Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 445

Indeed, Luo Qingwu’s tactics are quite special, and her strength is formidable, but in the face of the Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign, who wields tens of thousands of laws, she’s ultimately just a step behind in this game.

However, to have fought to this extent, she truly deserves the title of the strongest Immortal Emperor.

“You damn mutt, if you have the guts, just kill me!” Luo Qingwu gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with disdain.

The Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign snorted coldly, “Killing you brings me no benefit, but if I capture you and take you back to the Lihuo Immortal Sect, that will be a guaranteed profit!”

“Blame yourself, you foolish woman, for not recognizing good fortune. You insist on opposing me just for that pitiful group of lowly ants beneath your feet!”

“Grass, that tiny brat of yours deserves to be killed!” Luo Qingwu shot back furiously.

“What did you say?!”

The Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign’s forehead bulged with veins as he tightened his grip.

In an instant, Luo Qingwu felt as if her entire body was being squeezed mercilessly, her bones creaking, her organs nearly shattering, and a tremendous pain overwhelming her senses.

“Ugh…”

Sweat poured down from Luo Qingwu’s forehead, her eyes fixed fiercely on the Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign, seemingly determined to fight till death.

Taking in the expression of her opponent, the Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign revealed a sinister smile: “I know what you’re thinking. Once I torment you to the brink of despair and cultivate your heart demons, then destroy your foundation, you’ll never have the chance to break through to Immortal Sovereign again. At that point, how will you talk of revenge?”

After all, Luo Qingwu’s talent is extremely monstrous. Just because she can’t defeat him now doesn’t mean she couldn’t in the future. If she breaks through to Immortal Sovereign someday, this slight advantage of his would vanish.

With his vindictive nature, the Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign would definitely seek revenge, so if he captured Luo Qingwu, he’d undoubtedly resort to some petty tricks to render her useless.

“Crap… you… mom…” Luo Qingwu struggled to spit out these words through gritted teeth, representing her current inner attitude.

The Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign’s mouth twitched, his expression dark. “How vulgar!”

“Master!”

At this moment, Tang Yaoyao was on the verge of tears, her heart racing.

She, being weak, could only watch helplessly.

“Luo Goddess is like this because of us! How can we, such insignificant characters, deserve this!”

A group of cultivators were heartbroken and terrified of imminent death.

To everyone, even the peerless Luo Qingwu had been defeated, so what fate awaited Wanjian City? It could only be annihilated.

Suddenly, just as the Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign prepared to annihilate Wanjian City, a streak of golden light shot up like a meteor, shattering the flaming grip that held Luo Qingwu tightly!

“Who is it?!”

The Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign instinctively sensed something, his eyes filled with astonishment.

“I am the one you’ve been searching for.” A calm young man in black descended, his long white hair flowing elegantly, a playful smile on his lips.

“It’s you who killed my son!!” The moment the culprit appeared, the Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign’s eyes turned bloodshot with rage.

No wonder that streak of golden light felt so familiar; it matched the aura of the golden hand that had killed his son!

“How could it be you?!”

Luo Qingwu, feeling much more at ease, was shocked upon seeing the familiar silver-haired figure.

“It’s that young master!” Tang Yaoyao exclaimed, her eyes widening in disbelief as she covered her lips with her hand.

In that moment, Ye Junlin swaggered up, hands clasped behind his back, meeting the Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign from a distance like it was a casual stroll.

“Dude! You did it, and I’m taking the heat for it? You just sat back and watched me get pummeled like that!” Luo Qingwu snapped back to reality, indignantly.

Ye Junlin chuckled lightly, “You should change your perspective. This beating was just your way of paying off your debt for the meal; we’re square now.”

In response, Luo Qingwu confidently retorted, “But my beauty has already paid!”

Ye Junlin: “…”

C’mon, let’s not be that shameless here!

“No grievances or grudges, why did you take murderous action against my son? Or did my Su family provoke you in some way?” The Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign wished to clarify before starting a fight.

“Well, how to put it… ”

Ye Junlin pondered briefly and stated seriously, “Blame yourself for providing such poor guidance and allowing your child to engage in wicked deeds.”

“I casually eliminated that stronghold, and your brat just happened to be there—it’s fate and karma at play!”

“As they say, every cause must have an effect; the consequence for you two is me!”

“Let’s hear the applause!”

With that, the entire venue fell into silence.

“Well said!” Canglang Jun was the first to break the silence, clapping heartily while standing out from the crowd.

Feeling the strange looks directed at him, Canglang Jun muttered quietly, “What are you staring at? Never seen someone here to support, huh?”

Hearing this explanation, the Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign felt it was extremely ridiculous.

For Su Huoling’s death, he had various speculations earlier, thinking it might be a meticulously plotted scheme.

He never expected the truth to be this simple!

It was just a matter of casually wiping out Jiuyang Stronghold, and his son just happened to be there, becoming collateral damage!

The Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign couldn’t accept this fact, his heart aching to the point he could hardly breathe.

“You… must pay with your life for my son’s death today!!”

“Die!!”

His anger reached its peak, exploding forth as he roared like a beast with his head full of wild red hair.

This time, he wielded all his strength without reservation, unleashing the Lihuo Immortal Sect’s ultimate move, Lihuo Absolute Flame.

Boom!

In an instant, the entire sky turned a dark red, filled with the violent air of destruction.

Flames, like colossal waves, surged to form a canopy, infused with the power of millions of laws, accompanied by a terrifying force capable of burning the heavens, crashing down toward Ye Junlin.

The pressure was overwhelming, as if the sea was coming down hard, making it hard to breathe.

“Hey, you good?” Luo Qingwu asked, her scalp tingling.

“A man can’t say he can’t do it,” Ye Junlin replied calmly.

With that, he summoned his strength and punched out into the void.

At the same time, his aura soared rapidly, rising from the First Heaven of Immortal Sovereign to the Fifth Heaven!

This was the passive effect of the system that grew stronger in the face of a strong opponent!

Moreover, Ye Junlin’s punch was powered by a full thirty million laws of the Immortal Sovereign level—its impact instantaneously maxed out with absolute explosive damage!

Boom!!!

The massive golden fist imprint shattered the Lihuo Absolute Flame, sending out countless intersecting golden energy ripples, creating an incredibly shocking visual effect.

“Impossible?!”

The Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign was taken aback, his eyes nearly popping out, his mouth agape as if witnessing the most terrifying scene of his life.

It was one thing that the opponent had a higher cultivation level, but the sheer number of laws—thirty million—was nothing short of horrifying!

That’s a staggering thirty million laws of the Immortal Sovereign level!!

What does that even mean?

This young man before him not only had the qualifications to become an Immortal Emperor but could also potentially gather the Immortal Path Crown at the Great Heaven position in the future!

This indicated that once he became an Immortal Emperor, he would be at the peak!

Compared to him, the Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign was like a mudfish compared to a mighty dragon!

“Who… who the hell are you?! How could someone like you exist in the North Cold Immortal Domain?!” The Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign’s scalp felt as if it would explode from pressure, his voice breaking.

Suddenly.

The enormous golden fist was right in front of him, the terrifying pressure paralyzing the Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign, freezing the blood in his veins, making it almost impossible to mobilize his Immortal Power, trapping him in a state of stagnation.

Fear and despair filled his heart, along with a deep shock at this absolute power!

This was a sensation he had never felt since he started his journey!

Like a frog at the bottom of a well, lifting its head to see the sun and moon!

He felt extraordinarily small!

“Ah…”

A scream echoed, resounding through the skies.

And then, it abruptly cut off.

The Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign was crushed to smithereens by a single punch, with no chance for resistance at all.

His physical body shattered, divine soul extinguished—dead beyond any hope!

“Eh? That was too easy to break,” Ye Junlin withdrew his fist, looking at the empty space ahead with disdain.

If the deceased Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign could hear him, he would probably jump back to life from anger.

Not to mention Ye Junlin having Nine-Grade Immortal Power; just with those thirty million Immortal Sovereign-level laws alone, the overwhelming effect of qualitative change caused by sheer quantity meant that with just one attack at this level, it was incredibly terrifying.

Thus, the Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign’s death was utterly unjustifiable!

At this moment.

Wanjian City fell into an eerie silence.

Countless cultivators stared blankly, their expressions identical.

The leader of the Lihuo Immortal Sect, the most powerful being in the Ancient Luo Domain, just like that, was killed with one punch?!

That was an Immortal Sovereign!

When did killing an Immortal Sovereign become this easy?

Luo Qingwu’s pupils contracted sharply, her face filled with disbelief.

In her mind, it should have taken a fierce battle to determine the victor.

But Ye Junlin’s punch had directly shattered her perception.

Such a powerhouse as the Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign had fallen without even a struggle!

One must know, the higher the realm, the harder it is to kill someone. Even the ancestor of her sect behind her couldn’t do something like killing the Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign with a single punch.

This was utterly insane!

“What’s wrong? You look surprised?” Ye Junlin turned around, catching Luo Qingwu’s expression, teasing her.

Snapped back to reality, Luo Qingwu gritted her teeth and asked, “Who are you?! I’ve never heard your name in the North Cold Immortal Domain!”

She felt that this silver-haired young man was too powerful to have not left a mark in the North Cold Immortal Domain.

Either he had crossed over from another Immortal Domain, that was a possibility!

Ye Junlin shook his head, “I’m Ye Junlin, from the Kunlun Realm.”

“Ye Junlin?”

Luo Qingwu fell into deep thought, recalling that she had never heard the name in the Immortal Realm, suddenly she remembered something, her face filled with shock as she pointed at Ye Junlin,

“You… you said you’re from the Kunlun Realm? Are you certain?”

Ye Junlin found her reaction hilarious, nodding, “Sure, just ascended today.”

Upon hearing this.

Luo Qingwu felt like she had been struck by lightning, her head buzzing, rendered completely motionless like a clay statue.

Am I just out of touch with the times?

A cultivator who ascended from the lower realm is actually already an Immortal Sovereign?!

Am I Luo Qingwu going crazy, or is this world going mad?
