Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 514

Who would have thought that the founder of the Yuhua Sect would become an Immortal Emperor after ascending to the Immortal Realm all those years ago?

His life was undoubtedly legendary.

But what left people baffled was that Yuhua Sheng, not long after breaking through to Immortal Emperor, could actually push the Soul Heaven Immortal Emperor to such a point!

The Soul Heaven Immortal Emperor was filled with both fear and hatred for Yuhua Sheng, as it was this very person who had severely injured him, leaving him on the brink of death, forcing him to escape to this place to evolve this Secret Realm.

The root of all this was due to the discovery of a shocking secret about Yuhua Sheng!

It was precisely this that drew the catastrophe upon him!

But at present, the Soul Heaven Immortal Emperor was filled with confidence for his revenge; even though Yuhua Sheng was quite the anomaly, he had an even more extraordinary presence on his side that would support him in pursuing his upcoming ambitions.

As everyone gradually recovered from their shock, a familiar authoritative voice echoed once again in the Immortal Palace.

“The first round is over; we will now distribute the number of box openings based on rankings!”

Then, numbers appeared above everyone’s heads, marking the number of boxes they could open from the first round.

“Is this it?” Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign looked at the number fifty above his head, his expression very grim.

He glanced at the number forty above Maitreya Immortal Sovereign’s head, feeling rather uncomfortable. The gap between second and third wasn’t that big after all.

Then he turned to look at Ye Junlin’s glaringly high number, and suddenly, his eyes turned red.

Two hundred box openings!

Now that was the treatment of a first place!

Various emotions of envy and jealousy flooded his heart, nearly driving Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign to madness on the spot.

After tallying the rewards, the Immortal Palace underwent yet more changes.

The cascading stairs vanished without a trace, replaced by a bunch of mysterious orbs that looked like glass but appeared dull.

These mysterious orbs slowly circled around, emanating an ancient aura.

“What’s this for?” People displayed puzzled expressions.

“The second round begins now; we will test your luck. Please place your hands on the Luck Orbs to determine the color of your luck, which will distinguish strength!”

The emotionless voice echoed through the Immortal Palace like a machine.

“Didn’t expect the second round would be a test of luck!” Eternal Ancestor raised an eyebrow.

Regardless of species, every being carried their own luck, often more important than their innate talents.

If someone had great luck, even with poor natural abilities, they could soar high through consecutive fortuitous encounters!

Thus, luck was crucial for cultivators!

“Interesting, let me give it a shot.” Giant Spirit Immortal Sovereign put his hand on the orb with great interest.

In an instant, the previously dull Luck Orb shone brightly with a blue light!

“Haha, looks good!”

Giant Spirit Immortal Sovereign said with satisfaction.

From what he just felt, the color of the light represented luck levels: from lowest to highest, they were gray, white, red, blue, purple, and gold!

His luck showed a blue color, placing him at the fourth tier.

“I’ll try too!”

Many powerful figures became intrigued and placed their hands on the Luck Orbs, eager to gauge the level of their luck.

Soon, results were revealed, with most displaying light blue or even deeper red hues.

“Hmm? Even mine is blue.” Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign gazed at the bright blue orb and showed a hint of dissatisfaction.

He, like Maitreya Immortal Sovereign, also had deep blue luck.

“What about me?”

Eternal Ancestor held his breath and gently placed his hand down.

Whoosh!

A pale purple glow emerged, overshadowing the surrounding powerful figures.

“What?!”

Everyone was left dumbfounded.

They were shocked by the strength of Eternal Ancestor’s luck!

The Luck Orb radiated a pale purple hue, exuding a sacred aura of auspiciousness.

“This is impossible! How is he stronger than all of us?!” Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign nearly dropped his jaw.

Even his unparalleled Immortal Sovereign level could only show deep blue luck—yet here was this weaker individual, exhibiting purple luck!

This was messing with their mentality!

Maitreya Immortal Sovereign was also stunned, his facial muscles twitching a bit, before he joined his hands together and solemnly uttered, “Looks like the Luck Orb isn’t accurate after all…”

“Agreed!” Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign retorted furiously.

“I—I have such strong luck?” Eternal Ancestor was genuinely surprised, mumbling in confusion.

If his luck was truly this strong, how then had he encountered such a horrendously powerful opponent in the Supreme Secret Realm, ultimately losing that match?

That made no sense!

“Congratulations, Dao Friend Changsheng,” Ye Junlin said.

“Uh, sorry for making Ye Dao Friend laugh at my situation,” Eternal Ancestor replied with a complicated expression.

He still hadn’t sensed the benefits of having purple luck and remained doubtful about the accuracy of the Luck Orb.

“A competition of luck, huh?”

Ye Junlin calmly raised his hand, nonchalantly placing it on the orb.

In the next second, the Luck Orb began to tremble violently, emitting light that was, as he had anticipated, golden yellow.

But that wasn’t all—the golden light inside the orb swelled further, resembling the birth of a golden sun!

Whoosh!!!

Boundless golden light enveloped the entire Immortal Palace, bathing everything in a dazzling glow.

Bang bang bang bang~

Suddenly, the countless Luck Orbs shattered without warning, seeming to be unable to bear the immense energy fluctuations.

When the orbs used to test luck exploded, the stunning golden light finally faded.

The scene restored itself to normal!

In an instant.

The entire place fell into stunned silence.

All the cultivators stood like wooden blocks, still recalling the shocking moment.

Not only had they detected golden luck, but the most astonishing part was that even the Luck Orbs couldn’t withstand it and exploded?

What kind of terrifying luck was this? Was there even any reason left in the world?

“Ye Dao Friend, you…” Eternal Ancestor appeared dazed, feeling utterly incredulous.

For some reason, such events happening to this young man seemed somewhat reasonable to him.

Moments later, Eternal Ancestor seemed to remember something, and suddenly reacted, his eyes wide open like copper bells, as a shocking thought flashed through his mind,

“Could the unparalleled, lonely figure I encountered in the Supreme Canyon back then actually be Ye Dao Friend?!”

The more Eternal Ancestor thought about it, the more plausible it seemed!

If that were true, then even with purple luck, being battered to pieces would be entirely justified.

“Ye Dao Friend, how am I supposed to face you from now on…” Eternal Ancestor forced a bitter smile, feeling utterly absurd inside.

To be honest, he would have preferred never to discover this secret in his life.

He felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort!

“There’s definitely a hidden agenda, absolutely there’s a hidden agenda!”

“Tell me, what kind of tricks have you pulled?!”

Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign snapped back to reality, trembling with his finger pointed at Ye Junlin, shouting, particularly agitated.

This was even harder for him to accept than Eternal Ancestor’s revelation of purple luck!

It was just too damn outrageous!

Regarding the self-detonation of all the Luck Orbs, Ye Junlin was also a bit surprised, as it was quite different from what he had imagined.

But he soon regained his composure.

Facing Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign’s frenzied outburst, Ye Junlin shrugged his shoulders, shook his head, and sighed:

“Ah, what can I do if even my slight effort pushed the limits of this segment?”

“I’m just as helpless as you are!”
