Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 366

As the inside scoop got revealed, the news swept through the Central Region like a hurricane.

Countless cultivators were left dumbfounded.

That Immortal Emperor-level Tian Niu clan powerhouse was just taken down by Senior Ye?

And, after death, was turned into a whole beef banquet?!

Oh my god, how delicious must that be!

“I heard that the Yin-Yang Saint Son was also on the scene, and according to him, the beef’s texture was super tender!”

“Senior Ye is truly formidable; no wonder he couldn’t be bothered with that demon bull before. They’re just not in the same league!”

“Exactly, to Senior Ye, that demon bull was just walking food!”

The discussions erupted, buzzing loudly.

When everyone learned about Bull Dominator’s fate, they felt a mix of pity and schadenfreude.

Why pick a fight with anyone but Senior Ye!

Was that something you could provoke?

Just asking for trouble!

And in the revivalist circle, it was like an earthquake had hit.

“For sure, we weren’t wrong before; Senior Ye is a top human figure from ancient times, staying in the Kunlun Realm to set things up!”

“I really want to visit him and see Senior Ye in person!”

“By the way, now that Bull Dominator is dead, the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance has fallen apart. I wonder what will happen next in the Central Region?”

Clearly, after news of Ye Junlin taking down Bull Dominator spread, it greatly boosted the morale of many human revivalists who felt genuine awe and pride.

As for the demon side…

Their anxiety finally died down…

Despite disliking Bull Dominator’s reign, panic spread as soon as they learned about his demise.

Gold State.

Qingyang Dao Palace.

An old man with a cracked goat horn and wearing a sky-blue robe took a deep breath. His emotions were quite complex.

While Bull Dominator’s death did mean he had a much easier life, it also served as a huge warning: that human who acted was incredibly terrifying!

Elder Qingyang even feared that because he had provided Bull Dominator with a chance to rise, he might end up as a roast lamb himself!

After all, that Senior Ye was simply terrifying!

“Sigh, all I want is to live a peaceful life. Why do I have to get caught up in this vortex…”

Elder Qingyang sighed bitterly.

In some remote Dao State.

An area spanning one hundred thousand miles was barren. Numerous countries and cultivation sects had completely turned into graveyards.

A thick stench of blood filled the air, and distant rumblings of thunder echoed from the heavens, like even the sky couldn’t stand it.

A dark purple toad, perhaps overstuffed, laid lazily on the cliff to digest.

The horrific black killing aura enveloped it, causing chills all over.

During this time, it had crazily fed on beings to enlarge itself, and its cultivation level had already restored to the peak level of an Immortal King.

But it was still a long way from the Immortal Emperor!

Suddenly, the ugly toad opened its eyes, and a glimmer of surprise flashed through its dark red pupils.

Whoosh!

It leaped up, plunging into the icy pool at the bottom of the cliff, splashing water everywhere.

At the bottom of the cold pool, a deep blue fruit shaped like a dragon’s head emerged, radiating brilliant thunderlight and seemingly containing some mysterious power.

“Indeed, the reviving Kunlun Realm has plenty of opportunities!”

“This fruit can not only let me reach the Immortal Emperor level but also make me even stronger!”

“My chance has come!”

The dark purple toad was overjoyed and unhesitatingly stuck out its crimson tongue to roll up and swallow that fruit.

In an instant.

The fruit activated.

Sizzling blue lightning burst forth from its body, which soon transformed into eerie dark lightning. The toad’s body began undergoing massive changes, morphing to resemble a lizard, spikes protruding from its back, a long tail extending out, and even two small short arms sprouting, while its eyes glowed with a bloodthirsty light.

If Ye Junlin saw this, he would certainly have an odd look on his face.

Isn’t that Godzilla?

Five months later.

Boom!

A bottomless black pool suddenly formed a gigantic vortex, emanating a terrifying aura like a sea.

The sky was filled with lightning and howling winds.

Zzz!

A pitch-black beam of light shot up from the pool into the sky.

The enormous monster no longer bore any trace of the previous toad; instead, it resembled a fierce, bipedal lizard-like creature.

Indeed, that magical fruit, once swallowed and refined by the Venerable Toad, had triggered a chemical reaction, resulting in an unprecedented bloodline transformation.

Whoosh!

That lizard-like monster transformed into a middle-aged man draped in a black cloak, a fierce face, wearing a dark purple ancient crown, and triangular eyes.

The Immortal Wheel behind him indicated his identity!

Feeling the earth-shattering changes within him, Venerable Toad’s eyes sparkled with excitement, and a proud grin spread across his face.

This feeling was absolutely fantastic!

Unknowingly.

His cultivation level had already reached the sixth layer of Immortal Emperor, and his Immortal Wheel had achieved the rare seven turns!

With that unparalleled terrifying power inside him, Venerable Toad understood that he was far from what he used to be, and he was now eligible to fight for the strongest position in the Central Region.

“What’s Bull Dominator to me? If he stood before me, I could suppress him with one hand!”

“As for that Senior Ye… Hmph!”

Now overflowing with ambition, Venerable Toad was eager to dominate the Central Region and command the powerful beneath him to gather precious materials, taking all opportunities for himself.

Despite Bull Dominator’s cautionary tale, greed and desire gradually overshadowed his inner fears.

Venerable Toad refused to live under someone else’s roof; he wanted to take their place.

As his thoughts spiraled, a venomous glint flashed in his eyes, and he let out an unpleasant, grating laugh.

“It’s time for a change in the heavens!”

…

It’s worth mentioning.

During this period, the Kunlun Realm continued undergoing miraculous changes, with the five great domains giving rise to more opportunities and chances, benefiting an increasing number of cultivators, who surged forward in cultivation.

A very small number of revivalists even seized the opportunity to ascend to the Immortal Emperor level, feeling like they could look down on all their peers and achieve great things.

Central Region.

Xuantian Holy Land.

In the back mountain’s cave dwelling, the Yellow-haired Old Man stepped out with a whisk in hand, emanating an even more terrifying aura, with a brilliant Immortal Wheel shimmering behind him, its light eternal and unextinguished.

Now, Senior Gou’s cultivation had recovered to the fourth layer of Immortal Emperor. Though he still had a long way to go to reach the peak, his Immortal Wheel achieving seven turns was relatively rare among Immortal Emperors.

Stepping into the yard, he saw a few people playing poker.

“Senior Ye, your luck is way too good; how come you always have good cards?”

“Sigh, I’ve already been thoroughly crushed.”

“I win!”

…

Indeed, Ye Junlin and the others were playing poker at that time.

At this moment.

Senior Gou looked at the silver-haired young man, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Strangely enough, he realized he had never seen the guy practice, yet his realm and power were undeniable!

Even though his cultivation had already become comparable, attempting to compete with him was just a daydream!

Sigh, that’s the difference between humans and dogs…

During this time, Ye Junlin was either eating and drinking or dragging Jiang Tianming and the others for poker fun.

Life was simple and unpretentious.

Suddenly.

A system prompt rang in his mind:

“Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new mission. Establish the Immortal Dao Alliance and hold the first meeting. You need at least fifty revivalists present for it to count as completed. The reward is Sword Intent of Way Items!”
