Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 709

Just as the two were about to continue their nostalgic chat, a thunderous sound erupted from the sky, like countless bolts of Heavenly Thunder going off wildly, deafeningly.

“What’s going on?” Senior Gou jumped in shock.

Ye Junlin remained calm, a smirk playing on his lips, “Looks like trouble’s coming.”

Under the terrified gazes of the crowd, the barrier of the Kunlun Realm was forcibly shattered, and a massive alien fleet surged in aggressively, like a torrent of steel radiating an immense aura.

This fleet was entirely crimson, its hulls emblazoned with sun totems, representing some mysterious superpower!

“Is it people from the Immortal Realm?”

“No! They’re the legendary alien Fiends!”

“What?!”

The five great domains instantly fell into panic.

After all, many cultivators had never seen such a scene, and upon witnessing this colossal fleet, they felt as small as ants, a wave of helplessness surging over them.

At the forefront, a super battleship opened its hatch, and out stepped a handsome young man clad in metallic battle armor. His golden hair billowed in the wind, his golden eyes shone brightly, resembling a blazing sun in the sky.

From high above, the humiliating memories of the past flooded back to him. Taking a deep breath, the blonde youth curled his lips into a frosty smile,

“Surprised? I, Chen Xiao, have returned!”

In an instant, his grand and cold voice echoed throughout the Kunlun Realm, clear in everyone’s ears.

That’s right, he was the one who boasted about his Sun Immortal Body, always hanging that act of being an immortal in front of me—Chen Xiao!

Now, he was back with a vengeance!

Remember the Saint Son of the Yuhua Sect, Chen Xiao?

Originally, the Yuhua Sect conspired with the alien forces, but when the plot was exposed, they were wiped out. At the last moment, an Immortal from the Underworld Abyss fled through the Star Gate, taking the mentally damaged Chen Xiao with him, after which he vanished without a trace.

Initially, Chen Xiao was supposed to start his dark journey, but after being brought back to the Underworld, he lived a life worse than a pig or dog. However, due to his extreme experiences, he unintentionally awakened to an even more powerful physique—the Sun Holy Body!

It was during that awakening that he released the aura of the Sun Holy Body, which was sensed by a certain Saint King Realm expert traversing the galaxies, leading to a complete turnaround in his fate.

This expert was the Grand Elder of the Blazing Sun civilization, which ranked fiftieth in the Divine Court—quite powerful.

And since Chen Xiao awakened the Sun Holy Body, it was highly regarded by the Blazing Sun civilization, which made him eligible to become the next King of the Blazing Sun!

So, Chen Xiao flipped the script dramatically, transforming from a nobody to a rising phoenix!

Poor Underworld folks didn’t take Chen Xiao seriously at first, treating him like a slave, but when he hitched a ride on a powerful ship, the entire Underworld turned upside down.

The ancestor of the Underworld even personally approached him, seeking forgiveness and offering to lead the whole tribe in loyalty to him.

It’s worth mentioning that this Underworld ancestor was the founder of the Abyss, the first Underworld Ancestor, with a cultivation level at the True Saint Realm.

But alas, before a Saint King, he was as insignificant as an ant!

Of course, Chen Xiao wouldn’t miss this chance for revenge. Those tortures and oppressions he’d endured had twisted his heart, so he directly ordered that Grand Elder to cleanse the entire Underworld, leaving not a single soul alive.

For that Grand Elder, eradicating a race of the Underworld’s caliber was as easy as eating and drinking.

The key was that with Chen Xiao carrying the Sun Holy Body back, he would undoubtedly be rewarded, and if he became the next King of the Blazing Sun, there’d be plenty of benefits in store for him.

Thinking this, the Grand Elder took immediate action, exterminating the entire Underworld in the desperate gaze of its people!

Thus, the Underworld was completely obliterated from the starry skies!

After being brought back by the Grand Elder, Chen Xiao was immediately welcomed and adopted as a foster son by the reigning King of the Blazing Sun, who valued him highly.

Because Chen Xiao’s Sun Holy Body resonated perfectly with the royal techniques of the Blazing Sun, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

Plus, the Blazing Sun civilization viewed him as the next King, sparing no expense in providing support with all kinds of heavenly materials!

And so, Chen Xiao first became an Immortal, then a Saint, and now he was a powerful figure at the Celestial Saint Realm!

Due to his past heavy setbacks in the Kunlun Realm, he was determined to take this opportunity to lead an invincible fleet back to Kunlun Realm.

He wanted to turn the Kunlun Realm into a colony, exterminating all his former enemies!

Returning here, Chen Xiao’s mood was completely different.

It felt like leveling up from the beginner village, coming back at max level!

At this moment, when the whole world heard Chen Xiao’s voice, it fell silent, and then everyone began to whisper among themselves.

“Chen Xiao? Who’s that?”

“Don’t know!”

“Is he a person from our Kunlun Realm?”

“Uh, do we have someone like that in Kunlun Realm? I’ve never heard of him before!”

…

Murmurs arose everywhere.

Clearly, everyone was unfamiliar with the name Chen Xiao.

Hearing this chatter, Chen Xiao’s face turned sourer than if he’d eaten something nasty, his lips twitching.

Ugh, how embarrassing!

Though he used to be a notable figure, his fame was limited to the Eastern Domain. Over time, as new talents emerged in the Kunlun Realm, Chen Xiao’s name had completely faded from history.

“Chen Xiao?”

In the Eastern Domain, a cultivator with a good memory questioned with suspicion.

“Dao friend, do you perhaps know him?” someone nearby asked curiously.

“Do you all remember the Yuhua Sect?” that cultivator mused.

“Of course! That was the sect that betrayed the Human Race and colluded with alien forces! They’re to be forever branded on the pillar of shame!”

“Indeed, but do you remember that the former Saint Son of the Yuhua Sect was named Chen Xiao!”

“No way!!!!”

Upon realizing his identity, many were left in utter disbelief.

Originally, it was well-known that the Yuhua Sect had betrayed the Human Race, and their treachery led to their extermination by the righteous Eastern Domain coalition. Everyone knew that, but no one had expected that a survivor remained—that was Saint Son Chen Xiao!

“So, back then he didn’t die; he was taken by the alien races!”

“Damn, how come he didn’t perish out there but has come back, looking for trouble no less!”

“We’re doomed!”

…

“Ye, Ye Dao friend, that guy named Chen Xiao seems really strong,” Senior Gou said, feeling his scalp tingle. With his Immortal Sovereign cultivation, he was shocked into profound fear at this scene.

Ye Junlin also remembered this character, a glint of surprise appearing in his eyes.

Chen Xiao’s forceful return caught him off guard.

Looks like this is a seriously underestimated figure!

If you say he’s lucky, yeah, he really is, but if you say he’s unlucky, he just happens to show up at this time.

Isn’t that just walking into a bathroom with a lantern looking for a pile of crap (or death)?
