The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1828 - 1825: The Power of the Immortal Body

Zhuo Rou’s demise was clear to Liu Yun Old Monk’s eyes. He naturally attributed it to Zhuo Rou’s underestimation of his foe, his inadequate physique, and then Ye Xuan’s swift close-quarters assault, which plunged him into a disadvantageous position, leading to his ultimate defeat and death.

However, Liu Yun Old Monk considered himself different. As a Buddhist Arhat, his six-foot Golden Body had reached its zenith, rendering his flesh virtually indestructible. Even should his Divine Soul perish after countless millennia, his physical form would remain uncorrupted.

Faced with such a defense, even a Sacred Body at the Great Success stage would find close combat utterly futile. Yet, Ye Xuan’s single punch had, against all odds, shattered his six-foot Golden Body and ravaged his internal organs.

Had it not been for the swift intervention of Chu Old Demon and the others, Liu Yun Old Monk feared he would have been annihilated on the spot.

Ye Xuan’s demonstrated power had now completely eclipsed the strength he exhibited in his bout with Zhuo Rou.

This level of might was utterly impossible for someone in the Great Sage Realm!

In that critical moment, a myriad of thoughts raced through Liu Yun Old Monk’s mind.

Concurrently, the Buddhist anomaly manifesting from Liu Yun Old Monk’s presence began to unravel.

"Hmph?"

Liu Yun Old Monk’s eyes snapped open in indignation.

Ye Xuan, astonishingly, was enduring the onslaught from others and pressing his attack, intent on finishing him off!

Forcing a breath, Liu Yun Old Monk hefted his Demon Suppressing Zen Staff.

Bang!

The Demon Suppressing Zen Staff whipped out instantly, aiming to cleave Ye Xuan in twain at the waist.

Ye Xuan, however, with effortless grace, seized the other end of the staff, spun it, and brought it crashing down upon Liu Yun Old Monk’s head.

Another resounding clang echoed.

Immediately thereafter, Ye Xuan drove a fist directly into Liu Yun Old Monk’s brow.

Crack, crack, crack————

The golden luminescence on Liu Yun Old Monk’s head fractured, collapsing piece by piece. His eyes rolled back, and he crumpled onto the ancient battlefield, his body rebounding with a lifeless resilience, his fate hanging precariously in the balance.

"Senior Brother!"

This shocking spectacle galvanized another old monk from Gushan Temple, who had remained a spectator to the ongoing battle.

Witnessing his senior brother battered into a state of uncertain survival spurred a surge of grief, compelling him to step forward and extricate Liu Yun Old Monk from the fray.

Having dealt with Liu Yun Old Monk, Ye Xuan’s attention shifted to the nearest Supreme Great Sage.

This formidable individual hailed from Hua Tian Prefecture and was none other than the infamous Blood Slaughter True Person, a cold-eyed elder clad in blood-red robes, exuding a perpetual aura of lethal intent. He was not the Fan Hai True Person.

His notorious reputation preceded him throughout the Xuanhuang Great World.

Legend held that, years prior, on a certain continent within the Xuanhuang Great World, he had utilized a forbidden blood sacrifice ritual, slaughtering every living soul on that continent to achieve the Heaven and Earth Great Sage Realm.

This heinous act had provoked a joint hunt by several Great Emperor Immortal Sects, as the continent in question fell under their dominion.

Disciples from these very sects resided on that very continent.

Blood Slaughter True Person’s act of atrocity had understandably ignited their fury, prompting them to dispatch forces in pursuit.

His ambition to ascend to the Heaven and Earth Great Sage realm was thwarted by this relentless hunt, driving Blood Slaughter True Person to desperation. He was forced to choose the Supreme Great Sage path, becoming a Heavenly Sage merely to evade his pursuers and retreat to Hua Tian Prefecture.

Under the protection of Hua Tian Prefecture, he narrowly escaped oblivion.

However, those Great Emperor Immortal Sects refused to let the matter rest. They confronted Hua Tian Prefecture, demanding an explanation, which culminated in Hua Tian Prefecture devising a subterfuge—the Golden Cicada Shells stratagem—to execute a decoy Blood Slaughter True Person, thereby appeasing the pursuing sects.

Recently, Blood Slaughter True Person had made a return to the Cultivation World.

This resurgence reawakened the ancient animosity; it was rumored that the Great Emperor Immortal Sects were poised to confront Hua Tian Prefecture over the unresolved issue.

In response, Hua Tian Prefecture had deployed Blood Slaughter True Person, a move signifying a gamble of immense stakes. They risked the wrath of those sects by enabling him to act and assist Hua Tian Prefecture in their bid to seize the Immortal Treasure.

Few could have foreseen that during his period of seclusion, Blood Slaughter True Person had quietly ascended to the Supreme Great Sage realm.

Indeed, Blood Slaughter True Person possessed exceptional innate talent. His aspirations extended beyond merely reaching the Supreme Great Sage realm; he aimed for the pinnacle of a Great Saint, or even a Quasi-Emperor.

Yet, that calamitous event had irrevocably steered him towards the path of the Supreme Great Sage.

With his course now set, Blood Slaughter True Person did not succumb to despair. Instead, he dedicated himself to mastering this path with unwavering resolve.

In his own words, if destiny permitted him only to reach the Supreme Great Sage, he vowed to become the most formidable among them!

Upon sensing Ye Xuan’s intent to target him, Blood Slaughter True Person reacted without hesitation, swiftly withdrawing from his position.

He had already borne witness to Ye Xuan’s terrifying prowess in close-quarters combat. Once ensnared in such a confrontation, he would inevitably be forced into a disadvantageous position.

Although Fan Hai True Person was present to provide senior suppression, their adversary wasn't solely Ye Xuan; they needed to remain vigilant against opportunistic strikes from others.

Much like Liu Yun Old Monk, who, believing himself invincible due to his formidable six-foot Golden Body, chose to stand his ground against Ye Xuan. Not only did he fail to secure a victory, but he also suffered blows from other assailants. Had Ye Xuan's punch not shattered the monk, the subsequent attacks might well have been enough to finish him.

"This fellow is peculiar; our attacks seem ineffective!"

Concurrently, Fan Hai True Person, Chu Old Demon, Shi Pojun, and others recognized the anomaly in Ye Xuan's condition.

Ye Xuan appeared to weather all their assaults, yet this was not entirely the case.

If he were genuinely enduring them, Ye Xuan, despite his resilience, would surely show signs of being overwhelmed, his aura disrupted.

However, throughout the ordeal, Ye Xuan remained perfectly composed, his aura steady and enduring, showing absolutely no indication of being under attack.

"Could it be that he is simultaneously redirecting our attacks?"

Chu Old Demon mused silently.

But could Ye Xuan truly accomplish such a feat?

It must be noted that each of their strikes possessed immense power, capable of inverting the very fabric of existence. Even if redirection were possible, it would not be so seamless, and the attacks would still appear to land upon Ye Xuan.

"Could this be the power derived from the Spirit of the Void God Realm?"

They found themselves bewildered.

At this juncture, it was the sole plausible explanation.

After all, no other reasons seemed to hold any logical weight.

In actuality, their deductions were only partially correct.

Ye Xuan did indeed harness the capabilities of the Tree God and Chaos Ghost Fang, but that constituted only a portion of the explanation.

Another critical factor was Ye Xuan's complete activation of the Void Immortal Body.

Every attack that seemed to strike Ye Xuan actually passed through him, vanishing into some other unknown void.

This was the astonishing power of the Void Immortal Body.

It rendered him virtually untouchable.

Why, for instance, had Zhuo Rou's Six Yin Eight Extremes technique failed to affect Ye Xuan?

It was because Ye Xuan had activated the Void Immortal Body at that time, combined with Zhuo Rou's incessant chatter.

Certainly, in a one-on-one confrontation, Ye Xuan activating the Immortal Body to such a degree presented little difficulty.

However, facing numerous powerful entities simultaneously, Ye Xuan achieving this level of control was exceedingly challenging.

This was due to the fact that each of their powerful strikes possessed the ability to shatter the void.

Any lapse in concentration could result in those potent forces still impacting Ye Xuan.

Consequently, the assistance of the Tree God and Chaos Ghost Fang was indispensable, allowing Ye Xuan to operate the Immortal Body's power flawlessly.

This truly showcased the formidable might of the Spirit of the Void God Realm!
