The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1792 - 1789: Strolling Leisurely in the Courtyard

"If you don’t want to die, get lost!"

Ye Xuan’s stern voice echoed, leaving no room for doubt.

Hua Ming, who held the eighteenth position on the Mystic Yellow List and hailed as a peerless genius from Hua Tian Prefecture in the Earth State, was left severely wounded and unconscious on the spot!

The onlookers were stunned, witnessing Ye Xuan’s formidable power.

Especially the Little Peng King, who had previously been sent flying by Ye Xuan, instinctively flinched, a hint of fear creeping into his demeanor.

Though his ranking was higher than Hua Ming’s on the Mystic Yellow List, their actual combat strengths were nearly identical. This realization made him acknowledge that Ye Xuan had indeed been holding back before.

"Could this fellow have already attained the realm of the Invincible Great Sage?"

The Little Peng King was utterly perplexed. "But even then, it doesn’t compute! His adversary is Chi Lei, a Quasi-Emperor. Even if Chi Lei isn’t at his peak, he remains a Quasi-Emperor. Without the Heavenly Dao Suppression within the Great Ruins, what right does Ye Xuan have to contend with a Quasi-Emperor?!"

"Could it be..."

"Is this person’s true cultivation level that of a Quasi-Emperor?!"

The Little Peng King gasped in astonishment at this sudden realization.

"That’s impossible. He’s only been cultivating for roughly three to four years. Achieving the Great Sage Realm is a testament to extraordinary talent, but progressing beyond that is unfathomable."

The Ziwei Saint Heir spoke, his voice measured.

His words effectively dismissed the Little Peng King’s hypothesis.

After all, the Ziwei Saint Heir, originating from Daozhou just like Ye Xuan, possessed mastery over the Ziwei Doushu.

Nevertheless, these pronouncements only deepened the disbelief among the assembled celestial prodigies.

"He has only been cultivating for three to four years??"

The Water Fairy Holy Daughter from the Divine Continent was rendered speechless.

They had previously encountered Ye Xuan in the Endless Sea. At that time, they were unaware of his true identity but recognized his exceptional power.

Discovering Ye Xuan’s identity now did not elicit immense shock.

However, the revelation that Ye Xuan’s cultivation spanned merely three to four years sent ripples of unease through everyone.

How could such might be acquired in such a remarkably brief period of cultivation?

While the individuals ranked on the Mystic Yellow List were undeniably peerless talents of their generation, they had typically cultivated for decades, if not centuries.

Even with such extensive training, these talents were considered the most formidable across the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

Yet, in comparison to Ye Xuan, they felt their own so-called supreme talents were utterly insignificant.

There was simply no common ground for comparison.

A wave of dejection washed over many, leaving them deeply disheartened.

"This guy..."

Amidst the crowd, the most visibly troubled was the Thousand Absolutes Saint Heir. He belonged to the same generation as Ye Xuan’s mother, yet he found himself unable to measure up to Ye Xuan’s current prowess.

It is worth noting that prior to the arranged battle back then, Ye Xuan’s mother, Jiang Ye, was a Reserve Emperor who held the third position on the Mystic Yellow List!

"Forget it..."

The Thousand Absolutes Saint Heir’s gaze grew somber as he averted his eyes, turning his attention back towards the World Tree.

At this juncture, Ye Xuan was engaged in a fierce battle with Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor, while both the Heavenly Swallowing Toad and the Great Ruins Demon Vine remained suppressed, leaving the World Tree untouched by their conflict.

Without a word, the Thousand Absolutes Saint Heir immediately advanced towards the World Tree, intending to absorb more of its potent energy.

Others, such as the Mysterious Woman of Transformation, harbored similar ambitions.

Consequently, a contingent of celestial prodigies surged towards the World Tree, seeking to leverage the opportunity for continuous breakthroughs in their cultivation realms!

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan had already ascended into the heavens beyond the Great Ruins, locked in combat with Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor!

Each exchange between them seemed to birth and annihilate entire universes in rapid succession.

This cataclysmic effect was restrained by the overwhelming Forbidden Power of the Great Ruins, which prevented such grand manifestations from occurring.

Desert Sky-reaching Tower.

Tushan Chen had faithfully executed Ye Xuan’s directive and, utilizing the Guiding Divine Light of the Sky-reaching Tower, had successfully entered the sky outside the Great Ruins.

Upon his arrival beyond the Great Ruins, Tushan Chen beheld a vista unlike anything he had ever witnessed.

Instantly, Tushan Chen perceived numerous Dao opportunities unfolding before him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Tushan Chen commenced his Enlightenment amidst the heavens.

After a passage of time, Tushan Chen distinctly sensed two immensely powerful forces locked in a perpetual clash, compelling him to relinquish his meditative state and open his eyes.

Upon witnessing the awe-inspiring spectacle, Tushan Chen’s jaw dropped in utter disbelief.

"Emperor Ye?!"

The individuals dominating Tushan Chen’s field of vision were none other than Ye Xuan and Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor!

At that moment, Ye Xuan and Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor also became aware of Tushan Chen’s presence.

Hearing Tushan Chen’s exclamation, Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor immediately shifted his focus and surged towards Tushan Chen.

A deathly premonition instantly gripped Tushan Chen, sending an icy shiver down his spine.

"Fear not," Ye Xuan's voice echoed within Tushan Chen's mind at that critical moment. "Use this power to restrain him."

As the words faded, Tushan Chen felt an inexplicable, sinister force surge around him, granting him an uncanny control over his own body!

"What a strange power!"

Upon grasping this newfound ability, Tushan Chen felt an overwhelming sensation, as if he could obliterate all life in existence!

However, Tushan Chen did not deviate from Ye Xuan's command. Glancing at the charging Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor, a cold snort escaped his lips!

Boom!

Suddenly, nine tails materialized behind Tushan Chen!

Yet, these tails were no longer pristine; they pulsed with a dark, ominous energy!

Propelling forth like immense celestial pillars, the nine tails surged skyward before descending from multiple angles, ensnaring Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor in their midst!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Trapped, the Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor thrashed violently, attempting to break free with brute force, but his efforts proved futile.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan descended with silent grace, positioning himself above the struggling Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor, reminiscent of a predator contemplating its prey. His mind was immersed in profound thought.

"When I compelled it to manifest, it became extremely agitated, eager to dispatch me and seize the Black Candle..."

Narrowing his eyes as he observed Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor, Ye Xuan gradually deduced, "It seems you are not as formidable as I initially believed."

With a mere thought, Ye Xuan summoned a crimson flame, resembling a blooming red lotus, from the void.

"Go," Ye Xuan whispered softly.

The Red Lotus Karma Fire transformed instantly into a ray of vermillion light, vanishing precisely between Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor's brows.

This action, however, did not subdue Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor. Instead, it ignited his fury further, causing his entire being to erupt with terrifying phantom beasts formed from ethereal forbidden power, all lunging towards Ye Xuan!

Among them were colossal serpents, monstrous swallowing toads, divine Qilins wreathed in holy flames, and formidable earth demons – beasts of legend!

These were all unparalleled ferocious beasts found within the Great Ruins!

Ye Xuan rested one hand behind his back, while his other hand lightly brushed against the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd at his waist.

With a swift 'whoosh,' a beam of sword light erupted!

Guo Hezu emerged from its sheath.

Every single one of the phantom beasts was bisected cleanly.

Reverting to their ethereal forbidden power state, they lingered briefly in the air before coalescing once more around Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor.

"Ah————"

At this moment, Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor found himself in dire straits, clutching his head and howling in agony.

The forbidden power was unable to approach, merely swirling impotently around him.

Witnessing this, Ye Xuan's lips curved into a faint smile, his gaze serene.

"Allow me to offer you a more potent remedy."

Ye Xuan raised his right hand slightly, and a black box materialized from thin air, emanating an ancient and sinister aura.

The Soul Box!

With a sudden crack, the Soul Box sprang open.

An immense devouring power surged forth, intent on consuming Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor whole!
