The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1830 - 1827: Zero Domain
Previously on The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor...
"Hong Ba, if anything goes wrong later, you’ll have to take responsibility!"
Chu Old Demon shouted loudly.
Hong Ba, who was witnessing the battle with bated breath, heard Chu Old Demon’s words but displayed no alteration in his expression and offered no reply.
Should Ye Xuan encounter any peril, he would undoubtedly intervene today.
The individuals present were seeking trouble, leaving no room for peaceful resolution.
The current discourse was merely customary pleasantries.
In his heart, Hong Ba was fully aware that Chu Old Demon yearned to obliterate Ye Xuan with a single strike.
After all, Ye Xuan’s exceptional potential was undeniable; should he emerge unscathed today, the day he ascends to Emperor status would herald the downfall of Chu Old Demon and the Blood Demon Sky Sect.
Chu Old Demon was simply vocalizing to create a pretext for eliminating Ye Xuan.
"Senior brother!"
However, the disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect were filled with profound apprehension.
Even with Hong Ba’s protective shield, they were still overwhelmed by the terrifying aura emanating from the battle.
Without such protection, they would have already been reduced to mere dust.
The magnitude of this conflict far surpassed their capacity to observe.
Nevertheless, Ye Xuan’s apparent nonchalance filled them with immense worry.
Facing a multitude of world-class formidable experts, their senior brother remained unperturbed and made no move to evade, an act that seemed perilously close to suicidal.
Regardless of their faith in Ye Xuan, a sense of unease washed over them at this juncture.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye.
As Chu Old Demon, Shi Pojun, Wuxiangzi, and the other top-tier cultivators unleashed their peerless divine skills, the ancient battlefield transformed into a scene resembling an apocalypse.
And Ye Xuan, positioned at the very epicenter, was the first to endure the onslaught.
The sheer force surged like relentless waves crashing against the shore, each one more powerful than the last!
Ye Xuan stood firm upon the battlefield, his robes billowing in the wind.
Boom!
In the ensuing moment, Shi Pojun’s devastating strike, capable of supporting the heavens, descended.
The colossal palm, which seemed to encompass the entirety of the ancient battlefield, did not immediately fall but instead hovered ominously in mid-air. However, its terrifying power had already been concentrated into a singular point, reminiscent of a world-ending tribulation, before it suddenly plummeted towards Ye Xuan from the void!
Instantly, the very fabric of space-time appeared to be annihilated.
Ye Xuan’s figure completely vanished from sight.
Concurrently, the coordinated assaults from Chu Old Demon and the others followed suit, affording Ye Xuan no opportunity to recover.
Previously, they had been wary of Ye Xuan’s astonishing body-refining techniques; now that Ye Xuan stood passively, allowing them to unleash their fury, they naturally seized this exceptional chance.
Forty-three unparalleled powerhouses were masters of timing their devastating attacks.
Despite this being their inaugural coordinated assault, their movements were synchronized with seamless perfection.
Ye Xuan was submerged within the boundless torrent of divine skills.
The very void in that location was directly obliterated.
Not a trace of Ye Xuan could be discerned.
Yet, the forty-three formidable experts continued their relentless assault, expending all their divine skills before finally ceasing.
"Senior…"
Even Hong Ba’s eyelids twitched involuntarily at the spectacle that unfolded.
Such an intense wave of attacks, even if he were present, would have at the very least inflicted severe injuries, with a significant likelihood of a fatal outcome.
However, he placed his trust in Ye Xuan; the fact that Ye Xuan had acted in such a manner proved his capability and certainty of withstanding the assault!
As the residual energies of the divine skills gradually dissipated, the atmosphere remained thick with a palpable sense of destruction.
Ye Xuan’s presence had seemingly vanished into nothingness.
Chu Old Demon and the other combatants stood with steadying breaths, patiently awaiting the final verdict.
In truth, they considered it beyond impossible for Ye Xuan to have survived such an onslaught.
This conviction stemmed from their continuous probing of the battlefield with their divine senses throughout the relentless barrage.
Upon Shi Pojun’s initial strike, they had detected Ye Xuan’s aura drastically weakening.
By the time Chu Old Demon launched his subsequent attack, Ye Xuan’s aura had completely ceased to be perceptible to any of them.
This observation irrefutably indicated Ye Xuan’s demise.
The remaining attackers did not halt their efforts, acting out of caution against any unforeseen eventualities.
After all, Ye Xuan had previously employed extraordinary methods to evade Zhuo Rou’s Six Yin Eight Extremes technique.
Rumble————
The reverberations continued to echo across the vast battlefield.
Ye Xuan’s figure was nowhere to be found.
Witnessing this outcome, a subtle smile graced Chu Old Demon’s lips.
A prodigy is indeed a prodigy.
Yet, numerous prodigies share a common failing: arrogance.
In his assessment, Ye Xuan epitomized such arrogance, choosing to face the combined might of all their attacks head-on, as if they were mere mortals.
Who among them had not been a prodigious talent in their youth?
Therefore, every individual present understood the psychological journey associated with that particular stage of cultivation.
"It is concluded,"
Chu Old Demon declared with calm finality.
The other elite cultivators descended one by one, their attention no longer fixed on Ye Xuan’s presumed location in the void, but rather shifting towards Hong Ba.
"Fellow Daoist, you may now relinquish the Immortal Treasure."
Wuxiangzi spoke with an even tone.
As per Ye Xuan’s prior stipulation, should he be defeated, the Immortal Treasure was to be surrendered.
The outcome of the battle was now unequivocally clear.
Hong Ba’s expression was filled with uncertainty; he refused to believe Ye Xuan was truly dead.
He understood that Ye Xuan was no ordinary individual but a reincarnated ancient being.
Whatever Ye Xuan had done moments before must have had a profound reason behind it.
Hong Ba remained silent, not offering any response to the others who questioned him.
A palpable heaviness settled over the surrounding atmosphere.
On the Emperor Immortal Sect’s side, a great many core disciples appeared visibly pale, their gazes fixed blankly upon the area where Ye Xuan had vanished.
"Senior Brother, you will not be in any trouble."
Zhu Xiaofei, the noticeably plump disciple, had eyes that were reddened with emotion.
Among the younger generation nurtured by the Emperor Immortal Sect, Zhu Xiaofei, Tan Qingshan, and several others harbored the deepest affection for Ye Xuan. Witnessing his disappearance now stirred immense sorrow within their hearts; the thought of Ye Xuan perishing was simply too much to bear.
"Daoist friend, are you perhaps reneging on your promise?"
Noticing Hong Ba's lack of movement, Chu Old Demon inquired with a sinister tone.
The moment he spoke, Chu Old Demon found himself suddenly astonished.
It wasn't just Chu Old Demon; numerous others were equally shocked, turning their attention back to the spot where Ye Xuan had been.
To their utter disbelief, the void that had been previously obliterated miraculously restored itself to its original state. Simultaneously, Ye Xuan reappeared, standing calmly with his hands tucked into his pockets, and unhurriedly declared:
"To uphold the promise, you must first overcome me."
Chu Old Demon and the surrounding individuals were struck with horror.
This man, he was actually completely unharmed?!
A resounding wave of cheers erupted from the Emperor Immortal Sect's contingent.
"What in the world is happening?"
The powerhouses from across the Nine States were now utterly bewildered.
Ye Xuan maintained an aura of perfect serenity, and even the astonishing ferocity previously unleashed by the Chaos Ghost Fang appeared to have completely vanished.
In that crucial instant, by employing the Void Immortal Body in conjunction with the formidable power of the Tree God and the Chaos Ghost Fang, Ye Xuan had indeed managed to withstand the assault.
And he had emerged entirely unscathed.
Following the activation of these three distinct powers, all the potent attacks directed towards Ye Xuan were effectively redirected to the very end of the void, ensuring Ye Xuan's complete safety.
This was a remarkable body technique exclusively achievable through the mastery of the Void Immortal Body — the legendary Zero Domain!
This extreme exertion had propelled Ye Xuan's Void Immortal Body to the very precipice of the Great Success stage.
However, much like the Taoist Body, his immortal body seemed to be impeded by an invisible, insurmountable barrier, preventing it from reaching that final, crucial step, much to Ye Xuan's chagrin.
But nonetheless...
The current battle, he felt, ought to conclude precisely here.
"Gentlemen, do any of you still wish to continue?"
Ye Xuan's gaze calmly swept across Chu Old Demon, Shi Pojun, Wuxiangzi, and the others, posing the question with unhurried composure.
