The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1791 - 1788: Breaking the Stalemate

Ye Xuan’s decisive three strikes left the assembled crowd utterly astonished.

The top prodigies on the Mystic Yellow List were profoundly shaken by the sheer, terrifying might Ye Xuan displayed.

The tense standoff that had gripped the scene was instantaneously shattered.

With a swift motion, Ye Xuan extended his hand, and the Immortal Treasure, the Black Candle, was drawn directly to him.

Throughout this entire exchange, Chi Lei, the Quasi-Emperor, could only watch with helpless dismay.

Boom!

In the very next moment, Chi Lei’s Quasi-Emperor eyes widened in alarm as thunder from all directions intensified, darkening the sky and unleashing a wave of destructive energy that sent shivers down the spine.

Instantly, Chi Lei’s appearance shifted dramatically, as if he were a completely different being. A ferocious aura enveloped him, his entire form exuding a bizarre, almost non-living essence.

He fixated on the Black Candle as it flew towards Ye Xuan's grasp, his power surging with renewed intensity!

Boom!

Chi Lei transformed into a bolt of black lightning, streaking through the void. He pierced Ye Xuan’s Forbidden Power and lunged for the Black Candle.

"Couldn’t hold back, huh..."

Sensing the drastic turn in Chi Lei's demeanor, Ye Xuan’s lips curved into a slight smile.

Without any overt action on Ye Xuan’s part, a peculiar dark power emanated from him, colliding with Chi Lei and sending the Quasi-Emperor flying backward almost instantly.

Simultaneously, the Black Candle was swept along by this dark power and into Ye Xuan’s waiting hand.

Every single observer clearly witnessed this spectacle.

Only Xiao Zhenlong felt a chilling sense of dread wash over him.

That surge of power immediately transported him back to memories of the Undying Night Emperor.

The one who was hailed as undying and eternally invincible – the Undying Night Emperor!

"He... has regained that power?"

Xiao Zhenlong sighed deeply in his heart, his emotions a tangled mess.

Yet, it was as it was.

Ever since the expedition into the Desolate Realm, he had largely lost his ambition, his only wish now being to attain emperorship in this lifetime and once more challenge Qiankun Ancestor.

As for the Night Emperor...

Xiao Zhenlong’s gaze fell upon the invincible figure now standing triumphantly in the void, having effortlessly broken the stalemate. His heart was filled with a profound mixture of emotions.

Swish, swish, swish!

At this critical juncture, an innumerable swarm of Great Ruins Demons descended from afar, their sheer numbers obscuring the sky.

The sight sent a jolt of pure terror through the assembled prodigies of the Mystic Yellow List, making their scalps tingle!

It was at this moment they truly grasped the horrifying nature of the Great Ruins Demons.

The delicate balance that had previously existed amongst the various monstrous entities had served as a perfect shield, protecting them from the full impact of that demonic power.

But now, with Ye Xuan having disrupted that equilibrium, the Great Ruins Demons unleashed their full, terrifying might!

In mere moments, the sky was completely blotted out by the endless horde of Great Ruins Demons, resembling a vast expanse of monstrous tentacles.

Ye Xuan’s expression remained utterly calm as he cast a sideways glance.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, an immense power erupted forth. The fearsome Forbidden Power unleashed by Ye Xuan instantly overwhelmed the advancing Great Ruins Demons.

All the Great Ruins Demons disintegrated, transforming into a swirling miasma of demon fog.

And rising above this spectral cloud, the Heavenly Swallowing Toad stealthily opened its colossal maw, preparing to devour Ye Xuan.

"To have been able to consume once was already your privilege. Do you truly believe a second attempt is possible?"

Ye Xuan’s voice, though gentle, resonated with the authority of a supreme decree from the Great Emperor himself!

The Heavenly Swallowing Toad, just as it emerged from the demon fog, radiating its terrifying ferocity, was instantly frozen in place, utterly incapable of movement.

The sight was utterly preposterous.

"My god..."

The onlookers remained dumbfounded by what they had just witnessed.

"Is this truly the strongest Reserve Emperor on the Mystic Yellow List..." Duan Qingcang’s expression grew exceedingly grave.

He was undeniably in a league of his own!

Even the second-ranked Zhou Ye was still leagues behind him!

"If only I possessed the Immortal Body, I would undoubtedly be on par with him!"

The Feathered Mysterious Woman's beautiful eyes gleamed with an intense brilliance, a deep sense of regret filling her.

Had Chi Lei arrived just a moment later, the Black Candle would have already transformed her into a Dark Immortal Body.

Alas, it was not to be.

The Feathered Mysterious Woman felt a profound sense of inner turmoil.

She had initially viewed everyone else on the Mystic Yellow List as mere pawns in her game, only to discover that she herself was the pitiful pawn.

And as for Ye Xuan...

The Feathered Mysterious Woman’s gaze was fixed upon the black-robed youth, a realization dawning upon her that he was the one orchestrating everything from afar, playing a game outside the chessboard itself!

Boom!

Just as everyone believed Ye Xuan would now dominate the situation and bring it to a conclusive end, Chi Lei’s Quasi-Emperor form returned with a vengeance!

Endless dark thunder enveloped him, emanating an aura of absolute destruction.

At this moment, Chi Lei the Quasi-Emperor could no longer be recognized as human.

He hunched over, resembling a diabolical, standing wolf, his mouth revealing a set of chillingly white, glistening teeth.

"Roar——"

Chi Lei unleashed a terrifying roar.

In that instant, the entire void seemed to rupture!

Countless bolts of black lightning cascaded down!

"Bow down."

Ye Xuan’s expression remained placid, his hands clasped, his gaze sharp and unwavering!

Rumble——

From beneath the earth, endless Dao Patterns surged towards the heavens.

The formidable Great Ruins Forbidden Power erupted upwards!

At that precise moment, a shiver ran down everyone's spine, as though an unseen force was poised to rip their souls from their bodies. A palpable aura of death descended, blanketing the surroundings.

Boom!

Forbidden Power, descend upon me!

Ye Xuan inwardly let out a quiet cry.

Simultaneously, the Immortal Profound Power surged around him, entwined with the terrifying Forbidden Power! Endless streams of Forbidden Power completely enveloped Ye Xuan.

In that instant, a mere thought from Ye Xuan was enough to obliterate all living beings.

Ye Xuan cast a casual glance at those positioned on the Mystic Yellow List below, showing no inclination to act. His focus instead sharpened on Chi Lei's Quasi-Emperor.

Despite being referred to as Chi Lei's Quasi-Emperor, it was no longer truly so, as Chi Lei's very being was now infused with infinite Forbidden Power.

Just as Ye Xuan had theorized, Chi Lei's survival in a soul state was contingent upon this Forbidden Power.

The fusion of these two entities enabled this potent force to manifest consciousness through Chi Lei, meticulously orchestrating an elaborate scheme.

Their ultimate objective was to employ Chi Lei as a vessel, forge the Immortal Body using the Black Candle, then seize the World Tree to birth an entirely new form of life and escape the confines of the Great Ruins.

This represented the profound wonder of the Great Ruins.

"Let me witness your full capabilities."

Ye Xuan’s expression remained impassive.

In the very next moment, Ye Xuan transmuted into a streak of black light, launching himself into the fray!

"Roar!"

Chi Lei bellowed in fury, utterly fearless and uninhibited.

Their aerial confrontation was nothing short of spectacular!

Boom!

The very world trembled! It felt as though the heavens and earth themselves were on the verge of tearing asunder!

A vast, star-studded expanse materialized out of nowhere.

"What is this sensation??"

Even the typically composed Zhou Ye lost his composure, exclaiming in disbelief: "Creation born from destruction!"

It is a widely acknowledged truth within the Great Sage Realm that the ability to command one's own world bestows a superior Power of World.

However, such a world necessitates stability; any intense conflict risks its obliteration.

Yet, the initial clash between Ye Xuan and Chi Lei appeared to be unleashing an entirely new universe, stunning all onlookers!

Boom, boom, boom!

Ye Xuan’s strikes were akin to surging dragons, each imbued with a might capable of shattering worlds.

Even within the desolate Great Ruins, such power would have undoubtedly captivated the entirety of the Xuanhuang Great World.

"A battle of this magnitude must be documented!"

Hua Ming, hailing from Hua Tian Prefecture, produced a Shadow Stone, intent on capturing the astonishing spectacle.

Boom!

But in the subsequent instant, Hua Ming was violently flung backward, blood erupting from all seven facial orifices, rendering him instantly unconscious!

"If you wish to live, keep your distance."

Ye Xuan's icy voice echoed in the ears of everyone present.
