NOVEL NEXT Chapter 53
“What? A cultivation level in the middle stage of Tribulation?!” The Ancestor of the Xue Family was stunned, his heart shaking madly.
This guy is quietly stronger than him!
The Xue father and son felt like they had fallen into an ice cellar, their faces turning as pale as ghosts as they stammered, “Virtual Immortal? How could he be a Virtual Immortal?!”
Especially Xue Tianyi, his mental state completely collapsed!
The reason he felt his status was higher than Ye Junlin’s was all thanks to the Virtual Immortal Ancestor of the Xue Family backing him up.
Didn’t expect that the guy himself was the Virtual Immortal!
The guests gaped, their understanding shaken to the core.
“Holy hell! Ye Junlin isn’t a Venerable, but a deeply skilled Virtual Immortal!”
“No wonder he was so cocky earlier; he was fearless because he had the strength to back it up!”
“He just played everyone for fools! How long was he going to hide this if it wasn’t for today’s banquet?”
“I say, Yuhua Sect is definitely the biggest victim here!”
…
The cultivators from all over the Eastern Domain were shocked by Ye Junlin’s true cultivation level, while silently mourning for the Giant Sun Virtual Immortal.
Swish!
A light orb suddenly extinguished, and a golden figure stood firmly in the void.
The Giant Sun Virtual Immortal’s golden hair danced wildly, his eyes fixed on Ye Junlin, his facial muscles twitching uncontrollably.
Does he think he’s playing me like a monkey?
Clearly already at the middle stage of Tribulation, yet he pretended to be a Great Ascension cultivator, fooling the whole Yuhua Sect!
Not long ago, the Giant Sun Virtual Immortal had broken through to Tribulation, and upon hearing about the recent difficulties faced by the sect, he planned to use this banquet at the Xue Family to eliminate this major worry with a heavy hand.
After all, as a dignified Virtual Immortal, taking out a Venerable should be a piece of cake, right?
Who would have thought it would backfire, and the other party actually had a higher cultivation level!
He let his guard down!
The Giant Sun Virtual Immortal grew angrier, fury spilling out as he shouted, “Shameless! To have the cultivation of a Virtual Immortal yet hide it, you’ve disgraced the entire sect of cultivators!”
“It’s a misunderstanding! I just broke through! I really was at Great Ascension before, I swear on heaven!” Ye Junlin said earnestly, as if swearing an oath.
“Nonsense! Do you take me for a three-year-old?” The Giant Sun Virtual Immortal was so furious he almost spat blood. He had never heard such a poor lie.
“Eh, believe what you want,” Ye Junlin shrugged, looking helpless.
The onlookers couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of their mouths, feeling embarrassed for the silver-haired youth’s thick skin.
“Roar!”
At that moment, the Giant Sun Virtual Immortal let out a long howl, releasing countless beams of light, then quickly charged up, unleashing a powerful golden palm print, filled with terrifying energy fluctuations.
Swish!
A golden palm print spanning a thousand feet appeared in the sky, covered in countless radiant runes.
In the palm’s center floated an oversized light ball, vast heat waves flooding the area, leaving everyone parched.
Meanwhile, Ye Junlin crossed his arms, standing firm against the attack with a mocking smile on his face.
“Die!!”
The Giant Sun Virtual Immortal, seeing the other party’s arrogance and disregard, felt his anger boil over, his face filled with killing intent as he roared.
Boom…
The explosive light burst forth dazzlingly, chaos reigning in the skies.
Sweat streamed down the Ancestor of the Xue Family’s forehead. As someone also in the early stage of Tribulation, how could the difference be so vast?
If he were to take that hit head-on, it’d be a disaster!
Let alone standing still and taking the full brunt of it; he’d probably evaporate on the spot!
“Hmph, relying on his higher cultivation to be so arrogant, he deserves to suffer at the hands of my friend, Giant Sun!”
The Ancestor of the Xue Family sneered, but the next second, his eyes widened like saucers and he exclaimed, “How is this possible?!”
There stood Ye Junlin still crossing his arms in the void, smoke dissipating around him, not a single scratch on him.
Sorry, but I’m not even bleeding!
“A weakling thinks he can take me down?” Ye Junlin scoffed.
With the Indestructible Body Art supporting him and his cultivation level advantage, his physical defense was nothing short of terrifying.
If it were any ordinary mid-stage Tribulation cultivator, taking that killing move directly would certainly result in severe injury.
“You!”
The Giant Sun Virtual Immortal was both shocked and furious; the previous move had no hint of softness, yet it had been blocked by the other’s body.
Instantly, his assessment of Ye Junlin’s strength climbed to a whole new level.
“Solar Wheel!” The Giant Sun Virtual Immortal raised his hand, and a golden metal ring appeared, its dazzling brilliance resembling a blazing sun under the infusion of magical power.
This was an incredibly rare mystical artifact!
Though it might be the lowest grade among mystical tools, it far surpassed the total of countless ninth-grade spirit tools!
You have to understand, once a spirit tool advances to a mystical artifact, it’s like the difference between an eel and a dragon; they aren’t even in the same league.
“This mystical artifact crafted with the full strength of the sect requires even late-stage Tribulation cultivators to tread carefully! Let’s see whether your toughness matches mine!”
The Giant Sun Virtual Immortal sneered and mobilized the Solar Wheel with all his might.
A hum resonated as the Solar Wheel burst forth with immeasurable divine light, cutting through space as it slashed toward Ye Junlin.
“Heh.”
Ye Junlin chuckled, secretly operating the Indestructible Body Art.
Boom, his aura instantly rose to towering heights, white energy surging upwards like a tsunami.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of harsh clanging echoed through the air.
The Solar Wheel spun rapidly, but Ye Junlin effortlessly blocked it with his arms, streams of fiery sparks raining down, capable of scorching the earth for three days and nights.
The scene was spectacular and disorienting.
“Damn it, I refuse to believe you’re this tough!” the Giant Sun Virtual Immortal roared.
Swish!
The Solar Wheel shot out blazing light, ramping up its power significantly, unleashing its indestructible strength as it ruthlessly struck toward Ye Junlin’s forehead.
The scorching wind howled in, and feeling the sharp intent to rip through him, Ye Junlin’s expression sharpened, finally taking things a bit seriously.
He raised both hands, clasping them tightly around the rapidly spinning Solar Wheel, sparks flying everywhere.
Seeing this display, the cultivators from various sects were left dumbfounded.
Is this even human? He’s barehanded, taking on a mystical artifact!
“That guy can’t possibly be a transformed ancient beast…” The Ancestor of the Xue Family was drenched in cold sweat, murmuring.
With such terrifying defensive capabilities, he would’ve been shredded to bits by the Solar Wheel long ago!
“How is this possible?”
The Giant Sun Virtual Immortal’s face turned pale.
“My toughness is something you can’t even dream of!”
Ye Junlin said a bit proudly, his understanding of his current physical state coming into focus.
Boom!
He unleashed a powerful punch, sending the Solar Wheel flying backward.
The Solar Wheel was forced back into the Giant Sun Virtual Immortal’s hands, who was now filled with shock.
This was a mystical artifact, second only to magical artifacts, containing terrifying power and meant to be a lethal weapon against Tribulation cultivators!
And yet he just took it with his flesh?!
He had never seen anyone this tough!
Ye Junlin shook his head and sighed, “Eh, since you helped me break through, I can give you another chance to go all out.”
Upon hearing this, the Giant Sun Virtual Immortal felt toyed with, his sense of humiliation rising, his violent aura pouring out, eyes bloodshot and chillingly terrifying.
“Ye Junlin! I won’t rest until we’re both dead!!”
Buzz buzz buzz…
Silver-white patterns began to emerge on his skin, shimmering brilliantly, enveloping the Giant Sun Virtual Immortal in a holy aura, as if he was about to ascend.
“Oh? I recognize that move; it’s called Feather Ascension Technique!” Ye Junlin teased.
“Shut up! Don’t you dare insult the secret technique of my Yuhua Sect!” the Giant Sun Virtual Immortal roared, flames practically shooting from his eyes.
At that moment, he bore a three-pointed star pattern on his forehead, silver light flashing in his eyes, his aura several times more potent than before.
“Kill!”
With a fierce roar, the Solar Wheel unleashed immense light, spinning rapidly and fracturing into thousands of shadows, like a whirlpool surrounding Ye Junlin.
In that moment, Ye Junlin felt real danger, quickly channeling the surging magical power within him, raising his hand to unleash the Human King Seal, shattering numerous Solar Wheel shadows.
Then he rushed toward the Giant Sun Virtual Immortal to suppress him!
“You won’t get away with this!”
With a hysterical roar, the Giant Sun Virtual Immortal poured all his energy to withstand this seal, every pore of his body bursting forth with blinding golden light.
Boom!
The Human King Seal was nullified.
“Fiery Sun Destruction!” The Giant Sun Virtual Immortal was covered in blood, his expression twisted like that of a madman, desperately activating the Yuhua Ascension Technique, his patterned skin cracking, yet the power he garnered was unimaginable.
Swish, round after round of golden suns blocked the sky, as if nine blazing suns had suddenly appeared, spreading boundless light across the land, waves of heat crashing down, creating an awe-inspiring scene.
“Ah…” Countless island residents were smoking, letting out chilling wails.
“The Giant Sun Virtual Immortal is going all out!” Many guests felt their scalps tingle, hurriedly calling forth their magical treasures to shield against the scorching light.
“I admit you’re strong, but what will you do when I unleash this move?” the Giant Sun Virtual Immortal sneered.
