The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1780 - 1777: Demon Vine’s Mischief

Beneath them, endless black Demon Vines surged outward at a rapid pace, as though determined to coil around the entire World Tree.

"Great Ruins Demon Vine?"

Ye Xuan arched his brow, realizing that the World Tree's emergence had sparked intense possessive cravings among the Great Ruins' marvels, all fighting to claim it.

These black Demon Vines marked the initial demonic entity Ye Xuan faced upon entering the Great Ruins.

In theory, Qiankun Ancestor had already acted, nearly subduing the Great Ruins Demon Vine, which ought to be in recovery now.

Still, Ye Xuan remained unfazed by this development.

He had noted before that Great Ruins Demon Vines blanketed everywhere due to their ancestral root.

With the ancestral root alive, eradicating the Great Ruins Demon Vines proved impossible.

For now, it remained uncertain if this was the Great Ruins Demon Vine itself or its ancestral root.

Should it turn out to be the ancestral root, matters would grow exceedingly complicated.

Boom!

As Ye Xuan contemplated, the Great Emperor’s Corpse launched a fierce assault, slamming a punch downward that halted the Great Ruins Demon Vine's advance in an instant.

Yet the Great Ruins Demon Vine's defining trait was its indestructibility; scattered apart, it reformed with alarming speed.

Soon enough, a fresh endless wave of Great Ruins Demon Vines rushed in.

The Great Emperor’s Corpse showed no mercy toward the Great Ruins Demon Vine, relentlessly striking to forge a route for Ye Xuan, smashing the approaching vines to powder.

Great Ruins Demon Vines boasted an incredibly resilient vitality, appearing eternally unkillable and immortal, making them a nightmare to handle.

However, the Great Emperor’s Corpse never wearied, persisting in its onslaughts.

In the end, the Great Emperor’s Corpse's superior might triumphed, forcefully clearing a pathway.

Man and corpse at last arrived at the World Tree's root.

The World Tree's root stretched to unfathomable immensity, perhaps rivaling the scope of all heavens and myriad worlds.

Attempting to uproot the World Tree bordered on the impossible.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

From every side, boundless Great Ruins Demon Vines swarmed, completely shrouding the World Tree's root.

The spot where Ye Xuan and the Great Emperor’s Corpse positioned themselves retained just a narrow gap, upheld nonstop by the Great Emperor’s Corpse.

Witnessing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help furrowing his brow.

The next instant, Ye Xuan's aura shifted dramatically, with visible strands of Taiyang Fire swirling around his form, blazing intensely and unleashing a potent, blazing yang essence.

This marked the activation of the Taiyang Immortal Body.

Inside Ye Xuan's frame, it was like countless Fierce Suns igniting all at once, the unleashed force rippling through the void.

Nearby Great Ruins Demon Vines incinerated to ash right then.

Ye Xuan soared toward the World Tree's root, the encircling Great Ruins Demon Vines dissolving like snow beneath a Fierce Sun.

With the Great Ruins Demon Vines fading away, the World Tree's root unveiled its initial grandeur.

It resembled an expansive starry expanse, stars connected by distinctive innate Dao Patterns, radiating surges of profound Power of the World.

If one leaf of the World Tree equated to a Great World, its root served as the source of all heavens and myriad worlds!

Spanning every heaven!

Only Ye Xuan could grasp this profound reverence firsthand.

Ye Xuan drew near the World Tree's root and extended a hand to make contact, the Taiyang Fire on his palm swiftly fading into the innate Dao Pattern of the Taoist Body.

As the Taiyang Fire vanished, surrounding Great Ruins Demon Vines reacted like frenzied sharks detecting blood, instantly coiling around Ye Xuan's entire right arm!

Once latched onto his arm, horrifying Power of Devouring burst from each thorn on the Great Ruins Demon Vine, intent on draining Ye Xuan dry!

Chilling to the bone!

Ye Xuan let out a cold snort, and the Dao Pattern on his arm quivered abruptly.

Boom!

In a flash, those Great Ruins Demon Vines evaporated into oblivion.

The Taoist Body's prowess rivaled that of the Taiyang Immortal Body.

With the Taoist Body unleashed, it dominated all under heaven!

As the Great Ruins Demon Vines crumbled, Ye Xuan's hand pressed against the World Tree root's surface.

Buzz————

That instant, a peculiar resonance stirred, and Ye Xuan merged silently into the World Tree's root, stepping into its inner realm.

The Great Emperor’s Corpse likewise faded into a segment of void, hiding stealthily beside Ye Xuan.

Upon Ye Xuan's entry into the World Tree's root.

The vacancy left by Ye Xuan swiftly got reclaimed by the Great Ruins Demon Vine.

Meanwhile, the Great Ruins Demon Vine kept swiftly wrapping around the entire World Tree.

At that instant, far below the World Tree, amid a sea of countless Great Ruins Demon Vines, a pair of blood-red eyes gradually surfaced.

Those blood-red eyes brimmed with boundless avarice.

Right then.

All the mighty experts of the Xuanhuang Nine States fixed their gaze on the chaos near the World Tree.

The clash between the Blood Sea Giant Snake and the Mountain Dragon had surged to a boiling intensity.

Creatures riding the waves in the Blood Sea lunged at the Mountain Dragon, striving to smash it into oblivion.

Yet the Mountain Dragon's strength was overwhelming; it endured the onslaught from these beasts and even evaporated the Blood Sea time and again.

Still, the Blood Sea wouldn't fade away—whenever it edged toward emptiness, it rapidly restored itself to peak condition.

This was the Forbidden Power of the Great Ruins in action.

But the Mountain Dragon held the exact same capability!

As a result, the duel between them stretched on without resolution.

The crowd, initially gripped by worry, slowly grew accustomed, shedding their panic to observe with undivided focus.

However, it didn't take long for them to detect something off!

"Look, isn't that Divine Tree darkening?!"

These words came from a supreme genius on the Mystic Yellow List, his Divine Eye capable of probing the core of heaven and earth, instantly spotting the shift in the World Tree.

Drawn by the shout, all eyes turned there, a wave of icy dread washing over them at the sight of the spreading black tendrils under the World Tree.

"Is that... the Great Ruins Demon Vine!?"

One who had once been ensnared by the Great Ruins Demon Vine identified it right away.

"Damn it, the Great Ruins Demon Vine is after this Divine Tree too!"

This truth sent shockwaves through the onlookers.

It was acceptable for savage beasts to lust after this wondrous tree before, but now even lifeless abominations like the Blood Sea, Mountain Dragon, and Great Ruins Demon Vine were vying for it!

"This must be the legendary World Tree, which explains why these forces crave it."

A serene Reserve Emperor from the Mystic Yellow List commented deliberately, his stare locked on the World Tree, eyes sparkling with concealed motives.

Boom!

The moment the Great Ruins Demon Vine fully coiled around the World Tree, the Mountain Dragon and Blood Sea detected the threat—another was scheming to snatch the prize for free.

Immediately, the Mountain Dragon and Blood Sea halted their fight, unleashing their wrath upon the Great Ruins Demon Vine atop the World Tree!

A devastating power plummeted down, potent enough to crack open the firmament and rend the continent, shaking the World Tree violently as leaves fluttered endlessly without ever hitting the ground.

"That Ye Xuan's greed knows no bounds, still hiding inside the World Tree; he's surely doomed now."

The Ruyi Sect's Great Sage Realm powerhouse sneered with vicious delight.
