Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 670

“Magical Treasure! I didn’t expect you to have a Magical Treasure!” Bone Wan’s eyes narrowed sharply, sensing that the Holy Sword in Ye Junlin’s hand was completely different from any he had encountered before—definitely dangerous…

“You three, are you coming one by one or all together?”

Ye Junlin held the Human Sovereign Sword across his front, the blade reflecting brilliant light that illuminated his strikingly handsome face, a smile full of mockery.

These words undoubtedly enraged the Bone Sword Clan’s three brothers.

“Die, you!”

Bone Bai, being the more impulsive one, had an ominous glint in his eyes. A torrent of Holy Force surged through him like a rushing river, pouring into the bone sword in his hand, causing the blade to radiate a dazzling black light, exuding a sinister aura.

Having learned of Ye Junlin’s true cultivation level, he no longer dared to underestimate him and unleashed all his strength to execute a Killing Move from the Sword Path.

As he swung the sword down, a terrifying black light, as daunting as the sun, shot from the sword toward Ye Junlin, ready to engulf him!

Sizzle~

At that moment, Ye Junlin moved as well.

The Human Sovereign Sword in his hand whirled, an everlasting sword light flashing by.

The black light was shattered, leaving Bone Bai dumbfounded—this was his proud Killing Move!

He had once used this move to kill a True Saint at the Fifth Heaven level in the Divine Court, and it had been a clean, instant kill!

Yet today, it was easily dismantled by a mere human native!

“Go!”

Seeing the situation turn sour, Bone Wan and Bone Qian rushed in to join the fray, fiercely attacking Ye Junlin.

[Ding! Detected that the host is facing an attack from an enemy at the True Saint Fifth Heaven level. Activating passive effect of ‘Be Stronger When Encountering Strength’, gaining cultivation of True Saint Sixth Heaven!]

[Ding! Detected that the host is facing an attack from an enemy at the True Saint Seventh Heaven level. Activating passive effect of ‘Be Stronger When Encountering Strength’, gaining cultivation of True Saint Eighth Heaven!]

The system’s alerts rang continuously in Ye Junlin’s mind.

In an instant, his cultivation skyrocketed, reaching True Saint Eighth Heaven—equivalent to the pinnacle realm!

“This…”

Feeling the obvious surge in his aura, the three brothers nearly dropped their jaws in disbelief.

What kind of joke is this?!

This human native’s cultivation is already this high?

Even if he just broke through recently, isn’t this progress too fast?!

“As a reward, let you three brothers reunite!”

Ye Junlin wore a deeply meaningful smile, his aura like an unparalleled sword, shooting straight to the heavens.

“Not good!”

The eldest brother, Bone Wan, felt a chill run down his spine, watching as his sword’s might visibly crumbled before his eyes.

As the first to bear the brunt, his body disintegrated.

“Elder Brother!”

Bone Qian and Bone Bai, bloodshot eyes glaring, shrieked,

“I told you I’d let you reunite!” Ye Junlin swung the Human Sovereign Sword, the sword light crashing like roaring waves, overpowering all.

“Ah…”

Cries of despair rang out.

The two brothers soon followed in their elder brother’s footsteps.

At that moment, Ye Junlin summoned the already prepared Human Sovereign Banner, infused with Holy Force, releasing a bizarre force of attraction that silently drew in three souls.

Not even a chance for reincarnation!

This scene left Xiang Jiba slack-jawed.

The three Holy Beings from the Bone Sword Clan were wiped out so cleanly?

Xiang Jiba’s heart raced, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

After all this time, he finally realized he had severely underestimated that man!

Breaking through to the Saint level unnoticed while completely outplaying the Divine Court and Nine Nether forces—his schemes were profound, and his talent monstrous, the strongest he had ever encountered.

Just thinking about how they had shared drinks before made Xiang Jiba’s spine tingle, hairs standing on end!

Ye Junlin calmed his mind, inspecting the space within the Human Sovereign Banner, and found the three brothers he had just killed inside, their expressions twisted as if undergoing immense torture and pain.

No matter how powerful the souls were before they were collected, once they entered the Human Sovereign Banner, they would be refined into obedient soul slaves!

Soon, the brothers’ faces grew numb, surrendering their resistance and losing self-awareness.

“Tsk tsk, consider yourselves lucky, being the first in here to grab VIP seats,” Ye Junlin remarked with amusement.

With this move, not only had his cultivation soared, but he also gained three Holy Being subordinates—what a sweet deal!

Putting away the Magical Treasure, Ye Junlin, in high spirits, smiled at Xiang Jiba, “Xiang, my friend, I didn’t scare you, did I?”

Looking at the kind smile of the silver-haired youth, Xiang Jiba couldn’t help but feel a shiver run down his spine, trembling all over.

Who would have thought this guy just slaughtered three Holy Beings?

So strong!

“Ye, Senior Ye, you’re joking…” Xiang Jiba quickly bowed his head and clasped his hands.

Given his current status, he was no longer qualified to stand on equal footing with the other.

Ye Junlin turned stern, “What’s with this ‘Senior’? It makes it sound so awkward. Let’s call each other friends instead!”

“Is that… really okay?” Xiang Jiba frowned, finding it difficult, since Ye Junlin’s strength was so overwhelmingly greater—it’d be like crushing an ant, making it hard to address him as a friend.

Ye Junlin retorted, “I said it’s fine, you’re not disrespecting me, are you?”

Xiang Jiba’s heart shook, shaking his head as if it were a rattle drum, “No, absolutely not!”

Ye Junlin’s expression softened, smiling, “That’s good then.”

“Ye… Ye, my friend,” Xiang Jiba mustered his courage, “I must admit I’m quite shocked by your abilities,” but then hesitated, “However, doing this might bring even bigger troubles!”

“Oh? Why do you say that?”

Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow.

“You killed three Holy Beings sent by Nine Nether, and they definitely won’t let it slide. I believe they will send more Holy Beings to probe you out soon.”

“What if, by then, you’re all alone and unable to fend them off?”

Xiang Jiba worriedly pointed out.

True Saints are merely the lower tier among Holy Beings; in the face of a colossal force like Nine Nether, they could easily mobilize a large number.

Hearing this, Ye Junlin’s eyes sparkled—wasn’t this just what he intended to achieve?

In that case, the supply for the Human Sovereign Banner would be guaranteed!

“Don’t worry; I make it a point to meet challenges head-on. I’m never afraid of any outside threat.”

Ye Junlin said with a smile.

Internally, he added, “Because the stronger the opponent, the stronger I become!”

Witnessing this, Xiang Jiba understood that more words were futile.

He only felt it was a pity for this incredible talent.

If he had been born in the Holy Martial Realm, wouldn’t his master Panlong Wusheng have cherished him as a treasure?

Unfortunately, there are no ‘ifs.’

Born in a weak realm while having offended two super forces—this even left his own master feeling helpless!

The disturbance earlier had also alerted the Celestial Court, but since Ye Junlin handled it quickly, many people remained oblivious to the specifics of what happened.

Liu Huangshu arrived first, his face filled with confusion, “Young friend Ye, what was that just now…”

He had a close relationship with Ye Junlin, addressing him as ‘young friend’ in private while maintaining the formality of calling him Emperor in public.

At this moment, Liu Huangshu was genuinely anxious, as he sensed familiar yet long-lost cultivation auras.

Only Holy Beings had such presence!

Years ago, the Four Absolutes of the Kunlun Realm were at this level!

This indicated that foreign Holy Beings had secretly infiltrated the Celestial Court, intending to bring trouble to the court master!

Ye Junlin nonchalantly replied, “Old Liu, don’t panic, those were three Holy Beings sent from Nine Nether.”

“What?!”

Liu Huangshu’s back went cold, pondering a possibility—that the Divine Court had tacitly permitted this action.

“Then, what happened to them?” Liu Huangshu trembled, looking around nervously, like he was facing a great enemy.

“It’s fine, I killed them all,” Ye Junlin said casually, appearing unfazed as if it were as simple as killing a chicken.

“Ah?!”

Liu Huangshu was left dumbfounded.

Wait, did you just annihilate three Holy Beings in the blink of an eye?
