The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1873 - 1870: Immortal Ancient End

Possessing numerous Hidden Dragon Secret Techniques, including the Dragon Binding Language, all acquired directly from the God of Hidden Dragon, Ye Xuan scanned them.

"It seems I can't gain anything further," Ye Xuan mused, a slight shake of his head accompanying his words.

He had already achieved mastery over the Hidden Dragon Secret Techniques. Though it presented a significant opportunity, its benefits to him were ultimately limited.

Buzz————

At that precise moment, the two dragons depicted beneath the statue of the God of Hidden Dragon appeared to surge with life, their roars echoing through the Immortal Palace.

Without delay, a divine radiance descended from the zenith of the Immortal Palace, piercing the central Enlightenment Array.

The intricate patterns of the Enlightenment Array ignited, pulsating with energy. As every designed line connected, the entire array hummed to life.

Concurrently, Ye Xuan's attention was drawn to an ancient array situated directly beneath the Enlightenment Array. It bore the unmistakable semblance of a Transmission Array, yet with profound distinctions.

This formation was imbued with Dao Patterns intricately linked to the very laws of time itself. A flicker of surprise crossed Ye Xuan's face as he returned to the Enlightenment Array, his movements circling its perimeter.

"Could it possibly be..." Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed as he halted his circuit, stepping decisively into the heart of the Enlightenment Array.

The potent energy of the Enlightenment Array surged, engulfing Ye Xuan and ushering him into a profound state of enlightenment.

Simultaneously, the ancient array lying beneath Ye Xuan's feet became active.

In that instant, Ye Xuan's Emperor Soul seemed to emancipate itself from his Taoist Body, his Primordial Spirit departing its corporeal vessel. Yet, his physical form remained within the array, lost in its enlightened state.

It was a state of unparalleled wonder, a sensation he had never before experienced.

Then, Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul, seemingly guided by an unseen current, was drawn forth from the Bronze Immortal Palace.

Following this ethereal guidance, Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul propelled itself forward, pushing open the imposing bronze immortal gate.

Boom!

The heavy bronze immortal gate creaked open, unleashing a wave of ancient desolation that swept over him.

Ye Xuan gazed upon the unfolding panorama in profound silence.

Beyond the confines of the Bronze Immortal Palace lay the desolate remnants of shattered worlds. That somber realm pulsed with the echoes of relentless war and bloodshed.

He witnessed a figure, akin to an immortal, plummeting from the heavens, shattering into myriad pieces. Drops of its divine blood rained down into the void, fracturing stars as they fell.

In the distance, a colossal Eight-Armed Giant strained to hold up the firmament, only to be smitten by an overwhelming force from above, obliterating all eight of his mighty arms. The giant let out a bellow of defiance, and even with shattered limbs, he continued to push upwards with his shoulders.

Further still, atop a majestic, ancient Immortal Mountain, a warrior of unparalleled prowess launched himself skyward, confronting the heavens with his bare fists.

Beyond the celestial expanse, terrifying adversaries launched a furious assault.

"This is..."

"That ancient battle!"

Ye Xuan's heart trembled with sudden recognition. The scene unfolding before him was nothing less than the cataclysmic end-war of the Immortal Ancient era!

It was in the aftermath of this devastating conflict that the Ancient Immortal Realm had utterly vanished!

"Where is Youwei..."

Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul ventured forth from the Bronze Immortal Palace, traversing the boundless expanse of space-time, desperately searching for Zhou Youwei, the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor.

Ye Xuan’s soul surged directly into the outer heavens. An unshakeable instinct told him that the true climax of that colossal battle had unfolded in the realm beyond.

It lay beyond the Chaos Heavenly Abyss, the very location of the Emperor Pass Great Wall!

However, upon breaching the outer heavens, Ye Xuan encountered an immense, oppressive resistance that barred his progress.

Swiftly, his Emperor Soul felt an irresistible gravitational pull.

Despite wielding the formidable Invincible Emperor Soul, Ye Xuan found himself utterly incapable of resisting this powerful force.

All surroundings rapidly receded from his perception.

In the very next second.

Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul snapped back into his physical body, finding him precisely where he had been, within the Enlightenment Array of the Bronze Immortal Palace.

At this juncture, the radiant glow of the Enlightenment Array began to wane, its intricate patterns fading, drifting upwards like dispersed ashes, as if its residual energy had been utterly spent.

Ye Xuan gradually regained his full senses, his gaze returning to the statue of the God of Hidden Dragon. The statue retained its resplendent appearance, yet its aura of ancient majesty had mysteriously vanished.

Ye Xuan shifted his gaze, his expression deep and contemplative. This experience transcended any of his previous ascensions along the Emperor Road.

No...

Perhaps this was because, in those prior instances, he had been tragically imprisoned within that monstrous body. For him back then, that grotesque form had served as an impenetrable prison, preventing his Emperor Soul from ever departing.

Had it not been for that confinement, he would have long ago abandoned that wretched body.

He had encountered similar arrays in the past, yet they had never reacted in such a manner. Today was fundamentally different; the God of Hidden Dragon had actively channeled the statue's inherent power into the array, thereby unveiling the stark truth of that ancient battle!

His prior understanding of that conflict had been fragmented, pieced together from various disparate sources, leaving significant gaps in his knowledge.

But now, Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul had, in essence, journeyed back to the very precipice of the end-war of the Immortal Ancient era. He had witnessed the terrifying scale of that conflict firsthand.

Even when contrasted with the brutal Emperor Battles of the Emperor Era, it was unequivocally more horrifying. And that, he realized with a chilling certainty, was merely a fraction of the overall devastation.

One can easily picture the fierce clash that transpired at the Emperor Pass, situated beyond the Chaos Heavenly Abyss.

"Could this be the true intention behind the Bronze Immortal Palace?"

Ye Xuan softly breathed out, his mind racing with thoughts.

This revelation led him to ponder the origins of the Emperor Road.

It seemed that everything in existence was intricately connected to that ancient battle!

Ye Xuan cast another look at the God of Hidden Dragon before departing the Bronze Immortal Palace.

This time, his gaze fell upon the Primordial Emperor Road, rather than the battle itself.

Numerous Bronze Immortal Palaces, their shapes irregular, continued to drift through the void.

Without a second thought, Ye Xuan directed his attention towards the next Bronze Immortal Palace.

He held a strong intuition that a complete understanding of that ancient battle would be revealed to him only after he had explored every single Bronze Immortal Palace!

If he could indeed achieve this, it would represent an unparalleled and momentous opportunity!

Swiftly, Ye Xuan targeted yet another Bronze Immortal Palace.

He attempted to interact with it in the same manner as before.

However, Ye Xuan found himself perplexed when no extraordinary event transpired within this particular Bronze Immortal Palace.

In subsequent attempts, Ye Xuan explored several more Bronze Immortal Palaces, yet the outcome remained consistent: nothing remarkable occurred.

This led Ye Xuan to question the validity of his earlier speculation.

Perhaps the Bronze Immortal Palace associated with the God of Hidden Dragon was a unique anomaly.

Alternatively, it might merely be a solitary fragment left behind from the final moments of the Immortal Ancient era.

And perhaps, only that specific fragment held significance.

This emerging conclusion compelled Ye Xuan to reconsider his strategy.

After a period of careful deliberation, Ye Xuan resolved to first revisit the Bronze Immortal Palace connected to the God of Hidden Dragon.

Within the vast expanse of the Primordial Emperor Road, there were, in total, six Stone Immortal Palaces bearing the mark of the God of Hidden Dragon.

Ye Xuan recalled this detail with perfect clarity.

With this thought, Ye Xuan consciously calmed his previously agitated heart, striving to find inner peace.

His primary motivation was to glimpse the past life of Youwei.

This deep-seated desire had been causing him a degree of restlessness.

Once more at ease, Ye Xuan redirected his focus towards the inherent opportunities presented by the Emperor Road.

As he journeyed, Ye Xuan encountered a multitude of spectral apparitions of individuals he recognized.

Ye Xuan acted with swift and decisive ruthlessness, vanquishing figures such as 'Qiao Xinyu,' 'Jiang Ya,' and 'Dugu Jing' on multiple occasions.

Naturally, prominent figures like Gu Changge, Zhou Ye, and Duan Qingcang were not spared; they too met the same fate.

All of them were ultimately overcome and swept aside by Ye Xuan.

These encounters were precisely what Ye Xuan had previously identified as manifestations unique to the Emperor Road.

Along the path of the Three Thousand Emperor Paths, every individual would manifest before others, inevitably leading to a direct confrontation.

Furthermore, as one progressed, cultivators who had previously traversed the Emperor Road would also manifest.

This particular pathway was undoubtedly a trial by combat.

Only through relentless fighting and securing victories could one advance further along the path.

Moreover, the act of defeating these manifestations granted one the ability to observe the opponent's Dao, thereby refining and perfecting one's own Dao.

Ye Xuan had already mastered this technique much earlier.

Consequently, the opponents he faced in the present were naturally no longer sufficient to challenge him.
