The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1746 - 1743: Facing the Yang Demon Directly

Once the Nine Netherworld Phoenix drifted into slumber, Ye Xuan held back from rushing in, instead slipping silently into the Jiuyou Netherworld using the foundation he had previously built there.

Before falling asleep, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix had warned the Yang Demon to remain inside the Jiuyou Netherworld without venturing out.

The Yang Demon proved wise, sensing potential trouble ahead, so he concealed himself deep within the Jiuyou Netherworld.

Upon arriving in the Jiuyou Netherworld, Ye Xuan tracked the Yang Demon's location by following the lingering trace of Origin Power.

While inside the Jiuyou Netherworld, Ye Xuan placed a hidden Curse Seal, unknown even to the Nine Netherworld Phoenix.

"Looks like the Nine Netherworld Phoenix's power has restored impressively."

Soaring through the skies, Ye Xuan sensed the primordial atmosphere of the Jiuyou Netherworld and whispered to himself.

Back when he first claimed the Jiuyou Netherworld, it was far from whole.

Afterward, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix kept refining it through continuous Sacrificial Refinement.

Ye Xuan hadn't kept tabs on the process, yet now observing it closely, he noted the Jiuyou Netherworld's significant recovery.

What's more, the Jiuyou Netherworld was a realm forged by the Nine Netherworld Phoenix, intimately bound to the creature itself.

During the Nine Netherworld Phoenix's suppression, its injuries had left the Jiuyou Netherworld fractured.

With the Nine Netherworld Phoenix now healed, the Jiuyou Netherworld had strengthened too.

Still, no signs of life stirred in the Jiuyou Netherworld.

This didn't faze Ye Xuan, since the Nine Netherworld Phoenix ruled as the Lord of Death, wielding the Power of Death, which kept all living things absent from the Jiuyou Netherworld.

Numerous undead lurked in the ancient tombs instead.

Once the Nine Netherworld Phoenix slept, those undead entered dormancy as well.

Ye Xuan swiftly pinpointed the Yang Demon's position.

Even though the Jiuyou Netherworld stretched endlessly, making the Yang Demon seem impossible to locate—like finding a needle in a haystack—

To Ye Xuan, everything stood out crystal clear.

The Yang Demon's aura blazed like the sole torch piercing the gloom, impossible to miss.

Ye Xuan descended onto a sheer cliff.

Icy winds howled fiercely.

Nearby barren branches swayed wildly, on the verge of snapping.

The area looked utterly barren and forsaken, devoid of any presence.

Ye Xuan directed his sight across the cliff.

Thick mist cloaked that spot, blocking all vision.

Yet nothing escaped Ye Xuan's piercing gaze.

Past the haze lay a rocky wall hiding a makeshift cave.

Inside rested the Yang Demon.

The Sovereign of Endless Sea had sealed the Yang Demon's original body, leaving only his soul bound to this Avatar, which had fled here for recovery.

He aimed to break free from Endless Sea using the Nine Netherworld Phoenix's might.

Such plans were probably destined to shatter.

Ye Xuan vanished in a flash, reappearing inside the cave instantly.

At the same moment, he flicked his fingers sharply.

Right away, the cavern's entire space-time locked down completely.

Boom!

A ferocious wave of destructive force exploded without warning, intent on obliterating the cavern.

Moments later, a beam of dark Mysterious Light tore through the void, hurtling straight at Ye Xuan!

Ye Xuan stayed utterly composed, his eyes gleaming as he slowed the black Mysterious Light to a crawl.

He discerned plainly that the black Mysterious Light carried a deadly aura packed with ruinous might and boundless Flame Power.

Incredibly fearsome.

Without doubt, this was the Yang Demon!

A supreme powerhouse from the Dou Tian Divine Domain, outmatching even the Nine Netherworld Phoenix!

Boom!

Instantly after, Immortal Profound Power enveloped Ye Xuan, casually deflecting the Yang Demon's assault.

The incoming strike from the Yang Demon proved futile, rebounding under the force of Immortal Profound Power.

The Yang Demon shifted into glaring eye forms, fixing on Ye Xuan with a gravelly tone: "Seeking death?"

Ye Xuan gazed coolly at the Yang Demon, replying evenly: "Are you the Yang Demon?"

Shadows deepened in the Yang Demon's stare as his thoughts whirled, trying to place this intruder.

But despite racking his mind, he drew a blank on Ye Xuan's identity.

"No need to guess—you don't know me."

Ye Xuan said softly: "You're fleeing from someone's chase, right?"

The Yang Demon locked eyes on Ye Xuan, demanding icily: "What exactly are you getting at?"

Ye Xuan offered a faint smile: "I wish to strike a deal with that pursuer."

With those words, horrifying energies surged from the Yang Demon.

Never dismiss the Yang Demon as just an Avatar—his soul endured, ready to unleash devastating might.

Clusters of black Taiyang materialized around the Yang Demon, poised to swallow all in their path.

Coldly eyeing Ye Xuan, the Yang Demon declared flatly: "You dare strike at me?"

Tinged with scorn.

Just who was the Yang Demon?

A famed figure across the Dou Tian Divine Domain, inheritor of the Dou Tian King’s legacy!

That's the source of his unique Origin Power, distinct from the norm.

In this realm, he held genuine regard for scant few.

Following that recent clash, many peerless experts here had perished, felled by the Dou Tian King's alliance.

Even the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor, whose dogged hunt once chilled him, met his end?

So who stood before him now?

Ye Xuan smirked chillingly: "Better not act rashly. I prefer handling things rationally."

The Yang Demon eased back slightly, stating coolly: "Then, let's hear this so-called rationale."

Ye Xuan eyed his hand, balling it into a fist as he remarked: "First, though, I need to check if you're worthy of hearing it."

Ice filled the Yang Demon’s gaze.

This fool was toying with him!

Boom!

Without further talk, the Yang Demon unleashed his full fury this time.

The cavern brimmed with swirling black Taiyang, warping under the sealed space-time!

"Die!"

The Yang Demon bellowed as volleys of black Taiyang surged toward Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan gripped his fist tight, cloaking it in Immortal Profound Power before launching a savage blow.

Boom!

At once, Ye Xuan's punch shattered every black Taiyang orb.

"Boy, you’re nowhere near enough!"

The Yang Demon's roar reverberated from every angle.

His figure had dissolved into nothing.

Ye Xuan swept his sleeve, scattering the remnants of the detonated Taiyang, a sly curve on his lips.

If you crave a game of hide and seek,

Then time to drag you into the light.

Ye Xuan stamped down hard.

Bang———

Heaven and earth surged with murderous intent in that instant.

The cavern flattened to ruins immediately.

At the same time, all traces of the Jiuyou Netherworld erased as if they'd never been.

All dissolved back to pure Origin.

Nothing but infinite white emptiness lingered.

Right then, the Yang Demon's real form emerged.

He hovered directly ahead, just a short distance away.

Witnessing this, a flicker of shock crossed the Yang Demon, clearly taken aback by Ye Xuan's ruthless approach.

Ye Xuan lightly tapped the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd on his waist.

Whew———

A flash of dark sword gleam streaked out, and Guo Hezu floated at Ye Xuan's side.

Ye Xuan regarded the Yang Demon leisurely: "Do you recognize this sword?"
