Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 694

Faced with the concentrated fire from the Holy Ships, the Celestial Court was completely in a passive state, its earlier dominance completely lost.

After all, the Formation of All Beings was only a high-grade True Saint Level Formation at the moment, and when combined with Liu Huangshu and others’ strength, it could at most withstand some Celestial Saints.

However, each attack from those Holy Ships was equivalent to a full-force strike from top-tier Celestial Saints.

In such a situation, how could they possibly defend against it?

The entire Celestial Court was violently shaking, with cracks gradually appearing on the surface shield as if it couldn’t bear the strain.

Liu Huangshu’s face was grim as he gritted his teeth and said, “We’re in trouble now.”

Sweat the size of beans dripped from everyone’s foreheads; their Holy Power was rapidly dwindling, and seeing the situation turn dire, their hearts felt overwhelmingly heavy.

If the protective shield were breached, the Celestial Court would face devastating calamity!

“Master, what should we do?” Li Wujie instinctively asked.

In his memory, every time they faced a major danger, that silver-haired young man had managed to respond calmly and turn the tides.

So, Li Wujie felt more composed than the others because he thought as long as Master was present, any catastrophic crisis could be resolved!

Just as this thought left his mouth.

Countless incredulous gazes converged on Ye Junlin.

“Tian Di…” Bu Qianfan and the others had complicated expressions; while they desperately wanted to believe in Ye Junlin, from their standpoint, they couldn’t figure out how he could reverse the situation at this critical moment.

Looking at the countless Holy Ships, Ye Junlin showed no signs of panic, with a playful smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

“It’s about time!”

The backup plan he had prepared revealed itself entirely at this moment.

Amidst the astonished gazes, Ye Junlin first formed a hand sign, then snapped his fingers casually.

Snap!

Suddenly.

In the sky, one by one, the Celestial Saint Level Formations hidden in the space began to surface, releasing intense energy fluctuations.

A terrifying storm filled with dense black lightning appeared, rampaging recklessly among the fleet of Holy Ships.

The hard shell made of Holy Iron seemed particularly fragile in the face of this endless storm of thunder, being torn apart in no time.

Some of the Nine Nether Saints stationed inside directly suffered, getting caught in the thunderstorm and having their bodies shredded, leaving no complete corpses!

“Ahhh…”

Shrill screams filled the air, sending chills down spines.

Everywhere one looked, there were shredded steel Holy Ships, some of them snapped in half with severe damage, others shredded into chunks—basically, they were as fragile as thin paper in the face of the thunderstorm, utterly ineffective.

Inside, the beings carried had all met a tragic end, with only a few managing to escape due to their minimal involvement, screaming in terror with faces full of shock.

“Quick, withdraw! We’ve walked into a trap!”

“The power of these formations is so terrifying that even our Holy Ships can’t withstand such attacks!”

“To arrange a formation of this scale, the opponent must at least be a Sixth-Stage Formation Saint!”

“How is that possible? A Sixth-Stage Formation Saint in such a backwater place?!”

Incredulous exclamations rang out, and many Nine Nether cultivators showed shock, hesitating to act in the face of the frenzied lightning storm.

In today’s era, a Formation Saint, regardless of which side, was considered a strategic-level talent.

A powerful Formation Saint could even change the tide of a battle, much more significant than countless Saints!

And the formations faced by the Nine Nether Army at the moment were high-grade top-tier Celestial Saint Level Formations.

Each one had the power to annihilate top Celestial Saints. With thousands of formations launching at once, the Nine Nether Army suffered significant losses!

No one knew.

Thanks to the formation experience bundle previously given by the system, Ye Junlin had long reached the level of a Ninth-Stage Formation Saint in terms of formation skills. However, due to his cultivation level, the effects he could exert were limited.

Additionally, arranging such formations required relevant Holy Level materials, limiting Ye Junlin to only be able to set up high-grade Celestial Saint Level Formations.

If all conditions were met, Ye Junlin could arrange top-tier Ancient Saint Level Formations, perfectly showcasing his prowess as a Ninth-Stage Formation Saint!

At this very moment.

A large number of Holy Ships were destroyed; this once unstoppable torrent of steel was almost entirely obliterated in a matter of time!

Witnessing this scene, the Celestial Court crowd was dumbfounded.

“What the hell!”

“What the hell!”

“What the hell!”

“What the hell!”

…

In the crowd, one exclamation after another rang out, simple yet brutal, brimming with sheer shock.

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at this spectacular sight!

This twist left them completely unprepared!

“Master really has a plan! I knew it!” Li Wujie raised his chin, wearing a proud expression, glancing at the dumbfounded crowd, as if to say he had predicted it all along.

“Heh, I never worried,” Hong Qianye said, standing with her hands behind her back, speaking nonchalantly as if such a scene was trivial in her eyes.

Bu Qianfan and the others found it hard to remain calm, their hearts racing; at this moment, they finally understood why these two disciples trusted their Master so much.

It turned out this was a commonplace maneuver!

Especially Liu Huangshu, who felt a significant impact on his psyche when he saw so many top-tier Celestial Saint Level Formations appear.

Because he had always thought he was the strongest formation master in the Celestial Court and even in this world.

Yet it turned out that a Master was right beside him!

Liu Huangshu swallowed hard, his emotions particularly complicated, secretly asking, “Ye Xiao-young, how could your formation level be so high? Who taught you these?”

This was something he genuinely wanted to know.

After all, even he couldn’t arrange these advanced formations, which definitely couldn’t be learned in just one or two days!

Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow. “Do you even need to be taught this?”

“What?!”

Liu Huangshu was stunned as if struck by lightning, the words echoing in his mind.

Do you even need to be taught this?

Need to be taught?

To teach?

Teach?

To him, this felt like the essence of being self-taught!

How ridiculous was it for him to consider himself a genius in formations, unmatched by anyone? Even if he lagged behind due to special reasons, he still believed with enough time, he could catch up and reclaim his position at the pinnacle of the formation world.

Who would have guessed that Ye Junlin’s appearance would deliver him a devastating blow, severely wounding his pride!

What a joke?!

He entered the field later, yet achieved greater heights!

Furthermore, he was self-taught, surpassing the accumulation of countless years of effort. Compared to Ye Junlin, his past achievements were nothing!

“A genius, you truly are the real genius…”

Liu Huangshu’s tone was bitter, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. But on second thought, having such a person lead them should be a cause for joy.

How foolish it was for him to think about teaching the other person formation knowledge; that was simply showing off, since the guy didn’t need him at all. No wonder he had directly refused him during the inheritance on Fallen Immortal Island!

“You want to learn? I’ll teach you!” Ye Junlin recalled a line from a movie and said it offhandedly.

Liu Huangshu’s pupils widened, his face revealing uncontainable anticipation. “Really, really?”

Although a bit embarrassing, being able to learn something new and improve his formation level was worth it.

“Just kidding, don’t take it seriously,” Ye Junlin waved his hand.

Liu Huangshu was stunned, his mouth hanging open in disbelief. After a moment, he blurted out:

“Seriously, are you messing with me?!”
