Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 568

Not long after the messenger from the Immortal Court left, the news of Ye Junlin officially succeeding as the North Cold Immortal Lord spread like wildfire across the various domains.

All the cultivators clapped and cheered, feeling ecstatic about it.

“Ye Tian Emperor becoming the North Cold Immortal Lord? I’m seriously impressed!”

“Look at what you’re saying! Who would dare publicly disagree? They’d get beaten to death in no time!”

“Now the five Immortal Lords of the Immortal Realm are finally complete!”

“Haha, with Immortal Lord Ye around, who would still dare to underestimate our North Cold Immortal Domain?”

…

Just as the North Cold Immortal Domain was in a frenzy.

In Dongsheng Immortal Domain, one of the major domains being the Chihong Great Domain, in a relatively remote area.

A weary young man trudged along a high slope where the soil was red, even the rocks were red, and despite it being broad daylight, the sky shimmered with a hint of crimson light.

His hair was tied up high and secured with a peachwood hairpin; he had delicate, fair skin, charming fox-like eyes that looked dim, and a handsome face bearing an expression of numbness.

He should’ve looked like a carefree young master, but now he seemed severely battered, dejected and downcast, as if beaten by life.

If Ye Junlin were here, he’d be utterly surprised to see this young man.

Because this young man was none other than the Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign, Bo Chengli!

That’s right, Bo Chengli was not dead; he was still alive!

What had been erased before was merely a clone of his main body!

After all, Bo Chengli had always been careful. The clone he sent to test Li Ruotong was a mere projection, and after teaming up with the Alien Races’ Immortal Emperor, his cautious nature prevented him from revealing his true self, opting instead for a painstakingly refined clone that had taken ages to cultivate.

This clone had inherited nearly all of his cultivation and abilities, essentially equating to a second self.

Even someone as powerful as an Immortal Emperor couldn’t see through the disguise!

But there was one flaw—if this clone was destroyed, the main body would suffer a severe backlash.

So, currently, Bo Chengli wasn’t even at the level of Immortal Sovereign; he had dropped down to Immortal Emperor!

After consecutive heavy blows, all his efforts had gone to waste, causing Bo Chengli’s mindset to shatter, leaving him completely devoid of fighting spirit.

He had originally thought he encountered an unprecedented opportunity, not only to control Li Ruotong and redeem his past failures but also to dominate the North Cold Immortal Domain and even the entire Immortal Realm with the aid of the Extraterrestrial Allied Forces.

Just as he thought everything was going smoothly and he was about to get his way, that guy named Ye Tian Emperor showed up…

Not only did he decisively eliminate over a dozen Alien Race Immortal Emperors, but in the end, he even forced their supreme commander to flee in disgrace, leading to a massive defeat for the Extraterrestrial Allied Forces in the North Cold Immortal Domain, turning the tides completely!

When the news broke, Bo Chengli hid in the shadows, trembling in fear.

In that moment, he profoundly felt what absolute power truly meant!

So powerful, unbelievably powerful.

How could there be such a terrifying expert in the backward North Cold Immortal Domain!

As a result.

Bo Chengli realized there was no way to turn the tables, so he could only escape the North Cold Immortal Domain, sleepless and restless, in the guise of a defeated loser.

Even having narrowly escaped with his life, he felt particularly miserable, oppressed, and tortured in spirit at all times!

His beautiful dreams shattered, reality was harsh.

On top of that, during this time, news of Ye Tian Emperor being appointed as the North Cold Immortal Lord swept through the Immortal Realm, with celebrations ringing everywhere, a truly magnificent spectacle.

This undoubtedly dealt another blow to Bo Chengli, his chest felt like it was pierced by a thousand arrows, making it hard to breathe!

What he most wanted to avoid was any news related to Ye Tian Emperor.

Just hearing it made him uncomfortable!

The soul-depleted Bo Chengli deliberately distanced himself from the hustle and bustle, traveling to this remote area.

He thought about making a fresh start, but the painful failures he’d endured left a massive psychological scar, the belief and spirit he once had had scattered, making it tough to rally again.

With a dejected expression, Bo Chengli wandered aimlessly.

Suddenly.

A shocking wave of aura resonated from a distance.

Boom~!

A massive red light pillar shot up into the sky, carrying an overwhelming presence that pierced through the firmament, making the sky look as if it had been torn apart.

Following that, a terrifying aura of cultivation spread like a tide, chilling Bo Chengli to the bone, his hairs standing on end.

This aura was all too familiar to him.

Someone had broken through to become an Immortal Sovereign!

An Immortal Sovereign is still a top-tier expert in the present day of the Immortal Realm, a revered figure no matter where you place them.

In many places in the Immortal Realm, they are treated like gods, at a level akin to the founding ancestors of sects.

Bo Chengli felt a pang in his heart; he used to be a cultivator of profound depths, but now he was reduced to barely surviving as an Immortal Emperor.

To regain his peak was an extremely daunting challenge!

“Ugh, I better take the long way around and not get noticed by that guy; I might just get slapped to death.”

Bo Chengli sighed.

In the Immortal Realm, the strong prey on the weak, and the human heart is treacherous.

You never know what kind of face a stranger with strength might show you.

The disdainful and dismissive ones are relatively better; the most feared are those who treat human life like grass…

Just might butcher you on a whim.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Bo Chengli decided to take the detour, not wanting to invite unnecessary troubles.

However, at that moment, the massive red light pillar gradually dissipated, revealing a stunningly beautiful figure clad in red!

In Bo Chengli’s field of vision, that red-clad woman was breathtakingly beautiful, in vivid attire as bright as fire, with her skirt dancing in the wind. Every inch of exposed skin was smooth and fair, her collarbone utterly perfect, her figure slender like a delicate willow.

Her face was even more mesmerizing, adorned with a flame-shaped crimson mark between her brows, adding an alluring touch.

At this moment, the red-clad woman wore a calm expression, her long black hair flowing wildly, exuding an unparalleled charisma, as if she were a flower of fire blooming in the sky, making the entire world revolve around her, captivating all living beings.

Seeing this.

Even Bo Chengli, who had seen countless women, was momentarily dumbfounded.

What a remarkable beauty!

Especially with that air of reigning over the world, she seemed like an unparalleled empress capable of sweeping through the realm.

To conquer a woman like this—just the thought of it was quite a glorious achievement!

For a second, Bo Chengli instinctively thought the one who ascended to the Immortal Sovereign was a man.

He never expected it to be a jaw-droppingly stunning woman!

Bo Chengli was instantly ignited with excitement, unable to suppress his misguided desires.

Even though his cultivation had fallen to the level of Immortal Emperor, his mastery of the Yin-Yang Absorption Technique was still intact; he could still dominate a female cultivator who was a whole level above him.

Now, the opportunity was right before him!

Poor Bo Chengli had yet to realize that the red-clad woman he was smitten with was actually a man in disguise.

To make matters worse, this person also had an identity—he was the most senior disciple of his nemesis, Ye Tian Emperor!

Indeed.

That person was none other than Hong Qianye…
