The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1782 - 1779: Breaking Through the Barrier

Time passes ever so slowly.

Before anyone knew it, half a month flew by.

Yet the fierce battle rages on without conclusion.

A strange equilibrium has emerged among the Blood Sea Giant Snake, Mountain Dragon Transformation, and Great Ruins Demon Vine.

Their relentless clashes have dislodged seven or eight withered leaves from the World Tree.

These precious yellowed leaves sparked a frenzy among the powerhouses on the Mystic Yellow List as they vied desperately for them.

In the end, the Mysterious Woman, Heavenly Winged Little Peng King, Saint Heir, and several others claimed them.

During this time, Ye Xuan's cultivation surged dramatically, shattering past the Extreme Realm of the Great Sage.

At last, Ye Xuan's cultivation could progress no more.

Ye Xuan came to a halt.

Without the Emperor Road's arrival and with Ye Xuan deliberately holding it back, his body and cultivation stand at absolute perfection.

Though Ye Xuan can't vow invincibility ahead, he has ascended to an unprecedented height.

Truth be told, his Taoist Body hit this pinnacle back in the Endless Sea, drawing the wrath of Heavenly Dao's tribulation.

From that point, Ye Xuan has kept his Taoist Body in check.

Should the Heavenly Dao's restraint vanish, Ye Xuan's Taoist Body would surge straight into the Great Success Stage.

At that moment, Ye Xuan could roam freely through All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, unbound by any force.

However, by then, Ye Xuan might have already stepped onto the Emperor Road.

After all, the Emperor Road's descent looms near.

"Next, it’s time to find a way to collect the World Tree."

A deep breath escaped Ye Xuan's lips, his eyes igniting with sharp brilliance.

Ye Xuan rose to his feet, gauged his location, and exited the World Tree's core.

Boom!

The instant Ye Xuan stepped out, the Great Ruins Demon Vine lunged to ensnare him.

Ye Xuan's hands stayed tucked in his pockets, his face utterly serene.

Just as the Great Ruins Demon Vine neared Ye Xuan, it withdrew on its own.

In this way, Ye Xuan departed the area without hindrance.

Ye Xuan gazed upward, spotting the Blood Sea Giant Snake and Mountain Dragon Transformation locked in combat.

"They all possess Forbidden Power, wanting to decide a victor is almost impossible, it’s up to me."

Ye Xuan whispered to himself.

But first, he must reactivate the Emperor Array.

The Emperor Array abandoned here long ago was set precisely for this critical juncture.

Swoosh—

Ye Xuan morphed into a beam of Mysterious Light, erupting from deep underground.

"Huh? A treasure has surfaced!"

All eyes were glued to the World Tree's transformations when Ye Xuan's ascent from its roots seized the Mystic Yellow List geniuses' notice, their instinct to seize kicking in.

Those who grabbed World Tree leaves especially sensed the hidden mystery here.

"This treasure belongs to me!"

The Heavenly Winged Little Peng King's velocity stands unmatched, with scarcely anyone able to rival it.

He charged forward without delay.

But as he closed in, the Heavenly Winged Little Peng King's face twisted abruptly.

For what emerged wasn't some treasure, but a human figure!

Boom!

Before the Heavenly Winged Little Peng King could respond, Ye Xuan swung his fist, hurling him through the air.

A wretched howl burst from the Heavenly Winged Little Peng King as he turned into a ray of light, flung over ten thousand miles to smash into far-off boulders, vanishing from view.

This spectacle stunned the crowd, freezing them in place as they watched in shock.

"It’s him!?"

Recognizing Ye Xuan, their expressions shifted dramatically.

"Ye Xuan!"

Having identified Ye Xuan, they held back from advancing.

"This guy is actually not dead!"

The old Great Sage Realm expert from Ruyi Sect paled, seething with frustration.

For days on end, he had wished for Ye Xuan's demise within.

The clashes between those three behemoths were mind-boggling; even the shockwaves proved devastating.

Yet this fellow endured so long and emerged alive!

"He flew up from the roots of that Divine Tree, but the Great Ruins Demon Vine had long wrapped around it, how did he escape?"

This peculiarity struck everyone, filling them with dread.

Countless had beheld the Great Ruins Demon Vine's horrifying might; entanglement meant certain doom even for Great Sage Realm masters.

"Cousin!"

Spotting Ye Xuan appear, Jiang Ya beamed with joy, certain her cousin was safe.

Lu Yuntong and Fan Hongshan shared relieved grins, giving Ye Xuan nods.

Ye Xuan hovered midair, returning a faint nod.

"Emperor Ye."

Tong Wuji and Tushan Chen materialized at once upon Ye Xuan's exit.

Ye Xuan frowned: "Little Qiankun?"

Tong Wuji and Tushan Chen glanced at one another, offering wry smiles: "We haven’t seen Senior Qiankun."

Ye Xuan cast a quick look toward where the Great Ruins Demon Vine had been, figuring that Little Qiankun must have run into some trouble, or else he would have appeared by now.

Yet, he had full faith in Little Qiankun's capabilities.

Without wasting a moment, Ye Xuan commanded: "Follow me."

Tong Wuji and Tushan Chen felt confused yet held their questions, trailing right after Ye Xuan.

Soon, the trio vanished from sight before everyone's eyes.

"They're gone."

The sight baffled the onlookers.

Everyone had anticipated a fierce clash the moment Ye Xuan showed up, particularly as leaves from the World Tree kept drifting down.

No one could afford to let such a chance slip away.

Furthermore, a powerful hunch told them an Immortal Treasure could manifest right here.

Maybe Ye Xuan had overlooked it?

Why opt to depart at this crucial time?

This puzzled the crowd deeply.

Still, they quickly brushed it aside.

For those gathered, Ye Xuan's exit brought nothing but joy!

"Ahhh—"

"Face me if you dare!"

Once Ye Xuan was gone, the Heavenly Winged Little Peng King burst out from under the rubble, seething with rage as he bellowed: "Don’t think that just because you’re at the top of the Mystic Yellow List I’m afraid of you!"

His furious cries made the others exchange odd glances.

"Why didn’t you face off against Ye Xuan while he was here? Why yell about it now?"

Golden Baikong, having grasped the essence of Immortal Gold, stood with hands clasped behind his back and remarked scornfully.

Over the past half month, the pair had clashed repeatedly, trading wins and losses while harboring deep grudges.

"Golden Baikong, you daring to provoke me? Believe me, I’ll slay you!"

Exposed in his bluff, the Heavenly Winged Little Peng King grew grim, letting out a cold sneer.

"I’m not afraid of you!" Golden Baikong shot back with a sneer.

Thus, the two dove back into battle.

At the same time, Ye Xuan guided Tong Wuji and Tushan Chen to reactivate the Emperor Array.

The sudden rise of the World Tree made Ye Xuan feel that Black Candle could emerge on its own.

Each of the Nine Great Immortal Treasures follows its unique principles.

Across endless ages, the Nine Great Immortal Bodies have arisen through these very means.

The Jade Scroll secured by the Mysterious Woman truly records proven methods.

In particular, with so many prodigies assembled, Black Candle might pick one at random.

Though claiming an Immortal Treasure proves unattainable, it could still grant the Dark Immortal Body.
