The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1734 - 1731: Roadblockers

The indifferent remark from Qiankun Ancestor made the Ice Empress's eyes narrow faintly.

Though disdain filled Qiankun Ancestor’s words, the Ice Empress perceived no deception from this individual.

To put it simply, this person had genuinely attained divine enthronement ages ago!

Concerning the Undying Night Emperor this person referenced...

The Ice Empress directed her gaze toward Ye Xuan, detecting zero hint of a Great Emperor's aura. She had never come across the name Undying Night Emperor before either.

"I, the Emperor, only wish to know why the Ice Immortal Sect is gone?"

With commanding authority, the Ice Empress interrogated Ye Xuan.

The backing of a divinely enthroned Qiankun Ancestor behind Ye Xuan failed to daunt the Ice Empress.

A Great Emperor intent on killing cannot be halted by anyone.

"Endless Sea."

Ye Xuan spoke merely those three words.

Those three words drained all color from the Ice Empress's face, as scattered memory fragments surged within her mind.

Faintly, she recalled unleashing a Great Emperor's ultimate might, even joining Tian Ming in casting spells, yet powerless to block the Endless Sea's descent...

Still, these memories stayed hazy, dreamlike and profoundly illusory.

Typically, such fragments would flicker through her thoughts now and then, but deep in cultivation, she ignored them entirely.

Yet, Ye Xuan's utterance of 'Endless Sea' ignited a strange wave of grief and sorrow in the Ice Empress, bewildering her deeply.

Noting the Ice Empress's shifting expressions, Ye Xuan declared coolly, "You have been tainted by the Forbidden Power of the Endless Sea."

Veins throbbed visibly on the Ice Empress’s forehead, her face twisting horribly, her naturally chilling eyes distorting worst of all.

In that instant, she jerked her head up toward Ye Xuan, her eyes launching two solid ice blades!

Bam bam————

Qiankun Ancestor nearby struck first, blocking those two ice blades.

Qiankun Ancestor’s expression darkened; this foe actually dared to attack!

Ye Xuan motioned with his hand, cautioning Qiankun Ancestor against hasty action.

Both of them stared fixedly at the Ice Empress.

The Ice Empress appeared wracked by intense torment, pain carving her features, as she glared at Ye Xuan: "What are you intending to do?"

Ye Xuan responded steadily, "To lend you a helping hand."

"Empress!"

Right then, two fearsome auras descended abruptly.

A man and a woman stood there; the man looked middle-aged, radiating unshakeable poise, clad in golden treasure armor akin to a Divine General.

The woman appeared in her early twenties, garbed in a blue ice silk gown that hugged her flawless silhouette.

Both possessed the cultivation of Quasi-Emperor Realm!

"Chai Bu, Lian Xiang, stand back!"

The Ice Empress issued the stern command.

The pair displayed grave seriousness, eyes locked on Ye Xuan and Qiankun Ancestor—these unforeseen intruders—uncertain what words had so distressed their Empress.

However, as her loyal Emperor Generals, they were bound to heed the imperial order.

Time dragged on slowly, the Ice Empress's aura turning wildly unstable.

Fortunately, she kept it firmly suppressed; otherwise, that force's outburst would have obliterated the entire Ice Immortal Sect.

Nevertheless, the ambient space grew chaotically unstable, dread Ice Dao spilling forth, seemingly freezing everything nearby before cracks spiderwebbed across it!

The very Laws appeared locked and sealed!

"Little Qiankun."

Ye Xuan called out.

Qiankun Ancestor grasped it instantly and, wordlessly, lifted his hand in a sweeping motion.

In a flash, the Emperor Generals Chai Bu and Lian Xiang vanished completely.

Right after, Qiankun Ancestor advanced fearlessly toward the Ice Empress, radiating crushing might to bear down on her.

This marked a scarce display of Qiankun Ancestor’s true power.

Though confined to Qiankun Palace on Hengduan Mountain for millions of years, his strength had not waned in the slightest.

Quite the opposite—his power had steadily advanced through those endless years.

Yet, whenever he emerged, the relentless Heavenly Dao Suppression clung to him, barring full exertion of his abilities.

Only within the Dao Chu Ancient Land could he unleash freely, but that realm teemed with overwhelming foes, leaving even him outmatched.

Especially powerless before that Golden Vertical Eye.

Now, however, confronting a Great Emperor changed everything.

In truth, he feared no Great Emperor whatsoever.

Divine Enthronement already equaled Great Emperor prowess.

Furthermore, he had secured Divine Enthronement across multiple eras.

"No!"

"You are deceiving this Emperor!"

At that moment, the Ice Empress’s hair whipped wildly, as if gripped by madness; roaring furiously, she erupted with horrifying power.

Ye Xuan's eyes sharpened as his Void Immortal Body activated, vanishing in an instant.

Simultaneously, Qiankun Ancestor launched a ruthless strike, deploying Universe in the Sleeve to suppress the Ice Empress.

But even long dead, a Great Emperor’s enduring Emperor’s Might proved formidable!

Their peak-level clash unleashed devastation capable of rending heavens and shattering earth!

Ye Xuan refrained from joining the fray, knowing his own strength fell short without deploying odd treasures like the Soul Box or Soul Loss Bell.

Yet such items offered only fleeting surprises, and against a Great Emperor, opportunities to wield them were scarce.

Particularly under close watch.

Best left to Little Qiankun.

Deep in the true Sea Abyss, Heavenly Dao Suppression lifted entirely, rendering Little Qiankun’s might tremendously potent—against a long-dead Ice Empress, or even one alive, he held the edge.

This abrupt clash arose from the Endless Sea Abyss’s Forbidden Power.

Failure to vanquish this Great Emperor would stall all progress right here.

For the vast majority of the realm’s powerhouses, venturing into the Endless Sea’s Sea Abyss spelled their doom’s end.

Its deeper expanses lay forever beyond reach.

Yet Ye Xuan’s true quarry lay elsewhere.

In prior journeys, upon arriving here, Ye Xuan wasted no breath, pressing onward relentlessly.

This time, he employed subtle schemes: first stirring the Ice Empress’s internal turmoil, then unleashing Little Qiankun.

It’s worth noting.

The Endless Sea’s Sea Abyss harbored no fewer than ten Great Emperor Immortal Sects.

Each one guarded by a Great Emperor.

These were no living Great Emperors, but lingering remnants sustained by the sea abyss’s forbidden power post-death.

Just like the Ice Empress.

The mere mention of “Endless Sea” plunged them into inner strife, dredging up recollections of battling its incursion.

Entry into this Sea Abyss randomly thrust one before a Great Emperor Immortal Sect.

On this occasion, the Sea Abyss’s unveiling exposed the Ice Immortal Sect.

Strictly speaking, they functioned purely as barriers.

And amid Qiankun Ancestor’s ferocious duel with the Ice Empress, the belated Saint Heir and companions also converged upon the scene.
