Without a doubt, Bull Dominator came with an attitude ready to settle scores.
He was already ticked off for being isolated by the ancient demon clan, so he aimed his anger straight at the Xuantian Holy Land, wanting to flex his muscles and reassert his authority.
His plan was simple: force the Xuantian Holy Land to make a choice—submit or stand against him.
If they chose the former, that would save him a lot of trouble. If they chose the latter, well, that was exactly what he wanted. After all, he had absolute confidence in crushing that so-called Senior Ye!
He firmly believed that he was invincible now, capable of taking on anyone in the Central Region, flattening all who dared to oppose him!
But surprise, surprise! The deadline passed, and the Xuantian Holy Land didn’t show any response, not even a hint of acknowledgment—just ignored him like he was air.
Listening to the sneering remarks from the Central Region, Bull Dominator’s ego took a hit like never before.
He felt like a clown jumping around trying to get attention, only to realize no one wanted to pay him any mind…
Finally, driven to the edge, Bull Dominator stormed over in a fury to settle the score.
Clearly, cold shoulder treatment was terrifying!
Even a bull couldn’t stand it!
Fuming with rage, Bull Dominator swore to reclaim his lost face. The first thing he had to do was drag out that Senior Ye for a good thrashing to relieve his pent-up frustration.
At this moment.
Bursting into the Xuantian Holy Land, Bull Dominator was greeted by a lively and joyous scene that made his eyes go bloodshot, breathing out fiery air in anger as humiliation surged through him.
Damn it!
So that’s why they ignored me before—they were too busy watching the show.
You selfish humans from the Human Race, didn’t you consider my feelings at all?
Seeing Bull Dominator’s furious face, the numerous disciples and elders were trembling in fear, quaking like quail.
There was simply no way—Bull Dominator at the Immortal Emperor level was terrifying, exuding an overpowering aura!
“Oh my God, this bull monster is scary!” Ji Baxiao trembled, his eyes filled with terror.
Lin Duxiu’s heart raced as he thought of something, then steadied himself and said in a deep voice, “Don’t panic, we have Senior Ye here.”
Just when the atmosphere turned heavy and somber, a playful voice echoed,
“Yo, Minotaur!”
Ye Junlin flashed in front of Bull Dominator, hands behind his back, gazing at him from a distance.
He eyed Bull Dominator up and down like he was examining a fancy piece of meat!
Bull Dominator squinted at the young man in front of him, uncertainly stating, “You… are the Senior Ye they mentioned?”
“Indeed, I am Ye Junlin,” Ye Junlin replied with a smile, seeming even more cheerful upon seeing Bull Dominator.
“Hahaha!”
Bull Dominator was initially stunned, then burst into loud laughter that echoed across the sky, dripping with contempt and mockery.
As soon as he laid eyes on Ye Junlin, he sensed the other’s true cultivation level. Though Ye Junlin was at the Immortal King Ninth Layer, that was nothing compared to an Immortal Emperor.
Besides, he wasn’t just any Immortal Emperor—he was a peak Immortal Emperor at the Third Layer with four turns of the Immortal Wheel, a powerhouse of the pure-blooded Tianniu clan!
Wiping the floor with a human Immortal King? That would be a walk in the park!
So, Bull Dominator decided he would stomp on Ye Junlin and brutally humiliate him, then put a chain around his neck and drag him through the streets like a beast, letting the cultivators of the Central Region see that this so-called Senior Ye was nothing special…
After this little incident, no more resurrectionists would dare to defy him!
Seeing Bull Dominator cackling, Ye Junlin couldn’t help but shake his head and say, “What a way to wrap up your imminent demise. Truly a dumb bull.”
At those words,
Laughter fell to a sudden halt.
Bull Dominator could hardly believe his ears, staring at Ye Junlin with his eyes wide, questioning,
“What… what did you just call me?!”
A human Immortal King dared to call him a dumb bull to his face?
Was it intentional or just a slip-up?
“Geez, can’t even understand basic words, really is a dumb bull,” Ye Junlin shook his head and sighed.
“Pfft, pfft, pfft.”
Everyone burst into laughter, struggling to hold it back.
With this young man around, for some reason, they felt at ease; it seemed like any tense or oppressive atmosphere could be diffused.
“You’re asking for it!”
Bull Dominator fumed, taking a step forward, his massive fist gathering an overwhelming power, whipping up a gale of monstrous wind as his colossal punch shot out.
Boom…
The terrifying pressure hit like a mountain, making it hard for many to breathe.
“Oh no, that’s an Immortal Emperor! Can Senior Ye deal with it at this stage?” Canglang Jun expressed concern.
“Don’t worry, Ye Junlin can handle it,” Senior Gou said leisurely.
He knew just how terrifying Ye Junlin’s strength was; even in the realm of Immortal Kings, he could surpass most Immortal Emperors!
“I’ve been waiting for this moment.”
Ye Junlin’s eyes flickered, a sly smile playing on his lips.
He had thought he would have to deal with that fool Long Ao Tian to get a boost to the Immortal Emperor level, but little did he know Bull Dominator would come knocking first to deliver experience points.
What a thoughtful surprise for the New Year!
“Little human Immortal King, let me show you how I can crush you with one punch!” Bull Dominator roared, his fist charged with the immense shadow of a bull, ready to shred the puny Ye Junlin into bits.
【Ding! Detected host encountering an Immortal Emperor level opponent, triggering ‘Against the Strong’ passive effect, gaining Immortal Emperor Fourth Layer cultivation!】
The system’s prompt echoed in his mind.
Whoosh!
In an instant.
Ye Junlin’s eyes burned with golden brilliance, radiating like a divine being, his skin glowing with the luster of white jade, embodying ethereal grace.
Behind him, a holy golden halo appeared, exuding an everlasting aura of the Immortal Path, revealing the passage of time’s vicissitudes.
This was the Immortal Wheel, the most important symbol of an Immortal Emperor!
This meant Ye Junlin had truly broken through to the realm of the Immortal Emperor!
Boom…
The overwhelming power swept forth like a crashing wave, making Bull Dominator’s expression change dramatically as the fires of his anger were doused, leaving him icy cold all over.
His bovine eyes nearly popped out, filled with deep disbelief as he gasped, “Y-You’re also an Immortal Emperor?!”
“Guess,” Ye Junlin replied with a teasing smile, effortlessly dispersing the overwhelming punch with a flick of his sleeve in the blink of an eye.
Bang!!
A muffled explosion rang out, mixed with some pained groans.
“Uggh,”
Bull Dominator staggered back more than ten yards, his entire arm tingling with pain, blood trickling down as he stared in utter shock.
As a Minotaur, he was completely dumbfounded!
It was just like the time he learned he’d been cheated on—shock plastered all over his face…
