Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 666

Ye Junlin had no idea how big of a stir his appearance would cause in the outer regions.

At this moment, the Nine Nether Army, having lost Blood Hong, was being slaughtered in the Immortal Realm, utterly defeated.

Countless mangled corpses fell from the sky, causing a huge uproar across the five major immortal domains.

Even the dead half-saint powerhouses still exuded a terrifying saintly aura.

Of course, this was a significant concern for beings in the immortal way; even an Immortal Emperor had to tread carefully in the presence of a half-saint’s corpse, fearing residual auras would deal serious harm!

After a few hours, not a single member of the Nine Nether Army survived; they were all buried within the Immortal Realm.

The remaining cultivators from the Divine Court were ecstatic, shouting, “Great! We’ve won!”

They were not thrilled about protecting the Immortal Realm but rather about the successful completion of this mission, which would bring them generous rewards upon returning.

Xiang Jiba, excited, looked at another silver-haired figure with a grateful expression, saying earnestly, “Ye Daoist friend, it’s all thanks to you this time!”

Without this man’s intervention, their mission would have ended in a hasty retreat.

Before this, they had received a directive from above: if they couldn’t protect the Immortal Realm, they were to take the Star Core and surrender it to the Divine Court—that would be the worst-case scenario.

Fortunately, everything was heading in a positive direction!

Ye Junlin waved his hand dismissively, “Ah, just a little something I handled. After all, this world is under my protection; if the Nine Nether folks want to come fighting, I can’t just let them have their way.”

“Haha, you’re right!” laughed Xiang Jiba.

He didn’t read into it any further, believing Ye Junlin to be a native cultivator of the Immortal Realm.

If he knew that Ye Junlin actually came from the Kunlun Realm, he’d have been a lot more unsettled!

Because the greatest dispute between the Divine Court and Nine Nether currently stemmed from that ancient, unyielding world!

As for the Immortal Realm, it was merely a side dish!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Reward: Human Sovereign Banner!] At that moment, a system notification chimed in Ye Junlin’s mind.

Ye Junlin’s eyes lit up; this awesome artifact was finally in his grasp.

“Hehe, I’ll wait and see who the hell dares to come bother me and just toss them right into the Human Sovereign Banner!”

Ye Junlin was filled with anticipation.

After the battle, the Immortal Realm was boiling like the sea.

Anyone with eyes could see that the Immortal Realm had just weathered a major crisis.

“We are also beings of the Immortal Realm, entitled to know the truth! We hope the Immortal Court can provide us with a complete explanation!”

Cultivators from all over shouted, including some noteworthy powerhouses.

At the same time, a professional corpse collector was stealthily at work.

This person was Yuhua Sheng!

Yuhua Sheng hadn’t expected the Immortal Realm to survive the invasion; he was just contemplating revealing his identity to stage a rebellion when things took another unexpected turn: one hundred thousand Nine Nether army members had perished in the Immortal Realm.

While it should have been a deeply sorrowful event, suddenly, he thought, what a fantastic opportunity this was!

So many half-saint corpses were the best nourishment for his demonic transformation!

With that thought, Yuhua Sheng wasted no time starting to collect corpses.

With his strength already at an elite tier among Immortal Emperors, even he found it exceedingly tough to gather half-saint corpses!

A tiny slip-up could have him gravely injured by residual saintly auras!

“This is my destiny; once I consume these corpses, I will undergo a monumental transformation.”

“At that time, I will be the ruler of this world!”

“Hehehehe~”

The more Yuhua Sheng thought about it, the more excited he became, breaking into an evil laugh like a classic villain.

As the outer regulators transmitted the battle report back, it caused quite a stir in both the Divine Court and Nine Nether!

After all, both sides had been engaged in open and covert battles for years; often, slightest advantage was exaggerated.

And while the Immortal Realm seemed weak and backward, it represented something special—a battleground between the Divine Court and Nine Nether.

Whoever won would claim a victory in this war of public opinion and indirectly pressure the other side!

Thus, cultivators from both camps paid close attention to the Immortal Realm, and when they learned of the final result, they were all quite taken aback.

“Haha, the Nine Nether army was completely wiped out in the Immortal Realm! The Divine Court’s expedition truly brought honor to our Divine Court world!”

“To be honest, I was feeling pessimistic before, but reality really slapped me in the face—good, very good!”

“Refreshing! So refreshing!”

Cultivators from the Divine Court cheered with glee.

On the Nine Nether side, upon receiving the news, the atmosphere was tense, and many beings were in terrible spirits.

“Garbage! They’re all a bunch of useless trash!” a Saint King-level figure roared angrily.

“Can’t even take down a measly Immortal Realm; it’d be better to just die!”

“Damn it, at least we could have blown the Immortal Realm to bits!”

“Who’s the genius from which great world that could lead the Divine Court army to resist our Nine Nether invasion?”

The Nine Nether cultivators were perplexed; in terms of combat capability, Nine Nether had always had the upper hand over the Divine Court—how could they suffer such a crushing defeat this time? They were eager to uncover the reason!

“Everyone, we have received crucial intelligence; the key player in that battle was not a cultivator sent by the Divine Court but was a native of the Immortal Realm!”

“Blood Hong was killed by him!”

A Nine Nether powerhouse made this announcement, instantly causing an uproar among all the clans.

What a joke?

Are you saying a powerhouse born from the immortal way took down a genius raised by the Sacred Path world?

The first to jump up and question this was the Undying Blood Clan’s Ruantian Tribe.

The announcement was like salt on their wounds.

You see, Blood Hong was the strongest half-saint selected through rigorous tests of the Ruantian Tribe, and his power was beyond doubt.

And yet, he was killed by a local from an immortal world; that was not just an insult to the Ruantian Tribe, but a humiliation to the entire Undying Blood Clan!

However, the evidence was undeniable.

When the regulators presented the recording, the various Nine Nether clans fell silent, countless beings struggling to comprehend.

“Was Blood Hong really that weak? He was killed so effortlessly by that local?”

“No, it’s not that he was too weak! It’s that the Immortal Realm local is too strong!”

“Look closely; his physical strength clearly surpassed the half-saint limit, reaching true Saint level!”

“Hiss, so this is Physical Body Becoming a Saint!”

“With this, everything falls into place!”

“Wait, this doesn’t make sense! A world of immortal civilization not only birthed a half-saint but also achieved Physical Body Becoming a Saint—that’s going against heaven!”

“Honestly, when you look at the entire universe, this is a remarkably explosive phenomenon!”

Countless cultivators in the Nine Nether Realm were enraged at Ye Junlin while also feeling marvelously curious about this special existence.

In the Shura Realm.

Piro Sacred Kingdom.

A small loli, one meter fifty tall with pink twin tails, looked at the familiar silver-haired figure on the screen, her delicate and cute face full of shock, and then stomped her foot in anger.

Rosa was both surprised and furious; that person from before who made her taste profound defeat was now causing such a huge commotion, bringing shame to Nine Nether!

“This guy’s abilities just keep growing!”

Rosa was gritting her teeth in frustration.

“Uh? Could it be that my little sister knows him?” Her brother Luo Yan squinted, sensing something unusual, and asked deliberately.

Without thinking, Rosa pointed at the silver-haired figure on-screen, angrily exclaiming, “Of course I know him! He’s the one who got me pregnant!”

At that moment, the hall fell into an eerie silence.
