The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1740 - 1737: Immaculate Duster
Previously on The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor...
Those eyes resembled two boundless universes.
Frightening to the extreme!
The creature's massive form dominated the vision of Ye Xuan and Qiankun Ancestor.
Swish!
With the arrival of this Emperor Sea Beast, the seawater around them abruptly receded.
Ye Xuan and Qiankun Ancestor suddenly felt like they stood on dry land again.
The instant he laid eyes on this Emperor Sea Beast, Qiankun Ancestor’s pupils shrank sharply.
"Master..."
Qiankun Ancestor held his breath, ready to make a move.
Ye Xuan lifted his hand lightly, halting Qiankun Ancestor, and stated, "I summoned it."
Qiankun Ancestor parted his lips but ended up shaking his head with a bitter smile.
He had acted foolishly.
Yet the master remained the master; even without full recovery of his power, he could still call forth a being of such caliber.
This was the Sea Dragon King of the Endless Sea, rumored to rule over every ocean in existence.
Indeed.
The Emperor Sea Beast standing before them was a genuine True Dragon!
A True Dragon!
An primordial being whose lifespan stretched into the unknown.
It had slumbered deep within the Endless Sea for ages, witnessed by scarcely anyone.
Ye Xuan was likely the sole survivor who had beheld it.
Qiankun Ancestor had merely heard tales of the Endless Sea's Sea Dragon King.
This marked his very first encounter.
"You have come."
Spotting Ye Xuan, the Sea Dragon King of the Endless Sea uttered, its tone archaic and echoing from afar, delivered in the primordial dragon language.
The Sea Dragon King of the Endless Sea addressed Ye Xuan directly.
"Is the thing still there?"
Ye Xuan inquired.
The Sea Dragon King parted its horrifying maw, resembling a bottomless void, and exhaled softly.
Whoosh!
A beam of white light streaked through the waters straight at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan extended his palm, seized the white light, and gave it a casual flick.
Three thousand strands of pristine white immortal threads blossomed, as if brushing aside every impurity across the world.
The space nearby wavered.
This duster gleamed with flawless purity, radiating a dazzling immortal glow that lit up through eternity.
This treasure was precisely the Immaculate Duster, among the Nine Great Immortal Treasures!
It was also an Immortal Treasure Ye Xuan had claimed in the past.
Using this very item, he had forged the Great Emperor of the Purity Immortal Body.
Now, the treasure had returned to his grasp!
Thus, among the Nine Great Immortal Treasures, Ye Xuan possessed six.
Taixu Pearl, Red Bright Nine Heavens Map, Qingming Xuan Yin Banner, Silence Immortal Wheel, Evergreen Treasure Tree, and Immaculate Duster.
With the Black Candle concealed in the Xuanzhou Great Ruins added, his gathering of the Nine Great Immortal Treasures neared perfection.
Buzz————
The remaining five Immortal Treasures appeared to detect the Immaculate Duster, orbiting Ye Xuan while mirroring its splendor.
Void, Yang, Yin, Death, Life, Clarity.
In that instant, six profound laws manifested ceaselessly.
Ye Xuan stood as the supreme ruler commanding every Daoist Law, gazing down upon all creation!
The Sea Dragon King of the Endless Sea observed the spectacle, a hint of shock flashing in its eyes akin to twin vast universes.
It had crossed paths with this individual several times before, even clashing in battle.
It had suffered a thorough defeat.
That was why it had yielded to Ye Xuan.
"Emperor Ye, can you fulfill your promise?"
Though hesitant to interrupt Ye Xuan, the Sea Dragon King voiced its request.
Ye Xuan twirled the duster gently, nodding as he replied, "Naturally."
The Sea Dragon King responded, "Thank you."
Next, the Sea Dragon King gaped its enormous jaws.
Resembling an infinite chasm!
"Wait for me here."
Ye Xuan instructed Qiankun Ancestor before plunging into the Sea Dragon King's mouth.
"Master?!"
Qiankun Ancestor jolted in alarm, yet remembering Ye Xuan’s earlier statement, he held back.
The master must have some pact with this Sea Dragon King.
Having submitted to the master, this Sea Dragon King wouldn't dare act rashly.
Now, clutching the Immaculate Duster, Ye Xuan ventured inside the Sea Dragon King's form.
It felt like stepping into a vast cosmic expanse, rife with raging tempests and thunder.
Inconceivable that this lay within a True Dragon.
Utterly unlike the expected visceral innards.
Yet this was the truth.
A True Dragon.
As the mightiest of the Dragon Clan, bearing a true name, they surpass the heavens and earth, standing above everything.
Their very essence embodies laws; they themselves embody the Dao!
After soaring briefly, Ye Xuan spotted clusters of dark mist dimming the starry cosmos, gradually consuming it.
This was a dreadful energy originating beyond the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds; even a True Dragon like the Sea Dragon King struggled to contain it.
Previously, Ye Xuan had examined this force without comprehension, extracting a portion.
Back then, the notion of the Dou Tian Divine Domain escaped him.
Now, clarity dawned.
That energy stemmed from the Origin Power of the Dou Tian Divine Domain.
However, the Origin Power afflicting the Sea Dragon King differed markedly from Ye Xuan's prior encounters.
This Origin Power carried an eerie potency that devoured and eroded, steadily devouring the Sea Dragon King's strength.
As time passed, this Origin Power grew ever more potent.
Should it hit a tipping point, the Sea Dragon King could be wholly consumed.
At that stage, it might cease to be the Sea Dragon King.
Long ago, Ye Xuan struck a deal with the Sea Dragon King, entrusting the Immaculate Duster to its care.
Now, having reclaimed the Immaculate Duster, Ye Xuan owed it the fulfillment of his vow: to purge this force from the Sea Dragon King.
"Scatter."
Gripping the Immaculate Duster, Ye Xuan swept it softly toward the black mist.
Ye Xuan thrust out his left hand, unleashing the full might of his Taoist Body in a surge.
A fearsome devouring power detonated instantly, drawing the Origin Power irresistibly to Ye Xuan’s left palm.
At the same time, the Immaculate Duster stripped away the corrosive, consuming essence within, layer by layer.
The Origin Power got fully devoured by Ye Xuan’s Taoist Body.
In that very moment.
Ye Xuan’s Taoist Body appeared to advance toward the Great Success Stage.
Boom!
Suddenly, a cataclysmic destructive force burst from the void, crashing down on Ye Xuan and nearly shredding him apart.
Ye Xuan’s gaze turned icy cold.
This sudden turn had taken him completely by surprise.
Deep in the Endless Sea, free from Heavenly Dao's restraint, absorbing such potent Origin Power had propelled his Taoist Body nearly to Great Success.
This breakthrough sign attracted the Heavenly Dao's notice, compelling it to invade the Endless Sea and strike solely at Ye Xuan.
That apocalyptic power engulfed Ye Xuan, relentlessly assaulting his flesh, bringing calamity upon him.
Ye Xuan gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with piercing chills.
Such was the terror of the Taoist Body—even a mere hint of progress summoned this level of Heavenly Dao scrutiny.
Should it truly attain Great Success, unimaginable Heavenly Tribulation might follow.
"No..."
"The Heavenly Dao seeks to annihilate me."
Soon after, Ye Xuan realized the power kept escalating, and his heart grew heavy.
Though he had quelled the Taoist Body’s breakthrough attempt, the Heavenly Dao’s suppression raged on!
