Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 300

“Yaoyao, your foundation is still shallow; it’s not the right time to cross the Lightning Tribulation!” Seeing her daughter attract the tribulation, Dongfang Jing was both happy and worried.

In her eyes, Dongfang Mengyao was only eighteen years old. It was a bit too hasty for someone so young to call down the tribulation for immortality.

“Mom, this is heaven testing me! I can do it!”

Dongfang Mengyao clenched her pink fists and looked up at the darkening sky, her expression tense.

She had yearned to become an immortal since childhood, yet she never expected the day would come so quickly.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Dongfang Mengyao’s pupils contracted, and a chill ran down her spine.

Boom!

Above the endless sky, billions of blazing thunders began to surge wildly, releasing an extremely terrifying aura. This cast a shadow over the Heavenly Daughter Country, causing countless female cultivators to feel anxious and trembling with fear.

“How could the power of this tribulation be…?” Dongfang Jing’s face was filled with shock as she murmured.

This was completely different from the tribulation she faced back in her day!

What Dongfang Jing didn’t know was that her daughter was facing the Six-Nine Lightning Tribulation, second only to the Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation.

Looking at the looming tribulation, Dongfang Mengyao’s face turned pale with fright, her delicate body trembling visibly.

Heavens, was the tribulation really this terrifying?

She regretted it!

“Mom…” Dongfang Mengyao’s face was twisted with despair, leaving a huge impact on her young heart.

“This child!”

Dongfang Jing was sweating anxiously, desperate to pull her daughter back, but now that the tribulation had formed, how could a second party intervene?

It is well known that any cultivator who triggers a lightning tribulation would be reduced to ashes.

“What to do? What to do?!”

Dongfang Jing was burning with impatience, when suddenly she spotted Ye Junlin, who was still eating and drinking. For some reason, she felt he might have a solution.

Driven by her instinct for rescue, Dongfang Jing rushed over and knelt at Ye Junlin’s feet, pleading with a tearful voice:

“Senior Ye! Please, save my daughter!”

As soon as she said it, Dongfang Jing felt quite embarrassed; she was truly casting her hopes in desperation.

In this situation, what good would calling for help do?

Even if this person was the legendary Immortal King, it was simply inconsequential in front of the terrifying tribulation!

“Oh, I thought it was something serious.”

Ye Junlin put down his chopsticks and gently helped Dongfang Jing to her feet, smiling as he said, “Don’t panic, Little Thunder is one of us. I’ll just have a word with it.”

“Huh?”

Dongfang Jing was utterly astonished, a dozen question marks popping up in her head.

Little Thunder? Who on earth is that?

“Haha, we’re all friends here, Elder Thunder won’t make things difficult for your daughter,” Li Wujie chuckled mischievously. “Of course, it’s mainly doing this for Master’s sake, so you don’t have to worry at all!”

“Exactly, to solve the problem, you need to find the one who caused it,” Hong Qianye nodded.

The more Dongfang Jing listened, the more confused she became. She anxiously looked around, repeatedly confirming whether that figure was present.

“May I ask, where’s Elder Thunder?” Dongfang Jing inquired cautiously, clouded with confusion.

“Over there!” Ye Junlin pointed.

Dongfang Jing raised her head, stunned in an instant.

Wait, you’ve been talking about the Lightning Tribulation this whole time?!

At that moment, Dongfang Jing felt like she’d been played on stage, a mix of grievance, shame, and indignation surged within her.

This is just too much!

Are you treating me like a fool?!

The Lightning Tribulation is the ruler of the embodiment of billions of cultivators’ paths to immortality, how could its status be dismissed so lightly?!

Just as Dongfang Jing felt hopeless, Ye Junlin cleared his throat and shouted at the sky:

“Little Thunder, stand down; give me some face.”

As soon as the words landed.

The monstrous and terrifying power of the thunder abruptly froze.

No one knew what the Lightning Tribulation was thinking at that moment.

Upon seeing that familiar silver-haired youth, it felt completely crushed.

Damn, why is it you again?!

Does a top-tier bigshot like you even have any fun hanging around in this world?

What do you mean by giving you face? Am I supposed to lose face here?

I have principles too!!

Despite the Lightning Tribulation feeling extremely dissatisfied, seeing Ye Junlin smile at it sent shivers down its spine, reminding it of the overwhelming beatdown it once took.

Boom~~!!

At this moment, a massive rumble erupted from the depths of the sky, scaring countless people to their core.

“Has the tribulation been angered?” Dongfang Jing started to panic.

However, just a few seconds later, the thunder subsided, and the vast sea of lightning vanished without a trace, the dark clouds dispersed, and the weather cleared up.

Ye Junlin seriously suspected that the earlier claps of thunder were just the tribulation cursing at him!

After barking, it had high-tailed it out of there!

“That little Thunder is such a rascal,” Ye Junlin said with a discontented tone.

“Is it… over?”

Dongfang Mengyao was full of uncertainty.

Swish!

Suddenly, Dongfang Mengyao’s skin radiated a brilliant glow, white as jade, flawless and flawless, enhanced by colorful petals falling from the sky, making her look like a sacred fairy.

The scene was incredibly dreamlike, mesmerizing to behold.

“Did I become an immortal? And a Celestial Immortal at that!” This sudden surprise left Dongfang Mengyao breathless, her face flushed with excitement.

“This, this…” Dongfang Jing was dumbfounded, as if petrified, staring blankly.

Then, she looked at Ye Junlin in disbelief, her mind buzzing.

Who could have imagined that something as terrifying as the Lightning Tribulation could only be called Little Thunder in Senior Ye’s presence?!

Most importantly, it actually gave him face and obediently backed off without causing trouble!

Why is that?

Just because he looks good?!

Dongfang Jing was baffled, feeling this scene challenged her understanding.

“Mom, I’m an immortal now too!” Dongfang Mengyao flew into her mother’s arms like a joy-filled magpie, excitedly exclaiming.

“Hurry, hurry, kneel and thank Senior Ye! If it weren’t for him, the tribulation wouldn’t have spared you!” Dongfang Jing snapped back to reality and hurriedly urged.

Dongfang Mengyao froze, contemplating the unusual behavior of the tribulation and the words she heard, feeling both moved and filled with awe inside.

Young Master Ye is truly powerful; even the Lightning Tribulation has to give him face!

“Dongfang Mengyao kneels in gratitude to the senior!”

Dongfang Mengyao was quick to catch on, refraining from referring to Ye Junlin as a young master because in her heart, this youth’s status was higher than the heavens.

“No need for formalities, get up,”

Ye Junlin waved his hand. “I told you, Little Thunder is our own; I am well-acquainted with it.”

“Embarrassing, I never expected Senior Ye to have such ties…” Dongfang Jing’s cheeks burned with shame, feeling utterly mortified.

Is this the advantage of having connections?

She had seen it firsthand!

Yet regardless, today was indeed a day worth celebrating.

It was simply double happiness!

As the saying goes: sharing joy is better than solitary delight.

As the ruler, Dongfang Jing immediately declared amnesty across the land and announced her daughter’s ascension to immortality.

Soon enough, the whole country was in an uproar, and many places began to host grand feasts, while the entire nation celebrated in jubilant spirits and gaiety.

Far away, in a remote area of Fengming Prefecture.

Two figures appeared atop a cliff, gazing down at the raging sea, their hearts still shaken.

“Lord, the Human Race did not pursue us!” The slender man said, still shaken.

“Hmm.”

Situ Yan’s face was grim, his fingers tightly gripping his nails, causing a pang of pain.

Before they arrived in the Kunlun Realm, he had been so full of confidence, thinking he could manipulate the locals at will.

Even with the Order Ring, he felt he could prevail in a one-on-one, for he was a member of the Bright Clan’s royal family, possessing the most noble bloodline, which made him virtually invincible in the same realm!

Yet, facing that silver-haired youth, Situ Yan felt a deep-seated dread and caution he had never experienced before against his peers.

Not only was he effortlessly wielding supreme techniques, but his mental power was also so powerful it was nearly flawless.

Could this be a level that an Immortal King could reach?

Situ Yan was spiraling into self-doubt.

“By the way, my lord, before we left, I heard that Human Race apprentice shouting that his master was the strongest Immortal Emperor, who once suppressed the dark upheaval, known as Ye Tian Emperor…”

The slender man recalled, displaying a look of confusion. “Do you think that’s true?”

“Hmm?”

Situ Yan’s eyes lit up. “So that’s it.”

Initially, he had felt frustrated about what kind of Immortal King could wield supreme techniques with such proficiency. After all, even Immortal Emperors and Immortal Sovereigns wouldn’t necessarily be able to comprehend a supreme technique to such a level.

But if it were an Immortal Emperor, everything suddenly made sense!

That Human Race named Ye Junlin was the strongest Immortal Emperor of ancient times in the Kunlun Realm, Ye Tian Emperor!

Although he couldn’t understand why he hadn’t heard of him before, considering he was an ancient taboo figure, Situ Yan felt much better.

No wonder a mere Immortal King had such powerful strength!

The underlying reason was beyond imagination!

“My lord, what should we do next?” The slender man inquired respectfully.

Situ Yan’s eyes flickered, then he regained his calm, as if he had emerged from the failure he just faced.

“Continue the mission; find allies to collaborate with.”

Situ Yan’s hands were clasped behind his back, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his gaze, as a cold smile spread across his lips. “Ye Tian Emperor, I admit you’re formidable, but choosing to stay here was the worst decision of your life!”

With the Order Ring as his trump card, he still firmly believed he would win.

Heh, no matter how strong you are, once you fall into my carefully laid trap and lose your power, you’ll be at my mercy!

Remember, it’s not you sparing me this time, but I, Situ Yan, am sparing you!

“Let’s go.”

“Yes, my lord!”

The two figures vanished from the cliff.
