Hearing what Chu Sheng said, Li San and Zhang Si were both stunned.
The words they had meant to use to urge Chu Sheng to flee were swallowed back down in shock.
It felt as though they had heard something utterly unbelievable.
What did he mean, summon an Ascension Realm expert!?
One had to know that across the entire starry sea, the strongest known experts were Immortal Realm Immortal Venerables.
Ascension Realm?
That was something that existed only in legends.
It was not even the name of a concrete realm.
Ascending in broad daylight, breaking free from the Three Realms and Five Elements, leaping beyond the cycle of the Great Dao—those were merely the fantasies of ordinary people.
Even the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord was filled with disbelief upon hearing this.
"Master, what did you just say? What Ascension Realm!?"
Chu Sheng glanced at him.
"What, didn't you say you were once a major figure in your own right? You've never even heard of the Ascension Realm?"
At those words, the shock in the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord's voice was instantly replaced by embarrassment.
"M-Master, you may not know this, but when I roamed the starry sea in my day, the strongest people I ever encountered were merely old monsters of the Immortal Realm!"
"To me, the Ascension Realm was also something I had only heard of, never truly seen."
"From what Master just said, could it be that you can summon an Ascension Realm expert?"
Chu Sheng raised his eyes, his gilt-gold gaze casually sweeping across the heavens.
"Why couldn't it be that your master has ascended to the Ascension Realm himself?"
"Hah." The Demon Lord could not help but snort softly.
So he had overthought it.
He had thought Chu Sheng could truly summon an Ascension Realm expert.
After all
