The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1861 - 1858: Emperor Road of the Myriad Worlds

————

Within the bounds of the Ancient Great World, one of the ten most formidable realms, the Emperor Road has unfurled its path. It materialized high above the skies of Eternal Mountain, a preeminent power on the East Mountain Continent, itself a major landmass within the Ancient Great World.

Wu Yunchou, the heir of Eternal Mountain, has achieved mastery of the 'Yunmeng Ninth Layer Heaven,' the very same profound technique wielded by Emperor Mu. His unique cultivation path is further bolstered by the protection of Emperor General Tian Tu, a trusted commander under Emperor Mu, granting Wu Yunchou unparalleled advantages.

The Emperor General himself personally facilitated Wu Yunchou's journey onto the Emperor Road, marking him as the very first individual from the Ancient Great World to embark on this legendary path.

Upon setting foot on the Emperor Road, Wu Yunchou swiftly acclimated to the profound Daoist aura that permeated the surroundings.

Wu Yunchou, possessing a tall and youthful countenance, bears a pair of long spears strapped to his back. These weapons hum with an exceptional sharpness and an imposing aura.

Despite limited engagement in direct combat within the Ancient Great World, Wu Yunchou had already carved out a formidable reputation for himself.

His renown surged particularly after reaching the Great Sage Realm. Three pivotal battles solidified his legendary status across the Ancient Great World.

The first momentous clash was against God Martial Child, a prodigious talent from the ancient Divine Martial Sect, located in Nanguzhou, another of the Ancient Great World's continental powers.

God Martial Child held the esteemed sixth position on the Ancient World Ranking.

Although Wu Yunchou's ascent to the Great Sage Realm propelled him to thirteenth place on the Ancient List, he was still notably outranked by God Martial Child.

Nevertheless, in their direct confrontation, Wu Yunchou achieved a stunning victory, defeating God Martial Child with a single decisive move.

Furthermore, this intense battle forged a bond of friendship between Wu Yunchou and God Martial Child.

Representing Eternal Mountain and the Divine Martial Sect respectively, both hailed from ancient, prestigious lineages situated across the Four Continents of the Ancient Great World.

Their burgeoning alliance immediately ignited rumors and speculation regarding potential future cooperation between Eternal Mountain and the Divine Martial Sect.

Following this, Wu Yunchou engaged in two more significant duels.

His second trial was against Purple Heaven Deity, who was ranked fourth on the Ancient List. This formidable opponent hailed from the North Pole Continent, another major power among the Four Continents, and was the pride of the Purple Heaven Sacred Land.

Once again, the outcome was a testament to Wu Yunchou's superior strength.

Wu Yunchou emerged victorious once more.

The third and final battle was contested against Green Lotus Fairy, holding the second position on the Ancient List.

Green Lotus Fairy, originating from the West Pole Continent, another of the Four Continents, was a disciple of the ancient Qinglian Grotto Heaven. She had mastered the exquisite Qinglian Sword Technique, distinguishing herself as an unparalleled female Sword Immortal.

Throughout the Ancient World, Green Lotus Fairy commanded immense admiration and widespread fame.

Her swordsmanship, as captivating as her beauty, enthralled not only the younger generation but also garnered devoted followers from among the older, established powerful figures.

However, Green Lotus Fairy maintained a reclusive presence, rarely interacting with the wider world, which only amplified the mystique surrounding her.

In this particular duel, Wu Yunchou secured a hard-fought victory by the narrowest of margins – a single move.

Consequently, Wu Yunchou's renown experienced an explosive surge.

Just as the world anticipated Wu Yunchou challenging the individual acclaimed as the 'Ancient First,' the Emperor Road unexpectedly opened.

And that brings us to the current unfolding events.

Consequently, the discourse surrounding this topic has only intensified, far from diminishing.

It is highly probable that a climactic confrontation between them awaits on the Emperor Road.

At this precise moment, Wu Yunchou stands as the vanguard, the first to tread upon the Emperor Road, leading the way with an air of composure and a gaze that pierces through all.

The prevailing belief among most is that his ultimate objective is to challenge the so-called 'Ancient First.'

However, such ambitions were far from his mind.

The three preceding battles served a distinct purpose: to ascertain and validate the caliber of the current generation's prodigies within the Ancient Great World.

This includes formidable individuals like God Martial Child, Purple Heaven Deity, and Green Lotus Fairy.

Each possessed their own unique path and destiny.

It was for this reason that he deliberately chose to engage them in combat.

Regarding the individual known as the 'Ancient First,' Wu Yunchou had previously inquired about this person from Emperor General Tian Tu. He learned that this figure was not a contemporary, but rather someone who had undergone reincarnation – be it a Quasi-Emperor or a Great Emperor reincarnator.

As such, Wu Yunchou held no particular interest in this individual.

In stark contrast, a profound and ultimate objective lay hidden deep within his heart.

That objective was Ye Xuan, who resided far away in the Xuanhuang Great World!

His ultimate aim was to penetrate the second stage of the Emperor Road and engage Ye Xuan in a duel of supreme skill.

As Wu Yunchou bravely ascends the Emperor Road, figures such as God Martial Child, Purple Heaven Deity, and Green Lotus Fairy also make their appearances, following him onto the Emperor Road.

Parallel events are simultaneously transpiring in other vast Great Worlds.

For instance, within the Ghost Great World, represented by the formidable three great Ghost Clans, individuals like Qingming Yuchan, Heavenly Swallowing Saint, Haoran Child, and Cloud Ghost Ten Dragons – all peerless heavenly geniuses – have commenced their ascent onto the Emperor Road.

Concurrently, the most enigmatic figure, the first-ranked individual, or perhaps more accurately, the foremost ghost on the Ghost List, finally unveils their true identity.

This entity is indeed a terrifying existence, possessing the ancient bloodline of the Nine Nether Empire Ghost Clan.

Known as Empire Ghost and boasting of his invincibility, he achieved the distinction of being the first to ascend the Emperor Road within the Ghost Great World.

Comparable scenarios unfolded across the Western Heaven Great World, Demons Great World, Yunshan’s Ten Realms, Heavenly Demon World, Heavenly Gang Great World, Formless Great World, and Wuji Great World.

The contests on the Emperor Road across the Ten Realms of the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds frequently served as indicators of future trajectories.

This has been the historical pattern.

However, the present era diverges from the norm.

Two Emperors ascend to the zenith, marking nine thousand years since the End of Dharma Era.

Under this immense pressure, other Great Worlds exhibited signs of rebirth and transformation.

Furthermore, a mysterious Black Sky Ancient Nether Great World loomed.

This conflict on the Emperor Road was thus destined to be more astonishing than any before!

And this was merely the inception.

As the Heavenly Dao Suppression lifted and Great Sages alongside Quasi-Emperors ascended the Emperor Road, utter chaos was poised to engulf the Emperor Road's landscape!

Meanwhile.

In the Xuanhuang Great World.

Upon the Emperor Road.

A young man clad in white led the charge, outshining all others.

Each of his steps was firm, radiating a destructive aura that declared dominance anytime, anywhere.

His entire being was akin to the avatar of a blazing sun, possessing the power to incinerate the entirety of the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

This individual was none other than Gu Changge.

A True Dragon from the esteemed Gu Family, a Longevity Family, he was born with the Taiyang Immortal Body and identified as an authentic Reserve Emperor!

He had yet to actively engage in combat.

Yet, his mere advance was sufficient to intimidate others into lowering their gaze with his invincible aura.

He was rumored to be less than a hundred years old.

Already an Invincible Great Sage.

Had it not been for the Heavenly Dao Suppression, he might have already reached the Great Saint Realm!

A Great Saint in just a century—what a terrifying pace of cultivation!

Throughout history, very few had attained such a stature.

This fact alone underscored his immense power.

Following in his wake were close to twenty young men and women.

These were the chosen elites from various continents within the Xuanhuang Great World, who had pledged allegiance to Gu Changge upon his emergence, aspiring to become his Emperor Generals when he eventually claimed the Great Emperor throne.

Not too far off, a contingent of peerless heavenly geniuses, each representing the pinnacle of their generation. These chosen figures were either the hidden prodigies of Longevity Families or ancient inheritors who had reincarnated, with each possessing exceptional, unparalleled talent.

Amidst this assembly, Qiao Xinyu, the East Desolate Wolf, and Hai Dong proceeded with an unhurried gait.

Beside them, a young boy garbed in white chattered incessantly, "Little Xinyu, won't you accompany your little martial uncle? He feels so terribly lonely all by himself. If your little martial uncle faces off against that fellow named Gu Changge and suffers defeat, who will then look after my physical body?"
