Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 606

Tu Lie’s head instantly buzzed, a look of shock plastered on his face.

North Cold Immortal Lord!?

Isn’t that Ye Tian Emperor?

Tu Lie had heard of such a figure like thunder.

Never thought he’d meet him like this in the end!

Now that I think about it…

Su Yinghuo had recently gotten cozy with him, which was why her attitude towards Tu Lie had changed so drastically.

But that wasn’t the main point. The main point was how shockingly high Ye Junlin’s cultivation level was—at the peak of the Nine-Grade Immortal Emperor!

“Ah, so it’s the renowned Ye Immortal Lord. I’ve long admired you,” Tu Lie quickly changed his tone, his eyes revealing a hint of wariness upon learning Ye Junlin’s identity.

“Let’s skip the pleasantries.”

Ye Junlin said, “I didn’t want to get involved at all, but you insisted on being aggressive and even attacked me. Now that we’ve reached this point, how do you plan to settle this?”

Tu Lie’s gaze darkened, his tone unfriendly as he replied, “What do you think you should do?”

“Simple. You kneel down and knock your head a thousand times and swear never to cause trouble in Qingqiu Nation again, then I’ll let you go!”

Ye Junlin snapped his fingers, tauntingly making this demand.

“This…”

The crowd exchanged glances.

Su Yinghuo shook her head, finding it utterly unrealistic.

From her understanding of Tu Lie’s personality, Ye Junlin’s demand would only further provoke him.

“Ye, I respect you as an Immortal Lord and am speaking civilly as a show of respect to a strong one, but don’t think for a second I’m actually afraid of you. Your cultivation level is merely slightly above mine; you think you can just play me like that?!”

With a grim face, Tu Lie’s forehead bulged with veins, roaring like a crazed lion.

He was the Sky-Treading Battle Emperor, the East Victory Immortal Lord—there was no way he’d demean himself like this!

Why should he?!

Although he was at a cultivation disadvantage compared to Ye Junlin, it gnawed at his pride.

However, the strength comparison among Immortal Emperors involved more than just cultivation level.

In addition to that, he had plenty of other cards to play!

“Then I’ll beat you until you beg for mercy.” Ye Junlin stepped forward, his figure instantly rising to a level comparable to Tu Lie.

Seeing the two about to clash, Su Yinghuo hurriedly ordered General Su Meng to activate all the defensive formations in the Imperial Capital to prevent the citizens from getting caught in the crossfire.

This was about two top-tier Immortal Emperors competing; even from high above, the shockwaves from their battle could affect everything below.

A large number of lower-level beings might die outright!

“Alright, let’s see just how strong the man who dares to call himself an Immortal Emperor is!”

Tu Lie gripped his giant axe, muscles tensed to the brink of explosion, a terrifying murderous aura radiating from him like a storm.

Swish, swish, swish~

Thousands of axe shadows intertwined like a massive web, each filled with earth-shattering power, all unleashed at once to tear Ye Junlin to shreds.

“Upright Without a Trace!”

Ye Junlin, feeling inspired, utilized this newly acquired Divine Ability.

In an instant, his figure began to phase, and countless axe shadows zipped past him—unable to inflict a single scratch.

Everyone marveled at this incredible scene.

“What an impressive technique,” Su Yinghuo exclaimed.

Upon seeing this, Tu Lie’s heart sank, utterly bewildered.

In this world, could there really be such bizarre Immortal techniques?

“Hmph, just a trick from the side door! Dare to take a blow from me head-on?!”

Tu Lie grit his teeth, channeling immense energy into his giant axe to unleash a powerful strike.

His aura surged violently, sending chills through the air.

“What’s there to be afraid of?”

Ye Junlin emerged from his two-second phasing state with calm confidence.

The trick he just used, Upright Without a Trace, could indeed dodge all attacks, but the consumption was considerable, much greater than any of the other Divine Abilities he had mastered!

After all, it was akin to a skill like the Invincible Golden Body that grants immunity to all attacks for a time; the heavy consumption was understandable.

“Dominating Heaven, Splitting Earth Axe!”

Tu Lie roared, his aura erupting like flames, while the battle axe in his hands struck downwards towards Ye Junlin.

This move could shatter a hundred thousand mountains, reducing everything in its path to nothingness.

In fact, even Han Qiujian pulling out all the stops couldn’t withstand this overwhelming attack.

“Hehe,”

Ye Junlin invoked Invincible Sword Heart, unleashing an overwhelming sword aura that dominated the heavens and earth.

His fingers fused and suddenly struck out, sending forth a sweeping golden sword light that tore through the void like a rainbow.

Boom…!

The unstoppable giant axe light shattered into pieces.

“Poof!” Tu Lie spewed blood, his towering form hurled backward for hundreds of meters before barely regaining his balance.

The pitch-black armor he wore now bore a network of shattered cracks.

Shock registered in Tu Lie’s eyes.

This was one of his most prized killing moves; it wasn’t just any old attack—the armor itself was an exceptionally rare top-tier Immortal Emperor Artifact, and it couldn’t withstand the damage!

It boggled the mind just how powerful that last strike must’ve been!

“Is this all you’ve got?” Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow.

Tu Lie gritted his teeth, “Don’t get too cocky; the battle has just begun!”

Swish!

He shuddered, with a vast ancient crown appearing above his head, exuding a momentum that suppressed the four seas and eight wildernesses.

The Great Heavenly Position’s Immortal Path Crown!

This was Tu Lie’s emblem of pride and the reason behind his extraordinary standing among Immortal Emperors.

“Ugh,”

Feeling the terrifying pressure from above, many couldn’t help but drop to their knees, their faces pale with fear.

“Truly deserving of the legendary Sky-Treading Battle Emperor; Ye Immortal Lord is in trouble now,” Su Meng said, filled with dread.

Being an Immortal Emperor himself, he had only managed to create the Minor Heavenly Position’s Immortal Path Crown. He understood how difficult it was to achieve the Great Heavenly Position’s Immortal Path Crown.

It wasn’t an exaggeration; this was a monumental divide, comparable to the difference between a flood dragon and a true dragon!

Now that Tu Lie had summoned the Immortal Path Crown, his sense of superiority surged, restoring his confidence.

“Ye Immortal Lord, you still have time to admit your mistake. As fellow Immortal Lords, I won’t kill you but a punishment is unavoidable,” Tu Lie proclaimed from a lofty position with a sneer.

He thought that once he displayed this trump card, the battle would be decided.

“Oh, is that so?”

Ye Junlin flashed a playful smirk, manifesting his own ancient crown above his head that signified kingship.

Boom! The surrounding Immortal energy was thrown into chaos, the sky crackled with lightning, and the winds howled.

“You have one too?!” Tu Lie was stunned, his heart plummeting.

What advantage did he still have now?

“No wonder you dare to claim the title of Immortal Emperor; truly extraordinary,” Su Yinghuo’s beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration.

“In that case, I’ll fight you to the bitter end!!”

Tu Lie, filled with extreme reluctance, bellowed, even invoking secret techniques to burn his essence blood, his aura soaring like a mad dragon, his eyes red with fury.

In this moment, Tu Lie’s strength had reached a level where he was a super elite, far surpassing all the opponents Ye Junlin had faced before!

“God Axe Suppressing Hell!”

This was Tu Lie’s strongest killing move and his signature technique.

In an instant,

Tu Lie raised the battle axe in his hand, gathering boundless murderous energy, forming a pitch-black giant axe resembling a mountain, radiating a sinister glow, packed with terrifying power.

At this moment, not just the Imperial Capital, but all of Qingqiu Nation felt a bone-chilling sensation, as if calamity was upon them, their very souls trembling.

“Tu, have you gone mad?!” Su Yinghuo cried out in shock, her emotions running high.

If Ye Junlin couldn’t block this, it would be her turn to bear the consequence; otherwise, the destructive shockwave alone could wipe out half of Qingqiu Nation!

“Ha! He’s forcing my hand!”

Tu Lie’s eyes blazed with bloodlust, a sinister grin spreading across his face, as he swung the battle axe straight at Ye Junlin.

Boom, boom, boom…

An immense oppressive force surged forth.

The gigantic, mountain-like black battle axe was aimed directly at Ye Junlin’s head.

His form seemed nothing but a speck of dust.

“Hehe, it’s time to end this.”

At the same time, Ye Junlin remained unfazed, hands forming seals.

A domineering figure materialized behind him, akin to an ancient emperor stunning all realms.

The very air around them froze, and everyone, including Su Yinghuo, was on high alert in an instant.

“Human King Seal!”

Ye Junlin activated the long-unused Human King Seal, harnessing Nine-Grade Immortal Power to the utmost as he unleashed a devastating attack.

Soon, the massive black battle axe was forcibly brought to a halt, surface crackling with fractures.

Bang!

The Human King Seal shattered Tu Lie’s attack, rushing to suppress him.

“Ah…”

Tu Lie screamed, raising his battle axe to meet the challenge with difficulty.

Moments later, the axe began to splinter, cracking loudly.

“Open the Sky!”

Tu Lie felt a heart-wrenching pain as he cried out.

This was his cherished axe, one that followed him through trials and tribulations, earning him fame, and was the product of countless arduous refinements by craftsmen who were sought after for unique treasures.

Never did he expect it would be shattered like this!!
