulation since it represented the will of the entire world, the rules set by the Dao of Heaven!

But everything happening now had completely overturned her fixed notions.

It turned out that true strong ones never complain about their environment!

If you can’t do it,

It’s because you’re not good enough!

“Look, the tribulation clouds are dissipating!”

Suddenly, many elders and disciples were astonished to find the huge mass of tribulation clouds that had been looming above vanishing at a visible rate.

The sky was clear, and the sun shone brightly.

“What’s going on? Did the tribulation just voluntarily give up?”

“Haha, Ye Peak Master is awesome; even the tribulation has to bow down to him!”

“Is that really the case? I feel something’s off, like a storm is looming!”

“Shut your crow’s lips!”

The crowd babbled excitedly, filled with surprise at this bizarre phenomenon.

“Phew,” Hong Qianye let out a long sigh of relief. Although she hadn’t successfully crossed the tribulation, she had at least saved her life. As long as she was alive, there would always be a chance for immortality.

Gazing at Ye Junlin’s back, Hong Qianye felt deeply moved, wanting to say something.

Suddenly, thundering sounds returned from above, an unprecedented sense of pressure filled the air, as if a great terror was about to emerge!

“What’s this?”

Hong Qianye felt a chill run down her spine and looked up, her pupils constricting in horror, her heart nearly stopping, as if gripped by an invisible hand.

In the vast heavens, the previously dissipated dark tribulation clouds reappeared, rapidly gathering into an unprecedented scale.

It turned out that the tribulation hadn’t disappeared but had passively escalated to a new level.

Boom!

Terrifying divine might instantly enveloped the entire Eastern Domain, sending shivers down everyone’s spine. At that moment, they felt a deep, looming dread crashing over them.

“What’s happening?!”

The cultivators turned pale, one after another looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with fear, almost overflowing.

It was as if the heavens had been thoroughly enraged, ready to unleash infinite wrath!

“That direction is where Senior Ye of the Xuantian Sect is!” The white-clad Xue Wuhen gazed at the horizon, his brows twitching, eyes brimming with incredulity.

What on earth is happening?

Inside the tribulation clouds,

A human shape composed of black and white lightning condensed, surrounded by the life and death of chaotic energy. Wearing an imperial crown atop its head, it walked with hands behind its back, coldly looking down upon the myriad beings below, viewing every living creature as mere ants.

The aura it emanated was terrifying,

So terrifying it was despair-inducing!

Even the laws of heaven and earth trembled before it!

In the small courtyard,

The willow tree appeared stricken by lightning, exclaiming: “This is the final embodiment of the heavenly tribulation! It can slay all Immortal Emperors!”
