Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 332

Blood Slayer was in a complete panic now, no longer the resolute fighter he had been at the beginning.

All his confidence had been shattered by that punch!

It was an absolute overpowering force that left him without a shred of courage to fight back!

“Run!”

A single thought flashed through his mind.

Blood Slayer gritted his teeth, fueling his body with blood essence, transforming into a fiery crimson flash, frantically flying away into the distance.

He was as fast as a newly minted Immortal Emperor!

If this had been the past, he might have managed to escape by a stroke of luck. But unfortunately, Ye Junlin was not the same as before, having cultivated Nine-Grade Immortal Power, and now the power of his techniques had significantly amplified.

“I want to see whether you’re faster or my sword is faster!”

Ye Junlin sneered, making a decisive gesture with one hand.

Whoosh!

The golden flying sword soared out like a dragon, its sharp whoosh resounding through the heavens.

Boom!

A tremendous aura swept across the surroundings, the air rippling as if it couldn’t withstand the pressure radiating from the sword.

In the midst of countless shocked gazes, that dazzling golden beam spiraled through the sky, transforming into a roaring golden dragon, brimming with imposing might!

“Not good!”

Blood Slayer, fantasizing about escaping, felt a wave of icy dread wash over him, his scalp nearly splitting with fear. He couldn’t dare look back and had to flap his wings, desperately trying to increase the distance, terrified that any delay would lead to a miserable end.

The great terror behind him drew closer, wrapping around him like a curse. No matter how he altered his flight path, the flying sword locked onto his form mercilessly.

“Don’t come near! Stay away from me!”

Blood Slayer’s spirit shattered, his voice hoarse, eyes wide with despair, fear of death flooding his mind.

Boom!

Finally, that brilliant golden sword strike smashed into him, golden sword qi piercing the sky like a pillar.

In the sky, a dazzling explosion of light erupted, revealing the outline of his shattered form slowly dissipating bit by bit.

Blood Slayer desperately tried to struggle, but soon realized his self-healing ability couldn’t keep up with the destruction, and could only wail in despair and pain.

“Aaaaah…”

The scream was chillingly piercing, sending shivers down spines.

After a dozen seconds, the sky gradually cleared, leaving only a golden sword standing upright, still exuding lingering power.

As for Blood Slayer, he had long since vanished!

Not a shred of residue remained!

Silence.

A deathly stillness.

Countless cultivators gaped, staring blankly, their minds replaying the stunning scene, unable to move on.

“He just died like that?”

Canglang Jun swallowed hard, managing to speak.

After all, that was a member of the Undying Blood Clan!

At the pinnacle of Immortal King level, supported by his racial talents, how many cultivators of the same tier could possibly stop him if he wanted to escape?

Even if injured during flight, he would quickly heal, keeping himself at peak condition.

And yet, just like that, he was taken out with one sword?!

Absurd…

With a slicing sound, the flying sword turned around and came back.

“Return!”

Ye Junlin waved his sleeve, looking impossibly cool.

Seeing him act so nonchalantly, one might think he’d just taken down a chicken.

“Senior Ye’s might is unmatched, his Immortal Power boundless!” Ji Baxiao directly knelt down, looking like he was worshipping a deity, face flushed with excitement as he shouted.

In his eyes, that young man was an invincible existence.

“Is it really reasonable for his strength to be this overwhelming?” Lin Duxiu mumbled.

Suddenly, he recalled the various tales about Ye Junlin that Liu Qingming had shared in the Xuantian Holy Land.

Like, he had killed a million Immortals with a single sword strike, or forced away a heavenly tribulation, as well as suppressing dark turmoil, and so on.

Lin Duxiu hadn’t believed it before.

But now, it all seemed quite plausible!

“Ye Tian Emperor…” Gazing at that unbeatable figure, Lin Duxiu felt an unprecedented doubt surging in his heart, beginning to question this identity.

Only such an overwhelmingly powerful background could explain why this person had such boundary-defying strength even as an Immortal King!

“This is simply unbelievable…”

Qin Ruyan stood lost in thought, unable to describe the shock she felt.

Initially, she had assumed that no matter how strong Ye Junlin was, he would have to face a tough battle to overcome Blood Slayer, who possessed lord-level qualifications. Even if he ultimately won, it would be a narrow victory.

But the fight ended way too quickly, from start to finish it was a total one-sided crushing, with absolutely no suspense.

It was clear they weren’t even on the same level!

“Hah, did you see that? No matter how strong an opponent is, they’re just trash in my Master’s eyes!” Li Wujie said proudly.

With that tone and posture, one might think he had been the one to take out the enemy.

“Feels like Master’s strength has gotten even stronger. Is it that his former powers are gradually returning?” Hong Qianye thought to himself.

In the face of Blood Slayer’s crushing defeat, he felt not the slightest surprise; instead, he found it all to be quite reasonable.

As long as this one took action, it would always be an unquestionable domination!

After all, this was Ye Tian Emperor!

“Finally taken care of, huh?” Ye Junlin chuckled softly.

Nine-Grade Immortal Power + Invincible Sword Heart + top-tier Immortal King level magical artifact + Slaughter Immortal Sword Formula—these combined factors unleashed a killing power equivalent to a one-button clear function in today’s Kunlun Realm!

Forget about Immortal Kings; even most Immortal Emperors would face total annihilation under this sword!

Even Blood Slayer, with his tenacious vitality, had to disintegrate on the spot under such devastating power, with no hope of survival.

At that same moment.

Situ Yan, who had just stepped into Tianyuan State, froze in his tracks, his eyes filled with deep shock.

Just earlier, he had sensed Blood Slayer’s aura suddenly vanish, as if wiped out by a powerful force in an instant.

The one who had made the move was the opponent he was familiar with!

“G-Gentleman, it seems that Undying Blood Clan has already…” Dabu stammered, feeling parched and shaking with fright.

“Retreat!”

Situ Yan decided on the spot and turned to run.

If that Undying Blood Clan member was this strong, dealt with so decisively, then if he inadvertently exposed himself, he would have no way out.

“It seems that to deal with someone like Ye Tian Emperor, I can only use the Order Ring to strip his cultivation to extinguish him!”

“Other than that, there’s no other way!”

Situ Yan’s gaze grew dark and his face grim.

He had to wait for the right moment, one where the benefits could be maximized.

As Blood Slayer’s aura vanished, in other areas of the Central Region, Immortal King-level beings were quietly stunned.

Who on earth had made the move to annihilate that Undying Blood Clan member?

In the Xuantian Holy Land.

In a forbidden area, a yellow-haired old man, wearing a dark yellow dao robe and an ancient bronze crown, sat cross-legged. His ears didn’t resemble those of a human, his nose retained some features of a dog’s, and if you looked closely, you’d see a shiny tail behind him.

Clearly, his true form was that of a dog!

At this moment, the yellow-haired old man frowned deeply, staring at a mirror in his hand, seemingly observing the ongoing situation.

Through the mirror, he saw the scene of Blood Slayer being killed by a sword, and he was left utterly dumbfounded.

“Who among the current Immortal Kings possesses such strength?”

The yellow-haired old man couldn’t believe all of this was real.

With his extensive experience, he could tell just how exaggerated that sword’s power was.

Even a 99% Immortal Emperor would not be able to withstand it!

Remember, the gap between Immortal Emperors and Immortal Kings was far greater than that between Immortal Sovereigns and Immortal Kings.

For example, if an Immortal King is akin to a regional lord, an Immortal Emperor is the true ruler, an unbridgeable chasm exists between the two!

He hadn’t expected that the opponent could dominate 99% of Immortal Emperors with merely Immortal King-level cultivation!

This was nothing short of a miraculous impossibility for the yellow-haired old man!

“I’m afraid even the legendary Empress Fuyao couldn’t achieve this at the Immortal King level back in the day?”

The yellow-haired old man murmured.

Recalling that legendary figure who once dominated the Kunlun Realm, the yellow-haired old man seemed to feel a pang in his heart, his eyes misting up, glistening with tears.

“Empress…”

Thinking of the master he had once followed, who had long since fallen, the yellow-haired old man couldn’t help but weep quietly.

The once remarkable Empress Fuyao had stepped one foot at a time to reach the supreme throne of the Kunlun Realm, but sadly, she had ultimately perished beyond the domain, leaving no trace…

Every time he thought of this, his heart turned heavy with sadness.

Gradually, the yellow-haired old man calmed his feelings of sorrow and turned his focus back to the mirror.

“Let me see who this exceptional young genius is that made the move!”

Then, the image in the mirror shifted and froze on Ye Junlin.

Looking at this black-robed youth with a graceful demeanor, the yellow-haired old man furrowed his brows and muttered, “Strange, why don’t I have any impression of this person? Could it be that he’s a newcomer of this era?”

Suddenly.

The reflection of Ye Junlin in the mirror seemed to sense something and turned his gaze towards the viewer, coldly shouting with irritation:

“Who?!”
