Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 364

Why is it that this human’s cultivation level is not only at the Immortal Emperor realm, but even higher than him by a whole layer?!

This doesn’t make sense, does it?!

Bull Dominator was internally in turmoil. He had originally thought he would be the first to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm and be the trailblazer, but it turned out that this guy was already at the Immortal Emperor level, just waiting to watch him make a fool of himself!

No wonder this guy could disregard his verbal threats before!

Recovering his cultivation at such a rapid pace, could it be true what the rumors say—that he was once a big shot at the Immortal Sovereign level?

The more Bull Dominator thought about it, the more scared he became, beads of sweat erupting on his forehead, causing him to become drenched.

Even though Ye Junlin didn’t have a trace of the unique aura of the Resurrected, if he had been active in the world for a long time, that special aura would also gradually be worn away!

Therefore, Bull Dominator couldn’t use this point to doubt Ye Junlin’s identity. On the contrary, after the earlier fright, he was even more convinced of the other’s formidable background!!

After all, how long has it been since the laws of heaven and earth relaxed their restrictions?

Let’s be clear.

The reason he could recover to the Immortal Emperor level was largely due to his shortcuts; without Elder Qingyang’s ram horns, he wouldn’t have been this far ahead and causing such a stir this time.

Yet this human was restoring his power even faster without any external help. If he didn’t have a solid foundation of Dao backing him, he wouldn’t believe it even if you beat him to death!!

“It turns out Senior Ye was already at the Immortal Emperor level; we were still kept in the dark,” Canglang Jun exclaimed in shock, a bitter smile tugging at his lips.

Senior Gou’s eyes were wide, utterly shocked by what was unfolding before him.

In his mind, even if Ye Junlin was at the Immortal King level, he shouldn’t have to fear beings like Bull Dominator.

But who would have thought, Ye Junlin gave him a huge surprise.

The guy silently leveled up to Immortal Emperor’s Fourth Layer!

This speed is just absurd!

“No wonder he is favored by the Heavenly Dao…” Senior Gou muttered to himself.

At that moment, feeling the massive changes in his body after the surge in cultivation, Ye Junlin felt quite good.

He looked at the dumbfounded Bull Dominator and playfully said, “Dumb cow, you still want to keep fighting?”

Bull Dominator’s scalp tingled, and his hair stood on end. For some reason, he just felt that the other’s gaze was strange, like looking at a delicious dish.

“Ye Dao friend! I was just joking earlier; I didn’t actually come to be your enemy…” Bull Dominator forced a smile, trying to play it cool.

“Haha, you mean you came all this way to give me New Year’s wishes?” Ye Junlin replied, dripping with sarcasm.

To his shock, upon hearing this, Bull Dominator nodded rapidly like a chick pecking at rice. “Yes, yes! You’re absolutely right, Ye Dao friend! I’m here to wish you a Happy New Year!”

“Ahem…”

Then he pretended to cough a few times, forcing out a smile that looked worse than crying, and cupped his fists in congratulations, saying, “I wish Ye Dao friend could quickly reach the peak of the Immortal Path and attain the position of an Immortal Emperor!”

After saying this, Bull Dominator felt like an absolute clown in his own play.

He had stormed over to demand an explanation, and it turns out he was here to send New Year’s greetings?

Totally ridiculous…

Watching this dramatic scene unfold, everyone looked at each other, bewildered.

This twist was more entertaining than a New Year’s show!

Ye Junlin smiled and nodded. “I accept your congratulations.”

“Since that’s the case, I’ll take my leave now. You all continue with your business, and treat it like I was never here!”

Bull Dominator quickly said this and bolted.

In an instant.

Winds howled, and the world dimmed.

Just as Bull Dominator was about to make his escape, a golden flying sword intercepted him like lightning.

A terrifying and menacing Sword Qi compelled Bull Dominator to stop in his tracks.

His facial muscles twitched as he gritted his teeth, “Ye Dao friend, there’s no need to be so extreme!”

Ye Junlin replied with deep meaning, “To be honest, I haven’t had braised beef for quite some time.”

“You!”

Bull Dominator was taken aback, a chill running up his spine as if his skull were about to be popped open.

No wonder he always felt something was off about this guy’s gaze; turns out he was eyeing him for his meat!

“Ye Junlin, do you really think I have no power to resist?!”

At this point, Bull Dominator was completely pushed to his limits, and the purple Immortal Wheel on his back began to spin wildly.

Boom~

In that moment, Bull Dominator’s imposing aura surged explosively, releasing a vast power equivalent to an army of four hundred ordinary Immortal Emperors.

Then, as if he were using some secret technique, his muscles bulged, enveloped in thick, dark light, and the two horns on his head ignited with blazing black flames, radiating terrifying energy fluctuations.

“Moo~~~!!!”

Bull Dominator’s blood-red eyes bulged as veins throbbed on his forehead. He threw back his head and let out a deafening, earth-shattering bovine roar that echoed throughout Tai Xuan Prefecture, causing countless people to shiver in fear and anxiety.

Boom boom boom…

Under the countless astonished gazes, Bull Dominator charged like a cannonball, carrying an incomprehensible terrifying power straight toward the dashing young man with flowing white hair.

“Is Bullhead going crazy?”

Ye Junlin felt amused, unperturbed, as he tightened his fist, his palm growing hot, glowing with brilliant golden light that held the breath of trembling the void.

This was Nine-Grade Immortal Power!

Having reached the Immortal Emperor level, the available Nine-Grade Immortal Power he could wield had increased from merely ten percent to a whopping thirty percent!

And don’t underestimate this extra twenty percent; the power it produced was unimaginable!

Then.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes.

Bull Dominator’s frenzied charge was effortlessly blocked with a single hand by Ye Junlin.

A series of rumbling sounds akin to engines igniting reverberated through the air.

Poor Bull Dominator struggled with all his might but couldn’t move even an inch; the resistance before him was like an insurmountable chasm.

Ye Junlin, with an expression of utter indifference, uttered the scornful words, “Is that all?”

Bull Dominator was drenched in sweat, his eyes shifting from anger to confusion, then to despair!

This attack had exhausted all his strength, an effort absolutely befitting of the best among the Immortal Emperors.

Yet, he couldn’t even budge his opponent an inch?!

Such incredible power was simply beyond imagination, and this was without even calling upon the Immortal Wheel!

“Stop struggling; it’s useless,” Ye Junlin said, and with a sudden jerk of his palm—

“Ah…”

Bull Dominator’s head was a bloody mess, his two horns shattered, his brain feeling like mush as his entire body hurtled backwards.

Everyone watched with wide eyes, astounded that even a being of the Immortal Emperor level like Bull Dominator could be toyed with like this by the young man.

It was clear that his strength was simply unfathomable!

Whoosh~

The golden flying sword emitted dazzling light, resembling a brilliant sun as it pierced into Bull Dominator’s chest and burst out the other side.

“No…”

In his mind, the last vestige of rationality was engulfed by darkness.

Boom!

A muted thud resonated from the ground.

In death, Bull Dominator revealed his true form, a pitch-black bull, collapsed in a pool of blood, devoid of any breath.

Ye Junlin flicked his sleeve and sheathed the flying sword, clapping his hands, “Done.”

Silence.

An eerie stillness prevailed.

Countless people were dumbfounded, their brains failing to comprehend.

He died just like that?!

Ji Baxiao snapped back to reality and shouted excitedly, “Senior Ye is invincible!”

“That’s right! My Master has never lost!” Li Wujie proclaimed proudly, feeling this was entirely within reason.

Looking at the corpse of the black bull, Hong Qianye revealed a mocking expression, tsking, “What a shame, right on New Year’s.”

“Ugh, this scene is truly one that would make even dogs shake their heads in disapproval,” Senior Gou sighed, shaking his head.

He knew that the Bullhead Clan once had its glory in ancient times, just like his own race, both being top-notch royal families.

Under normal circumstances, Bull Dominator should have been unrivaled!

But alas, he chose the wrong opponent to show off!

Ye Junlin called out, “Xiaoxi.”

“I’m here!”

Bai Xiaoxi, wearing a chef’s hat and apron, jumped out, her cute, youthful face making one want to pinch it.

“Turn this bull into a whole beef feast so everyone can enjoy it,” Ye Junlin instructed.

“Okay!”

Bai Xiaoxi had been waiting for these words, eagerly dragging the bull’s tail and zooming off to handle the body with zeal.

At the workstation, Bai Xiaoxi began to chop excitedly with a silver-white knife.

Her little face radiated excitement.

She didn’t like fighting, but she loved making delicious food!

“Why are you all staring? Keep watching the show, anyone who hasn’t finished performing, carry on,” Ye Junlin said.

“The Supreme Saint speaks! Everyone, take your positions!” Jiang Tianming swiftly called out.

Seeing Bull Dominator’s fate, he became even more grateful for his earlier decision.

So what if one was an Immortal Emperor?

If you messed with Senior Ye, you’d still end up dead, and then be turned into a beef feast—truly a tragic end.

Soon.

In the audience, order was restored once more.

In the center of the stage.

The two disciples resumed their roles, adjusting their states and continuing the show.

The blue-haired man raised his golden trident with all his might, shouting desperately, “Revive, my beloved!!!!”

With radiant light flashing, stars fell like rain, carrying a serene and sacred aura.

The rabbit-eared girl lying on the ground opened her eyes, murmuring, “Is it you, Third Brother…?”

“Xiaowu! You finally woke up!” The blue-haired man exclaimed, tightly embracing the rabbit-eared girl, tears streaming down his face, speaking with deep affection, “This time, let’s never part again, okay?”
