Chapter 649 - 441: Not Interested in Ascension

"Oh my god! Who is that young man in the sky? He defeated so many powerful masters all by himself! How is this possible?!"

At this moment!

Someone in the crowd watching the spectacle on the ground exclaimed in disbelief!

After witnessing Lin Lang easily defeat so many great masters, he felt like his worldview was shattered—

He was the one who emerged victorious in the first round of the Ascension competition!

Originally!

He thought he was already strong enough, and today’s ascension spot was surely his!

It was indeed the case!

He smoothly defeated all the competitors in the arena and became the sole victor!

But who would have thought!

Just as he was preparing to greet his ascension in the most glorious manner!

The hidden masters behind the scenes appeared!

Their strength was not at the same level as his, so he didn’t even think about attempting it!

As he marveled at the number of strong people in the world and encouraged himself not to give up, perhaps waiting another few millennia!

Lin Lang appeared again!

The masters he deemed absolutely invincible seemed as fragile as chicks in front of Lin Lang!

They had no power to retaliate!

His understanding was refreshed once more—

It turned out there existed such powerful people in the world!

The great masters he saw were as insignificant as ants in others’ eyes!

But at the same time!

This also made him feel a deep sense of defeat!

With a powerful person like Lin Lang around, let alone cultivating for a few thousand years more, even if he cultivated for tens of thousands of years!

He would never catch up to Lin Lang’s pace!

So does his effort still have any meaning?

For a moment.

The flame in his eyes almost extinguished!

And at this time!

A mortal next to him exclaimed:

"Wow buddy! Can you see what’s happening in the sky? You’re really something! We can’t see anything clearly, we’re just here for the fun."

The middle-aged man sighed:

"I’d rather not see it clearly either. Who would have thought there could be such powerful people in the world? I think, for a long time in the future, all cultivators in the world will be overshadowed by that person."

Having such a person standing at the end of the path of cultivation, one doesn’t know if it’s the fortune or misfortune of the world’s cultivators.

The fortunate part is, they now have someone to chase after!

The unfortunate part is, they will never surpass or even come close to such an achievement!

At that moment!

An older voice behind the middle-aged man said:

"I never imagined his strength would be so terrifying. It seems this time, the ascension spot already has its owner."

And hearing that voice!

The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up:

"Yes! No matter how strong that person is, once he ascends, he will no longer be in this world!"

"By then, the people competing with me for the ascension spot will still be these people in front of me!"

"In fact, these great masters might even fall due to depleting their longevity!"

"So my real opponents can only be the cultivators from my current era or the new era!"

"With my qualifications, as long as the opponent isn’t too monstrous, I can win!"

Thinking this way!

He suddenly felt his heart filled with motivation again!

His eyes brightened once more!

...

Meanwhile!

In the sky!

Not far from the Ascension Gate.

Those several great masters, with excited expressions, bowed together to Lin Lang:

"Congratulations to Daoist Lin Lang on your ascension!"

However!

Under their congratulations, Lin Lang just waved his hand:

"I’m not interested in ascension."

"?!"

The great masters were dumbfounded!

Not interested in ascension?

Then why did you come here?

Why did you fight us?

For fun?!
