The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 2326: Tick Tock
Previously on The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor...
Gan Feng waved his hand with a cheerful smile, saying: “You two have come from afar, this kindness will be remembered by the Xuanwu Great World, please follow me.”
After saying that, Gan Feng made a gesture of invitation.
Qiao Xinyu and Tong Wuji clasped their hands.
The three left together.
On the way.
Only then did Gan Feng ask: “Were you sent by Nangong Bai, the leader?”
Qiao Xinyu and Tong Wuji both shook their heads.
“Then who?”
Gan Feng was somewhat surprised: “Lord Qin Qi, the Left Envoy of the Black Blade Sect?”
Tong Wuji still shook his head, remaining silent.
Qiao Xinyu smiled slightly and said: “To be honest, we were sent by Emperor Ye.”
“Emperor Ye!?”
Upon hearing this, Gan Feng was utterly shocked.
Who is Emperor Ye?
There is only one.
Undying Night Emperor!
The overall leader of the Revenge Lineage’s Thirteen Sects.
Single-handedly created the Revenge Lineage that traverses the ages!
He actually sent people here!
Gan Feng gasped before calming down, but the excitement on his face was still evident: “Is this matter very important to Emperor Ye?”
Qiao Xinyu nodded gently and said: “Very important.”
Gan Feng’s expression became solemn as he spoke in a deep voice: “Then this battle will require the two of you to put in effort.”
Though the Xuanwu Great World has Wu Tiangang, the leader of the Xuanwu Hall, overseeing it, the disciples of Xuanwu Hall are slightly inadequate in terms of killing compared to the Black Blade Sect, which teeters on the edge.
Despite only two people, Qiao Xinyu and Tong Wuji, coming for the time being, he understood that since Emperor Ye considers this matter important, the Black Blade Sect, White Tiger Hall, and Asura Hall—the Trident of the Revenge Lineage—would certainly emerge.
As time passed, a sense of urgency gradually emerged in the Xuanwu Great World.
Surrounding major worlds also temporarily forged alliances to jointly resist the oppression from the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld.
While preparations were underway across the realms, no one knew.
The first battle had already begun quietly.
Dimension World of the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld.
One of the two Forbidden Lands—the Nine Heavens Demon Pool.
Endless demonic qi was constantly churning.
But because Ye Xuan had not set foot there, the demonic qi within the Nine Heavens Demon Pool had not transformed into monsters to attack Ye Xuan.
Back when Ye Xuan arrived at the Nine Heavens Demon Pool, he was attacked by undead monsters formed from the demonic qi within the pool, and Ye Xuan swept the demonic qi in the Nine Heavens Demon Pool away with Taichu Dao Light.
At that time, he also saw the true nature of the Nine Heavens Demon Pool, which was a drop of black tears.
Legend has it these are tears left by a deity.
The exact origin is unknown.
At this moment.
There exists an ancient River of Death between Ye Xuan and the Nine Heavens Demon Pool.
Flowing gently.
It seems like a godly river with no beginning and no end.
Yet within that divine river, there is endless death and silent annihilation.
Upstream of the River of Death, silhouettes emerge, some standing proudly at the pinnacle of eras, others asserting themselves throughout history, but when they reach downstream, they all turn into a handful of yellow soil.
This is the fate of everything in the world.
Death.
A very taboo word.
Yet nothing in the world can escape these two words.
This is the destination of everything.
No matter how outstanding you are.
In the end, it is hard to escape death.
Whether sooner or later.
Everyone must die.
Yet the River of Death enables people to reach the end ahead of time.
Ye Xuan created the River of Death; he sits cross-legged on the opposite bank, closing his eyes to rest, waiting for the people of the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld to seek death.
Buzz————
Time passed slowly.
The Luotian Grand Jiao was proceeding perfectly.
The Heavenly Dao Suppression was gently being unsealed.
The Black Sky Ancient Netherworld was eagerly stirring.
In the Heavenly Domain, the Revenge Lineage was already eager.
Beyond All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.
The Double Emperors, like unrivaled suns, coldly overlook the changes in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.
Emperors fear nothing.
They disregard everything.
It’s difficult for anything in the world to stir their emotions.
For those who become emperors, what tribulations have they not experienced?
They are just one step away from the ultimate peak, needing only to bear the Heavenly Mandate.
And next will be their greatest opportunity.
It’s also their opportunity to kill their master again.
Of course, as far as Emperor Mu is concerned, he couldn’t be bothered to get involved.
After all, that sickly sister, Changxi, is a monster; she clearly deeply loves her master, yet insists on personally killing her master.
She even explicitly said not to let him interfere, or she will trouble him.
What kind of reasoning is this?
Based on the logic of not fighting with fools, Emperor Mu endured.
When the time comes, Sister Changxi kills the master, and he takes the credit.
Achieving perfection in both.
“The Revenge Lineage, huh, I wonder what level your true foundation has reached.”
Mu Yun’s lips curled into a playful smile, his eyes calm, with clouds spreading beneath him.
Under Mu Yun’s feet, there are only clouds.
On the other side.
Empress Changxi, dressed in white, sat cross-legged in the void, in front of her was a black table. She lay lazily on the table, resting her head on her left arm, with one eye closed, the other open.
The open eye was listless.
She was distracted.
Her right hand was fidgeting with an ancient coin on the black table.
It was a Golden Essence Copper Coin.
Or rather… an Ancient Void Coin.
A coin that should only exist in the Empty Ancient City.
Buzz buzz buzz————
Under Empress Changxi’s fidgeting, the Ancient Void Coin spun and fell on the table.
The sound was very pleasant.
When the coin was about to finish spinning and lacked energy, the sound frequency was at its fastest.
And when it settled down.
The sparkle returned to Empress Changxi’s open eye.
She extended her supple, flawless hand, seizing the Ancient Void Coin with her white jade fingers, softly muttering: “It’s still the same hexagram.”
A faint trace of sadness appeared on her flawless and exquisite face.
She clenched the Ancient Void Coin, sat straight, and gazed into the elliptical All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.
In Empress Changxi’s eyes.
Changes in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds were very significant at that moment.
Ivy immortal qi enshrouded the Heavenly Domain above.
Currently evolving somehow.
The colorful dots in the middle are All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.
While below, black qi swirled, resembling a Fallen Demon.
That is the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld.
And at this moment.
Heavenly Domain’s immortal qi is extending towards All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.
The Black Sky Ancient Netherworld’s black qi is also continuously eroding.
Like black and white, wanting to become a Tai Chi Diagram.
But within that endless black qi, there is an even darker force, standing there like an eternal, indestructible rock.
“Brother Night Emperor.”
Empress Changxi’s gaze was dreamy.
Distant Mu Yun heard this voice and shuddered.
The sickly sister is at it again.
Better stay away.
Mu Yun willed it, and the clouds beneath him instantly moved millions of miles away.
“Faster.”
Mu Yun intently watched the changes in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, mumbling to himself.
He was beyond eager.
Even as he watched his Emperor Mu’s Palace being destroyed, he knew it didn’t really matter.
He will ultimately stand at the peak.
No,.
Even higher than the peak.
Surpassing the peak of his master Undying Night Emperor!
Just thinking about it was thrilling.
That old immortal guy had been pressing on his head for too long.
So long that he could hardly breathe.
It’s time to end it all!
(ps: This is the most critical storyline of the book recently, Old Ghost’s slower updates, actually have some influence. I suggest everyone save and read in one go for a better reading experience. Purely chasing updates might feel underwhelming; in fact, plot advancement has quickened due to Old Ghost’s recent updates. Be patient, once Old Ghost finishes getting married and sorts everything out, normal updates will resume.)
