The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 787 - 784: Submission

Chapter 787: Chapter 784: Submission

Roar————

At that moment, a deafening roar that shook heaven and earth abruptly rose, causing Ye Xuan’s ears to go deaf and blood to pour ceaselessly from them.

The terrifying sound wave spread rapidly, visible to the naked eye, shattering the void for millions of miles!

Countless cultivators bled profusely at that instant.

Even the powerhouses from the Six Demon Sect were grievously injured by the shock.

Di Wu’ai, the Demon Emperor, grunted and nearly fainted from the concussion.

Bang————

Simultaneously, a shadow fell from the distant horizon like a falling star, crashing down in front of Ye Xuan and onto the Six Emperors Locking Yang Map, the sound of bones cracking echoing clearly.

The East Desolate Wolf, baring his teeth in a grimace, soaked in blood, eyes filled with ruthless malice, spoke, "This old creature does have some skill."

Boom————

As the East Desolate Wolf spoke, a colossal round hole appeared in the sky dome, followed by the descent of an ancient, bunny-like beast of ferocious aspect.

This was the Guardian God of the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect — the Ancient Divine Hou!

An unparalleled being capable of roaring down the sun and moon!

Had the East Desolate Wolf of his prime been here, perhaps he might have fought it, but the heavily injured East Desolate Wolf of now struggled to hold on for so long.

Other beings would have likely had their souls shattered by a single roar.

The Ancient Divine Hou descended with blood-red pupils sweeping over Ye Xuan, then Zhongxuan Mountain, bristling with murderous intent.

"You... destroyed the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect?!"

The Ancient Divine Hou observed Ye Xuan, its aged voice rising.

Every word it spoke resonated with the Power of Laws, overwhelming and unbearable.

The Demon Emperor, Wu Ai, retreated far away with Xiong Tun and others.

Qiao Xinyu’s eyes narrowed, her hand gripping the handle of Black Saber once more.

Ye Xuan raised his head to look at the not-so-distant Ancient Divine Hou, wiped the blood from his ear, and said calmly, "You’re a bit noisy."

The Ancient Divine Hou glared at Ye Xuan, roaring again, summoning back the Blood Sun that had entered Ye Xuan’s hand, saying solemnly, "Although the times have changed and I no longer recognize the people of the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect, I once fought shoulder to shoulder with their ancestors. Today, since you’ve annihilated them, I must destroy you!"

As it spoke, an aura of terrifying ferocity spread.

"My lord..." Qiao Xinyu whispered, ready to take action.

Ye Xuan raised his hand to stop her, calmly facing the Ancient Divine Hou with a glimpse of two ancient symbols in his eyes. He stared at the Divine Hou and said indifferently, "I’ve heard these words too many times..."

"Emperor?!" The Ancient Divine Hou’s gaze sharpened. It halted its movement, scrutinizing Ye Xuan more closely.

Upon closer inspection, the Ancient Divine Hou felt as if it was gazing into a bottomless abyss.

This youth was entirely inscrutable to him.

Boom!

The moment the Ancient Divine Hou locked eyes with Ye Xuan, it seemed as if all the forces in the world stalled.

The two of them appeared to be in a deep cosmic starry sky, where the star river was boundless and the stars shone brilliantly.

In this cosmic starry sky, even the Ancient Divine Hou, with its thousand-foot-tall body, seemed as insignificant as dust.

On the other hand, Ye Xuan’s figure rose continuously.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a towering Divine Emperor, looking down upon the Ancient Divine Hou.

The Ancient Divine Hou’s blood pupils dilated, its mouth agape, disbelieving.

This...

In the starry sky, numerous stars tumbled.

It was as if the sky was changing in an instant; the countless stars arranged themselves into ancient characters of varying sizes.

Night!

The myriad of "Night" characters filled the vast cosmos, leaving the Ancient Divine Hou breathless.

At that moment, with his soul in shock and a sense of horror, he couldn’t believe it and murmured, "Night..."

"Emperor Ye..."

"You’re... the Undying Night Emperor?!"

The Ancient Divine Hou looked up at the horrifying figure, its eyes filled with shock.

As a being that had lived for more than three million years, it had heard countless legends and had been close to them.

But what imprinted in his memory deepest were those four words—The Undying Night Emperor.

He had never seen the Undying Night Emperor, but he had heard the legends more than once.

His great ancestor was once an invincible Emperor General under the Blood Sun Emperor, so he had access to many things far beyond common knowledge.

Among them were the legends of the Undying Night Emperor.

As said by the Blood Sun Emperor himself, his greatest regret in life was never having the chance to meet that legendary Undying Night Emperor,

After ascending to the throne of the Great Emperor, the Blood Sun Emperor explored numerous ancient texts and even entered several imperial tombs, where he found an enigmatic ’Ye’ character in several of them.

Just like in some ancient texts, there would also be an inexplicable ’Ye’ character.

This convinced the Blood Sun Emperor that the Undying Night Emperor must have been a peerless being, and he wanted to meet him.

However, throughout his life, he never saw the legendary figure, which became a lifelong regret.

And since the great ancestor of the Divine Hou was an Emperor General under the Blood Sun Emperor, he naturally knew about this, and the story was passed down gradually.

Now in the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect, the only one who knew about this was the Divine Hou.

At this moment, looking at the endless ’Ye’ characters in the vast cosmic starry sky, the Divine Hou finally understood.

No wonder this youth was so terrifying—it had to do with that legendary figure.

No wonder he could command the people of the Revenge Lineage...

"It seems you, this little Divine Hou, possess some insight," Ye Xuan looked down at the Divine Hou, speaking unhurriedly, "You have two choices."

"Submit."

"Or... die."

The Divine Hou was in terror, unable to speak, currently prostrate and trembling uncontrollably, without any intention to fight.

Feeling that supremely pure, even more terrifying than that of the Blood Sun Emperor’s Emperor’s Might, the Divine Hou knew that he had probably met the legendary Undying Night Emperor.

Facing such an entity, with what could he possibly resist?

"Emperor Ye is magnanimous, not holding grudges for slights. I am willing to submit and serve Emperor Ye as my master," said the Divine Hou, prostrate at Ye Xuan’s feet, not daring to show any disrespect.

"You are not yet worthy to serve me as your master," Ye Xuan said indifferently, paying no mind to the Divine Hou’s fear, and slowly continued, "You will continue to guard Zhongxuan Mountain, only now your master will change from the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect to the Emperor Immortal Sect, understand?"

"Your subordinate understands," the Divine Hou said respectfully.

"Since you understand, why is your Divine Soul not yet open?" Ye Xuan said lightly.

The Divine Hou didn’t dare to hesitate, openly exposing his Divine Soul, allowing Ye Xuan to plant a Soul Seal within his Sea of Consciousness.

From then on, the Divine Hou had to obey Ye Xuan’s commands without question, with his life and death hanging on Ye Xuan’s thoughts.

In fact, even if Ye Xuan hadn’t done so, the Divine Hou wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.

The Undying Night Emperor was a legendary figure; although it was unknown why he would appear here, if one dared to provoke him, the result would surely be dire.

Hum—

When the Soul Seal was completed, all anomalies vanished, and the Divine Hou found himself back above Zhongxuan Mountain, confronting Ye Xuan.

But this time, there was no arrogance left in him; he actively offered the Blood Sun and respectfully returned to his lair.

As commanded by Ye Xuan, he would continue to guard Zhongxuan Mountain.

"Eh?"

However, to the others watching, this was completely baffling.

What happened?

Wasn’t he just talking about killing Ye Xuan a second ago, how come the next second he willingly handed over the Blood Sun and retreated?

Xiong Tun and the others were a bit stunned.

It was far too inconceivable.

However, Di Wu’ai, the Demon Emperor, upon witnessing that scene, pondered and felt a chill run down his spine, recalling an event from a few days prior.

Most likely, the Divine Hou had been manipulated by Emperor Ye in the blink of an eye...

Ye Xuan held the Blood Sun in his hand, and with a wave, he returned the Six Emperors Locking Yang Map to Di Wu’ai, the Demon Emperor.

Ye Xuan looked toward the south and spoke indifferently, "What about you, are you also here to seek death?"

The Heavenly Dragon Dynasty’s Defeated Heavenly Army and the strong from the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect and Medicine Pavilion, who had already stopped at a distance, were all trembling with fear.

"Young Master Ye, please don’t misunderstand; in fact, we are representing the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty to offer you an apology," said the Defeated Divine General quickly, bowing with his hands clasped before him.
