The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1880 - 1877: Head-to-Head Clash

"Insignificant provocation..."

As the words left his lips, Ye Xuan lifted his gaze towards Jin Hai, who hovered in the sky like a Sword Emperor, his expression utterly devoid of emotion.

Buzz—

Instantly, a terrifying oppressive force emanated from Ye Xuan’s eyes, surging directly at Jin Hai!

Jin Hai met Ye Xuan’s stare.

In that fleeting moment, Jin Hai witnessed an unbelievable spectacle, his pupils widening in shock before abruptly constricting.

Immediately thereafter.

An anguished cry echoed from all the formidable golden swords, and they plummeted powerlessly towards the Primordial Emperor Road.

A vast number of golden swords rained down upon Impermanence Sword Lord and the others.

"What is Jin Hai doing!?"

A wave of extreme dissatisfaction washed over Blood Child and the onlookers.

"He... appears to be suppressed?"

Bai Shuiyue, her six eyes fixated on Jin Hai, uttered with a hint of uncertainty.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Impermanence Sword Lord made his move, his Lifebound Flying Sword drawn, effortlessly deflecting all the incoming golden swords.

Boom!

At this precise moment, Jin Hai lost all composure and plummeted towards the Primordial Emperor Road.

The sight sent shivers down everyone’s spine.

Yet, not a single soul moved to catch him.

Jin Hai landed unsteadily, barely avoiding a full fall, his face an ashen white. After regaining his balance, he gazed up at the youth in black robes, an inexplicable dread gripping his heart.

What had this person just done!?

Ye Xuan peered down at Jin Hai once more, his voice calm as he spoke, "You couldn't even maintain control of your golden swords; what right do you have to prattle so recklessly before me?"

"Oh, and by the way."

"I shall answer your question now. I am indeed Ye Xuan, the one you seek."

Upon hearing these words, the expressions of everyone present shifted.

The outcome didn't particularly surprise them.

When Ye Xuan had initially intercepted Jin Hai’s attack, everyone had already begun to speculate about his identity.

And now, Ye Xuan’s affirmation confirmed their suspicions.

"Since we've found each other, let us have a spar then."

Impermanence Sword Lord performed a casual sword flourish, his demeanor serene and his usual carefree disposition intact.

At this juncture, Jin Hai extended a hand to halt Impermanence Sword Lord, then straightened his posture, fixed his gaze on Ye Xuan, and declared softly, "This opponent is mine. None of you are permitted to interfere!"

Despite the astonishing turn of events just moments before, Jin Hai felt no trace of fear.

On the contrary, having confirmed Ye Xuan’s identity, Jin Hai’s fighting spirit surged.

He was eager to ascertain the extraordinary capabilities possessed by the foremost ranker of this season's Mystic Yellow List, hailing from the Xuanhuang Great World.

As he concluded his statement, Jin Hai flicked his sleeve.

Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!

In an instant, the previously dispersed Lifebound Gold Swords zipped back to Jin Hai’s side.

And a significant portion of them then hurtled towards Ye Xuan!

The golden swords sliced through the air, intent on obliterating Ye Xuan entirely!

The very fabric of the void seemed to tear, exuding an ominous aura.

The dazzling display left the observers in stunned admiration.

Thud!

At this critical moment, a muffled sound, akin to a spring thunderclap, seemed to erupt from within Ye Xuan.

Immediately following, a formidable surge of blood Qi erupted from his very being.

Concurrent with this, behind Ye Xuan, a vast expanse of purple Qi enveloped him, a manifestation of extraordinary phenomena.

The terrifying blood Qi radiated outwards, creating a distinct domain.

As the incoming golden swords penetrated this protective domain, they seemed to become ensnared in a viscous mire, their momentum drastically reduced.

Next, Ye Xuan gently stamped his foot upon the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The golden swords were utterly pulverized, shattering into countless fragments.

"What is this..."

"This individual’s physique is aberrant!"

Upon witnessing this astonishing turn of events, Jin Hai’s pupils contracted once more.

The potent blood Qi possessed the ability to disintegrate his golden swords!

This feat alone would necessitate at least a Great Success in the Divine Body or perhaps even the Great Success of the Sacred Body.

It was utterly unexpected that this Ye Xuan possessed such formidable physique cultivation!

With this revelation, Jin Hai recalled his golden swords. Instead, he launched himself directly at Ye Xuan, his eyes blazing with intense battle fervor.

"In that case, I shall engage you in a proper duel!"

Boom!

Jin Hai transformed into a streak of golden light, hurtling towards Ye Xuan with incredible speed.

He resembled a colossal ancient mountain ascending into the heavens!

The oppressive aura surrounding him was palpable and immense!

Thud!

Ye Xuan raised his hand and threw a powerful punch!

"Excellent!"

Jin Hai, far from being taken aback, was instead exhilarated. He met Ye Xuan’s punch with one of his own.

Buzz!

Jin Hai’s fist was encased in a dense layer of golden light, appearing as if it were forged from pure gold.

This phenomenon was intrinsically linked to Jin Hai’s lineage, originating from a prestigious family within the Heavenly Domain, known inherently as the Golden Clan, deriving their clan name from the element of gold.

The Golden Clan of the Heavenly Domain was a name renowned throughout the entirety of the Heavenly Domain.

Their progenitor was once the most colossal Golden Divine Mountain within the Xuanhuang Great World. Transitioning into a spiritual form, they eventually reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm, carving out a name for themselves as the Golden Quasi-Emperor on the Emperor Road. Subsequently, they ventured to the Heavenly Domain to establish the Gold Clan.

This Jin Hai hailed from the absolute, monstrous talent of the Gold Clan residing in the Heavenly Domain. He once received direct tutelage from the ancestor, the renowned Golden Quasi-Emperor, and was lauded as the hope of the Gold Clan for this generation. It was believed he possessed the potential to surpass his ancestor, becoming the first Great Emperor in the entire history of the Gold Clan.

As an intrinsic member of the Gold Clan, Jin Hai's mastery over the Gold Dao was absolutely peerless.

In terms of comprehending the Gold Dao, even among the most exceptional young talents in the Heavenly Domain, few could truly match Jin Hai's prowess.

At this very moment, Jin Hai’s executed move directly ignited the very origin of the Gold Clan—a profoundly special bloodline power. This stimulus allowed Jin Hai to fully merge his comprehension of the Gold Dao with his own being, thereby attaining the legendary realm known as Vajra Immortal!

The sheer force unleashed by this punch was utterly earth-shattering!

That singular punch seemed to rend the very fabric of time and space.

In stark contrast, Ye Xuan’s counter-punch displayed no overt or apparent momentum, representing two diametrically opposed extremes.

Yet, not a soul present would dare to underestimate Ye Xuan’s strike.

There exists a specific kind of power, one that achieves the state of 'Returning to the Truth'.

All formidable power was concentrated into a single punch, rendering it invisible to the outward eye, yet its terrifying might was boundless.

Thud!

Their fists met within the void, and for an instant, it felt as though time and space itself had come to a standstill.

Not a single wisp of power leaked outward.

After a brief pause, a thunderous boom echoed through the area. Jin Hai's entire body was sent hurtling backward, his right arm shattered in the process!

Golden blood sprayed outward like a macabre fountain.

"Ah!"

Jin Hai let out a furious scream, his voice choked with indignant rage!

Thud!

Before Jin Hai could even begin to recover his physical form, Ye Xuan had already aggressively closed the distance, driving a palm strike directly into Jin Hai's chest!

Jin Hai was forcefully slammed, his body impacting the very ground of the Primordial Emperor Road.

The entire Primordial Emperor Road vibrated violently from the sheer impact.

Jin Hai lay sprawled on the Primordial Emperor Road, crimson blood flowing from all his orifices, utterly defeated and in immense agony.

He fixed a furious, hateful glare upon Ye Xuan.

As Ye Xuan withdrew his palm, Jin Hai's head lolled to the side, and he fainted, collapsing onto the ground.

Buzz————

Simultaneously, directly before Ye Xuan, a tiny golden particle materialized out of thin air.

This golden particle resembled mere dust, yet it emanated a dazzling golden light, making it impossible to ignore.

This represented the power of the Gold Dao that Ye Xuan had acquired after vanquishing Jin Hai.

This was the direct reward granted by the Emperor Road itself.

Contained within this particle were Jin Hai's profound insights and understandings regarding the Gold Dao.

This was precisely the fundamental purpose and reward for traversing the Emperor Road.

The Impermanence Sword Lord, Bai Shuiyue, and the others witnessed this spectacle, their expressions growing grave.

Jin Hai... had truly lost!

This time, even the Emperor Road itself bore witness to Jin Hai's definitive defeat.
