The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 2077 - 2074: Journey to the Black Abyss

The terrifying forbidden power within the Black Abyss made even the little girl in black, an Innate Divine Being, feel an absolute sense of oppression.

Moreover, although she had taken a form for many years, she always appeared as a child, and her entire body was only palm-sized.

It was only because she was an Innate Divine Being; otherwise, her Divine Soul would have been obliterated by the forbidden power of the Black Abyss.

This is why even Great Saint level powerhouses dare not venture into the Black Abyss.

The forbidden power in the Black Abyss harbors too many horrors.

Throughout history, the Black Abyss has swallowed countless lives.

And even though the Black Abyss devours the lives of cultivators, the forbidden power within seemingly rejects these people’s Dao and the things they’ve left behind.

Of course.

Ordinary Saint Realm Dao Weapons, Supreme Dao Weapons, and similar spiritual artifacts, once falling into the Black Abyss, are likely to be corroded by the forbidden power here, destroyed within.

Yet, there are powerful spiritual artifacts that can be preserved within.

And for those, the Black Abyss will throw them out.

This is why so many cultivators wait outside the Black Abyss for treasure hunting.

Every time the Black Abyss opens, it brings about a grand gathering.

But this time, the opening of the Black Abyss was ill-timed, coinciding with the opening of the Emperor Road, and the Great Worlds are in great turmoil.

In this situation, naturally, not many powerhouses arrive at the Black Abyss.

Another reason is that Great Saint level powerhouses choose to enter the Black Abyss directly to explore more secrets.

Those who remain outside the Black Abyss naturally are not very powerful.

Even seeing a Great Sage is rare.

Most Great Sage realm cultivators have already ascended the Emperor Road, while those who haven’t have their own matters to attend to and naturally haven’t come here.

"Master, are we really moving forward..."

The God-beating Stone, transformed from the little girl in black, swayed on Ye Xuan’s shoulder, as if about to fall off, she couldn’t help but ask.

Because in her perception, they were staying in place, not moving at all.

The Qiankun Ancestor crouched beside them, with one hand covering his mouth and the other pulling on Ye Xuan’s coat, his face pale, not speaking.

On the other hand, Kuang Nu appeared very calm.

Even though it was his first time here, Kuang Nu obviously adapted to the forbidden power of the Black Abyss better than the Qiankun Pot.

This is largely related to Kuang Nu’s original body, the Ancestor Armor.

Although Ancestor Armor is a piece of Treasure Armor, it can transform into any form, and was found by Ye Xuan in an ancient ruin.

When found, it was already dilapidated, but with the mystical aura of Ye Xuan, the Ancestor Armor eventually recovered significantly.

Yet, the Kuang Nu transformed from the Ancestor Armor remained a broken man.

The reason he’s referred to as a broken man instead of useless is because Kuang Nu is anything but useless, his power quite exceptional.

He once followed Ye Xuan in battles across numerous forbidden lands.

Later, Ye Xuan temporarily lent the Ancestor Armor to Jiang Yan, the Medicine Heavenly Emperor, to protect his path.

After Jiang Yan’s death, Kuang Nu waited for Ye Xuan in the Ancestor Temple.

Ye Xuan had visited the Ancestor Temple but didn’t take Kuang Nu along, leaving him to wait for the right time.

That wait lasted a long time.

During those endless years, Kuang Nu was nearly obliterated several times, but ultimately persevered.

Although both Kuang Nu and the Qiankun Pot are Sealing God level powerhouses, the corrosion of time cares not for one’s rank.

The Qiankun Pot survived through numerous self-sealing slumbers before enduring to the present.

Kuang Nu naturally underwent the same.

Should Ye Xuan not come in this lifetime, they would both be obliterated by time.

Yet, it is for this reason that Kuang Nu’s power grows increasingly terrifying.

Boom!

Just as the little girl in black spoke.

A golden skeleton abruptly surged upward from below.

No!

It wasn’t the golden skeleton that surged upward, but rather Ye Xuan’s group rapidly falling down.

However, due to the forbidden power of the Black Abyss, they couldn’t sense their descent at all.

"A Great Saint body..."

Upon seeing that golden skeleton, Kuang Nu couldn’t help but mutter.

At a glance, it was evident that the owner of this golden skeleton was definitely of Great Saint level in their lifetime.

Lofty Daoist energy wafted from the golden skeleton.

Unfortunately, the owner of this golden skeleton had been obliterated within the Black Abyss, seemingly forever entombed here.

"Do not touch it."

Ye Xuan gave a reminder.

Kuang Nu instinctively avoided the golden skeleton, somewhat confused.

Though it was a Great Saint body skeleton, it shouldn’t pose a threat to them.

The Qiankun Ancestor saw Kuang Nu’s confusion and was about to mock him, but the forbidden power of the Black Abyss suddenly shifted, causing his face to turn pale and silencing him.

Kuang Nu saw this scene, smirked with disdain.

The Qiankun Ancestor, though grinding his teeth in anger, was helpless.

"The forbidden power of the Black Abyss will not shatter their bones but will plant space-time dark thunder within. Touching it will lead to mutual destruction with the bones."

Ye Xuan patiently explained: "Its power can injure Great Emperors and Sealing Gods."

Upon hearing this, Kuang Nu’s lone eye flashed with a hint of gravitas.

Could such dangers be hidden within?

If he had truly touched that skeleton just now, would it not have caused harm to everyone?

"In fact, outside in the world, it might have no effect, but here in the Black Abyss, with Heavenly Dao Suppression absent, your powers are actually no different than being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao. You can feel this yourself."

Ye Xuan said calmly.

These words left Kuang Nu stunned: "There... is no Heavenly Dao Suppression here?"

But Ye Xuan’s following words solved a doubt in his heart.

"Doesn’t the Emperor Ye get affected?"

Kuang Nu asked curiously.

"Tch!"

Before Ye Xuan could respond, the Qiankun Ancestor, crouching beside Ye Xuan, finally recovered with a mocking face: "Uninformed dog Kuang Nu, our master is unrivaled under heaven, a Forbidden Land God; any forbidden land on this earth is as easy as walking on flat ground before the master..."

He hadn’t finished speaking before the Qiankun Ancestor began to retch.

"I feel like you’re mocking the Emperor Ye, dog Qiankun,"

Kuang Nu laughed, unable to hold back.

Ye Xuan also looked at the Qiankun Ancestor with a strange expression.

The Qiankun Ancestor waved his hand urgently: "Master, urgh!"

"Master!"

"Urgh!"

"Old servant urgh, definitely not urgh!"

"Not what I meant!"

"Urgh!"

The Qiankun Ancestor gagged uncontrollably.

Unable to convey it clearly.

"My silly brother, what a disgrace!"

The little girl in black transformed into her human form, covering her face with her hands, shaking her head repeatedly.

"Alright, just stay still." Ye Xuan shook his head and laughed.

"Hear that, just squat there." Kuang Nu’s lips curled.

The Qiankun Ancestor, glaring furiously at Kuang Nu, reluctantly squatted there, one hand covering, the other tugging on Ye Xuan’s clothes.

Just like when he accompanied Ye Xuan to the Black Abyss during their youth.

The same as before.
