Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 520

At this moment, Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign approached, surrounded by five Immortal Emperor Artifacts, radiating an unmatched imposing force.

Many people were so scared they stumbled backward, terrified of being caught up in this battle.

Boom boom boom~

Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign arrived at a distance of less than ten zhang from Ye Junlin, exuding a terrifying aura.

His gaze was murky; no one knew what he was thinking.

Eternal Ancestor felt a shiver down his spine and worriedly said, “Ye, be careful!”

He could clearly feel how powerful Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign was now; with just a casual strike, he could wipe him out.

In a way, this guy was already strong enough to shake an Immortal Emperor!

“Heh,”

Ye Junlin sneered, raising his hand to summon his flying sword, ready to remove the biggest threat in front of him.

But then!

To his surprise, Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign didn’t attack immediately but instead withdrew his imposing presence, surrendering all five Immortal Emperor Artifacts.

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m voluntarily handing over the Immortal Emperor Artifacts, hoping to wipe the slate clean for all our previous unpleasantness,”

Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign grit his teeth, seemingly making this choice as if he was cutting off flesh.

His heart was bleeding.

After all, that was five Immortal Emperor Artifacts!

With their help, even against an Immortal Emperor level figure, he would have had some fighting chance!

But now he had given them all away—if he said he felt no pain or reluctance, it would be a lie.

Yet Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign knew he had to do this.

On one hand, it was because of Ye Junlin’s identity, which he couldn’t fathom; on the other hand, a voice in his head hinted that if he acted impulsively, he might suffer a horrific fate…

After some deep thought, Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign ultimately decided to offer these five Immortal Emperor Artifacts to win Ye Junlin’s trust.

The audience was dead silent.

Everyone was in shock, unable to believe that Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign would make such a move.

“Huh?”

Ye Junlin was momentarily taken aback, casually receiving the five Immortal Emperor Artifacts. Once confirmed, a strange expression appeared on his face.

Who would have thought this guy was rather sensible and didn’t want to be reckless like that old bald donkey.

As the saying goes, you don’t hit a man with a smiling face.

Since he was so sincere, Ye Junlin felt it unnecessary to summon his flying sword and kill him.

Immediately, he suppressed the killing intent in his heart.

Seeing Ye Junlin accept the Immortal Emperor Artifacts, Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign let out a heavy sigh of relief; the unease in his heart finally dissipated.

He felt like he had just dodged a bullet.

What a relief!

“It seems my decision was correct; this person has shown no panic at all, as if he is completely sure of how to handle things,” Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign thought in shock.

“Since that’s the case, I won’t hold it against you. Take care of yourself,” Ye Junlin waved his hand.

“Thank you for your understanding!” Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign replied, genuinely appreciative.

Although he had made the trip for nothing, meeting such a big shot was still a gain.

Booming rumble~

At that moment, the Immortal Palace shook violently, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

“Oh no, the Secret Realm is collapsing! We need to hurry out!” Eternal Ancestor’s expression changed.

“Quick, let’s go!”

Everyone sprang into action, working together to open the entrance to the Secret Realm, streaming out one after another.

Meanwhile, the energy vortex behind them was rapidly compressing, indicating the Secret Realm inside was heading toward destruction.

Whoosh!

After a while, that energy vortex disappeared, leaving behind an enormous pit, distinctly noticeable in the desolate land.

“Ah, it was all in vain,” many in attendance looked at the pit and chuckled bitterly.

Originally thinking they could divide the Immortal Emperor Artifacts, they now saw all five had gone to one person, realizing they were mere extras in this whole spectacle—just the thought of it was frustrating.

However, since this was a trap set by Soul Heaven Immortal Emperor, just surviving was already a stroke of luck.

“Ye Tian Emperor, we take our leave now. If ever you need us in the future, just call, and we will come to aid you no matter how far!”

Giant Spirit Immortal Sovereign said earnestly, cupping his hands.

“Exactly!”

The others echoed, expressing their sincerity.

Serving such a powerful figure was an opportunity they could hardly wish for.

“Sure thing, sure thing,” Ye Junlin replied with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Eternal Ancestor felt a jolt and looked at Ye Junlin with changing expressions.

After all, the assembled crowd consisted of top-tier Immortal Sovereigns from North Cold Immortal Domain.

Now, they were all willing to follow this young man; one could imagine the immense power behind him.

“We take our leave!”

Then a group of Immortal Sovereigns bowed and departed, heading back to their respective domains.

“Ye Tian Emperor, why not stay a few days at my Chi Xiao Sect and let me properly host you?” Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign smiled eagerly.

The Cang Tian Domain was his turf, and the Chi Xiao Sect he founded was the strongest sect in this region.

Ye Junlin shook his head, “That’s not necessary. I’m heading out with Eternal Dao Friend right away, so I won’t stay here any longer.”

“That’s fine then…”

A glimmer of disappointment crossed Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign’s eyes.

He had hoped to treat Ye Junlin well and perhaps tease out some useful information, but since Ye Junlin wasn’t interested, he could only let it go.

“Farewell.”

Ye Junlin nodded to Eternal Ancestor, then the two turned and left, transforming into two brilliant streaks of light darting away.

“Send off two Dao Friends!”

Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign didn’t dare slack off, cupping his hands and bowing, his manners extremely polished.

After a long while, reflecting on what had transpired, Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign stood in the desert, feeling particularly complex, shaking his head with a sigh:

“I once thought my strength in the North Cold Immortal Domain was second only to that old ancestor of the Li family. Who knew there are always people stronger. Today, I nearly lost my life due to my ignorance and arrogance… sigh!”

With that, he transformed into a streak of red light and flew into the sky, disappearing without a trace.

…

In Middle Earth Immortal Domain.

Yuhua Dao Palace.

Inside a loft, a young man dressed in a wide, flowing feather robe was sitting cross-legged on a cushion. With a handsome face and skin glowing warmly, he resembled a finely crafted jade figure.

The divine aura around him was exceptionally sacred, with a brilliant golden halo hovering behind his head, making him look like a deity deserving of worship by countless beings.

This man was Yuhua Sheng, now referred to as Yuhua Immortal Emperor!

No one expected that a True Immortal who ascended from the Kunlun Realm would grow to this extent.

His cultivation journey was nothing short of legendary!

However, right now, this highly esteemed Yuhua Immortal Emperor was feeling quite anxious within.
