Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 659

“I see you’re shocked, kid. This is the gap between you and me!”

Summoning ten fierce beasts at Half-Saint level, Yuan Hua felt a surge of confidence and sneered.

“Roar~!”

The ten ferocious beasts let out deafening roars, the overwhelming sound waves filling the skies above the Immortal Court, causing countless people to feel their eardrums swell and their heads pound.

Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow, “Is this all? A punch for each, no problem.”

Yuan Hua couldn’t grasp the meaning of “little Karami,” but he understood the latter part.

A punch for each?

Who does he think he is?

You should know, these ten beasts have roamed the starry skies, each one having devoured countless Half-Saints. Someone like you, born from a small world, doesn’t even fill a gap in their teeth!

And you dare to boast about taking them down with a punch?

“Sky-scaling Scorpion, go! Don’t let him die too quickly. I want to see him in pain!” Yuan Hua said with a wicked grin.

Obeying the command, the massive creature, resembling a metallic scorpion with wings, dove towards Ye Junlin aggressively.

Boom boom boom~

The immense pressure felt tangible, as if the very fabric of reality was collapsing.

“That’s the Sky-scaling Scorpion! If its poisonous stinger hits, even a top-tier Half-Saint could fall!”

Among the crowd, some cultivators recognized it and exclaimed in shock.

Whoosh, a stinger raced through the air with unmatched momentum, aiming to pierce Ye Junlin.

Ding! Detected host facing an attack from a Ninth-Level Half-Saint enemy. Activating passive effect: Grow stronger in the face of adversity, gaining cultivation at Tenth-Level Half-Saint!

The system notification echoed.

Ye Junlin’s aura erupted with Tenth-Level Half-Saint strength.

He casually raised his hand, gripping the stinger aimed at him.

The next moment, amidst the astonished gazes of countless onlookers, he yanked the entire massive form of the Sky-scaling Scorpion towards him and slammed his fist down on its head.

Boom~!!!

An explosion of immense fist power unleashed, the scorpion’s massive head burst like a watermelon, its headless body crashing to the ground, shaking the entire Immortal Court.

“Hiss~~~~~~”

Gasps of disbelief filled the air; everyone’s expressions showed sheer shock.

Holy hell!

One punch to finish it?!

Yuan Hua’s eyes nearly popped out of his head; it felt like he’d taken a heavy blow to the chest, blood surging in his throat, and he quickly turned red-faced and spat it out.

His eyes mirrored disbelief, “Your cultivation level…”

He never imagined there was a top-tier Half-Saint residing in the Immortal Realm!

The Divine Court had no intel on this.

Poor Sky-scaling Scorpion, it became a sacrificial lamb!

Among the ten beasts he raised, the Sky-scaling Scorpion had the strongest capabilities, especially its lethal stinger, which had taken down so many Half-Saints.

And yet here it lay, dead at the hands of the foe!

Yuan Hua regretted it deeply.

Had he known Ye Junlin’s true level, it would have never come to this!

Ye Junlin scoffed, “I told you, it’s just a punch. Why didn’t you believe me?”

Regarding his newfound Tenth-Level Half-Saint strength, he felt no disturbance; after all, his physical body was of True Saint caliber, far beyond that of a Half-Saint.

So this little advantage was no big deal!

“Now tell me, how do you want to die?” Ye Junlin grinned coldly, stepping forward.

Yuan Hua felt a chill run down his spine, increasingly convinced that this silver-haired youth radiated something bizarre.

“Everyone, attack! Kill him!!!”

In a desperate frenzy, Yuan Hua shouted, his emotional breakdown causing his body to visibly shake.

“Roar~”

The remaining nine beasts roared in unison, charging at Ye Junlin with everything they had—some spouting hellfire, others unleashing energy beams that could pierce stars, and others flapping their wings, creating freezing tempests…

Together, their onslaught could aim at a top-tier Half-Saint!

But Ye Junlin remained unfazed, his body enduring wave after wave of terrifying attacks, strolling leisurely as if they were nothing more than light rain.

This scene dumbfounded everyone.

Xiang Jiba stood frozen, nearly doubting his own senses.

Even with his strength, facing the combined assault of these nine beasts, he wouldn’t dare take it lightly; he’d have to activate his protective Divine Ability.

Yet Ye Junlin simply braced himself with muscular defiance!

Xiang Jiba felt a deep shock; was this really a Half-Saint level physique?

At this moment.

Ye Junlin approached a beast with the body of a leopard and the head of a lion, known as the Purple Flame Mad Lion, the strongest battle pet under Yuan Hua.

Seeing the diminutive human before it, the Purple Flame Mad Lion’s eyes betrayed a hint of fear.

It sensed the threat of death!

With no hesitation, Ye Junlin threw a punch, smashing the Purple Flame Mad Lion into the ground.

The other nine beasts met the same fate.

“Poof poof poof…”

As his battle pets fell one after another, the backlash left Yuan Hua spewing blood like a small fountain.

His face turned as white as paper, energy sapped, staggering to the ground, staring at the silver-haired figure standing before him, engulfed in a wave of immense fear.

It really was one punch for each!

The most shocked were the cultivators from the Divine Court.

They couldn’t fathom that such a monstrous powerhouse existed in this world!

“Wow, that guy is amazing~” Song Linlin exclaimed, her eyes wide, filled with indescribable emotions.

Xiang Jiba’s mood was beyond words.

Honestly asking himself.

If it were him, he couldn’t pull that off.

His own strength was indeed greater than Yuan Hua’s, but overcoming him was no simple feat; it required great effort.

How could he remain calm throughout, like Ye Junlin, solving everything with a flick of his fist!

“Wait, even a Half-Saint, no matter how strong his physical body is, can’t reach such absurd levels. The only explanation is he has already formed a True Saint body in advance…”

Realizing this possibility made Xiang Jiba’s breath quicken.

This is true Physical Body Becoming a Saint!

His Master, Panlong Wusheng, once mentioned that there exists a special group of individuals who can condense their holy bodies ahead of time.

But the premise is that the surrounding laws are deficient, preventing a breakthrough to sainthood in cultivation, yet due to their exceptional talent, they achieve partial sainthood, specifically in their physical form!

However, the chance for this is extremely slim; given the era’s progress, the universe has long entered the Era of Sainthood. Those who can achieve sainthood have already done so—why limit it to just physical sainthood?

But Ye Junlin’s performance was eerily consistent with what his Master described, making Xiang Jiba’s heart race even faster!

“My friend, Yuan Hua means no offense. Whatever compensation you want, I can do my best to provide!” Yuan Hua swallowed hard, forcing a smile.

“I kill you, your stuff becomes mine. Isn’t that straightforward?” Ye Junlin stepped closer, sneering.

Yuan Hua felt his heart sink, hastily trying to save face, “I’m a cultivator sent by the Divine Court to assist you! If you kill me, you’ll offend the Divine Court!”

“Everyone, this person is disregarding the Divine Court’s authority! Let’s unite to take him down!” Yuan Hua shouted to a large group of Divine Court cultivators in the distance, his words dripping with urgency and indignation.

Desperate to survive, he resorted to inciting emotions to draw others into the fray.

A whole group of Divine Court cultivators exchanged uneasy glances, gazing at Ye Junlin with equal parts caution and hostility.

Regardless, Yuan Hua was one of their own; if Ye Junlin killed him, where would their reputation go?

Yet, Ye Junlin’s overwhelming display of power momentarily stunned them, making them hesitant to act.

Seeing this unfold, Yuan Hua cursed inwardly, rapidly seeking help from Xiang Jiba, “Brother Xiang, help me! We’re in this together!”

He believed that with Xiang Jiba’s influence, the Divine Court cultivators would surely swarm to attack Ye Junlin.

“This idiot…”

Xiang Jiba’s expression darkened.

Once he realized Ye Junlin was a freak of Physical Body Becoming a Saint, even with their numbers, they couldn’t gain any advantage.

For the sake of a reckless fool, why get themselves into a bloodbath? Just thinking about it seemed pointless!

Thoughts raced in his mind.

At last, Xiang Jiba gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

Whoosh~

He vanished and reappeared in front of Yuan Hua, and in Yuan Hua’s incredulous gaze, he stomped down hard, causing Yuan Hua’s chest to cave in, blood pouring out. Yuan Hua, already weak, could only watch helplessly.

“You…”

Yuan Hua bled from the corners of his mouth, his pupils gradually dilating, his head wobbling as he collapsed to the ground, quickly losing signs of life.

He was dead!
