In the Immortal Realm, where even a True Immortal’s full-strength strike could barely chip a giant rock, the scene of destruction was nothing short of horrifying.

Just feeling the overwhelming wave of Immortal Power made many eager spectators tremble in fear, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.

Boom, boom, boom~

In less than half a stick of incense’s time, the already fragmented land exploded into dust, obliterated by a torrential energy storm.

Two figures, like twin suns, soared frantically amidst the fierce battle that continued in between.

The Luantian Blood Emperor had beads of sweat forming on his forehead, growing increasingly alarmed with every clash.

Though he had expected Ye Junlin’s strength to be formidable, he realized he had vastly underestimated him.

He thought that by using a forbidden technique from his clan, sacrificing his life essence to achieve a terrifying power boost, he could easily suppress his opponent.

Result?

Not only was he unable to suppress, he could barely hold his ground!

“Impossible! I refuse to believe that a mere lowly human can possess such capabilities!”

The Luantian Blood Emperor roared, his aura becoming as terrifying as a demon god.

In an instant, the Immortal Source within him trembled violently. Originally releasing Eight-Grade Immortal Power, it unexpectedly transformed into Nine-Grade Immortal Power at that moment!

Feeling the tumultuous change within, the Luantian Blood Emperor was momentarily stunned, then his face lit up with wild joy.

“I’ve finally succeeded! It’s the legendary Nine-Grade Immortal Power!”

Nine-Grade Immortal Power was the pinnacle of the Immortal Path, a feat so difficult to achieve it was beyond imagination.

It was even harder than obtaining the Immortal Path Crown of the Great Heaven Position!

He never expected that he had inadvertently triggered the transformation of his Immortal Source, allowing the ultimate evolution of his Immortal Power to happen!

This was a billion-to-one probability!

Sure enough.

I am the one destined for greatness, far beyond this human native!

At this moment, the Luantian Blood Emperor regained his former arrogance, filled with confidence that victory was already in his grasp as he stared down the silver-haired youth, grinning savagely:

“You are definitely going to lose, human!”

As he spoke, he frantically activated his Nine-Grade Immortal Power, unleashing one of his most powerful techniques.

With the boost of Nine-Grade Immortal Power, the power of this technique was now even more terrifying than before.

Squeak, squeak, squeak.

In the boundless sky, countless blood-red bats coalesced, exuding an evil aura.

“This move will certainly kill you!”

The Luantian Blood Emperor was brimming with confidence as he raised his hand to strike.

With a rustle, millions of blood-red bats flew towards Ye Junlin, swirling around him. From a distance, it looked like he was engulfed in a massive blood-colored hurricane, rendering his figure almost indistinguishable.

From afar, Bu Qianfan, who had found a safe spot, felt a chill run down his spine as he witnessed this familiar scene.

Earlier, he could rely on the Great Annihilation Slash to wipe out this army of blood bats, but now, even if he could unleash a hundred Great Annihilation Slashes, he would still be shredded in that vortex!

Just the thought of it was utterly despairing!

“Ye Junlin is in danger now…”

Bu Qianfan gritted his teeth.

Beside him, Li Ruotong remained silent, but a determined glint flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She believed that man would find a way to cope.

“Die!”

In the sky, the Luantian Blood Emperor cackled.

Who would have thought that…

Countless blood-red bats suddenly emitted piercing cries.

Whoosh, radiant five-colored light erupted from the blood vortex, filling the air with the robust vibes of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Boom, boom, boom~

A dazzling five-colored divine light, more brilliant than the sun, surged and expanded, devouring the legion of blood bats in its path, leaving nothing but void where it passed.

In the midst of countless astonished gazes, a graceful silver-haired figure stood high in the air.

He held a radiant five-colored orb as if it were the five-colored divine sun spanning the sky, visible to most cultivators across the North Cold Immortal Domain!

This was the Supreme Divine Ability, Five Extremes Reincarnation Destruction Technique, that Ye Junlin had not used for a long time!

Also powered by Nine-Grade Immortal Power, the might of the Five Extremes Reincarnation Destruction Technique was extraordinarily fearsome, quickly annihilating millions of blood bats.

“This… this is…”

The Luantian Blood Emperor’s pupils trembled.

Sensing the familiar aura of Immortal Power, he felt as if struck by lightning.

This guy, he too possesses Nine-Grade Immortal Power!

Seeing the blood-haired man’s flustered reaction, Ye Junlin smiled playfully,

“Congratulations, you’ve finally reached the same height as me in this regard, but this is where it ends.”

As he spoke, he hurled the radiant five-colored orb forward.

Boom…

The vast five-colored orb, carrying a torrent of energy, crushed towards the minuscule Luantian Blood Emperor, who felt like a speck of dust.

Feeling the unprecedented sense of oppression, the Luantian Blood Emperor’s scalp nearly burst. He had a vivid premonition of facing death.

In the final moment, he glared fiercely, unleashing a surge of blood energy from his body, raising both hands to forcefully push against the five-colored orb, howling in a crazed rage:

“I am the Luantian Blood Emperor! The unparalleled Duke of the Undying Blood Clan! I will never lose to a mere human native!!”

In the void, a pair of blood-colored hands emerged, covered with countless strange runes, then heavily struck against the five-colored orb.

Boom!

The blood-colored hands stabilized the five-colored orb, creating a visually stunning scene.

“Ugh!”

The Luantian Blood Emperor clenched his jaw tightly, his face purple with veins standing out, his hands trembling violently, every muscle in his body straining.

Seeing this, Ye Junlin sneered, “Heh, seems like you can hold on quite a bit.”

Suddenly, he pressed down with his hand.

Whoosh!

The five-colored orb blazed even more brightly, illuminating the world.

“You…”

The Luantian Blood Emperor’s body began to sink, blood seeping from his mouth, and disbelief filled his eyes.

How is this possible?

I have already done everything I could, so why is it still like this?

Does this human’s power have no limits?

“Ah…” Soon, the Luantian Blood Emperor, unable to endure, was overwhelmed by a blast from the Five Extremes Reincarnation Destruction Technique, driven deep into the ground.

Boom, boom, boom~!

A giant pit over ten million kilometers in diameter appeared.

“So strong?!” Bu Qianfan’s expression was shock-struck, his mind like a raging storm.

Remembering his earlier underestimation of Ye Junlin, he felt utterly ashamed.

This level of strength was already at the top tier of the top echelon; it was definitely at the level of a ceiling!

Seeing this, Li Ruotong couldn’t help but smile, saying, “Bu Qianfan, you can always trust Ye Junlin’s power.”

“Yes, yes, yes! Now I really believe it. I didn’t expect Ye Junlin to be this powerful; he truly deserves to be the first man in the Immortal Realm to dare to call himself ‘Heavenly Emperor,'” Bu Qianfan lamented, feeling utterly inferior.

Today, he had truly opened his eyes and was glad to see such a transcendent powerhouse emerge in the Immortal Realm.

But who knew who was stronger between Ye Junlin and Tong Wudi?

Bu Qianfan had once crossed paths with Tong Wudi and had suffered grievously, after all, he was the child of destiny in the Immortal Realm, blessed by the Heavenly Dao.

In the Immortal Realm, who could possibly contend with him?

However, witnessing Ye Junlin’s formidable prowess, even Bu Qianfan began to waver within.

Perhaps, it really wasn’t certain who was stronger or weaker!

Ye Junlin hovered in the air, looking down at the colossal pit, a slight raise in his brow.

He could sense that his opponent was not dead yet!
