Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 530

The Black-robed Man was actually a clone of Yuhua Sheng.

After arriving in the North Cold Immortal Domain, he started to follow leads and first found a powerful Immortal Sovereign. After some intense questioning, he learned about what happened in the Soul Heaven Secret Realm. He then silenced the person before following the clues to the Azure Sky Domain.

“I didn’t expect the North Cold Immortal Domain to be teeming with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. That guy called Ye Tian Emperor has a Divine Soul that reaches thirty million zhang. Given this unusual situation, I need to be cautious and observe for a while before making any plans.”

However, on his way to the Eternal Immortal Sect, the Black-robed Man saw Li Ruotong descending with an unparalleled presence, her imperial might as heavy as a divine mountain, making him hesitate to act rashly.

He was worried that even a slight mistake might reveal his existence.

It wasn’t until Li Ruotong departed that the Black-robed Man dared to take action. He first used his best proficiency in escaping techniques, silently entering the Eternal Immortal Sect, preparing to observe for a while.

With a half-step Immortal Emperor cultivation level, combined with his unfathomable escape skills, the Black-robed Man was confident that apart from someone at the Immortal Emperor level, no one could detect his presence.

Moreover, with Li Ruotong gone, who in the Eternal Immortal Sect could balance him out?

Thus, he confidently concealed himself within, ready to quietly monitor his main target.

When he saw that Ye Junlin’s cultivation level was merely at the Immortal Sovereign realm, the Black-robed Man’s vigilance greatly decreased.

An Immortal Sovereign? He could wipe him out with a gesture!

Of course, through the intelligence he gathered, he also knew that Ye Junlin possessed five Immortal Emperor artifacts.

However, recalling how Li Ruotong had left with satisfaction, the Black-robed Man immediately concluded that the numerous Immortal Emperor artifacts Ye Junlin acquired had been confiscated by Li Ruotong.

It was no wonder he assumed it to be so.

After all,

In the savage world of Immortals, good things often belong to the capable.

Let alone the Immortal Emperor artifacts!

With just an Immortal Sovereign, how could he possibly protect Immortal Emperor artifacts? Faced with a request from an Immortal Emperor level figure, would he dare not hand them over with both hands obediently?

Thinking this way, the Black-robed Man’s last bit of concern for Ye Junlin vanished into thin air.

Just as he was about to make a move to eliminate him, Ye Junlin surprisingly detected his hiding place first.

This left the Black-robed Man, who had initially underestimated Ye Junlin, quite taken aback.

In his mind, a mere Immortal Sovereign would never be able to sense him!

Thus, the Black-robed Man had this question.

Witnessing this scene, the various Cultivators of the sect were all astonished.

Feeling the terrifying aura that resembled that of an Immortal Emperor, they were shocked yet filled with a sense of absurdity.

What on earth was happening today?

Immortal Emperors appeared one after another? And they all rushed into their sect?

“No, this isn’t an Immortal Emperor, but it’s stronger than an Immortal Sovereign. How strange…” the Eternal Ancestor said, looking puzzled.

According to his knowledge, he had never heard of the concept of a half-step Immortal Emperor, so he was unable to comprehend the aura of the Black-robed Man.

Ye Junlin sneered, “Hiding like a rat, yet pretty deep. Too bad it’s useless.”

The reason he could detect the Black-robed Man was definitely due to the keen perception of the Invincible Sword Heart.

Without the Invincible Sword Heart, he really wouldn’t have been able to sense it!

Upon hearing this, the Black-robed Man burst into fury, his eyes radiating a chilling glare.

After all, he was a clone of an Immortal Emperor, at least possessing a half-step Immortal Emperor cultivation level, yet he was described as a rat by someone inferior to him—what a profound humiliation!

“Hmph, today is your day to die!”

Boom~

The sky darkened suddenly, terrifying black lightning split the heavens, and a fierce wind surged forth, creating immense pressure.

The Black-robed Man floated in mid-air, a divine aura erupting from him, and countless golden Immortal patterns surfaced on his skin. The patterns radiated intense brilliance, embodying a sense of great freedom and bliss!

Because of Ye Junlin’s behavior, the Black-robed Man was caught off guard, prompting him to use his body’s secret technique, Yuhua Ascension Technique, to deal with this odd Immortal Sovereign level figure.

Even when hunting a rabbit, one must use full strength!

A dignified half-step Immortal Emperor level figure going all out against an Immortal Sovereign—what kind of treatment was that?

Even being killed in one blow would be entirely normal!

“Hmm?”

Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow.

For some reason, the technique being used by the Black-robed Man felt oddly familiar.

It was like he’d seen it somewhere before…

But right now, he was in desperate need of a breakthrough to reach the Immortal Emperor realm, and the Black-robed Man’s appearance was just what he needed!

“Still smiling? Soon you won’t be able to anymore!” the Black-robed Man’s eyes turned cold as he moved instantly to grab him barehanded.

Swish!

In an instant, a massive shining palm flashed like the sun, aiming to destroy Ye Junlin along with the Eternal Immortal Sect.

“Not good!” the Eternal Ancestor and others were alarmed, feeling a déjà vu of facing death.

This kind of power was something they couldn’t withstand; with just one strike, the entire Eternal Immortal Sect would cease to exist.

“Master…” Tang Yaoyao’s small face turned pale with fright, instinctively clutching the arm of a nearby woman, her eyes filled with terror.

Luo Qingwu felt a tingle at the back of her neck; she had no idea why things were this way. Today’s events surpassed her ability to comprehend, making her feel like an ant, merely a bystander.

However, the next second, her beautiful eyes widened, a look of immense shock emerging on her face. “This…”

At this moment,

Facing the attack from the Black-robed Man, a system alert rang in Ye Junlin’s mind.

【Ding! A half-step Immortal Emperor opponent detected. Triggering the passive effect of becoming stronger in response to strength, gaining the cultivation level of the Immortal Emperor’s first heaven!】

Suddenly,

Ye Junlin erupted with boundless radiant Immortal light, an unparalleled imperial might soaring into the sky, a terrible presence that made even gods and demons tremble, and one that would upend the heavens and make all beings shiver!

Above him, an ancient crown-shaped phantom materialized, surrounded by countless Immortal Path auras. As it appeared, Ye Junlin became immensely tall in the eyes of everyone, as if he were about to merge with the entire world.

This was the Immortal Path Crown of the Great Heavenly Position!

With this crown, he could impose a natural suppression on any Immortal Emperor figure whose status was lower than his, greatly enhancing his own strength—this was the preeminent symbol of kings among the Immortal Emperor realm!

Boom~

The entire Azure Sky Domain was impacted, as if a great earthquake had struck, and even nearby several major domains felt the tremor.

“What is going on!?

“Heavens, this is the aura of an Immortal Emperor!”

“Holy crap, has a new Immortal Emperor been born in our North Cold Immortal Domain?!”

…

Feeling this enormous imperial pressure descend, countless Beings felt as if their scalps were about to explode, their blood nearly freezing as they instinctively turned to gaze towards the source of the aura, their faces filled with shock.

“This aura, could it be…” Li Ruotong, originally about to return to the Creation Domain, was suddenly startled, her figure vanishing into thin air.

Inside the Eternal Immortal Sect.

At this moment, Ye Junlin had officially advanced to the Immortal Emperor realm!

With the crown above his head, eyes like golden suns, and a trace of gentle smile on his lips, he appeared as if everything was perfectly anticipated.

With just a glance, that massive palm strike shattered into nothingness.

“Uh ah,” the Black-robed Man spat blood, his body flying back upright, crashing through hundreds of mountains.

Amidst the ruins, he lay there covered in blood, staring incredulously at the direction of Ye Junlin, unable to believe his words:

“You, you are an Immortal Emperor…”
