Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 399

In an instant,

a shiny silver ring appeared in the sky, radiating an incredibly rich energy wave.

From a distance, it looked like a dazzling silver sun, providing quite the visual shock.

“What is that?” The crowd’s gaze was instinctively drawn to it.

Buzz, buzz, buzz~

The Order Ring unleashed an extraordinarily strange power, spreading like a tidal wave at an unbelievable speed.

This force was unstoppable, like a hurricane sweeping through; many cultivators didn’t even have time to react before they suddenly felt something being stripped away from them.

“What’s going on? My cultivation level is gone!”

“Heavens, mine too!”

“What on earth happened?!”

…

Instantly, chaos erupted; countless powerful beings were in a panic, feeling like the sky had fallen.

Just a second ago, they were still high and mighty Immortal Kings or Immortal Emperors, and suddenly, they were reduced to the status of ordinary mortals.

The feeling of such a drastic drop was more painful than being killed!

“It must be that thing causing this!”

A middle-aged man pointed and shouted angrily.

Everyone looked over in unison, only to see that brilliant silver ring hovering in mid-air, with a radius of five hundred miles under its influence.

Not just the revivers present, but countless contemporary cultivators on the outskirts were affected, all losing their cultivation levels!

They felt panic and fear radiating from their expressions.

Everything about this was too bizarre!

Ye Junlin had already slashed out with his sword, but just when the Order Ring was activated, his cultivation disappeared along with it, rendering his sword utterly powerless.

“Good thing I made it…” Blood Slayer, who had narrowly escaped with his life, was drenched in cold sweat, feeling like he had just survived a calamity.

At the same time, without his cultivation, his true form was revealed.

“It’s you?!”

Seeing this familiar figure before him, Ye Junlin was taken aback.

He still remembered that day in the Taichu Holy Land when he wiped out the Undying Blood Clan.

So, the other side was still alive?

What he killed before was probably just a clone!

“That’s right, it’s me!”

Now that things had come to this, Blood Slayer had no need to hide. He proudly lifted his chin, his eyes filled with derision as he spread his arms in a victorious pose, “Surprised, aren’t you?”

Ye Junlin: “……”

He was genuinely at a loss for words.

Was this just like the scene in Journey to the West, with the three battles against the Bone Demon?

“So this is all your trap.”

Ye Junlin’s eyes flickered.

Blood Slayer was about to speak when he was cut off by a single phrase, “No, this is a carefully prepared gift from me!”

As he spoke, ripples appeared in the void next to the Order Ring.

A blond man materialized, with pure white wings on his back and a golden halo above his head, looking as holy as an angel.

At this moment, Situ Yan looked down from above, gazing at Ye Junlin, who was as small as an ant, feeling unprecedented satisfaction.

Finally.

He had succeeded!

“Who are you? Do I know you?”

Since Situ Yan always made a hasty retreat, Ye Junlin never got a good look at his face; he raised an eyebrow and asked.

Hearing this, Situ Yan was so furious he nearly fell from the sky.

You made me run away in embarrassment every single time, and now you ask such a question?

What does that mean?

Are you trying to make me feel awkward?

Suppressing his irritation, Situ Yan sneered, “Ye Tian Emperor, I am Situ Yan, from the Bright Clan!”

“Do you remember one of my subordinates? The one you killed!”

Upon hearing this,

Ye Junlin suddenly recalled.

Back when he was in the Heavenly Daughter Country, there was indeed a winged person who came looking for trouble, only to be poked to death by him!

It was then he realized there was not only the Undying Blood Clan but also a force called the Bright Clan lurking within the Kunlun Realm.

Now, with the mastermind appearing, it seemed that he felt overly confident about winning.

“Ye Tian Emperor?”

The crowd’s expression changed upon hearing this title.

“So it turns out the leader Ye was talking about was Ye Tian Emperor?”

“Wow, that title sounds really impressive!”

“But why haven’t we heard about this before?”

The group of revivers looked baffled.

Upon recalling the previous encounter, Blood Slayer’s face darkened, and he sarcastically remarked, “Young Master Situ, we’ve been waiting for you for ages! If you were any later, I might have been hacked to death by a single sword strike.”

Situ Yan didn’t feel awkward at all and calmly replied, “Sorry, I was lost in thought earlier, almost causing a huge mistake; please don’t take it to heart.”

Lost in thought?

After hearing such a dismissive explanation, Blood Slayer’s teeth ground together in frustration.

But unfortunately, they still had to work together for now.

Ye Junlin narrowed his eyes and pointed at that silver ring, asking, “What is that thing? How could it make us all lose our cultivation level?”

“Haha, it’s no problem to tell you, this is the Order Ring, a treasure of my Bright Clan.”

“You all lost your cultivation levels, all thanks to me!”

Situ Yan spoke with a haughty tone, a sense of superiority bubbling from him.

He enjoyed watching these Kunlun Realm natives look like they had never seen the world before.

“How despicable! Give our cultivation levels back!”

“We’re doomed; without our cultivation, we might as well be dead!”

Countless cultivators wailed.

“Ha ha,” Situ Yan relished the sight of their despair, finding it utterly amusing.

“Hey, who are you trying to scare? This effect only lasts for a stick of incense; after that, everyone will regain their cultivation level.”

Suddenly, Ye Junlin stated with certainty.

Once these words were spoken,

The cries and wails were immediately silenced.

“Is that true, Leader Ye?!” the crowd said with joy.

“How do you know?”

Situ Yan’s expression changed; such a secret should not have leaked!

“Don’t ask, it’s a guess.”

Ye Junlin touched his nose.

The reason was simple; he had just asked the system…

Situ Yan snapped back to reality from his shock, sneering,

“What does it matter if you know? A stick of incense’s time is enough for me to wipe you out a hundred thousand times!”

“The reason I’m keeping you around is to enjoy the look of despair on your faces at the end, and make sure you die understanding everything!”

Hearing this, the cultivators showed despair.

Yeah!

Even if a stick of incense could restore their cultivation, so what?

For the strong, not only a stick of incense but even a split-second difference could determine life and death.

And now they were without their cultivation; even if they tried to run away, how far could they get?

They would just be waiting to die right where they stood!

“We’re finished; it’s all over.” Senior Gou sat on the ground, holding his head and murmuring.

This group represented the most powerful force in the Central Region; if they were completely wiped out, it would mean the Kunlun Realm would fall into chaos.

Never again would they have a chance to turn the tide!

“How could this happen…” Qin Ruyan clenched her teeth, her fingernails piercing her palm, drawing crimson blood.

She couldn’t accept this outcome!

“Despicable! Shameless!”

Li Wujie threw his hat to the ground in fury, cursing, “Bird man, I curse your mother!”

“That’s right, I curse your mother!!!” Countless cultivators, realizing they were about to die, decided to vent their frustrations before meeting their end.

Instantly, a flood of curses erupted, all aimed at Situ Yan’s family with affectionate greetings…

Situ Yan was so enraged he felt smoke coming out of his seven orifices, trembling all over; having lived a life of luxury, he could hardly endure such insults.

These Kunlun Realm natives were simply too uncouth!

“Shut up and die!!!”

Situ Yan angrily raised his hand, and golden light erupted from his palm, transforming into a golden hand that spanned millions of meters, crashing down.

Boom~

As the golden hand approached from the sky, the cultivators, realizing they were facing certain death, felt fear creep into their hearts, “No…”

Hong Qianye felt chills all over and despaired; just then, he unconsciously glanced at Ye Junlin, discovering this man was completely composed, a mocking smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

Noticing this slight change in expression, Hong Qianye seemed to think of something; his mind buzzed, and his breathing became rapid.

Recalling the numerous past experiences, every time a death crisis occurred, this young man could turn danger into safety.

And every time he wore this expression, it meant he was completely at ease!

“Could it be, Master still has a way out?”
