Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 297

“Xuantian Sect, Ye Junlin,” Ye Junlin introduced himself briefly.

“Ye Junlin?”

The Sea Whale Ancestor furrowed his brow, racking his brain for the names of various ancient powerful beings, but couldn’t recall one named Ye Junlin.

Could it be that he was just uninformed?

Or was this young man a rising genius from the contemporary Kunlun Realm?

Noticing that Ye Junlin’s cultivation level was at the sixth layer of the Immortal King Realm, the Sea Whale Ancestor couldn’t help but feel increasingly incredulous.

The revival phase of the Kunlun Realm had only just begun, and someone from the Human Race had already reached such a level?

What kind of outrageous cultivation speed was this?!

The Sea Whale Ancestor preferred to believe that it was his ignorance that prevented him from recognizing the other party’s origin.

But the problem was, cultivators who had been sealed and slept since ancient times carried some special aura, and it was this that allowed the Sea Whale Ancestor to sense that many revivers were hiding in the Central Region.

Now, facing Ye Junlin, who lacked that kind of aura, the Sea Whale Ancestor felt thoroughly astonished.

After some deliberation, the Sea Whale Ancestor straightforwardly asked, “May I inquire whether you had a dojo in ancient times?”

After all, any being who had cultivated to the Immortal King level in ancient times would have had their own dojo. The Sea Whale Ancestor asked this to clarify Ye Junlin’s origins.

His gaze was fixed on the silver-haired young man, trying to glean something from his expression.

In response, Ye Junlin simply smiled lightly and said, “Guess.”

The two words were thrown out simply and bluntly.

The Sea Whale Ancestor felt a vein throb in his forehead, snapping back, “Am I a child? Guess!”

He realized that this guy was clearly toying with him.

Boom!

An overwhelming aura erupted from him, and the surrounding sea currents felt stifled, while countless sea clan beings felt a choking sensation in their chests, desperately trying to escape this perilous place.

“This old guy is really strong,” Li Wujie felt his scalp tingle.

Hong Qianye remained silent, casting a cold glare at the Electric Eel King and the others, making sure the seafood they were about to eat didn’t sneak away.

“I haven’t eaten a human raw in many years; a being like you at the Immortal King level is indeed a delicacy in my eyes!”

A bloodthirsty light flashed in the Sea Whale Ancestor’s eyes as he raised his hand, engulfed in vast energy, and reached out towards the young man below.

Swish! Endless streams of water converged to form a gigantic hand, radiating terrifying energy fluctuations, aiming to suppress its target in one fell swoop!

As an Immortal King at the eighth layer, the Sea Whale Ancestor was confident he could subdue Ye Junlin with one hand!

Feeling the immense pressure closing in, Ye Junlin’s lips curled up even more, and a familiar system notification echoed in his mind:

“Ding! Detected host encountering an attack from an Immortal King at the eighth layer, triggering passive effect ‘Grow stronger when facing strong opponents,’ gaining cultivation level of Immortal King at the ninth layer!”

Boom…

A top-tier Immortal King aura erupted from Ye Junlin, as if he was just a step away from breaking through to the Immortal Emperor level.

At this moment, his eyes sparkled brightly, his skin radiating a resplendent glow, almost as if forged from undying divine gold.

“Hehe.”

Ye Junlin casually extended his finger and lightly poked.

Crash!

The azure hand instantly crumbled, swirling back into water.

The Sea Whale Ancestor was struck by thunder, barely managing to suppress the shock on his face, and after a moment of emotional turmoil, he solemnly said, “So this is your true cultivation level.”

To say he wasn’t surprised would be a lie; he thought that after a period of seclusion and training, he would hold an absolute advantage in cultivation level, yet someone had popped out so soon to slap him in the face!

“You’re right, but…” Ye Junlin’s smile was profound, “Not entirely right.”

The Sea Whale Ancestor’s brows furrowed, “What do you mean?”

“Guess!”

Hearing those two words again.

“Damn…” The Sea Whale Ancestor nearly spat blood, the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitching uncontrollably.

So you think it’s fun to toy with me, huh?

“What if it’s the Immortal King at the ninth layer? I have killed such beings before!”

“Surging Waves Crushing Mountain Palm!”

The Sea Whale Ancestor, furious, his hands moving like flowing water, immediately unleashed two surging waves of palm energy.

Fighting underwater, he had a natural advantage, making his attack stronger than it would be on land!

“Break!”

Ye Junlin spoke, and the two oncoming waves of palm energy instantly turned to nothing, as if he hadn’t even lifted a finger.

The Sea Whale Ancestor’s expression shifted; fury replaced his initial shock, as blue gas surrounded him, gathering countless blue gases onto his right fist.

“Angry Whale Shaking Heaven Fist!”

At the moment he punched, a massive whale-shaped fist imprint surged forward, emitting ear-splitting whale cries that resounded throughout the underwater world.

“Heavens!” The Electric Eel King and the others were so scared they crouched on the ground, hugging their heads and trembling.

This kind of might was absolutely terrifying!

Situ Yan, watching from a distance, felt slightly moved, muttering a few words, “Supreme Law.”

The Supreme Law was worlds apart from the Great Immortal Law; no wonder the Sea Whale Ancestor felt so confident. This level of power indeed qualified him for cooperation.

“In terms of fists, I’ve never lost!”

Ye Junlin took on an ancient boxing stance, a dazzling golden halo appearing behind him, a powerful fist glowing like a blazing sun being born.

Battle Saint Fist!

Soon, the vast, ancient golden fist imprint, infused with the aura of invincibility, flew toward the blue fist imprint resembling a whale, resulting in a violent clash.

Boom! Terrifying energy fluctuations rippled across the seabed, the entire royal city collapsing into ruins in mere seconds.

Shattered stones flew everywhere, and many weaker sea clan beings were directly killed by the aftershocks, their corpses scattered around.

“Ugh…” Blood dripped from the Sea Whale Ancestor’s lips, and he was sent flying like a cannonball, heavily crashing to the ground with a dull explosion.

He staggered to his feet, his entire arm battered and bleeding, staring at the figure of the young man with a mix of intense suspicion and shock in his eyes.

“What level of boxing technique is this?”

The Sea Whale Ancestor had initially been very confident because battles among cultivators weren’t just about levels; they also depended on the divine abilities mastered.

The ‘Angry Whale Shaking Heaven Fist’ he had just unleashed was an extremely rare Supreme Law!

Though it was at the initial level, after countless years of training, he had reached a remarkable mastery.

Never did he expect he’d be crushed.

If it weren’t for his innate strong physique, that punch would have blown him to pieces!

Situ Yan’s eyelids twitched a few times; the frightening boxing technique he had just witnessed left even him feeling immense pressure.

If he were to face that punch, he would surely find himself in dire straits.

“Could it be that this is a Supreme Law?” he pondered this possibility but quickly dismissed it, convincing himself he was just scaring himself.

Because Supreme Laws were extremely rare and very difficult to cultivate, he preferred to believe that Ye Junlin had unleashed a top-tier Supreme Law.

“Young Master, should we help?” The lean man swallowed hard, no longer daring to underestimate the strong ones from the Kunlun Realm.

This Immortal King from the Human Race was indeed ferocious, no wonder Guli met his end at his hands.

Situ Yan remained silent for a good ten seconds, before finally squeezing out a difficult reply through clenched teeth, “Let’s just observe…”

Having witnessed the Sea Whale Ancestor getting pounded, his desire to intervene lessened significantly!

Above, Ye Junlin walked over casually, looking down at the Sea Whale Ancestor, who was coughing up blood, with a playful expression, “Shall we continue?”

The Sea Whale Ancestor found it hard to accept the reality; he understood that in terms of both cultivation and divine power, he was thoroughly suppressed by the young man, who had brought an unfathomable sensation from the very beginning.

“You think I will admit defeat? Back in the day, I could roam the North Sea Region freely and stand out among all the Immortal Kings—not just because of this little trick.”

The Sea Whale Ancestor chuckled coldly, “Here, this is my home turf!”

With his hair disheveled, he spread his arms, uttering an ancient call:

“Old buddy, come out!”

The voice contained a mighty Immortal Power, penetrating the sea’s depths, awakening an unknown ancient existence.
