Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 435

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the ascension task. Reward: Immortal Sovereign-level laws have been upgraded to thirty million!”

The next second, the system’s prompt echoed in his mind.

“Good thing my efforts paid off,” Ye Junlin couldn’t help but sigh.

Having thirty million Immortal Sovereign-level laws meant that once he broke through to Immortal Emperor, he could obtain the Immortal Path Crown of the Great Heaven position.

Absolutely leading the pack!

At this moment, if other Immortal Sovereigns heard this, they would undoubtedly spit blood in anger and unleash a tirade of insults at his shamelessness!

After all, most Immortal Sovereigns spend their lives struggling to break through the ten million law barrier, meaning they have no hope of ever becoming Immortal Emperors.

Only a small handful of Immortal Emperors can cultivate over ten million laws, initially qualifying them for the Immortal Emperor title.

As for breaking through twenty million laws, that would place them near the top of the Immortal Sovereign pyramid.

These few Immortal Sovereigns usually give up on further cultivation of law power and focus entirely on improving their cultivation level instead.

Because to reach thirty million laws is nearly impossible and incredibly difficult.

In any case, after breaking through to Immortal Emperor, possessing the Immortal Path Crown of the Middle Heaven position would already be enough for them.

Thus, successfully cultivating Immortal Sovereign-level laws to perfection is an unimaginable achievement for many Immortal Sovereigns!

Result.

Ye Junlin merely ascended once to the Immortal Realm, and his law quantity easily jumped to thirty million. How could this not make them envious?

They might even be feeling suicidal at this point!!

Meanwhile, Canglang Jun cautiously asked, “Senior Ye, what should we do next?”

Ye Junlin shrugged, nonchalantly replied, “What else can we do? Just take it one step at a time.”

“Ah, if only there was a kind-hearted person who could provide us with information about the Immortal Realm,” Canglang Jun sighed.

After all, having arrived in this strange territory, they now felt like headless flies, utterly clueless about where to go.

Suddenly.

In the distance on the horizon, several figures descended with radiant light, surrounding Ye Junlin and Canglang Jun, clearly intent on encircling them.

The leader, a Tall Man, had a fierce expression and sneered, “Hehe, I sensed some special energy fluctuations nearby earlier. I thought it might be ascenders from below, and turns out I was right!”

“Brother Biao, we can capture these two and take them to Jiuyang Stronghold as slaves to do our bidding!”

“Exactly! These newly ascended Cultivators are all weak True Immortals; they won’t stand a chance against us!”

The other bandits grinned maliciously.

Without a doubt, they were outlaws, often referred to as robbers in a sense.

Ye Junlin was speechless.

Is the Immortal Realm really this unfriendly to ascenders?

Right after arriving, they wanted to capture True Immortals as slaves?

Good thing I’m an Immortal Sovereign…

Canglang Jun looked oddly at them. These guys sure had sharp eyes; why pick them out of everyone to capture?

Isn’t this like stepping on a steel plate, especially one with spikes?!

“Little Dezi, you handle this,” Ye Junlin said lightly.

These robbers were mostly Profound Immortals at best; he didn’t want to waste his prestige to deal with them personally.

“Understood.”

Canglang Jun nodded seriously and then turned to look at the Tall Man and his crew, his eyes filled with pity and mockery.

“Damn it, you old geezer! What are you looking at? I’ll dig your eyes out!” the Tall Man shouted, furious.

Boom!

Just as the bandits were about to take action, a terrifying pressure erupted, enveloping them.

“Holy crap, an Immortal King?!!”

The group’s scalps nearly exploded in disbelief, their hearts racing in their chests.

Canglang Jun released his aura, directly dominating the Tall Man and his group.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom~

Under the fearsome pressure of a top-tier Immortal King, one True Immortal after another exploded into blood mist.

In the end, only the Profound Immortal Tall Man remained.

At this moment, he no longer had his previous arrogance. He was shaking all over, tears and snot flowing freely, his face a mask of terror, just like a mortal seeing a scary ghost.

At that moment, no exaggerated words could describe the Tall Man’s dreadful feelings.

He had initially thought they were weak True Immortals to bully, but they had revealed Immortal King-level powers.

It was like a little worm on the ground suddenly transforming into a soaring dragon!

Wait, you just ascended! How can you have such outrageous strength?!

If the Tall Man knew Ye Junlin’s identity as an Immortal Sovereign, far superior to countless Immortals, he might just faint from fear…

“Senior, spare me! I’m blind to your greatness!” the Tall Man cried, his heart in ruins.

“Where is this? Speak the truth!”

When Canglang Jun asked this imposing question, he seemed to think of something and chuckled meaningfully, “Look at me, I better just search for his soul directly.”

Then, he reached out and placed his hand on the Tall Man’s head.

Initiating the brutal soul-searching mode!

“Ah…” The Tall Man felt like his brain was being sucked out, his eyes rolling back as his body convulsed uncontrollably.

“Now I see, huh…” After mastering all the information, Canglang Jun flicked his sleeve in disgust, and the Tall Man was instantly reduced to ashes, vanishing into the air.

Through the soul search, Canglang Jun understood that this individual was heinously evil, enjoying the torture and killing of ordinary people, and was a major scourge to the locals, prompting him to eliminate him on the spot.

At the same time, he also gathered related information about the Immortal Realm.

“Little Dezi, what did you find out? Tell me!” Ye Junlin asked with great interest.

“Reporting to Senior Ye, the Immortal Realm is divided into five major immortal domains: North Cold Immortal Domain, South Heaven Immortal Domain, Dongsheng Immortal Domain, West Ze Immortal Domain, and Middle Earth Immortal Domain!”

“Each immortal domain comprises numerous large regions, and each large region is further subdivided into countless large states. Currently, we are in the North Cold Immortal Domain’s Yusheng Region, in Fak State!”

Upon hearing this.

Ye Junlin also learned about the new map.

Wait, Fak State?

That name’s something I can’t even comment on!

“As for the bandits that attacked us, they are from Jiuyang Stronghold, which is located over a thousand miles to the northwest, and their leader is an Immortal Sovereign level figure,” Canglang Jun reported honestly.

“An Immortal Sovereign, huh?” Ye Junlin clicked his tongue.

Any True Immortal fresh off ascension would be scared out of their wits by the name of an Immortal Sovereign since, compared to such figures, True Immortals were like specks of dust.

Too bad he was an Immortal Sovereign!

“Forget it, this kind of faction is obviously up to no good. Since I’m new here, I’ll give the people of Fak State a proper welcome gift.”

…

Far away in the majestic mountain ranges, an imposing stronghold stood tall.

This was the infamous Jiuyang Stronghold!

At this moment, the stronghold was filled with cries of anger and violence.

“The lord of Wanjian City is bullying us too much and wants to send troops to attack Jiuyang Stronghold!”

“Do they really think we’ll just sit and take it?”

“Let’s fight them! Fight!”

Looking around, an overwhelming number of robbers were in a rage, each holding their magical treasures, ready for a big showdown.

“Shut up!”

At the highest point, a Middle-aged Man, as sturdy as a tower, shouted, his veins bulging on his forehead.

The place fell silent in an instant.

This man was the deputy leader, second only to the stronghold’s chief, and handled all the major affairs.

“What are you clamoring about? The chief is in closed-door meditation, trying to break through to the next realm! If there’s even the slightest mistake, we won’t be able to bear the consequences!”

Vice Leader Lu Guan’s expression darkened, his gaze fierce.

Upon hearing this, they remembered that little devil and felt instantly silenced in fear.

Lu Guan couldn’t help but glance at the chief’s throne, his mood exceptionally complicated.

Actually, prior to this, he was the chief of Jiuyang Stronghold. But ever since that brat showed up, everything changed.

That kid appeared young but was more powerful than him, and had a fiery, unpredictable temperament; he’d kill at the drop of a hat.

On this, Lu Guan silently lamented, feeling as though he was accompanying a tiger.

Fortunately, that kid was incredibly strong and quickly swept through the other strongholds, unifying the robber factions in Fak State.

This made Jiuyang Stronghold reach its peak!

During this time, Lu Guan had been both happy and pained.

Though he was thrilled to witness his stronghold grow to such a height, the downside was that he had to serve that brat very cautiously every day, like a servant.

Now, the local powerhouse, Wanjian City, viewed Jiuyang Stronghold’s rapid growth as a threat and had organized an elite team in the past few days to come and attack.

Rumor had it that the one leading the charge was the daughter of Wanjian City’s lord, who had returned from training in a major sect, specifically coming to deal with local bandit problems.

“Report!”

A loud call came from outside.

“What is it? Speak!” Lu Guan replied coldly.

“A scout reports that the woman leading the Wanjian City team is likely an Immortal… an Immortal King!” The subordinate’s eyes were filled with fear as he relayed this.

“What?!”

Lu Guan’s expression changed drastically, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

An Immortal… an Immortal King?

Fak State is just a small place within the Yusheng Region; an Immortal Sovereign-level figure could dominate here alone.

If it’s an Immortal King, it’s like a true dragon suddenly emerging from a pond!

However, the daughter of Wanjian City’s lord is suspected to possess Immortal King strength; this would be a catastrophe for Jiuyang Stronghold!

In an instant.

Everyone’s faces turned ashen, and their fighting spirit vanished.

“Is Jiuyang Stronghold really going to face annihilation?” Lu Guan muttered in despair.

Boom!

Just then.

In the innermost cave of Jiuyang Stronghold, an astonishing and terrifying aura erupted, accompanied by the wicked laughter of the brat, echoing across the mountain range.

“Yoo-hoo! I’ve made it!”
