Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 730

Seeing that this silver-haired youth didn’t show any particular panic and instead questioned him calmly, the Mysterious Person was a bit taken aback.

“With your current status, you’re not worthy of knowing my origins.”

The Mysterious Person’s tone carried a hint of arrogance, as if the fact were undeniable.

Ye Junlin chuckled.

So far, anyone bold enough to act so arrogantly in front of him ended up as nothing more than a messy pile of ashes!

“You’re possessing my friend’s body to meet me, obviously, so who do you think you are to talk big like that?”

With that, Ye Junlin poured himself another drink and casually took a sip, completely disregarding his opponent.

As soon as he said that, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply to freezing point.

The Mysterious Person’s gaze turned icy as he stared daggers at Ye Junlin.

What kind of identity did he possess?

In the entire universe, only one could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, the rest were mere ants!

Now, being mocked by an ant made him seethe with rage.

After a moment, the Mysterious Person’s expression returned to calm, his face as inscrutable as an ancient well, and said lightly, “I don’t need to prove anything to an ant like you. The reason I used this body to meet you is for reasons that cannot be spoken.”

Ye Junlin downed a cup of Sacred Wine, snickering, “Stop patting yourself on the back. You’re just afraid your whereabouts will be exposed, which is why you came to see me all sneaky-like. Let me guess: the one you fear is probably a force to be reckoned with.”

The Mysterious Person’s lips twitched.

Ye Junlin had hit the nail on the head, leaving him speechless!

After all, someone of his caliber could easily eliminate Ye Junlin with just a movement of his finger, all while annihilating this troublesome world too.

But he hadn’t done that, for a very simple reason.

Once he made a move, he would be detected in an instant, triggering a greater conflict; at least for now, he wasn’t sure of victory.

So, he had to resort to this desperate measure!

“Tsk, I really hit the mark, didn’t I?”

Ye Junlin scoffed.

Some nobody showing up like this and still trying to act tough in front of him was simply laughable!

The Mysterious Person: “…”

Being called out like this made him feel exceptionally humiliated!

“Alright, spill your purpose,” Ye Junlin drummed his fingers on the table, locking eyes with “Xiang Jiba,” showing no sign of backing down.

The Mysterious Person sneered, “Heh, you only have two choices before you.”

“First, go destroy the Star Core of the Kunlun Realm and join the Nine Nether; I guarantee you’ll be fine.”

“Second, you… die!”

His words were laden with an undeniable domination.

Ye Junlin’s eyes lit up.

He had already had suspicions but now it was confirmed: his opponent was a super big shot from the Nine Nether Realm!

At least at the level of the Saint Ancestor!

After all, mere Saint Kings could not give him such an oppressive feeling.

“Let me destroy the Star Core of the Kunlun Realm and join you in the Nine Nether? That’s the biggest joke I’ve ever heard.”

Ye Junlin sneered, “Did you think your little rebellion from back then would work again?”

Back then, the Kunlun Realm’s decline was due to Luan, one of the Four Absolutes, who had polluted the Star Core and thrown himself into the arms of the Nine Nether.

And now, someone else wanted to use the same trick on him?

“Heh, you’re mentioning him? He’s doing just fine, standing side by side with another guy firmly on my Nine Nether side.” The Mysterious Person said with a cryptic smile.

“Another guy?”

Ye Junlin raised his eyebrows, a name flickering in his mind.

“Just know, you have to do this, and soon you’ll see that your decision was the right one.”

“If not, it’s a dead-end!”

At this point, a fiery black aura surged around the Mysterious Person, as if he were about to transform into the source of disaster, ready to devour all life.

Ye Junlin snickered, “Do you really think I’d fall for this kids’ play? You dare threaten me? If you’ve got the guts, go ahead and try! Even if you possess my friend’s body, I could still smash you into pieces with my bare fists!!!”

Life and death were just a game to him; if he wasn’t convinced, he’d fight!

Besides, when faced with strength, he only grew stronger!

Seeing the silver-haired youth’s firm tone and aura matching his own, the Mysterious Person’s expression darkened.

From the moment they met, he hadn’t achieved the expected effect. The other party seemed unfazed by any threats, exuding an already overwhelming vibe.

Since that was the case, he’d have to kill him to prevent future troubles!

“You ant can’t even imagine that I use the universe as a chessboard and all beings as pieces, all for the greater good!”

“And for you to become an important piece on this board is already a tremendous honor; yet you insist on ruining the game, so as the one in control, I have to cripple you!”

His cold, indifferent voice carried a murderous intent that echoed throughout the attic, leaving everyone stunned.

“What kind of nonsense about chess pieces? I’d rather have all of humanity… everyone a dragon!”

Ye Junlin stood up, exuding a powerful aura, his eyes blazing like the sun, his silver hair flowing wildly.

His voice boomed loud enough to shake the entire Heavenly Court!

Instantly, everyone in the Heavenly Court was stunned, unsure of what was happening.

“Everyone a dragon? Ridiculous!” The Mysterious Person suppressed his trembling heart and raised his hand to grab Ye Junlin, his palm as dark as ink, radiating a dreadful pressure that could wipe out everything.

[Ding, detected that the host is facing an attack from an Eighth-Level Saint King enemy, activating the ‘Grow Stronger in the Face of Strength’ passive effect. Host gains a Ninth-Level Saint King cultivation!]

The system notification chimed.

At that moment, Ye Junlin’s cultivation soared from the First Level of Saint King to the Ninth Level, a massive leap that resulted in tremendous power growth!

Boom~!!!

In an instant, their palms clashed, the shockwaves turning the attic into dust, the surges scattering destructively, obliterating buildings in their path.

The Mysterious Person was left dumbfounded; his fierce attack was unexpectedly blocked by the other party.

Ye Junlin’s eyes flickered with surprise as he disdainfully remarked, “You don’t seem as strong as you look~.”

He thought the other side would elevate him to the Saint Ancestor level!

But was that all?

Hearing this, the Mysterious Person’s face twitched in anger.

If he had really used his true self, he could easily wipe out all living beings in the Kunlun Realm with a finger.

But to avoid detection by that figure in the Divine Court, he could only use less than ten percent of his power and possess this body.

He had originally thought he could easily handle his target, but unexpectedly, this person’s strength exceeded his expectations.

How long has it been?

And this guy was already a super powerhouse at the Ninth Level of Saint King!

At this speed, reaching the Saint Ancestor Realm was just around the corner!

“Your growth rate is the fastest I’ve ever seen, but too bad you won’t be used by me and insist on opposing me.”

“So, you must die!”

The Mysterious Person launched another fierce attack, and a pair of bizarre eyes appeared behind him, as if some unknown horrifying entity was watching everything, adding immense pressure to the atmosphere.

Boom boom boom boom~!

The sounds of explosions filled the air, as the surrounding void began to collapse.

Ye Junlin frowned; he had been worried about harming Xiang Jiba, but it was clear that was a redundant thought because the possessed opponent was extraordinarily powerful.

Even though he was more skilled, he couldn’t completely suppress him; the other party released a strange energy that steadily diminished the power of his attacks in combat.

As a result, his initially formidable strikes were drastically weakened!

The two figures erupted into battle, ascending rapidly into the skies over the Heavenly Court.

This scene left all the cultivators in the Heavenly Court aghast.

“Who’s the Heavenly Emperor fighting with?”

“Is there really someone strong enough to match the Heavenly Emperor?!”

“Who is that man?!”

…

Gasps filled the air as the Heavenly Court descended into chaos.

Liu Huangshu and the others were especially confused, since that man was the Xiang Jiba they had just brought in!

“This is weird; wasn’t he a friend of the Heavenly Emperor? Why are they suddenly fighting?”

“Could it be they’re just sparring?”

“No way, this looks like a death match!”

Everyone was stunned.

Among them, Liu Huangshu, after recovering from his shock, felt puzzled; he clearly saw Xiang Jiba struggling against Ye Junlin’s two disciples—how could he be opposing Ye Junlin now?

Hong Qianye and Li Wujie also found it unbelievable; after all, if he had trouble even with them, how could he be now holding his own against their Master? The aura swirling around him was already far beyond what they’d experienced during their battles.

If it were their turn now, they would have been knocked out in an instant!

“What on earth is happening? Did he let us win before?”
