The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1869 - 1866: Taiyang Immortal Body, Gu Changge
Previously on The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor...
"Why not traverse the Taiyang Emperor Road?"
Gu Changge inquired with an air of composure.
Ye Xuan let his hands fall naturally to his sides, his eyes as tranquil as still water, and replied with measured words, "You speak far too much."
A flicker of fighting Pntent ignited within Gu Changge as he declared, "Silence is acceptable if you wish, but I shall expound on my choice of the Primordial Emperor Road—it is because I intend to vanquish you right here."
As his words resonated, the formidable Power of Taiyang surrounding Gu Changge surged forth without restraint.
At this precise juncture, Gu Changge’s form began to ascend gradually from the Primordial Emperor Road, becoming airborne. The Bronze Immortal Palace, suspended in the celestial dome, along with other significant entities, all actively parted ways, yielding a clear path.
It was as though a resplendent Sun Monarch had graced the mortal realm, commanding absolute obedience from all!
In this moment, Gu Changge unequivocally unveiled his true might.
Suspended in the ethereal expanse, his robes billowed dramatically, and behind him, a succession of vast, blazing Fierce Suns manifested in spectacular fashion!
An intensely scorching aura permeated the entirety of the Primordial Emperor Road.
This overwhelming display caused even the powerhouses at the Great Sage Realm, who had yet to fully grasp the intricacies of the Emperor Road's laws, to gasp sharply, struck with profound terror by Gu Changge’s fearsome presence.
Hovering serenely in the air, Gu Changge cast his gaze downwards upon Ye Xuan, his eyes radiating absolute dominance, and slowly invited, "Come."
That single word, "Come," seemed to encapsulate the world's most profound principles, akin to the decree of a Great Emperor, proclaiming adherence to cosmic laws!
Rumble————
Millions of Divine Suns unleashed their incandescent fury upon the Primordial Emperor Road, compelling the cultivators still on its path to hastily retreat and seek refuge.
They deferred their chosen Dao, opting instead to observe the unfolding spectacle from a safe distance.
This was a confrontation that had ignited immense anticipation.
On one side stood the undisputed strongest Reserve Emperor of Xuanhuang.
On the other, an unparalleled figure blessed with the legendary Taiyang Immortal Body.
Their collision was destined to astound the very heavens and shake the ethereal realms!
Initially, it was widely believed that this monumental clash would transpire only at the zenith of the Three Thousand Emperor Paths.
However, the current circumstances indicated otherwise.
"Shall we not proceed?"
From a secluded vantage point along the Primordial Emperor Road, a young man posed the question to the young woman who stood before him, adorned in an ethereal, pale yellow long skirt, exuding an aura of otherworldly grace.
"There is no need for haste," the young woman replied softly, her gaze fixed intently upon Ye Xuan.
Following the prior engagement at Zhongxuan Mountain, this individual had definitively cemented his renown as Xuanhuang’s preeminent Reserve Emperor, even faintly demonstrating the potential to ascend as the mightiest existence beneath Heavenly Dao’s dominion in the entirety of the Xuanhuang Great World.
Whispers throughout the realm suggested that Ye Xuan had already attained an Immortal Body.
She harbored a keen desire to ascertain the veracity of these claims.
Furthermore, her intention was to employ a stratagem akin to 'borrowing a stone from another mountain to polish one's jade,' thereby perfecting her own nascent Dark Immortal Body.
She stood precariously on the precipice, a mere single step away from achieving the definitive Dark Immortal Body!
So agonizingly close, yet still a step short!
Even now, a profound sense of dissatisfaction lingered within her.
Yet, the harsh realities of her situation compelled her to seek alternative avenues to bridge this final gap.
The present circumstance offered precisely such an opportune moment.
"He represents your inner demon, does he not?"
The young man followed Yun Si’s line of sight towards Ye Xuan, his eyes narrowing slightly as he articulated his observation.
Hailing from the Heavenly Domain Emperor Palace, he had already attained the status of an Invincible Great Sage.
His current presence in the lower realm was primarily at the behest of Emperor Mu, tasked with accompanying the mysterious Yuhua woman, Yun Si, along the Emperor Road.
Despite the Yuhua Immortal Sect’s prestigious standing as the paramount overlord of Xuanzhou and its claim to be among the top ten formidable powers within the Xuanhuang Great World, it was widely acknowledged that the sect’s ascendance owed much to Emperor Mu’s subsequent attainment of supreme power, rendering them comparatively less formidable than other established Great Emperor Immortal Sects or Longevity Families.
In terms of sheer historical depth and accumulated power, they simply could not compare.
The Yuhua Immortal Sect lacked any Reincarnators or the fabled Snow Storages; their contingent for the Emperor Road consisted solely of a handful of Great Sages from within the sect.
It was precisely this disparity that prompted the young man’s descent into the lower realm.
His name was Han Jue, having undergone rigorous training within Emperor Mu’s Palace from a tender age.
This tutelage was not predicated on any familial connection to Emperor Mu, but rather on his exceptional innate talent, compounded by the fact that his father, Han Yanbing, served as one of the ten esteemed Emperor Generals under Emperor Mu's command.
He had made his way to the lower realm long before the Great Ruins were sealed.
Nonetheless, this crucial piece of information had remained undisclosed.
To this day, no one was privy to his true identity.
Yun Yun Si, the enigmatic woman of Yuhua, included.
Yet, Han Jue was acutely aware that it would not be long before a multitude of prodigious young talents from the Heavenly Domain began to descend.
While the Heavenly Domain offered unparalleled opportunities, direct ascension to the Emperor Road was not permitted; passage necessitated a descent to the lower realms first.
Regarding the individual known as Ye Xuan, despite Han Jue’s residence in the Heavenly Domain, his reputation had reached Han Jue through numerous channels.
He was purported to be the most formidable prodigy to emerge within the Xuanhuang Great World in recent years.
Yet, regretfully, Han Jue had not yet had the opportunity to witness his combat prowess firsthand.
To be entirely candid, Han Jue himself anticipated the unfolding events with considerable eagerness.
"A heart demon, perhaps..." The Mysterious Woman of Yuhua offered no denial. "One must slay their heart demon on the Emperor Road," Han Jue stated, crossing his arms with a smile. As the two conversed, Gu Changge's aura ascended to its zenith, with each exhalation, suns ignited and perished. It was terrifying to an extreme! Conversely, Ye Xuan remained stationary on the Primordial Emperor Road, his aura quiescent, utterly incomparable. Yet, for reasons unknown, Gu Changge's fearsome presence did not encroach within ten feet of Ye Xuan. It was profoundly mysterious. "You will perish." Ye Xuan addressed Gu Changge with indifference. Gu Changge calmly retorted, "Should I fall here, it would merely confirm my limitations." Observing Gu Changge's apparent resolve, Ye Xuan inclined his head. "Very well." "Is it about to commence!" Witnessing the scene unfold, onlookers situated upon the Primordial Emperor Road displayed eager anticipation. Boom! In the subsequent instant, Ye Xuan's form abruptly dematerialized from the Primordial Emperor Road. He reappeared directly before Gu Changge. Such astonishing velocity surpassed even instantaneous teleportation! Gu Changge, far from being taken aback, grinned, simultaneously elevating his right hand and unleashing a powerful punch! In a similar fashion, Ye Xuan flung his fist forward with sudden might. Thud—————— Fists met. Instantly, the firmament above was rent asunder by countless energy waves forced into submission by the dual powers, even the heavens themselves shifted in hue. Boom boom boom———— Concurrently, the solar bodies arrayed behind Gu Changge detonated in succession. However, upon their demise, they did not dissipate; instead, they transmuted into boundless Taiyang Power, coalescing into the Divine River of Taiyang, which surged towards Gu Changge. The might contained within a single punch was world-altering! "Even within the Heavenly Domain, these two would stand as elites amongst the younger generation," Han Jue mused internally, assessing his capacity to withstand their combined onslaught. Perhaps he could endure, but at the potential cost of his origins being compromised. An Immortal Body, ultimately, remained an Immortal Body! Even with the Heavenly Dao's suppression preventing its attainment of the Great Success stage, it still surpassed both the Great Success Divine Body and the Great Success Sacred Body. "Brother Ye, your strength is truly remarkable; you have not disappointed me!" At this juncture, Gu Changge was consumed by exhilaration. The world proclaimed his lack of engagement in combat. It was not that he refrained from fighting; rather, he had already achieved invincibility, whether pitted against peers or those of superior cultivation realms, none could match his prowess. Under such circumstances, was there still a need for him to contend? Especially under the Heavenly Dao's oppressive influence, he had ascended to the pinnacle, an Invincible Great Sage. A half-step Great Success Immortal Body. He posed the question: In this world, how many could truly be considered Gu Changge's adversaries? But now, he had finally encountered an individual worthy of being deemed a true foe! Ye Xuan!
