Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 388

司徒衍 couldn’t believe the unexpected reactions from Long Ao Tian and the One-Eyed Giant. He felt like rolling his eyes internally.

Seriously, what’s up with all the Resurrectors acting like this?

With no choice, Situ Yan patiently explained,

“The Ye Tian Emperor I’m talking about is your ancient era’s strongest Immortal Emperor. He once suppressed the dark turmoil and had unmatched combat strength, recognized as the number one under the Saints!”

“Gasp~~~~”

Hearing this, Long Ao Tian and the One-Eyed Giant almost sucked all the air out of the world.

They were utterly shocked by this revelation!

“You guys… really didn’t know?”

Situ Yan’s expression was bizarre.

Suddenly, he felt mentally exhausted. Why did he have to explain the Ye Tian Emperor’s backstory every single time?

Isn’t the illustrious Ye Tian Emperor—who suppressed the dark origins—supposed to be famous in the Kunlun Realm?

Why did these ancient cultivators act like it was their first time hearing about him?

This is so unreliable!

“Ye Alliance Leader actually has such an identity…” Long Ao Tian swallowed hard, his eyes filled with awe.

No wonder he went all out and still faced such a brutal defeat—it turned out the guy was not only an Immortal Emperor but the strongest one, hailed as the number one under the Saints!

Long Ao Tian started to feel that being able to spar with such a legendary figure was the greatest honor of his cultivation journey.

“Situ Young Master, is this news credible? Why have I never heard of it before?” the One-Eyed Giant questioned with suspicion.

If the Ye Tian Emperor really existed back then, his deeds would have spread far and wide. They shouldn’t just be hearing about it now!

Although there were rumors in the Central Region claiming the Ye Alliance Leader was an ascetic Immortal Emperor, the One-Eyed Giant still harbored doubts about such exaggerated tales.

In its view, while it wasn’t impossible for living beings to become Immortal Emperors without making it public, such high-level existences would only circulate within other Immortal circles, no one outside had the right to know.

But the Ye Tian Emperor, with such impressive feats, should have been renowned throughout the Kunlun Realm, allowing people to appreciate his merits—how come even an ancient being like it had never heard of him?

Does that even make sense?

“You just have a bad memory!” Situ Yan snapped, his expression dark, clearly annoyed.

I’m trying to help you out here, and you’re questioning me?

“Uh…” The One-Eyed Giant scratched its head, looking embarrassed.

I mean, why so fiery?

“Maybe we’ve slept for too long, causing us to forget parts of our memories, which is why we can’t recall anything about the Ye Tian Emperor.”

Long Ao Tian spoke seriously, “I believe many Resurrectors share this phenomenon of memory loss!”

He totally believed it, and the reason he believed it so strongly was that he had fought Ye Junlin.

That feeling of using all his strength only to be utterly crushed left a deep impression on the once proud Long Ao Tian.

So only saying Ye Tian Emperor could explain why that silver-haired young man’s power was so outrageous!

Lost in thought,

Long Ao Tian felt his emotions surge.

Ye Tian Emperor, the strongest Immortal Emperor, number one under the Saints, hahahaha, I, Long Ao Tian, am not grieving my defeat! Not at all!!

“Seems like you have a point…” The One-Eyed Giant looked like it had a toothache, reluctantly accepting this explanation.

In this situation, what else could it do but believe?

Once the topic shifted, Situ Yan’s expression eased a bit, and he continued to persuade:

“Long Friend, since the Ye Tian Emperor defeated you, don’t you want revenge? If you join me, once we deal with the Ye Tian Emperor, you’ll be the leader of the Immortal Dao Alliance!”

His words were laced with deep hatred for Ye Junlin.

After all, he had two collaborations messed up by Ye Junlin before; he ended up fleeing like a dog—such humiliating experiences left him with grudges.

But he had to be patient, maximizing his benefits!

Otherwise, he would have already deployed the Order Ring against Ye Junlin!

Who knew.

After hearing that, Long Ao Tian erupted in laughter, filled with scorn and disdain.

Situ Yan felt a chill run down his spine, his expression turning ugly, “What are you laughing at?”

Long Ao Tian stopped laughing and angrily retorted, “I’m laughing at you being a fool! You thought I’d sink to your level?”

Situ Yan’s anger flared up, his facial muscles tensing, gritting his teeth,

“You don’t really think the Ye Tian Emperor can protect the Kunlun Realm, do you?”

“The Saint’s Agreement still holds for now, but once it’s truly void, when a real Saint descends—even if the Ye Tian Emperor regains his full power, he can’t escape being slaughtered!”

“By then, when the Kunlun Realm crumbles, what fate awaits you?”

Seeing this, the One-Eyed Giant also added, “Long Friend, Situ Young Master makes a fair point. Even if that Ye Junlin is the Ye Tian Emperor, what can he do against the greater tide? No Immortal can compete with a mere finger from a Saint!”

In its view, Saints represented absolute power, and no amount of Immortals combined could stand a chance. The so-called Ye Tian Emperor could only be a larger bug in their eyes.

Long Ao Tian, filled with rage, laughed in anger: “You ignorant fool! Do you think I’m scared of death? If I was, I wouldn’t have rebelled against the Black Dragon Tribe back in the day!”

“I refuse you because I admire the Ye Alliance Leader! I, Long Ao Tian, will bow only to him!”

“Furthermore, even if the Kunlun Realm has fallen, I will always take pride in being a cultivator of the Kunlun Realm!”

“This is my home! Anyone who dares to invade will be killed without mercy!!”

His impassioned roar resonated across the heavens, echoing through the air.

“You damned bug…”

Situ Yan was livid, seeing such stubbornness from a Kunlun native was utterly maddening!

“Long Friend, please reconsider!” The One-Eyed Giant felt uneasy, sensing something was off.

Boom…

Inside the nest, a gigantic dark golden-scaled dragon surged out, hovering above, glaring down at Situ Yan and the others, its eyes blazing with killing intent.

“Long Ao Tian, what do you want?!” Situ Yan’s expression changed.

Long Ao Tian smirked coldly, “What do you think? Of course, I’m going to kill you to eliminate future troubles for the Ye Alliance Leader and the Kunlun Realm!”

As he spoke, the skies crackled with thunder, and a pressure filled the area, making it hard to breathe.

“Situ, Situ Young Master, what do we do now?” the One-Eyed Giant quaked in fear.

It felt like it was just out of luck.

It thought Long Ao Tian would recognize the situation and join the Heavenly Realm, only to find out he had no intention of bowing and instead firmly stood against the outer alien races!

Most importantly, Long Ao Tian was about to unleash his wrath, and the terrifying power comparable to an Immortal Sovereign was something the One-Eyed Giant knew it could not contend with, so it was left hoping for Situ Yan.

After all, Situ Yan, being a core member of the Bright Clan, wouldn’t dare approach if he didn’t have some trump card up his sleeve against such a powerful Long Ao Tian.

Sure enough.

Situ Yan remained eerily calm, and then, to the One-Eyed Giant’s disbelief, he uttered a heavy word,

“Run!!!”

In a flash, he turned around and bolted away like a streak of silver light…

The One-Eyed Giant: “???”
