Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 324

“Die! Just die already!” The Chess Sage screamed hysterically, his eyes blood-red and horrifying.

As he continuously burned his essence and lifespan, even if he somehow survived today, it would be impossible for him to make any further progress in cultivation. His fate awaited him, still extremely bleak.

But with nowhere else to turn, the Chess Sage had only one thought in his mind: to kill Ye Junlin and avenge himself!

Staring at the terrifying explosion of light, Lin Duxiu and the others were parched and shivering, “Senior Ye, he…”

“Don’t worry, my Master will be fine!” Li Wujie waved his hand nonchalantly, “It’s just a minor incident, a small scene.”

He looked like someone who had seen it all before.

Such a reaction left everyone else feeling embarrassed.

Is this really a minor incident?

Are you serious?

Suddenly, the explosion of light vanished in an instant.

A young man, wielding a flying sword, stepped out with eyes dazzling bright, long white hair flying with the wind, surrounded by blazing light that seemed to form golden battle armor, exuding both nobility and a domineering aura.

This was the protective battle armor evolved from the Indestructible Dominating Body Technique!

The might of the earlier explosion had been completely endured!

This was also the first time Ye Junlin fully utilized the perfect results of the Indestructible Dominating Body Technique.

“How… how is this possible?!” The Chess Sage gasped in shock.

You have to know.

What he unleashed was a combination killing move, absolutely terrifying in its power. Below the Immortal Emperor level, anyone who took on such damage would definitely not walk away unscathed.

Even if you didn’t die, you’d lose half your life!

Yet now, not only did Ye Junlin emerge unscathed, but the shock of it all struck the Chess Sage’s heart deeply.

As a human, why can you be this tough?

There were no flaws at all!

“Could it be that Situ Yan was telling the truth? This guy was really the strongest Immortal Emperor before? Otherwise, how could you explain his immense strength?”

The Chess Sage was almost on the verge of a breakdown, drowning in self-doubt.

Apart from the ancient mighty beings, what qualifications did these later generations have to reach such heights?

But here’s the catch: he had never heard of Ye Tian Emperor before, and he felt no aura unique to a revivalist from him…

“Kill!”

Ye Junlin flew forward, sword tip aimed directly at the Chess Sage.

“Place a Piece to Make Soldiers!”

The Chess Sage waved his hand, scattering a handful of black and white chess pieces. The black and white pieces transformed into armored warriors, wielding weapons to charge at Ye Junlin.

The battle cries were deafening, morale high.

“Childish, still using a sea of soldiers tactic at a time like this?”

Seeing the overwhelming army charging in, Ye Junlin dismissively waved his long sword, its light darting like a dragon, dominating the space.

In less than two breaths, the densely packed soldiers were annihilated.

“Die!”

A golden rainbow-like light shot straight at the Chess Sage.

The Chess Sage’s face reflected terror as he watched the sword light approach, his entire being utterly obliterated.

“I won!”

Lin Duxiu and the others shouted excitedly.

They gazed in awe at the figure holding the sword.

Qin Ruyan was startled at first, then suddenly noticed something, pointing in a direction and exclaiming, “Wait! That little soldier is suspicious!”

“Huh?”

Hong Qianye also looked over, puzzled, “That old geezer should be dead, so why can that armored soldier still run?”

Indeed.

One of the chess pieces transformed into an armored soldier, and instead of joining the army to charge at Ye Junlin, was running frantically in the opposite direction.

“Oh man! Don’t tell me that’s that old guy in disguise!” Li Wujie exclaimed.

Ye Junlin clicked his tongue, “Quite a few tricks up your sleeve, but what use is it?”

With that, he made a hand gesture and urged the Cangyuan Sword, sending a golden light shooting forth.

The golden light split the air with tremendous might.

The distant armored soldier continued to sprint, his face turning old and his eyes full of panic.

This was the Chess Sage’s backup plan, called Chess Piece Clone; the body that just died was merely one of his clones.

The real him had disguised himself as a small soldier and had long since slipped away in the chaos.

“This is terrifying, absolutely no weaknesses.”

“This is a monster!”

“Perhaps Situ Yan was right; that guy’s former self was indeed an Immortal Emperor. Only that level of existence could display such terrifying strength at the Immortal King realm.”

The Chess Sage’s mind was a mess, and after experiencing the recent crushing defeat, he had nearly convinced himself of Ye Tian Emperor’s identity…

Swish~!

Suddenly, the sound of the flying sword whooshed from behind, a sense of oppression falling upon the Chess Sage.

“No! Don’t!”

“I don’t want to die yet!”

The Chess Sage cried out, his heart flooded with fear of death like a roaring flood. Seeing a rushing river ahead, driven by the instinct to survive, he leaped high, trying to dive in to escape with the current.

In a split second.

Just as the Chess Sage’s front foot entered the river, the back foot was caught up by the flying sword.

“Ah!!!”

His scream was abruptly cut off.

Red immortal blood spread out, turning the river boiling hot as the Chess Sage was slain by the flying sword.

This also marked the fall of the last Chess Sage from the ancient era of the Kunlun Realm!

I must say, regardless of his technique or escape methods, the Chess Sage was impressive.

Prior to this, he had already reached the pinnacle of the Immortal King tier, but unfortunately, he stumbled upon a man with no flaws!

“Finally, it’s over.” Everyone rushed to the riverbank, looking at the roaring river, unable to help but sigh.

That old man really knew how to stir things up!

“Ahem.” Ji Baxiao cleared his throat and with deep emotion said to the figure in the sky, “Senior Ye, this situation I find myself in, my admiration for you is like this endless river, unceasing, just like a flood that cannot be contained!”

Hong Qianye and the others rolled their eyes; what a flatterer!

Little did they know, Ye Junlin had no mood to acknowledge him.

At this moment, Ye Junlin furrowed his brow, staring at the ever-flowing river with a look of confusion,

“Strange, where’s my sword?”

Indeed, after the Cangyuan Sword killed the Chess Sage and entered the water, it had yet to return, as if it had lost all connection, sinking like a stone.

What on earth?

That was an Ultimate Immortal King Level Magical Artifact, his signature weapon. How could he lose it at such a critical moment?

He had to find it!

With that thought in mind, Ye Junlin was about to jump into the river to investigate.

Suddenly.

The river emitted a dazzling white light, blindingly bright.

Splash~

An elegantly dressed scholar-like old man floated to the surface, his face kind and amiable, exuding a holy aura. In each hand, he held an identical Cangyuan Sword, radiating astonishing immortal power.

“Young friend~”

“Do you not know whether you dropped this Ultimate Immortal King Level Flying Sword, or this Ultimate Immortal Emperor Level Flying Sword?”
