The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1745: 1742: Emerging from Seclusion

Rumble————

Suddenly on this day, as the Sea Dragon King of the Endless Sea conferred with the Qiankun Ancestor, a horrifying power burst forth inside him, nearly creating the dread illusion that his dragon form was shattering, filling him with terror.

Yet prior to any response from the Sea Dragon King, that force faded away silently.

“It’s Emperor Ye!”

The Sea Dragon King quickly pinpointed the origin of this power to Emperor Ye.

“Emperor Ye is about to emerge!”

A brilliant spark ignited in the cosmos-like eyes of the Sea Dragon King.

“The master is finally emerging.”

Excitement surged through Qiankun Ancestor and the little girl in black as well.

The little girl in black had already shared details about the corpse-like man with them, leading to their vague suspicion that he was a taboo figure in the Endless Sea.

They had remained wary of his presence all this time.

However, that tension was now lifted.

The Sea Dragon King parted its massive jaws.

Instantly, a enigmatic glow appeared.

Looking closely, a youth clad in black robes stood there.

His face bore rugged, intensely severe features.

Those pitch-black eyes resembled endless night, profound and remote.

His ebony locks were loosely bound by a black pin at the nape, exuding a free-spirited elegance.

The black-robed youth kept his hands tucked in his pockets, face impassive.

His presence was fully contained, mimicking an ordinary human.

But a deeper look revealed his bottomless depths.

This was none other than Ye Xuan!

After close to a year, Ye Xuan withstood the Heavenly Dao suppression and the Red Lotus Karma Fire, conquering this trial. The moment external Heavenly Dao suppression lifted, Ye Xuan would attain Great Success in Taoist Body!

Then, even if the Double Emperors arrived, Ye Xuan could clash directly using the Taoist Body's might!

Moreover, the Red Lotus Karma Fire's blaze had greatly mended Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul.

In the midst of agony, Ye Xuan delighted in forging and forming the Purity Immortal Body.

He had also built a Myriad Forms Body, perfectly offsetting the Red Lotus Karma Fire's drain.

Currently, Ye Xuan had shifted the Red Lotus Karma Fire into the Emperor Soul, refining it relentlessly.

Thus, the Myriad Forms Body's power kept bolstering Ye Xuan further.

Ye Xuan’s cultivation level lingered in the Great Sage Realm,

yet his actual combat prowess had undergone a profound evolution.

“Emperor Ye.”

The Sea Dragon King of the Endless Sea beheld Ye Xuan anew and offered a respectful bow.

“Master!” Qiankun Ancestor and the little girl in black brimmed with joy.

Ye Xuan gave a faint nod and replied, “Thank you for your hard work.”

The Sea Dragon King murmured softly, “Emperor Ye, today’s grace is impossible to repay fully. Should you require aid later, simply command me.”

The bond between Sea Dragon King and Ye Xuan wasn’t one of master and servant.

Rather, it resembled a deal most of the time.

In this deal, though, the Sea Dragon King gained immensely; fully aware of this, and knowing Emperor Ye’s dreadfulness, it stayed humble and deeply thankful. If Emperor Ye called for support, it would answer without fail!

This marked one of Ye Xuan’s subtle setups from before.

Future conflicts would summon myriad powerhouses.

Ye Xuan couldn’t battle solo then; he required allies.

Revenge Lineage, Southern Dipper Six Veins, Beidou Seven Veins—all formed his groundwork.

An antiquity like the Sea Dragon King, rare and potent, proved ideal for his command.

“External Heavenly Dao Suppression persists, so recover inside the Endless Sea.”

Ye Xuan nodded lightly.

“Understood.” The Sea Dragon King consented, “I’ll depart now. If Emperor Ye summons, shatter the Dragon Jade.”

With that, the Sea Dragon King’s form dissolved soundlessly.

“Master, that ancient mud eel packs real power. From which age does it hail?”

Once the Sea Dragon King vanished, Qiankun Ancestor eagerly inquired.

Ye Xuan responded casually, “Hailed as the final True Dragon of the Emperor Era—does that sound mighty?”

Qiankun Ancestor showed mild astonishment: “So it’s him.”

The Emperor Era followed the Mythical Era as the grandest period, with emperors thriving together amid the Emperor Battle.

Great Emperors then were legendarily ruthless.

The Endless Sea’s Sea Dragon King, dubbed the last True Dragon of the Emperor Era, highlighted its fearsome legacy.

Though Yang Demon corrosion plagued it during long dormancy, Ye Xuan’s later aid let it slumber until recovery, now illness-free and poised to reclaim its zenith.

“By the way, Master.”

Qiankun Ancestor then gravely recounted the corpse-like man to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan stayed composed upon hearing it: “I see.”

Qiankun Ancestor whispered, “Master, what’s that fellow’s true background…”

Ye Xuan gazed afar and uttered deliberately, “Barring surprises, he’s the Sovereign of the Endless Sea.”

Though they’d never clashed face-to-face, mutual awareness existed.

“Indeed!”

Qiankun Ancestor’s heart jolted at the words.

This evoked memories of his initial clash with Beiyao’s godly warrior, whom he pummeled into helplessness.

Sovereigns of Forbidden Lands had, in essence, eclipsed realm boundaries.

Like Beiyao’s godly warrior’s first bout with Ye Xuan, transcending time and void.

Qiankun Ancestor recalled that duel with crystal clarity even now.

It stood as the most harrowing fight he’d ever seen.

Hence, no sovereign from Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions Forbidden Lands was within his reach.

Qiankun Ancestor held keen insight into his limits here.

The gulf between them yawned immense.

“Head back to the Iron Chain Bridge first and check things out. After a year, unforeseen shifts may have happened.”

Ye Xuan directed Qiankun Ancestor.

“Yes.” Qiankun Ancestor obeyed and departed alongside the little girl in black.

Zhang Jingtong and Ning Fu lingered at the Iron Chain Bridge; Qiankun Ancestor knew his master cherished those two girls.

Even with the Endless Sea—one of Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions—vastly altered, perils lurked terribly, and for Nine Prohibited Lands, safety had long expired post-year.

Qiankun Ancestor refrained from probing the master’s plans, sensing he’d seek that corpse-like man.

Discussions at such heights lay beyond his standing.

He merely needed to fulfill his duties faithfully.

After Qiankun Ancestor and the little girl in black departed, Ye Xuan summoned the Nine Netherworld Phoenix.

“Time to come out.”

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix materialized, eyeing Ye Xuan with an odd stare.

Ye Xuan met the Nine Netherworld Phoenix steadily and stated, “I’m off to meet someone soon, so choose to slumber willingly—spare us the Desolate Realm fiasco.”

At those words, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix’s gaze darkened. It skipped pointless talk, nodding and slipping into voluntary sleep.

Back in the Desolate Realm, its solo antics drew the Desolate Realm Sovereign’s notice, nearly dooming it.
