Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 641

The crowd froze, their faces filled with shock.

“What did he just say?”

“Is the Eastern Peak Emperor actually part of the Undying Blood Clan?”

“This is impossible! How could the Eastern Peak Emperor be one of them? It’s utter nonsense!”

“Ridiculous, completely ridiculous!”

“Does Ye Junlin even know what he’s talking about? Who would believe such a thing?”

The Immortal Emperors expressed their disbelief, their faces riddled with skepticism.

After all, the Eastern Peak Emperor was one of the elders of the Immortal Court; how could such a significant figure be part of the Undying Blood Clan?

“Absurd!”

The other seven elders snapped back to reality, looking at Ye Junlin with undisguised disdain.

They believed Ye Junlin was intentionally settling a personal score!

When it came to identifying members of the Undying Blood Clan, he didn’t seem to have any real skill, just trying to garner attention!

Seeing public opinion shifting against him, the Eastern Peak Emperor, who had felt a bit rattled earlier, quickly regained his composure and scoffed:

“Is this your deduction? You do nothing but rely on your naked eye to draw wild conclusions and splatter mud on my reputation? Haha, how could Liu Taishang hold you in such high regard!”

Liu Huangshu, looking a bit taken aback, forced a smile as he tried to mediate. “I think Ye Junlin might just be joking…”

Ye Junlin shook his head, “I’m not joking. The one standing next to you is a fake from the Undying Blood Clan; the real Eastern Peak Emperor is dead!”

His words were shocking enough to silence the room.

The Eastern Peak Emperor’s face turned pale, filled with rage. “Nonsense! You’re claiming I’m a fake from the Undying Blood Clan? Do you have any proof?”

From the crowd, an Immortal Emperor snapped back, “That’s just too far-fetched! Under the Eastern Peak Emperor’s leadership, the Heavenly Punishment Sect recently even captured a member of the Undying Blood Clan! And here comes Ye Junlin, shooting off his mouth—this is slander, outright defamation!”

All the Immortal Emperors nodded, their regard for Ye Junlin dropping even further.

“Shut up! Ye Junlin is not that kind of person! I believe in what Ye Junlin says!” Bu Qianfan stepped forward in support.

Li Ruotong’s gaze turned icy, full of hostility directed at the Eastern Peak Emperor.

Since Ye Junlin had identified the opponent, she would choose to believe wholeheartedly.

“If this is true…” Su Yinghuo thought about something, her expression tense as she scanned the surroundings, a vague feeling of foreboding creeping in.

“Ye Junlin, do you have any evidence?” On the high bronze platform, Liu Huangshu locked eyes with the silver-haired youth, serious.

“Of course I do.”

Ye Junlin’s face turned solemn, “My eyes are the evidence!”

Everyone was momentarily speechless, their faces wearing strange expressions.

Seriously, what kind of proof is that?

Is he just trying to stir the pot?

“Kid, do you even know what you’re saying? If you keep this up, not even I could help you!” Liu Huangshu whispered urgently.

After all, the Eastern Peak Emperor was the top elder, holding immense power. He couldn’t even imagine such a person falling victim to a scheme, let alone being replaced by the Undying Blood Clan. The key was that Ye Junlin’s basis for judgment felt far too frivolous—so what if he believed it? It wouldn’t convince anyone in this setting!

“Hmph, you all see this, right? Not only did this man ignore the laws of the Immortal Court, he recklessly attacked members of the Heavenly Punishment Sect, and even publicly defamed me, trying to twist truths around!”

“A person so wicked and vile still holding the title of North Cold Immortal Lord—does this sit right with you?”

“I even have reason to suspect he’s the real fake from the Undying Blood Clan, attempting to disrupt our Immortal Court’s order. We need to capture him immediately and throw him in the Heavenly Prison for a thorough investigation!”

The Eastern Peak Emperor’s voice was like thunder, his imposing aura exuding an unyielding pressure.

The atmosphere in the hall grew unbearably tense, as if a great battle were about to erupt.

“Absolutely not!” Liu Huangshu’s forehead gleamed with sweat as he tried to dissuade them.

“Liu Taishang, at this point, are you still trying to protect him?” The Eastern Peak Emperor huffed coldly, visibly displeased.

“Given what you said, it would be better to apprehend him first!” From within the elder faction, a tall being wearing a crown shaped like a sky-blue dragon spoke. His fiery gaze shone like a beacon.

He was an elder of the Golden Dragon Clan and known as the Undying Dragon Emperor!

In terms of battle prowess, he was the strongest among the eight elders!

The Eastern Peak Emperor topped the eldest list mainly because he was the earliest to participate in founding the Immortal Court, in addition to his longstanding reputation, which gave him the most authority.

Notably, the Eastern Peak Emperor and the Undying Dragon Emperor shared a close friendship behind the scenes, which explained why the Undying Dragon Emperor supported him.

“This is bad.”

Realizing the situation was spiraling out of control, Liu Huangshu felt a headache coming on.

He believed Ye Junlin was powerful, but each elder ranked among the pinnacle of Immortal Emperors, wielding the authority to activate various Nine-Grade Dao Formations at will.

If a fight broke out, Ye Junlin would definitely find himself in a disadvantageous position!

Who would have thought?

Ye Junlin remained unfazed, utterly unaware he was sinking into a whirlpool.

Those Immortal Emperors around him, itching to prove their worth, looked like foolish ants in his eyes!

“Hehe, since you’re unwilling to admit it, I’ll force you to reveal your true self!”

After saying that, Ye Junlin’s figure flickered and he appeared before the bronze platform.

“What are you trying to do?!”

The Eastern Peak Emperor’s face changed as he instinctively took two steps back.

“How dare you act brazenly in public!”

The Undying Dragon Emperor was instantly enraged, pulsating with brilliant golden light, an overwhelming dragon might exploding like a volcano, making everyone tremble in fear.

Roar~

The sound of a powerful Dragon Roar echoed.

A rugged dragon claw, as hard as divine iron and covered in scales, shot out with terrifying force.

In the void, a phantom of a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon swirled around, providing a shocking visual impact.

Boom!

That intimidating dragon claw crashed heavily into Ye Junlin.

Result? Ye Junlin stood there, unfazed, like a mountain.

Instead, it was the Undying Dragon Emperor who was jolted back, shocked as if he’d been electrocuted, his hand bleeding profusely from shaking, letting out a painful cry:

“Ah!!!!”

This scene left the Immortal Emperors in disbelief.

They knew all too well the Undying Dragon Emperor’s strength, ranking among the top five in the entire Immortal Realm—a true super powerhouse, respected among dragonkind.

Yet, this full-out strike not only failed to harm Ye Junlin, but ended up injuring himself?

This Ye Junlin’s physical resilience was terrifyingly over the top!

Ye Junlin shrugged; that kind of attack was nothing to his sacred body.

He turned to the astonished Eastern Peak Emperor, a mocking smile curling his lips, and his fist shot out with blinding speed.

“You!”

The Eastern Peak Emperor’s scalp tingled as he thought to do something, but Ye Junlin’s fist was too quick, landing squarely in his gut.

Boom!

The air exploded.

The entire Heavenly Palace seemed to shake violently.

The Eastern Peak Emperor fell to the ground, utterly undignified, his abdomen caved in, bent like a prawn, twitching and convulsing all over, his eyes nearly popping out, occasionally spitting out blood mixed with shattered innards.

“Ugh…”

Just one punch had robbed him of any capacity to fight back.

And due to the severe injury, he could no longer maintain his disguise, rapidly revealing his true form.

Now, with a pair of shallow red blood wings emerging from his back and sharp fangs bared, his true identity was unmistakable.

At this moment, the curly-haired man from the Undying Blood Clan lay on the floor, drenched in cold sweat and looking extremely weak.

Seeing this,

The crowd stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded.

“This… this can’t be happening?!” Liu Huangshu and the other elders exclaimed in disbelief.
