The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1823 - 1820: Difficult to Kill, Yet Killed

"The farce has concluded."

Zhuo Rou gazed at Ye Xuan with a composed demeanor, her words delivered at an unhurried pace.

The Six Yin Eight Extremes technique, a formidable art from the Southern Sea Immortal Island's Great Emperor Immortal Skill, spells doom for anyone. Ye Xuan, merely in the Great Sage Realm, would surely meet his demise, as would even a Heaven and Earth Great Sage or a True Destiny Great Sage.

Only those who have reached the Invincible Great Sage Realm can offer some resistance.

This is because...

The Six Yin Eight Extremes technique possesses the power to directly extinguish a person's true destiny!

When the true destiny perishes, so too does the divine soul.

To gain control over one's true destiny, progression to the True Destiny Great Sage stage is required.

However, Zhuo Rou's cultivation has already surpassed the True Destiny Great Sage level. Thus, her deployment of the Six Yin Eight Extremes technique guarantees the annihilation of anyone at or below the True Destiny Great Sage stage!

At this critical juncture, Ye Xuan appeared to be ensnared.

In reality, Ye Xuan's true destiny was locked, poised to be pulverized imminently.

Nevertheless, Zhuo Rou refrained from executing the subsequent move, content with victory and unwilling to inflict a killing blow on Ye Xuan.

Conversely, eliminating Ye Xuan would precipitate unnecessary complications, a scenario Zhuo Rou wished to avoid.

The assembled spectators, upon witnessing this turn of events, felt a collective sigh of relief.

"Zhuo Rou has secured the victory."

Old Demon Chu murmured, his eyes gleaming with calculation as he schemed to claim the Immortal Treasure from Ye Xuan once it was yielded to Zhuo Rou.

Such avaricious thoughts were not exclusive to Old Demon Chu.

Conversely, on the Emperor Immortal Sect's side, figures like Hong Ba and his companions wore expressions of profound concern.

Yet, Zhou Youwei, Tang Siyu, Tong Wuji, and the others remained entirely unperturbed.

This was because they possessed the crucial knowledge that the Ye Xuan currently displayed was not his true form.

Furthermore, had defeat truly materialized?

Within the confines of the Six Yin Eight Extremes' domain...

"A commendable technique, but do you grasp its origin?"

Ye Xuan observed Zhuo Rou with an unruffled gaze, his tone tinged with a subtle indifference.

Zhuo Rou's lips curved into a slight smirk, her eyes alight with mockery as she responded, "Ye Xuan, you make a jest. The Six Yin Eight Extremes is a celebrated masterpiece within the Southern Sea Immortal Technique, conceived by our revered Patriarch. Do you presume I am ignorant of this?"

Ye Xuan offered a gentle smile and inquired, "Did your Patriarch ever impart to you the limitation that this technique cannot be sustained indefinitely?"

As he uttered these words, Ye Xuan's form began to gradually dissipate.

Zhuo Rou's countenance abruptly darkened, shock registering in her eyes.

How could this be possible?

How had this individual managed to elude the Six Yin Eight Extremes?

Logically, once one's true destiny is ensnared, only the inevitability of death should follow.

No!

This wretch was not ensnared in his true destiny moments ago; otherwise, escape would have been an impossibility!

In a mere instant, Zhuo Rou discerned the underlying reason.

This scoundrel had been toying with her the entire time!

Damn him!

Concurrently, faint, unobtrusive dark patterns began to manifest across Ye Xuan's body, coalescing to form an ethereal black membrane.

This time, eschewing any extraneous power, Ye Xuan materialized silently in the void behind Zhuo Rou, harnessing the potent abilities of his Void Immortal Body. With a focused strike, he aimed a punch directly at her head.

Crushing the Elixir Field would prove futile, merely impeding the flow of one's mana temporarily. Only by shattering the Life Palace could Zhuo Rou be definitively slain.

Ye Xuan channeled the might of Origin Power into this devastating blow.

This particular power, akin to the inherent properties of Taoist Body Power, possesses a natural capacity to disintegrate an opponent's strength upon its activation.

"Hmm?"

Simultaneously, Zhuo Rou's heart suddenly jolted, an inexplicable premonition filling her with a profound sense of unease.

A mortal peril!

This realization sent a wave of horror through Zhuo Rou.

This adversary is truly too enigmatic; each of his assaults is exceptionally insidious, leaving her perpetually uncertain of his next point of emergence.

Zhuo Rou found herself compelled to maintain an extreme level of vigilance, her mana fully unleashed and the Power of World constantly enveloping her to erect an impregnable defense at any given moment.

Boom!

"Here!"

Zhuo Rou's eyes narrowed, and the Power of World swiftly coalesced into a formidable Divine Sword, which pierced through that swiftly moving figure.

"A feint!"

Zhuo Rou's expression shifted dramatically.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan had already unleashed a punch, appearing behind Zhuo Rou's position.

"Trouble!" Zhuo Rou's heart plummeted as her cultivation technique accelerated to its zenith, nearly distorting the very fabric of space-time.

Time itself appeared to decelerate in that precise moment.

Ye Xuan's punching velocity also experienced a noticeable hindrance.

With immense effort, Zhuo Rou managed to twist her body, and a radiant azure light erupted from her brow. Concealed within Zhuo Rou's Life Palace was an ultimate weapon, the True Destiny Device!

It manifested as an exquisite, bright blue hairpin.

"Die!"

Zhuo Rou's eyes sharpened, an undeniable killing intent radiating from them.

This Ye Xuan had subjected her to far too much vexation, igniting her murderous resolve.

At this critical juncture, she could no longer afford to be concerned with potential repercussions; her sole imperative was to eliminate this individual!

A brilliant blue hairpin sliced through the void, its target Ye Xuan’s fist, aiming to obliterate him completely.

"This fellow is truly remarkable, actually forcing Zhuo Rou to this extent..."

Liu Changqing, the head of the Liu Family from Hong State, stroked his long beard, his eyes narrowed.

It was evident that these ancient powerhouses were now all solemn, no longer harboring any disdain for Ye Xuan.

This young man, appearing as the strongest of the younger generation, displayed a strength not typically seen in someone so youthful.

Terrifyingly potent.

Challenging across cultivation realms.

This is the mark of a true genius.

Yet, someone like Ye Xuan, fighting across three great realms and still pushing an opponent this far, was truly terrifying!

Furthermore, from what they could ascertain, Ye Xuan potentially possessed other hidden capabilities yet to be revealed.

Boom!

As everyone was lost in thought, Ye Xuan’s fist had already made contact with Zhuo Rou’s True Destiny Device.

The ensuing burst of energy at that instant was immeasurably fearsome.

"What!?"

At that critical juncture, whether it was Old Demon Chu, Liu Changqing, or ancient experts like Shi Pojun, their pupils constricted violently, with some even crying out in shock.

Ye Xuan’s fist had ferociously shattered Zhuo Rou’s True Destiny Device.

Due to Zhuo Rou twisting that segment of time-space, the events unfolded in extreme slow motion, allowing everyone to witness every detail with perfect clarity.

Ye Xuan’s fist, akin to the hardest Immortal Gold imaginable, pulverized Zhuo Rou’s True Destiny Device upon the very first impact.

Zhuo Rou was on the verge of spitting out a mouthful of blood.

But Ye Xuan’s fist suddenly surged in speed, as if traversing the muck of time-space, smashing forcefully into Zhuo Rou’s brow.

With a resounding thud.

Zhuo Rou’s head exploded like a ripe watermelon.

Along with her Life Palace, which Ye Xuan had already shattered.

Her divine soul desperately attempted to flee, but Ye Xuan seized it within his grasp, crushing it to death with his Origin Power!

The spectacle sent shockwaves through everyone present.

"Ancestor..."

Zhao Xihai of Southern Sea Immortal Island stared at the scene, unable to comprehend it. Although he had disagreed with his ancestor’s course of action, he had still believed the ancestor would prevail in this battle.

However, the outcome was far beyond his expectations.

Zhuo Rou.

Dead!

The Southern Sea Fairy from a million years ago.

A Great Saint of her era!

Thus, she had fallen.

Dying so unremarkably, catching everyone completely by surprise.

Ye Xuan casually waved his hand, and fierce Divine Flames erupted in the void, incinerating Zhuo Rou’s corpse into nothingness.

"Next."

Ye Xuan stated calmly.
