The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor

"Are you also here for those ancient characters?"

Ye Xuan sensed the warning from Zhu Yan with six arms and couldn't help but smile as he spoke.

Zhu Yan snorted, two streams of white air rolled up from its nostrils, like a dragon flying upward.

Zhu Yan looked down at Ye Xuan and took a step forward.

Boom!

That step stirred up an astonishing wave of air, as if to blow Ye Xuan away.

Ye Xuan's black robe rustled loudly, and his hair fluttered in the air.

However, Ye Xuan seemed rooted to the spot, standing as immovable as a mountain.

Zhu Yan, with its six arms, was driving Ye Xuan away, asserting that this was its territory!

Being such an ancient anomaly, they have a very strong sense of territory. If any creature invades their domain, they will undoubtedly act to drive it out.

Driving out was actually relatively acceptable.

If disregarded, it would directly kill.

Being an ancient anomaly, Zhu Yan was keenly perceptive. Even though Ye Xuan's cultivation wasn't strong, it could sense a power within Ye Xuan that it dared not underestimate.

Because of this, it only appeared to drive him away, rather than to kill outright.

"I want those ancient characters," Ye Xuan said unwaveringly, unfazed.

He knew that Zhu Yan could understand his words.

"Roar————"

Indeed, as Ye Xuan spoke, Zhu Yan let out a roar. The wind it spat from its mouth carried a bloody scent, as if it had just hunted a fierce beast.

Thump, thump, thump————

Like a gigantic, angry ape facing the sky, Zhu Yan beat its chest with its six fists, creating earth-shaking noise to show its might.

At the moment its feet hit the ground, Zhu Yan charged at Ye Xuan!

An ancient anomaly is indeed an ancient anomaly, resorting to action at a moment's discord, without an ounce of consideration or hesitation.

Ye Xuan wasn't surprised by Zhu Yan's attack and with a thought,

Boom!

The next moment, the Emperor Corpse that was behind him moved instantaneously.

The entire figure seemed to teleport directly in front of Ye Xuan, its right hand raising, fist clenched, and punched out.

There were no superfluous movements, no mana fluctuations—just a single punch thrown.

The arrival of the Emperor Corpse was so sudden that even Zhu Yan with six arms couldn't react. It was still rushing at Ye Xuan, its six arms raised high as if to strike with all six fists to crush Ye Xuan into paste!

Boom!

But.

The speed of Zhu Yan with six arms simply couldn't match that of the Emperor Corpse.

Even under the weight of tens of thousands of times gravity, the Emperor Corpse could traverse as easily as flat ground, lifting a fist and throwing a direct punch.

With a thunderous "bang," the punch landed squarely on Zhu Yan's chest.

Instantly, Zhu Yan's massive body bent like a prawn, its eyes bulging and a mouthful of fresh blood spurting out.

Its massive body paused in the air, then violently flew backward.

But this wasn't the end; the Emperor Corpse quickly grabbed Zhu Yan, preventing it from flying away, then fiercely slammed it back to the ground.

Thud!

A resounding crash echoed as Zhu Yan only felt as though its entire skeleton was about to disassemble.

Before it could even struggle, it was met with a fusillade of relentless fists pummeling it.

Keep in mind that Zhu Yan is famously hard to beat, but under the punches of the Emperor Corpse, it could only take the hits passively, with no strength to retaliate.

In just moments, Zhu Yan began to whimper and lowered its head.

Yet the Emperor Corpse, like a corpse puppet, continued punching.

When Ye Xuan saw Zhu Yan lowering its head, he gestured with his hand to stop the Emperor Corpse from beating Zhu Yan.

With a movement, the Emperor Corpse retreated back into the Chaos Qi.

Only then did Zhu Yan catch its breath, no longer daring to cause trouble for Ye Xuan, looking at Ye Xuan with fear.

Originally running toward Ye Xuan, Yao Yueqing slowed down as she witnessed the scene until she stopped, dumbfounded, staring at the scene.

"This..."

Yao Yueqing was somewhat at a loss.

Who was that who just acted?

Completely unfamiliar!

"Don't just stand there, come and handle the important matter." Ye Xuan waved at Yao Yueqing.

Instinctively, Yao Yueqing crossed her arms defensively, saying warily, "What do you want?"

Ye Xuan glanced sideways at Yao Yueqing, a bit impatient, "What are you being so cautious about, with your figure? It's nowhere near as good as Youwei's at home."

Upon hearing this, Yao Yueqing was instantly filled with shame and anger, and snorted coldly, "Is this how you ask people for help?"

Ye Xuan replied unhurriedly, "Are you a bit unclear about your own position?"

Ye Xuan looked at Yao Yueqing calmly.

Yao Yueqing, who was initially being stubborn, suddenly felt somewhat scared after sensing Ye Xuan's gaze. She muttered softly, "Can't you speak more nicely every time?"

Even though she said that, Yao Yueqing still obediently went to Ye Xuan's side.

She knew that Ye Xuan called her because he had found new Ancient Characters to transcribe.

She had just overthought it earlier.

After Yao Yueqing stood beside Ye Xuan, she didn't need him to speak further. She actively began to operate the "Shaking Light Technique", and at that moment, the Pure Saint Body also unfolded.

But this time, Yao Yueqing was struggling considerably.

Due to the gravity, she found it hard to withstand.

"It doesn't seem doable... " Yao Yueqing's face was pale.

Ye Xuan raised his right hand, placed it on Yao Yueqing's fragrant shoulder, and said softly, "Continue."

Yao Yueqing looked back at the calm-faced Ye Xuan in surprise and suddenly felt a bit dumbfounded: "You?"

At the moment Ye Xuan touched her shoulder, the gravity on her body retreated like a tide, allowing her to be unaffected by it.

"Stop talking nonsense." Ye Xuan interrupted Yao Yueqing's words.

He used the power of the Taoist Body to transfer the gravity from Yao Yueqing to himself. Now, he was enduring nearly thirty thousand times the gravity.

This feeling, to be honest, was quite satisfying.

"Alright!" Yao Yueqing, however, was immensely moved, her eyes slightly red, and she began operating the Shaking Light Technique.

As Ye Xuan noticed the change in Yao Yueqing's expression, he ultimately kept silent, fearing it would affect the young girl's emotions.

Buzz————

The Pure Saint Body was activated, enveloping Yao Yueqing completely in Holy Light, pure and immaculate, like a fairy descending into the world.

Ye Xuan took out the prepared Saint Paper and gently tossed it, causing the Saint Paper to automatically float behind Yao Yueqing's head and start transcribing Ancient Characters.

Buzz buzz buzz————

The golden Ancient Characters in the mist, which had previously vanished, reappeared at this moment, each flying toward the Saint Paper, continuously transforming on it.

With the transcription of each golden Ancient Character, Yao Yueqing's face gradually turned pale, and her delicate body began to tremble.

Noticing Yao Yueqing's distress, Ye Xuan moved slightly, transferring his strength to her.

"Hm!"

Yao Yueqing felt the influx of Ye Xuan's strength, causing her heart to tremble.

Is this truly the power of a cultivator in the Heavenly God Realm?

The feeling it gave her was more than ten times purer and more powerful than her own strength!

One must know that she was indeed a true Great Master in the Saint Realm!

There was an insurmountable chasm between them, yet Ye Xuan's strength was so much more formidable than hers.

"Focus." Ye Xuan sternly said.

Yao Yueqing's distraction caused the transcription of the Ancient Characters to halt.

Upon hearing his words, Yao Yueqing hastily calmed her mind, focusing on the transcription.

With Ye Xuan's assistance, Yao Yueqing stabilized herself.

Soon, one by one, the golden Ancient Characters were successfully transcribed onto the Saint Paper without any danger.

This time, Yao Yueqing didn't collapse to the ground; she merely looked a bit pale.

"It seems that stepping into the Fifth Layer of the Shaking Light Technique makes it considerably easier." Yao Yueqing smiled faintly, relieved.

Looking at the Saint Paper that flew back into his hand, Ye Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "There are fewer Ancient Characters this time than the last..."

Those Ancient Characters merged into one, forming an Ancient Character on the Saint Paper.

No.

It's not complete, but just half!

This time's Ancient Characters were noticeably fewer than last time.

"So that's how it is." Yao Yueqing felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Let's go." Ye Xuan put away the Saint Paper.

While speaking, Ye Xuan withdrew his right hand from Yao Yueqing's fragrant shoulder.

The gravity pressed down on Yao Yueqing again.

Yao Yueqing stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Ye Xuan!" Yao Yueqing glared at Ye Xuan, her initial affection for him turning back into anger.

This detestable Ye Xuan was really too wicked, using her and then ignoring her?!

Detestable detestable detestable!

"Don't worry, you've done well this time, and you'll find things a lot easier going forward." Ye Xuan smiled indifferently, gesturing to the six-armed Zhu Yan, who was healing nearby.

The six-armed Zhu Yan saw this and instinctively wanted to retreat, but remembering the earlier scene, it became fearful and resignedly approached Ye Xuan.

"Take us to the Divine's Nest." Ye Xuan, with Yao Yueqing, directly flew onto the shoulder of the six-armed Zhu Yan and ordered.
