Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity

---

“So, you know how to choose now, right!”

The Yin Emperor was full of confidence, enticingly adding, “I appreciate you greatly. In the future, we will join forces to govern this universe together!”

Fortunately, he had broken through to Creation Saint those years ago, and he was left with a wisp of Creation Aura that was finally coming in handy.

The Yin Emperor believed there was no way Ye Junlin would reject the allure of becoming a Creation Saint!

After all, this was a Creation Saint!

The pinnacle in the true sense of the Saint Dao!

How many would die dreaming of the Saint Ancestor Realm?

The Empress Fuyao and the others fell silent. If they polluted the Kunlun Realm’s Star Core, they would gain the qualification to become a Creation Saint—that temptation was nearly irresistible!

If given the choice, how many would weigh the pros and cons and choose the latter?

Many cultivators in the Kunlun Realm had complex expressions, feeling it was a severe test of human nature!

Even they thought Ye Junlin might risk the future of the Kunlun Realm for this supreme opportunity.

“Doing that isn’t out of the question,” Emperor Tian spoke gravely, agreeing to Ye Junlin trading the future of the Kunlun Realm for the Creation Aura.

After all, it was better than allowing the Chaos Emperor to become a god and settle scores later, leading to everyone’s demise.

“Yeah, at least it can save the Kunlun Realm. Sure, glory won’t remain, but it’s better than being completely wiped out later!” Luan said seriously.

As onlookers, they thought it was a particularly profitable deal!

There was really no reason to refuse!

Countless people held their breath, waiting for Ye Junlin’s choice.

Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the option mission!

Option One: Agree to the Yin Emperor’s conditions; reward: Creation Saint cultivation level!

Option Two: Refuse the Yin Emperor’s conditions; reward: Imperial-grade Saint Intent!

Suddenly, the system’s prompt sounded in his mind.

Ye Junlin was taken aback, his expression bizarre.

Having the trait that empowered him in the face of strong opposition, did he have to worry about lacking Creation Saint cultivation?

Did you take me for a fool?

Of course, I pick the second option!

With the Imperial-grade Saint Intent!

Naturally, even if there wasn’t such an option, Ye Junlin would still refuse the Yin Emperor’s conditions because he simply didn’t need the help of the Creation Aura!

As his thoughts turned,

Ye Junlin said to the Yin Emperor, “I will not agree to your request.”

As soon as he said this,

Everyone was shocked beyond belief. How could that be?

The expression on the Yin Emperor’s face froze, his inner fury surging!

Why?

Why won’t you agree?!

The Yin Emperor couldn’t understand why Ye Junlin would give up this opportunity.

Clearly, this was an excellent condition!

Yet still, he refused to agree!

Did it have to come to a life-and-death showdown?

The Yin Emperor was very protective of his image because he knew there was a sworn enemy watching.

That’s why he was willing to humble himself and negotiate with Ye Junlin, even offering such a tremendous opportunity as the Creation Aura.

He genuinely hoped that Ye Junlin would cooperate with him to crush the Chaos Emperor’s ambitions!

But now, that vision was shattered.

“Ye Tian Emperor, have you lost your mind?!” the Yin Emperor shouted angrily.

Ye Junlin sneered, “Even if you kneel and beg, I won’t agree. As long as I am here, you can’t touch a hair on the Kunlun Realm.”

Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the option mission; reward: Imperial-grade Saint Intent!

In an instant, the Saint Intent under Ye Junlin’s control directly transformed into Imperial-grade Saint Intent.

Upon hearing this, the Yin Emperor could no longer contain his inner rage; this was nothing short of humiliation!

“Good, very good. I want to see how you stop me!”

The Yin Emperor reached out a large hand, and the dark, shadowy palm struck toward the Kunlun Realm.

He felt Ye Junlin had truly gotten carried away, thinking he could contend with an actual Creation Saint.

Even though his power had only recovered to eighty percent, eliminating a quasi-Creation Saint was still sufficient!

A true Creation Saint possessed unique Creation Power, which could dissolve all external power before that incomparably mysterious force, just like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.

It was that disgusting!

Thus, for Ye Junlin, the Yin Emperor only felt caution, but there was no fear!

The Kunlun Realm trembled violently, as if it couldn’t withstand this terrifyingly godlike power!

Ding, detected that the host is facing an attack from an eight-turn quasi-Creation Saint enemy. Activating the passive effect “Growing Stronger Against the Strong,” gaining Nine-turn Creation Saint cultivation!

The system’s prompt rang out.

Boom!!!

A mysterious aura erupted from Ye Junlin, elevating his life level into a new dimension, making all beings seem like nothing in his eyes.

At this moment, Ye Junlin finally realized why the Yin Emperor and Chaos Emperor were so cold-hearted towards common folk; ultimately, reaching the Creation Saint level really made a huge difference!

Those supreme beings revered by thousands were just slightly larger ants!

With just a flick of a finger, they could erase anything from existence!

“You… you are a Creation Saint?!!”

Sensing this kind of aura, the Yin Emperor looked as if he had seen something unbelievable, losing his voice.

This was too hard to believe.

Clearly, the sole path to becoming a Creation Saint was blocked by him and the Chaos Emperor, so how could anyone else break through?

The most absurd part was that this cultivation level was even slightly higher than his!

That was a Nine-turn Creation Saint—how did he silently cultivate to this level?

Creation Saints were divided into one to nine turns. Just reaching the first turn would significantly enhance one’s power.

And the Nine-turn Creation Saint was already the ceiling of Creation Saint!

The Yin Emperor suddenly felt like he was dreaming; it all felt utterly unreal!

At that moment,

The black palm print was exploded by a golden fist force, turning into a shower of black starlight.

Everyone was dumbfounded, their minds buzzing.

What did they just see?

Ye Tian Emperor was actually the legendary Creation Saint too?

With this, the entire universe would have three Creation Saints!

Emperor Tian and the others were utterly dumbfounded, lost in thought.

This man had already broken through to Creation Saint!

Wait, wasn’t it said that one had to have Creation Aura to break through? Or did he acquire it long ago?

When they saw Ye Junlin revealing his identity as a Creation Saint, everyone found it hard to grasp!

But regardless, this was a monumental event!

Compared to the Yin Emperor and Chaos Emperor, who brought conflicts to the universe, the Ye Tian Emperor, who brought peace and stability to beings, won the hearts of the people even more.

So, the stronger Ye Junlin displayed himself to be, the happier they became!

Those cultivators who previously thought Ye Junlin would agree to the conditions felt incredibly ashamed; it turned out he had already reached such heights and looked down upon the Creation Aura offered by the Yin Emperor.

“Ye Daoist Friend, we sure are deep in hiding…” Empress Fuyao lamented.

Compared to him, her own talents seemed trivial!

Elder Changsheng grumbled, “Who’s to say otherwise? I’m very curious as to how he broke through to Creation Saint without anyone noticing.”

At this moment,

Ye Junlin stepped out, arriving in the outer realm. His figure changed, becoming even taller than the Yin Emperor, radiating immense pressure.

Those golden eyes, like a god’s, looked mockingly at the other, as if sizing up a prey that had walked into a trap.

He sneered, “You shouldn’t have come; you could have at least survived a little longer.”

The Yin Emperor, recovering from his shock, roared in rage, “So you were deliberately waiting for me to show up!”

He finally understood why the other seemed so indifferent; it was because he was armed with unparalleled power!

In the next second,

Enraged, the Yin Emperor launched a punch without holding back, the terrifying fist force transforming into the shape of a ghostly dragon, shaking the endless starry sky as it charged towards Ye Junlin to devour him.

This was one of his ultimate moves, the Ghostly Divine Dragon Fist!

“Heh.”

Ye Junlin directly unleashed the Emperor’s Fist, an overwhelming fist light colliding with the Ghostly Divine Dragon Fist.

Boom boom boom~!!!

The universe trembled, and all domains quaked with fear!

The Yin Emperor and Ye Junlin erupted into a fierce clash, a scene that was nothing short of breathtaking.

“Dark Domain!”

In an instant, the vast starry sky fell into darkness, boundless coldness and gloom enveloped Ye Junlin, filled with a sense of death and despair.

This was the Yin Emperor’s divine ability; within this domain, his strength would rise significantly, whereas his enemies’ strength would be suppressed!

Ye Junlin frowned, indeed feeling that his strength was diminished.

It seemed this guy had some tricks up his sleeve!

The Yin Emperor coldly said, “Ye Tian Emperor, now that things have escalated to this point, why don’t we both step back? You’ve seen that I’m not someone you can easily kill.”

He truly didn’t want to be an easy target for the Chaos Emperor, so he wanted to force Ye Junlin to compromise.

Ye Junlin sneered, “What are you thinking? Today is your doomsday!”

As soon as he said this, it extinguished the Yin Emperor’s glimmer of hope; he furiously shouted, “You’re the one looking to die!”

The Yin Emperor was all in; no matter the final result, he wanted to drag Ye Junlin down with him!

Roar…

The resounding Dragon Roar echoed throughout the starry sky.

Nine heads, looking menacing, colossal evil dragons bearing terrifying Ghostly Power, all emerged from behind the Yin Emperor, clawing at Ye Junlin.

Their momentum was unstoppable, exuding a world-ending might!

“Celestial Emperor’s Apparition!”

Faced with such a situation, Ye Junlin activated the Celestial Emperor’s Apparition, and the once invisible power pressing upon him instantly dissipated. He unleashed the Emperor’s Fist again, enhanced by the Celestial Emperor’s Apparition, maximizing the power of the Emperor’s Fist to an unprecedented degree!

Bang bang bang bang~

In an instant, the nine-headed evil dragons were obliterated by an overwhelming force; Ye Junlin propelled the Emperor’s Fist toward the Yin Emperor.

Swish!

The countless fist lights shimmered, reflecting the Yin Emperor’s terrified expression.

Soon,

With a thunderous boom, the entire Dark Domain couldn’t withstand the massive impact and collapsed, vast energy waves ravaging outward.

The Yin Emperor spat blood, his eyes filled with profound fear!

“With this level of skill, it’s not enough to take my life.”

Ye Junlin mocked, pummeling the Yin Emperor repeatedly, bringing the other’s body to the brink of ruin, hot Holy Blood splattering across the starry sea, causing countless planets to melt away rapidly.

To outsiders, it seemed the Yin Emperor was being wholly suppressed! Against Ye Junlin’s offensive, he had no power to fight back!
