Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 596

Before, Ye Junlin utilized the Invincible Sword Heart, at most just to boost the power of his sword techniques and enhance his perception. But really, that was merely scratching the surface, a glimpse of an iceberg’s tip.

Now, having truly mastered the Invincible Sword Heart, he could finally unleash its full power.

Of course.

Ye Junlin’s Invincible Sword Heart was still only at the first layer, but given its high quality, his starting point was leagues ahead of Han Qiujian.

“What… what is this sword aura…” In an instant, Han Qiujian felt his scalp tingle, a chill crawling up his spine.

He sensed that his proud Celestial Sword Aura was utterly crushed before this sword aura!

Schwaaaak! A massive thunder sword light was halted, with only two fingers stopping it!

“Nice power on the second move, but still a bit lacking,” Ye Junlin chuckled.

Boom!

No sooner had he spoken than his two fingers burst forth with a divine sword light, obliterating the massive thunder sword light with overwhelming force.

The heavens and earth fell silent.

Countless people were left dumbfounded.

Such a powerful sword move, stopped just with two fingers?

Absolutely unbelievable!

Han Qiujian stared blankly at the figure of the young man, unable to find the words to describe his inner turmoil.

“Was that sword aura just now from the Unbreakable Sword Heart? Or perhaps the Invincible Sword Heart?!”

After mulling over it, Han Qiujian leaned towards the former, since the latter was simply too terrifying to even imagine.

“This person’s swordsmanship is far beyond mine…”

When it comes to Sword Intent, he lost, and when it comes to Sword Heart, he lost spectacularly.

Continuous heavy blows made Han Qiujian’s faith waver, his sword heart showing signs of collapse.

He could accept defeat, but accepting such a thorough loss, one that was on an entirely different level, was beyond him!

“Is there even a point to the third move?”

Han Qiujian’s eyes dimmed, his sword hand trembling slightly.

Ye Junlin noticed that something was off with his opponent’s state. If he gave up now, he’d definitely be plagued by inner demons when he returned, resulting in a downward spiral and roadblocks in his sword path.

To be honest, he didn’t want to see that happen—after all, it was this very moment that unlocked his Invincible Sword Heart.

“Friend Han, feel free to unleash your sword. No matter the outcome, you must swing that sword. It is the pride of your sword cultivation, do not let it go!”

Upon hearing this, Han Qiujian was taken aback, carefully pondering these words, and a blaze of clarity ignited in his eyes as he felt rejuvenated.

Right!

Regardless of success or failure, he had nothing to be ashamed of!

“Ye Immortal Lord, I have learned a lot,”

Han Qiujian saw things more clearly now, a hint of gratitude showing in his gaze.

Even if he lost, he would do so gracefully.

Steadying his sword heart, Han Qiujian took a deep breath, the sword aura around him rising sharply.

Boom! Boom! Boom~

Heavenly thunder rolled, winds howled.

At this moment, Han Qiujian’s gaze turned fierce, his sword aura merging with his entire being, feeling like a sharp edge contained yet ever ready to explode.

“Third move, Wind Thunder Unity!”

With a mighty shout,

Han Qiujian’s hair flew wildly as he desperately delivered his final sword strike.

This sword move was the ultimate form of the Divine Sky Wind Thunder Sword Technique, combining the agility of wind and the dominance of thunder for a perfect merger. As the sword was unleashed, wind and thunder whirled together, its power multiplying geometrically!

To put it bluntly,

This move’s power was enough to contend with a top-tier powerhouse.

“Bring it on!”

Ye Junlin activated the Slaughter Immortal Sword Technique, with the genuine backing of the Invincible Sword Heart, an endless killing intent surged like a vast ocean, charging into the heavens.

In an instant,

The moon turned blood-red, the dark night sky transformed into a crimson hue.

If Ye Junlin hadn’t deliberately controlled it, this magnetic field would directly influence living beings within tens of thousands of miles, turning them into bloodthirsty monsters.

Swipe!

A terrifying blood-colored sword light shot forth from his fingers, crashing into the overwhelming sword light that bore the power of wind and thunder.

Boom! Boom! Boom…… Boom! Boom! Boom……

A torrent of energy violently raged, spreading out like a whirlwind for tens of thousands of miles.

Deep in the celestial abyss, a massive rift was torn open, an abyss of darkness with countless crimson lightning interweaving, unfathomable.

Everyone gasped in horror, their faces pale.

Even the stable Immortal Realm was ripped apart! Suddenly,

Countless strange patterns appeared in the sky, the massive rift quickly mending as if repaired by some force.

This was the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm, sensing a breach and automatically releasing power to heal!

Not long after,

The sky returned to normal.

The moon dimmed significantly.

A figure stained with blood plummeted from above, crashing to the ground and causing a massive mushroom cloud.

When the dust settled, Han Qiujian slowly stood, coughing up blood, lifting his eyes towards the silver-haired figure above. There was not a trace of resentment in his gaze, only deep reverence.

He lost, convincingly and wholeheartedly!

“Ye Immortal Lord is truly the greatest sword master of this generation, I admire you!” Han Qiujian expressed with respect, cupping his hands in salute.

“The Family Master lost just like that…” the members of the Han family were taken aback.

The one who found it hardest to accept was, of course, Han Xing, the Han Family Young Master, who’d hoped his father would avenge him. Now, seeing such a complete defeat?

Even this top-tier second-generation Immortal couldn’t maintain his arrogance; now, with his backing useless, he was left feeling timid.

At this moment, Han Xing clutched his bloody severed arm, engulfed by immense regret, mumbling, “It’s over, even Dad can’t beat him…”

“Humph, you ungrateful brat, what are you embarrassing yourself for? Guards, take him back and put him under house arrest!”

Han Qiujian turned to glare at his son, a flash of anger in his eyes.

This whole mess started because of dog meat; he’d not only strictly discipline Han Xing but also prohibit him from eating any dog meat!

“Understood!”

The four family elders didn’t dare delay, quickly ushering Han Xing away.

“Ye Immortal Lord, I’m injured, so I’ll take my leave to recover,” Han Qiujian felt embarrassed and sighed, bowing to take his leave.

He knew this matter would surely spread across the West Ze Immortal Domain.

Never would he have imagined that as the Wind Thunder Sword Emperor, he would become someone else’s stepping stone.

Thinking of the culprit behind it all, Han Qiujian gritted his teeth, wishing he could rush back and thrash that troublesome thing!

“Safe travels.”

Ye Junlin smiled, thoroughly enjoying his victories.

As for the Heavenly Dog Clan,

The clan members were silent, unable to calm their racing hearts.

The famed Wind Thunder Sword Emperor of the West Ze Immortal Domain was defeated just like that?

Gou Ziqing was in a daze, feeling like he was dreaming. He never expected the senior he brought back to be not only high-profile but so terrifyingly powerful.

This was the best decision he’d ever made in his life!

Looking at the silver-haired youth standing tall in the skies, the Old Clan Leader felt immense respect. He stroked his long beard and sighed,

“This Ye Immortal Lord, indeed, defeated the Sword Emperor with two fingers, treading the sky alone…”
