The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1605 - 1602: Direct Confrontation

"So it’s a battle against the Female Ghost God."

Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul sensed that the Nine Netherworld Phoenix had appeared on the other side of the Ghost Land and had already met with the Female Ghost God.

It was no surprise that a peak battle would ensue between the two.

"Having a fighter on call is really convenient."

Ye Xuan smiled faintly, finding some amusement amidst the hardships.

Originally, he had already left the Ghost Land, but the Female Ghost God dragged him back to confront the Ghost Land.

To be honest, Ye Xuan was quite unwilling.

But considering that the Old Ghost Liu Tree was backing the Female Ghost God, and that he owed him a great favor, he could only help out.

Through this matter, it was not hard to see that the Old Ghost Liu Tree seemed to value the affairs of the Ghost Land quite highly.

Could it be because the Ghost Land was the remnant of the exotic beings from that war?

That possibility could not be ruled out.

"You’re actually daring to show up again?!"

The Emperor Soul’s brazen sweeping caused the Ghost Land to quickly lock onto Ye Xuan’s location. At the first sight of Ye Xuan, the Ghost Land was momentarily stunned.

This guy seemed like a completely different person, and his strength appeared to have weakened drastically!

But the Ghost Land was far too familiar with Ye Xuan’s aura to mistake him.

Ye Xuan was the monster that had disrupted its plans all those years ago!

Ye Xuan retracted his Emperor Soul and looked towards the shadow beneath the abyss unseen by other Ghost Clan members, smiling faintly, "What’s there not to dare? Do you think I’d fear you?"

The Ghost Land coldly looked at Ye Xuan, filled with a murderous desire: "How perfect. I’ll consume you today as well!"

At the beginning, the Ghost Land was extremely wary of Ye Xuan because Ye Xuan’s power was terrifyingly immense, even rivaling that of the Female Ghost God at her peak.

Because of this, when it first detected Ye Xuan’s aura at the Divine River, it immediately extended its Divine Sense to investigate, fearing Ye Xuan would cause trouble again.

But now, seeing Ye Xuan’s power had drastically declined, the Ghost Land’s wariness towards Ye Xuan had dissipated.

It’s the perfect opportunity to settle both new and old scores!

"Let’s see if you have the ability to do so."

Ye Xuan smiled faintly.

"On my territory, what do you have to fight against me?"

The Ghost Land’s aged voice was filled with arrogance.

Boom!

At this moment, a colossal stone sword suddenly broke through the sky, descending towards Ye Xuan.

"What is that!?"

All the Ghost Clan members were stupefied at the sight.

The enormous stone sword filled the vision of all Ghost Clan members, it was too large!

It seemed as if the entire sky dome had been compressed to the side by the stone sword.

The overwhelming pressure rendered the present Ghost Clan members incapable of moving.

Even those at the Great Venerate Realm were unable to escape.

"It’s over!"

At this moment, all the Ghost Clan members were in despair.

Ye Xuan looked up at the stone sword, finding it oddly familiar.

"It’s the ancient stone statue seen upon entering the Ghost Land..."

Ye Xuan squinted his eyes.

Upon entering the Ghost Land, one could see many ancient, ruined stone statues.

Among them was a damaged statue, headless yet towering, holding a stone sword pointed to the sky, overwhelming in presence.

And now, this stone sword was clearly a magnified version of that stone sword!

"I knew those statues weren’t simple."

Ye Xuan murmured softly.

From the first time he entered the Ghost Land, Ye Xuan knew these ancient stone statues must hide some secret.

Today, it seemed to reveal itself.

These ancient stone statues could all be controlled by the Ghost Land. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Or perhaps, they took orders from the Ghost Land!

"I have a sword too."

Ye Xuan smiled faintly, lightly patting the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd at his waist.

The gourd’s mouth flipped open, and in an instant, a flash of sword light appeared.

It was a mysterious sword that was neither exactly a blade nor a sword, entirely pitch-black, without any glimmer.

This was the sword Ye Xuan carried, the Ten Thousand Ancient First Sword of the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds — Guo Hezu.

"Go."

Ye Xuan pointed his sword towards the sky with a soft shout.

Swish!

In the next moment, Guo Hezu soared into the sky.

A faint, barely detectable black line appeared wherever it passed.

And when Guo Hezu reached the sky, the entire void split starting from that black line, directly cleaving into two halves!

As the sword passed by, it directly split the entire void of the Ghost Land into halves!

Swish!

The giant stone sword, like a sky dome, collided with Ye Xuan’s Guo Hezu.

The imagined violent clash did not occur.

Guo Hezu instantly merged with the tip of the stone sword and disappeared.

What followed was a skyful of stone debris, falling continuously from above, as if snow was drifting.

Swish!

Before long, a black sword light descended, circling around Ye Xuan once.

Ye Xuan raised his hand, grabbed the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd, and took a swig of wine, allowing Guo Hezu to return to the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd.

One sword breaking one sword.

The spectacle was grand.

It shocked billions of Ghost Clan members.

At this moment, all the eyes of the Ghost Clan were focused solely on Ye Xuan.

"It’s that Human Clan member from before!"

The Ghost Clan members who had seen Ye Xuan outside the Ghost Land immediately recognized Ye Xuan.

Precisely because they recognized him, they were even more shocked.

They never expected this Human Clan youth to have grown so powerful!

Astonishing beyond explanation!

Incredibly strong to the point of outrage!

"This guy truly isn’t easy to deal with..."

The Ghost Land internally muttered.

Although Ye Xuan’s power had significantly declined, it dared not underestimate Ye Xuan at all, because it had witnessed Ye Xuan once at his peak.

He could directly engage with it, then tear apart its plans and suppress it.

With such power, even in its prime, it dared not underestimate him.

Although Ye Xuan had weakened, having reached such a level meant he wouldn’t be devoid of tricks.

Moreover, as Ye Xuan had shown up in its presence on his own initiative this time, he must have prepared thoroughly.

"Fine, I’ll just stall him for now."

The Ghost Land formed seals with both hands.

Rumble!

In the next moment, the entire Ghost Land suddenly reversed.

The sky became ground.

The ground became sky.

Instantly, all Ghost Clan members suddenly found themselves uncontrollably flipped upside down. Their mana spiraled backwards, rendering them unable to fly, screaming as they fell towards what was originally the sky dome.

Even Ye Xuan was considerably affected.

The only one likely unaffected was Jiuyou Emperor Shenku.

He did not belong to the mortal world, so none of this affected him.

Of course, he couldn’t intervene in any matters here.

He could only be an observer.

Ye Xuan felt the weightlessness, and the Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Power within him also showed signs of rare disorder, causing him to fall towards the sky dome along with those Ghost Clan members.

Ye Xuan, however, was not flustered. He operated the "Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Technique," restoring order from chaos, returning to the right path.

Yet before Ye Xuan could stabilize himself, the void behind him undulated like flowing water.

Next, a pair of massive stone statue hands silently extended out, clasped together, trapping Ye Xuan, then retracted, disappearing into that water-like void.

Ye Xuan vanished into thin air as well.

Ye Xuan found himself engulfed in boundless darkness, but he remained calm, stomping his foot.

With a thunderous sound, the stone statue hands instantly shattered.

Ye Xuan found himself in the light again.

"Hmm?"

Ye Xuan’s gaze suddenly sharpened.
