The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 2188 - 2185: The Youth Who Observed Mortals
Previously on The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor...
Silence lasted for a long while.
Ye Xuan looked at the unchanged youthful face of the Mortal Emperor and smiled slightly, "You once said, your only wish was not to see those things, to brandish a sword and enter the world."
"Yet even after you became an Emperor, you never realized this wish."
...
Heitian Guanfan.
A completely ordinary bloodline of the Black Sky Clan.
He did not possess the terrifying Black Sky Demon God Bloodline like those peerless talents of the Black Sky Clan.
His bloodline was very common, even the fundamental Karma Dao of the Black Sky Clan seemed difficult for him to grasp.
Thus, his childhood within the Black Sky Clan was not happy.
He liked to sit alone and daydream.
Sometimes even his parents thought this child was probably a waste and turned to have another son.
His brother had high talent.
It was the Black Sky Demon God Bloodline.
And because of this, someone like Heitian Guanfan, who showed no potential, naturally became what they called a discard, and no one cared about him.
Fortunately, his parents weren’t entirely heartless, at least they gave him food to eat.
No one cared what he did.
With a highly talented brother, Heitian Guanfan no longer suffered bullying.
But ridicule was inevitable.
Heitian Guanfan’s brother, although indifferent to his ordinary brother, did not express dislike, only estrangement.
Parents also seemed reluctant to let the brothers interact, so they rarely met.
Add to this, the remarkable potential of Heitian Guanfan’s brother caught the attention of the Black Sky Demon Palace, even peerless experts personally came to guide him.
Heitian Guanfan’s brother’s path of cultivation progressed at lightning speed.
Not to mention peers, even the older generation could only watch in admiration.
That day.
Heitian Guanfan approached his brother and told him not to continue breaking through, or else he’d suffer.
He didn’t specify what exactly.
Heitian Guanfan’s brother heard this and regarded it as jealousy from his brother, so he didn’t take it seriously.
But after he continued to break through, his cultivation suddenly plummeted uncontrollably, blood streamed from his seven orifices, nearly causing him to fall into demonic path.
Once he recovered, the first thing he did was seek out his brother to ask how he knew.
Heitian Guanfan shook his head and said he was too eager for success.
The clever younger brother quickly realized his brother harbored secrets.
So, against their parents’ wishes, he decisively chose to live with Heitian Guanfan.
The two brothers seemed deeply bonded.
One day, Heitian Guanfan’s brother approached their parents, claiming his brother’s eyes could see through many things, and he wanted that ability.
With those eyes and his unrivaled talent, he could become the strongest in Black Sky Clan history.
Without hesitation, their parents agreed.
They schemed to trick Heitian Guanfan into attending a family gathering, then poisoned the food and wine.
From beginning to end, Heitian Guanfan remained calm.
He ate the poisoned food, drank the poisoned wine.
Smiling, he went to his death.
Perhaps on that day, Heitian Guanfan’s heart died.
What kind of family was this?
Heartless, but only to him.
To his brother, they were exceedingly compassionate.
Seeing Heitian Guanfan’s composure, his brother inexplicably felt sad.
But the parents were extremely excited, ready to gouge out Heitian Guanfan’s eyes.
That day.
An eerie humanoid monster enshrouded in black air appeared out of nowhere, suppressing everyone present, rendering them immobile.
The strange humanoid monster asked calmly, "Do you regret it?"
Heitian Guanfan, without opening his eyes, shook his head slightly, "There’s nothing to regret."
The strange humanoid monster glanced over those people, then carried Heitian Guanfan away.
After Heitian Guanfan’s departure, his brother lost his talent, and the family’s glory vanished into thin air.
Those they offended while on the rise delivered ruthless revenge as the family declined.
Heitian Guanfan watched it all happen.
But seeing the family’s downfall, he turned to the strange humanoid monster and asked, "Master, was I wrong?"
Actually, from birth, he hid his talent.
His talent was more astonishing than the Black Sky Demon God Bloodline.
His eyes could see so much.
But he purposefully made himself appear very ordinary.
His brother’s talent was actually altered with help from his master.
But in the end, those who should have been closest tried to take what was his.
It ultimately led to this outcome.
The strange humanoid monster, none other than the Undying Night Emperor.
Hearing Heitian Guanfan’s question, the Undying Night Emperor replied calmly, "Didn’t you say you don’t regret it?"
Heitian Guanfan touched his heart, felt the pulse of life, and said, "My heart is calm, indeed no regrets, it allowed me to see things I originally couldn’t."
The Undying Night Emperor nodded, then took Heitian Guanfan away from the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld, heading toward the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, waging war on forbidden lands.
When Heitian Guanfan returned to the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld, he had become an invincible Great Emperor, known as the Mortal Emperor.
He also had an important pact with the Undying Night Emperor.
Yet, just as his eyes had seen, the future was ever-changing, immune to true answers.
Plans never kept up with changes.
The Mortal Emperor fell.
His body hung in the depths of Black Nether Corpse Land, unknown to anyone.
...
Ye Xuan hoisted Heitian Guanfan’s body, just as he had carried him out of the family back then.
With a leap, he was ready to leave this place.
Boom!
But the moment he left the Divine Palace.
The tightly shut gate of the palace suddenly exploded.
A terrifying surge of black air followed, turning into a massive hand reaching for Ye Xuan!
Ye Xuan turned, his gaze indifferent.
Boom!
Equally, a jet-black hand burst forth from Ye Xuan’s body.
The two hands collided fiercely in the void!
Dong————
The void quaked.
Many stars in that river of stars shattered in that instant.
The black hand that flew from the Divine Palace Gate recoiled as if shocked.
Subsequently, the palace gate closed again.
Ye Xuan watched the scene, no longer hurried to leave, but instead controlled the Immortal Profound Power to continue attacking.
Boom!
A palm struck fiercely against the Divine Palace Gate, causing a massive tremor.
But the gate remained shut.
Ye Xuan was not impatient, continuously striking the gate with a dark hand formed by the Immortal Profound Power.
The Divine Palace Gate resounded with booming noises, the entire palace teetered.
Bang————
Finally, with an explosive sound, the Divine Palace Gate, overwhelmed, was shattered by the dark hand.
Dust flew everywhere.
Inside the palace, it was pitch-black.
Nothing could be seen.
Ye Xuan squinted slightly and flew straight towards the palace.
