Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 438

“Sect, Sect Master, what’s going on here…” An elder bravely ventured, treading carefully.

Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign was enveloped in a terrifying aura, his enraged face exceptionally fearsome. He squeezed out a phrase through gritted teeth, “Just now, my son died!”

“What?!”

Everyone was instantly shocked, struggling to believe this explosive news.

They knew how much their sect master adored Su Huoling, treating her like the apple of his eye.

After all, Su Huoling had shown extraordinary talent right from the womb. Once she was born, her cultivation speed was unheard of, shaking countless disciples of various sects to their core.

Unfortunately, this mischievous kid had a volatile temper, often causing chaos in the sect, riding on her identity.

But her talent was blindingly bright; everyone knew that if she continued to grow, she could surpass her father one day and even achieve the rank of Immortal Emperor!

Because of this, Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign indulged her immensely, rarely scolding or punishing her. Even if she committed heinous acts, she’d simply be sent to contemplate her actions for a few months.

But now…

Under such strong protection, Su Huoling had actually died?!

Thinking about the consequences of this, the elders couldn’t help but break into a sweat, kneeling on the ground, trembling, their throats dry.

At this moment, words could hardly describe the grief of Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign.

The death of his precious son felt like a knife twisting in his heart, bloodied and raw.

It hurt, it hurt too much!

So much that he could barely breathe!

That was his family’s prodigy, the future hope of the Lihuo Immortal Sect!

Forget about surpassing him; it was even possible that she could achieve the title of Immortal Emperor!

Little did they know, a generation’s supreme talent had been snuffed out just like that!

Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign gritted his teeth against his pain and began deducing the signs leading up to Su Huoling’s death.

He was actually aware of her rebellious escapade, sneaking out. The reason he hadn’t rushed to bring her back was mainly to avoid deepening their conflicts.

Besides, the place Su Huoling went was inhabited by cultivators of a generally low realm, and with the power he had sealed, even an Immortal Emperor would find it hard to threaten her.

In terms of safety, there was absolutely no problem!

Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign had thought that whenever Su Huoling got bored, would be the perfect time to bring her back.

As for the innocent lives lost because of her, to him, they were merely insignificant ants.

Before their deaths, to become the outlet for his child’s anger was already the greatest honor of their lives.

But the question was, who had the ability to kill his child in that remote place?

As he deduced, he saw blurry images — Jiuyang Stronghold, the forces from Wanjian City, and finally, a massive golden hand that blocked out the sky, exuding overwhelming pressure!

Until that hand reached down, the vision shattered!

In that instant, Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign seemed to hear the desperate scream of his child, causing his heart to convulse violently.

“Who is the master of that big hand?”

Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign’s eyes gleamed with murderous intent, faintly detecting the scent of a conspiracy.

He began to suspect that perhaps another Immortal Sovereign had secretly set their sights on Su Huoling during her outings, eliminating potential threats.

However, regarding the child’s prodigious talent, he had long commanded that the Lihuo Immortal Sect keep it confidential, ensuring that the outside world remained unaware. When Su Huoling left, he personally masked all the heavenly mechanisms, making it difficult for even Immortal Sovereigns to trace her whereabouts.

As far as he was concerned, he had done an excellent job of maintaining secrecy; there was no possibility of being targeted by enemies!

So, where exactly had the problem arisen that brought forth such terrifying slaughter?

Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign was utterly perplexed, feeling this matter was very strange, shrouded in a veil of fog.

He couldn’t even fathom that it was all just a mere afterthought of someone…

“Regardless, I must go personally. If I don’t get the results I want, all the beings in that place will pay for my child’s death!”

As this thought flickered through his mind, Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign’s eyes erupted with a chilling brilliance, radiating the dreadful pressure belonging to an Immortal Sovereign.

In the next second, he vanished from his spot, reappearing leagues away.

He headed straight to the neighboring Yusheng Domain!

Boom…

The sun and moon darkened, the heavens broke, and the earth quaked.

As Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign didn’t bother concealing his overwhelming aura, the powerful beings of the Ancient Luo Domain were struck with fear, wondering why the sect master of Lihuo Immortal Sect was enraged.

After all, he was an Immortal Sovereign!

If such a prominent figure of the heavenly path were to get angry, the consequences would be unbearable for ordinary folk.

Many could already predict the rampant slaughter that Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign’s visit would unleash.

……

Wanjian City.

Ye Junlin strolled leisurely down the street with his hands behind his back, taking a keen interest in the fresh sights around him.

Canglang Jun followed behind like a servant, keeping his head lowered.

Anyone unaware might think he was just a young nobleman out for a stroll, with his servant in tow!

The street was wide, lined with shops, bustling with people, full of vitality.

It was evident that this ancient city was quite prosperous.

Suddenly.

A man dressed in a blue robe with a slightly shifty appearance, sitting at a stall, was stroking his beard and pretending to be mysterious, loudly proclaimed:

“Divine divination to attract prosperity and avert disaster, no fee if it doesn’t work. I am Tianjizi, the sole successor of the Divine Mechanism Sect. Miss this chance, and it won’t come again!”

However, the cultivators passing by showed little interest, some even casting scornful glances at him.

Tianjizi pretended not to care on the surface, but internally he cursed his luck.

Damn, today was just too unlucky, not a single client!

At that moment, he spotted a striking silver-haired figure amidst the crowd.

That aura, that charisma, was certainly something he hadn’t seen before.

“Could it be some noble young master here for sightseeing?”

Thinking this, Tianjizi quickly made his move, wearing a warm smile. “I’m Tianjizi; would you like me to do a divination for you, young master? No fee if it doesn’t work, but if it does, do give a little something!”

Canglang Jun frowned, about to tell this con artist to scram, but Ye Junlin seemed mildly interested, chuckling,

“Alright, do a divination for me. What will happen to me next?”

“Alright!”

Tianjizi was ecstatic; young masters like this were usually easy to talk to.

Then, he asked for Ye Junlin’s birthdate and time, closed his eyes, and began his calculations, exuding an aura of profound mystery.

“Hmm?”

Canglang Jun initially thought the guy was a fraud, but upon seeing this, his heart hit a sudden stop.

“It seems there’s something to this,” Ye Junlin stroked his chin, scanning him closely.

He vaguely sensed that this man was not as simple as he appeared.

Gradually, beads of sweat began to trickle down Tianjizi’s forehead, his eyelids fluttering as horrifying images surfaced in his mind.

“Wow!”

Finally, Tianjizi suddenly opened his eyes, spitting out a mouthful of blood, clutching his chest as he stumbled to the ground.

He stared in disbelief at Ye Junlin, trembling as he extended a finger,

“You… you have a calamity of blood impending…”
