The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1302 - 1299: Ninth Layer

Chapter 1299

"Give me back the Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers!"

The Vajra Divine Son roared angrily at Ye Xuan.

Boom ————

Then he was stepped on the head by the East Desolate Wolf, who grabbed his hair and said coldly, "What are you barking at?"

The Vajra Divine Son gritted his teeth, his eyes as cold as ice.

At this moment, he finally understood what disparity meant.

He had initially thought that with the Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers in his grasp and his Divine Body at Great Success, under the Heavenly Dao Suppression, no one could stop him.

But in reality, facing Ye Xuan’s group, he had no chance to even resist before he was suppressed.

This sense of disparity was hard for him to accept.

However, seeing the change in the Vajra Divine Son’s expression, Nu Zhan Venerable of Dou Su Palace gave a knowing smile.

He, too, once believed himself invincible in the Great Venerate Realm, only to lose to the East Desolate Wolf.

That battle didn’t destroy him but instead invigorated his fighting spirit and made him recognize his shortcomings.

Of course, not everyone has such a mindset.

At least, the Vajra Divine Son couldn’t accept it for now.

"Let’s go."

Ye Xuan remained calm, took the Nine Dragons Divine Tripod, and turned to leave.

Qi Changsheng followed Ye Xuan away.

As for the Vajra Divine Son, Qiao Xinyu naturally knew how to handle him.

For now, the Vajra Divine Son was actually fortunate.

Once he fell into Qin Qi’s hands, he’d truly understand despair.

Ye Xuan and Qi Changsheng crossed the thunder-bound forbidden area, heading toward the Ninth Layer Curse Land.

In that place, even finding the entrance was a challenge for most people.

Ye Xuan and Qi Changsheng, however, were very familiar with it, easily locating it.

The two spent seven days crossing the Eighth Layer Cursed Land, arriving at the entrance of the Ninth Layer Curse Land.

There, a dark gate stood solemnly.

It was strikingly similar to the dark gate at the Death Netherworld’s entrance.

The only difference was their size.

The Death Netherworld’s dark gate soared into the sky, its vastness unknown.

While the dark gate before them was merely a hundred zhang high.

"Has someone been here?"

Ye Xuan squinted slightly, a bit surprised.

Qi Changsheng surveyed it, speaking softly, "It seems someone in Dingzhou knows some secrets."

As he spoke, Qi Changsheng stepped forward and pushed open the dark gate.

Silently, the dark gate slowly opened.

In front of them lay a swirling dark mist.

The dark mist churned, resembling a giant vortex.

Qi Changsheng led the way, Ye Xuan followed, the two stepping into the vortex one after the other.

In the blink of an eye, their figures vanished.

Entering the vortex, Ye Xuan felt everything before him seemingly reversing.

As if time was rewinding.

Ye Xuan stood quietly in place, waiting.

A moment later, everything ceased.

A glimmer of light appeared before him.

Ye Xuan swiftly moved towards the light.

It wasn’t long before he arrived at an ancient ruin.

In the distance, a rumbling sound echoed.

Looking up, he saw a fierce beast of ancestor level, its body spanning a million zhang.

It was like a moving continent, terrifying beyond words.

"Has it changed again..."

Ye Xuan murmured softly.

Every visit to the Ninth Layer Curse Land of the Death Netherworld, the terrain would undergo drastic changes, and even the beings within rapidly evolved.

"Chief." Qi Changsheng’s figure appeared behind Ye Xuan, respectfully speaking, "I’ve found out that the people who entered this place are from Myriad Dragon Lake in Dingzhou, including the earlier Dragon Demon."

"I see..." Ye Xuan’s eyes slightly brightened.

Back then, during the dragon-slaying battle in Dingzhou, he had witnessed everything but knew little of the causes and effects.

Now Ye Xuan understood.

The True Dragon must have known the secrets of the Death Netherworld.

For some reason, this information leaked, known to the overlords of Dingzhou, leading to the epic dragon-slaying battle.

The Dragon Demon could enter here, most likely due to the remnant soul memory of that True Dragon.

As for Myriad Dragon Lake, they were likely in cahoots with the Dragon Demon.

Swoosh ————

At this moment, someone suddenly arrived on a sword from the sky, teetering, and plunged ahead.

It was a young man in a white robe, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, remarkably handsome.

But now, his white robe was stained with blood, and his face looked pale, seemingly severely injured.

After falling, the young man saw Ye Xuan and Qi Changsheng.

Ye Xuan and Qi Changsheng, of course, also saw the young man.

The three remained silent.

The young man took a deep breath, staggered to his feet, and was about to retreat.

But just then, a series of powerful auras surged from afar, targeting the young man.

This caused the young man’s expression to change slightly, leaving him no choice but to brace himself and approach Ye Xuan and Qi Changsheng, cupping his hands in salute, "Could you possibly assist me? I am Jian Chenzi of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land, and once we leave the Death Netherworld, I will repay you both accordingly."

The young man in the white robe was none other than Jian Chenzi, the heir of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land.

How he found his way here was a mystery.

Ye Xuan observed Jian Chenzi for a moment, then spoke slowly, "How did you get in here?"

Jian Chenzi, with an anxious expression, heard Ye Xuan’s question and hurriedly replied, "I didn’t come here willingly; I was inadvertently drawn in by a vortex. Do you know this place?"

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed to slits as he softly said, "The Ninth Layer Curse Land."

Jian Chenzi’s face turned to shock: "What!?"

"This place... is the Ninth Layer Curse Land!?"

Jian Chenzi was utterly astounded.

No wonder he felt the curse runes here were far more bizarre since arriving.

Some places lacked curse runes entirely.

While in others, the curse runes were far more terrifying than those in the Eighth Layer Cursed Land, capable of eroding even Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers!

In the two days he’d been here, he had been searching for a way out.

He hadn’t found an exit and had nearly lost his life.

Thinking of this filled Jian Chenzi with a sense of despair.

"Do you have a way to leave?"

Jian Chenzi asked urgently.

"To leave this place, you must wait for the exit to appear itself." Ye Xuan shook his head slightly.

"What..." Jian Chenzi’s face showed despair.

Ye Xuan said nothing more.

This was the rule of the Ninth Layer Curse Land of the Death Netherworld, a rule no one could defy.

Previously, when explaining to his little cousin, Ye Xuan had mentioned that strictly speaking, the Ninth Layer Curse Land of the Death Netherworld was akin to an independent Great World, where even Great Emperors could fall.

In fact, among those Ye Xuan knew, several Great Emperors had been trapped here and ultimately perished.

Those Great Emperors were all eroded by the curse runes, forever trapped here, no different from the other dead or zombies.

"What you’ve provoked is a Great Sage." Ye Xuan looked into the distance, murmuring softly, as powerful auras rapidly approached.
