The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1821 - 1818: An Invincible Momentum
Previously on The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor...
Kong Liang, a composed young man, hails from the Kong Family located in Central Earth.
Xun Ji, identifiable by his book box and narrowed eyes, originates from the Xun Family, also in Central Earth.
The sole female present, appearing no older than twelve or thirteen, is Meng Chan, a member of the Meng Family from East Desolate.
Kong Liang, Xun Ji, and Meng Chan.
These three are recognized as rising prodigies from the three prominent Confucian houses.
Despite being separated from Zhongxuan Mountain by vast distances, they remain keenly observant.
It is essential to monitor the world's unfolding currents.
And currently, all three perceive a singular, overarching trend.
This trend is none other than the seemingly invincible aura emanating from Ye Xuan.
His momentum has become utterly unstoppable.
This is the case even before any battle has commenced.
Nevertheless, all three individuals seem to foresee the indomitable Ye Xuan clearing all obstacles on the Emperor Road!
Concurrently, a multitude of other significant figures are focusing their attention on this impending clash.
Among them are Ye Qingyue, the Holy Daughter of the Red Sparrow Institute; Mo Qinglian of the Mo family; Xu Zhonglou representing the Sword Tomb; Ye Hao from the Eternal Mountain Ye Family; Ye Yuxuan; Ye Lingzhu; Ye Lingyi; Zhu Xiuxiu of Southern Saber Mountain; Luo Xiu from Sun Swallowing Sect; Gu Ya of the Immortal King Hall; Pei Yanchao and Li Chong from Dragon Burying Court; Gu Qinghuan from Xiling; Song Qilin of Li Mountain Sword Pavilion; Huang Yue from World Mountain; the Reserve Emperor of Zongheng Sect; Yao Yueqing from Shaking Light Ancient Sect; and Ziwei Saint from Ziwei Sacred Land, among numerous others.
This list merely represents a fraction of the notable young talents within Daozhou.
Countless other uniquely formidable young cultivators from the remaining Eight States are also secretly observing these events unfold.
It can be asserted that this seemingly commonplace battle has captured the attention of the entirety of the Xuanhuang Great World.
Even some reclusive, long-lived families are discreetly watching the proceedings.
Regardless of the final outcome, this confrontation is guaranteed to leave a significant impression on the entire Xuanhuang Great World.
And at this precise moment.
Within the ancient battlefield, Ye Xuan's declaration had just concluded.
Zhuo Rou responded with a laugh, stating, "Ye Xuan, my young friend, you certainly possess great confidence. Since that is your conviction, I shall indulge your desire, sister."
"Shameless."
Tang Siyu, positioned at the periphery of the combat zone, heard Zhuo Rou's words and let out a soft scoff, remarking, "Look at your own comportment. If Little Qiankun were present, he would surely beat you to death."
Zhou Youwei, upon hearing Tang Siyu's remark, offered a gentle smile and commented, "Siyu must have been by my husband's side for quite some time now."
Tang Siyu affirmed with a nod, then clarified, "Please do not misunderstand; I am merely the master's maid."
Zhou Youwei replied softly, "I understand."
A sense of unease began to creep into Tang Siyu.
For reasons she could not quite articulate, Zhou Youwei seemed markedly different from when they had first encountered each other.
This impression was peculiar, as if Zhou Youwei had suddenly become inscrutable, her depths unplumbable even to Tang Siyu, a reincarnator herself.
However, upon further contemplation, it seemed logical; as the master's wife, it would be improbable for her to be an ordinary individual.
"Regain your strength swiftly. He requires your assistance."
Zhou Youwei uttered words that deeply unsettled Tang Siyu.
Tang Siyu whispered in inquiry, "Did the master convey this to you?"
Zhou Youwei gently shook her head in response.
"You are..."
Tang Siyu's expression gradually adopted a more serious mien.
Zhou Youwei softly stated, "You may not recognize me, but strive your utmost to aid him."
Tang Siyu nodded, replying, "That is a given."
Zhou Youwei offered no further words, and Tang Siyu refrained from posing additional questions.
This was because, at that very moment, a significant shift occurred on the battlefield.
Ye Xuan, having heard Zhuo Rou's provocative jest, ceased speaking, his hands naturally descending from their usual resting place in his pockets.
In the ensuing instant.
Ye Xuan vanished as if dissolving into thin air.
Subsequently, the entire expanse of the ancient battlefield became populated with myriad figures of Ye Xuan, all simultaneously unleashing a punch towards Zhuo Rou!
"Oh?"
This particular offensive immediately left the seasoned observers in a state of uncertainty.
Those in attendance were all preeminent cultivators within the Xuanhuang Great World, possessing exceptionally sharp senses.
Yet, Ye Xuan's maneuver left them bewildered, unable to discern any discernible imperfection.
It gave the distinct impression that these countless Ye Xuan replicas were all genuinely substantial!
This phenomenon was most peculiar.
"Intriguing."
Zhuo Rou extended her right hand behind her, delicately lifting her index finger to gently tap the void, causing profound mana to surge forth like an unleashed spring.
Instantly, ethereal ripples propagated throughout the fabric of space.
Shortly thereafter, these ripples began to manifest at every location occupied by a Ye Xuan.
An untold number of Ye Xuan apparitions dissolved into the rippling distortions.
"Found you."
Zhuo Rou's eyes curved into a smile, her gaze decisively focusing on one distinct Ye Xuan among the multitude.
This particular Ye Xuan possessed an aura that set him apart, appearing to survey all with detached calm, unaffected by the surrounding chaos.
Whoosh!
In the subsequent moment, an immense surge of world power erupted from Zhuo Rou's vicinity, coalescing into a colossal mountain that materialized in the void, descending with crushing force towards Ye Xuan.
This potent world power possessed the capability to instantaneously transmute all elements within existence for the purpose of an assault.
This is the key distinction that sets the Great Sage Realm apart from all others.
It possesses the terrifying capability to conjure an entire world out of thin air, solely to crush an enemy!
But at this precise moment, Zhuo Rou was merely probing the limits of her opponent.
The reason for this was that Zhuo Rou's own cultivation had surpassed the Great Sage Realm, reaching the pinnacle of the Great Saint Realm… though this fact was concealed.
Nevertheless, due to the pervasive influence of Heavenly Dao Suppression, Zhuo Rou was constrained to wielding only the might of an invincible Great Sage.
Boom!
The instant the colossal mountain descended upon Ye Xuan.
Crack ————
Ye Xuan dissipated into nothingness, vanishing like a mere illusion.
Simultaneously, from the void directly behind Zhuo Rou, a pair of unseen hands materialized, entwining around her waist and attempting to drag her into a different dimension.
Zhuo Rou gently lowered her right hand, placing it upon one of the grasping hands and with a soft smile, remarked, "Playing dirty, are we?"
Boom!
However, Zhuo Rou’s smile faltered for a fleeting moment.
What she felt wasn't a hand, but rather an abyss, drawing her inexorably inward!
Startled, Zhuo Rou swiftly unleashed waves of potent world power, striving to break free from the encroaching force.
Boom!
At that very instant, a fist materialized silently before Zhuo Rou’s abdomen.
Before anyone could even register the event, the true Ye Xuan had already closed the distance.
Zhuo Rou stared at Ye Xuan in utter astonishment, her mind momentarily blank.
Which one is the genuine Ye Xuan?
"If you cannot discern the truth, then perhaps a more direct approach is necessary."
Zhuo Rou adopted a calm expression, her world power receding as she appeared ready to face the incoming punch directly.
"If it is a mere imitation, it shall naturally lack significant power; should it be the true body, I shall subdue it instantly."
This was the prevailing thought within Zhuo Rou's mind: "Ah————"
As this very thought took shape, Zhuo Rou was suddenly slammed by an overwhelming force that struck her abdomen, sending her hurtling uncontrollably through the air.
In that critical instant, Zhuo Rou experienced an agonizing sensation, as if her very core had been brutally impaled!
"How is this even possible?!"
The disbelief etched on Zhuo Rou's face was palpable. The speed Ye Xuan displayed in that moment had entirely surpassed her capacity to react, and the sheer force was far beyond any conceivable limit, posing a threat even to her formidable physique!
This was utterly terrifying!
This power did not align with what any Great Sage should possess; even the most powerful Reserve Emperor of Xuanhuang would not wield such might—this was simply too much!
One must remember, she herself possessed a genuine Great Saint physique!
These profound realizations flashed through her consciousness in a mere heartbeat.
Shoo!
As Zhuo Rou was propelled away, Ye Xuan's figure remained glued to her, his voice a soft whisper near her ear, "Farewell."
Slice ————
Zhuo Rou's vital elixir field fractured, and Ye Xuan's hand ruthlessly tore her body in two.
A gruesome spray of blood marked the horrific conclusion.
The entire vicinity stood frozen in stunned silence.
