The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1737 - 1734: The True Endless Sea

Pinned to the ground by the Emperor’s Might, the Saint Heir of Qingyan struggled to accept the truth.

The one clashing with the Ice Empress was none other than the elder who had trailed Ye Xuan previously.

This old man could actually stand toe-to-toe with a Great Emperor!?

Furthermore...

Why would a Great Emperor appear here!?

Even if one existed, it should merely be at the Invincible Great Sage Realm, right? How could this Emperor’s Might feel so domineering?

This power far surpasses what any Great Emperor Immortal Soldier could unleash!

The opponent obviously held back from killing them; otherwise, they’d have been reduced to ashes already.

Those at the Great Sage Realm cannot withstand a Great Emperor’s fury at all.

Forget Great Sages—even Great Saints would only grovel on their knees!

The disparity forms an insurmountable gulf!

"Hm?!"

Right then, all present sensed the Emperor’s Might steadily fading.

Yet, despite that, none could raise their heads to behold the Emperor’s face.

Amid the chaos, only Qiankun Ancestor could squarely confront the Ice Empress.

From Qiankun Ancestor’s view, the Ice Empress was relentlessly disintegrating. Though she fought to halt it, her form kept crumbling.

Just like paper turning to ash in flames.

Her exquisite, porcelain-like features were now riddled with fissures.

Combined with the savage glare in her eyes, not a shred of the Ice Empress’s regal poise remained.

"I’ve seen through your weaknesses clearly, Ancestor. Ultimately, you only exist because of the Forbidden Power of the Endless Sea. If I wanted to break your defense, it would be as simple as lifting a finger."

Qiankun Ancestor stated calmly, his tone gentle.

The Ice Empress stared at Qiankun Ancestor, then shifted her gaze to the Ice Immortal Sect’s portal, as if peering through to Ye Xuan progressing beyond it.

Moments later.

The Ice Empress pulled back her eyes and ceased her struggle against dissolution, gradually shutting them while whispering, "I actually know."

Ever since Ye Xuan brought up the Endless Sea, those ancient memories had resurfaced for her.

The Endless Sea’s catastrophe struck the Ice Immortal Sect, annihilating the whole sect.

Despite her fierce resistance, against the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions echoing through the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, even she at her pinnacle proved powerless.

In the end, filled with regret, she got swallowed by the Endless Sea, entombed alongside the Ice Immortal Sect in this ancient Sea Abyss, sustained through forbidden means.

But should the prohibition shatter, all would revert to oblivion.

Dust returns to dust, earth to earth.

The Ice Immortal Sect’s present barren desolation reflects that truth.

Witnessing this, Qiankun Ancestor held back from pressing further.

The Ice Empress had come to see that she’d merged into the Forbidden Power of the Endless Sea, serving as a shield for the Sea Abyss leading into it.

Yet a Great Emperor is still a Great Emperor; even in death, her lingering will proved unparalleled!

That will overcame the Forbidden Power of the Endless Sea, opting for her own dispersal.

Though brief, to her it counted as a triumph.

Buzz————

With the Ice Empress fading away, the Ice Immortal Sect’s portal radiated Mysterious Light, parting the seawater to forge a fresh pathway.

It mirrored the path Ye Xuan and his two companions had taken.

Wasting no time, Qiankun Ancestor slipped through the portal, hurrying after Ye Xuan.

"Swift indeed."

Spotting Qiankun Ancestor catch up, Ye Xuan remarked with a tease.

Qiankun Ancestor gave an embarrassed grin and replied, "I planned to overpower the Ice Empress using just my own power, but she wields the Heavenly Destiny Emperor Technique of Soul Cutting. Though my Divine Soul is bolstered by your strength, to prevent hindering your grand plan, I handled it this way."

"Did you just battle?"

Ning Fu and Zhang Jingtong asked, curiosity piqued.

Having perceived different scenes, they remained unaware of the clash between Qiankun Ancestor and the Ice Empress.

Qiankun Ancestor shook his head, replying, "No, we just boasted a bit."

The two women doubted it but weren’t the sort to pry relentlessly, so they let it drop.

"Later, slay a million-year-grade Sea Beast and strip its bones clean for them."

Ye Xuan murmured quietly.

Qiankun Ancestor nodded, agreeing, "Alright."

"Million-year-grade?"

The two women gasped in shock.

Did Sea Beasts of that caliber truly exist?

That would equate to at least a True Destiny Great Sage Realm powerhouse!

"Sea Beasts at this level bear Dao Patterns tied to talismanic Dao, perfect for you to study."

Ye Xuan explained casually.

On his initial plunge into the Endless Sea, lost on the path, he bypassed the Sea Abyss and plunged straight in, teeming with Sea Beasts.

Those beasts lunged at first sight, and Ye Xuan carved forward atop their slain forms.

He didn’t just fell million-year-grade Sea Beasts—he routinely dispatched billion-year-grade ones too.

Still, Ye Xuan held only a vague sense of the horrifying entities concealed in the Endless Sea’s depths.

He believed even deadlier presences lurked in its remotest zones.

This conviction grew firmer after uncovering concealed beings in other Forbidden Lands.

On this trip, beyond tackling the Immaculate Duster, Ye Xuan aimed to hunt the Endless Sea’s Sovereign.

The mysteries of the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions’ overlords remained unsolved for him.

The group pressed ahead.

Before long, they ran into a swarm of hundred-year-grade Sea Beasts.

Ye Xuan had no need to intervene—Qiankun Ancestor swept them away effortlessly.

This display further highlighted the elder’s terrifying prowess to Ning Fu and Zhang Jingtong.

Without delay, the pair gathered the Sea Beasts’ bones, planning to inscribe Divine Talismans upon them later.

Rumble————

As the hundred-year-grade Sea Beasts perished, the thick blood aroma drew more Sea Beasts near.

These creatures’ approach triggered a massive sea tremor.

Ferocious currents roared, poised to smash anything in their path.

With their modest Realms, Ning Fu and Zhang Jingtong paled instantly.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan’s protection let them steady themselves.

Gazing at the turbulent waters ahead, Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes with a grin, "Looks like your study subjects are coming right to us."

Ning Fu and Zhang Jingtong, momentarily eased, tensed up anew: "You mean a million-year-grade Sea Beast is approaching!?"

Rumble!

Their question answered with fiercer quakes.

Their Divine Souls quivered.

Even aware of Ye Xuan and Qiankun Ancestor’s might, this aura still sent their hearts racing.

Suddenly, their pupils shrank.

The visible sea region darkened utterly, a colossal shadow looming above!

The pressure choked the breath from them!

"Ghost King Fish!"

Zhang Jingtong cried out.
