The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1711: 1708: The Fall of the Emperor General

“Quan Dong Qiankun!”

Emperor Ling Xiao executed a Divine Skill drawn from the Great Emperor Immortal Skill.

The fierce clash of their fists rattled Qian Kun.

It felt like countless Great Worlds were shattering one after another.

Waves of overwhelming power surged forward layer by layer, slamming toward Ye Xuan like a massive tsunami.

Ye Xuan’s form twisted beyond recognition.

In the next instant, he vanished completely.

Witnessing this, Emperor Ling Xiao showed no relief whatsoever.

He understood that this attack still fell short of defeating Emperor Ye.

A bitter taste welled up in his heart.

The disparity was simply too enormous.

Existing in the same era as Emperor Ye would have been a true tragedy.

Before Emperor Ye, genius meant nothing.

Any prodigy, no matter how brilliant, appeared fragile and helpless against him.

In a same-Realm confrontation, he was thoroughly dominated.

Yet even surpassing Emperor Ye by three Great Realms, victory remained out of reach.

In a way, beneath Heavenly Dao Suppression, Emperor Ye proved unbeatable...

Only by activating the Emperor Array or breaking his seals to unleash forbidden power might he have a shot.

True enough, Ye Xuan reappeared unharmed from the warped void, surrounded by swirling black auras.

Ye Xuan materialized right before Emperor Ling Xiao.

Emperor Ling Xiao stood his ground, launching ferocious punches.

Qian Kun shattered into pieces.

Had their fight occurred inside the Xuanhuang Great World, entire universes could have been obliterated.

This explained Ye Xuan’s choice to battle Emperor Ling Xiao beyond the realm.

Bound by Heavenly Dao Suppression, the Xuanhuang Great World couldn’t endure their clash.

Bang bang bang ————

Every strike from Emperor Ling Xiao was perfectly parried by Ye Xuan; in mid-exchange, Ye Xuan landed a punch straight into Emperor Ling Xiao’s chest.

In that instant, Emperor Ling Xiao sensed his chest being pierced through.

Thanks to his Quasi-Emperor Realm body, it held firm without actual penetration.

Even so, Emperor Ling Xiao experienced profound discomfort.

“Emperor Ye?”

He observed that Emperor Ye appeared somewhat absent-minded.

Not entirely committed to the fight.

Ye Xuan refocused, locking eyes with Emperor Ling Xiao, and declared word by word, “You will die.”

Emperor Ling Xiao offered a calm smile in response, “I know.”

At this, Ye Xuan licked his lips, his eyes slowly icing over.

All words that needed saying had been spoken.

No further talk was necessary.

“Immortal Profound Power.”

Ye Xuan murmured the four words softly.

The Immortal Profound Power coiling around Ye Xuan drifted silently toward Emperor Ling Xiao.

Emperor Ling Xiao’s soul quivered, an overwhelming dread rising within him.

Terror crept into his gaze.

On instinct, Emperor Ling Xiao tried to pull back.

But it was far too late.

“You are the first Emperor General I personally recommended to Changxi; today, I will personally end you.”

Ye Xuan whispered, as much to himself as to Emperor Ling Xiao.

Before the fight began, he had warned Emperor Ling Xiao of his death.

He repeated it amid the battle too.

Actually, Ye Xuan had been giving Emperor Ling Xiao one last chance.

Yet Emperor Ling Xiao refused to take it.

Emperor Ling Xiao had entered this duel prepared to perish.

From the outset, this fight’s conclusion was sealed.

However, had Emperor Ling Xiao bowed his head, turned from shadow to light, and forsaken blind allegiance, Ye Xuan would have let him live.

This represented Ye Xuan’s special mercy toward Emperor Ling Xiao.

No other Emperor Generals received such consideration.

Regrettably, Emperor Ling Xiao’s character forbade submission; he clung to unyielding loyalty toward Changxi.

There was no alternative.

Immortal Profound Power ensnared Emperor Ling Xiao, rendering all his mighty eruptions futile in breaking free.

“Am I going to die…”

Emperor Ling Xiao’s awareness faded, as he murmured to himself.

Regret evaded him.

In truth, he had anticipated his end today.

He believed he owed a debt to Emperor Ye.

Perishing by Emperor Ye’s hand was the ideal fate.

Boom————

Suddenly, amid the darkness, a majestic gate swung open.

Immortal Light bathed the gate, piercing straight to the Nine Heavens!

That marked the Heavenly Domain Gate!

Boom!

A enormous hand extended from the Heavenly Domain Gate, seizing Emperor Ling Xiao and dragging him inside.

Bam!

Instantly, the Heavenly Domain Gate sealed shut.

Ye Xuan observed the entire event, never once attempting to intervene.

Once Immortal Profound Power activated, salvation was impossible.

Not even for a Great Emperor.

The rescuer was a Quasi-Emperor.

Undoubtedly, another of Changxi’s Emperor Generals had stepped in.

With the Spider Emperor’s prior descent alongside Emperor Ling Xiao to the Lower Realm, backup plans were inevitable.

The Heavenly Domain couldn’t abandon him to death.

And in that instant, across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, the cosmos shifted hue, a profound grief permeating everywhere.

Every cultivator sensed a heaviness in their chest, an unexplained malaise.

Heaven and Earth wailed in mourning!

In a remote Ancient Great World.

The Heavenly Slaughter Divine Palace.

This served as Emperor General Tian Tu’s Divine Palace.

Emperor General Tian Tu, true to habit, meditated cross-legged amid the starry expanse, inhaling and exhaling steadily—not chasing breakthroughs, merely aiming to conserve power against Heavenly Dao Suppression.

At that moment, Emperor General Tian Tu’s eyes snapped open, shock flickering in his pupils.

“How is it possible…”

“Ling Xiao, is dead!?”

Emperor General Tian Tu refused to believe it.

An Emperor General’s demise triggered Heaven and Earth’s lament.

Forget Quasi-Emperors; even a Great Saint’s death would unleash massive phenomena throughout All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

With Heaven and Earth now grieving, it signaled a Quasi-Emperor’s fall.

Yet in this Lower Realm, Quasi-Emperors numbered only himself, Ling Xiao, and Qin Daoshen.

Linking to recent events, Emperor Ling Xiao sprang to mind immediately.

Since Emperor Ling Xiao confronted Qin Daoshen and Emperor Ye head-on in the Xuanhuang Great World.

“No, no, I heard that Emperor Ling Xiao had a good relationship with Emperor Ye back then, one of the few with ties to Emperor Ye besides the Double Emperors; if Emperor Ye really wanted to kill him, he would have done it long ago, not waited until now.”

Doubts flooded Emperor General Tian Tu’s mind.

But if not Emperor Ling Xiao, who else?

Without delay, Emperor General Tian Tu contacted Heavenly Domain Emperor Mu’s Heaven to report the incident.

Soon, a reply arrived.

Emperor General Tian Tu gazed at the text materializing on the Jade Scroll, his face a mask of intricate emotions.

Emperor Mu’s Heaven confirmed it was highly probable that Emperor Ling Xiao had perished.

This revelation stunned Emperor General Tian Tu beyond measure.

Though they served different Great Emperors, as contemporaries, they had clashed and conversed endlessly.

Now, before Heavenly Dao Suppression lifted, before they could fully exhibit their Emperor General might— was it already finished?

He couldn’t help thinking of another fallen comrade—the Spider Emperor.

That Emperor General, also stranded in the Lower Realm like him, had met his end ages ago.

Back then, Heavenly Dao Suppression was harsher, so his death barely rippled the heavens.

But now, Emperor Ling Xiao’s passing rocked All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

The word would spread rapidly before long.
