The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1781: 1778: Chaotic Situation

“Ye Xuan’s greed knows no bounds. Lingering within the World Tree, he’s likely headed straight for his doom.”

The Ruyi Sect’s Great Sage sneered mockingly.

“Looks like you’re the one courting death.”

Tong Wuji shot a casual glare from afar, locking eyes with the man.

That Ruyi Sect Great Sage shivered under Tong Wuji’s stare, as if a primordial Fierce Beast had targeted him, freezing the blood in his veins.

After all, those at the Great Sage Realm stand at the pinnacle of the Cultivation World, surveying mortals like the Ancient Sage of Creation who beheld eternity.

At this level, mere aura shouldn’t intimidate them so easily.

Except when facing someone vastly superior.

And the moment confirmed it perfectly.

Tong Wuji’s power greatly exceeded this Ruyi Sect Great Sage’s!

A cold sweat broke out on the Ruyi Sect Sage’s back; he didn’t dare respond.

Though he had devoured massive World’s Power inside the World Tree, edging toward Heaven and Earth Great Sage and growing arrogant,

Tong Wuji’s subtle pressure now sobered the elder—he remained leagues behind those peak world-shaking experts!

Still, he couldn’t fathom why such a mighty figure backed Ye Xuan.

One thing was clear: even if Yuhua Immortal Sect hid supreme powerhouses, they wouldn’t provoke Ye Xuan’s backers over his Ruyi Sect.

Realizing this, the Ruyi Sect group fell silent.

Of the gathered experts, thirty-six ranked on the Mystic Yellow List; excluding Ye Xuan still in the World Tree, all others were present.

These powerhouses knew full well the terror of Ye Xuan, who topped the Mystic Yellow List.

In fact, they wondered what Ye Xuan planned by staying in the World Tree.

Was he just greedily drawing in more World’s Power to push his Cultivation further?

Yet intel showed Ye Xuan stuck at Great Sage Realm, nowhere near Heaven and Earth Great Sage.

Maybe, sensing rivals breaking through realms, he aimed to seize this chance for his own breakthrough.

Such notions crossed the minds of several Mystic Yellow List elites.

“Instability here stirs the Great Ruins. An Immortal Treasure might emerge too.”

From the Yuhua Immortal Sect side, Elder Chu’s murky eyes gleamed with insight as he spoke deliberately, dissecting the chaos.

“Should an Immortal Treasure appear, this is the prime moment…”

Zheng Wushan’s gaze turned unusually grave.

Ye Xuan’s presence anywhere crushed Zheng Wushan with suffocating pressure.

With Ye Xuan trapped in the World Tree, any Immortal Treasure now would be ripe for the taking.

Per the Mysterious Woman’s intel from Yuhua, every Mystic Yellow List prodigy had converged here, potentially birthing a true Immortal Treasure.

But it stayed mere wishful thinking—no one had witnessed such a treasure.

Time dragged on.

The Blood Sea and Mountain Dragon Transformation teamed up against the Great Ruins Demon Vine, forcing it back step by step.

Meanwhile, the World Tree’s cosmic leaves trembled, on the verge of dropping.

The sight thrilled the onlookers.

Once those leaves fell, they’d scramble to claim them.

Even one World Tree leaf offered immense fortune.

Securing it promised boundless benefits.

Thus, all eyes glued to the World Tree, yearning for even a single leaf to tumble.

As the fight raged fiercer, the Great Ruins Demon Vine buckled under the Blood Sea Giant Snake and Mountain Dragon Transformation, sparking a three-way melee.

Chaos engulfed the battlefield.

Buzz————

Finally, one wilted leaf drifted down.

“Grab it!”

Instantly, the Mystic Yellow List Reserve Emperors lunged, battling for that World Tree leaf!

They’d witnessed it—a single leaf housed an entire Great World.

Who could resist such a prize!?

Yet seasoned cultivators held back, eyeing rivals warily, fearing strikes against the Mystic Yellow List prodigies.

These youths embodied the Xuanhuang Great World’s elite.

As Emperor Road opened, they’d lead the charge.

Naturally, constant guardians shielded them.

Zi Yang Heavenly Monarch, Evergreen Saint Heir, and Wang Teng’s fates warned against recklessness.

“This leaf is mine!”

The claimant was the Sky-winged Little Peng King, an exceptional prodigy from the Demon Race on the Mystic Yellow List.

No Great Sage could match the Sky-winged Little Peng King's incredible speed. He seized the leaf first by arriving ahead of everyone.

“Put it down—that is my opportunity.”

Suddenly, a massive golden palm blotted out the heavens, appearing from thin air to smash toward the Sky-winged Little Peng King.

Jin Baikong, yet another genius from the Mystic Yellow List, launched the attack.

Not from the Human Clan, Jin Baikong was an Immortal Gold Spirit who awakened sentience and later trained under an ancient Sacred Land in Hong State.

“This leaf has also caught my eye!”

Chi Yan the Divine Son, surrounded by twin Fire Dragons, rocketed skyward with ferocious flames, blocking the Sky-winged Little Peng King as he spoke indifferently.

Hai Dong joined in too, staying hidden in the darkness unnoticed, exploiting his Thousand Mysterious Saint Body's traits to snatch the Divine Skills from the fray.

Mystic Yellow List prodigies clashed one after another in brutal battle, all vying for that one leaf.

Elsewhere, such a fight would draw the intense scrutiny of Sects throughout the Xuanhuang Nine States.

But inside the Great Ruins, only the mighty backers of these prodigies could observe the chaos.

The fierce struggle of Mystic Yellow List Reserve Emperors!

How incredible!

Yet the top Reserve Emperor on the Mystic Yellow List had already delved into the World Tree's depths, wildly devouring World's Power billions of times vaster than the leaves provided.

Ye Xuan’s inner world expanded without end, boundless in scope!

His power surged upward at breakneck speed.

Still, his cultivation level stayed pinned at the Great Sage Realm by Ye Xuan's own control.

Right now, if Ye Xuan released his restraints, he could not only step into Heaven and Earth Great Sage but even leap to True Destiny Great Sage Realm.

However, with the Emperor Road in mind, Ye Xuan held back from any breakthrough.

The Emperor Road brims with tremendous fortunes, enabling him to shatter limits across all four Great Sage realms.

Thus, when Ye Xuan achieves Emperorhood, he will reign supreme over all Emperors!

This explains why Ye Xuan keeps reforging every realm—to forge an unmatched Dao Foundation for what lies ahead!

Combined with his Taoist Body and Emperor Soul, Ye Xuan’s future prowess will outstrip even the monster body.

Only then will he face the Emperor Burial Lord head-on in the days to come!
