Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 291

“Hmm?”

The Electric Eel King widened his eyes, looking quite strange. “You didn’t lose that, did you?”

A few youthful and attractive river clam girls were sizing up the Tiger Shark Commander with peculiar gazes.

The Tiger Shark Commander lamented, “I lost it! Really lost it! This is something extremely precious for our Shark Clan!”

“Hiss~”

The Electric Eel King gasped, his eyes showing a bit more sympathy.

“Tiger Shark Commander, weren’t you leading 800,000 Sea Clan elite soldiers to attack the Heavenly Daughter Country? How did you end up in this situation?!” his colleagues looked on in disbelief.

Speaking of this, the Tiger Shark Commander grew indignant. “The intel was wrong! The Imperial Palace of the Heavenly Daughter Country not only had the Red Demon stationed there, but also his Master! His Master is a powerful Human, able to easily nullify the Magical Sea Conch, and in the end, Pingxi Wang self-destructed and died, leaving all 800,000 Sea Clan soldiers wiped out!”

“What did you say?!!”

Everyone was shocked, their faces filled with disbelief at the news.

You have to understand, that Magical Sea Conch was a treasure bestowed by the Sea Whale Ancestor, containing Immortal King level destruction capability, and yet that Human powerhouse was able to easily dispel it.

This showed that his cultivation level could rival that of the Sea Whale Ancestor!

“This is impossible…” the Electric Eel King found it hard to accept, sweat beads forming on his forehead as he bit his lip hard.

A Human like that actually existed? And he had previously been dreaming of dominating the land?!

“Wait a second, how could he let you go?” The Electric Eel King suddenly turned cold, glaring at the Tiger Shark Commander who had narrowly escaped death.

So many of your brothers lost their lives; why were you the one to come back?

Something is definitely off!

A chilling killing intent permeated the air.

The Tiger Shark Commander realized something was wrong and stammered, “Let me explain; it’s all because that Human powerhouse valued the most precious thing on me, which is why he agreed to let me go.”

“You mean that thing was taken by him?” The Electric Eel King was taken aback, chills running down his spine.

“Um…” The Tiger Shark Commander’s eyes were red, looking like an aggrieved little bride.

“But what does he want that thing for?” The Electric Eel King’s little brain almost shriveled up, wondering if he should reconsider this Human species.

This couldn’t be some kind of twisted collector’s obsession, could it?!

Upon hearing this, the Tiger Shark Commander showed pain on his face and cried out, “Wuwu, it seems he wanted to turn it into food and eat it…”

“This!”

The Electric Eel King couldn’t help but shiver, frantically clenching his backside, a face full of horror.

The other commanders turned pale, instinctively covering their own… you know, the location.

Humans were that terrifying?

They would eat anything?!

If that’s the case, if they ever fell into their hands, death would be preferable!

Looking at his sorrowful subordinates, the Electric Eel King sighed and patted the Tiger Shark Commander sympathetically, trying to comfort him:

“Shark Wall, I understand your pain, but now that thing is gone, you should just let it go.”

“Just avoid the Mother Sharks from now on! Be strong!”

His sobbing abruptly stopped.

The Tiger Shark Commander looked up blankly, “Sea King, why should I avoid the Mother Sharks? I’m a normal male shark!”

“The problem is, without that thing, how are you supposed to do anything?”

“Use my tongue?”

The Electric Eel King replied with annoyance.

“Hehe~” A few river clam girls covered their mouths, giggling as if they got it.

The Tiger Shark Commander was very frustrated. “Sea King, you must have misunderstood; I was talking about shark fins! All four of mine were taken by the Humans, and they must have eaten them!”

“That’s the most precious thing for our Shark Clan!” the Tiger Shark Commander said angrily.

Electric Eel King: “???”

So it was all a misunderstanding because my mind was in the gutter!

You’re something else, aren’t you?

No wonder they call you Shark Wall; you truly live up to the name!

“I see.” The other commanders breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of their fears.

“Sea King, what should we do now? Should we really just swallow this anger?” one of the subordinates asked.

“You’re asking me? Who the hell should I ask?!”

The Electric Eel King was furious, lightning flickering in his eyes, arcs of electricity dancing over his skin.

The Magical Sea Conch was already his greatest asset, and now that Human powerhouse had easily dispelled it—talk about hitting a brick wall! Painful as hell!

Rumble rumble~

At that moment, the palace shook violently.

Not just the palace, countless underwater cities were affected by this tremor that felt like an earthquake.

Many members of the Sea Clan were scared and panicked, vaguely sensing some ancient and powerful presence materializing, instinctively bowing in a particular direction.

“Great! It’s the Sea Whale Ancestor emerging from his seclusion!” The Electric Eel King sensed a familiar aura, overjoyed.

Only he could break this deadlock!

In a cave dwelling two thousand miles away, an unmatched, tall black-haired Old Man with an expressionless face stepped out.

His eyes were as deep as the sea, filled with authority, dressed in blue robes adorned with wave patterns.

Buzz buzz buzz~

As this blue-robed Old Man emerged from the cave, an overwhelming aura surged forth, turning nearby corals, sea plants, and shells to dust.

“After a period of closed-door cultivation, my cultivation has improved somewhat; while not at my peak, in the Eighth Sky of the Immortal King realm, I can still look down on contemporary cultivators.”

The Sea Whale Ancestor mused.

As a top Immortal King level being from the ancient Kunlun Realm, he had sealed himself away in slumber to avoid competing for resources in the Immortal Realm, waiting for the Kunlun Realm to revive before seizing opportunities.

At the time, this decision was quite bold and reckless.

He had no idea when the Kunlun Realm would revive; it might even continue to decline forever, in which case he would be doomed.

But if the Kunlun Realm did revive, as a former Immortal King level powerhouse returning to the world, wouldn’t he be able to exert dominance?

With that hope, the Sea Whale Ancestor decided to take a gamble and eventually waited for the revival opportunity, emerging from his seal, eager to display his might and dominate the contemporary Kunlun Realm.

Only to find that many strong beings had made the same choice!

They all wanted to lay low for a bit and then come out to show off their power!

Because of this, the Sea Whale Ancestor nearly broke down on the spot.

What was supposed to be a journey to the Immortal Realm for development turned into everyone sticking around!

Do you still have any shame?!

After all, back in the day, the Kunlun Realm was filled with Immortals, and the Sea Whale Ancestor, as an Immortal King level being, could barely be considered a notable powerhouse among many. If he had gone to the Immortal Realm, he would still be caught up in the competition.

The Sea Whale Ancestor had been grinding for almost a lifetime and was tired of the grind, so he sought a shortcut to rise in the future Kunlun Realm.

Unexpectedly, many ancient powerhouses shared the same thoughts!

At this point, the Sea Whale Ancestor could only accept this reality and even consoled himself that at least the competition pressure was much lower.

After all, many of the major figures back then had gone to the Immortal Realm!

But the Sea Whale Ancestor still felt uneasy and had been focusing solely on closed-door cultivation until his cultivation improved a bit, thinking it was time to take formal action.

In the current world, the laws dictate that the Immortal King realm is the limit, and his cultivation is at the Eighth Sky of the Immortal King, already touching the upper ceiling; it’s this advantage that gave the Sea Whale Ancestor the confidence to venture out!

“Next, it’s time for me to showcase my ambitions.” The Sea Whale Ancestor stroked his beard lightly, sharp light flashing in his eyes.

Swish swish swish~

Figures rushed over in a flurry, hurriedly cupping their hands in respect, “We pay our respects to the Ancestor!”

Especially the Electric Eel King, who flatteringly complimented, “Congratulations, Ancestor, on achieving mastery in your Divine Technique; from now on, you alone will reign in the Kunlun Realm!”

The Sea Whale Ancestor waved his hand. “No need for exaggeration.”

Though it was flattery, the Sea Whale Ancestor found it quite pleasing, immediately feeling like he was basking in spring sunshine, his mood greatly lifted.

He looked at the electric eel spirit, nodding in approval.

Not bad, quite emotional intelligence!

Just then, a calm voice arose, devoid of any emotional fluctuations: “You’ve finally emerged from your seclusion.”

“Who?!”

The Sea Whale Ancestor frowned, his uncertain gaze sweeping over.

He was quite surprised; there was actually an Immortal King level powerhouse here? And three at that!

Boom!

With a monstrous imposing force sweeping in, three figures landed before him. The one leading was a handsome young man, golden halo above his head, pure white and sacred wings on his back, his eyes cold and indifferent, looking down at the masses.

“Let me introduce myself; my name is Situ Yan, from the Heavenly Realm.”
