The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1839 - 1836: The Might of Lie Tian Emperor

That single strike sent shockwaves throughout the entirety of the Xuanhuang Great World's powerful figures.

While many acknowledged a significant disparity in prestige between the Red Sun Great Emperor and Lie Tian Emperor, the chasm that manifested was simply immense.

Both individuals wielded Great Emperor Immortal Weapons, and both exerted seventy percent of their might, yet the resultant outcome defied all expectations.

Not only the observers but even the members of the Emperor Immortal Sect found themselves astonished in that moment.

Their astonishment quickly morphed into fervent excitement.

This, was the revered founder of their Emperor Immortal Sect!

The preeminent Heavenly Emperor who brought an end to the Emperor Era and concluded the Emperor Battle!

"Could this senior truly be the reincarnation of our founder?"

Hong Ba gazed in stunned silence at Ye Xuan brandishing the War God Banner, a profound shock gripping him.

Yet, Ye Xuan had explicitly informed him earlier that he was not the founder!

Could it be that he had intentionally misled him?

Hong Ba remained unaware that Ye Xuan was not Lie Tian Emperor, but rather Lie Tian Emperor's own master!

Had Hong Ba grasped this truth, his astonishment would have been even more profound.

Ye Xuan continued to wield the War God Banner with movements that were both powerful and commanding.

The scrutinizing gaze of Lie Tian Emperor, which shattered the Saber Gang of the Red Sun Emperor's Red Sun Emperor Saber, descended directly upon Hong State!

Two piercing beams of sight sliced through the very fabric of the air.

Wherever their gaze passed, countless cultivators looked upward, their hearts seized by a primal terror.

It was as if the heavens themselves had been ripped asunder, revealing two gaping wounds!

"What is this!?"

Within the Red Sun River's Liu Family, both the seasoned family elders and the younger generation observing the confrontation were utterly aghast at the unfolding spectacle.

They had never conceived that such a potent display, unleashed with a Great Emperor Immortal Weapon and seventy percent of their power, could be so effortlessly annihilated!

However, this was not the opportune moment for stunned disbelief.

The myriad family elders compelled themselves to refocus, diligently channeling their mana into the artifact.

Boom!

Fueled by their collective mana, the Red Sun Great Emperor was compelled to swing the Red Sun Emperor Saber once more.

A single, decisive slash.

An attack more formidable than any before, intended to cleave through those two relentless beams of sight!

The entirety of the Hong State territory was bathed in an ethereal Mysterious Light!

Another strike that shook the very foundations of the world.

True great sound is beyond hearing; true form is without shape.

That particular strike did not alter the landscape of Hong State, nor did it emit any audible sound.

Yet, every living being within the land of Hong State experienced a profound silence, as if all hearing had been rendered utterly null.

Swoosh!

Nevertheless, the outcome proved agonizingly unbearable for the Red Sun River Liu Family once again.

That piercing gaze, utterly unstoppable, tore through the Saber Gang yet again, relentlessly continuing its advance!

Nothing could impede its relentless progression!

"It is over!"

At that critical juncture, the hearts of every single family elder plunged into the abyss of despair.

The sheer power emanating from their adversary was entirely beyond their comprehension.

Confronted by such overwhelming might, they were utterly incapable of mounting any effective defense!

Yet, even amidst the crushing despair, this was not the moment to capitulate; those two piercing beams of sight offered no opportunity for retreat!

Only one course of action remained: to persist in the desperate struggle!

This time, the family elders abandoned all restraint, unleashing their strength without reservation!

A torrent of immense power surged forth once more.

The Emperor's Shadow of the Red Sun Great Emperor heaved its third saber strike!

Even so, this third saber was hastily conjured with the sole purpose of repelling Lie Tian Emperor's two beams of sight, rendering it demonstrably inferior to the preceding two saber strikes.

Boom!

Indeed.

In this relentless clash, the defeat was even more crushing!

Nonetheless, this final desperate effort did manage to significantly diminish the potency of the two beams, a grim consolation to be sure.

Hmm...

In truth, the Liu Family members were already submerged in utter hopelessness.

Those two beams of sight breached the air, arriving in an instant. Boom!

The Emperor's Shadow of the Red Sun Great Emperor was directly impaled with two colossal ruptures.

Concurrently, the brilliance of the Emperor's Shadow waned drastically.

"Puff—"

Seated in meditation within the Liu Family's grandest dojo, countless elders simultaneously coughed up a mouthful of vital blood, grievously wounded!

As the numerous elders could no longer sustain their connection to the Red Sun Emperor Saber, it slipped from the grasp of the Red Sun Great Emperor, plummeting back towards the Red Sun River, its radiance gradually fading.

Simultaneously, the Emperor's Shadow of the Red Sun Great Emperor also began to slowly dissipate at that precise moment.

"Defeated..."

Within the Liu Family compound, the current family head and all the elders turned deathly pale, engulfed by an overwhelming sense of despair.

Liu Yuanchen, a peerless prodigy among the Liu Family's younger generation, experienced a despair mirroring that of Hua Ming at this exact moment.

He could only stand by, a helpless spectator to these unfolding events, utterly incapable of altering their course.

This profound sense of powerlessness struck a heavy blow to Liu Yuanchen, who stood on the precipice of embarking upon the Emperor Road.

Should he fail to surmount this overwhelming shadow, his aspiration to ascend as a Great Emperor would likely be extinguished here and now.

Compared to the plight of Hua Tian Prefecture, the Red Sun River Liu Family was, in a sense, more fortunate, as their family was spared utter destruction. They merely suffered a loss of face and sustained injuries among their elders, yet this defeat inflicted a more profound wound than Hua Tian Prefecture’s predicament. This psychological scar proved exceptionally difficult to mend, particularly for the younger generation of the Liu Family, leaving an indelible shadow that would require significant time to overcome.

They struggled to accept that as a Longevity Family, boasting an ancestor as formidable as the Red Sun Great Emperor, their endeavor to reclaim honor using the Great Emperor Immortal Treasure had ironically resulted in such profound disgrace. Moreover, the entirety of the Xuanhuang Great World bore witness to this spectacle. It was undeniable that the Red Sun River Liu Family had inadvertently become a stepping stone for the Emperor Immortal Sect. Although the Liu Family’s heritage predated the Emperor Immortal Sect’s, such historical precedence now held little significance. What mattered was the repeated humiliation the Red Sun River Liu Family endured that day.

Initially, Liu Changqing had led his forces to Zhongxuan Mountain, only for them to be annihilated by Ye Xuan on the Ancient Battlefield. While this was a severe blow, it was not entirely unprecedented, as many other factions met a similar fate. However, the subsequent event proved far more devastating.

Had it been an isolated incident, it might not have carried such weight. Yet, the Red Sun River Liu Family retaliated decisively, deploying a Great Emperor Immortal Weapon. In a shocking turn of events, Ye Xuan countered with his War God Banner, imbued with the might of the Lie Tian Emperor. This clash not only repelled the Red Sun Emperor Saber, a relic of the Red Sun Great Emperor, but sent it fleeing back to the Red Sun River, a humiliation of immense proportions for the Liu Family.

"We have won!" Hong Ba exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with elation as he let out a low growl.

"We have won!" Zhou Zihuang and the others echoed, their hearts swelling with excitement.

"We won?! Hahaha, our Emperor Immortal Sect has triumphed!" The remaining disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect, initially unaware of the battle's outcome, erupted in unbridled joy upon hearing Hong Ba’s triumphant declaration. The entire Emperor Immortal Sect was enveloped in an atmosphere of overwhelming elation.

"Senior..." Hong Ba looked towards Ye Xuan, only to notice his gaze showing no sign of abating. This observation startled him for a moment, and he quickly realized Ye Xuan’s intention: to relentlessly crush the Red Sun River Liu Family, driving them to the brink of utter despair. Hong Ba wholeheartedly approved of this course of action.

The recent fate of Hua Tian Prefecture was a stark warning to all, yet the Red Sun River Liu Family had obstinately chosen to provoke them. Having initiated the conflict, they should have been prepared for the consequences of utter suppression. At this crucial moment, Ye Xuan harbored no intention of showing leniency towards the Liu Family, resolved to impart further lessons.

The War God Banner swirled in his grasp. Instantly, the Emperor’s Shadow of the Lie Tian Emperor traversed the vast expanse of the universe, its trajectory aimed directly at the Red Sun River in Hong State. The powerful overlords situated across the land of Hong State fell into a profound silence.

This conflict, while significant, did not directly involve them. Despite recognizing Ye Xuan’s objective to establish his dominance, none dared to utter a word of opposition.
