The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1866 - 1863: Dao Baptism

Ultimately, the Skywing Little Roc King bestowed upon himself the imperial title of Skywing Great Emperor. Subsequently, much like Gu Changge, he uttered his Dao oath, thereby earning the affirmation of the Emperor Road Stele amidst a spectacle of myriad phenomena.

Within the Chaos Mist, following a series of tumultuous movements, a Golden Winged Roc ascended, piercing straight towards the Ninth Layer Heaven. It unleashed sounds akin to shattering metal, so potent they seemed capable of tearing the firmament asunder.

Shortly thereafter, a majestic Dao aura descended, imbuing the Skywing Little Roc King with its essence.

This remarkable event was observed intently by Duan Qingcang, Zhou Ye, and the others, who etched it into their memories.

They fully intended to emulate this feat when their turn came.

The attainment of emperorship, or its denial, is a matter dictated by mortal ambition but ultimately decided by the heavens.

Uncertain of their ultimate fate, yet having reached this precipice, they were resolute in seeing it through.

Should they perish on the Emperor Road, so be it.

From the very moment they embarked on this path, such an outcome was a distinct possibility they had embraced.

A great soul, born between the heavens and the earth, must harbor aspirations; without them, what purpose would there be!

Should their names fail to resonate across the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, how would they differ from the common throng?

How would they be distinguished from the mere mortals they so readily dismissed as ants?

A collection of exceptional talents found their spirits ignited with fervent passion at this juncture.

However, what transpired next left everyone utterly astonished.

They had been in the process of gathering their resolve, preparing to fully immerse themselves in the profound atmosphere of the Emperor Road.

Furthermore, they were anticipating Ye Xuan's own Dao oath.

Great curiosity coursed through them regarding the imperial title Ye Xuan might choose for himself.

After all, he was widely considered the individual among them with the highest probability of achieving emperorship.

Yet, to their immense surprise, Ye Xuan showed no inclination whatsoever to take the Dao oath.

Despite this apparent inaction.

Why, then, did the Emperor Road Stele still bestow its recognition upon Ye Xuan?!

Within the boundless expanse of the chaos mist, continuous upheavals ensued.

Soon, it felt as though the entirety of the Emperor Road momentarily dimmed before gradually returning to its normal state.

Then, a Dao aura, thousands of times more immense than that which had enveloped the Skywing Little Roc King and Gu Changge, surged towards Ye Xuan like an unstoppable torrent!

"Incredible, what kind of extraordinary talent does Ye Xuan possess to surpass even Gu Changge!"

The spectacle unfolding before them left the onlookers in a state of profound astonishment.

It was simply too overwhelming!

Not only the observers, but even the Skywing Little Roc King, who was in the midst of his own Dao baptism, expressed surprise: "Night Brother is truly astonishing!"

"Wait, perhaps I am also quite remarkable!"

It was only then that the Skywing Little Roc King comprehended that the Dao baptism he was receiving rivaled that of Gu Changge himself!

What could possibly be the reason for this?

While the Skywing Little Roc King was reluctant to acknowledge Gu Changge's superiority, he had to concede that Gu Changge, with his Taiyang Immortal Body, undoubtedly represented the pinnacle of worldly talent, seemingly beyond any possibility of being surpassed.

Yet here he was, on equal footing with that very individual?

It seemed impossible.

Prior to his arrival, he had consulted with his elders, who had clearly instructed him that during the Dao baptism, the outcome was contingent upon one's inherent talent and demonstrated strength.

His own strength, comparable to Gu Changge's?

Utterly preposterous!

He, himself, could not bring himself to believe it.

The Skywing Little Roc King found himself deeply perplexed, but as his gaze fell upon Ye Xuan's awe-inspiring Dao baptism, a sudden spark ignited within his mind: could Ye Xuan's presence be the cause?

In that moment, the Skywing Little Roc King seemed revitalized. Still immersed in his Dao baptism, he declared: "Night Brother, I have just realized, from this moment forth, I shall be your exclusive mount!"

"This must surely be a boon from a past life existence!"

"Halt!?"

"Night Brother, what are you doing?!"

Before the Skywing Little Roc King could even finish his effusive praise, he abruptly widened his eyes in sheer disbelief as he stared at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan was delivering a relentless barrage of upward punches, as if intending to shatter the very heavens themselves.

The majestic Dao baptism was being forcefully repelled by Ye Xuan, strike after successive strike!

The scene left everyone utterly bewildered!

"Night Brother is..."

Zhou Ye, who held the second position on the Mystic Yellow List, right after Ye Xuan, was equally dumbfounded at this critical moment.

This was beyond comprehension!

To directly shatter the Dao baptism with mere punches?

Such an action defied all logic!

"No..."

A sudden flash of insight struck Zhou Ye, as a thought formed in his mind. He focused intently and then declared: "Wasn't it Night Brother who previously shattered the Destiny Golden Dragon of the Heavenly Dao in Daozhou?"

This current display strongly invoked the memory of a certain legendary prodigy from antiquity.

That particular prodigy had received the blessings of the Destiny Golden Dragon of the Heavenly Dao, only to proceed to shatter it directly.

Ye Xuan's current actions bore an uncanny resemblance to that very prodigy!

"There is no need for doubt, that is indeed him," Duan Qingcang stated with unwavering confidence.

"His Dao, what exactly is it..." Zhou Ye's gaze became profoundly serious.

At this precise moment, the enigmatic Ye Xuan remained even more inscrutable to him than ever before.The grand Destiny Golden Dragon of the Heavenly Dao was cast aside. The Dao baptism, too, was disregarded. What exactly did he desire? "This fellow!" Gu Changge’s eyes narrowed as he witnessed the spectacle. Though he had never truly crossed fists with Ye Xuan, an inexplicable sense of defeat washed over him at that very moment. Ignoring the stunned onlookers, Ye Xuan continued his relentless assault, his fists scattering the Dao baptism entirely. He mused internally, "This Dao baptism is so immense, could it be because of the Taoist Body..." Likely so. However, the inherent nature of the Taoist Body was said to suppress all things. Dao baptism... it made no sense no matter how he pondered it. Perhaps it was simply due to his current seven Immortal Bodies. Lost in thought, Ye Xuan’s fists struck again and again, shattering the Dao baptism. The world required Dao baptism, the Destiny Golden Dragon of the Heavenly Dao. But Ye Xuan found no need for them. His Dao was fundamentally different from everyone else's. Born as an ant, one should harbor ambitions as vast as a swan's; life as fragile as parchment demands an unyielding spirit! This was a principle Ye Xuan had grasped long ago. In times of weakness, self-reliance is paramount. When one becomes strong, why beg for assistance from others? Did Dao baptism and the Destiny Golden Dragon of the Heavenly Dao not represent a form of charity? *Boom!* With a final, resounding punch, Ye Xuan’s gaze deepened, his heart silently uttering three powerful words: Heavenly Emperor Fist. Instantly, the torrent of the endless Dao baptism was completely obliterated, not even brushing against Ye Xuan. The crowd’s astonishment morphed into numbness, then into speechless silence, utterly devoid of words to express their feelings. This was meant to be a heaven-sent opportunity, yet Ye Xuan had directly cast it aside. How many individuals dreamed of such a chance! At this crucial juncture, Qiao Xinyu and the others also made their successive arrivals. Naturally, they had observed the unfolding scene from a distance. However, given that it was Ye Xuan performing this bizarre feat, it wasn't entirely unexpected. People had grown accustomed to his ways. "Since everyone is present, let us fulfill our promise!" Ji Changfeng declared, addressing Ye Xuan directly without further ado. The challenge had commenced, with Ye Xuan as the primary target. After all, to many under Gu Changge’s influence, Ye Xuan was a direct rival. If that was the case, then let a competition ensue. This was merely the beginning! "Master..." East Desolate Wolf looked towards Ye Xuan, his face tinged with paleness. "What are you concerned about? Brother Ye hasn’t lost yet. I arrived with your Young Lord," the Skywing Little Roc King, who had already undergone the Dao baptism, responded indifferently, casting a sidelong glance at Gu Changge. "Hasn't lost?" Gu Changge faltered in surprise. ***
