Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 509

Swish!

A vast phantom surged up into the sky from behind.

It was a man wearing an ancient imperial crown, with hair cascading like a galaxy, dressed in a black imperial robe adorned with the stars of the heavens. His handsome face bore no joy or sorrow, his golden eyes radiating a sun-like brilliance as he looked down upon the masses.

Surrounded by terrifying celestial phenomena—tsunamis, blazing suns, storms, and lightning—he seemed like a true god reigning over heaven and earth!

Boom boom boom~

A rather oppressive weight covered the world, and the air suddenly thickened like frost.

“What…?”

The Immortal Sovereigns present all turned pale, feeling suffocated, almost unable to breathe.

Gazing upon the majestic imperial robe phantom, their eyes revealed sheer terror.

“What kind of apparition is this?!” Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign’s pupils contracted in disbelief.

He had just deployed his most powerful apparition, the Immortal Slaughter Apparition, a culmination of his life’s comprehension.

As the name suggests, the Immortal Slaughter Apparition could aid its wielder in slaughtering any Immortal!

Its terrifying might ranked among the highest in recorded immaterial existences within the Immortal Realm!

Thus, Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign was confident in his own capability.

However, the manifestation of Ye Junlin made him feel like a country bumpkin who had just seen the world.

It completely overturned his understanding!

Shattering prior beliefs!

Because compared to this mysterious apparition, his proud Immortal Slaughter Apparition instantly paled in comparison.

“Heh heh.”

Ye Junlin stood with his hands clasped behind his back, silver hair billowing, a grand imperial robe phantom standing behind him in the same pose, as if he were traversing the vast river of time itself.

Just standing there, he exuded the feeling of dominating heaven and earth!

Indeed, this was the Celestial Emperor’s Apparition Ye Junlin had acquired long ago through the system!

He was now transformed, thus the Celestial Emperor’s Apparition he manifested had also become more complete and imposing.

Buzz buzz buzz~

In this moment, before all eyes, the two massive apparitions stood opposing each other, their auras colliding and distorting the space around them.

“Damn it…”

Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign ground his teeth, instinctively sensing a wave of danger, his hair standing on end.

“I refuse to believe you’re truly as formidable as you seem!”

With this declaration, he formed a seal with one hand; the Immortal Slaughter Apparition behind him erupted into motion, its face contorted with rage as it wielded a law sword, channeling all its power to strike forth, unleashing a red sword beam akin to a blazing cloud.

This attack was unmatched in its might.

Eternal Ancestor’s scalp prickled. Could his strongest technique, the Eternal Seal, withstand such an assault?

“Heaven Cutting Finger!”

Ye Junlin casually raised a finger, then nonchalantly pointed towards the void. The Celestial Emperor’s Apparition behind him mirrored the motion.

In an instant, a golden finger ray seemed to transcend time and space, containing an indestructible aura, struck against the red sword beam.

Boom!

The resulting shockwave spread like a tidal wave, kicking up countless swirling sands around.

In the eyes of the stunned spectators, the red sword beam shattered inch by inch, but the residual force of the Heaven Cutting Finger struck Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign like a lightning bolt, causing blood to spill from the corner of his mouth.

“You…”

Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign was both shocked and furious, his heart stirred like a tempest.

Clearly, Ye Junlin’s power was beyond his expectations.

“I thought you were something special; turns out you’re just like everyone else,” Ye Junlin mocked.

“What did you say?!”

Hearing this, Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign felt deeply humiliated, immediately deciding to give his all and show the opponent who was boss.

“Eye of Immortal Slaughter, activate!”

The vertical mark on the Immortal Slaughter Apparition’s forehead split open, revealing a blood-red, eerie eye that fixated firmly on Ye Junlin.

Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign’s own eyes emitted a dazzling, soul-stirring light, each pupil seemingly housing a massive destructive formation, with countless red runes swirling and intertwining.

The Eye of Immortal Slaughter was one of his ultimate moves, and with the power of the Immortal Slaughter Apparition, its might could multiply by thousands!

One could say the two were perfectly complementary, serving as Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign’s strongest trump card in the North Cold Immortal Domain.

“Ye Tian Emperor is in danger.” Those witnessing felt chills run down their spines, their hearts trembling, nearly losing their minds to the overwhelming killing intent.

In that moment, they finally understood the true terror of the second strongest being in the North Cold Immortal Domain.

Really, seniors can’t compare—this is killing the seniors!

While they were also Immortal Sovereigns, the disparity was as vast as the clouds and dirt!

“Hey Ye, you’ve still got time to bow and apologize; I’ll let it slide!” Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign regained his confidence, speaking arrogantly.

“Heh, how about you kneel down and give me a few kowtows first?” Ye Junlin laughed coldly.

“Stubborn fool!”

This remark struck Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign, and in his rage, he launched an attack.

Under the activation of the Eye of Immortal Slaughter, a beam of deathly light that seemed capable of annihilating all life sliced through the air in an instant.

“Perfect timing! I’ve been looking to try this technique on you.”

Ye Junlin raised his hand, and the Celestial Emperor’s Apparition also followed suit, that massive hand traversing time and space, emanating an aura of great freedom, slamming down.

Creation Palm!

This was the second divine ability bestowed by the Celestial Emperor’s Apparition, aside from the Heaven Cutting Finger.

Boom boom boom…

A thunderous quake erupted, with surging energy swirling for miles around.

The entire desert trembled!

“Ah, what kind of palm technique is this?!” Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign’s eyes burned painfully; he found himself shedding two streams of bloody tears.

The Immortal Slaughter Apparition behind him also began to phase out, seeming as if it would shatter at any moment.

“Pretty impressive endurance,” Ye Junlin chuckled coldly, his glowing hand slowly pressing forward.

“Amitabha Buddha, why must you be so aggressive, Ye?”

Suddenly, a soft sigh echoed.

Following that, waves of golden Buddha light erupted as a massive Buddha phantom sat upon a lotus, gazing down at the masses.

At this moment, Maitreya Immortal Sovereign joined his palms, carrying the Buddhist Sect’s apparition, with the golden lotus rising from the ground, a scene of great sanctity.

In an instant, Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign felt the pressure lighten considerably, and even the injuries on his body showed signs of improvement.

He knew this was Maitreya Immortal Sovereign intentionally helping him!

It wasn’t unexpected; after all, Maitreya Immortal Sovereign was on the same front as him now, since Ye Junlin was proving to be exceedingly strong, invoking a sense of crisis in both of them.

“Old bald donkey, do you dare to interfere? You better be ready to face the consequences,” Ye Junlin sneered.

“Goodness, good. Ye, you’ve misjudged my intentions; I just don’t want this fight to persist,” Maitreya Immortal Sovereign replied.

“If you force this issue, be prepared for the consequences!”

Maitreya Immortal Sovereign’s expression was calm, but his tone bore a hint of threat.

Truth be told, he was quite shocked by Ye Junlin’s astonishing battle power, capable of cornering his old rival, Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign, to such an extent.

Given his own interests, he felt it necessary to ally with Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign to confront this mysteriously powerful prodigy.
