The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1784 - 1781: The Emperor Array Activates, the Immortal Treasure Emerges

The Crimson Dragon issued a low, almost reluctant, dragon’s song. Yet, it understood the strictures of the Great Ruins and, without lingering, vanished into the desolate expanse. Ye Xuan watched the Crimson Dragon depart, his gaze then retracting. Seated in meditation atop the precipice, Ye Xuan produced a top-tier Spiritual Pattern Pen and began tracing lines in the empty air. With the initial stroke, vital energy from all directions surged inward with immense speed, momentarily conjuring tempestuous clouds. Ye Xuan’s movements were swift and precise, weaving intricate Dao Patterns into the void. Each completed Dao Pattern would erupt in a flash of light before assimilating into the world and fading from sight. Time flowed onward. Until, at a specific juncture, an awe-inspiring orange Mysterious Light pierced the heavens from a distant sky, manifesting as a Divine Light Heavenly Pillar! Upon closer inspection, the apex of this pillar revealed a palm-sized ancient array map, rotating with mystical energy and emitting a formidable power. This potent energy seamlessly merged with the Dao Patterns Ye Xuan had meticulously drawn. Subsequently, a terrifying aura, enveloping the vast expanse of the Great Ruins, began to stir, as if some ancient, ferocious entity slumbering deep beneath the earth was slowly awakening. Concurrently, within the desert adjacent to Ye Xuan’s location, atop the highest tier of the Sky-reaching Tower, Tushan Chen employed spiritual energy to nurture a single drop of water. The drop vanished, but at that exact instant, every living creature within the Great Ruins perceived the distinct sound of falling raindrops. It was at this precise moment that Ye Xuan set down his Spiritual Pattern Pen, rising to his full height and gazing into the distance. Familiar Dao Patterns, one after another, flickered into existence. The Emperor Array, long dormant, was being reawakened. Ye Xuan did not seek out Tong Wuji and Tushan Chen for a reunion, recognizing that both were currently embarking on their individual quests for destiny. And Ye Xuan himself now needed to acquire the World Tree. Furthermore… The Immortal Treasure, the Black Candle, had indeed materialized near the World Tree. At this very moment, beside the World Tree, a completely black candle appeared from thin air, a dark flame flickering atop its wick. This was no other than one of the Nine Great Immortal Treasures – the Dark Immortal Treasure — the Black Candle! A formidable Immortal Treasure capable of forging the Dark Immortal Body! It appeared with an unnerving quietude and stealth, without any prior indication. Nevertheless, the power contained within the Immortal Treasure was exceptionally peculiar, immediately capturing the attention of all present. Every individual’s gaze was drawn, almost in unison, towards the Black Candle. “What is that thing?!” Those who had been vying for the fallen leaves of the World Tree exclaimed in shock upon spotting the Black Candle. “An Immortal Treasure?!” The elders from the Yuhua Immortal Sect, including Elder Chu himself, widened their eyes, their breathing growing ragged. However, none had ever witnessed the Black Candle before, nor did they recognize it as one of the Nine Great Immortal Treasures, a Dark Immortal Treasure; their conjectures were merely guesses. “Could an Immortal Treasure possess such a demonic aura?” Zheng Wushan frowned, disinclined to believe it was an Immortal Treasure. In truth, let alone an Immortal Treasure, they had never even encountered an Immortal Body. Even the Twin Emperors who ascended to the zenith of power ninety thousand years ago were not Immortal Bodies. “This object is undoubtedly extraordinary; it must be seized!” Even without fully identifying the Black Candle, every person present shared this resolute thought. Who wouldn’t want to seize it and investigate if it truly was an Immortal Treasure? “Kill!” Once again, it was the Little Peng King with Heavenly Wings, moving with astonishing speed; even a True Destiny Great Sage might not match his swiftness. At this juncture, those in the Great Sage Realm constituted the primary combatants, with a scarcity of True Destiny Great Sages. This, of course, did not account for certain ancient powerhouses who were observing covertly from the sidelines. Among these clandestine observers were not only Invincible Great Sages but even existences of the Great Saint level possessing unparalleled might. “Foolish bird, you are unworthy of possessing such an artifact!” Jin Baikong, the long-standing adversary of the Heavenly Wings Little Peng King, also plunged into the conflict. Yet, the number of combatants surged far beyond these few; Xiao Zhenlong, the Thousand Absolute Saint Heir, Ziwei Saint, the Rakshasa Holy Daughter, Emperor Chi Mei, and numerous others also launched their attacks. At this moment, the contest for the World Tree leaves escalated into an even more breathtaking spectacle compared to before. The Mysterious Woman of Yuhua unleashed her full power without reservation, her aura radiating outwards, enveloping the other members of the Mystic Yellow List in waves of ethereal light! “So, this is the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua…” Hai Dong, finding himself amidst the throng, also experienced the formidable might of the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua.

Even though they were both situated in Xuanzhou, there had been no prior interaction between them. Within his strategy, he planned to learn from her this time, aiming to leverage her Thousand Mysterious Saint Body and pilfer some Divine Skills.

It presented an ideal window of opportunity.

Regarding the seemingly Immortal Treasure, Black Candle, Hai Dong understood he lacked the standing to contend for it.

Setting aside the fact that only the younger generation was meant to compete, ultimately, their success would hinge upon the power backing them.

Regardless of their individual strength, influential figures such as the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua or the Thousand Absolute Saint Heir were supported by invincible Great Emperor Immortal Sects.

He, a mere member of the Loose Cultivation Alliance, possessed nothing to challenge such formidable forces.

This reality was crystal clear to Hai Dong.

Therefore, muddying the waters was his chosen tactic.

Boom!

The Little Peng King, Swift with Heavenly Wings, moved with such incredible speed that it drew concentrated fire. Despite possessing the ancient bloodline of the heavenly-winged great Peng, he could not withstand the onslaught, bleeding profusely in mid-air.

The elder demon accompanying the Heavenly Wings Little Peng King did not immediately intervene, recognizing that the opportune moment had not yet arrived.

"This treasure is mine!"

Jin Baikong surged forward, his determination radiating, aiming to seize the prize.

"Begone!" Chi Yan, exuding an overwhelming aura, unleashed his two entwined Fire Dragons. They shot forth as he threw a punch that shattered the void, hurtling towards Jin Baikong's back.

However, Jin Baikong was resolute in his quest for the Black Candle, even willing to endure a blow to his back!

Boom!

The punch struck Jin Baikong's back directly, erupting in a shower of sparks.

A grunt escaped Jin Baikong, but the impact propelled him closer to the Black Candle.

His plan had succeeded!

"What are you plotting?" Just then, clad in a purple robe, reminiscent of the ascension of the Ziwei Emperor, the Ziwei Saint Heir materialized before Jin Baikong, turning back with a cool demeanor to inquire.

"Ziwei Doushu!"

Jin Baikong's expression soured slightly as he grasped the background of the Ziwei Saint Heir, another formidable contender on the Mystic Yellow List.

This individual hailed from the most ancient lineage within the Beiming Sea Domain, a peerless prodigy of the Ziwei Sacred Land!

Remarkably, this person, much like Ye Xuan, originated from Daozhou!

Swish————

At this critical juncture, Du Qiuzhe navigated his sword, piercing through the air and bypassing the Ziwei Saint Heir.

Yet, another terrifying presence, the Thousand Absolute Saint Heir, whose fists wielded invincible might, brutally carved a path forward, forcefully sending Du Qiuzhe hurtling away.

Du Qiuzhe's body was left half-crippled.

At their level of cultivation, such an injury, while severe, did not result in immediate death.

This devastating setback effectively stripped Du Qiuzhe and his companions of their ability to vie for the Black Candle.

The Mystic Yellow List comprised thirty-six esteemed positions.

The higher the rank, the more formidable the individual!

The Thousand Absolute Saint Heir was a monstrous talent, undoubtedly among the top five.

Despite Du Qiuzhe's valiant rise against the odds, a significant gulf remained between his capabilities and those of the Thousand Absolute Saint Heir.
