Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 512

Then, Maitreya Immortal Sovereign held his hands together and ascended step by step, like he was worshiping the Buddha.

“Hmph, don’t forget about me!” Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign leapt up with full momentum, unwilling to fall behind his old rival.

With Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign joining in, Maitreya Immortal Sovereign’s pace quickened as if they were secretly competing.

Four hundred steps, five hundred steps, six hundred steps, seven hundred steps…

Soon, they reached the seven hundred ninety steps where Eternal Ancestor was, but they didn’t stop and continued climbing.

However, both Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign and Maitreya Immortal Sovereign didn’t seem as relaxed anymore; their steps became labored.

“Old bald donkey, at this rate, I can still climb two hundred more steps. Can you?”

“Donor, if you can really do that, this poor monk wouldn’t mind turning around and going back to the start!”

“What do you mean? You think I’m trying to scare you?”

“Monks don’t tell lies.”

Before long.

Maitreya Immortal Sovereign struggled to step onto the seven hundred ninety-eighth step, exerting effort but still couldn’t take the next step.

Meanwhile, Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign was one step ahead, lingering at the seven hundred ninety-ninth step!

“Forget it, I’m done!”

Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign knew it was hopeless, but he refused to admit it, acting like it was his decision to give up.

“Amitabha, as I suspected, this so-called Qualification Platform isn’t accurate.” Maitreya Immortal Sovereign sighed.

Hearing this, Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign sneered, “Have some face! I think it’s quite accurate!”

Maitreya Immortal Sovereign shook his head, speaking with pity, “Donor, you’re being delusional.”

Watching them tear each other down, the group of strong figures felt speechless.

But they had to admit, these two had remarkable qualifications; no wonder they attained such status in the North Cold Immortal Domain.

Even so, neither could step onto the eight hundredth step, let alone the nine hundredth or even the thousandth!

It showed just how strict the standards of the Qualification Platform were!

“Wait, it seems Ye Tian Emperor hasn’t tested yet!”

“No wonder I felt like something was missing; it turns out he hasn’t stepped onto the Qualification Platform!”

“Your Excellency Ye Tian Emperor, please show us how far you can go!”

“I’m sure eight hundred steps is a sure thing!”

“Absolutely, I feel the same way; if it’s Ye Tian Emperor, he can definitely do it!”

…

In an instant, many gazes focused on Ye Junlin, filled with deep expectations.

At this moment.

Ye Junlin appeared calm on the surface, but inside, he was a bit anxious.

Because all this time, he had relied on using others’ cultivation levels to reach this level.

What is qualification?

Can you eat it?

After all, even if his qualifications were shockingly poor, as long as he had the system that made him stronger against stronger opponents, he could gain a cultivation level one minor rank higher than his opponent.

If that’s the case, why even bother cultivating? Qualification is utterly useless!

So, when he saw the Qualification Platform test levels based on the steps taken, a million grass mud horses galloped through his mind.

He was fearful of making a fool of himself in such a situation; after all, his status was considerable in everyone’s eyes. If he ended up with a pitiful number of steps, how embarrassing would that be?

At this moment, seeing it was finally his turn, Ye Junlin resolved himself after some mental preparation.

Let it be embarrassing!

At any rate, his strength is there, who dares to say anything?!

Then.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Ye Junlin coughed lightly a few times and took leisurely steps onto the stairs.

Inside, he was tense!

One hundred steps, two hundred steps, three hundred steps…

Ye Junlin patiently ascended.

By the time he reached six hundred steps, he still felt quite relaxed, which bolstered his confidence, and his steps grew lighter.

Seven hundred steps!

Ye Junlin continued stepping up, and before long, he passed by Eternal Ancestor.

“This guy is coming up,” Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign’s expression darkened, having already been convinced by Ye Junlin’s strength, he felt he could step onto the eight hundredth step.

“Amitabha~” Maitreya Immortal Sovereign recited a Buddha chant and fell silent.

Until the seven hundred ninety-ninth step, Ye Junlin suddenly stopped, looking a bit surprised.

“What’s going on, even he can’t do it?” Everyone’s heart skipped a beat.

The next second.

Ye Junlin stepped forward onto the eight hundredth step!

The crowd went silent for a moment before erupting into excitement.

“Haha, I knew it! Ye Tian Emperor could definitely do it!” Everyone felt thrilled, cheering.

It was like witnessing a miracle.

“Hmph!”

Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign snorted coldly, “What’s all this fuss about? It’s just one step more than me!”

But before he finished, Ye Junlin had already taken another step.

Eight hundred one, eight hundred two, eight hundred three, eight hundred four…

Witnessing this scene, everyone was stunned.

“He, he can still continue?”

“Turns out eight hundred steps isn’t Ye Tian Emperor’s limit!”

“Ye Tian Emperor is amazing!”

With each step Ye Junlin took, the atmosphere soared to its peak.

“This isn’t hard at all.”

Walking on the stairs, Ye Junlin still felt utterly relaxed, with no pressure whatsoever.

“System, is my qualification really that high?” He pondered and secretly asked the system.

[Ding, simply put, after obtaining the Fallen Immortal Island’s inheritance, the host has already taken on the qualities of an Immortal Emperor. Based on that, the host can at most reach the eight hundredth step!]

The system’s voice echoed.

Ye Junlin was stunned; he looked down and discovered he was unknowingly at the eight hundred thirty steps.

What’s going on?

As if sensing Ye Junlin’s confusion, the system continued explaining:

[The reason you can exceed this number is that the host possesses a “stronger against stronger” trait, needing no cultivation; just face stronger opponents to gain higher cultivation. In a sense, your qualifications are even greater than the so-called Immortal Emperor presence, with no limits! No end!]

“What?!”

Ye Junlin was dumbfounded.

His qualifications have no limits, no end?

So that means…

At the same time.

Seeing Ye Junlin stopping at the eight hundred thirty steps, Eternal Ancestor and the others couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This result is too freaking terrifying!

They originally thought eight hundred steps was the limit, but unexpectedly, he could go another thirty steps; this qualification is just too monstrous!

If he doesn’t become an Immortal Emperor someday, that would be unacceptable!

Seeing this scene, Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign felt a burning pain in his cheeks, like being slapped hard. Gritting his teeth, he said:

“Being able to get this far, I’ll give you props!”

If it were just one step more, he could still play tough, but Ye Junlin had far surpassed him; he couldn’t deny that!

“Amitabha, this poor monk still thinks this Qualification Platform is inaccurate…” Maitreya Immortal Sovereign murmured.

Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign shot him a sideways glance, disdainfully saying, “Old bald donkey, give it a rest!”

It was clear that even he couldn’t stand the thickness of Maitreya Immortal Sovereign’s face!

Suddenly.

Someone exclaimed, “OMG, he can still keep going!”

Under countless astonished eyes, Ye Junlin paused for a moment and continued climbing the steps.

No.

Strictly speaking, this time he wasn’t walking.

He was running!!
