The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 2076 - 2073: The Emperor of Painting’s Last Work

"Snatch it!"

When everyone saw this, they all rushed up at the first possible moment!

Although they didn’t know why that radiance suddenly changed direction, the sword from just now had already been lost, so they absolutely could not miss this chance again.

After all, no matter how many treasures there were in the Black Abyss, no one knew when they would suddenly be gone.

So before that happened, they had to grab as many as they could.

Because those who had obtained treasures before had already spread the news: every treasure in the Black Abyss contained terrifying Daoist Rhythm, with an indescribable effect on Cultivators of any Realm.

This was also why so many Cultivators shamelessly came here to fight over them.

This kind of mad scramble—if seen by others—was really a bit disgraceful.

But with treasures right in front of them, who still cared about face or no face.

Having the treasure in hand, that was the real face!

Having strength, that was the real face!

Precisely because of this, everyone was going all out to seize it.

"Heh, you even dare snatch my master’s stuff?"

Seeing so many Cultivators charging over, the Qiankun Ancestor immediately grinned.

He didn’t even seem to make any move.

A terrifying pressure suddenly swept out.

In that instant, all the Cultivators were directly frozen in midair, completely unable to move.

"What’s going on!?"

At that, everyone was greatly shocked, scared out of their wits.

The Peak Supreme Realm expert who had obtained the sword earlier had originally thought he would have no chance to compete again, but seeing everyone immobilized at this moment, he didn’t say a word, his figure flashed forward, intending to stop that radiance from shooting toward Ye Xuan.

"The human heart is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant."

Seeing this, Kuang Nu didn’t stay idle; he flicked his finger.

Boom!

The next moment, that Peak Supreme Realm expert instantly scattered like Quicksand.

Only a strand of Divine Soul remained, staring in horror from midair.

With a single strike shattering this man’s body, Kuang Nu slightly hooked his finger, and the Ancient Sword that had fallen into that Peak Supreme Realm expert’s hands earlier dropped into Kuang Nu’s hand at this moment.

Kuang Nu weighed the Ancient Sword in his hand, feeling something strange about it.

Meanwhile, the other streak of radiance also fell into Ye Xuan’s hand at the same time.

It was a Scroll.

Under Ye Xuan’s Mana, the Scroll slowly unfurled.

On that ancient painting, it was a haze of black miasma, as if a child had scribbled all over it.

But for some reason, streams of Daoist Rhythm flowed over that ancient painting, astonishingly intense.

"This is the Emperor of Painting’s work..."

Seeing this ancient painting, Ye Xuan recognized it at a glance.

This was the work of the only Painter who became an Emperor over the ages.

This person was also the only existence among Painters to achieve Emperor.

It was just that his existence did not last long.

Because he had broken into the Black Abyss...

Just like back then when the Ming Jing Great Emperor had forced his way into the Dao Chu Ancient Land.

The terrifying thing about the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions was that even Great Emperor Level existences, once they forced their way in, were highly likely to fall within.

The Emperor of Painting’s goal back then was to depict all things under heaven.

The Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions were also within the Emperor of Painting’s scope of exploration.

And the first he set his sights on was this Earth State Black Abyss.

When he was young, he had traveled the Earth State and seen the wonders of the Black Abyss.

So after becoming Emperor, he intended to paint the Black Abyss first.

At that time, the Black Abyss had not yet opened.

The Emperor of Painting forcibly broke into the Black Abyss.

True to his title, after bearing the Tian Ming, he was invincible under heaven, and with the brush in his hand he forcibly opened the Black Abyss, then charged in, waging a heaven-destroying, earth-annihilating War.

The Forbidden Power in the Black Abyss was constantly shattered under the Emperor of Painting’s brush, utterly unable to stop his steps.

At the time, many peerless experts watched from afar.

Even without personally entering the Black Abyss, they could sense the terrifying might of the Emperor of Painting.

People all thought the Emperor of Painting was about to conquer the Black Abyss, one of the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions.

But not long after he charged in, all commotion disappeared.

The four peerless Emperor Generals who followed the Emperor of Painting planned to go investigate.

Yet with their strength, they couldn’t even enter the Black Abyss, let alone find the Emperor of Painting’s whereabouts.

In the end, the Emperor of Painting vanished within the Black Abyss.

No one ever saw him again.

"So this is the last painting you left behind back then..."

Ye Xuan looked at that scribbled ancient painting and spoke calmly.

He naturally knew who the Emperor of Painting was.

However, this person was not his Disciple.

The two had merely sat and discussed, talking about the Dao of the Painter.

The Emperor of Painting had told him about his desire to paint the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions.

Out of goodwill at the time, Ye Xuan had advised the Emperor of Painting that if he wanted to paint the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions, it would be best to wait for them to open and then enter to paint.

But obviously, the Emperor of Painting didn’t take it to heart.

The first he targeted was this Black Abyss.

Among the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions, the Black Abyss’s level of terror definitely ranked in the top three.

And reality proved just how terrifying the Black Abyss was.

The Emperor of Painting was swallowed by the Black Abyss and never appeared again.

And now, this final painting of the Emperor of Painting had fallen into Ye Xuan’s hands.

"A Great Emperor Immortal Soldier!?"

At this moment, everyone also sensed the terrifying aura on the ancient painting and was instantly shocked.

This was the first time they had ever seen a Great Emperor Immortal Soldier!

They hadn’t expected that this group, who had just arrived, would seize the most precious Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers.

That stirred quite a bit of envy.

Only, after witnessing the methods of the Qiankun Ancestor and Kuang Nu at Ye Xuan’s side, no one dared harbor any crooked thoughts.

Ye Xuan put away the painting and casually tossed it to the Qiankun Ancestor, saying faintly, "Let’s go."

As Ye Xuan took a step, the Qiankun Ancestor and Kuang Nu followed closely behind.

"What are they trying to do?"

The actions of Ye Xuan’s trio drew the attention of the Cultivators present.

Kuang Nu and the Qiankun Ancestor’s moves just now had already shaken everyone to the core.

So naturally, they paid even closer attention to their movements now.

Under the gaze of the masses, Ye Xuan led Kuang Nu and the Qiankun Ancestor in a leap, flying straight toward the Black Abyss!

"Holy shit!"

That scene left the gathered Cultivators dumbfounded; some even directly swore.

"Could they be Great Saint Realm experts?!"

"But this is still an act of courting death!"

"Yeah, so many Great Saints went in before, and we never saw anyone come out."

"......"

For a time, discussions surged.

Ye Xuan didn’t care about any of this.

He brought Kuang Nu and the Qiankun Ancestor, constantly descending.

All around them was endless Darkness.

But within the Darkness, terrifying Daoist Rhythm would occasionally flash into existence.

Before long.

Time and space seemed to fall into stagnation.

Before they could make any move, time sped by at a crazy pace; they felt the Vitality within their bodies continuously draining away, as if pushing them rapidly into old age.

But a moment later, time and space began to reverse, and they returned to the moment they had just entered the Black Abyss.

Over and over again.

As if there were no end.

Even the Qiankun Ancestor, who had already been fully prepared, felt especially uncomfortable at this moment.

This was Kuang Nu’s first time here, and there was a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

Logically, at their level, they could directly cross time and space.

But the Forbidden Power of the Black Abyss forced them to bear all of this, with no way to resist.

And the little black-clad girl sitting on Ye Xuan’s shoulder had already turned into her true form, the God-beating Stone, muttering, "I’m never coming here again in the future..."
