Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 154

“This item is a specially crafted Underworld Artifact from our clan, a one-time consumable. As long as you can unlock the seal and release the surging Supreme Underworld Power, even a true Immortal would fall. For now, we can’t use it; keep it safe, and look for an opportunity to deal with Ye Junlin.”

King Dāngyōu nervously accepted the ancient lantern, gazing at the flickering dark purple flames, swallowing hard.

It actually possesses the means to destroy Immortals!

The Underworld Race is indeed formidable!

“There’s also our insider on the Human Race side, so coordinate well with them going forward.”

The Young Man of the Underworld Race’s eyes sparkled with light as he stroked his chin and said, “According to the elders’ predictions, the Kunlun Realm will soon enter a revival phase. Countless heavenly materials and treasures will erupt in abundance, and various secret realms and ruins will successively emerge.”

“At this critical moment, if we can seize this place early, we can balance out those outsiders. Trust me, with the Underworld Race returning to this land, we will ride this wind and soar high!”

His words revealed an unmistakable ambition.

“All beings of the Underworld Abyss, await your master’s orders!”

Knowing he had such a strong backing, King Dāngyōu felt completely at ease, kneeling on the ground in utmost respect.

The Young Man of the Underworld Race and his few companions exchanged smug glances and let out complacent laughs.

…

In the following days, just as they mentioned, the Kunlun Realm began to birth Immortal fortunes, benefitting all living beings.

In the Central Region, upon noticing the changes in the heavens and earth, even the Immortals who resided in the shadows were stirred, personally coming out to investigate the cause.

All the ancient sects and sacred places realized this was a critical turning point for all forces to reshuffle; they rushed to tear up their previous peace treaties and sent countless Cultivators to frantically seize new resource lands.

As a result, numerous conflicts and frictions erupted, with intense confrontations and palpable hostility.

Some Undying lineages even began to take alternative paths, looking toward the other four regions to avoid the chaos and seek new developments.

At this time, this once glorious world was reviving with vibrant life, much like a dry tree meeting spring, benefiting billions of beings and elevating them!

Eastern Domain.

Arid Province.

Suddenly, a chaos broke out in the sky, as if a massive rift had formed in the air, with clouds rolling like waves; the energy surging forth was endless, like a torrential river.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom~!!!

Billions of thick golden lightning bolts crisscrossed in the air, each packed with the power to annihilate a hundred miles around.

The beings living in the Arid Province trembled in fear, feeling as if they were in an ice cellar, gazing in terror at the collapsing sky.

“What’s happening?” Everyone looked horrified, chilled to the bone, sensing something catastrophic was about to unfold.

Xuantian Sect.

The sect master Xu Yonian and the others looked astonished, with dry mouths.

They gazed toward the thunderous sky, a vast sea of golden lightning shimmering.

“Damn it! What the hell is so noisy?!” Ye Junlin straightened up from his reclining seat, took off his panda eye mask, looking groggy and irritated from being awakened.

“Master, look at the sky, it seems ominous…” Li Wujie stood anxiously beside him, a bead of cold sweat forming on his forehead, gripping the sword handle tightly.

He had a premonition that if he dared to venture out and see what was going on, he would definitely be struck to ashes by the overwhelming golden lightning.

“I’m so scared; I want a hug~” Bai Xiaoxi’s big eyes glimmered with tears as she leaped into Ye Junlin’s arms, her petite, delicate body trembling in fear; this silver-haired loli was frightened by the continuous thunder.

“Don’t be afraid; I’m here.”

Ye Junlin patted the little loli’s back, soothing her softly. As he raised his narrow, elongated eyes, his snow-white gaze pierced the sky like a divine sword.

“This, this is an Immortal Phenomenon! An unparalleled Immortal Phenomenon is about to emerge!” Hong Qianye exclaimed, her beautiful Danfeng eyes brimming with excitement.

She knew that such a grand scene could only occur when an Immortal Phenomenon surfaces.

And judging by the scale, it was definitely unprecedented, at least she had never encountered anything like this in the Central Region; all previous Immortal Phenomena were insignificant compared to this.

“Immortal Phenomenon?”

Ye Junlin furrowed his brow.

He remembered that the recent months had indeed been unusual; it was said that many heavenly materials and treasures were emerging, cave dwellings and ruins were appearing one after another, triggering fierce competition among various Cultivators.

Such opportunities that hadn’t been seen in thousands of years had begun to frequently appear, making many both astonished and delighted, thinking it was a blessing from heaven.

Now, even in the remote Arid Province in the Eastern Domain, an Immortal Phenomenon suddenly appeared.

That was quite bizarre!

Booming~~

In the sky, golden thunder rumbled like a great tide.

Amid countless shocked gazes, a massive island emerged from the spatial rift.

The entire gigantic floating island exuded an ethereal aura, enveloped in resplendent Immortal light, quietly suspended in the high sky.

This floating island had a sacred aura, making many feel a sense of reverence.

Billions of golden lightning bolts gradually dissipated, and peace returned to the sky.

That aerial island became the most coveted sacred place.

Enveloped in a radiant Immortal light, the brilliance nearly eclipsed the sun above. Upon closer inspection, one could see countless runes interwoven and entwined on the surface of that Immortal light, showcasing its divine nature.

“Could this be the island where the Immortals reside, as legend says?!” Ouyang Feng, the elder of the Banshan Sect, pulled out a few beard hairs, stunned and wide-eyed.

Swish, swish, swish~

Many Cultivators couldn’t contain their inner impulses and soared into the sky on their swords, boldly attempting to approach the island, only to find themselves blocked by the barrier-like Immortal light.

Suddenly, a voice like a grand bell echoed through the heavens and earth.

The obscure and difficult-to-understand syllables originated from ancient times, but the divine thought embedded in their minds resonated, allowing them to comprehend its meaning.

“I am the master of Fallen Immortal Island. This is the legacy left behind during ancient times. After Fallen Immortal Island appears, the Trials will commence on the tenth day. Anyone who passes will receive corresponding rewards, and the final victor will become the new master of Fallen Immortal Island, possessing all the cultivation resources hidden on the island. I hope everyone will do their best and protect the Kunlun Realm…”

Upon hearing this, the entire Arid Province erupted in a frenzy.

The legendary island where the Immortals dwell, along with the supreme legacy left behind, even sharing a piece of the pie would bring unimaginable benefits. Who wouldn’t want to go in the face of such immense temptation?

“Ancient times? That’s so far back, any history of that period is almost blank in ancient books, only a few brief snippets remain of useful information,” Hong Qianye initially frowned, soon revealing excitement and thought, “But still, someone who left a legacy in later generations must be an incredibly powerful ancient Immortal. If I could benefit from that, even grasp his legacy, I could replicate his glory and become a supreme Immortal!”

The reason for such thoughts was that in her past life, having become an Immortal, Hong Qianye deeply understood that Immortals are graded from top to bottom. Through just now’s cosmic phenomena, she keenly sensed the immeasurable value behind this legacy.

As the saying goes, seeing a part reveals the whole; the identity of the master of Fallen Immortal Island might be that of a top-tier Immortal.

“If I can take control of Fallen Immortal Island, then I will be able to…” Hong Qianye’s thoughts raced, her gaze subtly darting to the silver-haired youth, a wicked smile curving her lips.

In her view, Ye Junlin’s immense strength must stem from possessing some massive Immortal treasure, allowing him to constantly produce all kinds of rare and exotic treasures, showcasing unheard-of mystical arts.

To say she felt no envy would be a lie; Hong Qianye often seethed with jealousy, complaining to heaven’s unfairness for favoring this slacker who loved to lounge around.

But now, his chance finally arrived!

“So boring, you’re disturbing my sleep.”

Ye Junlin grumbled, reclining back in his chair with Bai Xiaoxi nestled against him like a cushion, completely indifferent to the emergence of Fallen Immortal Island.

He was just a bit puzzled as to why that authoritative voice sounded somewhat forlorn at the end.

【Ding! Congratulations, host, your sign-in location has refreshed, please proceed to the interior of Fallen Immortal Island to complete sign-in. Upon successful sign-in, the host will receive a massive amount of golden luck!】 The system prompt sounded.

“Golden luck?” Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow, new information about luck flooding into his mind.

Every being has their own luck. Those with great luck have auspicious signs above their heads, attracting fortune, sailing smoothly, turning calamities into blessings, experiencing no misfortunes.

But those with little luck might choke on water, trip while walking, or even get stuck by rice grains while eating.

Moreover, luck has levels: gray, white, red, blue, purple, and gold!

As long as you come into contact with even a shred of golden luck, you could easily become a founding king in the mortal realm or a tremendous power in the cultivation realm.

More importantly, this time’s reward is massive golden luck!

Ye Junlin’s interest was suddenly piqued, curious about what kind of events would unfold with such monstrous luck…
