The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1883 - 1880: Mountain Summit

Shortly after Ye Xuan and the Senluo Girl departed, a True Destiny Great Sage from the Xuanhuang Great World, having narrowly survived an ambush meant for him by the Nine, stealthily arrived at the location Ye Xuan had recently occupied.

Upon witnessing Jin Hai, the Blood Child, and the others sprawled on the ground, his countenance shifted dramatically.

These individuals had been dealt with by someone?!

On the Primordial Emperor Road, who possessed such formidable strength?

Almost instantaneously, the True Destiny Great Sage's thoughts turned to Ye Xuan.

After all, back at Zhongxuan Mountain, Ye Xuan had once employed a mere avatar to contend alone against over forty invincible existences.

However, uncertainty lingered regarding whether Ye Xuan was presently traversing the Primordial Emperor Road.

As he deliberated, the Great Sage approached the group of eight. After a cursory examination, he commenced looting their possessions.

As for finishing them off?

Such a notion never even flickered through his mind; he could ascertain they were not deceased. To strike now would risk awakening them, thereby placing himself in a perilous predicament. It was far more prudent to strip them of their treasures and depart swiftly.

Acquiring riches without effort—what was not to appreciate?

The unfortunate Jin Hai and his companions, brimming with arrogance due to their elevated status and disdain for those from the Lower Realm, were at that very moment completely plundered, entirely unaware.

......

The suppression exerted by the Heavenly Dao began to wane.

The Myriad Worlds stirred once more.

With the dawn of April, the long-dormant Emperor Road gradually became vibrant again.

But this time, the individuals embarking upon the Emperor Road were ancient existences who had already attained the Great Saint Realm.

Although their numbers were considerably fewer than those of the Great Sage Realm, each expert in the Great Saint Realm was a renowned ancient figure.

Among them were numerous old monsters who had lived for over a million years.

They set foot on the Emperor Road with the intent of pursuing those who had ascended it prior to April.

These Great Saint existences had, for the most part, traversed the Emperor Road previously.

Only a select few existed—top-tier prodigies akin to those in the Heavenly Domain—who had ascended to the Great Saint Realm within the last ninety thousand years without ever having journeyed the Emperor Road.

Yet, should they choose to ascend the Emperor Road now, they would undoubtedly unleash an invincible might, sweeping across it with overwhelming force!

Their ultimate objective was the Apex of the Emperor Road.

However, above the Heavenly Domain, no powerful beings descended to the Lower Realm for an extended period.

Someone, through communication channels with the Heavenly Domain, ascertained that the Heavenly Domain was currently embroiled in chaos.

Warfare and internal strife.

This situation was intensely entangled with the Revenge Lineage and the Double Emperors.

Whether it was the ancient inheritances scattered throughout the Myriad Worlds or the Immortal Sacred Lands situated above the Heavenly Domain, none dared to hastily commit to a side; they opted to observe from a neutral stance.

On one side stood the enigmatic and formidable Revenge Lineage, while on the other loomed the Double Emperors, whose might was established upon the Apex of the Myriad Worlds.

Neither of these factions was one that they could afford to antagonize.

Should they misjudge and choose the wrong allegiance, the painstakingly built inheritances of countless generations could well vanish into nothingness.

Therefore, the most prudent course of action was to refrain from taking sides.

Even so, they remained unable to descend to the Lower Realm at the earliest opportunity.

At this crucial juncture, Empress Changxi initiated an action.

A colossal hand emerged from the Empress Palace, traversing the Ninth Layer Heaven and striking directly at the largest Heavenly Domain Gate, aiming to shatter it open.

Simultaneously, from the depths of the Heavenly Domain, another immense hand thrust forth—gaunt and desiccated, resembling the palm of a mummified corpse—tearing through the sky to meet the hand emanating from the Empress Palace.

Boom!

The Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heavenly Domain shuddered violently from the impact.

Yet, the residual energies from that clash caused all the Heavenly Domain Gates within the Thirty-Three Heavens to swing open!

One ancient existence after another, residing in the Great Saint Realm, seized this chance to descend into the Lower Realm.

Surprisingly, on the side of the Revenge Lineage, no one emerged to impede their passage.

But as the Great Saints allied with the Double Emperors began their descent, the flames of conflict were rekindled.

It transpired that, from the outset, the Revenge Lineage had specifically targeted the Great Saints loyal to the Double Emperors!

This revelation brought a sense of relief to the other ancient inheritances that had maintained their neutrality, as this outcome prevented them from being caught in the crossfire.

Consequently, only a sparse number of powerhouses descended from the Heavenly Domain to the Lower Realm.

Instead, it was the ancient existences awakening across the various Great Worlds that constituted a more significant contingent.

These formidable individuals also perceived an opportune moment and proceeded directly towards the Emperor Road.

With the Heavenly Domain's forces absent, their chances of ascending the Emperor Road Peak would have been far greater. After all, word had spread about the terrifyingly monstrous geniuses residing in the Heavenly Domain. Some of these prodigies hailed from the Lower Realms, while others were inherent marvels of the Heavenly Domain itself. These exceptional beings had never endured the Heavenly Dao Suppression and could ascend from the outset. This contrasted sharply with cultivators from the Lower Realm, whose paths were inherently obstructed from the beginning. No matter their inherent strength, breaking the Supreme barrier proved impossible. Only unique individuals like Qiao Xinyu, capable of disregarding Heavenly Dao Suppression and continuing their Realm advancements, could progress. Everyone else had to advance incrementally as the Heavenly Dao Suppression gradually lessened. This is precisely why the mention of Heavenly Domain monsters invariably evoked a subconscious assumption of their superiority over beings from the Lower Realm.

Had the Gu Family decided to dispatch Gu Changge to the Heavenly Domain, it was a certainty that he would have already reached the Great Emperor Realm. Yet, the Gu Family refrained from doing so, stemming from their distrust of the Double Emperors. The emergence of an Immortal Body would inevitably attract the avaricious attention of countless individuals. As a Longevity Family, they naturally possessed a plethora of adversaries who would undoubtedly focus their gaze upon Gu Changge. The Gu Family dared not risk the disposition of the Double Emperors; should they choose to eliminate Gu Changge, no power in the Heavenly Domain could intervene! Conversely, remaining in the Lower Realm offered a comparatively safer haven. This fundamental principle underscored why numerous factions preferred to shield their clan's geniuses rather than expose them to the Heavenly Domain.

At this precise juncture.

Upon the Three Thousand Emperor Paths, the trials of April had dispatched countless souls to the Netherworld, yet they also bestowed upon the survivors a profound sublimation and transformation.

An additional two months elapsed. It had now been half a year since the Emperor Road's inception. One after another, powerhouses in the Great Saint Realm had largely progressed to the latter stages of the Emperor Road. The Kill Emperor Road.

Someone had already attained its terminus. It was an enigmatic woman, bearing three blades upon her back, clad in a black robe and shrouded by a black veiled hat. By the time she reached the end of the Kill Emperor Road, the killing intent radiating from this mysterious woman had coalesced into something akin to an Asura Purgatory, exuding an aura of extreme dread. A closer examination revealed that above her trio of blades, a fourth blade seemed on the verge of manifestation.

The mysterious woman slightly tilted her head, her gaze fixed upon the towering Divine Mountain at the end. Before her lay a expanse of pristine white steps. In total, there were precisely nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps.

"If I ascend to the summit, I shall behold the Peak of the Emperor Road of the Xuanhuang Great World?" The woman murmured softly, a faint smile gracing her otherwise cold visage. This woman was none other than Qiao Xinyu.

Qiao Xinyu did not immediately commence her ascent. Instead, she gracefully leaped onto a Primordial Chaos Stone situated above the Emperor Road, assuming a cross-legged posture as if awaiting someone's arrival.

Three days later, a defiant youth, dressed in a short shirt and shorts, with a cascade of unruly, long fluffy hair flowing behind him, arrived with ostentatious swagger. He sported a wide grin, baring his fangs, with a vicious glint in his eyes. At this moment, he abruptly halted, craning his neck to observe Qiao Xinyu perched atop the Primordial Chaos Stone. His smile faltered, and he ran a hand through his hair in mild exasperation, declaring, "You win."

Qiao Xinyu opened her eyes, cast a downward glance at the East Desolate Wolf, then effortlessly descended to the ground. Without looking back, she proceeded towards the mountaintop, stating with indifference, "Do not keep Emperor Ye waiting for an extended period." The East Desolate Wolf watched Qiao Xinyu's retreating figure, and for the first time, he refrained from uttering a sarcastic retort. The reason was quite simple: on the Kill Emperor Road, he had narrowly escaped a multitude of perilous situations. Had it not been for Qiao Xinyu's timely assistance, he would undoubtedly have perished, forfeiting any chance to subsequently defeat Gu Changfeng.
