Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 430

“Ah? So it’s you!” Long Ao Tian’s expression darkened. No wonder the sounds from the courtyard sounded a bit familiar.

What do you mean I was begging for mercy after you beat me? You really know how to flatter yourself!

Recalling the terror of this Dragon Race powerhouse, the little donkey felt a shiver down its spine.

An Immortal-level being with a Ten-Grade Immortal Wheel—this was a level it could only glance at from afar!

Unless it could return to its peak cultivation level, it was genuinely no match for the opponent at the Immortal Emperor realm.

The most absurd part? It just had to run its mouth right when it encountered him.

What a coincidence!

So embarrassing!

“Wait a minute, why should I be afraid of him in this courtyard?”

The little donkey suddenly realized, grinning with a rather wild smile.

“Hey, you junior! Are you talking to me like that? Do you believe I’ll show you some colors?!”

Seeing this, Long Ao Tian couldn’t believe it—this cowardly donkey actually grew some spine?

Before, it had begged for mercy, cried its eyes out, and slipped away the moment he wasn’t looking.

It ran.

He chased.

Who would’ve thought, this guy’s escape skills were top-notch, even a powerhouse of his level lost track of it.

Now, seeing this creature again—not only was it unafraid but it even spoke recklessly to him, which made Long Ao Tian extremely furious.

“Brat, I think this shameless donkey is itching for a beating!”

Enraged, Long Ao Tian rushed over, swinging his fist to smash towards the little donkey. Yet the little donkey, showing disdain, raised its hooves and kicked out fiercely.

“Ugh!”

Right in the gut, Long Ao Tian stumbled back several steps, nearly falling to the ground.

At this moment, he was both shocked and angry, while also feeling a sense of panic—his power simply wouldn’t come out.

Here in this courtyard, he was just an ordinary person!

“Son, son, shocked, aren’t you? This is the donkey sovereign’s turf, and you, an outsider, think you can turn things upside down?”

Having landed a hit, the little donkey felt a surge of confidence, reveling in a feeling of a small person achieving success.

“Damn it, if you have the guts, come out and fight me!” Long Ao Tian quickly ran outside the courtyard, standing outside and shouting angrily.

“Come come come.”

The little donkey swaggered out the main gate, then hurriedly jumped back in, then hopped out again, saying in a cheeky tone, “Hey, I’m out, hey, I’m back in, hey, I’m out again, hey, I’m back in…”

It kept bouncing back and forth, just for the thrill!

“Ah…” Long Ao Tian’s eyes reddened, fuming to the point of smoke coming out of his ears, his whole body trembling.

“You should just get out.” Even Ye Junlin couldn’t stand the little donkey’s antics, directly kicking it out of the door, and even kindly closed the courtyard door.

The little donkey, kicked outside, was still in a daze.

It stiffly turned to look at the closed door, then stiffly turned back to face the furious Long Ao Tian.

Inside, there were a million angry llamas marching through its mind.

“Uh, that was just a joke! You’re so tall and handsome, I thought you wouldn’t mind, right?”

“Hehe, what do you think?!”

Long Ao Tian’s smile gradually turned twisted, swearing to thoroughly ravage this ungrateful donkey.

“Hey, hey, don’t come over here! Island Master, save me!!!”

The door was knocked on frantically, and then fell into silence. It’s hard to imagine what kind of beating the little donkey was about to face.

Inside the courtyard.

Ye Junlin was chatting with other beings, learning more about the courtyard.

“As you can see, we are all guardians, the strongest force reserved for all of Fallen Immortal Island.”

The old hen said earnestly, “But due to the restrictions of the laws, our cultivation cannot fully recover yet; to go out, we need Miss Liu’s permission.”

“Miss Liu?”

Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow.

Who is this Miss Liu? Such a high status in the courtyard?

“It’s me.”

In the next moment, a very ethereal female voice came from the corner where the willows stood, possessing a tranquil power.

“So, you are the strongest guardian in the entire courtyard.” Looking at the familiar willow, Ye Junlin was somewhat amazed.

Because while he was in the courtyard, the willow had remained completely still, acting inconspicuous, so he had habitually overlooked it.

“Island Master Ye, I am truly surprised at your current cultivation level. This breakthrough speed is unprecedented.”

“And you can even disregard the laws of heaven and earth to reach the Immortal Sovereign realm, which further proves that you are indeed the fabled favored one of the heavenly path. No wonder you could obtain the inheritance of Fallen Immortal Island and become the second island master.”

When saying this, the willow’s tone was nearly unable to remain calm.

“Favored one of the heavenly path?”

Ye Junlin looked strange, feeling that the other party must have misunderstood something.

But it didn’t matter; he wouldn’t explain anyway.

“Island Master Ye, if you reach the Immortal Emperor realm in the future, you will be able to unlock all the permissions of Fallen Immortal Island and truly unleash the strongest power of this space magical treasure.”

Then, the willow revealed a secret.

“Oh?”

Ye Junlin became interested—there’s more to play with this thing?

Sounds good, very much looking forward to it!

Then he thought of something, glancing at the group of golden koi in the pond, meaningfully saying, “If I’m not mistaken, you guys are a branch of the Golden Dragon Tribe that was banished back in the day, right?”

Upon hearing this, the koi that had been blowing bubbles in the pond suddenly stopped, their eyes wide open, staring at Ye Junlin in disbelief.

“Whoa, I didn’t expect this embarrassing thing would even be known to you, Island Master Ye.”

A long-bearded old koi, swimming at the front, sighed, “That’s right. My daughter made a big mistake back then, causing the Golden Dragon Tribe to lose face, leading to our clan’s banishment. It was Liu Taishang who stepped in to protect us so that we could survive until now.”

This elder was the former elder of the Golden Dragon Tribe.

His daughter was none other than Long Ao Tian’s mother!

Ye Junlin nodded, “Sure enough, wait a moment.”

Then, he opened the courtyard door, and a nearly disfigured little donkey rushed in wailing, collapsing on the ground and gasping for air.

“Finally, finally survived…”

The little donkey said with tears streaming down its face.

“Hmph, lucky you!” Long Ao Tian huffed.

If it weren’t for his severely depleted energy, and he could only unleash half his strength, the little donkey’s fate would definitely be worse.

“Hehe, you fool donkey got what was coming! That’s the price for your big talk.” The old hen was feeling quite pleased, mocking.

“You old hen, you’ll get caught and turned into soup sooner or later!” The little donkey retorted indignantly.

No sooner had it spoken than it received a sharp peck, making it howl in pain on the ground.

Watching this farce unfold, Ye Junlin said with some annoyance, “Alright, everyone be quiet.”

Once the island master spoke, the courtyard fell into complete silence.

“Little Dragon, come over here and see if they recognize you,” Ye Junlin called Long Ao Tian over, pointing towards the pond.

Long Ao Tian felt puzzled but still came to the pond, staring at the large group of golden koi, struck dumb in an instant, his head buzzing.

For in his eyes, that was not merely a bunch of koi, but a horde of soaring Five-Clawed Golden Dragons!

You see, in Long Ao Tian’s bones, he was very proud, primarily because he was of the Dragon Clan.

He also understood how high the status of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon was within the Dragon Clan; it was known as the most powerful tribe.

But he never imagined that this seemingly ordinary pond actually held the most noble Five-Clawed Golden Dragons!

Undoubtedly, this scene shattered Long Ao Tian’s perception.

“Child, why does the bloodline within you feel so familiar? Are you, could it be that you are my…”

The leading old koi sensed something, gazing at Long Ao Tian in disbelief and blurted out:

“Grandson!!!”
