Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 683

“That’s right, it’s me.” Ye Junlin remarked with interest, his gaze scrutinizing the handsome young man ahead.

After receiving Canglang Jun’s message, he directly used the cross-domain teleportation array to instantly arrive at the Northern Cold Sacred Domain. As he neared the Li family, he felt an incredibly strong aura and without hesitation, he descended, witnessing the scene before him.

Li Ruotong looked at the towering figure blocking her way, memories flashing in her mind, leaving her with an inexplicable dreamy sensation.

Once, she viewed him as a rival; her unwillingness to lose drove her to always want to one-up him. Little did she know he would continually shock her, ultimately reaching heights she could only look up to…

Now, he was the highest leader of the entire world, a hope upon which countless cultivators depended!

In response, Li Ruotong’s heart swelled with respect, mixed with a hint of indescribable feelings.

The reason she had yet to find a partner was that she was fiercely strong-willed and had high standards. At that time, hardly any man could meet her criteria. She longed for a feeling of conquest, and Ye Junlin’s ability to turn crisis into calm made her transition from initial dissatisfaction and astonishment to admiration and eventually adoration!

Especially when faced with Xu Yaolin’s threat, Li Ruotong had lost all strength and means, falling into absolute passivity. It was in this crucial moment that Ye Junlin’s appearance was like a ray of light piercing through the darkness, undoubtedly bringing her immense hope!

The feeling of being rescued from despair was profound at that moment, awakening emotions buried deep within her heart, stronger than ever…

After confirming the man’s identity and seeing the change in Li Ruotong’s demeanor, Xu Yaolin was suddenly engulfed by an enormous fury, feeling as though his dignity had been severely trampled!

“Heh, it’s really you. Why aren’t you staying in your Celestial Court? What brings you here?” Xu Yaolin sneered, full of malice.

Ye Junlin smiled playfully, “Isn’t it because some idiot is bothering my friend, forcing me to make a trip?”

Li Ruotong smirked slightly, but upon realizing she was just a “friend” in his eyes, a hint of disappointment flashed through her beautiful eyes.

Hearing this, Xu Yaolin’s face turned red with anger, veins bulging dramatically on his neck, quite terrifying to behold.

He laughed in rage, “I come from the renowned Divine Eye Clan, ranking fourth in the world. The gap between us is immeasurable. What gives you the confidence to be so brazen with me?!”

Xu Yaolin invoked his identity, attempting to suppress Ye Junlin with his imposing presence to regain face.

However, Ye Junlin paused, disdain written all over his face, “I’ve taken down races far stronger than you before. What the hell do you think you are?!”

That was no lie; after all, he had encountered beings from the Bright Clan, the Undying Blood Clan, and even the Asura Clan, all of whom had fallen to his strength. The measly Divine Eye Clan was clearly at the back of the line.

“What did you say?!”

Xu Yaolin fumed with rage, a dark purple glow escaping from the slit between his brows, exuding a chilling, eerie aura.

For the Divine Eye Clan, the respect he held outside was now being forcefully diminished by this local.

How could he possibly tolerate that?!

The sky suddenly darkened, ominous clouds gathering ominously overhead, a terrifying and oppressive aura spreading across the Northern Cold Sacred Domain.

When Ye Junlin descended upon the Li family like a heavenly deity, Canglang Jun had noticed immediately but, due to the overwhelming pressure, he dared not approach. Now, seeing this, his heart trembled wildly.

“Great Ancestor, is a fight about to break out?” The clan members exclaimed in panic.

Canglang Jun steadied himself; after all, he had considerable authority within the family and couldn’t falter at this moment.

Raising his hand, he shouted, “Don’t panic! With the Celestial Emperor here, that outsider can’t stir up any trouble!”

“True,” the clan members nodded, filled with comfort and trust at the thought of the Celestial Court’s prowess.

Meanwhile, sensing this powerful aura, many outer domain cultivators waiting in the Northern Cold Sacred Domain all changed their expressions, casting shocked looks toward the Li family.

“What, do you want to make a move against me?” Ye Junlin’s smile was intriguing.

Perfectly in line with his wishes!

“I know your strength is considerable; you’ve even slain the Ghost Blade Heavenly Saint before. But if you think that’s enough to be reckless in front of me, you’re dead wrong!”

As he spoke, Xu Yaolin soared into the sky like a comet, surging holy energy shooting into the heavens, mysterious Saint Tattoos rapidly spreading across him, unleashing a terrifying presence.

In terms of cultivation and strength, he was indeed much stronger than the Ghost Blade Heavenly Saint, reaching the pinnacle level of the Celestial Saint realm!

“Today, I will eradicate you, the so-called master of the Celestial Court!” A grand, cold voice resounded through the heavens, tinged with a fierce killing intent.

Xu Yaolin raised his hand to form a seal, his face twisted in cruelty as he pressed down violently.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A huge, disc-like object began to spin rapidly around countless runes, glowing with blinding holy light, and faintly, there was a chant that seemed to resonate with the mind, captivating all who heard it.

This was his superior Celestial Sacred Artifact, the Heavenly Master Disc, capable of leading its target to a fate of languishing death!

Unleashing it with all his strength, it erupted with unimaginable might.

Li Ruotong, witnessing this scene, was shocked to her core, realizing she had severely underestimated his capabilities.

Even if she somehow broke through to the True Saint level, against an opponent of this caliber, she’d have no chance to withstand even a single blow!

“Heh, looks pretty impressive.”

Ye Junlin’s eyes sparkled with anticipation as a system prompt rang in his mind.

【Ding! Detected host facing an attack from a nine-level Celestial Saint enemy, triggering ‘stronger against the strong’ passive ability, gaining the cultivation level of a ten-level Celestial Saint!】

In an instant.

A dominating aura erupted from Ye Junlin; every inch of his skin seemed forged from undying holy crystal, radiating with brilliant, divine light.

In the next moment, he raised his fist tightly, golden Saint Tattoos appearing on his arm, golden Saint Aura swirling thickly, his might more terrifying than before, manifold.

“Break for me!”

Aiming directly at the massive grinding disc crashing down from above, Ye Junlin swung his fist forward, the fist light shining like a sacred sun, dazzling to the extreme.

Battle Saint Fist!

Then, under Xu Yaolin’s horrified gaze, his Heavenly Master Disc was struck by an overwhelming force, shattering into countless pieces, scattering holy artifact fragments everywhere, shocking him to his core.

“How is this possible?!!”

Xu Yaolin gasped in disbelief.

He never expected Ye Junlin’s cultivation could surpass his, but that wasn’t the point; the crucial thing was that his superior Celestial Sacred Artifact was just casually smashed to bits!

What kind of terrifying power did that punch possess?!

Imagining that punch had landed on him, Xu Yaolin couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat, his back turning icy.

Ye Junlin poked fun, “This thing isn’t even that tough!”

Li Ruotong seemed to think of something, her face flushing as she bit her lip.

“You…” Xu Yaolin finally snapped back to reality, looking at the silver-haired youth with entirely different eyes.

That level of destruction was simply monstrous!

He had every reason to suspect even a top-tier Celestial Sacred Artifact would struggle to withstand this guy’s attack!
