The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 2092 - 2089: Time Disk

A year’s time.

Passed in the blink of an eye.

Qiankun Ancestor and Kuang Nu stood guard by Ye Xuan’s side, helping him get rid of many enemies.

Anyone able to reach this place was basically a peerless powerhouse of the Great Saint Realm.

Upon seeing the treasures around Ye Xuan, they naturally grew covetous and tried to seize them, but most were beaten back by Qiankun Ancestor and Kuang Nu.

When he was bored, Kuang Nu even slaughtered several of them for fun, drawing constant scolding from the little black‑clothed girl.

Qiankun Ancestor kept rolling his eyes, speechless.

Kuang Nu, however, said blandly, "In such a long life, you’ve got to find some fun, no? What if we just stay stuck here like this; nobody can say how long we’ll live."

Hearing this, Qiankun Ancestor lost the mood to bicker with Kuang Nu and instead looked at his master Ye Xuan with some worry.

They could all clearly feel that the Black Abyss was undergoing some kind of change.

Having come to the Black Abyss before, Qiankun Ancestor naturally knew very well that this was a sign of the Black Abyss closing.

The Black Abyss closing.

It didn’t mean the entrance to the Black Abyss would vanish.

The Black Abyss had always existed in Daozhou; the word "closing" was only in contrast to when the Black Abyss was "open."

Because when the Black Abyss was in a closed state, if anyone forced their way in, that was the same as courting death.

Just like Emperor of Painting earlier, who barged in when the Black Abyss was closed and ultimately fell within.

Whereas before the Black Abyss opened, those of the Great Saint Realm could enter this place and even seek opportunities.

Once the Black Abyss closed, the chaotic currents of space-time within would become terrifying beyond measure.

Whether God Sealer or Great Emperor, they would all be greatly affected.

Even without Heavenly Dao Suppression here, they would still be crushed by the Forbidden Power of the Black Abyss.

Feeling the Black Abyss gradually shutting, and with no one else entering anymore, Qiankun Ancestor couldn’t help growing anxious.

If the master failed, they would have no choice but to try and break out of the Black Abyss.

Of course, that worry was only slight.

Qiankun Ancestor believed in his master.

The master would definitely manage it and take them back to the later generations.

All he needed was time.

"What if the master fails?"

At this critical juncture, the little black‑clothed girl suddenly blurted this out.

Though she really didn’t want to ask, she still did.

Qiankun Ancestor immediately glared and said, "Don’t talk nonsense. The master can’t fail."

The little black‑clothed girl pouted, a bit upset. "I said if."

"There is no if."

Qiankun Ancestor said it with iron certainty.

The little black‑clothed girl curled her lips. "Tch!"

Kuang Nu glanced at the little black‑clothed girl, then at Ye Xuan, who had been sitting motionless in meditation for nearly a year, and rasped, "If that really happens, you and Emperor Ye will live to see the later generations. Dog Qiankun and I will definitely die."

This time, Qiankun Ancestor, for once, didn’t refute Kuang Nu, because he knew Kuang Nu was right.

The master was the Undying Night Emperor, a Forbidden Land God; even if the Black Abyss closed, he would still find a way to survive.

And the little black‑clothed girl’s true body was the God‑beating Stone; in the end she could return to her body and fall into slumber, thereby evading the devouring of the Black Abyss’s Forbidden Power.

But Kuang Nu and Qiankun Ancestor could not.

The two of them knew very clearly that at most, at most, they could only live one more lifetime.

If they couldn’t leave the Black Abyss, they were doomed to die.

"Big Brother will die too?"

The little black‑clothed girl looked at Qiankun Ancestor, her eyes suddenly reddening.

Qiankun Ancestor had originally wanted to crack a joke, but seeing her like this, he couldn’t bear to.

He reached out and rubbed the little black‑clothed girl’s cheek with a finger, smiling as he said, "You’re an Innate Divine Being; you naturally know that in this world no one can truly be undying..."

"Er."

Qiankun Ancestor thought about it and felt that wasn’t quite right, so he added, "Apart from the master, no one can truly be undying. In the future you’ll die too."

"So I’m definitely going to die someday."

Qiankun Ancestor was rather free and easy, smiling as he said, "This life of mine is one I’m content with. To have followed the master and witnessed all sorts of wonders across the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds—I’ve no regrets."

"If I really die, then you follow the master in my place and take a look at the magnificent rivers and mountains of the later generations."

Qiankun Ancestor looked at the little black‑clothed girl, uncharacteristically solemn.

Hearing his words, the rims of the little black‑clothed girl’s eyes grew even redder.

Watching this brother‑and‑sister pair, Kuang Nu curled his lip and said, "Two stupid dogs."

"Who are you calling a stupid dog?"

Qiankun Ancestor and the little black‑clothed girl spoke in unison.

Kuang Nu froze for a moment; he’d been about to retort, "Stupid dog, I’m calling you," but then realized something was off, so he just sneered, "You two really are of one mind, brother and sister."

In the days that followed, the few of them went back to their bickering.

At its worst, Kuang Nu and Qiankun Ancestor nearly came to blows.

But thinking of how Ye Xuan was still in seclusion, they held back and agreed that once the master emerged and they returned to the later generations, they had to properly have a big fight.

Time flowed by slowly.

The situation grew more pressing.

The Forbidden Power within the Black Abyss was roaring unceasingly.

Kuang Nu and Qiankun Ancestor stopped arguing, their expressions turning extremely grave.

The Black Abyss had completely closed!

Just as the two were about to carry Ye Xuan and force a breakout, they sensed a change in Ye Xuan’s aura.

"Master?"

Qiankun Ancestor looked at Ye Xuan and saw that Ye Xuan had already opened his eyes.

At that same instant, Ye Xuan’s aura surged straight into the Ninth Layer of the Great Saint Realm, then directly broke through the Great Saint Realm and stepped into the Quasi‑Emperor Realm.

Right after that, he moved straight into the Peak of the Quasi‑Emperor Realm, only a hair’s breadth away from the Great Emperor.

That scene.

Left the little black‑clothed girl utterly dumbfounded.

Kuang Nu and Qiankun Ancestor, however, weren’t particularly surprised.

Because they had seen how terrifying Ye Xuan had been at his peak.

Methods like this were nothing more than a casual display.

Ye Xuan let out a long breath of turbid air; feeling his own changes, it seemed as if nothing had changed.

But in truth Ye Xuan knew very well.

Over this year, he had already obtained the Heavenly Time Immortal Body, and had even created within the Primordial Hongmeng Origin World a Wan Xiang body possessing the Heavenly Time Immortal Body.

As for the Heavenly Time Immortal Body obtained by his main body, it had been turned into nourishment for the Taoist Body.

This was why, the moment Ye Xuan opened his eyes, his aura exploded straight to the Peak of the Quasi‑Emperor Realm.

The nourishment from a Great Success Immortal Body—how could it be mundane?

"It’s time to go back."

Ye Xuan said softly.

At these words, Qiankun Ancestor and the little black‑clothed girl both cheered aloud.

Kuang Nu also let out a small sigh of relief.

Though he did not fear death, being trapped to death in this Ancient Era would indeed be suffocating.

He still had grand ambitions yet unfulfilled!

Ye Xuan tossed the black grinding disk in his hand.

Or rather, no.

The Time Disk!

This was the name of the Immortal Treasure belonging to the Heavenly Time Immortal Body.

The Time Disk rose into the air, and the Taixu Pearl upon it suddenly began to spin.

In that moment, the closing speed of the Black Abyss seemed to continually slow.

At the same time, beneath the Time Disk, a corporeal figure faintly emerged.

It was none other than Emperor Hua’s Corpse!
