Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 360

Elder Qingyang was first stunned, then nodded, “It’s as thunderous as a bolt from the blue. This person has been making quite a name for himself lately, thanks to his disciple, Li Wujie.”

“Many fellow cultivators believe that Senior Ye might be a big shot from ancient times! His accomplishments back then definitely extend beyond Immortal King; some even say he’s likely an…”

“An what? Speak!”

“Immortal Sovereign!”

Elder Qingyang gritted his teeth and said.

Mainly due to the death of Blade Ghost, which had a huge shock on the resurrectors, plus the fact that the killer is Senior Ye’s disciple, this inadvertently elevated Senior Ye’s status in their hearts.

As a result.

Bull Dominator not only wasn’t afraid but scoffed, “What kind of nonsense is this Senior Ye? Does he even qualify to rub shoulders with an Immortal Sovereign?”

“What a colossal joke!”

“He probably just woke up early, snagged a few exceptional seedlings to enhance his status. The very type I, Bull Dominator, despise the most—those little mice hiding behind the scenes to build momentum!”

“Strength, you can only know it after some punching!”

“So, you’re saying…” Elder Qingyang’s forehead began to sweat, speaking cautiously.

“Right now, the situation is chaotic; there’s no order. I need to establish the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance first, then use my title as the leader to recruit willing demon resurrectors. After all, to quickly dominate the Central Region and even Kunlun Realm, we need enough Immortal Kings by our side for support.”

Bull Dominator was all arrogance, his tone brooking no argument: “As for that Ye guy from the Human Race, I can give him a chance to follow me later, he’ll just be my servant.”

“If he dares to disobey, I can use that as an excuse to deal with him myself! Beat him until he submits!”

“Just think about it—if even someone like him submits to me, who would dare to make a move in the future?”

Hearing this, Elder Qingyang felt a chill in his heart.

He knew that Bull Dominator wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey; dealing with Senior Ye was just an excuse.

This also showed how confident Bull Dominator was in his own strength.

“Old man, just watch closely! The next era belongs to Bull Dominator!”

Bull Dominator stepped outside the hall, his voice rolling like heavenly thunder as he anxiously looked to showcase his might and establish unparalleled dominance in Kunlun Realm.

Watching the imposing figure of Bull Dominator leave, Elder Qingyang wiped the sweat from his forehead, awkwardly chuckling:

“Hehe, let’s hope so…”

For some reason, he felt there was a massive “danger” symbol hovering over Bull Dominator!

Soon.

News spread through the Central Region like a storm, causing a huge uproar among the resurrectors!

It turned out that the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance has officially been established, called forth by leader Bull Dominator urging ancient demon clans to join.

The most ridiculous part? He issued a harsh message that any demon clan who doesn’t show face would be seen as enemies from now on.

Talk about blatant threats—utterly domineering!

At the same time, upon hearing that Bull Dominator was the first to advance to Immortal Emperor, all the ancient cultivators who were aware of his background quietly cursed.

“Damn it, why did this stupid bull become an Immortal Emperor? With its obnoxious temperament, it’ll surely turn the Central Region upside down!”

“Creating the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance, making himself the leader—obviously wants to use the demon clans as pawns to dominate Kunlun Realm!”

“This brazen bull has such big ambitions—doesn’t he take a moment to look in the mirror?”

“Fellow cultivator, tread carefully; Bull Dominator is now an Immortal Emperor, previously a formidable figure of the Heavenly Bull tribe. Even ordinary Immortal Emperors have to steer clear of him, let alone us Immortal Kings!”

“Sigh, now that he’s gained power, we’re all in for some trouble!”

Ancient cultivators active in various areas were deeply dissatisfied with Bull Dominator’s actions but dared not stand against him; they could only vent their frustrations behind closed doors.

After all, Bull Dominator comes from the Heavenly Bull tribe, a top royal clan among demons; each one is a born warrior, powerful and resilient, with incredibly strong life force.

Coupled with Bull Dominator returning to his peak, he’s even more qualified to look down upon all.

To put it bluntly, he could single-handedly crush tens of thousands of Immortal Kings!

That’s why Bull Dominator is so arrogant, while many ancient cultivators are left to swallow their anger.

Interestingly, although the first Immortal Emperor to appear is from the demon race, upon realizing it’s Bull Dominator, the other demon resurrectors are far from happy; in fact, they quite dislike him.

They know Bull Dominator inside out, and understand he’s just a brawny fool who thinks highly of himself!

Even if they’re willing to join the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance, they won’t reap many benefits, only ending up as lowly laborers, being ordered around.

Such a big fool—whoever wants to be one can go ahead!

In the end.

An awkward scene unfolded.

Right after Bull Dominator finished his speech, the grand scene he anticipated didn’t materialize.

The registration area was eerily quiet.

Bull Dominator stood in the wind, utterly bewildered, his head full of question marks.

What’s going on?

Seriously, they’re not giving me, Bull Dominator, any face?!

Clearly.

Because even though Bull Dominator had all the brawn, he lacked brains and demon charisma; consequently, the other ancient demons did not recognize him.

Still, these big demons didn’t step out to speak out against him; instead, they chose to collectively retreat, hoping to make Bull Dominator back off.

After all, why poke the bear if you can avoid it?

I’m just not giving face to you—what are you going to do about it?!

You’re welcome to track each one down for an accounting; even if one big demon goes down, there are thousands more!

Realizing he was isolated, Bull Dominator’s anger boiled over, flames sparking from his head, nostrils flaring with intense heat.

“Leader Bull, calm down…”

Seeing Bull Dominator getting a taste of reality, Elder Qingyang couldn’t help but relish the moment, but on the surface, he feigned outrage as though standing up for him.

“Damn it, how dare they defy me! Do they really think I won’t go after them?!”

Not a single ancient demon had shown up, seeming like they’d all agreed beforehand, igniting Bull Dominator’s pride and leaving him feeling humiliated.

“Old goat, explain this!”

Called out, Elder Qingyang internally cursed, forcing a stiff smile and said: “Perhaps… everyone wants to give you a surprise?”

“I’ll surprise your mom!!”

Bull Dominator exploded with rage, darting in front of him and slapping him to the ground, fuming, “Surprise?

What the hell is a damn surprise?

This is clearly just refusing to give me, Bull Dominator, any face!”

Elder Qingyang lay on the ground in agony, feeling like his bones were breaking, blood trickling from his mouth, filled with frustration and gloom.

“Hmph!”

Bull Dominator turned around, eyes filled with anger and resolution, “Since none of you take me seriously, I’ll just kill the chicken to scare the monkey as an example.”

Not long after.

Leader Bull Dominator of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance released another harsh notice, directly targeting the strongest cultivation force in the Central Region:

“I give five days for Xuantian Holy Land to send someone to the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance to submit; otherwise, I’ll leave no chickens or dogs alive—kill them all!”

When this news broke, countless cultivators were left stunned.

Holy hell, he’s serious?!

They all knew the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance was just a shell; leader Bull Dominator was akin to a lone commander, only relying on his Immortal Emperor level to earn such arrogant qualifications.

But Xuantian Holy Land is led by the renowned Senior Ye; his identity has gained an air of mystery during all this discussion.

So, Bull Dominator’s action is effectively a declaration of war against Senior Ye!

Regarding who’s stronger, there’s been much debate lately.

Excluding the fanatic fans, most rational cultivators showed concern, thinking that Senior Ye might be in serious trouble this time.

After all, with Bull Dominator’s background and power, how many in the Central Region can contend with him directly?

In an instant.

The atmosphere in the Central Region became thick with tension and pressure.

All factions watched closely, not daring to make a sound.

If Xuantian Holy Land bows down, it would mean Bull Dominator won this round and further fuel his arrogance.

Honestly, everyone hopes that Senior Ye could step in to intimidate this reckless bull!

Just as a battle was on the verge of breaking out.

In a quaint teahouse.

Two figures sat facing each other, leaning against the outer railing, a teapot, teacups, and snack platters laid out on the table.

A middle-aged man, dignified in appearance and dressed as a scholar, laid down his folding fan and cautiously picked up the teapot, actively pouring tea for the blue-clad old man across from him to show respect.

The tea in the cup shone amber, with a rich aroma wafting.

The middle-aged man named Zhang Qingzheng was also a resurrector with a cultivation level at the Ninth Layer of Immortal King.

If other ancient cultivators were present, they would be shocked, for this revered and respected figure actually lowered himself to pour tea for an old man!

However, if they knew the old man’s identity, they would instantly understand this was entirely reasonable.

Because this old man had an impressive background!

Wearing a blue robe and carrying a long sword, he appeared rather ordinary, but his deep-set eyes seemed capable of seeing through anyone’s secrets.

Zhang Qingzheng spoke respectfully, “Old senior, please enjoy this tea.”

“Mm.”

The blue-clad old man lifted the teacup and took a sip.

“Who would’ve thought that bull would jump straight to Immortal Emperor so quickly? It’s just unbelievable! There has to be some hidden agenda!” Zhang Qingzheng exclaimed indignantly.

“The secrets behind this no longer matter,” the old man frowned, “Now that bull is leveraging his cultivation to prepare for a major upheaval, our Human Race is currently at a disadvantage.”

“What a pity, if only the old senior could regain your former might, you could easily chop that arrogant bull down with a single sword strike! There wouldn’t even be a chance for it to run rampant!” Zhang Qingzheng lamented.

Having existed during the ancient era, he knew just how formidable this blue-clad elder once was, especially in his prime.

In his heyday, the blue-clad elder was Sixth Layer of Immortal Emperor, and his Immortal Wheel reached the Seventh Turn, mastering the exceedingly rare Heavenly Grade Sword Intent; his Green Lotus Sword Technique shook the Kunlun Realm,

He was revered as the Green Lotus Sword Immortal!

Who would’ve thought.

After such a long time, when Zhang Qingzheng saw the old predecessor again, the latter’s cultivation had actually regressed to the First Layer of Immortal King, with an aura that seemed somewhat unstable, as if harboring serious internal ailments…
