The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1790: 1787: Appearance

“You are blessed to witness the advent of a Great Emperor.”

Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor’s voice resonated grandly, as if encompassing the entire world.

With a mere flick of Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor’s hand, the Immortal Treasure Black Candle, previously held by Yunhua Mysterious Woman, involuntarily soared toward him.

“Wait a moment, senior!”

Zheng Wushan, enduring immense pressure yet bolstered by Emperor Mu’s decree, managed to stabilize the situation.

He spoke with solemnity, “Senior, Yun Si is a nominal disciple of Emperor Mu. I implore you to show mercy. I believe Emperor Mu will be indebted to you for this favor!”

These words caused a drastic shift in the expressions of all present!

Elder Chu had previously considered revealing this information but was halted by Zheng Wushan, and now Zheng Wushan himself had brought it to light.

It was suddenly clear why Zheng Wushan, a True Destiny Great Sage, held Emperor Mu’s decree; it wasn’t out of regard for him, but for Yunhua Mysterious Woman!

This revelation explained Yunhua Mysterious Woman’s hidden identity.

However, not everyone was taken aback. Zhou Ye, who had prior acquaintance with Yunhua Mysterious Woman, remained composed.

This very identity had been a contributing factor to their past separation.

Today, Zhou Ye harbored no resentment; his heart was tranquil.

Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor, upon hearing Zheng Wushan’s plea, chuckled. “Emperor Mu? A fortunate individual who achieved emperorship in later eras? Under normal circumstances, I might offer some deference, but today…”

“No one shall impede my ascension to Emperor!”

Flashes of lightning flickered within Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor’s eyes, radiating immense power!

“Senior!”

At this critical juncture, Yunhua Mysterious Woman spoke with gravity, “Without the favor of Heavenly Fate, even with an Immortal Body, you cannot attain emperorship. You are well aware of this!”

Many talents from the Mystic Yellow List had their eyes gleam with understanding.

The concept of Heavenly Fate carried immense weight.

Becoming an Emperor seemed forever barred by these two words.

To achieve emperorship, one must bear the Heavenly Fate of an era!

Otherwise, Heavenly Dao would not recognize them, leading to suppression!

Why did the End of Dharma Era commence after the Double Emperors ascended to their peak nine million years ago?

In essence, it was a backlash from Heavenly Dao.

This occurred because both sought to claim the Heavenly Fate of an era.

He who successfully claims it ascends to the pinnacle.

As for why the Double Emperors have not yet clashed, it is simple: Heavenly Dao’s suppression remains. Heavenly Fate has not yet manifested, and even if they were to fight now and determine a victor, no substantial gains would be achieved.

In a way, the Double Emperors have still not reached the apex.

“Ah, how fortunate to possess the Heavenly Fate.”

Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor let out a laugh. “The fact that you can utter such words reveals your profound foolishness and ignorance.”

“Today, I shall demonstrate to you what it truly means to have Heavenly Fate on one’s side!”

Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor drew the Immortal Treasure Black Candle closer, intending to forge a Dark Immortal Body.

Due to the disruption of Yunhua Mysterious Woman’s Dark Immortal Body, the Black Candle's power continued to emanate.

This, precisely, became an advantage for Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor.

“Hahaha…”

In that moment, Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor seemed to truly embody the concept of having Heavenly Fate by his side!

Boom!

However, at this very instant, the Great Ruins Demon Vine, entwined around the root of the World Tree, suddenly made its move. It instantly coiled around the Black Candle, aiming to seize both the Black Candle and the World Tree simultaneously!

“Hmm?!”

Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor was immediately startled, clearly unprepared for the fearsome might of the Great Ruins Demon Vine, capable of grasping both the World Tree and the Black Candle at once.

Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor struggled to reclaim his prize, but the Great Ruins Demon Vine’s power was already evident. Despite his strength, Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor found himself unable to easily contend with it.

It wasn't just Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor; even Qiankun Ancestor of Divine Enthronement had spent three days merely to suppress it.

Now, bolstered by ancestral roots, the Great Ruins Demon Vine was even more formidable, making it exceedingly difficult to subdue.

Once again, the situation reached a stalemate.

In the far reaches of the horizon, Ye Xuan, observing these events unfold, wore an exceptionally peculiar expression.

Truth be told, he had not anticipated that the emerging entity would be Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor.

From the outset, Ye Xuan had surmised that a peerless figure might be lurking, yet he had never suspected Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor.

After all, to Ye Xuan, a mere Quasi-Emperor held little significance.

“It seems the true formidable presence lies further ahead…”

Ye Xuan smirked, his gaze returning to a state of calm.

Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor's arrival seemed to signal the unraveling of a carefully orchestrated conspiracy, with Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor pulling the strings from the shadows.

However, Ye Xuan detected a peculiar detail.

Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor lacked a physical body.

His corporeal form had long since ceased to exist.

To retain a soul form for three million years without a body might not be an insurmountable feat for a Quasi-Emperor.

But one must not forget the nature of the Great Ruins!

It is one of Xuanhuang's Nine Forbidden Lands, an ancient realm dating back to the Immortal Ancient Era.

Within its confines lie perpetual dangers, ever poised to consume the unwary.

How could a mere soul possibly endure such an environment?

“I have ventured into the Great Ruins eight times, yet I have never encountered a being with fully awakened Spiritual Wisdom…”

Ye Xuan gazed into the distance, murmuring softly, “The Great Ruins has no Sovereign, implying that an anomaly has occurred.”

“This anomaly desires to claim the World Tree, covets the Black Candle, and requires a vessel to escape the Great Ruins.”

To survive within the Great Ruins, the soul of Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor must have remained intact, anticipating the emergence of both the Black Candle and the World Tree.

Ye Xuan contemplated for a moment, deciding against further delay.

The time had come for his own unveiling.

Ye Xuan rose, his eyes hardening.

With each inhalation, the aura surrounding him intensified, as if imbued with the very essence of the Power of Dao.

Boom!

In the very next instant, Ye Xuan crossed immeasurable distances, materializing on the battlefield in a flash!

Ye Xuan’s gaze settled upon Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor, and he spoke with measured calm, “Reveal yourself, for you stand no chance.”

“Ye Xuan?!”

A wave of astonishment swept through the onlookers. Why had Ye Xuan suddenly appeared? How could he ascend so high, seemingly unfazed by the backlash of the Great Ruins’ Forbidden Power?

Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor, who was engrossed in his struggle with the Great Ruins Demon Vine, was visibly startled by Ye Xuan’s sudden presence. However, he quickly retorted with a cold sneer, “Insignificant one, depart and do not impede my progress.”

Ye Xuan’s expression remained impassive as he gently gestured with his hand.

Thunderous!

Instantly, an overwhelming and irresistible force materialized, engulfing Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor in its immensity!

Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor recoiled in shock, “Forbidden Power?! How is this conceivable?!”

Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor was utterly flabbergasted.

What manner of monstrous being was this youth, capable of wielding the Forbidden Power of the Great Ruins?!

As Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor found himself ensnared by Ye Xuan’s Forbidden Power, the Great Ruins Demon Vine seized the opportune moment, its attention now fixed upon the Black Candle.

Ye Xuan extended his hand once more.

All the Great Ruins Demon Vines were instantaneously severed.

Furthermore, this time, the severed Great Ruins Demon Vines dissolved into a cloud of black mist, vanishing into the void, their regenerative capabilities nullified.

The Emperor Array deployed by Ye Xuan drew its power from the Great Ruins Forbidden Power itself, a fact unknown to all.

Ye Xuan gestured a final time.

The colossal Heavenly Swallowing Toad was effortlessly overturned and sent hurtling away.

With three mere gestures, the stalemate was shattered.

The prowess of a Forbidden Land God was laid bare for all to witness!
