The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1739: 1736: Yang Demon

When the pair stepped onto the Iron Chain Bridge, their silhouettes vanished instantly from the sight of Ye Xuan and the Qian Kun Patriarch.

It felt like they had stepped into a completely different realm.

After confirming that the two had truly entered the Iron Chain Bridge, Ye Xuan and the Qian Kun Patriarch pressed onward.

Obviously, their objective wasn't the Iron Chain Bridge itself, but rather the Immaculate Duster.

…

Endless Sea.

Immense and limitless, brimming with peril.

In the old days, venturing into the Endless Sea spelled certain doom.

Times have shifted now. Even without passing through the Sea Abyss, intruders face brutal assaults from fearsome Sea Beasts.

Still, the Endless Sea stands far safer than in previous eras.

Since the Sea Abyss appeared, droves of mighty figures have converged, eager to plunge inside for hidden fortunes.

Rumors from the Sea Abyss reveal treasures abound in every corner.

As a result, major sects and powers couldn't hold back any longer, dispatching their experts one by one.

Some bold powerhouses even dive straight into the Endless Sea to gauge its dangers firsthand.

Suddenly, the Endless Sea teemed with frantic activity.

Buzz————

Right then, a profound buzzing echoed out, rattling eardrums and sending violent tremors across the Endless Sea's surface.

An unseen force radiated from the sea's heart, sweeping toward the whole Xuanhuang Great World.

A chill of dread crept into everyone's hearts faintly.

Despite thorough searches, nothing unusual turned up.

This alone sufficed to terrify folks, curbing any rash moves.

Unbeknownst to all, as the buzz propagated, pitch-black shadows swallowed a specific patch of the Endless Sea.

Resembling an age-old jail.

Frightful auras seeped out in strands, yet no Sea Beast dared show itself.

Boom————

The shadowy ancient prison appeared to crack open, unleashing a horrifying presence that swiftly faded.

At that instant, the blackness withdrew like retreating waves.

Quickly, the area matched the surrounding deep blue waters.

A short while after.

Waves surged outward in all directions, revealing a pale, frail man rising from the center.

His complexion resembled stark white paper, eyes devoid of any spark.

He looked no different from a walking corpse.

He stared silently into the distance.

After what felt like ages, he murmured, “Trouble is brewing…”

With those words, the man vanished without trace.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Ye Xuan and the Qian Kun Patriarch raced toward that very spot.

Ye Xuan's gaze held profound contemplation.

Recent happenings stirred a bad premonition in him.

Before long, Ye Xuan and the Qian Kun Patriarch reached the site where the corpse-like man had surfaced.

The scene looked utterly ordinary, without a hint of oddity.

But that very normalcy screamed the biggest irregularity!

“This prison has vanished.”

Ye Xuan murmured softly, his eyes narrowing slightly.

“Has the being trapped inside broken free?” The Qian Kun Patriarch furrowed his brow.

He had no clue about the prisoner's identity, but he sensed it was some horrifying powerhouse.

Ye Xuan scanned the area, then lightly spread his fingers, as if seizing hold of faint traces.

Soon, Ye Xuan dropped his right hand and declared, “It has escaped.”

“Nine Netherworld Phoenix, can you detect this person's identity?”

Ye Xuan asked inwardly to the Nine Netherworld Phoenix.

He had revived the Nine Netherworld Phoenix for exactly this purpose.

To recognize threats from the Dou Tian Divine Domain.

Ye Xuan realized the prisoner here had been sealed away.

There was a solid ninety percent likelihood it hailed from the Dou Tian Divine Domain.

Yet details eluded him.

Now, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix's moment had arrived.

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix probed carefully before responding, “Barring surprises, it's the one called Yang Demon.”

“His essence forms from Taiyang's dark essence, wielding not just Power of Taiyang but also a sinister Dark Power. Back then, the King of Dou Tian bestowed Origin Power upon him.”

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix briefed Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan mused quietly, “Looks like this guy's recovered well; else, he wouldn't bolt so boldly.”

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix noted calmly, “No matter the circumstances, his state beats my previous one, and moreover…”

A flicker of fear crossed the Nine Netherworld Phoenix's eyes as it added, “Yang Demon wasn't truly beaten in that clash.”

A faint smile tugged at Ye Xuan's lips; his hunch proved right—the Dou Tian Divine Domain had plotted this showdown eons ago.

Yang Demon was probably just one piece in their scheme, setting the stage for the coming war.

Though Ye Xuan sat out that ancient battle, he had amassed fragments of intel across endless years.

Those clues let him reconstruct key facts.

Armed with that knowledge, Ye Xuan laid his own cunning plans.

“Let's grab the Immaculate Duster first.”

Ye Xuan signaled the Qian Kun Patriarch before moving ahead.

With Yang Demon's jailbreak, he'd no doubt try fleeing the Endless Sea.

The Endless Sea's Sovereign couldn't possibly overlook this chaos.

A massive tempest loomed inevitable.

In such turmoil, Ye Xuan found himself oddly secure.

At minimum, no one would bother him now.

That said, rivals surely coveted the Immaculate Duster and might strike amid the disorder.

Ye Xuan had foreseen this, staying composed thanks to his edge.

He alone knew the Immaculate Duster's hiding place.

When stashing it away before, he picked an ideal, unreachable spot.

Ye Xuan journeyed on, sketching talismans en route.

With Endless Sea waters as his canvas, fingers as brush, and Mana as pigment, he inscribed an Epic Divine Talisman right in the sea.

Upon finishing the Epic Divine Talisman, Ye Xuan stopped.

The Qian Kun Patriarch trailed behind, full of curiosity.

Was this it?

Nothing but empty sea around?

Boundless waters stretched everywhere, no peaks above or abysses below.

This was the Endless Sea's nature.

Direction could slip away in a blink.

Time ticked by leisurely.

Ye Xuan made no further action.

Perplexed, the Qian Kun Patriarch whispered, “Master, are we waiting for something?”

Ye Xuan stayed quiet.

The Qian Kun Patriarch held his tongue.

Suddenly, a thunderous rumble erupted from the depths.

The Qian Kun Patriarch tensed into a battle stance, peering below.

“Master, an Emperor Sea Beast has emerged!”

The Qian Kun Patriarch warned solemnly.

Rumble————

His words barely landed when the whole sea erupted in frenzy.

From the depths, a colossal dragon head burst forth.

Its eyes gleamed like twin boundless universes!
