The ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE SYSTEM
Chapter 95: ASCENSION

Chapter 95: ASCENSION

The world inside the anomaly zone had transformed into a sprawling battlefield, marked by rivers of scorched earth, shattered mountains, and forests twisted by uncontrolled magic. Where once there had been only silence and lurking danger, now the air thrummed with the residual power of countless battles. For twenty days outside—five years within—they had trained, fought, and survived together.

From a jagged peak that pierced the clouds, Chen Yu stood, winds lashing at his cloak as he looked down upon the land they had reshaped. His eyes burned with the intensity of someone who had weathered endless trials. The storm clouds above mirrored his fury, streaked with violet lightning, rumbling like the voice of a slumbering god.

Below him, his comrades spread across the valley. Some meditated in silence, while others sparred with illusions of the monsters they had defeated over and over in their quest for perfection. Their bodies were scarred but stronger than steel. Their eyes held the same unwavering resolve as their leader.

Chen Yu’s mind buzzed as the system’s voice echoed in his consciousness, unveiling the culmination of their training:

The stats vanished as Chen Yu turned to face his team. His mind flooded with memories of their training.

Flashbacks of Training

He remembered teaching Ruxue to compress her flames into piercing lances that could melt diamond. How Meiyun’s dragon aura had exploded with terrifying power when she overcame her fear of losing control. How Vornark learned to channel beastly rage into precise, devastating strikes.

He recalled Ling Ling weeping when she first raised a legion of undead warriors to shield their allies, only to later laugh as they danced around her like grim jesters. Nyzelia, reserved and deadly, mastering a technique to merge with shadows to strike from impossible angles.

He’d watched Chaewon heal dozens of times faster than before, her holy light burning through curses and poisons alike, her confidence blooming like a radiant flower. He’d sparred Roman until dawn, steel ringing out, their blades sharper each day.

And Hui... fierce, unyielding Hui, who stood at his side day after day, challenging him with her strength—and her love.

They had become unbreakable.

"Gather!" Chen Yu’s voice boomed through the valley.

They assembled around a massive campfire. It blazed high, embers swirling into the night like tiny red spirits. The air was thick with tension—and hope.

Azrael stood behind Chen, a towering figure exuding dark majesty. Hui sat on a rock beside him, legs crossed, eyes scanning everyone with a possessive gleam.

Meiyun and Ruxue leaned against each other, sharing tired smiles. Roman, armor shining in the moonlight, stood near Vornark, exchanging a respectful nod. Ling Ling hummed a tune while dancing her fingers through swirling necrotic mist. Chaewon fussed over minor wounds, her light touch soothing.

Nyzelia sharpened her blades, every motion elegant as moonlight on steel. Yulgar meditated on the edge of the camp, breathing like a silent mountain.

Emotional Conversations

Breaking the quiet, Vornark stepped forward, fists clenched. "You’ve given me a purpose greater than myself, Chen Yu. I swear on the blood of my ancestors—I’ll fight by your side until the end."

Ling Ling twirled over, hugging Chen’s arm with a playful giggle. "And I’ll make sure you don’t get lonely~. Besides, someone has to keep these serious types entertained."

Ruxue smiled softly, warmth in her eyes. "When I met you, I was aimless. Now, I burn brighter than ever."

Roman laid a gauntleted hand on Chen’s shoulder. **"Where you lead, I will follow. Always."

Hui’s eyes narrowed dangerously at the others before she smirked. "Just remember who’s first in his heart," she declared possessively.

Chaewon blushed, meeting Chen’s eyes. **"Thank you... for believing in me. I won’t let you down."

Chen nodded slowly, heart swelling with pride and love.

"We’ve survived the abyss," he told them, voice low but powerful. "We’ve tempered ourselves into weapons. But more than that—we’ve become a family."

The crackle of the fire was the only sound until Azrael’s deep voice rumbled, "The time is near. Are you ready?"

The Ascension Gate

As dawn broke, the sky rippled with power. Clouds parted to reveal a swirling vortex of silver and gold: the Ascension Gate. It hung above the anomaly zone like an eye of the gods, radiant and terrifying.

A hush fell. They stepped closer, the ground humming with cosmic energy.

Chen raised his hand, feeling the pull of the portal. Memories flashed: his past struggles, his humiliations, his triumphs, and the friendships he had forged. His heart hardened with resolve.

"This is it," he whispered. "The path to the upper realm."

Hui grasped his hand, eyes fierce. "Let’s show them what real power looks like."

Preparations & Final Words

Before stepping through, they stood in a circle, weapons drawn, armor gleaming.

Chen looked at each face, one last time. "Whatever awaits us," he said, voice heavy with promise, "we meet it together."

Yulgar slammed his fists together, teeth bared. "We’ll crush anything that stands in our way!"

Meiyun’s draconic aura flared. "I’ll burn our name into the skies of the upper realm!"

Chaewon’s staff glowed with healing light. **"I’ll keep us alive—no matter what."

Nyzelia’s eyes glittered coldly. **"Let them fear us."

Even Azrael, stoic and ancient, nodded solemnly. **"This is what we’ve waited for. Let it begin."

"FOR EARTH!" Chen roared.

"FOR EACH OTHER!" the others shouted.

As their voices echoed, the Ascension Gate blazed. The portal widened, swallowing the anomaly zone in searing radiance.

They stepped into the light—united, unstoppable, their hearts bound by purpose stronger than steel.

And far above, in the swirling chaos of the upper realm, distant eyes turned toward the new arrivals. Ancient beings stirred. The stars themselves seemed to tremble as Chen Yu and his companions crossed the threshold.

Upper Realm – Celestial Sky Sect

High in the floating spires of the Celestial Sky Sect—a legendary faction that stretched across the clouds like a fortress among stars—an assembly of robed elders gathered around an ancient jade table in a hall lined with colossal dragon statues. Outside, the skies churned with cosmic storms, lightning dancing across the void. The air itself was heavy with the scent of rare herbs and the lingering power of ancient formations.

Above them, the shimmering vortex of the Ascension Gate pulsed, each ripple revealing glimpses of the lower world. Faint images of humans, demons, and beasts together in battle appeared and faded like ghostly visions.

An elder with a flowing silver beard and eyes sharp as polished obsidian slammed his palm on the table, the jade surface fracturing with a loud crack. "Humans, demons, and beasts—ascending together? Unthinkable! Such alliances were never forged, even in the oldest of legends."

A woman clad in azure robes, her face hidden behind a silver mask etched with ethereal patterns, leaned forward, her voice quiet but edged with steel. **"This changes everything. Should they remain united, they could disrupt the existing power structures not just among the sects, but the entire upper realm’s hierarchy."

A younger elder, tall and slender with eyes as ancient as the stars themselves, chuckled softly, his tone laced with arrogance. "Then we simply must ensure their loyalty—or destroy them before they can gather strength."

A hush swept the room as the storm outside rumbled with ominous intent.

"Prepare our best disciples," the masked woman ordered, her tone brooking no argument. "And send envoys to the arrival grounds. We will greet these newcomers personally—and either make them our allies... or remove them as threats."

As thunder cracked across the skies, the elders of the Celestial Sky Sect rose, their hearts burning with ambition and trepidation. Somewhere beyond the clouds, Chen Yu and his companions were hurtling toward a world already scheming to bind or break them.

Now it will be interesting to see how will be the journey of chen yu and others in the upper realm and what happens if by mistake author{me} decided to kill everyone because of the low support

by everyone i meant all the characters in the novel and it includes main character too
