Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 417

As the outer world fell into chaos, Ye Junlin quickly approached the Ghost Eye Tribe, following the directions he was given.

The atmosphere in the Ghost Eye Tribe was quite gloomy because they had just received a frontline battle report. A mysterious woman in a plain dress had appeared and chanted spells to break their eye techniques, which rendered the large group of tribal warriors they had dispatched completely powerless, leading to a bloodbath.

At the altar, the Old Clan Leader was reporting the situation to the Guardian Spirit.

The Guardian Spirit worshiped by the Ghost Eye Tribe was a terrifying child with dark blue skin, dressed in a funeral shroud.

An evil, bizarre aura surrounded it—normal powerful beings would immediately fall into madness, self-harming or seeking death if they got too close!

“Are you telling me that there’s a human woman outside who can undo the eye techniques I bestowed upon you?”

A sharp, distorted voice echoed.

The evil spirit child sat cross-legged in the center of the altar, its eyes revealing doubt.

It was quite surprised by this news!

“I recall that the wretched woman who defeated me back in the day also muttered a strange incantation, allowing her to steady her mind and avoid being affected by my powers!”

The evil spirit child’s mind drifted back to an extremely distant time, as the image of the Empress Fuyao who dominated all still left it feeling dread and chills down its spine.

“No way, it can’t be her. That wretched woman had already fought many saints from the Nine Nether camp and ultimately self-destructed deep in the starry sky…”

Thinking of this, the evil child’s blood-red eyes burst with fierce light, and its ugly little face twisted into a particularly sinister expression.

All these years later, it still remembered the humiliation of that crushing defeat; it was the biggest disgrace of its life.

Fortunately, the enemy was already dead and had no chance of revival.

But the question was, who was that mysterious woman?

After a lot of thinking, the evil spirit considered the possibility that the other party was a successor of Empress Fuyao.

If that were the case, it made sense.

“Hmph, Fuyao, I didn’t expect you to still have a backup, trying to train an heir to restore the glory of the Kunlun Realm.”

“Unfortunately, that little girl will absolutely never grow up.”

“I will find your disciple and return to her the pain you inflicted on me a thousandfold!”

“I’ll make her wish she could live but can’t, wish she could die but can’t, ultimately turning her into a punching bag for the whole tribe, hehehe…”

A chilling, shrill laughter came from the evil spirit child, sounding exceedingly sinister.

“Lord Guardian Spirit, are you going to take action yourself?” the Clan Leader of the Ghost Eye Tribe exclaimed in surprise.

In his eyes, the Guardian Spirit was a godly existence.

Just think, if even a deity took action personally, what chance would those despicable rebels have to win?

“This time is special; I have to go myself!” The evil spirit child stood up, its mouth curling into a profound smile.

It couldn’t wait to capture that enemy’s disciple and torture and humiliate her thoroughly.

Then, the evil spirit vanished from the altar, reappearing a million miles away.

“Hmm? That little thing is trying to run away?”

Sensing a weird aura flash past, Ye Junlin narrowed his eyes and quickly set off in pursuit.

At that moment.

Just as the evil child was about to accelerate over the Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountains, it suddenly felt an astonishing aura firmly locking onto it from behind.

“Who?!”

The evil child’s hair stood on end as it furiously turned around.

There stood a young man who had torn through the void—his silver hair billowing, radiating a suave and ethereal aura, with a handsome face and a playful look in his eyes.

“Hello.”

Ye Junlin greeted cheerfully, seemingly devoid of hostility, carrying a friendly demeanor.

“Who are you? How dare you follow me?!”

The evil child showed a fierce expression, baring its sharp teeth.

For some reason, the moment this young man appeared, a warning instinct surged within it.

As if to remind it that this was an exceptionally dangerous individual!

What it didn’t know was that one of its kind had just been killed by this very person not long ago.

So sad…

“I am Ye Junlin, the current leader of the Immortal Dao Alliance,” Ye Junlin said with a smile.

“Leader of the Immortal Alliance?!”

Upon hearing this title, the evil child’s expression changed immediately.

Anyone born in ancient times knew what the Immortal Alliance represented.

Even a force like Emperor Tian would have been surrounded and beaten by the other three great powers when he tried to set up the alliance himself back then, forced to abandon the idea.

And in this era, someone actually claimed to be the leader of the Immortal Alliance?

The evil child scrutinized Ye Junlin with a mocking tone, “I don’t care if you’re real or fake. You come knocking on my door—are you trying to persuade me not to interfere in the outer world’s disputes?”

“If that’s the case, then you’re in for a disappointment!”

Having the title of an Immortal Alliance leader was not something that could scare it into submission.

“Kid, you misunderstand. I’m actually here to kill you. Out of respect for the elderly and love for the young, I’ll allow you to make a final statement. Anything you want to say?”

Ye Junlin’s smile remained, giving an impression of springtime warmth.

The evil child: “?”

The next second, its teeth ground together, furious enough to sprout black smoke from its head.

This guy is so shameless!?

I am a legendary Chaotic Evil Spirit! You think you can just kill me at will?

“Human, you will pay for your words and actions!”

Furious, the evil child’s eyes locked onto Ye Junlin, its gaze filled with blood-colored fury, extremely creepy.

In an instant.

The world spun.

Ye Junlin felt dazed for a moment; his originally unfocused pupils suddenly sharpened as strands of terrifying Sword Intent began to swirl around him.

The Invincible Sword Heart was at work, obliterating the illusion the evil child was trying to cast on Ye Junlin!

“How can this be?!”

The evil child exclaimed in shock, realizing that its best move had failed.

Back when it fought Empress Fuyao, at least the opponent had to chant incantations to break its illusions—why was it failing now against this young man, with barely a moment’s delay?

“Hmm, there’s something there, but not much.”

Ye Junlin chuckled coldly as he extended his hand and slowly clenched his fist, which erupted with a brilliant radiance resembling a sun, surrounded by millions of laws of power, containing boundless might.

“Guess what? When I throw this punch, do you think you’ll die right away, or will you be half-alive?”

Seeing this.

The evil child’s eyes nearly popped out of its head, filled with disbelief.

What’s going on here?

This young man before me is actually exuding the aura of an Immortal Sovereign!?

“Impossible! How could the laws of the world allow an Immortal Sovereign to exist now? How did you do this?”

The evil child shrieked.

Remember, it was a Chaotic Evil Spirit, a being with some connection to the Heavenly Path, and couldn’t accomplish this!

“Maybe…”

Ye Junlin pretended to ponder, “It’s because I’m just too handsome!”

Hearing this answer, the evil child was furious to the point of spitting blood.

So damn full of himself!

“Don’t think you can win just because you have a cultivation advantage. Even if you are an Immortal Sovereign, I have the ability to kill!”

The evil child’s eyes hardened as it resolutely burned its life essence, erupting with rolling black smoke.

If it came to strength, it was way stronger than the Elder of Heart Demon!

“I’ll swallow you whole!”

In an instant, everything around Ye Junlin turned pitch black; what met his eyes was not a jungle or blue sky, but an expansive, pure black void, where thick liquid dripped down from the walls of flesh—extremely corrosive, as if he had stepped inside some monster’s belly.

“Ha ha ha, you fell for it; this is my Devouring Technique! Even if you’re the best of the Immortal Sovereigns, inside my little world, you’ll just obediently wait to be refined!”

Outside, the evil child laughed triumphantly, its small hands dancing around, looking utterly bizarre and ridiculous.
