Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 261

Before me was a gruesome, charred figure that looked like a stick—no hands, no feet, not even a head—but the scariest part? Even in such a messed-up state, this distorted body was growing back new flesh.

In just a few seconds, its flesh started writhing like crazy, hands and feet restored to perfection, and then a head sprouted back, revealing a sinisterly complete face wearing a mocking smile.

This originally battered Undying Blood Clan powerhouse was healing at an unbelievable speed!

This was the racial talent of the Undying Blood Clan—an absurdly overpowered self-healing ability.

Thanks to this trait, the Undying Blood Clan held a significant position in the Nine Nether, and their Blood Source Realm was one of the top worlds, notorious and feared by countless beings across the starry skies.

“Impressive, you’re the strongest Profound Immortal I’ve ever seen in my life,” Blood Slayer sneered, a sly grin on his face. “But as long as you can’t kill me, you’re destined to be defeated by me!”

With that, the flesh wings on his back flapped violently, sending deadly crimson winds ripping through the air.

“Damn it,” Hong Qianye gritted her teeth, using her purple flame wings to counter.

“Roar!” Blood Slayer charged forward, both hands enveloped in blinding red light, as hard as top-tier Immortal Sovereign Level Magical Artifacts.

His eyes were blood-red, and his mouth opened to reveal sharp fangs.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosive air bursts sent chills down the spine.

After dodging dozens of lethal claw strikes, Hong Qianye managed to sidestep a particularly nasty swipe.

But blood still erupted from her shoulder, pain shooting through her.

Blood Slayer, with his hands stained in her blood, slowly licked his fingers, a look of delight spreading across his face.

“I can’t even begin to imagine how wonderful it would taste to drain all the blood from a genius like you,” he said.

Cold sweat trickled down Hong Qianye’s forehead as her expression turned grave.

The Red Lotus Hellfire was her ultimate technique, but even that couldn’t kill this freak.

Moreover, using the Red Lotus Hellfire came with a high cost, and given her current state, casting it a second time would lead to her downfall.

If she still couldn’t kill him, what was the point?

Blood Slayer grinned slyly, his intent to kill directed at Hong Qianye.

This mere initial stage Profound Immortal showed such power; if left to grow, she would undoubtedly become a terrifying existence that could make even his clan tremble.

Fortunately, her cultivation level was at a disadvantage. If their realms were on par, that last Red Lotus Hellfire would have surely finished him off!

Mysterious Peak.

Li Wujie was shocked. “Master, that birdman is amazing, even Senior Hong can’t handle him.”

This monster could just stand still, and even if he swung his sword at him for ten days and ten nights, he wouldn’t die!

Ye Junlin stroked his chin, intrigued. “Interesting.”

An absurd self-healing ability—was this the racial talent of the Undying Blood Clan?

Sure enough, the world was full of wonders!

But now, it was time for him to step in; otherwise, no one would be able to deal with this blood-sucking fiend.

[ Ding! Congratulations, host, you’ve triggered a new mission: make that Undying Blood Clan member call you ‘Daddy.’ Upon successful completion, the Burial Heaven Coffin will be upgraded to a top-tier Immortal King Level Magical Artifact! ]

A playful system notification chimed in his mind.

Ye Junlin paused, annoyed. “Wow, System, you really enjoy messing around, huh?”

This kind of powerhouse would take risks that could lead to nine deaths for a chance to break into the Kunlun Realm; their willpower was certainly beyond question.

The main issue was that he had terrifying regenerative abilities, and getting this monster to willingly call him ‘Daddy’ was bound to be a monumental task.

In fact, Ye Junlin thought it might be harder than actually killing Blood Slayer!

[ Ding! Where there’s a will, there’s a way! As long as you’re willing to work hard, everyone will have a day when they call you ‘Daddy!’ ]

The system replied earnestly.

Ye Junlin rubbed his nose. “Oh? Then let me hear you say it.”

The system: “…”

“Hey, you still there, System?” Ye Junlin noticed the long silence and knew this guy had probably logged off.

“Sigh, what a hassle.”

Turning his gaze back to the two figures locked in battle, Ye Junlin stepped forward and vanished from his spot.

“Master is making his move!”

As Li Wujie looked on excitedly, that tall figure in a black robe and white hair strolled calmly towards the chaotic battlefield in the sky.

Boom!

At that moment, a dull thud echoed through the air.

Hong Qianye was sent hurtling back like a rag doll, quickly halted by a large hand pressing against her back.

“Master, I…”

Hong Qianye turned around, head down in shame.

Her hair was a mess, blood staining her mouth, and she no longer exuded the overwhelming might she had at first.

She thought that aside from her master, even if she couldn’t be number one, she could at least rank second. But reality delivered a harsh slap to her face.

Who would’ve guessed there were so many unknown powerhouses in this world?

“Step back, this is my fight now,” Ye Junlin waved his hand casually.

“Master, be careful. This guy is incredibly tough! I’m worried…”

“Worried about what?”

“Worried your arm might get sore!”

Suddenly, Hong Qianye remembered that this silver-haired youth before her had once been an Immortal Emperor who suppressed the dark turmoil.

Even after a long period, while his own power was still recovering, his means were definitely beyond her imagination.

That monster’s undead body should be no match for such an existence!

After all, this was the strongest Immortal Emperor—Ye Tian Emperor!

“No worries, just watch how I make him call me ‘Daddy,’” Ye Junlin said seriously.

Hong Qianye was dumbfounded, her Danfeng Eyes wide in surprise.

Is that even possible?

She couldn’t shake the feeling that this might be even harder than just killing him!

Keep in mind, her last Red Lotus Hellfire had reduced that monster to a charred stick, but in mere moments, he was back to bouncing around like nothing happened.

This kind of monster had an incredibly strong will—how could he possibly be made to call someone ‘Daddy’?

Heck, she could call him ‘Daddy’ and it would still sound more likely.

Hong Qianye thought maybe Ye Junlin was just joking, that he didn’t actually take this seriously, and so she retreated back to the Mysterious Peak to regain her strength.

Meanwhile.

Seeing Hong Qianye back off, Blood Slayer sneered, “Trying to run away?”

Cough cough, Ye Junlin pretended to clear his throat and said seriously, “Next up, your opponent is me.”

Blood Slayer froze for a second, surprised as he sized up Ye Junlin. After looking him up and down, he scoffed, “You? Just you?”

A mere Celestial Immortal thinks he can be my opponent?

With scum like you, I just killed seven of them with ease!

Blood Slayer could tell that Ye Junlin was just a Celestial Immortal, barely on the same level as those few sect leaders.

Who gave him the courage to come out and court death?

Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow, “You think you’re so tough, huh? Didn’t you just get your butt kicked by my disciple for ages?”

“Hmm? Your disciple…”

Blood Slayer’s expression shifted in disbelief as he realized that the powerful top genius he just faced was actually this silver-haired young man’s disciple?

Yikes, thinking back, that guy did seem to mention that title before leaving.

But was it really possible?

This little Celestial Immortal chicken has the right to be the master of such an anomaly?
