Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 309

When those words left his mouth, the Snow Wolf King instantly stopped howling. His sharp eyes were filled with fury as he gritted his teeth, demanding, “Who? Who dares to call this king a dog! Step forward if you have the guts!”

He was in an excited state, only to hear someone call him a dog, which infuriated the Snow Wolf King, wiping away all excitement and replacing it with a tidal wave of killing intent.

“What are you barking like a dog for? I ask you, what are you barking like a dog for?!”

On the other side of the loft, Ye Junlin walked out, visibly displeased, and scrutinized the Snow Wolf King from head to toe, questioning him.

Boom~

A terrifying aura erupted from the Snow Wolf King, spreading wildly like a storm.

His eyes burned with raging anger, fixated on Ye Junlin, his deep voice rumbling like a beast, “Human Race! You’re asking for death!”

The Snow Wolf King didn’t expect that, given his noble status, he would face such a vicious insult.

“Senior, please help me! This beast came in and stole my treasure!” Ding Zhen rushed over as if he saw a great savior, complaining.

“Oh?”

Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow, his gaze landing on the Ice Spirit Immortal Pearl clutched tightly in the Snow Wolf King’s paw, his disdain evident as he said, “Not only barking like a dog, but also robbing others!”

The Snow Wolf King, once again humiliated, had veins bulging on his forehead and, in a fit of rage, was about to strike.

At that moment, a red figure surrounded by flames descended from the sky.

It was Hong Qianye.

“It’s you!”

The Snow Wolf King froze, recognizing this person well. With her profound immortal cultivation, she could unleash strength rivaling that of an Immortal King—truly a rare prodigy.

Hong Qianye squinted, eyeing this beast-human hybrid creature. “It seems you’ve become Ku Wuchang’s backing.”

“Heh, you mean that demon cultivator? I no longer need him. In fact, I have to thank you. If you hadn’t tested that guy’s limits, I wouldn’t have dared to take action,” the Snow Wolf King sneered coldly.

As the mastermind behind it all, he had achieved what he desired, feeling as if he had just won a battle—claiming not to be lofty would be a lie.

“Hmph, what’s so great about that broken pearl? I could suppress it with my own strength before, and I can still do it now!” Hong Qianye’s hair danced wildly, her aura rising with every moment.

“Heh, what if I told you that this trash can’t unleash even one-tenth of the Ice Spirit Immortal Pearl’s power?”

The Snow Wolf King said meaningfully.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the ice-blue pearl, exuding mystical immortal energy, was swallowed whole by him.

Boom~!!

In an instant, the Snow Wolf King’s eyes burst forth with chilling light, releasing an overwhelming cold air, akin to a storm sweeping in all directions.

Wherever he went, thick layers of ice formed, many buildings quickly turned into ice sculptures, shimmering with a crystalline glow.

“This…”

Hong Qianye felt a chill run through her body, her eyes revealing shock.

“Don’t worry, you’re a rare talent of the Human Race. This king will freeze you forever as a collection.”

The Snow Wolf King smirked cruelly, slowly extending a finger, with boundless ice power swirling around it.

Swish!

The ice power transformed into a vortex, enveloping Hong Qianye, the vast cold energy limitless, capable of freezing the void along the way.

“Red Lotus Hellfire!”

Hong Qianye unleashed her strongest move, conjuring a fiery lotus flower filled with destructive energy, the roaring heat melting the surrounding cold ice.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…

Ice and fire collided violently, both forces in intense conflict, vast amounts of mist occupying the sky, looking bleakly white.

“Not good!”

In just a few seconds, having poured all her strength into the attack, Hong Qianye felt a significant gap in power; frost began to form on her skin, freezing her to the bone.

She felt colder and colder, frost hanging onto her brows, her body on the verge of becoming an ice sculpture.

“How does it feel? This is just a small part of my power!” the Snow Wolf King boasted.

Suddenly, the supposedly precarious Hong Qianye erupted with terrifying immortal power fluctuations, the dying Red Lotus Hellfire in her hand visibly swelling like a small sun shining brightly.

Boom boom boom, the scorching heat surged like an unending river, overpowering the rolling cold.

“What?!” The sudden reversal left the Snow Wolf King’s expression drastically changing.

Hong Qianye showed happiness, turning to the young man standing behind her, gratefully exclaiming, “Thank you, Master!”

She saw Ye Junlin’s right hand pressed against Hong Qianye’s back, continuously feeding her a flow of pure, powerful immortal energy.

“With me here, just let it out,” Ye Junlin smiled.

“Yes!”

Hong Qianye held her breath, feeling like a furnace, completely unafraid of the waves of cold sweeping towards her.

“Damn it, turns out this guy is a revivalist…” At that moment, the Snow Wolf King finally sensed Ye Junlin’s cultivation level, realizing he was an Immortal King at the ninth level.

After all, only ancient powerhouses could reach such heights in this era.

Under normal circumstances, it was already rare for contemporary cultivators to reach the profound immortal realm!

Rumble rumble…

Before countless shocked gazes, an ice and fire standoff occurred in fierce opposition.

The weather was severely impacted; sometimes piercing cold winds howled, snowflakes danced, and sometimes blistering heat overwhelmed, making it unbearable.

Due to the advantage of elemental restraint, along with Ye Junlin’s backing, Hong Qianye astonishingly began her counterattack, turning the oppressive situation around, charging forward fiercely.

“You guys…”

The Snow Wolf King was full of disbelief, staring wide-eyed as the surging flames filled his vision, transforming into an overwhelming sea of fire that engulfed him, followed by a tremendous explosion and scalding waves expanding outward.

The once damaged ground was blackened.

“Success.”

Hong Qianye was exhausted to the point of nearly collapsing, managing to say.

If it weren’t for her special constitution, having endured chaotic level trials of the Eight Nine Lightning Tribulation, any ordinary profound immortal would have long since been bodied with a wrecked foundation from such torment.

Ye Junlin shook his head, “Not so simple, that dog is still alive.”

Thud thud thud!

Heavy footsteps resonated.

Terrifying flames swiftly extinguished, the ground thickly coated with frosty ice, pristine and transparent.

The Snow Wolf King emerged, exuding massive aggression, his eyes filled with blood-red light, looking extremely menacing, now clad in magnificent ice frost armor, fully equipped, gleaming with brilliant ice-blue light.

Swish, the storm-like pressure instantly spread out, causing Ding Zhen and the others to turn ashen, trembling in fear.

The Snow Wolf King’s aura was immensely powerful, his eyes locked onto Ye Junlin, coldly stating, “Although you possess great cultivation, you shouldn’t oppose me. With the Ice Spirit Immortal Pearl, I am destined to be invincible in the current Kunlun Realm!”

He certainly had the qualifications to say this; in this state, the Snow Wolf King’s strength could even rival an Immortal Emperor, thanks to the Ice Spirit Immortal Pearl.

“Mm?”

Ye Junlin’s eyes flashed with intrigue.

The aura emanating from his opponent was significantly stronger than that of the Sea Whale Ancestor, making him the strongest foe Ye Junlin had encountered thus far.

“Now, prepare to die!”

The Snow Wolf King lunged upward, causing the ground to rumble beneath him.

In the sky, this ancient being with a wolf head and human body raised its claw, channeling oceanic ice energy, delivering a mighty blow.

Boom!

A wave of overwhelming pressure descended, causing Litang City to shake violently, many cultivators displaying fear and uncertainty on how to respond.

“It’s over,” Ding Zhen sank to his knees, wide-eyed as he watched the massive ice-blue claw imprint falling from above.

If no one could stop it, not just the grand Ding Manor, but this city would be reduced to rubble…

“Interesting; just right for me to test this move.”

Ye Junlin replied playfully.

Buzz buzz!

A majestic silhouette emerged behind him, radiating a presence beyond words, inspiring submission in countless hearts.

“Great Wilderness Prisoning Hand!”

Ye Junlin’s eyes carried a chilling glare as he reached out, his palm lunging at the Snow Wolf King.

Simultaneously, that great silhouette behind him raised its hand, mimicking the motion.

This was the advanced version of the Great Wilderness Prisoning Hand Ye Junlin gained as a reward after arriving in Litang City!

Rumble rumble~

Air exploded, sky-high light flickering as an ancient giant hand appeared, stretching a million kilometers, covered with the marks of time, emanating an ancient atmosphere.

“What kind of immortal technique is this?!” Feeling an unprecedented terrifying aura, the Snow Wolf King’s eyes showed fear.

In the next second,

The icy blue claw imprint imbued with all its might collided with the Great Wilderness Prisoning Hand, creating an unprecedented energy upheaval, as if it wanted to toss Litang City into the void.

Soon, the ice blue claw shattered, and the slightly dimmed Great Wilderness Prisoning Hand reached directly toward the Snow Wolf King.

“No! This is impossible!”

“My current self is invincible! I will never lose to anyone!”

Freaking out, the Snow Wolf King struggled desperately, trying to escape the grip of that ancient giant hand.

“What a joke!”

Li Wujie said proudly, “In front of my Master, who dares claim to be invincible? Who dares say they won’t be defeated?”

Crack crack crack~

The frost armor coating the Snow Wolf King began to fracture under the immense pressure, icy auras leaking out, his face twisted in pain, blood flowing from his seven orifices as he painfully uttered, “This must be a supreme technique…”

Supreme techniques had the highest ranking among immortal arts.

The Snow Wolf King, utterly perplexed, wondered how an Immortal King could wield a supreme technique and execute it flawlessly.

Could it be that this human was not an Immortal King-level powerhouse in ancient times, but a being of even higher realm?

Boom!

The frost armor finally could not withstand the pressure and shattered.

“Ahhhhhh!” As the Snow Wolf King’s body neared collapse, covered in blood, an unimaginable pain forced out a heartbreaking howl, the sound mingled with fear and despair of death.

Sensing the rapid depletion of his immortal power, Ye Junlin realized that this top-tier supreme technique was not something he could use freely.

But thankfully, the power was sufficient to resolve the target immediately.

Ye Junlin adjusted himself, his thin lips releasing a cold voice,

“Die!”

His grand voice echoed through the heavens—
