Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 692

When they learned that the Nine Nether Army was about to arrive, Liu Huangshu and the others couldn’t help but feel a surge of tension inside.

They knew this time was different. This was the real deal; it would determine the life or death of the Holy Realm!

Liu Huangshu took out a token, infused it with Saint Power, and a gigantic light screen appeared before him, showcasing the vastness of the outer starry skies.

At that moment, countless black dots began to appear in the image, rapidly spreading like a vast ocean. Upon closer inspection, it was an endless number of giant Holy Ships, moving War Fortresses, and Nine Nether Beings riding sacred beasts while wielding war soldiers.

The sheer quantity was as numerous as the stars, and wherever they moved, an overwhelming Saint’s Might surged forth, creating an incredibly terrifying sense of pressure that shook the void along their path—the entire starry sky seemed to be engulfed in fear!

In just a few breaths, they crashed through the defenses of the Holy Realm!

If they weren’t stopped in time, this terrifying Nine Nether Army would shatter the Holy Realm into pieces, turning it into cosmic dust!

Seeing this scene, a sense of impending doom cloaked everyone’s hearts, making it hard for the cultivators to catch their breath, their fighting spirit crushed in an instant.

After all, they had no clue what the Catastrophic Extermination Order meant; they thought it was just another outer army, slightly larger than before. But witnessing the reality struck them with overwhelming psychological shock!

Let’s be real.

There were only a handful of Saints on their side, while the opposing army boasted at least a million!

Was this the foundation of a superpower in the universe?

It was way too exaggerated!

At that moment, everyone from the Celestial Court realized the gap in strength, gaining a clear understanding of their own limited perspective.

There was no way out.

The Holy Realm was basically just a developing small Holy Dao World, and it ranked at the very bottom.

On the flip side, the Nine Nether army was comprised of Saints drawn from various realms, including large Holy Dao Worlds!

Like gathering sand into an ocean, the difference was instantly highlighted.

Don’t underestimate a million Saints; the life forms in the universe are countless, and right now, during the Holy Dao Era, they are rare for a small world. But if you had ten thousand, a hundred thousand, or a million small worlds?

Together, that’s quite a number!

As for the Holy Realm, it was too weak to stand against such a superpower as the Nine Nether.

It’s like an ant facing a giant dragon—the dragon sneezes, and it’s sent flying!

At this moment, everyone’s mood was as gloomy as a rain cloud, feeling particularly heavy.

Liu Huangshu snapped out of his shock and sighed helplessly, “Let’s do our best and leave the rest to fate…”

Unlike the pessimism of others, Ye Junlin had his eyes shining bright, filled with excitement.

Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!

A Holy Army of this scale was practically a blessing for the Human Sovereign Banner!

Ye Junlin could hardly imagine how much power absorbing such an immense number of Holy Souls would give the Human Sovereign Banner, and with countless Holy Soul Servants at his disposal, he’d be ridiculously strong!

“Tian Di, we…” Bu Qianfan said with a grim face.

He wasn’t afraid of dying; he was scared of dying in vain. After all, the strength gap was simply too vast. Even if he charged in, he’d probably be gone in two seconds flat.

How could they resist such a situation?

Ye Junlin declared confidently, “We’ll stick to the plan. As long as I’m here, we can win this battle!”

His tone was brimming with certainty, leaving no room for doubt.

“This…” The others’ expressions shifted slightly.

“With Master here, we will never lose!” Li Wujie was a die-hard fan. Based on past experiences, he believed if his Master said so, then there were absolutely no problems at all.

His job as a disciple was simply to follow orders without question!

Hong Qianye maintained a calm demeanor, “Exactly.”

Seeing the reaction of these two disciples, the rest of the cultivators exchanged glances, looking utterly bewildered at their lack of panic.

How could they not be nervous at a time like this? It was simply incomprehensible!

“Old Liu, it’s up to you to make the arrangements!” Ye Junlin instructed.

“Whew…” Liu Huangshu let out a heavy breath. Though feeling powerless, he had no choice but to pull himself together and follow through with his previous plans to defend against the enemy.

Liu Huangshu started focusing, fingers weaving intricate hand seals, and then pointed at a specific location, shouting:

“The Gathering of All Beings Formation, activate!”

Boom~

The entire majestic Celestial Court shook violently, with golden runes illuminating the sky as if wrapped in a golden orb.

Liu Huangshu fell into the formation’s center, holding a law flag infused with Saint Power, connecting with the other cultivators.

“Everyone, channel your strength to me!”

Upon hearing this, everyone complied, their bodies radiating varying colors of Saint Aura, flames of power igniting all around.

In an instant,

Hundreds of different powers converged into the law flag Liu Huangshu held, causing it to burst forth with dazzling brilliance and intense fluctuations.

Among them were six Saints, including Hong Qianye!

Ye Junlin was excluded because his cultivation level was at the Celestial Saint realm, meaning the formation Liu Huangshu set up couldn’t accommodate him yet—it was limited to those at the True Saint level and below.

Even so, with the backing of six True Saints and over a hundred Half-Saints, the power of this Gathering of All Beings Formation skyrocketed to terrifying levels, far exceeding the True Saint tier!

What kind of concept was this?

Even the formidable Ghost Blade Heavenly Saint and Xu Yaolin from the Divine Eye Race wouldn’t be able to withstand the formation’s power at this moment!

This was Liu Huangshu’s proudest masterpiece!

“Impressive idea,” Ye Junlin exclaimed beside him.

He couldn’t help but admit that Liu Huangshu’s talent in formations was extraordinary. No wonder he was the strongest formation master of the last era—now that his cultivation caught up, he was sure to achieve great things in the future.

Meanwhile,

The Nine Nether Army was drawing close, a vast sea of dark figures stretching endlessly, offering a strong visual impact and a horrifying sense of pressure!

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

The war cries echoed loudly, resonating throughout the Holy Realm.

The cultivators of the Holy Realm were struck with shock, their eyes wide with disbelief as they looked up.

“This is bad! The outer Heavenly Demons are coming for us!”

“Their aura is terrifying! Even from billions of miles away, I can feel the suffocating pressure!”

“What do we do? What should we do?!”

“Damn it, let’s fight back!”

……

As the Nine Nether Army loomed, only a glimpse of their might had the Holy Realm’s vast cultivators trembling with indescribable fear.

This formation was simply beyond what they could resist!

Many faces were filled with despair, losing all fighting spirit. Yet, some brash fools gritted their teeth, determined to fight to the death.

“You natives are doomed today!”

A high-ranking general from the Nine Nether Legion stood atop a bone dragon, cloaked in dark armor, his sinister eyes scanning the masses as he coldly declared, like the Grim Reaper announcing judgment.

He raised the massive sword in his hand and swung it down with a roar:

“Kill!!!”
