Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 741

“Back in the day, you guys abandoned the Kunlun Realm, and now you want to claim it as your own? Is Kunlun doomed to be the universal enemy?!” Liu Huangshu ground his teeth in anger.

He was furious at the Divine Court’s hypocritical demeanor.

Once, the Kunlun Realm was the second-largest world under the Divine Court, fighting for its glory and earning everlasting merits.

Later, when we lost our value, they ruthlessly abandoned us. Now, just as we finally began to rise again, we get stabbed in the back.

How could he accept this cruel reality?

Divine Envoy Wei Wu secretly scoffed while putting on a grandiose act, “Liu Dao-you, you mustn’t say that. The Divine Court only has Kunlun’s safety at heart! As long as Kunlun cooperates, Nine Nether won’t have any opportunities!”

“Do you really want to repeat the unexpected disaster from earlier?!”

His words subtly pointed towards the incident involving the damage done to the Celestial Court’s master.

“You…” Liu Huangshu’s face turned a shade of deep red, which was indeed his biggest concern.

Even the unparalleled prodigy he had high hopes for was secretly dealt with by Nine Nether, causing his cultivation to plummet and his fighting spirit to vanish.

So, Liu Huangshu was also terrified this tragedy might happen again.

After all, the Kunlun Realm really couldn’t take it anymore!

“Haha, Liu Dao-you should think this through. Rather than ending up in Nine Nether’s hands, it’s better to be completely taken over by the Divine Court to protect the beings of this world,” Wei Wu insinuated with a meaningful smile.

Suddenly, a familiar and clear voice rang out from outside.

“Old Liu, who are you talking to?”

Ye Junlin walked in to investigate the commotion, and upon seeing the shadow of that obnoxious figure in the mirror, he immediately wore a look of disdain.

“Isn’t that the fool who delivered messages before? Why is he bothering us again?”

At this, Wei Wu’s smile froze, and as he caught sight of the otherworldly silver-haired youth, memories of his previous glory attacked him all at once.

Rage surged within him!

Before, he had grinned and played nice because Ye Junlin had indeed been impressive, garnering a lot of attention from the higher-ups of the Divine Court. But now, having been undermined, with his cultivation reduced to the Immortal King Realm, what right did he have to act all high and mighty in front of me?

“Oh, isn’t this the once-mighty Ye Tian Emperor? Haven’t seen you in a while, and you’ve become such trash! Reduced to a mere Immortal King; with your level of cultivation, I could blow and kill you in an instant!”

Wei Wu dropped all pretenses and went right for the insult.

He thought Ye Junlin was finished and could never regain his former glory. After all, falling from the Saint King to Immortal King was something no one could handle without spiraling into despair—completely normal!

So he directly mocked him without caring about the consequences!

Ye Junlin looked at him as if he were an idiot, scoffing, “You really are a fool.”

With that, he waved his hand and removed the mirror’s image.

On the other side, Wei Wu was waiting for his opponent to blow up in anger, so he could continue taunting him. Instead, the mirror’s image abruptly blinked out, leaving him staring blankly for several seconds before raging fury boiled within him, as if it would set him ablaze.

It was like this before, and now it’s like this again!

Why on earth?!

How dare he act that way towards me, when he’s already fallen from grace?

“Ah!!!”

The angrier Wei Wu got, the more he sounded like a groundhog…

At the Celestial Court, Ye Junlin didn’t even bother to think about that idiot and turned to Liu Huangshu instead.

He could sense something bad had occurred.

“Hey, the situation is like this…”

Liu Huangshu explained everything in detail, his will somewhat deflated.

This time’s predicament was unlike the past. Facing a united front from the top ten worlds of the Divine Court, Kunlun was as weak and helpless as an antelope trapped in a lion’s den.

In terms of background, they were just too shallow!

Ye Junlin was surprised, “What, there’s actually such a thing?”

What he actually wanted to say was, is there really such a benefit?!

Unlike Liu Huangshu, who felt despair, Ye Junlin was overjoyed!

Not only could his Human Sovereign Banner add new members, but his cultivation could also return to its previous peak—talk about killing two birds with one stone! For Ye Junlin, this was indeed a goldmine!

Liu Huangshu sighed, “It’s a pity your cultivation has dropped. If you were still at the Saint King level, perhaps we could hold our ground—but now, how much chance do we have?”

He could already imagine the scene of numerous strong cultivators gathering in the Kunlun Realm. With the Celestial Court’s power, they wouldn’t stand a chance.

Were they really going to watch as Kunlun became a battlefield for various factions, only to fall into the Divine Court’s hands in the end?

In Liu Huangshu’s mind, he felt very pessimistic; the formation he painstakingly set up didn’t seem worth mentioning at all.

Meanwhile, Ye Junlin looked nonchalant and patted Liu Huangshu’s shoulder, “Don’t worry, Kunlun won’t fall to that fate.”

Liu Huangshu forced a bitter smile, “I must say, you have a lot of faith.”

At this point, worrying wouldn’t change anything; they could only take things one step at a time.

In the current situation, it was essential to report to Empress Fuyao, so the Celestial Court can prepare ahead of time.

Soon.

Upon hearing this news, Empress Fuyao was both shocked and furious.

She hadn’t expected the Divine Court to pull such a stunt.

“Your Majesty, what should we do?” the various celestial officials asked anxiously.

Empress Fuyao stood up, hands clasped behind her back, her gaze sharp and cold like a divine sword piercing through the vast starry sky, resolutely stating,

“My Kunlun Realm will never surrender!”

Her clear voice radiated an air of authority, resonating throughout the Celestial Court, invigorating everyone.

In her dictionary, surrender did not exist!

In just a few months.

Many foreign cultivators arrived in the Kunlun Realm, spreading across the five great domains with intense anticipation.

They came from different worlds; some were Saint Sons or Saint Daughters from certain holy lands, while others were princes or princesses from holy dynasties. Disciples of powerful clans were abound, each with strong backgrounds and diverse identities.

There were barely any Half-Saints present; most were starting from the Celestial Saint level, Ancient Saints were nearly capped, and there were even old monsters at the Saint King level mixed in—an absolute assembly of heroes, hidden dragons, and crouching tigers!

They knew they had no chance for the position of the Divine Court’s young master, so they were merely here to watch the excitement—eager to witness a showdown between the top ten prodigies listed in the Supreme Rankings. After all, this was a rare opportunity to observe!

If they missed it, they’d regret it for the rest of their lives!

In an instant.

Kunlun was bustling with activity and buzzing with energy.

“What on earth is going on? Why have so many terrifying outsiders suddenly appeared in the Kunlun Realm? What are their motives?!”

Countless local cultivators felt uneasy and vaguely sensed impending doom.

There was no way; these outsiders were all incredibly intimidating. Their auras were terrifyingly strong, walking amongst mortals like divine demons. Compared to them, local cultivators were as weak as ants.

Thankfully, these outsiders weren’t on a killing spree or rampaging everywhere; they seemed somewhat restrained, as if held back by a certain power, making them a bit more compliant.

Actually, the reason behind this was simple.

That’s because the foreign cultivators knew that the Kunlun Realm was the territory of the future young master of the Divine Court; just for this reason, they wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.

Not to mention, those who came here were all prominent figures, bullying a bunch of unformed saints would only make them look cheap!

Most of them were just there to watch the show, relishing the Divine Court’s misfortune!

In a luxurious tavern somewhere.

The top floor was completely booked out, and several tall figures in black robes stood quietly, their auras inscrutable.

They were waiting for someone extremely important!

At this moment, a petite figure—only about 1.5 meters tall—dressed in black robes leaned on the railing, gazing out at the scenery.

Beneath the hood was a sweet and delicate doll-like face, with long lashes and red eyes gleaming like amber, sparkling with an otherworldly glow. As if recalling her current situation, a hint of excitement crept across her lips, revealing two adorable little fangs, radiating a charming aura like a mischievous little demoness.

If Ye Junlin were present, he would be shocked to find that this girl was none other than Rosa, the princess of the Asura Clan!
