Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 452

At this moment, the Withered Old Man, exposed for who he truly was, felt embarrassed inside, but what overshadowed that was a sense of panic and unease.

Because the Supreme Immortal Medicine he had kidnapped had a backing of an Immortal Sovereign!

This was equivalent to indirectly offending an Immortal Sovereign!

Thinking about what the other party had just said, the Withered Old Man started sweating profusely, already trembling with fear.

“F-Fellow Senior! I didn’t know he was your disciple! Please, for the sake of my ignorance, spare me! I’m willing to give everything I have to appease your anger!” the Withered Old Man pleaded.

“I gave you a chance; it’s your fault for not cherishing it. Who can you blame?” Ye Junlin shook his head and pointed a finger.

A golden finger beam sliced through like a sword, landing squarely on the Withered Old Man.

“Ah…”

The Withered Old Man screamed, his body exploding into a mist of blood, his divine soul obliterated.

Even in death, he could never comprehend how Ye Junlin had found him!

“Master!”

The sect members turned pale with fear, trembling uncontrollably.

“No way, the dignified Sect Leader of the Heaven-Sealing Sect was killed with a mere finger?!”

The cultivators gasped in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief as they looked at Ye Junlin.

That was an unparalleled Immortal Emperor, a well-known powerhouse in the Vast and Noble Domain, yet he had been killed with just a finger today?!

“He’s definitely an Immortal Sovereign!”

One of the cultivators reacted, speaking in terror.

“Hiss~”

Instantly, gasps of cold air filled the space.

Now, everything made sense.

“We actually hunted down the disciple of an Immortal Sovereign!” One elder from a sect looked ashen, filled with regret.

“It’s said that when an Immortal Sovereign is enraged, they can slaughter millions! I might even die here!” Another female cultivator trembled so much from fear that she soaked her skirt, dripping on the ground.

“Please spare me, honored one! I didn’t know he was your disciple! Please show mercy!” Someone with poor mental fortitude collapsed on the ground, crying out in despair.

At that moment, like a chain reaction, the surrounding powerful figures all fell to their knees, panic-stricken and begging:

“Please forgive our sins, honored one!!!”

Everywhere one looked, there were cultivators begging on the ground.

The title of Immortal Sovereign was too terrifying; even in the current Immortal Realm, it towered over countless Immortals like a giant mountain.

If the Immortal Emperor doesn’t intervene, the Immortal Sovereign is the strongest, capable of controlling the life and death of a large domain, a transcendent figure in the path of immortality.

As for escaping?

They never considered that!

After all, even an existence like the leader of the Heaven-Sealing Sect couldn’t withstand a single finger from the youth; running away would likely end in a worse fate!

So, begging for mercy right then and there was the most sensible option!

“Little Black, take this,” Ye Junlin handed the bag of holding to the Great Mushroom King.

Given his current realm, a mere Immortal Emperor’s artifact no longer caught his eye.

“Thank you, Master!”

The Great Mushroom King received the yellow cloth bag, a pleased expression crossing his face.

After all, he wasn’t good at fighting, and this magical treasure was quite useful.

“Senior Ye, how should we deal with those people?” Canglang Jun looked at the begging cultivators nearby and asked.

Ye Junlin pondered for a moment, “Death can be avoided, but living offenses cannot escape; they should sever an arm to show punishment.”

One thing for another; he personally killed the leader of the Heaven-Sealing Sect because the guy wanted to play dumb when he showed up, trying to pull a fast one.

As for the other cultivators involved in the hunt, they didn’t know the background of the Great Mushroom King; he could reluctantly spare their lives.

But punishment was still necessary!

“Thank you for your mercy, honored one!”

Upon hearing this, powerful figures representing various forces felt as if they had received a reprieve, tears of gratitude streaming down their faces.

For the Immortals present, severing an arm was nothing; after all, given some time, they could recover. They could control the force of their actions themselves.

Compared to losing their lives, this was much better!

Immediately, everyone scrambled to sever an arm, their faces contorted in pain as they gritted their teeth.

But when looking at Ye Junlin, there was no trace of resentment; instead, their expressions were filled with gratitude and awe.

“Master, I don’t want to stay in this place anymore!” said the Great Mushroom King.

The Land of the Immortal Burial was eerie and oppressive; if he weren’t driven to the brink, he wouldn’t want to hide here like a rat in a gutter.

“Alright, I’ll take you away,” Ye Junlin smiled.

The Yin-Yang Ghost lurking in the shadows closely observed Ye Junlin’s figure, a flicker of greedy desire shining in its eyes.

“This human race Immortal Sovereign must be very tasty. If I can devour him, the benefits will be unimaginable!”

The moment Ye Junlin took action revealed his true cultivation level to the Yin-Yang Ghost.

Although its cultivation was comparable, this was the Land of the Immortal Burial, its domain, and it had billions of evil spirits to assist, so the Yin-Yang Ghost felt it had a significant advantage.

“If I miss this chance, it’ll be tough later; after all, only here can I unleash my full strength…”

The Yin-Yang Ghost’s thoughts started to stir as it gazed at the receding figure, its eyes gradually filled with murderous intent.

Just then.

A vast voice reverberated overhead in the Land of the Immortal Burial, leaving no room for doubt.

“Fellow Daoist, please pause!”

Three figures approached in unison, surrounded by blazing immortal radiance, like three resplendent suns flying across the sky, illuminating the dark Land of the Immortal Burial, causing countless evil spirits to wail.

“Hmm?”

Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow.

In no time, the three figures landed around him, each standing in their respective positions, clearly intent on encircling him.

The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing a peach wood hairpin, with a delicate, jade-like face, dressed in robes patterned with the sun and moon, holding a whisk and smiling amicably.

“I am Sun and Moon Immortal Sovereign; may I ask the esteemed name of fellow Daoist?”

As soon as these words were spoken, all hell broke loose.

“Sun and Moon Immortal Sovereign? That’s the founding master of the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect!”

“Wait, the two others accompanying him appear to be Lingyu Shangren and Jiu Ku Chan Shi!”

“My heavens, they’re all legendary Immortal Sovereigns! The pillars of the Vast and Noble Domain!”

The cultivators exclaimed.

The overall strength of the Vast and Noble Domain far surpassed that of the Jade Surge Domain and the Ancient Luo Domain because there were three Immortal Sovereigns stationed there!

Namely, Sun and Moon Immortal Sovereign, Lingyu Shangren, and Jiu Ku Chan Shi!

They had not expected these three to come together to search for that Supreme Immortal Medicine.

Clearly, some kind of agreement had been made behind the scenes; otherwise, they wouldn’t have arrived here so synchronously.

At that moment.

As Ye Junlin and his party were about to leave, the Sun and Moon Immortal Sovereign and the others chose to intercept them at this very moment, causing all the cultivators to feel that something significant was about to happen.

“Three more human race Immortal Sovereigns showed up?” The Yin-Yang Ghost, about to make a move, felt alarmed and quickly retreated.

After all, the situation was unclear; recklessly charging out would only lead to being focused on. Its goal was to observe the developments; if a fight broke out, that would be best—it could reap the benefits from the sidelines.

“If I can devour all four of these fellows, I can’t even imagine how powerful I would become.” The Yin-Yang Ghost grew increasingly excited.

“The esteemed name?” Ye Junlin pondered for a while before answering seriously:

“Ye Tian Emperor!”

He thought about it carefully; after all, when he was in the Kunlun Realm, many referred to him as Ye Tian Emperor, so he might as well bring that title into the Immortal Realm.

The crowd gasped in shock, their hearts pounding.

Ye Tian Emperor?

Hiss~!

The sound of cold gasps echoed all around.

Countless powerful figures looked at Ye Junlin with their expressions filled with shock, their minds revolving around the three words: Ye Tian Emperor.

Such an exaggerated title; why hadn’t they heard of it before?

Shouldn’t be the case!

“Ye Tian Emperor?” The Sun and Moon Immortal Sovereign looked taken aback.

Historically, there were many remarkable prodigies who, after achieving certain accomplishments, would bestow themselves some grandiose title to showcase their unmatched talent and status.

But even the utmost in creativity has its limits.

Now, someone dared to claim themselves as the Tian Emperor, which deeply shook the Sun and Moon Immortal Sovereign’s heart.

Everyone’s an Immortal Sovereign—are you special?

Moreover, do you know how heavy the weight of the title Tian Emperor is?

Forget about you as an Immortal Sovereign; even those lofty Immortal Emperors don’t dare to refer to themselves as Tian Emperor!

Because, in some sense, the weight of the Tian Emperor far surpasses that of the Immortal Emperor!

Can you bear the immense karma that comes with it?

“Ye… Tian Emperor?” Lingyu Shangren, with his fair complexion and delicate features, was struck by the title, his expression quite colorful.

“Amitabha Buddha~” Jiu Ku Chan Shi clasped his hands together, his long, wiry mustache contrasting with his normally calm face, revealing a touch of oddity.

In his life, he had never encountered someone so arrogant!

“Is there a problem?”

Ye Junlin frowned. Why was it that when he said the title Ye Tian Emperor, these folks’ reactions were so strange?

Was the title Tian Emperor not recognized in the Immortal Realm?

Surely not!

“Ahem, fellow Daoist, your title is truly magnificent. I admire it,” Sun and Moon Immortal Sovereign adjusted himself, forcing a smile.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but wonder why he had never heard of such a unique individual in the North Cold Immortal Domain before.

“Just say it; why are you blocking my path?” Ye Junlin waved his hand.

“Fellow Daoist, it took us great effort to negotiate terms, which is why we came together to search for the Supreme Immortal Medicine. Yet, you now intend to take it all for yourself; is that not inappropriate?”

When he spoke, the Sun and Moon Immortal Sovereign still retained his amicable smile.

Ye Junlin sneered, “This is my disciple; can’t I take him away?”

“Your disciple?”

The Sun and Moon Immortal Sovereign froze, narrowing his eyes as he scrutinized the Great Mushroom King.

The Great Mushroom King felt a bit intimidated under the gaze and instinctively hid behind Ye Junlin, exclaiming, “Master…”

The Sun and Moon Immortal Sovereign’s face darkened, seeming to accept it.

If that was the case, wouldn’t it be a wasted trip?

“Amitabha, how can Ye benefactor prove that your relationship with that Supreme Immortal Medicine is genuine as master and disciple? Poor monk has reason to suspect that you are merely forcing and enticing, aiming to take it away with justification!”

Jiu Ku Chan Shi stated solemnly.

Sun and Moon Immortal Sovereign’s eyes brightened, looking at the old monk with admiration.
