The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 349 - 348: A Pair Under Heaven

Chapter 349: Chapter 348: A Pair Under Heaven

In the disbelieving eyes of the entire Immortal King Hall and Zhu Jiangtao, Ye Xuan easily stepped over the fiftieth rank.

Without any pressure.

As if strolling in a leisurely court!

His effortless demeanor even made it seem unreal.

That’s why Zhu Jiangtao fiercely slapped himself; he simply couldn’t believe that what he was seeing was real!

It was utterly inconceivable!

He was evidently a monster!

Who could perform such a feat?

"Back then, the Sovereign of the Sect only managed to cross forty-three ranks..."

Within the Immortal King Hall, an age-old powerhouse muttered under his breath.

Initially, the Sovereign of the Sect had crossed forty ranks and became the Saint Heir.

At that time, someone specifically made a record.

The Sovereign of the Sect of Immortal King Hall had crossed forty-three ranks.

This had already shaken the entire Immortal King Hall at the time.

It was unimaginable that today, Ye Xuan directly crossed fifty ranks!

A record that hadn’t appeared for over a million years...

Everyone was shocked, including the Sovereign of the Sect in the Immortal King Hall!

"Is my Immortal King Hall about to face another great world conflict?" the Sovereign of the Sect in the Immortal King Hall said excitedly, his eyes flickering with sharp lights.

Although he was still in secluded cultivation, that didn’t prevent him from watching Ye Xuan ascend the Heavenly Ascension Stairs.

"Still going, still going!"

The people of Immortal King Hall were numbed by shock.

After crossing the fiftieth rank, Ye Xuan didn’t stop, instead continuing to move forward!

That scene was shockingly extreme!

In their eyes, the Heavenly Ladder, which was as hard as reaching the heavens, seemed so effortless under Ye Xuan’s feet, as if there was no difficulty at all, which was deeply discouraging.

It was terrifying!

When Ye Xuan crossed the fifty-fifth rank, within the Immortal King Hall, an ancient ancestor awoke slowly, focusing on the Heavenly Ladder with a flicker of astonishment in his eyes the moment he opened his eyes.

"Fifty-five ranks?"

"Doesn’t this equal the achievement of Ancestor Tianheng back in his day?!"

This ancient ancestor had existed for a long time and knew many things.

A million years ago, the Ancestor Tianheng of Immortal King Hall ascended the ladder and directly crossed fifty-five ranks!

That had shocked the entire Immortal King Hall.

Unexpectedly today, another supreme demon capable of crossing fifty-five ranks appeared!

"No matter what, we must take this person in and cultivate him!" this ancient ancestor of the Immortal King Hall said secretly.

"Nine is the extreme number, this ninety thousand years of the End of Dharma Era should also come to an end..."

Before he had finished speaking, this ancient ancestor suddenly changed his expression, exclaimed in shock:

"Sixty ranks?!"

Ye Xuan was seen slowly ascending to the sixtieth rank, continuing to climb without stopping.

At this moment, the hearts of everyone seemed to twitch fiercely.

Sixty ranks...

What level of monstrous demon was this?!

To think, even the invincible Ancestor Tianheng a million years ago had only crossed fifty-five ranks.

Today, Ye Xuan forcefully crossed sixty ranks!

This had completely shattered the record of Ancestor Tianheng and created his own legend!

No one spoke, all were fixated on Ye Xuan’s figure, tense to the extreme.

They now had no thoughts left, they only wanted to see how far Ye Xuan could go.

They were completely numbed by shock.

If this continued, their hearts might stop.

"Sixty-one."

"Sixty-two."

"Sixty-three."

...

"Seventy!"

"Seventy-one"

...

Boom————

As Ye Xuan kept moving forward, one by one, the ancient beings in slumber within the Immortal King Hall started awakening, all feeling a tremor.

"What?!"

"Someone crossed the seventy-step Heavenly Ladder and is progressing towards eighty?!"

As they woke up, they immediately focused their gaze on Ye Xuan.

When they saw Ye Xuan continuing to advance, they were tremendously shocked.

Even with their discerning eyes, they saw nearly demonic potential in Ye Xuan!

It was too terrifying!

"Eighty ranks, this is probably something only the two founders who became emperors from my Immortal King Palace, as well as the ancestral founder who established Immortal King Palace, have ever crossed!"

Ancient presences secretly gasped in amazement.

Eighty ranks, even they dared not imagine.

But this suddenly emerging fellow was actually progressing towards eighty ranks, and looking at his leisurely manner, Su Hu soon would reach the eightieth rank.

They were all staring intently at Ye Xuan.

At this moment, Zhu Jiangtao, beside the Heavenly Ladder, had already collapsed to the ground, not even daring to look anymore.

"What kind of existence did I just witness...?"

Zhu Jiangtao’s mind was in utter chaos, not from fear, but from shock!

The power of Ye Xuan exceeded his imagination.

The seemingly insurmountable Heavenly Ladder, in Ye Xuan’s eyes, was as easy as walking on flat ground, presenting no difficulty whatsoever.

This left Zhu Jiangtao utterly astonished.

"Eighty steps!"

Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone from the Immortal King Hall, Ye Xuan had already surpassed eighty steps!

Boom————

It was also at this moment that each ancient being within the Immortal King Hall was thoroughly startled.

"We must recruit this child into the Immortal King Hall at all costs!"

Without any hesitation, one of the oldest ancestors awoke and sent someone...

No, wait!

He went personally.

Because in Ye Xuan, they saw talent like never before.

Eighty steps...

What did this imply?

No one knew better than him!

It meant that a terrifying genius who was destined to ascend to the Emperor Position was about to descend upon the Immortal King Hall!

Not just this ancestor, all the powerhouses of the Immortal King Hall, all the top-tier powerhouses.

Whether it be Elders, Protectors, the Sovereign of the Sect, or even those of ancestral rank, all had flown down from the Immortal King Mountain to appear beside the Heavenly Ladder!

Boom boom————

The mighty breaths surged out, shaking heaven and earth as if the most powerful beings in the world had descended upon this place, evoking awe in everyone!

It was terrifying!

Terrifying power continued to spread, yet it did not affect the Heavenly Ladder.

They all knew well that a mighty force existed within the Heavenly Ladder, so powerful that even they could not interfere with this mysterious force!

"Eh?!"

Zhu Jiangtao, limp on the ground, suddenly noticed many powerful beings appearing out of nowhere.

Those beings, whom he had never seen before, each emanated a breath of power that brought him face-to-face with the ultimate terror in the world!

"This is..."

"The supreme powerhouses of the Immortal King Hall!"

Almost instantly, Zhu Jiangtao realized.

He looked in fear and reverence at the many strong figures of the Immortal King Hall, quickly turned over, prostrated on the ground, and respectfully said, "Zhu Jiangtao, a menial servant of the Immortal King Hall, pays respects to all the lords!"

The respect was to the utmost.

This Valley Master of the Immortal King Valley, who could summon wind and rain in the outside world, now lay prostrate like a loyal old dog.

But at this moment, everyone in the Immortal King Hall had their eyes on Ye Xuan, and who had the mind to care about a Zhu Jiangtao!

"Eighty-three now!"

Someone whispered.

Ye Xuan continued to advance, and in the blink of an eye, he had already reached eighty-three steps.

Astonishment.

Only boundless astonishment filled their hearts.

Apart from astonishment, there was still astonishment!

"Will he break ninety?"

Someone asked in a low voice.

But it wasn’t really a question, but more a sense of inner anticipation.

They wanted to witness a legend!

They wanted to witness a myth!

It was clear to anyone with eyes that Ye Xuan still had plenty of strength left...

No!

To be precise, it seemed that from beginning to end, he hadn’t exerted much effort at all, as if he were merely taking a stroll.

"Ninety steps, not even those two ancestors who ascended to the Emperor Position had ever crossed them..." the oldest ancestor felt an intense nervousness within him.

In the ancient records of the Immortal King Hall, only one person had truly crossed ninety steps.

Actually, no.

It was two people.

One was naturally the founding ancestor of the Immortal King Hall, who had crossed ninety-nine steps to reach the end of the Heavenly Ladder and stand unrivaled!

The other, however, was a very mysterious being.

He seemed to exist in every era, yet also seemed to have never existed at all.

But this oldest ancestor knew well that this person was real.

Because the Immortal King Hall had dealt with this person more than once.

From the information obtained through various channels, he somewhat knew that this person was sometimes called the Forbidden Land God, also known as the Eternal Demon.

But most often, he was called... the Undying Night Emperor!

In usual dealings, they would call him Emperor Ye.

These were the only two in history who had reached the end of the Heavenly Ladder.

Could today witness the emergence of a third?!
