The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1796 - 1793: Tushan Yi

"That guy is out too..."

Seeing that hand, Ye Xuan’s lips grew slightly dry, his eyes flashing with a sharp glimmer.

For the moment, Ye Xuan had no intention of acting.

Despite the other party’s terrifying presence, it wasn’t yet at a level that threatened Little Qiankun directly.

Conveniently, he needed Little Qiankun’s strength to keep that guy occupied, preventing any interference with his grand scheme.

"You dog, come again!"

Ancestor Qiankun, showing incredible vigor despite his battered state, bellowed loudly before launching another assault towards the colossal hand.

Bang bang bang!

An earth-shattering confrontation commenced once more.

The very ground split asunder, emanating a terrifying aura.

It was only within this Great Ruins, where the formidable Forbidden Power exerted its influence, severely curbing their destructive capabilities, that the world was spared utter devastation!

Boom!

Before long, their battle raged into the subterranean depths, with all sound completely silenced.

This was precisely Ye Xuan’s objective: to operate without any disruptions.

Swish swish swish---

However, just as Ye Xuan prepared to harness the boundless Forbidden Power to claim the World Tree, the Great Ruins Demon Vine, previously routed, materialized once more.

This reappearance was even more ominous.

Not only that, but amidst the myriad of dark, contorted Great Ruins Demon Vines, two blood-red orbs ignited like suns, seemingly poised to shatter the celestial Order Divine Chains and peer down upon Ye Xuan through an impenetrable expanse of black mist.

"So it was you."

Ye Xuan let out a cold snort, his gaze impassive.

The presence of those two blood-red suns unequivocally signaled the arrival of the Great Ruins Demon Vine Ancestor Root.

It was no surprise then that it could repel both the Blood Sea Giant Snake and the Mountain Dragon Transformation, and even overpower the Heavenly Swallowing Toad.

The Great Ruins Demon Vine Ancestor Root stood as one of the most formidable anomalies within the Great Ruins.

Furthermore, given the Great Ruins Demon Vine’s inherent voracious nature, it was inconceivable for it to overlook the World Tree and the Immortal Treasure.

"Hmm?"

At this juncture, Ye Xuan’s brow furrowed slightly.

From within the endless tangle of Great Ruins Demon Vines, another entity began to emerge.

As the countless Great Ruins Demon Vines writhed and swayed, they propelled forth a colossal being.

It was a…

Nine-tailed Fox!

However, its once lustrous fur now appeared dry and brittle, akin to a creature nearing its final breath.

Its entire form was ensnared by the Great Ruins Demon Vines, and even its nine tails were heavily entwined with them, draped like parasitic vines.

"Roar..."

The Nine-tailed Fox emitted a deep growl, causing the very fabric of the void to tremble relentlessly.

Within the oppressive darkness, its crimson eyes blazed with ferocity and deadly intent.

This was a savage beast with a penchant for consuming humans.

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, a sharp glint of killing intent flashing within them.

"Tushan Yi!"

Ye Xuan uttered three simple words.

Revelation of the Nine-tailed Fox’s true identity.

This was the former Azure Hill Fox King, Tushan Yi, who had ventured into the Great Ruins from Azure Hill Mountain ten millennia prior – the great-grandfather of Tushan Chen.

Yet, at this moment, Tushan Yi bore no resemblance to the noble demeanor of an Azure Hill Fox King.

Reduced entirely to a savage beast!

An even more wretched state than the Earth Demon Bull and Sky Luan.

Ye Xuan’s gaze shifted from Tushan Yi, settling instead on the blood-red, sun-like eyes behind it.

He understood implicitly: this was unequivocally the work of the Great Ruins Demon Vine!

Tushan Yi’s vital Qi and spirit had been completely plundered.

And now, Tushan Yi existed merely as a puppet, manipulated by the Great Ruins Demon Vine’s will.

"It appears a confrontation between you and I is unavoidable today."

Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze, releasing a slow, deep exhalation as he spoke in a leisurely tone.

The Great Ruins Demon Vine, by its very nature, possessed limited spiritual intellect, operating primarily on primal instinct.

Bang!

In the subsequent moment, Tushan Yi, under the Great Ruins Demon Vine’s control, tore through the void like a streak of black lightning, traversing the sky at incredible speed.

From behind, its nine tails lashed out in unison, their tips resembling nine colossal Flying Swords aimed straight ahead, adorned with countless writhing Great Ruins Demon Vines, sharp as razors!

Instantly, the nine tails, coupled with the insidious Great Ruins Demon Vines, surged directly towards Ye Xuan’s chest, appearing poised to impale him!

Dong!

Precisely at that critical juncture, a tremendous shockwave reverberated through the air.

Ye Xuan’s frontal defense was enveloped by a swirling Chaos Mist, from which waves of energy rippled outwards.

Within this ethereal Chaos Mist, an Emperor Corpse, radiant in golden light, materialized faintly.

The force of the nine tails struck the Emperor Corpse’s chest, yet it remained utterly unmoved.

Not only that, but it completely annihilated the accompanying Great Ruins Demon Vines.

Tushan Yi’s nine tails impacted the Emperor Corpse’s chest, igniting a shower of incandescent sparks.

In the very next instant, the Emperor Corpse stirred, extending a pair of golden-hued hands from the protective Chaos Mist, seizing Tushan Yi’s nine tails. Following this, it soared skyward, wielding Tushan Yi with immense force.

Boom!

In an instant, it spun thousands of times before being abruptly unleashed, launching Tushan Yi high into the sky past the Great Ruins.

Above the heavens, amidst ink-black clouds pierced by a colossal cloud cavity, Tushan Yi's form vanished from sight.

Immediately after, a burst of clouds erupted from where the Emperor Corpse stood.

The Emperor Corpse, following the immense cloud cavity, broke through the sky to re-engage Tushan Yi in another fierce exchange.

The confrontation concluded in the blink of an eye.

Numerous Order Divine Chains in the sky fractured and snapped.

However, bolstered by the Emperor Array and Ye Xuan's efforts to maintain them, the Order Divine Chains were swiftly re-established.

Roar!

A piercing, enraged roar echoed through the void.

Overwhelming sound waves emanated from the Great Ruins Demon Vine Ancestor Root, causing the void to tremble and the very colors of the world to drain away.

Bang bang bang---

An uncountable number of Order Divine Chains shattered.

The imprisoned World Tree caught a glimpse of an opportunity for freedom.

Yet, in mere moments, the densely packed Great Ruins Demon Vines had already re-entwined the World Tree.

The snapping of the Order Divine Chains was not a rescue, but a move to seize the World Tree!

Witnessing this, Ye Xuan ceased his efforts to maintain the Order Divine Chains.

At this juncture, vanquishing the Great Ruins Demon Vine Ancestor Root was the sole path to claiming the World Tree; all other actions were in vain.

Ye Xuan himself could not directly lay claim to the World Tree.

But to defeat the Great Ruins Demon Vine Ancestor Root.

Even Ye Xuan in his prime past could scarcely accomplish such a feat.

This was because the Great Ruins Demon Vine perpetually resided within the Great Ruins, shielded by the Great Ruins' Forbidden Power.

Even with his current capabilities, Ye Xuan could only ensure a stalemate, preventing either side from achieving victory.

A prolonged battle offered no clear path to triumph.

With this realization dawning, Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and transmitted a message to Qiankun Ancestor: "Little Qiankun, lure that entity towards the Great Ruins Demon Vine Ancestor Root."

Qiankun Ancestor, who was locked in combat with a certain being deep beneath the earth, heard the transmission and immediately complied with the directive.

"You mongrel, come and get me!"

Qiankun Ancestor hurled curses furiously before turning to flee, heading directly for the Great Ruins Demon Vine Ancestor Root.

Pursuing Qiankun Ancestor, the black hand extended three fingers, its touch leaving a trail of torn earth.

Yet, on the surface, an unnerving silence prevailed, creating an illusion of profound tranquility.

Observing Ye Xuan's inaction, the Great Ruins Demon Vine appeared indifferent to him, focusing its entire attention on the task of claiming the World Tree.

Following a brief pause.

Boom!

At the location of the Great Ruins Demon Vine Ancestor Root, the ground violently ripped apart, and the Ancestor Root itself suddenly plunged downwards.

It unleashed a sharp, furious roar.

Filled with unbridled rage and deadly intent!
