Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 554

Ye Junlin stood with his hands behind his back atop the clouds, frowning.

Ever since the alien races invaded the North Cold Immortal Domain, several territories had been dragged into the whirlpool of war.

With him around, the Qingtian Great Domain remained safe, but at this rate, the crises everywhere couldn’t be resolved. Later, he received updates from the outside world, stating an unprecedented imperial battle had erupted in the Creation Great Domain, where Li Ruotong and several alien Immortal Emperors were locked in a fierce fight.

Upon learning that his granddaughter was in danger, Canglang Jun was anxious to rush over, but he was stopped by Ye Junlin without a second thought. After all, with Canglang Jun’s strength, all he would do is add to the trouble.

At that moment, the system triggered a special check-in mission, which was to go to the Creation Great Domain to complete the check-in. The reward for the check-in was a Formation Saint experience package!

That’s right, Formation Saint!

At first, when Ye Junlin heard this new term, he was quite surprised.

After all, this thing had “Saint” in its name, and it sounded more powerful than a Dao Array Master.

Sure enough, under the system’s explanation, the Formation Saint was an existence above Dao Array Masters!

A formation master superior to Dao Array Masters was called a Formation Saint across the vast realms!

Moreover, Ye Junlin learned here that the concept of Supreme Array Master was actually already severely outdated.

In ancient times, due to the scarcity of Saint-level Experts, anyone whose abilities exceeded those of Dao Array Masters was called a Supreme Array Master, with Liu Huangshu being the most famous representative.

But now, times have changed, and the universe has entered the Era of the Saint Path, leading to a more detailed classification of levels above Dao Array Masters among cultivators.

First and foremost was the Formation Saint!

A formation set up by a Formation Saint could even wipe out a large number of Saint-level Experts!

And Liu Huangshu, strictly speaking, was considered a pseudo-Formation Saint!

He was called a pseudo-Formation Saint because he hadn’t reached the Saint-level, but in terms of mental power and formation mastery, he had achieved the level of a Formation Saint.

Just one word difference, yet it felt like a chasm!

This meant Liu Huangshu could at most threaten ordinary Saints in terms of formations, but that was as far as it went.

After figuring this out, Ye Junlin suddenly became very interested in the check-in reward!

If he could obtain the Formation Saint experience package, he would jump to the Formation Saint level in terms of his formation skills.

From then on, any formation would be child’s play in his eyes!

Not a worry at all!

Then, after Canglang Jun expressed his thanks excitedly, Ye Junlin set off to check in at the Creation Great Domain, planning to lend Li Ruotong a helping hand along the way.

During this process, he dealt with the alien races he encountered with a simple wave of his hand, until he passed through the Wilderness Great Domain and saw an alien army rampaging through like a virus. Ye Junlin, with a mindset to help when he could, personally descended into the Wilderness Great Domain, ready to give them a thorough cleansing.

At this moment.

Looking down at the countless alien cultivators below, Ye Junlin’s eyes glinted with a cold intensity, his fingers coming together before him, his entire aura transforming like a peerless divine sword drawn from its sheath, sharp and blinding.

Around him, a dense mass of golden Sword Qi gathered like an ocean, unleashing a terrifying energy wave akin to a storm.

“Die!”

A cold, majestic voice echoed across the heavens and earth, resonating in the hearts of the crowd like a divine message.

Swish, swish, swish, swish~

The dense golden Sword Qi moved as if it had a life of its own, spreading out methodically in every direction.

“Ah!”

Screams erupted one after another.

Many alien cultivators, faces filled with terror, could only watch as the golden Sword Qi pierced through their bodies, succumbing to a tremendous fear before dying.

Against an attack from an Immortal Emperor, they simply couldn’t fight back.

Even if they tried to escape, they wouldn’t stand a chance. The golden Sword Qi would catch up to them, like a death warrant that sent the aliens into a state of panic and collapse.

“No!!!”

Dozens of alien leaders were the first to be struck, obliterated into blood mist amidst their despair by the golden Sword Qi.

Under Ye Junlin’s power, the alien army stranded in the Wilderness Great Domain was quickly annihilated.

A domain extermination crisis was resolved in an instant!

The survivors from various places cried tears of joy, kneeling and exclaiming towards Ye Junlin’s direction:

“Thank you, senior, for your assistance!”

Witnessing this scene, the Giant Spirit Immortal Sovereign’s eyes brimmed with tears, and he bowed with clasped hands, saying:

“Your Excellency Ye Tian Emperor, it was you who saved the entire Wilderness Great Domain; I can’t thank you enough!”

Ye Junlin gave him a glance, thoughtfully stroking his chin, “It’s you; I have some impression of you.”

He remembered that this person was an old friend of the Eternal Ancestor.

“To be remembered by you is an honor!” Upon hearing this, the Giant Spirit Immortal Sovereign felt overjoyed.

“Hmm, since you all are fine, I’ll take my leave,” Ye Junlin didn’t want to waste another second there, and his figure transformed into a streak of golden light, disappearing without a trace.

“Farewell, Ye Tian Emperor!”

The Giant Spirit Immortal Sovereign quickly called out, his eyes filled with awe and fervor.

“We bid farewell to Ye Tian Emperor!!!”

On the battlefield, all the cultivators cupped their hands and bowed, and their respectful voices gathered like a roaring tide, shaking the heavens.

Not long after.

Ye Junlin arrived at the Creation Great Domain.

[Beep, congratulations to the host for successful check-in, reward: Formation Saint experience package!] Meanwhile, the system’s prompt echoed in his mind.

The next moment, even more profound and intricate formation knowledge erupted in his mind like a volcanic eruption.

“Uh, ah,”

Ye Junlin covered his forehead with one hand, gritting his teeth as cold sweat trickled down his face.

One can imagine how enormous this inheritance was!

In just a few breaths, Ye Junlin’s mastery of formations surged from a top-tier formation master to the level of a Formation Saint!

“Whew…”

Only after the pain subsided did Ye Junlin finally relax, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

Becoming a Formation Saint wasn’t easy at all!

Fortunately, he had worked hard enough and endured enough!

If other formation masters heard him say such a thing, they would surely be so furious they’d spit blood, cursing him for being shameless.

Even Liu Huangshu, who was hailed as the number one formation master in all history, would likely want to perish together with Ye Junlin.

Simply because Ye Junlin was too despised!

A Formation Saint—that truly was a Formation Saint!

In ancient times, they were called Supreme Array Masters, the ultimate goal that countless formation masters dreamed of but could not reach.

Even in this era, it stood as a mountain impossible to surpass!

In the various alien traditions, they would definitely be treated as honored guests!

Now, Ye Junlin had achieved it effortlessly, how could it not make others envious and filled with hatred?

Having successfully obtained what he desired, Ye Junlin turned his attention to the Creation Great Domain.

With a sweep of his Immortal Emperor-level Divine Sense, he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

“What’s going on? Didn’t they say there would be an imperial battle?”

Not seeing the anticipated scene, Ye Junlin felt a bit puzzled.

Suddenly.

A familiar and indifferent female voice rang in his ears, “Ye Dao Friend, please come over here.”

“It’s Li Ruotong,” Ye Junlin’s spirit stirred as he headed toward the source of the voice.

He thought that since she was still here, she should be out of danger and not worth being overly concerned about.

Whoosh!

He arrived on a secluded island.

Ye Junlin stood on the golden sandy beach, gazing at the graceful figure standing under a large tree, shrouded in shadow. He said earnestly:

“Li Dao Friend, your grandfather is very worried about you. Knowing you are safe, he will surely be very happy.”

He expected a response, but unexpectedly, Li Ruotong stood like a wooden block, her expression numb with not a hint of spirit, her gaze hollow, seemingly not hearing what Ye Junlin said.

“Hmm?”

Ye Junlin frowned.

Li Ruotong’s unusual state made him feel uneasy.

After all, anytime her grandfather was mentioned, Li Ruotong would be very concerned, yet now she seemed completely indifferent, clearly something was off!

“Wait, there’s someone behind that tree!”

Ye Junlin regrouped his focus and sensed a faint aura behind the tree, but to him, it was extraordinarily weak, so he hadn’t paid it any mind.

“Hehe, figured it out, huh?”

A young man stepped slowly out from behind the towering tree, wearing a peach wood hairpin and a brand new dark robe, with jingling accessories.

He was supposed to exude an air of carefree elegance, yet half of his face looked horrible, as if he had just been slapped and hadn’t healed, making his pretentious posture oddly hilarious.

“Uh,”

Seeing this, Ye Junlin’s expression turned strange, “Who are you?”

“I am Bo Chengli, pleased to meet you, Your Excellency Ye Tian Emperor.” Bo Chengli clasped his hands, a playful smile on his face, yet the more he put this on, the more comical his visage appeared.

Ye Junlin shook his head, “I haven’t heard of you.”

Bo Chengli didn’t get angry, instead, he said meaningfully, “Then have you heard of the Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign?”

“It’s you!”

Now it was Ye Junlin’s turn to be surprised.

He hadn’t expected the infamous Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign, who was reviled in the North Cold Immortal Domain, would appear before him today.

“Indeed, that’s me.” Bo Chengli’s brows raised with a hint of self-satisfaction.

Looks like he still held quite the influence, managing to elicit such a reaction from a peerless powerhouse.

“You not only survived but dare to show up?” Ye Junlin’s tone was not kind.

After hearing about the Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign’s deeds, it was hard for him not to find a reason to kill the guy.

Removing such a disaster would be beneficial for everyone!

“Hehe, why shouldn’t I?”

Bo Chengli stepped beside Li Ruotong, hands behind his back, puffing out his chest confidently as he said:

“This young master now has backing.”

Seeing this, Ye Junlin squinted, “So, Li Dao Friend is caught in your scheme. You, a mere Immortal Sovereign, actually managed to ensnare an Immortal Emperor? That’s quite surprising.”

Since leaving the Kunlun Realm and entering the Immortal Realm, he had encountered many talents along the way, but to say the most outstanding, it had to be this guy in front of him!

Now not only did he live off women throughout his life, achieving a soft meal from hard work, but even Immortal Emperors had become his lackeys.

“You flatter, you flatter.”

Bo Chengli still didn’t realize the severity of the situation, maintaining a carefree demeanor.

“So, you lured me here to use her to get rid of me?”

“Or perhaps… them!”

Ye Junlin paused, then stomped his right foot fiercely, coldly shouting: “Get out here!”

Booming~

The entire picturesque island was shattered with a stomp, plunging into the turbulent sea.

In an instant, eleven terrifying auras burst forth, soaring into the sky in unison.
