Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 204

When the two ladies landed on the Kunpeng, they saw Ye Junlin lounging in a recliner like a lord, surrounded by fruits and snacks for his enjoyment.

Bai Xiaoxi stood behind him, kneading Ye Junlin’s shoulders with delicate little hands, applying just the right amount of pressure, making him look thoroughly relaxed.

If one didn’t know better, they’d think they were on vacation.

“Master Ye, something big has happened! It’s a trap!” shouted Zhao Ling’er anxiously.

“What kind of trap?”

“It’s a trap, Master Ye!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Junlin was momentarily stunned, his eyes sparkling with intense interest. “Elaborate!”

“Mingyue, tell Master Ye your theory right now!”

Princess Mingyue’s eyes were red, her teeth clenched, “Senior Ye, the palace of my Pure Land was slaughtered by a group of mysterious people, and they are actually from the Yuhua Sect.”

“Are you sure?” Ye Junlin’s expression didn’t change, but his eyes sharpened.

“Yes!”

Princess Mingyue nodded heavily, her face showing determination.

Ye Junlin squinted; it seemed the Hanging Temple that got wiped out earlier was also picked off by the Yuhua Sect.

“Then this expedition must have ulterior motives. I’m curious about where they’re getting their confidence from.”

Thinking of this, instead of panicking, Ye Junlin became even more intrigued.

The Yuhua Sect had gone to great lengths to lure the Eastern Domain coalition into the Underworld Abyss, including two Immortals, which must mean they were absolutely confident in their victory to dare pull such a stunt.

“Knowing my strength, they still dare to play me? Looks like they want to take me down too.”

“Good, very good!”

Ye Junlin clapped and laughed, showing no signs of anger, instead looking forward to the upcoming changes.

Seeing this, Zhao Ling’er and Princess Mingyue exchanged glances.

This guy’s thought process was definitely something else.

Maybe that’s what being on another level feels like!

“Master Ye, we should hurry and inform everyone else, then publicly expose the Yuhua Sect’s true colors!”

“Yeah, it’ll be too late if we wait!”

The two ladies were very anxious.

Who would have thought Ye Junlin waved his hand, “Relax, let’s keep enjoying ourselves!”

“Huh???”

The two ladies were dumbfounded.

Ye Junlin shrugged, popping sunflower seeds into his mouth, skillfully spitting out the shells. “This is just the beginning, the main show hasn’t even started yet. We’ll just watch the changes from here.”

“Is it really okay?” Princess Mingyue asked worriedly.

Zhao Ling’er, her eyes glimmering, said, “I trust Master Ye. Let’s step back for now and see what little tricks the Yuhua Sect is up to.”

Since he had said that, she instinctively felt it wasn’t a big deal; as long as he was here, she felt quite reassured.

The two ladies respectfully bowed and then took off.

Ye Junlin munched on sunflower seeds, gazing into the distance. When he saw the Yuhua Sect Master fighting valiantly, roaring loudly with an odd expression on his face, he remarked,

“Changwei, I’m just going to watch your performance.”

…

As the Eastern Domain coalition surged forth like a tidal wave, taking city after city, the entire Underworld Abyss was engulfed in chaos.

Despair and panic spread throughout this ancient little world.

Even the pale moon hanging in the sky was tainted with a bloody hue, making it seem especially eerie and terrifying.

“This is all retribution! We shouldn’t have coveted the Human Race’s territory!”

“What now? The outside is swarming with humans! Where can we escape to?”

“Driven to this point, we have to fight back! It’s a fight to the death!”

“By the way, hasn’t there been any response from the king? Our Underworld Abyss race is about to be wiped out!”

“Everyone, I just received news that the king has issued an emergency summons, demanding we gather at the First Royal City for the final battle against the humans!”

“Good! Since we’re already on the brink, we might as well fight these humans to the end!”

…

On the vast and boundless Underworld Plain, numerous cities were abandoned, and all the beings raced to the destination, ready to unite against the invading human army.

The great showdown was about to erupt!

In the central area stood the grandest royal palace, heavily guarded, with the guards on high alert.

Inside, King Dāngyōu was shrouded in gloom, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Swish!

A man with long purple hair hanging to his waist, featuring two sharp angles on his forehead, appeared out of nowhere, with an exceptionally sinister expression, his eyes resembling dark purple jewels that glimmered with ominous light.

“Divine Messenger!”

Seeing the visitor, King Dāngyōu quickly knelt down, “I have already followed your orders to gather the remaining beings of the Underworld towards my royal city. Please tell me you truly have a way to eliminate Ye Junlin and his group?”

King Dāngyōu was genuinely scared; this was a matter of life and death. If it weren’t for this person’s presence, he’d have long thought about fleeing.

After all, with the current strength of the Underworld Abyss, it was nearly impossible to resist the Eastern Domain coalition. How could they possibly go head-to-head?

Mingye looked at the uneasy King Dāngyōu, a mocking glint in his eye, coldly saying, “Look at you, so pathetic. I already said I’m fully confident in eliminating them. Do you dare doubt my words?”

King Dāngyōu sighed in relief, forcing a smile, “Not at all, I just wanted to confirm again.”

“Since the Divine Messenger is so confident, I’ll rest easy, but I’m curious, what exactly is the trap you set?”

King Dāngyōu was quite intrigued, for he had heard the other party previously asserting that even the legendary Immortal Sovereign could be eliminated.

Having lived in the Underworld Abyss for so long, he was eager to know how this would be accomplished.

Mingye wore a meaningful smile, “Hehe, you’ll find out when the time comes.”

Under the gaze of those eyes, King Dāngyōu felt a chill run down his spine, awkwardly lowering his head, “Then I’ll wait and see.”

Mingye turned to look at the blood moon hanging in the sky, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, cruelly smiling as he said,

“Ye Junlin, I look forward to seeing what expression you’ll wear when you meet your end!”

At the same time.

The Eastern Domain coalition sensed something unusual and began to grow alert.

“Fellow Daoists, these beasts have abandoned their cities! Be careful, this might be a trap to lure us in!”

Ouyang Feng, the elder of the Banshan Sect, said sternly.

He held the Kunshan Sword, donned in a brown robe that billowed, exuding an immense aura.

“That makes sense; we can’t fall for their tricks!” someone shouted.

The crowd of cultivators nodded, not letting a moment of victory cloud their judgment.

At this moment,

Wan Changwei’s eyes flickered with a hint of cold light, swiftly suppressing it as he shouted, “Everyone, I just interrogated a lone Underworld creature, and found out that the great king has issued a summons for all beings to gather at the royal city for a final showdown!”

“If we don’t go, it means we’re afraid! If the Underworld regenerates, they’ll invade us again, slaughtering our kin! Those of us present will be the sinners!”

“For the stability of the Eastern Domain, for the peace of the Human Race, we must fight this battle, there’s no question of retreat!!!”

His booming voice resonated powerfully, filled with overwhelming magical power that echoed everywhere, clearly reaching everyone’s ears.

Everyone’s spirits shook, blood boiling.

“Well said! At this point, let’s make a decisive push for the royal city, to completely wipe out the root of the Underworld’s troubles!”

“Those who retreat are cowards! Let’s just do it!”

“Damn, what’s there to be afraid of? Victory is just ahead!”

“Oli give~!!”

…

Excited roars erupted, filled with determination for victory.

The emotions of the cultivators erupted, any previous concerns tossed aside, replaced with a belief that they would crush the royal city.

Old Liu admired silently; it was no wonder this guy could be the sect master—there’s a reason behind it!

That charisma, that incitement.

One word sums it up: absolute!
