The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1865 - 1862: Emperor Road Stele

"Changge!"

Gu Changfeng, part of Gu Changge's entourage, noticed Ye Xuan speeding towards them on the Tianchi Little Peng King, his face turning ashen as he glanced at his cousin, Gu Changge.

"Hmm."

Gu Changge gave a slight nod, no longer holding back his capabilities.

Boom!

In the subsequent moment, Gu Changge unleashed a boundless Taiyang power, projecting an image akin to a Sun Divine King!

Swiftly thereafter, Gu Changge transformed into a blazing divine rainbow of the sun, piercing through the heavens!

The pervasive aura of the Dao continued to descend, yet Gu Changge effortlessly nullified it all!

Before long, Gu Changge managed to close the distance with the Tianchi Little Peng King.

This spectacle caused everyone's eyes to widen in astonishment.

Could this be the legendary Taiyang Immortal Body?

How incredibly formidable!

"It appears the two of them are on the verge of entering the conflict."

Duan Qingcang, Wu Ting, Mu Tian, and the others couldn't help but voice their thoughts upon witnessing this development.

At this juncture, they too ceased holding back their full potential.

Like the tale of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displayed their unique divine abilities. Potent divine rainbows and vast spiritual auras surged across the Emperor Road, engaged in a silent competition to determine who would reach its conclusion first.

The Snow Storage Tang Kui also kept pace, accelerating his progress. As his imposing aura erupted, he too dispersed the descending Dao breaths, advancing with remarkable speed.

However, having previously received a subtle warning from Ye Xuan, Tang Kui maintained a safe distance, refraining from getting too close.

This was not an act of fear.

Rather, his intention was to preserve his strength for the actual Emperor Road, where he wished to engage in combat.

Engaging in battle here, even in victory, would be deemed inconsequential.

But the situation was entirely different on the Emperor Road itself.

Victory achieved on the Emperor Road would result in the bestowed gift of a Daoist Technique, perfectly suited to the victor, thereby reinforcing their Dao and elevating their power.

This represented the most significant opportunity presented by the Emperor Road.

Furthermore, securing a commendable ranking on the Emperor Road would yield even more generous rewards.

Based on accounts from past individuals who had traversed the Emperor Road, there existed even the possibility of acquiring a Tao Fruit, a supreme chance for advancement.

It was whispered that consuming this Tao Fruit could catalyze the evolution of one's Dao, potentially leading to the attainment of the Great Saint Realm.

In addition to this, a plethora of ancient scriptures and Daoist Techniques were also available.

In the latter stages of the Emperor Road, participants might even brush against Tian Ming!

This was the ultimate opportunity, the very path to becoming an Emperor.

For these compelling reasons, individuals chose to reserve their battles for the true Emperor Road.

"Curses!"

At this very moment, the sight of Gu Changge closing in ignited a fierce determination within the Tianchi Little Peng King, causing him to surge forward with renewed vigor.

It is worth noting that the Tianchi Little Peng King, possessing the bloodline of the Golden Winged Rocs, exhibited unparalleled speed.

Even when confronted by Gu Changge, the wielder of the Taiyang Immortal Body, he still maintained a significant advantage in terms of swiftness!

Nevertheless, Gu Changge was not one to be outdone. Perceiving that the sheer power of his physical form alone was insufficient to outpace the Tianchi Little Peng King, he promptly employed the esteemed Flying Immortal Step, a renowned technique from the Gu Family's Sacred Land.

With a single stride, he manifested the semblance of an ascending immortal, vanishing in a blur.

In that instant, the gap between him and the Tianchi Little Peng King widened considerably!

"Ha, this fellow!"

The Tianchi Little Peng King became utterly serious, unleashing a sudden flurry of wing beats. His form began to spiral in mid-air as he called out, "Brother Ye, hold on tight!"

"Here we go!"

With those words, the Tianchi Little Peng King transformed into a streak of golden light, shattering the air and rapidly overtaking Gu Changge, who was employing the Flying Immortal Step.

"Though you possess an Immortal Body, when it comes to a contest of speed, you are still somewhat inexperienced!"

Having left Gu Changge in his wake, the Tianchi Little Peng King let out a hearty laugh.

For an individual merely ranked seventeenth on the Mystic Yellow List, surpassing Gu Changge in the realm of speed was indeed a notable accomplishment!

But before the Tianchi Little Peng King could revel in his triumph for too long, Gu Changge reappeared, having once again closed the distance.

Unwilling to concede, the Tianchi Little Peng King pushed his limits even further.

Thus, an intense chase unfolded between the two formidable figures.

This pursuit continued for a span of three days.

And on this very day, Ye Xuan finally glimpsed the endpoint.

Or, more accurately...

The starting point!

At the culmination of their journey lay a vast expanse resembling a cosmic star sea. At its very heart, an Immortal Bud unfurled in full bloom, resembling a lotus graced by descending purple mists, enveloped by swirling Dao energy, and...

There stood an enormous stele.

The entirety of this stele, meticulously crafted from Starry Sky Divine Jade, shimmered with an innumerable array of stars, radiating potent starlight.

Appearing as one with the Emperor Road, the stele exuded an aura of timeless permanence and unyielding constancy.

"Could that be the conclusion of the Emperor Road?"

The Tianchi Little Peng King expressed his astonishment upon beholding the scene.

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a subtle smile gracing the corners of his lips: "That, my friend, is the starting point of the Emperor Road."

Boom!

Instantly, the Tianchi Little Peng King, carrying Ye Xuan, traversed the sky, arriving at the gateway to the Emperor Road.

Concurrently, Gu Changge also made his arrival.

Astonishingly, they arrived contemporaneously.

The Tianchi Little Peng King regarded Gu Changge with sincerity, stating, "You possess commendable skill, managing to match my pace."

Disregarding the Tianchi Little Peng King, Gu Changge tilted his head, a trace of bewilderment in his gaze as he surveyed the colossal starry monument. "The Emperor Road Stele..."

The path to becoming Emperor is fraught with peril.

As arduous as the act of forging the heavens.

Yet, inscribing one's name upon the Emperor Road Stele is a feat of even greater difficulty, akin to compelling the River of Time to reverse its course.

But at this precise juncture.

Numerous names were already etched onto the celestial stele.

Jiuyu Great Emperor.

Gu Tu Great Emperor.

Vajra Great Emperor.

Heavenly Termination Ancient Emperor.

Ming Jing Great Emperor.

Heavenly Dragon Emperor.

Ice Soul Empress.

......

Every single name.

All belonged to Great Emperors.

However, during their respective ascents along the Emperor Road, they had not yet attained the rank of Emperor.

Gu Changge gradually regained his composure, declaring with a hushed tone, "From this day forth, I am Taiyang. Should I succeed in proving the Emperor's Dao, I shall be known as Taiyang Great Emperor!"

Rumble!

Instantly, a monumental celestial phenomenon erupted at the very commencement of the Emperor Road.

Beyond the Emperor Road's confines, the Mists of Chaos churned, making way for the emergence of a blazing sun that ascended, bathing the entirety of the Emperor Road in its radiant illumination!

This celestial event signified the Emperor Road acknowledging Gu Changge's solemn vow of Dao!

If Gu Changge were to ascend to emperorship in the future, the inscription 'Taiyang Great Emperor' would manifest upon the Emperor Road Stele.

Boom!

Immediately following, a formidable Dao aura, gushing like an endless river, descended upon Gu Changge's Heavenly Gate!

In this moment, Gu Changge received the unreserved validation of the Emperor Road!

Bearing witness to this spectacle, the multitudes who had arrived later were utterly astonished.

"Did Gu Changge emerge victorious?"

Duan Qingcang and his companions exchanged perplexed glances.

"Hahaha, we have triumphed!"

From further behind, Gu Changfeng and his cohort, upon observing the unfolding scene, were filled with elation. They then turned their gaze towards the East Desolate Wolf, Qiao Xinyu, Hai Dong, and others, proclaiming with a measured tone, "You have lost; concede that you are but dogs!"

The East Desolate Wolf's countenance darkened, finding it difficult to accept this reality.

Yet, from the current circumstances, it appeared he had indeed been defeated?

This outcome seemed improbable.

After all, he bore the title of Emperor Ye!

And at this very moment, situated at the Emperor Road's origin, observing Gu Changge's extraordinary manifestations, the Tianchi Little Peng King experienced a flicker of wistful envy. He quietly inquired, "Brother Ye, perhaps we too should utter a Dao pledge before this Emperor Road Stele?"

"By all means, proceed."

Ye Xuan descended with an air of grace from atop the Tianchi Little Peng King, a serene smile gracing his features.

The Tianchi Little Peng King, visibly excited, transitioned into his human form. He presented as a divine being, enveloped in a golden luminescence, exuding an exceptionally majestic presence.

However, at that precise instant, the Tianchi Little Peng King found himself scratching his head, a look of indecision upon his face. "Brother Ye, should I proclaim myself Tianchi Great Emperor or Tianpeng Great Emperor?"

"I feel that both titles suit me rather well."

The Tianchi Little Peng King remained uncertain.

Without casting a glance backward, Ye Xuan responded, "Disregard the title of Tianpeng Great Emperor; it would be prudent to avoid becoming a pig in the future."

The Tianchi Little Peng King: "???"
