Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 551

叶天帝？！

Upon hearing this name, the Asura Clan’s otherworldly Immortal Emperors exchanged glances, shock evident in their eyes.

You see, while there are countless powerful beings in the myriad realms, very few dare to claim the title of Emperor, because “Emperor” carries too much weight—many fear their fate can’t bear it!

Even those Saint-level Experts who have transcended the Immortal Path usually refer to themselves as a certain Saint, to showcase their status and identity.

Before this, the only one they had heard of who dared to call himself an Emperor was that supreme existence ruling the Divine Court!

Thus, the title of “Emperor” has always represented a taboo in the universe—a supreme being reigning over the myriad realms.

If any unworthy fellow dared to call himself an Emperor, the end would be a tragic one—either they’d face a fierce backlash from karma that leads to death or be besieged and killed by many offended cultivators.

That’s why when they heard the name Ye Tian Emperor, the otherworldly Immortal Emperors reacted this way.

“In this world, someone dares to call themselves an Emperor? Seems like there are no tigers in the mountains, so the monkeys claim king!” complained the squid race’s Dalai.

“That’s right, truly ignorant people are fearless!” sneered his companions.

“I’m curious about this so-called Ye Tian Emperor’s background,” said the Red-Haired Yaksha King, a vicious look on his face, wishing he could kill this arrogant person.

Bo Chengli said solemnly, “Everyone, don’t underestimate this. Ye Tian Emperor is mysterious, with no known origin. Rumor has it he’s a hidden supreme being who has lived for who knows how long. This woman even sought him for a philosophical debate once, and it’s said she was thoroughly defeated, indicating his unfathomable strength.”

“If you plan to conquer the North Cold Immortal Domain, you will definitely have to deal with that guy!”

At these words, the faces of the otherworldly Immortal Emperors changed slightly.

From Bo Chengli’s description, they realized he could likely be a formidable enemy.

However, with the involvement of the Asura Clan’s princess, even if things didn’t go as planned, she would cover for them.

Thinking of that little girl’s terrifying abilities, the otherworldly Immortal Emperors felt inexplicably more at ease.

Conquering the North Cold Immortal Domain was a crucial step in the Nine Nether’s invasion of the Immortal Realm, acting as the morale booster, much like a war cry.

If they failed, it would bring shame upon their respective clans, and even if they survived, they would face death’s judgment. Therefore, they had to complete this mission and sound the victorious horn of their conquest!

“Since that’s the case, let’s unite against him. Moreover, we have even stronger allies.”

Titan King Tai Xi said.

He meant to involve Li Ruotong, whom Bo Chengli controlled, to form a siege around that so-called Ye Tian Emperor.

“More allies?”

Bo Chengli caught this crucial information and felt a jolt, his expression darkening.

The depth of these otherworldly demons was more terrifying than he imagined!

“Tai Xi, do you mean to say the princess’s personal guards should take action? Is that even possible?” the squid race’s Dalai secretly communicated.

“What does that matter? Even if they’re her guards, does the princess really need them for protection? Let’s just deal with this major enemy first.” Tai Xi replied.

“Why not ask the princess to make a move herself? That way, we would have much better odds.” One of the companions couldn’t hold back and voiced this thought.

But his suggestion was immediately rebutted by the other otherworldly Immortal Emperors.

“Are you blind? Didn’t you see that this guy is bizarrely powerful, able to manipulate a female Immortal Emperor? What if the princess interacts with him, and he controls her? What then? Can you bear the consequences?”

The Red-Haired Yaksha King’s voice was filled with anger.

That otherworldly Immortal Emperor felt an icy fear wash over him, not daring to speak further, his gaze toward Bo Chengli now carried wariness.

A mere Immortal Sovereign being able to manipulate an Immortal Emperor—it was already an astonishing feat.

Fortunately, the one he manipulated was just a female cultivator; otherwise, they would be in trouble too.

At this moment, the army commanding the united forces of the three races was led by the Asura Clan’s princess, so they dared not let Rosa come over in person for fear of falling into Bo Chengli’s clutches.

It’s worth mentioning that all this communication was done through secret transmission, keeping the information hidden.

At this moment, Bo Chengli stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes because he could feel that these otherworldly demons were clearly hiding something from him!

“Hmph, if it weren’t for the pressing situation, this young master wouldn’t cooperate with a bunch of monsters like you.” Bo Chengli thought silently.

He was playing a risky game here.

Better to step up and take the initiative to relieve the pressure of the otherworldly demons rather than witness the North Cold Immortal Domain’s demise and live under their control.

After all, possessing Li Ruotong as a trump card gave him the qualification to negotiate with those otherworldly demons.

If they ended up dead in this battle, what else could he rely on?

“This young friend, we will summon help. Can you assure us that there won’t be any issues on your side?” the squid race’s Dalai spoke solemnly.

He was clearly referring to Li Ruotong.

Bo Chengli smiled confidently, “Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, she will obey me. I say east, she won’t dare go west!”

“Then that’s good.”

“If this truly succeeds, you will be a merit contributor for our Nine Nether, and the benefits will be endless in the future!”

The squid race’s Dalai spoke meaningfully.

“I don’t deserve such praise; it’s my honor to share burdens and solve problems for all of you.” Hearing the words Nine Nether, Bo Chengli’s eyes flashed with a glint of ambition as he feigned humility and cupped his hands in a bow.

He thought to himself, this must be the most formidable force of the otherworldly demons.

After establishing this consensus, the squid race’s Dalai conveyed the message to the two princess’s personal guards far away in Taihang Forbidden Mountain.

Taihang Forbidden Mountain.

The two personal guards received the message and frowned, exchanging glances.

“Princess, the squid race’s king just requested our assistance, stating there’s a troublesome Immortal Emperor in the North Cold Immortal Domain who needs us to take action to deal with. What do you think…”

Hearing her subordinate’s report, Rosa looked shocked since this contradicted previous intelligence descriptions.

She snapped, “A bunch of useless fools, can’t even deal with the locals. Hei Jue, take care of this trivial matter. I’m not in the mood to play with them because my only opponents are the strongest in the Divine Court!”

The guard named Hei Jue, wearing a black evil ghost mask, displaying a powerful aura, respectfully clasped his hands and said:

“As you command, Princess!”

With that, he vanished from the spot.

On the island.

In a room, Bo Chengli and Li Ruotong were alone together.

Looking at this revered Celestial Moon Emperor before him, Bo Chengli couldn’t help his twisted thoughts, a wicked glint gleaming in his eyes.

“Li Ruotong, oh Li Ruotong, you never thought you’d end up in my hands one day, did you?”

“I still vividly remember how you easily wiped out my clone while sitting in the Moon Palace. Even now, it’s a past I don’t want to recall!”

Bo Chengli’s emotions seemed agitated, grinding his teeth.

But the woman before him wore a blank expression, her eyes vacant, giving no response.

“Now, you’ve finally fallen into my hands! I’m going to unleash all the frustrations I’ve held on you!”

“From now on, you will not only be my attendant, but also my personal plaything, hehehe~”

As he spoke, Bo Chengli reached out, a victorious smile forming on his lips, slowly moving toward Li Ruotong’s thunderous spot…

He intended to topple her!
