The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1793: 1790: The Invincible Ye Xuan

With a Boom!, the emergence of the Soul Box unleashed a terrifying Power Of Devouring that instantly halted the struggles of Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor.

A roar escaped Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor as, before his very eyes, a black Divine Light ascended from his Heavenly Spirit, hurtling towards the Soul Box.

Whish! The Soul Box fractured open, swallowing the dark Mysterious Light whole.

The Forbidden Power constricting Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor vanished, and he returned to his former state, still encased in thunderous energy. However, a profound terror now gripped him, as if he had confronted the most dreadful foe imaginable.

Ye Xuan observed this and promptly sealed the Soul Box.

A sense of immense relief washed over Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor. He looked towards Ye Xuan, his eyes shimmering with newfound light, and clasped his hands in gratitude. “Thank you, young friend.”

Ye Xuan offered a faint smile. “It appears you have endured considerable torment.”

Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor responded with a wry smile, “A mere thirty million years… that is all.”

From his initial venture into the Great Ruins seeking the path to become a Great Emperor, to his subsequent entrapment, his impending demise, and the corruption by the Great Ruins Forbidden Power, he had been locked in a thirty-million-year struggle!

Only now, for the first time, did Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor feel a profound sense of liberation, akin to the clearing of a storm-laden sky!

After an arduous thirty million years, he could finally draw a deep breath.

“What are your intentions now?”

Ye Xuan’s gaze was calm as he inquired, a subtle smile playing on his lips.

Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor shook his head. “My physical form perished thirty million years ago; only my Divine Soul has lingered. My sole desire is to depart the Great Ruins and reconstruct my body.”

“Oh?” Ye Xuan chuckled. “So, you have no intention of attempting to possess my body?”

At these words, a flicker of cold killing intent crossed Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor’s eyes, though it quickly subsided. He then smiled. “You jest, young friend. Regardless of anything, you are my savior. How could I possibly commit such an act of ingratitude?”

Ye Xuan’s smile broadened. “Is that so?”

Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor’s smile was earnest. “Absolutely!”

Ye Xuan let go of his smile and gestured. “Then, proceed with your explanation.”

Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor was momentarily taken aback. “What does young friend wish to know?”

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. “What do you surmise?”

Although Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor had been under duress, the consciousness originating from the Great Ruins Forbidden Power had wielded him as its vessel.

Consequently, their connection was absolute, enabling Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor full knowledge of all that transpired behind the scenes.

Conversely, the Great Ruins Forbidden Power was also privy to all of Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor’s experiences.

How else could the limited consciousness of the Great Ruins Forbidden Power have orchestrated such a sophisticated plot?

This was a realization Ye Xuan had firmly grasped following his engagement with Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor.

“Young friend seeks knowledge about that… that monster, correct?”

Sensing his concealment was futile, Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor spoke with a heavy heart. “Truthfully, I never anticipated a being of such monstrous nature emerging from within me, utilizing my very power to orchestrate this scheme. Fortunately, young friend intervened, averting consequences that could have been beyond comprehension.”

Ye Xuan displayed a hint of impatience. “Very well, if you are unwilling to elaborate, I shall uncover it myself.”

Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor’s eyes narrowed, and thunder crackled around him. “Does young friend distrust me?”

Ye Xuan’s voice turned cold. “I extended an opportunity, but you failed to seize it.”

As he spoke, the Invincible Emperor Soul unfurled its power.

A formidable Emperor’s Shadow materialized behind Ye Xuan.

Simultaneously, the Immortal Profound Power that had enveloped Ye Xuan suddenly wrapped itself around the Emperor’s Shadow.

At this precise moment, Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor’s scalp tingled, his gaze fixed upon Ye Xuan in disbelief. He cried out, “It is you?!”

“The Undying Night Emperor?!”

Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor uttered each word slowly, and by the time he finished, cold sweat was drenching him, his face exceptionally pale!

Thirty million years prior, he had ventured into and exited the Great Ruins.

During that era, those venturing into the Great Ruins were the preeminent powerhouses of the time, with no fewer than ten Quasi-Emperors among them.

At that juncture, the conflict for Tian Ming was still raging.

All the Quasi-Emperors who had entered the Great Ruins were in pursuit of the chance to attain Great Emperorship.

Within the Great Ruins, he had personally witnessed three Quasi-Emperors engaged in a fierce battle against a terrifying fiend.

This fiend was humanoid in form, potent power swirling around its entire being.

The reason for the three Quasi-Emperors’ concerted assault stemmed from this fiend’s possession of a Heaven and Earth Dao Seed!

But what precisely constituted a Heaven and Earth Dao Seed?

This was a Dao seed, a natural birth from the very fabric of existence. Upon reaching maturity, it could yield a Tao Fruit. Consuming this fruit would grant even mortals the boon of Dao Immortality, and for cultivators, it offered a path to touch upon Tian Ming. Even without the fruit, merely contemplating the Dao Seed could lead one to comprehend Tian Ming.

For any cultivator at the Quasi-Emperor Realm, such a treasure was an unparalleled resource!

Observing it, Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor felt a potent surge of desire, contemplating whether he should make a move. After all, the three Quasi-Emperors present were indeed the most formidable among the ten who had ventured into the Great Ruins!

However, what transpired next was a sight so terrifying that Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor would be haunted by it for the rest of his days!

He witnessed the monstrous being raise a single finger, and in that instant, the three Quasi-Emperors were reduced to mere dust, their True Spirits utterly annihilated, vanishing without a trace!

A profound terror seized Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor.

Later, another Quasi-Emperor would mention that this formidable entity bore an uncanny resemblance to the legendary Undying Night Emperor.

In that moment, Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor seared the name of the Undying Night Emperor into his memory, vowing to himself that he must never provoke this individual until he himself achieved the Emperor realm.

Never in his wildest dreams could Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor have imagined that, after being imprisoned within the Great Ruins for a staggering thirty million years, only to finally break free, he would once again cross paths with the Undying Night Emperor?!

“You recognize me?”

Ye Xuan expressed a degree of surprise, as his recollection held no prior connection with this Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor.

Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor, with haste, replied, “Please grant me your forgiveness, Night Emperor. I will reveal everything I know without reservation!”

Ye Xuan offered a calm, indifferent smile and spoke gently, “It is too late.”

The chance had already been presented. Regardless of whether this individual knew him or not, Ye Xuan had already resolved to eliminate him.

Prior to that, however, Ye Xuan intended to perform a Soul Search.

This was a necessary precaution, a measure to guard against any potential ulterior motives or involvement from others.

“No!”

“Night Emperor, I am willing to serve you like a loyal dog or horse! I implore you, spare my life!”

An overwhelming panic gripped Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor as he repeatedly pleaded for mercy.

Having directly witnessed Ye Xuan’s awe-inspiring power, he understood that even in his prime, he stood no chance against the Undying Night Emperor in his current state as a mere Divine Soul. Certain doom awaited him!

Ye Xuan paid him no heed; his Invincible Emperor Soul forcefully penetrated the deepest recesses of Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor’s soul!

Despite Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor's former might, thirty million years of enduring torment had left his Divine Soul exceptionally frail. He had been subsisting on the Great Ruins' Forbidden Power prior to this encounter.

Facing Ye Xuan’s continually perfected Invincible Emperor Soul, he possessed absolutely no means of resistance.

Before long, Ye Xuan shattered Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor’s defenses, initiating the profound process of Soul Search.

This intense Soul Search persisted for an entire seven days.

By the time Ye Xuan’s eyes fluttered open, Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor was teetering on the precipice of oblivion.

With a simple gesture, Ye Xuan raised a finger and extinguished Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor’s Divine Soul entirely.

“So, that’s how it is…”

Ye Xuan softly murmured, his eyes alight with dawning realization: “Following such profound and drastic upheavals, the Emperor Road shall manifest sooner than anticipated!”
