The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1798 - 1795: War of the Aberrants

Speaking of the entirety of the Great Ruins, it was all under the dominion of that enigmatic entity, hurtling towards the location of the Demon Vine Ancestor Root within the Great Ruins.

Instantly.

The heavens shook and the earth split.

Innumerable Great Ruins Demon Vines were buried.

After a moment's stillness, cracks began to tear open the soil, from which Great Ruins Demon Vines swarmed out in a chaotic dance, eager to consume.

Boom!

The next instant, a dark hand emerged, seizing a vast amount of Great Ruins Demon Vines and yanking them from their roots.

Rumble————

The earth continued to rupture.

The hand grew, its three fingers like pillars reaching into the heavens.

Piercing shrieks then resounded once more; it was the Demon Vine Ancestor Root of the Great Ruins, enraged, unleashing waves of destruction.

Yet, the owner of that hand remained unfazed.

But soon, the area where the Demon Vine Ancestor Root resided erupted with boundless energy, obliterating that patch of earth entirely.

The Demon Vine Ancestor Root of the Great Ruins was revealed.

Black as ink, it resembled a colossal tree stump, its eyes burning scarlet like the Blood Sun.

Countless Great Ruins Demon Vines sprouted from that stump-like Ancestor Root, akin to dark Flood Dragons.

As the Demon Vine Ancestor Root manifested, the sky of the Great Ruins deepened in gloom.

Deep within the Great Ruins, the Dark Invasion had been relentless.

Before long, this place too would be engulfed in darkness, and all would fall silent.

Boom!

Following the Demon Vine Ancestor Root's appearance, it directed itself towards the hand's owner.

Limitless Great Ruins Demon Vines sliced through the air with shrill, soaring cries, their resonance spanning billions of miles.

Boom boom boom!

A multitude of Great Ruins Demon Vines, like Heavenly Dragons crashing down, slammed violently into the ground beside the hand, causing the earth there to collapse completely.

A terrifying chasm, three thousand feet deep, was instantly formed.

Yet the black hand stood tall like an immortal Heavenly Pillar, its three fingers clenching countless Great Ruins Demon Vines, pointing skyward!

Moments later, the black hand shifted.

With a swaying motion, the earth was once again torn open by immense fissures.

The hand retreated beneath the ground.

Subsequently, the fissures began to expand ceaselessly.

As if an abyss was being carved open.

Shortly after, a colossal, dark shadow slowly surfaced from the depths of the abyss.

Upon witnessing the emergence of the black shadow, the Demon Vine Ancestor Root of the Great Ruins grew even more incensed, its shrieks incessantly piercing the air.

The shattered Great Ruins Demon Vines all regenerated, instantly forming an unending sea of vines that enveloped the shadow.

Yet, this could not impede the shadow's ascent.

The shadow continuously rose, causing the area covered by the Great Ruins Demon Vines to arch upwards.

Like an ancient, colossal mountain, it exerted immeasurable pressure!

Suddenly, all the Great Ruins Demon Vines ceased their writhing.

Then, they violently exploded, transforming into a demonic mist.

Even the Ancestor Root's power could not immediately revive them.

Within the encompassing demonic mist, one could discern a silhouette resembling an iron tower.

Six streams of divine light burst forth sharply from the black mist.

Aiming directly at the Demon Vine Ancestor Root of the Great Ruins.

The Demon Vine Ancestor Root condensed its demonic vines into countless ferocious beasts, forming a Beast Tide that charged towards the six rays of divine light in the sky.

Rumble!

The two forces collided, unleashing earth-shattering booms.

But the confrontation was one-sided.

Those six rays of divine light were like a War God piercing through a thousand charging steeds, directly and brutally shattering the opponent's formations!

Unstoppable wherever they went!

Boom!

The six rays of divine light annihilated everything in their path, striking the Demon Vine Ancestor Root of the Great Ruins.

In an instant, boundless divine light flared, seemingly dispersing the very darkness of the Great Ruins.

The Demon Vine Ancestor Root of the Great Ruins became engulfed within this radiance.

This earth-shattering battle appeared to reach its conclusion here.

Yet, not long after the silence, furious shrieks again emanated from the Demon Vine Ancestor Root of the Great Ruins.

Soon after, infinite Great Ruins Demon Vines surged forth like torrents, instantly overwhelming the divine light, as if everything in all directions had transformed into Great Ruins Demon Vines, all rushing towards the massive silhouette.

Boom!

Meanwhile, the silhouette extended its right hand, its three fingers wielding a Black Shovel, crafted from an unknown material, exuding a chilling aura.

The Black Shovel, wielded by this mysterious creature, danced, fending off all the Great Ruins Demon Vines.

An unparalleled battle continued.

At this moment, Ye Xuan, utilizing the main body of Qian Kun Ancestor, was gradually integrating the World Tree within.

In the final moments, Ye Xuan found his direct intervention unnecessary as Qian Kun Ancestor was fully capable of concluding the matter. Qian Kun Ancestor provided assurance to Ye Xuan that the task would be accomplished, granting Ye Xuan permission to rest. Without further ado, Ye Xuan entrusted the God-beating Stone with the supervision of Qian Kun Ancestor and departed solo from the Blood Sea. He ventured out to bear witness to the sky-shattering battle unfolding. From a distance, observing the monumental clash between these two supreme, monstrous entities of the Great Ruins, Ye Xuan experienced a wave of nostalgia. That particular adversary had been absent for a considerable duration. He recalled a past engagement, even more arduous than confronting the Demon Vine Ancestor Root of the Great Ruins. The presence of the Yin Ming Shovel particularly brought to mind the Corpse Carrier among the Four Yin Professions. Many Corpse Carriers possessed the ability to excavate graves and were often seen carrying shovels. However, this entity was no mere Corpse Carrier; it was a genuine, formidable creature, perpetually hidden within the Great Ruins, much like the Demon Vine Ancestor Root, standing as one of the most terrifying anomalies found there. This being consistently wore a voluminous black hemp robe, its hood drawn to obscure its head. Its towering physique rivaled that of the Giant Spirit Clan. It lacked both a mouth and a nose, yet possessed six eyes. Only a single hand remained, distinctively bearing three fingers. Initially, Ye Xuan had surmised this being had its arm severed by an assailant, with the remaining limb having lost two digits. Yet, during their confrontation, Ye Xuan discerned that it was naturally constituted with only three fingers – a creature Ye Xuan had never before encountered. Nevertheless, Ye Xuan was convinced it did not originate from the Dou Tian Divine Domain, as it exhibited not even a trace of Origin Power. For an extended period, it had slumbered beneath the earth, and even when it stirred, only its right arm moved; its true self had never fully awakened. Under Ye Xuan’s directive, Qian Kun Ancestor lured the arm towards the Demon Vine Ancestor Root, inciting its wrath and, consequently, rousing this dormant creature. Thus, this colossal battle ignited. The outcome of this conflict remained uncertain, as the combatants were evenly matched in power. Furthermore, both drew upon the inexhaustible Forbidden Power of the Great Ruins. After observing for a period, Ye Xuan ascended into the heavens, fractured the void, and emerged outside the Great Ruins. The ongoing struggle between the Emperor Corpse and Tushan Yi persisted. Tushan Yi, the ancient fox king of Qingqiu, had lived for millennia and had encountered Ye Xuan thirty million years prior. Its might was on par with that of a True Dragon! It inherited the Fox Immortal Bloodline, standing as the sole Fox Clan member, aside from Xiao Jiu beneath the Returnless Bridge, possessing an unadulterated Fox Immortal Bloodline. However, within the Great Ruins, Tushan Yi became the target of the Great Ruins' Demon Vine Ancestor Root. It was now under the Ancestor Root's manipulation. The Emperor Corpse’s inherent strength was initially insufficient to contend with Tushan Yi. However, Ye Xuan had previously employed the World Power derived from the World Tree's roots to continuously refine and fully unleash its potential. Now, a fierce duel raged against Tushan Yi. Ultimately, however, neither combatant possessed true self-awareness.
