The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 2120 - 2117: Shattering the Heavenly Pool

————

Chaoyuan Heavenly Pond.

As the most renowned place in Chaoyuan Heaven, this location is favored by many cultivators.

The spiritual energy here far surpasses that of other places, but for some unknown reason, no one has ever founded a Sect or Sacred Land here.

It seems that a terrifying forbidden power exists here, blocking all cultivators of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Therefore, by the pond, cultivators are seldom seen.

Even if some come to enjoy the scenery, they leave not long after.

At this moment, Ye Xuan stands on the back of the Heavenly Phoenix Emperor, gazing at the heavenly pond, his expression somewhat dazed.

As if he is reminiscing about something.

The Qiankun Ancestor and Kuang Nu, upon seeing this, do not interrupt but wait silently.

Just now, Ning Shenji had come to seek Emperor Ye.

But Emperor Ye ordered that no one from the Revenge Lineage should show up.

Not only Nangong Bai from the Black Blade Sect.

Even Qi Changsheng from the Undying Pavilion and others were not allowed to appear.

It seemed intentional to make way for the Double Emperors to meet.

The news of Ye Xuan’s arrival in the Heavenly Domain had already spread through the Heavenly Alliance.

Before long, the people of Emperor Mu’s Heaven and Undying Heaven would know of Ye Xuan’s arrival.

As someone specified by the Double Emperors, they couldn’t ignore it.

Time slowly passed.

Ye Xuan had the Heavenly Phoenix Emperor stop, then walked alone to the heavenly pond, treading along its edge.

The Heavenly Phoenix Emperor, regaining its form, turned into a featherless fowl.

"What’s Emperor Ye up to?"

The featherless fowl was somewhat puzzled, inquiring to the Qiankun Ancestor.

The Qiankun Ancestor shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.

For millions of years, he had been confined in Qiankun Palace, so there were many matters he actually wasn’t aware of.

"Do you know?"

The featherless fowl turned to Kuang Nu.

Although it could sense the terrifying power of these two elders, the fowl was not intimidated at all and was quite familiar with them.

Kuang Nu, however, couldn’t be bothered to look at the featherless fowl.

This made the featherless fowl disdainfully say, "We all work under Emperor Ye, why are you so arrogant?"

Kuang Nu ignored it.

The Qiankun Ancestor sneered, saying, "Don’t mind this guy; that’s just his irritating nature, something I’ve long found distasteful."

The featherless fowl saw that the Qiankun Ancestor was a ’kindred spirit’ and immediately leaned towards him, smiling, "I knew you were straightforward, brother!"

The Qiankun Ancestor naturally responded, "Of course, you can tell at a glance, I’m a frank and straightforward person!"

The featherless fowl wholeheartedly agreed, nodding earnestly, "Honestly, I’m the same way!"

"I’ve noticed that too. Since you’re a phoenix, I’ll call you Brother Phoenix."

"Brother Qiankun!"

"Brother Phoenix!"

"......"

Beside them, Kuang Nu watched the two bonding, his mouth twitching.

He couldn’t fathom what Emperor Ye saw in these two fools; they seemed utterly ridiculous.

Kuang Nu squinted his single eye, gazing at the heavenly pond.

By the pond’s edge, Ye Xuan stood without moving, simply standing there.

At that moment, the fierce sun above the sky shone bright sunlight.

The blazing sunlight bathed Ye Xuan, cloaking him in a layer of golden robes, while also elongating his shadow behind him.

For some reason.

Seeing that scene, Kuang Nu felt something stir.

Emperor Ye...

He must be very lonely.

That feeling, he could relate to some extent.

In the endless ages, there was no one to accompany him.

And Emperor Ye could only watch as familiar faces disappeared into the river of history.

Even though he, who was originally a fearsome Ancestor Armor, had to constantly slumber to escape the erosion of time.

Yet even so.

He would also inevitably head toward his end.

It’s just a matter of time.

Just like the Qiankun Pot.

They would all die.

This life might be their very last life.

And Emperor Ye might continue to exist alongside the river of time.

Rising from the mythical era to the end of time, Emperor Ye would still endure.

Kuang Nu looked at Emperor Ye’s silhouette, silently reflecting.

At this moment.

By the edge of the heavenly pond, Ye Xuan stood there, overlooking the pond’s waters, his gaze drifting.

In the past, when Changxi was very small, he often brought her here.

It can be said.

The Chaoyuan Heavenly Pond witnessed Changxi’s transformation from an ignorant little girl to the unrivaled Empress commanding the world!

Simultaneously.

It witnessed the past Ye Xuan and Changxi.

The two transformed from mentor and student to husband and wife.

For a long time, Ye Xuan believed that for the rest of his life, there would only be Changxi.

Yet the frightening aspect of human nature.

Even he, who had lived for countless ages and witnessed countless treacheries as the Eternal Emperor Master, couldn’t fully articulate.

No.

He understood human nature too well, but trusted Changxi and Mu Yun too much.

So much so, he didn’t notice anything unusual the eve before their betrayal.

Or perhaps...

The means of that nine-colored human shadow were too astonishing, erasing all traces.

It must be noted.

At that time, Ye Xuan was at his peak.

At that time, Ye Xuan was nearly invincible, apart from the Emperor Burial Lord and Old Ghost Liu Tree.

Yet even then, he hadn’t detected the enemy’s presence at all.

Their methods were incredibly terrifying.

If not for the existence of the Time Disk, he wouldn’t have even known of this person’s existence.

Ye Xuan looked at the pond’s waters, slightly lost in thought.

Originally, in the Ghost Great World, when the Heavenly Domain Gate opened, he met Changxi, it was almost certain that those two had indeed betrayed him.

But after seeing that nine-colored human shadow, a slight doubt arose in Ye Xuan’s heart.

This was why he instructed the Revenge Lineage not to appear; he needed to wait here.

Wait for Changxi.

Wait for Mu Yun.

Wait for them to meet him.

Time slowly passed.

Ye Xuan remained standing, staring into the pools, like a statue.

Soon.

A day passed.

Then another night passed.

As dawn broke, dispelling darkness.

Ye Xuan sighed softly, clarity in his eyes.

Though he had largely anticipated this outcome, it wasn’t the result he wanted.

Since that is the case, there’s nothing more to say.

Ye Xuan lightly stomped his foot.

A thunderous explosion.

Like the creation of heaven and earth.

This sudden explosion immediately frightened the Qiankun Ancestor and the featherless fowl, who quickly stood to look at the pond.

"What?!"

The featherless fowl was utterly astonished, "Why did Emperor Ye destroy the heavenly pond?!"

In the distance, the grand and magnificent heavenly pond, the symbol of Chaoyuan Heaven, was at this moment shattering apart.

The water within evaporating rapidly.

White vapor rose.

Clouds and mists billowed magnificently.

With the collapse of the heavenly pond, the vast, boundless spiritual energy surged back into Chaoyuan Heaven.

At this moment.

The whole Chaoyuan Heaven was shaken!
