Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 556

Suddenly, Ye Junlin activated his Nine-Grade Immortal Power and shot his hand out toward Li Ruotong.

Whoosh!

A massive golden hand shattered the void, radiating an aura that made the entire world tremble.

At Ye Junlin’s current level, he could completely manipulate Nine-Grade Immortal Power at will.

Li Ruotong instinctively tried to resist, her entire body erupting with the powerful force of the Full Moon to fend off the golden hand.

But alas, the gap in strength was simply too vast.

Li Ruotong was caught by the golden hand and found it nearly impossible to struggle free.

The sudden turn of events left the alien race Immortal Emperors dumbfounded.

They had thought Li Ruotong’s involvement in the battle would be impactful, but who could have anticipated she would be suppressed so quickly?

What’s the point of fighting now?!

“This…”

Bo Chengli broke out in a cold sweat and quickly turned to run.

“You scoundrel, you must die today!”

Ye Junlin had no intention of letting this troublemaker escape and unleashed a stream of golden Sword Qi that pierced straight toward him.

“Spare me, Ye Tian Emperor!”

Bo Chengli’s face showed desperation as he exploded into a bloody mist, dissipating into the world.

At that moment.

Li Ruotong’s gaze gradually cleared, her face adding a touch of confusion, “What… what happened to me?”

Once she returned to her senses, she realized she was caught by a golden hand, and her expression changed drastically.

“Friend Li, you’re okay!”

Ye Junlin smiled and retracted the golden hand grasping Li Ruotong.

“Ye, it’s you…” Li Ruotong felt a sudden release, her face showing uncertainty.

“Think carefully about what just happened,” Ye Junlin said.

“I… uh, ah,”

Li Ruotong racked her brain, a piercing pain starting to arise from deep within her mind as memories from the period she was controlled began to surge forth.

“Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign, Bo Chengli!”

Li Ruotong’s eyes turned icy, feeling a deep sense of humiliation, her whole body trembling in anger.

This person was simply too detestable!

Taking advantage of her moment of distraction, he had used that disgusting Evil Technique to control her, even attempting to do unspeakable things with her in the room. Thankfully, her subconscious had resisted, preventing his plans from succeeding.

For a moment, Li Ruotong felt a wave of dread and profound relief.

Then, thinking that Ye Junlin had saved her, she was suddenly filled with a complex mix of emotions.

After all, Ye Junlin could suppress her with just his bare hands, without even needing to use the Immortal Path Crown.

This was hard for Li Ruotong to accept.

Was she truly that weak in front of him?

“No, I can’t feel disheartened. He is an ancient Immortal Emperor from the Kunlun Realm, and his cultivation level is now higher than mine. It’s completely normal for him to easily overpower me…” Li Ruotong took several deep breaths, silently comforting herself inside.

“Ah!!”

Suddenly, the series of screams yanked her thoughts back to reality.

Li Ruotong was shocked to find a dark golden flying dagger swiftly darting around, instantly severing the Divine Souls of multiple alien race Immortal Emperors.

In a matter of moments.

Out of the original eleven alien race Immortal Emperors, only three remained…

This sight sent shivers down Li Ruotong’s spine, her throat swallowing hard.

What kind of Magical Treasure is this?

Killing an Immortal Emperor was like killing a chicken!

“Don’t worry, this is my Magical Treasure, Blade of Soul Destruction,” Ye Junlin said, a subtle smile playing at his lips.

“Blade of Soul Destruction…” Li Ruotong’s heart was thrown into turmoil.

You need to know, the Divine Soul is the weak point of a cultivator.

Flesh can regrow, but once the Divine Soul is harmed, recovery is nearly impossible. Let alone being completely obliterated—no matter how powerful a Sage might be, they cannot bring it back.

Most importantly, even the Soul Heaven Immortal Emperor, who previously specialized in the Divine Soul, couldn’t withstand a single blow from the current Blade of Soul Destruction!

It’s easy to imagine how the Blade of Soul Destruction spells doom for any Immortal Emperor; it’s basically a nightmare-inducing lethal weapon.

“Don’t come any closer, don’t come near!”

Titan King Tai Xi and Squid King Dalai, clearly terrified, tried to evade the Blade of Soul Destruction but were mercilessly robbed of their Divine Souls. With a final scream, their corpses plummeted into the sea, creating massive waves, sinking beneath the depths.

As the last survivor, the Red-Haired Yaksha King flapped his wings desperately; he was utterly terrified and wanted to flee the scene.

But then, a dark golden flying dagger blocked his path as Ye Junlin’s teasing voice came from behind.

“Hehe, where do you think you’re going?”

The Red-Haired Yaksha King was drenched in sweat, turning to face Ye Junlin stiffly, teeth gritted.

“Your skills are impressive, but don’t think you can save the entire North Cold Immortal Domain. With Princess Rosa here, even if your abilities are astounding, you will surely lose!”

He held a blind, absolute faith in Rosa, the Princess of the Asura Clan.

This kind of attitude only arises after one has been completely subjugated mentally and physically.

Clearly, Ye Junlin’s displayed abilities were not enough for the Red-Haired Yaksha King to believe he could surpass Rosa.

Facing a Nine-Grade Formation Master, these tricks were nothing at all!

“Princess?”

Both Li Ruotong and Ye Junlin’s eyes flickered with intrigue.

It seems that behind this group of alien forces, there was an immensely powerful female cultivator backing them!

Suddenly.

The entire realm seemed to shake violently!

Boom! A dark, comet-like light surged from the sky carrying a sound that shattered the wind.

An even more overwhelming sense of pressure spread in all directions, far surpassing that of the alien race Immortal Emperors.

There stood a tall figure wearing a black evil spirit mask, hands folded behind his back, surrounded by dark purple terror flames that scorched every inch of the surrounding void.

This was the aura of an Asura!

Only cultivators from the Asura Clan possess this aura, which significantly enhances their damage and healing capabilities!

With the Asura aura, every member of the Asura Clan is a natural-born warrior, fearless in battle and death, and after a long epoch of conquering the universe, they have become recognized as the strongest race in the Nine Nether realm, positioned among the supreme races!

Now, as one of the princess’s bodyguards, Hei Jue had flown an immense distance to this coordinate sent out by the alien race Immortal Emperors.

However, he found himself staring at an unexpected scene.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the Red-Haired Yaksha King felt as if he had grasped a lifeline, crying tears of joy.

“Lord Hei Jue, save me!”

Seeing Hei Jue appear, his mood was overwhelmed with excitement, feeling like he had glimpsed the light of hope.

The Red-Haired Yaksha King deeply understood that each of the princess’s two bodyguards possessed terrifying power, ranking among the top tier of Immortal Emperors.

Easily defeating second-tier Immortal-level powerhouses like him was a piece of cake!

And now, the only ones capable of saving him were none other than them!

“Oh? Another one has arrived.”

Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow, his gaze full of interest.

He could clearly feel that the figure known as Hei Jue was overwhelmingly powerful, far surpassing all the alien race Immortal Emperors he had slain combined!

In the sky, the tall figure stood with his hands behind his back, the cold and serious gaze behind the black mask was chilling.

Upon seeing this, Ye Junlin immediately thought of many things.

So many Immortal Emperor-level commanders, and now only the Red-Haired Yaksha King was left. If this situation wasn’t handled properly, how would he explain it to the princess?

“You must be the troublesome Human Race Immortal Emperor they spoke of,” Hei Jue said coldly, not daring to underestimate the situation.

He could sense that this silver-haired youth was extremely dangerous!

“Are you also here to die?” Ye Junlin asked.

Boom!

A colossal column of pitch-black light soared into the heavens, piercing through the vast firmament, turning the skies dark as ink for miles around.

“So strong…”

Li Ruotong’s heart shook violently; the pressure from the other side left her feeling extremely uneasy.

This was on an entirely different scale from the alien race Immortal Emperors she had battled before.

She even felt a fleeting sensation that he could squash her with a single blow!

Within the light column, Hei Jue’s aura rose sharply, the fury visible on his face behind the mask, his gaze extremely terrifying.

After all, he was a high-ranking Duke of the Asura Clan, ranked fourth on the Duke Power List!

And this list encompassed all dukes in the clan, with him positioning himself among the top four!

What does this signify?

In other words, he is currently among the top four strongest within the Asura Clan’s Immortal Emperors!

In such a context, Hei Jue felt quite proud.

Despite willingly acting as Rosa’s bodyguard, this position was extremely valuable and hard to come by, known only to Princess Rosa and her father.

Moreover, to protect the future Empress of the Asura Clan, Hei Jue naturally felt honored and never showed a hint of defiance.

But in this backward world, a mere lowly native dared to speak to him like this?

Clearly, that was touching upon Hei Jue’s bottom line!

Infuriated, his murderous intent toward Ye Junlin reached its peak!
