Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 668

After the coronation ceremony officially concluded, it signified that a brand new superpower stood tall in the Immortal Realm, enjoying the reverence of countless beings from across the seas and mountains.

Meanwhile, this shift was promptly relayed back to the respective forces by spies from beyond the realm.

In an instant, the starry sky erupted with massive tremors!

“Are you kidding me? That guy with the surname Ye actually established the Celestial Court? What’s he thinking?”

“The most absurd part is he even dares to call himself the Celestial Emperor! Only the supreme leader of the Divine Court is worthy of that title!”

“Hmph, it’s said that this arrogant human has openly issued threats against us, completely unaware of his own insignificance!”

…

In the starry sky, many Saint-level beings received the news, and their reactions were all over the place—some were shocked, others were contemptuous, some looked on in disdain, some chuckled, while others were furious!

To almost everyone, Ye Junlin’s actions seemed absurdly reckless, like a strong little ant trying to show off against a massive group of fierce beasts. It was downright laughable!

Little did he know that no matter how strong the ant was, one stomp from any fierce beast could crush it!

“Heh, that so-called ruler of the Celestial Court is dragging the Immortal Realm down with him; he’s completely oblivious to the outside world, thinking that just winning one battle makes him invincible.”

“With the Divine Court’s protection, the Immortal Realm at least could scrape by, but his actions are bound to provoke the Divine Court’s ire. Soon enough, the Immortal Realm might pay the price!”

“That’s the fate of ignorance, too bad about that previous victory.”

Some cultivators in the Divine Court, who realized this action would lead to a shift in the situation, held a pessimistic view of the Immortal Realm.

They felt this world was likely heading for disaster!

It was quite understandable.

For such a weak world like the Immortal Realm, its prolonged conflict with Nine Nether was only possible thanks to the backing of the Divine Court.

If it weren’t for the Divine Court restraining the Saint-level experts of Nine Nether, a single Saint could wipe out the Immortal Realm at will!

However, having stirred up such a mess, it was only reasonable for the higher-ups of the Divine Court to become displeased with the Immortal Realm and decide to abandon it.

On the Nine Nether side, they watched all of this unfold, initially astonished but quickly filled with deep joy!

Now, let’s see who can save you!

To the higher-ups in Nine Nether, losing the powerful backing of the Divine Court meant destroying the Immortal Realm would be a piece of cake.

Any single Saint could massacre this realm and eliminate the so-called ruler of the Celestial Court!

Of course.

They couldn’t be too blatant; the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

Once Ye Junlin was dealt with, the Immortal Realm would be like loose sand; just sending a few people would be enough to clean it up.

Seizing this opportunity, Nine Nether eagerly sprang into action!

As for the Immortal Realm.

Time passed, and after experiencing the recent turmoil, the vitality of the world was undergoing incredible changes.

Threads of Saintly Dao rhythm began to emerge, stirring in the vastness of the heavens and earth!

The reason for such changes was that the numerous Half-Saint-level experts who had perished in the Immortal Realm turned into nourishment for its Heavenly Dao.

This meant the Immortal Realm was half a foot in the door to the Saintly Dao world!

The true Saintly Dao world wasn’t that far away!

Noticing these changes, many powerful beings were filled with mixed feelings; previously, being an Immortal Emperor represented the end of the cultivation path, but now, above Immortal Emperor, there was the possibility of touching Saint-level!

This was all within reach!

In the Celestial Court.

On the imperial seat, Ye Junlin gazed at the endless sky, his realm allowing him to see things beyond the grasp of most.

He could see that the laws enveloping the Immortal Realm were undergoing an indescribable transformation, as if in a process of shifting to a new level.

It was like a dragon in its transformation phase, having sprouted horns and some scales but still not fully completed its metamorphosis.

“If the Immortal Realm truly reaches that stage, it means a formal transition from Immortal Dao civilization to Saint Dao civilization.”

“At that time, it should be called the Holy Realm!”

Ye Junlin pondered.

“Ye, old friend, could we talk privately for a moment?”

Suddenly, Xiang Jiba’s voice carried a hint of complex emotions.

“Of course, the usual place!”

Ye Junlin seemed to know the intent, responding calmly.

Swish~

Soon, the two figures appeared in a quaint pavilion, the very place they first enjoyed the sacred wine together.

Xiang Jiba looked at this silver-haired youth, unsure of what to say, and sighed, “Ye, you are too impulsive!”

Ye Junlin chuckled, “What do you mean by impulsive?”

This line immediately ignited Xiang Jiba’s emotions, as he exclaimed, “Isn’t this impulsive? Let’s set aside the so-called Celestial Court for a moment. You dare to crown yourself as the Celestial Emperor—that’s the greatest disrespect to the leader of the Divine Court. Plus, you’ve openly declared your stance; do you know how many forces out there are watching your joke?”

“Ye, you’re really confused! Do you think you’re invincible among Half-Saints just because the Divine Court is holding back stronger opponents? Now that you’ve provoked their displeasure, they might abandon the Immortal Realm, and with your Half-Saint cultivation, how can you survive under a Saint?”

Xiang Jiba looked at him with disappointment, almost pounding his chest in frustration.

He really considered Ye Junlin a friend; after all, he had saved his life.

But Ye Junlin’s actions seemed to be stepping on the Divine Court’s landmines; regarding the issues of the Immortal Realm, the Divine Court’s higher-ups probably chose to turn a blind eye.

Thus, Xiang Jiba thought Ye Junlin’s situation was very precarious!

“Thank you for your concern, my friend. I couldn’t care less about the Divine Court’s protection, or rather…I fear no opponent!”

Ye Junlin said with a smile, his tone steeped in powerful confidence.

The reason he established the Celestial Court and announced it to the world was actually to draw hatred, hoping the Divine Court and Nine Nether would come after him so that he could achieve a breakthrough without leaving home!

Besides, his Human Sovereign Banner wasn’t just for show!

Whatever came his way, he would take it all!

That was his domineering attitude!

“You…”

Xiang Jiba was stunned, utterly flabbergasted.

He never expected Ye Junlin would say something like this—how utterly unaware could one be of the world?

“Alright, it’s come to this; there’s no need for you to persuade me further. I know your intentions are good.”

Ye Junlin waved his hand.

“Ah,”

Xiang Jiba shook his head, a look of helplessness on his face.

At that moment.

Gentle ripples appeared in the sky, followed by three narrow cracks suddenly appearing.

Swish, swish, swish!

As those three strange figures descended upon the Immortal Realm, they vanished into the void like specters, heading towards the towering Celestial Court.

Their auras were extremely suppressed, moving silently, and not a single being along the way noticed anything unusual.

In stark contrast to the previously boisterous Divine Court cultivators, they felt like they were sneaking around to do something shameful.

Inside the pavilion.

Just as Xiang Jiba intended to rise and leave, a chilling sensation shot up his spine, making every hair on his body stand on end, as if he had been locked onto by some terrifying fierce beast.

Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow, a playful smile creeping onto his face, “Heh, that was quick…”

Ever since he boldly established the Celestial Court, he had been waiting for this day!
