Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 404

According to reason, facing the forceful suppression of the laws of heaven and earth, any beings of the immortal path would be unable to resist, as this involves the operation of the heavenly way in the Kunlun Realm, which is a level beyond the Immortal Emperor.

However, Ye Junlin is bound to a system that grows stronger against strong opponents, allowing for a “life or death indifference, if you don’t agree then let’s fight!” attitude!

In an instant.

The sky erupted with thunder and lightning, billions of rays of light shimmering, as if a fierce struggle was unfolding in the heavens.

Before Ye Junlin could react, the system’s notification rang in his mind again,

【Ding, report to the host, it’s been sorted out!】

At the same time, Ye Junlin felt his whole body become much lighter, that feeling of being suppressed vanished in an instant.

Ye Junlin said with satisfaction, “Good job, system.”

This system can really handle things; when needed, it dares to step up!

【Ding, thank you for the praise, this system will continue to protect you!】

Even though the laws of heaven and earth limited his cultivation level to the Immortal Emperor realm, due to Ye Junlin’s trait of growing stronger against strong opponents, he could break through this barrier and ignore the impact.

In other words, he is currently the only Immortal Sovereign in the entire Kunlun Realm!

Then.

Long Ao Tian released a shockwave of energy, which Ye Junlin effortlessly blocked with one hand, holding it down with authority.

“What…” Seeing this scene, Long Ao Tian was dumbfounded, frozen in mid-air like a wooden puppet.

Senior Gou’s eyes widened, his mouth involuntarily dropped open.

Plop!

The giant bone club fell to the ground.

Looking at the young man radiating the aura of an Immortal Sovereign, Senior Gou’s head buzzed, his face full of disbelief.

With the laws of heaven and earth limiting the realm to just the Immortal Emperor, how could an Immortal Sovereign suddenly appear out of nowhere?

Suddenly.

A thought flashed in his mind, exploding like a lightning bolt.

“Truly a bona fide favored one of the heavenly way…” Senior Gou sighed.

Even the heavenly way treats him like a beloved son, so it’s not surprising he gets some special treatment, right?

Thinking this way, Senior Gou’s eyes turned red; to say he felt no envy or jealousy would be a lie.

The strangest part is, it seems he has never seen that young man do any cultivation at all, usually not even simply meditating, yet he secretly broke through to the Immortal Sovereign stage—how is that possible?

He just can’t comprehend it, absolutely can’t!

“Wait, what’s this?”

At this moment, Ye Junlin felt something, and countless strands of a combination of illusion and reality appeared in his hand, swirling madly in the visible spectrum, the energy fluctuations intense, seemingly containing unimaginable power.

“The legends are true; using the Ten-Grade Immortal Wheel to advance to Immortal Sovereign will start with having five million laws of the Immortal Sovereign!”

Senior Gou’s eyes widened in shock.

Unlike the Immortal Emperor realm having Immortal Wheels, if one breaks through to the Immortal Sovereign realm, they will extend the power of their own laws.

The specific effect is the same as the Immortal Wheel, capable of enhancing one’s overall combat power!

There are a total of thirty million laws of the Immortal Sovereign, and how many can be cultivated depends solely on one’s comprehension and talent.

Moreover, the number of laws cultivated while in the Immortal Sovereign stage will affect their future chances of advancing to the Immortal Emperor level.

Generally, newly advanced Immortal Sovereigns usually possess about one hundred thousand laws of the Immortal Sovereign, and if by the time they reach Immortal Sovereign Ninth Heaven they haven’t broken a million, their hopes of becoming an Immortal Emperor are nearly nonexistent.

Because to break through to Immortal Emperor, one must have at least ten million laws!

This is also why most Immortal Sovereigns stagnate at this stage for their entire lives.

As for why it was said that the Ten-Grade Immortal Wheel can have the bearing of an Immortal Emperor, that’s because the first five million laws mastered after reaching the Immortal Sovereign will give a better advantage for advancement than many Immortal Sovereigns.

Starting from the starting line, you’re already ahead by a lot.

Directly looking toward a bright future!

“Oh, so it’s a new playstyle.” Ye Junlin quietly inquired with the system, and only then did he understand what was in his hand.

Looking at the dumbfounded figure ahead, Ye Junlin solemnly asked:

“Little Dragon, are you going to continue fighting?”

At this moment.

Long Ao Tian was a mess in the wind.

He never imagined that the Leader Ye had already broken through to the Immortal Sovereign stage.

His strongest strike was effortlessly caught barehanded by the other; what was there left to fight for?

The problem is, does the Kunlun Realm even allow for the birth of an Immortal Sovereign?

Why have I consistently felt that an invisible barrier has been blocking me from progressing further during this time?

“Truly worthy of the title of the Heavenly Emperor, to still break through to the Immortal Sovereign under such conditions!”

“I, Long Ao Tian, am impressed!”

In the ups and downs of thought, Long Ao Tian looked at Ye Junlin with increasingly reverent eyes, completely losing any fighting spirit.

After all, continuing to fight would only be self-humiliating.

“Leader Ye, this round, I admit defeat!” Long Ao Tian said resignedly, cupping his fists solemnly.

“Not bad, there’s progress, keep it up.”

Ye Junlin’s attitude towards this guy who specifically provides him with experience was quite friendly.

Upon hearing the young man’s praise, the corners of Long Ao Tian’s mouth twitched.

This is what you call progress?

Last time he could still manage a back-and-forth, but this time he was utterly powerless to fight back.

However, now, utilizing his most powerful move at full strength was easily blocked barehanded, the gap was painfully obvious.

Feeling down, Long Ao Tian bitterly smiled, “Leader Ye, I must take my leave; until next time!”

Then he turned around, not looking back, and left.

“Wow, that was fast, I was hoping to keep you for dinner.” Ye Junlin shook his head.

Returning to the small courtyard.

Ye Junlin went straight to Senior Gou, looking at the other’s averse gaze, he pronounced each word clearly:

“Speak, Blackie!”

Senior Gou: “……”

What?

You really believe what a dog said?

Alright fine, let’s just say the old man misjudged you!

Soon.

After Long Ao Tian left, news spread like wildfire, causing a huge uproar in the Central Region.

“What? Leader Ye suppressed Long Ao Tian with one hand?”

“That’s not the key point; I also heard that Leader Ye has already become an Immortal Sovereign!”

“No way, the current laws of heaven and earth only allow for the appearance of Immortal Emperors; how could there possibly be an Immortal Sovereign?”

“Yeah, how on earth did he pull that off?”

……

All over, people were murmuring and debating, discussing Ye Junlin’s ascension to Immortal Sovereign.

As for Long Ao Tian losing again, everyone thought it was quite normal; it wasn’t surprising at all.

After all, when Leader Ye was still in the Immortal Emperor realm, you couldn’t beat him; let alone now that he is in the Immortal Sovereign realm—with even slimmer chances of victory.

Half a month later.

A man with his hair tied back, wearing a deep green robe, possessing the aura of a wandering swordsman, appeared hurriedly in Tai Xuan Prefecture.

His eyes were filled with urgency, as if he was desperately looking for something.

“Ah, I hope I can gather news about Junior Brother Ye at the Xuantian Holy Land. After all, before leaving the Xuantian Sect, the sect master mentioned Junior Brother Ye should visit the Xuantian Holy Land if he had the time; he might be staying there lately.”

This person is one of the eight peak masters of the Xuantian Sect, Cangjian Peak Master!
