Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 559

Upon witnessing Ye Junlin’s strength firsthand, Li Ruotong was deeply shocked.

The power of a single sword was truly terrifying!

Even the legendary Immortal Emperor Artifact shattered under that sword move. You can imagine just how incredible the contained power was.

It’s simply unheard of!

In truth, only Ye Junlin knew that for him, accomplishing this was quite normal.

After all, he not only possessed an Immortal Emperor Artifact but also had the support of the ultimate Sword Intent and the Invincible Sword Heart, driven by Nine-Grade Immortal Power!

With all those boosts, the power of that sword from earlier had already accumulated to an extremely exaggerated level.

If Hei Jue could block that, then it would really be something odd!

“The urgent task now is to eliminate the greatest threat posed by that so-called princess,” Ye Junlin said, his gaze flickering.

Moreover, from what he gathered from Hei Jue, that so-called princess seemed quite strong, sparking his considerable interest.

Li Ruotong tried to calm her mind and spoke earnestly, “What you said is absolutely right, Ye Daoyou. That alien princess is indeed the biggest threat. If we don’t get rid of her, the crisis in the North Cold Immortal Domain will never be resolved.”

Unknowingly, her attitude had become much more respectful, filled with a sense of awe towards Ye Junlin.

“But where are we supposed to find her?” Ye Junlin asked.

Li Ruotong pondered for a moment and said slowly, “The Demon Cave is an important passage for the extraterrestrial alien invasion. If something were to happen there, they wouldn’t be able to contact the outside world. Therefore, the Demon Cave holds significant strategic importance. I believe that princess is stationed there, directing everything.”

Ye Junlin nodded, finding this deduction very reasonable.

“Then I’ll head to Taihang Forbidden Mountain right now to take care of her!”

He had previously learned that the Demon Cave of the North Cold Immortal Domain was located at the Taihang Forbidden Mountain and had a rough idea of its location.

“I’ll go with you,” Li Ruotong instinctively replied.

Little did she know, Ye Junlin waved his hand, his tone indicating refusal.

“There’s no need. This trip will undoubtedly be extremely dangerous. Even I will have to go all out and cannot afford to be careless. I see that you, Li Daoyou, are injured. It would be better for you to stay behind to deal with the alien army, aiding the cultivators in various locales.”

Li Ruotong’s face stiffened, and she bit her lip as she nodded, “What you said makes sense, I’ll do as you say.”

His words were already quite tactful, implying that her strength was lacking, and that she would merely be a burden if she followed him—better to stay back and deal with the minor nuisances.

Li Ruotong had no objections to that and admitted she wasn’t qualified to participate.

After all, even against the masked man who appeared earlier, she was no match, let alone the even stronger alien princess!

Going along would just be a hassle. It was better to stay back and handle the alien army, thus saving more innocent lives.

“Ye Daoyou, please be extra careful from now on,” Li Ruotong reminded him, feeling rather helpless.

“Don’t worry, I’ll manage,” Ye Junlin flashed a confident smile. He didn’t need to make excessive promises to gain people’s trust; it was a trait that only those with great strength possessed.

“Mm.”

Li Ruotong’s voice was as soft as a whisper, and for some reason, her gaze shifted, her heart racing inexplicably in an instant.

Ye Junlin was oblivious to her strange demeanor, focusing all his attention on the direction of Taihang Forbidden Mountain.

Then, he flickered, turning into a streak of light hurrying towards his destination.

Li Ruotong stared blankly, her mind drifting back to that day within the Eternal Immortal Sect, recalling the intimate way he whispered in her ear. Coupled with what had just happened, a wave of emotions surged within her.

Before Ye Junlin’s arrival, Li Ruotong was strong-willed and proud. After all, she was recognized as the strongest in the North Cold Immortal Domain, with no man worthy of her attention.

But when Ye Junlin stepped into her view, his carefree demeanor and imposing confidence silently conquered her heart, making her feel admiration and reverence for the first time towards the opposite sex.

“Phew…”

Soon, she forcibly suppressed the unusual emotions inside her, regaining her previous demeanor, her aura noble and aloof, like a goddess that should not be disturbed.

In this situation, she needed to be more rational!

Swish~

Li Ruotong returned to the Great Domain of Creation, immediately causing a stir upon appearing.

“Look! It’s the Celestial Moon Emperor back! She didn’t die!”

“Pfft, the Celestial Moon Emperor is so powerful! How could she be killed by those monsters? If you say that again, I’ll make you bleed!”

“Uh, please don’t be angry. I just misspoke!”

The discussions among the crowd were quite intense.

Everyone was thrilled to see Li Ruotong return safely.

“Ancestor has returned! That’s fantastic!” In the Li family, many clan members were agitated, their cheers echoing.

After all, no matter how much they trusted Li Ruotong, the prolonged absence had inevitably led to worry and speculation.

Now that she had returned triumphantly, the weight on their hearts had finally been lifted.

Li Ruotong surveyed the lives in the Great Domain of Creation, her tone carrying undeniable authority.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the reason I could escape unharmed was entirely thanks to the help of Ye Tian Emperor. He has already rushed to the Demon Cave to confront the highest commander of the extraterrestrial demons.”

The moment these words fell, it stirred up massive waves.

“Great! Ye Tian Emperor has taken action! Our North Cold Immortal Domain is saved!” Countless people felt their blood boiling, immensely encouraged.

Being able to defeat eleven alien Immortal Emperors and forcibly turn the tide, Ye Tian Emperor certainly lived up to the rumors of being the strongest existence in the North Cold Immortal Domain.

“Now, if anyone is willing, follow me to battle the extraterrestrial demons across the major domains and restore the dignity and glory of our Human Race!”

Li Ruotong spoke firmly, her tone infused with commanding authority.

“Stamp out the aliens and reclaim our lands!” Someone started shouting, and more cultivators raised their arms in fervent response.

“Stamp out the aliens and reclaim our lands!!!!”

In that instant, billions of voices converged, sounding as if they could shatter the stars above.

The scene was incredibly grand and inspiring.

Then, under Li Ruotong’s lead, cultivators from the Great Domain of Creation sprang into action, organizing immense teams to launch a counteroffensive against the Extraterrestrial Allied Forces throughout the North Cold Immortal Domain!

Invisibly.

The scales of victory were beginning to tip!

Taihang Forbidden Mountain.

A small girl with double ponytails, about one meter fifty tall, sat on a bubble, leisurely swinging her legs while humming an unknown tune in the sky.

She was looking forward to the upcoming showdown with the strongest in the Immortal Court.

“Princess,” a voice from behind, belonging to one of the royal guards, broke the silence, sounding somewhat anxious and nervous.

“Mm?”

Rosa raised an eyebrow, “You better not tell me those useless fools can’t even handle the locals here!”

The masked man felt the princess’s displeasure and silently cursed in his heart, forcing himself to say:

“According to the news from the frontlines, our army is facing continuous defeats. The majority of the territory we had occupied is being gradually retaken by the locals, and our soldiers are suffering heavy losses, with casualties being quite severe!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than the temperature around them dropped to freezing point, making him feel bone-chilling cold.

Rosa showed no hint of anger on her face; on the contrary, she even revealed a sweet smile, but that smile was filled with a bone-chilling vibe.

“You mean to say that our Nine Nether army is encountering a rout?”

“Yes, Your Highness…”

Bai Jue was sweating profusely, his hair standing on end.

As a royal guard, he knew the princess’s disposition all too well, so the more she reacted this way, the more uneasy he felt.

“Such a bunch of incapable fools! Tell me, where are the leaders of the various armies? There are more than a dozen Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses, and they still can’t take down a lowly North Cold Immortal Domain? I demand an explanation from them!”

Rosa’s voice was icy, carrying a tone of anger.

“Your Highness, they haven’t sent any news yet, and neither has Hei Jue, who went to provide support…” Bai Jue paused for a moment before gritting his teeth.

Rosa froze, an idea popping into her mind that left her feeling incredulous.

These guys… Could they all be dead?
