ALL NOVEL Chapter 43
After a while, gasps of shock erupted repeatedly.
The battlefield was thrown into great chaos!
“Hiss, all eighteen core elders have been killed by Ye Junlin alone!”
“What are we still fighting for? Retreat now!!”
“Run!!!”
…
A massive army of cultivators began an unprecedented retreat!
All around them, figures were fleeing as if a world-destroying demon was right behind them!
“Well, I’ve still got sixty percent of my magical power left, might as well try out that new divine ability from the reward.”
Ye Junlin rubbed his chin.
Since his cultivation level had increased, his magical power had surged too; under the previous circumstances, he would have been running on fumes by now.
“Ye Shidi’s power is simply unfathomable!” Xu Yonian and the others muttered, shaken to the core.
“Master is amazing!” Bai Xiaoxi shouted excitedly.
The most stunned of all was Hong Qianye, who looked as stiff as a statue, eerily staring at that figure.
No one knew just how big of a blow this was to him!
“Wait, is that…?” Hong Qianye’s face shifted uncertainly as he saw something.
In the skies above.
Heaven and earth’s spiritual energy swirled like a funnel, gathering in Ye Junlin’s palm, as he mobilized the surging magical power within.
His hand slowly lifted, and a massive orb of five-colored light condensed in his palm, expanding rapidly, like a celestial orb spanning the sky, dazzlingly brilliant; even cultivators thousands of miles away could see it!
In that moment, it felt as if time had stopped; amidst the audience’s astonished gazes, only that splendid five-colored orb shone forth!
This was the Five Extremes Reincarnation Destruction Technique!
Swish!
Ye Junlin tossed the five-colored orb forward effortlessly.
The scene resembled a tiny ant hurling a colossal boulder, delivering a powerful visual impact!
Boom! Boom! Boom…
The five-colored orb detonated among the cultivator army, unleashing surging waves of energy light, interweaving five colors, creating a breathtaking sight resembling an ocean of colors.
“Quick, activate the defense formation!”
Mighty warships released defensive shields, but under the impact of the five-colored light, they shattered like window paper, leaving the cultivators inside pale with terror, watching helplessly as they were engulfed by light.
Countless members of the Yuhua Sect were swallowed up, including numerous Golden Cores, Nascent Souls, and Transformation Stage experts, all reduced to ashes in this catastrophe.
“Amitabha Buddha, we shouldn’t have come to die; this Great Demon is far more terrifying than rumored…” A group of Zen practitioners sat in their flying boat, gazing at the incoming five-colored brightness with grim smiles.
Just then, the entire flying boat was consumed, turning to dust.
Boom boom boom~
Under the shadow of the Five Extremes Reincarnation Destruction Technique, a million cultivators turned into nothingness!
This scene left the disciples and elders of the Xuantian Sect dumbfounded!
“Whew…”
Ye Junlin, beads of sweat on his forehead, sensed the cost of this technique and couldn’t help but click his tongue.
Truly a supreme divine technique!
“We won, we won!” After a moment of silence, cheers erupted from the sect, shaking the heavens.
The entire Arid Province trembled, and the local cultivators were utterly amazed.
“Ye Venerable single-handedly wiped out a million cultivators; who could achieve such a feat throughout history?”
“Ye Venerable’s might is unfathomable; we admire him greatly!”
“Invincible! Ye Venerable is invincible!”
The excitement was palpable.
Amidst the fervent cheers, Ye Junlin returned to Mysterious Peak.
“Big Guy, do you need any decorations for your legs?” The Cangjian Peak Master hurried over, worshipping him.
“Pfft, Ye Shidi wouldn’t want anything from a stinky man like you,” the Tianxiang Peak Master pushed him away disdainfully, then gazed admiringly at the silver-haired youth, softly saying, “Ye Shidi, you worked hard this time; let me give you a shoulder massage.”
That affectionate gaze was as if it wished to transform into Ye Junlin’s shape.
Xu Yonian chuckled bitterly, “This battle finally let us see your true cultivation level; how much longer would you have kept it hidden from us? Ye Shidi, Ye Venerable!”
“Yeah, yeah.” The other peak masters chimed in excitedly.
Seeing this, Ye Junlin cleared his throat, “Let’s keep a low profile; we should stay humble.”
He then plopped back onto a lounge chair, happily munching on some Orleans chicken wings.
At this moment, Hong Qianye stood in place, utterly embarrassed.
He had thought about fleeing, but given the circumstances, could he even escape now?
After witnessing Ye Junlin’s strength, Hong Qianye felt as if the gap between them had widened even more!
Even if he fought back with all his might, victory was simply impossible!
Moreover, his current state was poor; he couldn’t even compare to the tip of Ye Junlin’s finger!
“What to do? What on earth should I do?”
“Damn it, that old six is such a dog; clearly at the peak of Great Ascension but still pretending to be in the Unity Stage; I’ve never seen such a shameless person in my life!”
Amidst his swirling thoughts, beads of sweat dripped from Hong Qianye’s forehead; imagining the consequences he faced sent chills down his spine.
He hated himself for being so impulsive!
Now look at this, exposing his ambitions and even publicly tearing apart and injuring his peers—
Let alone saving that master-disciple relationship, his own life was hanging in the balance!
After devouring six Orleans chicken wings, Ye Junlin picked up his milk tea and took a satisfying slurp, revealing a contented expression. Suddenly, he noticed Hong Qianye standing there like a block of wood and raised an eyebrow, “Oh, you’re still here?”
“Um,” Xu Yonian and the others felt a bit dizzy, realizing he hadn’t even cared.
Hong Qianye froze; does this mean the matter was over?
Then, the next second, he was filled with despair, feeling like he’d fallen into a frozen pit.
“Senior Brother Jin, could you please chop him into mincemeat right now and use it to fertilize that phoenix tree in my courtyard? Thanks.”
Ye Junlin said seriously.
The Cangjian Peak Master was a bit surprised but nodded, “Oh, sure!”
Then, he pulled out his sword, ready to cut Hong Qianye down.
Thud!
Hong Qianye didn’t hesitate for even a moment; he dropped to his knees and yelled, “I beg Master to spare me! I’m willing to atone for my sins, please forgive me!”
“This,” the Cangjian Peak Master paused, glancing at Ye Junlin with difficulty.
Ye Junlin smiled faintly, “Weren’t you pretty tough before? Why are you suddenly so chicken now?”
Hong Qianye felt his cheeks flush with embarrassment, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into. “Master, this time I was arrogant; please give me one more chance to redeem myself.”
Ye Junlin said coolly, “Slap yourself. I’ll tell you when to stop.”
“Yes…”
Hong Qianye trembled as he raised his hand, gritting his teeth, and began to slap his own face, making blood spurt from his mouth.
As long as he could live, this was nothing!
Slap! Slap!
The sound of slaps was crisp and pleasant, echoing around the peaks.
“Brother Hong…” Bai Xiaoxi felt a bit pained, wanting to help him up but was stopped by a glance from Ye Junlin.
Xu Yonian’s gaze shifted continuously; he sighed, “Betraying the sect deserves punishment, but Hong Qianye did protect the Xuantian Sect at the critical moment. He’s still a person of merit. I suggest we send him to the back mountain for reflection instead.”
As the sect leader, he valued Hong Qianye’s potential greatly; although he thought Hong Qianye’s character was twisted, he believed as long as Ye Junlin was around, he could be kept in check and guided in the right direction.
Seeing the opportunity, Ye Junlin spoke, “In that case, you can avoid the death penalty but will still face the consequences. You’ll head to the back mountain for reflection.”
Hong Qianye stopped, his face swollen like a pig’s head, looking extremely comical. At this moment, he stood up and bowed deeply, “Disciple Hong Qianye, thank you for your mercy, Master!”
After speaking, he staggered away from Mysterious Peak.
“Your disciple really doesn’t give us any peace of mind.” Xu Yonian shook his head.
“Here, only Ye Shidi can keep him under control; without Ye Shidi, we wouldn’t be worth anything in his eyes,” the Cangjian Peak Master snorted.
“After all, he has great talent. We, the Xuantian Sect, managing to keep him relies entirely on Ye Shidi,” the Tianxiang Peak Master covered her mouth and chuckled.
Ye Junlin sighed, “It’s all my fault for not disciplining him properly, allowing him to be so audacious. Don’t worry; I’ll continue to teach him a lesson.”
He enjoyed watching his disciple, who looked utterly displeased, still having to endure and force a smile.
“Xiao Xi!”
“Mouse Mouse is here!”
“I want to eat hot pot.”
“Okay, Mouse Mouse will get it ready right now!”
“Ye Shidi, is hot pot made in a pot burned with fire? Can that be eaten?”
“Haha, since everyone is so curious, why not stay and give it a try!”
“Uh, fine!”
…
On the back mountain.
A red figure stood quietly.
Looking at the pig-headed face reflected on the surface of the pond, Hong Qianye’s eyes brimmed with tears, and his body trembled slightly, feeling immeasurably bitter.
He never imagined the path to a comeback would be so difficult!
“I don’t believe you can keep sailing smoothly forever. As long as I work hard in my cultivation, I’ll soon reach Great Ascension or even surpass it!”
“Ye Junlin, just you wait…”
