The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1281 - 1278: Curse Tree

The recently deceased person, who suffered from the Triple Layers of Curses and had strength exceeding the Great Venerate Realm when alive, had stayed in this Second Curse Land and even become a spy for the Curse Tree.

Since he had already been noticed, Ye Xuan didn’t intend to retreat, and continued forward with the crowd.

In the dark, Ye Xuan was ready to strike with full force at any moment.

The Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions are different from the outside world, in the nine Forbidden Lands of the Xuanhuang Great World, there’s no such thing as Heavenly Dao Suppression.

The ceiling of power for the creatures here could even be that of the Great Emperor!

Just like the monsters Ye Xuan encountered in the Chaos Ancient Dao of the Dao Chu Ancient Land, whose power rivaled that of a Great Emperor!

This is also why even Great Emperors face the risk of falling when they come.

Because the monsters within are truly terrifying.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the most terrifying aspects of the Death Netherworld are only two points.

Curses, zombies.

However, in reality, the truly terrifying part is those fearsome beings that have existed since the birth of the Death Netherworld.

The sea patrolling yaksha is nothing to be feared.

It’s merely a yaksha cursed.

But the fearsome beings that have always existed in the Death Netherworld, they coexist with curse runes and can even produce curse runes.

This is the most terrifying!

And the Curse Tree is such a fearsome being.

"Little Changsheng, you take them to the other side first."

After advancing a while, Ye Xuan stopped and instructed.

"Leader..." Qi Changsheng hesitated for a moment, then respectfully said, "Yes."

Qi Changsheng understood very well that even though his avatar carried the Nine Layers of Curses, it was impossible to compete against the Curse Tree.

From the root source, he had already lost.

Unless the main body was here, otherwise, even if he were as strong as a Great Emperor, he couldn’t do anything to the Curse Tree.

"Cousin, do I have to go too?" Jiang Ya’s face couldn’t help but change.

"Yes, see you later." Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

"Then be careful by yourself!" Jiang Ya urged.

"Go." Ye Xuan said.

Qiao Xinyu, East Desolate Wolf, and others also successively bid farewell to Ye Xuan.

People from the Immortal Crossing Sect followed suit.

Those from Dou Su Palace looked at each other.

"What about us?" Primordial Saint True Person looked at Ye Xuan, then at Qi Changsheng.

"If you don’t want to die, then go with them." Ye Xuan said indifferently.

Dou Su Saint snorted lightly, but still chose to follow Qi Changsheng and the others.

Once everyone had left, only Ye Xuan was left standing there.

Afterward, those from the Great Emperor Immortal Sect who came also followed the footprints of Qi Changsheng and others.

This invisibly saved their lives.

They had no idea how terrifying the Curse Tree was.

Ye Xuan touched the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd at his waist, his expression calm, and softly said: "Lead the way."

The white-robed man who had disappeared before reappeared; he looked woodenly at Ye Xuan, then turned and flew away with his sword.

Ye Xuan followed behind the white-robed man.

The trees on both sides kept retreating.

After a while, the view in front suddenly opened up.

The towering trees became fewer.

Soon, the two flew out of the primeval forest, arriving at a Lake Heart Island.

Mist surrounded all sides.

The Lake Heart Island was not large, and on it stood a pitch-black giant tree, its crown covering the whole island.

After bringing Ye Xuan here, the white-robed man stood aside, without any movement.

Ye Xuan knew he had reached his destination, and walked alone towards the trunk of the giant tree.

Boom!

At this moment, a gust of ghostly wind arose, as if to blow Ye Xuan’s Divine Soul to pieces.

Ye Xuan let out a cold snort, and the Emperor Soul stirred.

In an instant, behind Ye Xuan, an unrivaled and terrifying Emperor’s Shadow appeared, overlooking the pitch-black giant tree.

"So, it’s you..."

A hoarse, low voice sounded in Ye Xuan’s ear, carrying a hint of deep-seated hatred.

Ye Xuan smiled indifferently, continued strolling forward, and said slowly, "You rarely forget the Great Emperor."

"Hard to forget!" the voice continued.

Ye Xuan approached the Curse Tree.

The trunk was so thick it took ten people to hug, and on it was an ancient face, with cloudy eyes staring intently at Ye Xuan, exuding a seething resentment.

Ye Xuan stopped, calmly looked at the ancient tree once honored as the Curse God in the Ancient Times, and slowly said, "It’s been a long time."

Rumble————

As Ye Xuan spoke, the Lake Heart Island quaked, and the surrounding lake water boiled as well.

Roots as thick as dragons surged from the ground, their sharp ends directed at Ye Xuan.

In an instant, Ye Xuan seemed trapped in a desperate situation.

The Curse Tree rasped, speaking in a low tone, "Last time I said, if we meet again, I would skin you, extract your bones, and suppress your Divine Soul underground for eternity."

"What? You think I was joking?"

Ye Xuan snorted, slightly smiling, and looked up at the grim old face, and said slowly, "So why haven’t you taken action yet?"

Rumble————

This sentence obviously infuriated the Curse Tree; its branches shook with such terrifying momentum, it seemed it could shatter Heaven itself!

But after a moment, the Curse Tree quieted down once more, it gazed at Ye Xuan coldly, and said in a low voice, "Where did you take my essence back then?"

Ye Xuan’s expression remained indifferent, and he replied calmly, "You know perfectly well."

The Curse Tree squinted, "What do you mean by ’know perfectly well’?"

Ye Xuan let out a laugh, pointing at the Curse Tree and scolded, "Who let you move from the Nine-layered Curse Land to this Second Curse Land? You old, undying mongrel, you were meant to die back then, but after I took your essence, you began to rule this Second Curse Land, why do you think that is?"

"After all these years, you still couldn’t see through this, calling you a stupid old dog wouldn’t be over-exaggerated."

These words left the Curse Tree fuming, ready to attack.

But it held back, pondering over Ye Xuan’s words, ignoring the insults, and felt there was some logic in them.

The Curse Tree couldn’t help but look at Ye Xuan, and said with a solemn voice, "So what does that prove? It just proves this old tree shouldn’t have died!"

Ye Xuan sneered and said, "If that’s how you see it, then take action, I’m curious to see what progress you’ve made over the years."

While speaking.

The Red Bright Nine Heavens Map, the Qingming Xuan Yin Banner, the Taixu Pearl, the Soul Loss Bell, the Soul Box, the Old Ghost Willow Branch, and the Guo Hezu, all appeared around Ye Xuan.

Each item radiated an unparalleled, terrifying aura.

At this moment, the Curse Tree was somewhat astonished.

"What?"

"Afraid?"

Ye Xuan sneered.

The Curse Tree looked at Ye Xuan, deliberated for a moment, then said, "Even if I misunderstood you back then, how do you account for the harm you’ve caused me?"

Ye Xuan huffed coldly, "Didn’t I make it clear back then?"
