Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 531

The Black-robed Man never expected that Ye Junlin’s cultivation level was actually at the Immortal Emperor realm.

The only explanation for his earlier misjudgment is that the opponent was deliberately putting on a show!

He had been deceived!

“Damn it, you’re already at the Immortal Emperor level, why still play these petty tricks?”

The Black-robed Man ground his teeth in hatred towards Ye Junlin’s actions, utterly loathing this shameless baiting.

Can’t people just be honest with each other?

I’m genuinely appalled!

“Immortal Emperor! Ye Daoyou is really an Immortal Emperor!!” Eternal Ancestor’s face was filled with shock, his eyes wide as saucers.

Even though he had somewhat expected it earlier, seeing it with his own eyes left him deeply stunned.

Turns out there was an Immortal Emperor by his side all along!

“He’s actually an Immortal Emperor…” Luo Qingwu’s pupils shook violently, her heart racing, muttering to herself.

At first, she thought Ye Junlin’s title was over the top; after all, daring to call himself the Heavenly Emperor when he wasn’t even an Immortal Emperor.

But upon seeing this scene, Luo Qingwu realized he indeed had the qualification to claim that title!

“Hmph, so what if he’s an Immortal Emperor? He still got into bed with me.” Coming back to her senses, Luo Qingwu found a touch of superiority in her heart and spoke smugly.

With her unique way of thinking, she was still able to save face in such matters!

“Ugh,” Tang Yaoyao frowned, speechless at this woman’s over-the-top remarks.

Next, she shot an excited glance at Ye Junlin, her mind filled with that imposing figure oozing supreme might.

“Ye Senior is actually a legendary Immortal Emperor, no wonder he’s so powerful!”

Upon seeing her crush turn out to be an Immortal Emperor, especially showing off that domineering demeanor, Tang Yaoyao instantly became infatuated, her heart fluttering like a deer, wishing she could throw herself onto him.

She even began to fantasize about lying in Ye Junlin’s embrace, being sweetly cared for while he whispered various endearing yet cheesy lines.

When it comes to fantasizing, Tang Yaoyao definitely has her skills!

At the same time.

Under countless astonished gazes, Ye Junlin’s silver hair flowed majestically, his handsome face radiating an awe-inspiring imperial might, standing tall as if he were the ruler of all beings.

“I knew it, I knew it…” Canglang Jun was incredibly excited, repeatedly muttering this phrase.

Having seen how Ye Junlin operated all along, he understood well that Ye was good at hiding his true power; he only revealed his superior realm when faced with significant trouble.

And this might just be the tip of the iceberg!

Canglang Jun was fully aware that Ye Junlin had been the strongest Immortal Emperor long ago, and he was now merely regaining his former strength!

That’s why he was so worried about his granddaughter impulsively taking action against Ye Junlin.

You see,

Facing such an unfathomable existence, your so-called limits are merely their lower bounds!

“So this is what it feels like to be an Immortal Emperor; quite pleasant…” Ye Junlin carefully sensed the distinctly different power within him, feeling great.

Then, he raised his hand to grab something in the air, “Come here, you rat-like thing!”

“Not good!”

The Black-robed Man felt a rush of adrenaline and tried to flee, but in an instant, he found himself unable to move, his body being pulled over by an overwhelming force.

In front of an Immortal Emperor like Ye Junlin, his resistance was as feeble as that of a baby.

“Speak up, why did you come to kill me, and who sent you?!” Ye Junlin asked coldly.

Before his eyes, the Black-robed Man was enveloped by a ball of light, unable to move anything but his eyes and mouth.

Although the guy had voluntarily delivered an Immortal Emperor-level experience pack to him, procedures had to be followed!

Ye Junlin was also puzzled; he was minding his own business in the North Cold Immortal Domain, how did he end up attracting a half-step Immortal Emperor-level powerhouse?

But it could be inferred that the opponent was likely not from the North Cold Immortal Domain but from some other immortal domain.

He wanted to know why the Black-robed Man had traveled all this way to kill him, if someone was secretly manipulating him, who that could be.

“Hmph, I admit you surprised me, but if you think you can pry any information from me, it’s absolutely impossible!”

The Black-robed Man, from panic to calm, seemed to accept his fate, wearing a sinister smile.

“Oh, then I’ll just soul-search you.” Ye Junlin prepared to move to the next step.

With his Immortal Emperor cultivation, soul-searching a half-step Immortal Emperor should be a piece of cake, right?

“Do you think I’ll let you have your way?” The Black-robed Man’s eyes sparkled with a strange glint, sneering.

In the next second, his body disintegrated like dust in the wind, rapidly vanishing from sight.

Even Ye Junlin couldn’t stop what was happening!

“Hmm?”

Ye Junlin was somewhat surprised.

This wasn’t a mere self-detonation; it was a self-dismantling that couldn’t be prevented by outside forces.

And it was done quickly, with no hesitation whatsoever.

The lead was severed…

Ye Junlin frowned.

Honestly, he wasn’t afraid of being targeted by someone in the shadows, but he just didn’t like this feeling of being kept in the dark.

Out of the blue, a half-step Immortal Emperor-level assassin showed up, and he didn’t even know the reason behind the assassination.

It was really frustrating!

“But this guy’s move felt vaguely familiar… as if I’ve seen it somewhere…” Ye Junlin mused slightly.

What he didn’t know was that the Black-robed Man had used the Yuhua Ascension Technique, a forbidden secret technique known only to the core disciples of the Yuhua Sect back when he was in the Kunlun Realm’s Eastern Domain.

This secret technique’s most notable effect was greatly enhancing combat power with almost no side effects.

It was a unique secret technique created by the founding ancestor of the Yuhua Sect!

The reason Ye Junlin didn’t immediately recognize it was partly because the impression wasn’t deep enough, and partly because the Black-robed Man’s version was derived from his own body, showcasing the most authentic golden patterns, which were strikingly different.

“Never mind, I grow stronger when faced with stronger foes; bring them on, I’ll deal with any number!”

Ye Junlin shook his head, not caring to think further about this issue.

In an instant, he retracted his imposing aura, the terrifying imperial might dissipating entirely, and he appeared rather ordinary again.

“Ye Senior, I have to thank you for your help this time!”

Having witnessed Ye Junlin showcasing his Immortal Emperor demeanor, Eternal Ancestor appeared particularly flustered and nervous, full of reverence.

“Don’t mention it; he was originally here to find me,” Ye Junlin waved his hand dismissively, speaking nonchalantly.

Then, he lay back down in the chair and cleared his throat, “Xiao Dezhi, brew some tea!”

“Alright!”

Canglang Jun was unusually excited, his smile blooming like a chrysanthemum, feeling deeply honored.

Witnessing this scene,

All the sect’s cultivators were filled with envy and jealousy.

Initially, they thought Canglang Jun was losing his mind, wanting to serve others while enjoying a carefree life at the Li Family, but now they realized it all had its reasons!

After all, serving an Immortal Emperor personally wasn’t an honor just anyone could enjoy!

“Master, Master, I’ve changed my mind,” on the mountaintop, Tang Yaoyao tugged at Luo Qingwu’s sleeve, her face red as she quietly said, “How about you go tell Ye Senior we should all hang out tonight…”

At that moment, Tang Yaoyao no longer held on to her modesty, feeling a sense of urgency; she had to admit that what Luo Qingwu said before was spot on.

A man like Ye Junlin was destined to be out of her reach in the future, the gap between their levels was too vast.

After all, what qualifications did she have to get close to an Immortal Emperor? Let alone have a relationship that exceeded friendship?

If she didn’t seize the opportunity now, she wouldn’t get it later!

Even if she couldn’t win his heart, at least she could enjoy a night of happiness, and looking back years later, it would still be worthwhile!

Thus, Tang Yaoyao gathered her courage and made the request to Luo Qingwu.

Unfortunately.

Luo Qingwu was already too preoccupied to think about that.

When she witnessed Li Ruotong arrive at the Eternal Immortal Sect as an Immortal Emperor, chatting and laughing with Ye Junlin, she felt extremely displeased; now seeing Ye Junlin reveal his Immortal Emperor-level cultivation, even the usually carefree Luo Qingwu sensed an immense threat.

“No way, I must work even harder to strive for a breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor realm soon!” Luo Qingwu gritted her teeth, determination gleaming in her eyes.

“Master, I…” Seeing the woman not responding, Tang Yaoyao cautiously spoke up again.

Luo Qingwu immediately became irritated, slapping Tang Yaoyao on the head, scolding,

“Tang Yaoyao! What nonsense are you thinking about? Are you still my disciple?! Can’t you get serious for a minute? Now go back and do your training, that’s what someone your age should be doing!”

“???” Poor Tang Yaoyao clutched her throbbing head, tears almost spilling from her eyes, staring in shock at her master’s sudden change, feeling utterly unfamiliar with Luo Qingwu.

Huh? What’s going on here?

Didn’t you say something different before?!

Waaah, Master is bullying me…

Far away.

A woman like a moon goddess gazed in the direction of Ye Junlin, a complex expression flashing across her beautiful eyes.

“No wonder Grandpa urged me so vigorously not to act against him; turns out he really meant well.”

“Ye Daoyou, you hid it well, even I was fooled by you!”

Li Ruotong’s heart couldn’t calm down for a long time, feeling a wave of fear.

At her level, she unexpectedly misjudged someone, indicating that the other party likely had cultivation that far exceeded the mere first level of the Immortal Emperor.

Most crucially, the other wasn’t an ordinary Immortal Emperor; the Immortal Path Crown he had condensed was also at a Great Heavenly level.

In an instant, the advantages she had boasted about vanished entirely before that man!

“I had thought I was still the strongest in the North Cold Immortal Domain, sigh…”

Li Ruotong felt particularly gloomy, bitterly smiling a few times before her figure transformed into a shimmering ray of moonlight, disappearing in an instant, leaving a faint glow in the air.

She needed to go back and continue her rigorous cultivation!
