Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 712

In an instant, an immense and unknown power descended, enveloping the Solar Mecha!

Boom, boom, boom! The terrifying explosion sounds shook the heart, as the Solar Mecha endured unprecedented immense damage, hot black smoke billowing from every inch, electric currents sparking erratically.

“Damn it, how is this possible?!” The red lights in the control room flickered wildly, reflecting Chen Xiao’s incredulous face, fear evident in his eyes.

“Uh,”

Empress Fuyao furrowed her brow, a pained expression crossing her face, as if she had suffered some backlash. Yet, even so, she held on, because the battle was far from over.

If she didn’t deal with Chen Xiao and his crew quickly, the entire Kunlun Realm would plunge into darkness.

“I am the Empress of the Kunlun Realm, and I shall suppress all enemies from beyond!!!”

Empress Fuyao proclaimed loudly, exuding absolute dominance, causing countless beings to shed tears.

She concentrated what little power she had left into a single finger, the tip shining brilliantly as she pointed towards the head of the Solar Mecha.

The Great Cataclysm Finger!

Boom~

The head of the Solar Mecha was struck fiercely, igniting a massive explosion of flames.

“Ah…” The Heavenly Saint-level guards inside were nearly killed by the aftermath, the rest scrambling to find Chen Xiao in the control room to protect him as he escaped.

“Your Highness, we need to flee! The Solar Mecha is about to go down!” A bloodied guard rushed into the control room, anxious.

Chen Xiao had blood at the corners of his mouth, struggling to accept this reality; he couldn’t understand why it had come to this.

He should’ve had everything going for him!

This woman was just too strong!

“No, I can’t run away like this, I’m here for revenge! I’m going to turn everyone in this world into my slaves!”

“Anyone who tries to stop me will die!!”

Chen Xiao yelled hysterically.

He piloted the damaged Solar Mecha and fired a solar energy cannon at Empress Fuyao.

The surrounding void trembled, the energy shockwave seemed to roar, engulfing Empress Fuyao.

In this critical moment.

Empress Fuyao calmed her mind and performed a Yin-Yang Taiji diagram with her hands, the black and white swirling endlessly, exuding profound Taoist charm.

In the next second, the energy cannon hit the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram, miraculously flowing around it like water.

“Take this back!”

Empress Fuyao coldly shouted, sending the solar energy cannon flying back towards the Solar Mecha’s head.

“Protect His Highness!”

Several Heavenly Saint-level guards exclaimed.

Bang!

The head of the mecha was blown apart completely, leaving only the wrecked iron body to plummet towards a certain location in the Eastern Domain, creating a tremendous mushroom cloud and shaking the ground.

A bloodied figure stumbled out.

It was Chen Xiao!

The few guards meant to protect him were dead, or else his situation would have been even worse.

At this moment, Chen Xiao wore an expression of bitter rage, staring at the imposing figure with undeniable majesty that hovered in the air, filled with awe and fear, his heart racing.

“Just you wait! This Prince will go back to Sun Blaze Star for reinforcements, and the entire Kunlun Realm will pay a more terrible price for your resistance!”

Saying this, he transformed into a blazing sun and soared toward the starry sky beyond, desperate to escape this place of calamity.

“Don’t even think about running!”

Having defeated the Ancient Saint-level Solar Mecha, Empress Fuyao’s Three Flowers Gather at the Top state was broken.

As she saw the mastermind about to escape, she wanted to pursue, but a sudden wave of dizziness overwhelmed her, forcing her to stop.

Indeed, with her current level, achieving what she had just done was already pushing her limits, on the verge of exhaustion. If she insisted on chasing after him in this state, she risked being counter-killed!

“Well then.”

Weighing the pros and cons, Empress Fuyao decided to abandon the pursuit of Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao bolted away, not even having the courage to look back. After the earlier battle, he was already scared stiff; even if someone told him that Empress Fuyao was out of energy, he wouldn’t take that risk.

Suddenly.

A silver-haired youth appeared ahead with a grin, blocking his way to the starry sky.

“Hey little bro, don’t be in such a hurry to leave.”

Ye Junlin smiled playfully.

Chen Xiao felt like he’d been struck by lightning, his eyes wide as if they might pop out, like he had just seen the scariest thing in his life, his heart almost stopped beating.

“It’s you?!”

Chen Xiao was not unfamiliar with the person before him; he had been oppressed by him back in the Kunlun Realm, beaten down to the point of doubting his life, his mentality completely collapsing.

Later, during the great battle, this very person had blocked the Star Gate, rampaging and obliterating the Yuhua Sect’s ambitions to collude with foreign powers.

Little did he know, Ye Junlin had grown to become the master of the Celestial Court, the most highly talked-about figure across the realms!

One could say that Chen Xiao had been living in his shadow all along. Even though Ye Junlin had just won a monumental victory, annihilating hundreds of thousands of Ancient Saints in the Holy Realm, Chen Xiao still couldn’t bring himself to believe that it was all his doing.

He would rather believe that a peerless powerhouse sent by the Divine Court was helping the Holy Realm through its crisis.

So this time he came back, aiming to secure an advantageous position and counter Ye Junlin with the Ancient Saint-level Solar Mecha.

But who knew, before formally engaging in combat, he was obliterated by another powerful woman!

Now without his greatest support, Chen Xiao couldn’t keep his bravado anymore, his heart trembling with sheer fear.

Ye Junlin clicked his tongue. “Kid, your luck isn’t bad. You made it this far, but in the end, you still could have had a comeback. If you had just stayed put, I wouldn’t have bothered you. But you had to come and stir up trouble; do you think I’ll let you off the hook?”

As he spoke, a murderous intent loomed.

Chen Xiao’s scalp tingled. “I’ll leave right now, never to set foot here again! Please spare me!”

Ye Junlin sighed, pulling out the Human Sovereign Banner. “Step right in, the accommodations are plentiful.”

“What, what is this?!”

Seeing the dark, eerie purple soul banner emitting black smoke, an instinctual fear gripped Chen Xiao.

“The Human Sovereign Banner—it’s an excellent place for cultivation, isn’t it right to repay kindness with kindness?” Ye Junlin lamented.

Naturally, Chen Xiao didn’t believe his nonsense, angrily retorting, “Why is your Human Sovereign Banner giving off black smoke? Do you think I’m an idiot?!”

“Ah, you’re mistaken; that’s the primordial purple energy. It’s just dark purple!” Ye Junlin chuckled and waved the Human Sovereign Banner towards him.

“No, no, please!”

“I’m the future heir of the King of the Blazing Sun! If you kill me, the entire Sun Blaze civilization won’t spare you!”

As Chen Xiao cried out in despair, just as he was about to be sucked into the Human Sovereign Banner, a radiant golden light erupted from his forehead, imbued with holiness.

Behind Chen Xiao, an immense phantom appeared, crowned and ancient, its imposing gaze fiery like two eternal suns.

Suddenly, the entire sky turned the color of magma, the temperature in the Kunlun Realm surged, flames igniting throughout, causing panic among the crowd.

“Not good.”

Empress Fuyao felt a chill in her heart, sensing an ominous turn.

The Human Sovereign Banner was pushed back by an overwhelming force, Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow, scrutinizing the powerful aura of the phantom, “Who are you?”

“I am the King of the Blazing Sun!”

The majestic, authoritative voice echoed like a huge bell, reverberating throughout the vast Kunlun Realm.

Indeed.

Behind Chen Xiao stood the phantom of the King of the Blazing Sun!

Due to Chen Xiao’s significant identity, the King of the Blazing Sun had long secretly left a mark of the Saint King. If he encountered life-threatening danger, this mark would activate and protect Chen Xiao by eliminating his foes!
