Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 412

At the same time.

Ye Junlin was swiftly weaving through the Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountains with the female Butterfly Immortal.

Wherever they passed, the scene resembled a Jurassic world, with dense jungles and wide rivers, and all sorts of unknown flying creatures and beasts filling the air with a vibrant, wild, and uncivilized atmosphere.

“How much further to your tribe?” Ye Junlin asked Axiang.

Axiang quickly replied, “Reporting to Senior, we still need to head southeast and cross over thirty-five thousand Immortal Mountains.”

“That’s quite a distance.”

Ye Junlin frowned.

It was his first time venturing deep into this area, giving him a more intuitive sense of the Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountains.

No exaggeration, even the smallest Immortal Mountain here could encompass the entire Blue Star from his past life!

And there were a whopping one hundred thousand Immortal Mountains! It was easy to see just how vast the overall area was—a veritable treasure trove, comparable to countless small worlds!

“We need to pick up the pace.”

Ye Junlin thought to himself.

Boom!

A massive wave of energy erupted behind them, and Ye Junlin pulled Axiang’s arm as they sped forward.

Swish, swish, swish~

In an instant, the surroundings blurred wildly, making it hard to distinguish between reality and illusion.

“Ah…” Axiang gasped in surprise.

This speed was something she’d never experienced before; it felt like her soul was about to leave her body.

Before long, they were nearing the Butterfly Immortal Tribe.

As they looked out, the massive tribe was heavily guarded by warriors, mainly male Butterfly Immortals standing with spears, while female Butterfly Immortals patrolled in teams.

“Senior, can you really keep your promise and spare our Ya Mie Die lineage?” Axiang asked anxiously.

Ye Junlin wore a friendly smile that made him seem very approachable, saying, “Don’t worry, my word is my bond.”

After all, this was the Ya Mie Die!

What a uniquely island-themed name!

Every time Ye Junlin mentioned those three characters, he couldn’t help but recall the glorious days when he was enjoying various island works…

So, he was willing to preserve this unique lineage, allowing the Ya Mie Die to continue their existence in this world!

“That’s good.”

Axiang let out a sigh of relief, patting her chest, but suddenly thought of something and tentatively asked, “What about the Wo Neng Die…”

“No way!”

Ye Junlin cut her off without hesitation, his tone decisive: “They must die!”

Feeling a strong killing intent, Axiang’s face turned pale, and she quickly closed her mouth in understanding.

For some reason, she always felt that this young man held an inexplicable prejudice against the Wo Neng Die.

What was wrong with the Wo Neng Die?

Did they deserve to die?

She couldn’t make sense of it…

Deep within the tribe, atop a high, cylindrical altar, a withered and old figure sat quietly.

A middle-aged man with butterfly wings and a crown kneels devotedly, saying:

“Great Guardian Spirit, the Heaven Source Crystals you required, we have gathered them this month! Please take a look!”

As he spoke, he waved his large hand, causing countless crystal stones, the size of fingernails, to stack neatly before the altar.

“May the Guardian Spirit bless my clan for eternity!”

The male clan leader called out.

Behind him, many male Butterfly Immortals knelt in worship, their eyes filled with zeal, shouting:

“The power of the Guardian Spirit is boundless!”

The echo resonated for miles, causing birds and beasts to scatter.

The withered old man slowly opened his eyes. Strangely, there were no pupils—just a desolate gray.

The aura he radiated was incredibly ancient and profound, seeming like a divine being overlooking all living things, not to be contradicted.

Looking at the piles of Heaven Source Crystals before him, the withered old man’s expression changed slightly.

As one of the Four Chaotic Evil Spirits, the Elder of Heart Demon desperately wanted to use the Heaven Source Crystals to revive his decaying state.

Only by doing so could he continue to survive and avoid being devoured by the other three Chaotic Evil Spirits.

Indeed, the Four Chaotic Evil Spirits were not an ironclad alliance; the reason they coexisted in peace over the years was merely mutual restraint.

After all, they were邪念 severed by the Heavenly Dao and could strengthen themselves by devouring each other.

The Elder of Heart Demon was fully aware that his power was the weakest, so he was eager to regain his state and intimidate the other three Chaotic Evil Spirits.

Otherwise, all that awaited him was annihilation!

Amidst his swirling thoughts, the Elder of Heart Demon’s eyes flickered with a ghostly glow, and he began to open his mouth to consume the Heaven Source Crystals.

Buzz, buzz, buzz~

In no time, the pile of Heaven Source Crystals was all swallowed up, vanishing into thin air.

The Elder of Heart Demon’s state gradually rose, as if a terrifying ancient beast was slowly reviving.

A chilling aura blanketed the surroundings, causing the Butterfly Immortals to tremble with fear, feeling an overwhelming respect.

“Well done.”

The Elder of Heart Demon said dismissively.

The male clan leader was ecstatic, excitedly bowing his head to the ground, “Serving the great Guardian Spirit is our utmost honor!”

As if recalling past events, the Elder of Heart Demon said meaningfully:

“Back in the day, the Four Absolutes controlled the Kunlun Realm, forcing us to hide in this broken mountain—now the Four Absolutes are long gone, and the strongest ancient beings remain in the Immortal Realm. Old…”

“Leave aside those three guys; there are no rivals left!”

“As long as I recover my state and wait for the laws of heaven and earth to loosen their restrictions, I will undoubtedly ascend to the peak of Immortal Emperor!”

“At that time, all beings shall be my nourishment!”

The Four Chaotic Evil Spirits were born from the邪念 severed by the Heavenly Dao, and their method of becoming stronger was simple: continuously absorbing the death energy from the world, such as the disasters and tragedies that led to the suffering of living creatures, which were a great supplement for them.

If they succeeded, the Kunlun Realm would inevitably become a true breeding ground; whenever living things proliferated to a certain extent, they could unleash devastating catastrophes, crazily reaping lives to absorb death energy.

And so the cycle would continue, causing the entire cultivation civilization to struggle endlessly, with all cultivators trapped in their plight!

And as the instigators, the Chaotic Evil Spirits would be able to sit back and enjoy the fun of raising fish just to eat them!

Suddenly.

The Elder of Heart Demon sensed something, his tone turning cold: “What’s going on? How can there be cultivators intruding?!”

“Ah?”

The male clan leader was startled, suddenly lifting his head to hear noisy sounds coming from behind,

“Human Race, you dare trespass into our tribe!”

In the distance, above the jungle, a throng of butterfly warrior holding their spears surrounded the silver-haired youth in layers, completely blocking his escape.

Among them, a male Butterfly Immortal pointed at Axiang, shouting angrily, “You traitorous Butterfly, what’s your punishment?!”

“Xiang Jie, as a member of Ya Mie Die, do you want to bring shame upon your sisters?” another female Butterfly Immortal, realizing Axiang’s identity, said angrily.

“I, I…” Axiang was about to explain but hesitated, glancing at Ye Junlin, not daring to say more.

If Ye Junlin could defeat the Guardian Spirit, she would be the great heroine saving the Ya Mie Die, but if they lost, at least she’d have a chance to argue.

But at this critical moment, speaking up would only narrow her options, so it was best to stay silent and wait for the situation to unfold.

At this moment, Ye Junlin’s attention was entirely focused on the Elder of Heart Demon; he could sense a profound and chaotic strange aura emanating from him!

“This must be one of the Chaotic Evil Spirits.”

Ye Junlin’s eyes flashed, and a mocking smile curled at the corners of his mouth: “Next, let’s start with you.”
