Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 292

“Paradise Realm…” The Sea Whale Ancestor stared at the blonde young man as if he remembered something, his demeanor suddenly tense, “You are from the Bright Clan of Paradise Realm!”

Seeing this reaction, the Electric Eel King and his companions were secretly shocked; the tone held a hint of hostility!

“Your Excellency is indeed a powerful being from ancient times; the knowledge you possess is vast,” Situ Yan said calmly.

“Hmph! You dared to sneak in at this time; I know exactly what kind of wicked intentions you have!” the Sea Whale Ancestor sneered.

“Hey, you old fossil, watch your tone when you speak to my young master!” the Tall Man behind Situ Yan said in a deep voice.

“Exactly! Did you think the Kunlun Realm was still glorious? Nowadays, the Kunlun Realm can’t even make it into the top hundred of the Divine Court world rankings!” sneered the Thin Man next to him.

The Sea Whale Ancestor fell into silence.

In the past, as a being from the Kunlun Realm, he could look down on the Paradise Realm, but unfortunately, the Kunlun Realm had suffered a great catastrophe. Even though it had entered a recovery period, catching up was still very difficult.

But now, the second-largest world in the Divine Court had fallen so low that it couldn’t even break into the top hundred; this stark contrast weighed heavily on the Sea Whale Ancestor’s heart.

Seeing the Sea Whale Ancestor’s spirit being suppressed, the two guards showed smug smiles.

“Do not be rude; this is our ally!” Situ Yan said coldly.

The Sea Whale Ancestor raised an eyebrow, “Ally? Who agreed to cooperate with you?!”

Situ Yan took his time, saying, “I believe you know well that besides you, there are many resurgents out there. The main point is that you are Sea Clan, while the Human Race is the representative major clan of the Kunlun Realm. As the recovery of the Kunlun Realm intensifies, conflicts are bound to happen.”

“But by cooperating with me to eliminate them, my Bright Clan will rule the Kunlun Realm, and you will be the number one contributor.”

“What a bold claim!” The Sea Whale Ancestor narrowed his eyes, “Are you suggesting I betray the Kunlun Realm?”

“Betray?”

“What is betrayal?”

“There’s an old saying: ‘People rise toward higher ground, water flows downward.’”

“Now, the Kunlun Realm has turned into a coveted prize for all the races of the starry skies, and you think the Kunlun Realm beings have many paths left to walk?”

“My Bright Clan is the overlord of the Paradise Realm, ranked second in the Divine Court. Even the Lord of the Divine Court wouldn’t dare to underestimate us. And you, as part of the Kunlun Realm, cooperating with me is akin to cooperating with the Divine Court. Why should there be any issues?”

After hearing this,

the Sea Whale Ancestor’s expression darkened.

He felt a deep sadness; the once-mighty Kunlun Realm had fallen to such a state, coveted by the myriad races of the starry skies, while the Paradise Realm, which used to be beneath him, had now taken the Kunlun Realm’s place in the Divine Court as second.

“The Divine Court? You still have the face to bring that up? When the Nine Nether Coalition attacked the Kunlun Realm, where was the Divine Court?! Now you show up to peddle connections, you guys really have thick skins!”

The Sea Whale Ancestor exclaimed in anger.

Boom!

A terrifying aura burst forth from him, and the surrounding water swirled chaotically around him.

“Ancestor, please calm your anger!” The Electric Eel King and the others were terrified and prostrated themselves, trembling.

The Tall Man and the Thin Man looked at each other in surprise, clearly intimidated by the Sea Whale Ancestor.

Suddenly,

Situ Yan stepped forward expressionlessly, a golden halo over his head radiating a blazing golden light that matched the Sea Whale Ancestor’s imposing presence, creating a standoff.

In fact, it seemed he was even slightly overpowering the Sea Whale Ancestor!

“Hm?”

Realizing the severity of the situation, the Sea Whale Ancestor’s assessment of the danger posed by this blonde young man rose several ranks.

“Please remain calm; during your long slumber, the universe’s situation has changed rapidly. The levels of the Four Absolutes of your Kunlun Realm are now matched by top hundred worlds, where strong beings can be found! Now, can you imagine how far behind the Kunlun Realm has fallen?”

Situ Yan said nonchalantly.

“W-What? That’s impossible!”

The Sea Whale Ancestor was utterly astonished.

If this was true, the external situation was truly terrifying!

After all, the reason the Kunlun Realm stood firmly in second place in the Divine Court was that it had birthed four beings who were above the Immortal Emperors.

This was the Kunlun Realm’s undeniable prestige!

So, upon hearing the information revealed by Situ Yan, it was no wonder the Sea Whale Ancestor reacted so strongly.

Now, the top hundred worlds of the Divine Court all had existences above the level of Immortal Emperors?

The Sea Whale Ancestor felt an intense chill run down his spine.

“If that’s the case, then why don’t they just…” the Sea Whale Ancestor stammered.

“Because beings of that level have reached an agreement behind the scenes, and now, whether it’s Nine Nether or the Divine Court, they can only send beings at the Immortal level to participate in the conflict over the Kunlun Realm.”

“So, the Kunlun Realm is fortunate but also unfortunate!”

“Think it over carefully; as long as you reach a cooperation with us, once accomplished you will be the Sea Clan’s leader and also the spokesperson for my Bright Clan. Your position in the Kunlun Realm will be unshakable!”

Situ Yan’s demeanor was calm, but the more serene he seemed, the stronger the oppressive feeling he emitted.

The muscles on the Sea Whale Ancestor’s face twitched, the last remnants of his pride and persistence being thoroughly shattered by the other’s final words.

What else could he do?

Right now, the Kunlun Realm was surrounded by strong enemies; being occupied was merely a matter of time. It might be better to find a new partner in advance; perhaps he could soar to new heights!

“Alright, I agree…”

“Congratulations on making a wise choice.”

Situ Yan maintained his composure, looking as if he had anticipated this.

The two guards behind him exchanged knowing smiles.

“This isn’t the place for negotiations; please follow me to the Royal Palace, where we can discuss the upcoming cooperation in detail,” the Sea Whale Ancestor adjusted his mood and spoke with much more respect.

“Sure.” Situ Yan nodded.

At this moment, the Electric Eel King timidly raised his hand, “Ancestor, actually, we have something important to report to you.”

The Sea Whale Ancestor frowned, “Speak!”

“There’s a Human Race prodigy from the Heavenly Daughter Country who recently broke the magical sea shell you left for me, and the Sea Clan lost eighty thousand elite warriors because of this! Since it’s a significant matter, we wanted you to make the final decision!” said the Electric Eel King.

“Yeah, and that guy also took my most precious item! He cooked it and ate it!”

The Tiger Shark Commander couldn’t help but cry out in injustice.

Situ Yan and the others: “?”

“That Human Race resurgent, how ruthless…” The Sea Whale Ancestor’s muscles twitched, and his complexion turned green.

When he woke up, he had specifically given the Electric Eel King a treasure containing part of his power, which could be activated to unleash strength equivalent to the fifth level of an Immortal King.

His intention was to accelerate the Sea Clan’s control over Phoenix Sound State and intimidate other resurgents hiding in the shadows.

He never expected that the Heavenly Daughter Country had a Human Race resurgent who effortlessly cracked his treasure!

This was simply an outright slap in the face!

“Hmph, daring to oppose me; they must be tired of living!” The Sea Whale Ancestor fumed.

After just waking up, he couldn’t wait to unleash a massacre to fulfill his long-suppressed bloodlust.

Most importantly, with Situ Yan and the others present, the Sea Whale Ancestor knew he had to showcase his abilities to prove his worth!

But who would have thought,

Situ Yan waved his hand, “This little matter doesn’t require you to take action personally; let my guards handle it.”

“Guli, you go personally and take care of that Human Race resurgent!”

The Tall Man with a robust frame and silver halo atop his head bowed respectfully, “Yes!”
