The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1797 - 1794: Collecting the World Tree
Previously on The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor...
Roar! Roar!
The Great Ruins Demon Vine Ancestor Root was utterly enraged; while its core focus was ensnaring the World Tree, its Ancestor Nest was unexpectedly breached by an intruder.
The Qiankun Ancestor, acting on Ye Xuan’s directive, guided the monstrous entity towards the Demon Vine Ancestor Root’s domain. Although the Qiankun Ancestor lacked the power to breach the Ancestor Nest himself,
the colossal three-fingered hand extending from behind him wielded a terrifying might capable of cleaving the very heavens and splitting the earth.
In mere moments, the Ancestor Nest of the Great Ruins Demon Vine Ancestor Root was violently torn asunder.
Swiftly, an unending torrent of Great Ruins Demon Vines, ebony like ink, surged forth like ferocious Flood Dragons, assailing the Qiankun Ancestor and the massive hand.
"Oh heavens, we are finished!"
The Qiankun Ancestor’s countenance drained of color; he yearned to escape but found the surrounding void had collapsed, and even time itself had been thrown into disarray.
"Master!"
The Qiankun Ancestor cried out, perspiration beading on his forehead.
"Why do you call out? You possess no Essence Blood,"
Ye Xuan’s voice resonated within the Qiankun Ancestor’s mind.
Hearing this, the Qiankun Ancestor’s thoughts cleared: Indeed, I am not human, what is there to fear!
Bang!
Subsequently, akin to raging Flood Dragons, the Great Ruins Demon Vines instantaneously coiled around the Qiankun Ancestor, voraciously consuming him.
"Cease your devouring, you cannot swallow this Ancestor whole,"
The Qiankun Ancestor remained unfazed, taunting with a smile.
The Demon Vine Ancestor Root's true target was not the Qiankun Ancestor. Instead, more Demon Vines transformed into serpentine Flood Dragons from the surging sea, entangling the colossal three-fingered hand.
In an instant, the massive hand was completely obscured by a myriad of Great Ruins Demon Vines, vanishing without a trace.
This act, however, incited the owner of the giant hand to extreme fury.
Accompanied by a bestial roar that defied human vocalization, the very fabric of the world trembled.
Next, in the distant mountains, it was as if a gargantuan earth bull had overturned, directly upheaving the ground!
The land spanning millions of miles was seemingly shoveled away!
Like an unstoppable tidal wave, it swept beyond the skies of the Great Ruins, violently crashing towards the Demon Vine Ancestor Root!
"Go!"
Witnessing this spectacle, Ye Xuan missed no time. He re-secured the Order Divine Chains around the World Tree, then fully activated his Taoist Body and Emperor Array.
Crack crack crack crack ————
The World Tree was forcefully wrenched from that fragment of the void by Ye Xuan.
Instantly, the void plunged into utter darkness, radiating chaotic World Power.
Ye Xuan employed his immense and profound Forbidden Power, coercing the World Tree onto a towering colossal peak in the distance.
There, a formidable Big Snake was coiled around the sky-piercing giant peak.
As Ye Xuan descended with the World Tree, the Big Snake revealed its true essence, transforming into a vast Blood Sea.
As though sensing the World Tree's arrival, the Blood Sea churned anew, its tidal waves surging, and within each crest, ancient formidable figures materialized.
These were peerless warriors from bygone eras, all consumed by the Blood Sea!
From within the Blood Sea, another Big Snake emerged, its maw gaping, poised to engulf Ye Xuan and the World Tree!
Rumble!
However, upon colliding with the World Tree's endless roots, the Big Snake realized its mouth was insufficient for the task; it could not swallow and was repelled back into the Blood Sea.
Along with the multitude of ancient formidable figures atop the waves, all were annihilated by the World Tree.
Truly terrifying!
The vast Blood Sea was instantly inundated by the World Tree.
Falling into profound silence.
"Still not gone?"
After stabilizing the World Tree, Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed as he muttered to himself.
Ye Xuan gestured with his large hand.
Boom!
Immediately, a surge of extensive Forbidden Power erupted forth.
Outside the Blood Sea, the Heavenly Swallowing Toad silently opened its immense mouth, aiming to devour the Blood Sea, the World Tree, and Ye Xuan all in one go!
The Forbidden Power shot outwards but failed to strike the Heavenly Swallowing Toad.
Upon its approach, the Forbidden Power seemed to gain sentience, transforming into Order Divine Chains in mid-air, entangling the Heavenly Swallowing Toad, and then abruptly yanking.
Boom!
The Heavenly Swallowing Toad was directly dragged into the Blood Sea, its form appearing beneath the World Tree, adjacent to Ye Xuan.
Constrained by the Forbidden Power, the Heavenly Swallowing Toad continuously contracted.
Merely moments later, its size diminished to that of a mere person, entirely black, emitting a guttural 'gua' sound.
"Everyone is simply insatiable, overreaching their grasp,"
Ye Xuan snorted softly, tugging on the Order Divine Chains and hurling the thoroughly subdued Heavenly Swallowing Toad directly onto the leaves of the World Tree.
The Heavenly Swallowing Toad, which had initially harbored ambitions of devouring the World Tree, found itself reduced to the size of dust upon landing on the leaves, rendering it incapable of further harm to the World Tree.
This sneaky old fart can finally do no more harm. Meanwhile, amidst the chaos, the Qiankun Ancestor managed to break free from the Great Ruins Demon Vine’s grip and rushed toward the ground. "Heavens above!" Arriving at the ground, he was met with a vast expanse of darkness. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the entire surface of the Great Ruins had been scooped away, moving towards the Demon Vine Ancestor Root. "Infinite heaven and earth, Qiankun follows the law!" The Qiankun Ancestor slammed his foot down in mid-air, simultaneously forming a hand seal. Whoosh! In the blink of an eye, the Qiankun Ancestor vanished from his original spot. He reappeared on another side. Looking down, it was still a mass of darkness. Indeed, the entire ground of the Great Ruins had been leveled. Only a monster like the Great Ruins could accomplish such an astonishing feat. The Qiankun Ancestor targeted the area of the Blood Sea, took a step that shifted worlds, and instantly arrived next to Ye Xuan, a grin on his face. "Master, it is done!" "Well done." Ye Xuan gave a slight nod. "What now?" the Qiankun Ancestor inquired. "Protect me, I intend to collect the World Tree," Ye Xuan stated. "How are we going to collect this thing?" The Qiankun Ancestor blinked. Ye Xuan’s gaze shifted to the Qiankun Ancestor. The smile on the Qiankun Ancestor’s face instantly stiffened, and he waved his hands repeatedly. "No, Master, this thing is enormous; it will burst me!" Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm as he plainly replied, "Stop dawdling." The Qiankun Ancestor grimaced. "Master, you big liar, didn’t you say you would have me as your protector?" Ye Xuan’s lips curled. "If you manifest your true form, wouldn't that be a better way to protect me?" The Qiankun Ancestor sighed but did not delay, transforming directly into his true form. It was an ancient Qiankun Pot. Within the Qiankun Ancestor resided an Infinite Great World, a self-forming Qian Kun capable of containing all things in existence. It was also one of the rare artifacts capable of directly collecting the World Tree. "What is Big Bro doing now?" As the Qiankun Ancestor transformed into his true form, a little girl in a black dress descended, awakened by the transformation. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and mumbled. However, upon witnessing Ye Xuan meticulously stuffing the colossal World Tree into the opening of the Qiankun Ancestor’s pot, she gasped. "Master, don't keep stuffing, Big Bro will explode!" "You’re the one who’s going to explode, so shut up!" the Qiankun Ancestor retorted angrily. The little girl in the black dress covered her mouth, giggling. "Master, keep stuffing, Big Bro will be fine."
