The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor

Chapter 1957 - 1954: Purple Dragon

Back in the day, the footprints left by Ye Xuan were the heaviest among all the footprints.It was also the last place Ye Xuan reached.

In that place, Ye Xuan was extremely close to the ultimate secret of the Emperor Road, but in the end, he saw nothing.

Perhaps the time was not right.

Because of this, Ye Xuan intensified the last footprints, so they could remain for a longer time.

Unexpectedly, these footprints broke off here.

Luckily, an inadvertent movement by Ye Xuan revealed the presence of the footprints.

Ye Xuan’s mind stirred.

Tree God and others quickly noticed Ye Xuan’s call and returned to his side immediately.

"Found it. You guys should go back to the Void Divine Realm first. That place harbors unknown dangers, and who knows what might change."

Ye Xuan was straightforward, without unnecessary words.

"Be careful," Tree God said softly.

Subsequently, the many giants returned to the Void Divine Realm.

Their appearance relied on the Divine Gate opened by Ye Xuan.

Normally, they could not manifest.

After the giants returned to the Void Divine Realm, Ye Xuan set his sight on the footprint and stepped onto it.

Boom!

Ye Xuan suddenly lost his balance, constantly falling.

As if he was descending into an abyss.

After a whole incense stick’s time passed, he finally landed on that footprint.

And there was only one footprint!

The subsequent footprints had disappeared again.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan frowned.

This Chaos was constantly moving, directly disrupting his original footprints.

But Ye Xuan knew very well that if he didn’t follow the footprints.

Even if Ye Xuan followed the previous footprints, he would never reach that place, even if he walked to his death.

This is the terrifying aspect of this Chaos.

If you’re not careful, you’ll get lost and never find yourself again.

There’s no choice.

Ye Xuan could only use his method to find the next footprint’s location.

Fortunately.

The next footprint was just below.

Just like this footprint, it also required continuous falling to reach.

Thus, Ye Xuan followed the footprints, walking for who knows how long, yet only taking a few steps.

But it was a long journey.

However, those distances still had to be counted by steps.

Because that was the real distance.

One day.

Ye Xuan silently counted his steps, feeling almost at the endpoint.

Boom!

After another descent, Ye Xuan let out a breath.

Because the footprints ahead no longer broke off and were instead connected.

"Finally arrived."

Ye Xuan took a few steps and came to the last pair of footprints.

Upon stepping onto them, the Chaos ahead began to churn wildly.

As though there was some great terror contained within it!

Ye Xuan squinted his eyes, with a hint of anticipation in his expression.

The secret of the Emperor Road was within reach.

He had walked here countless times but never saw the true secret of the Emperor Road.

Today, Ye Xuan couldn’t guarantee he would gain the true secret of the Emperor Road.

But deep down, he had a premonition.

Today he will not return empty-handed.

Ye Xuan watched the churning Chaos, silently waiting.

Time slowly passed.

The Chaos churned more and more dramatically.

As time went on, within the Chaos, strands of purple light began to permeate.

The purple light stood out conspicuously within the Chaos.

Ye Xuan watched the scene, eyes squinting slightly, quietly waiting.

Ye Xuan closely watched the purple light.

The purple light swayed constantly, shimmering in the Chaos.

A moment later, the purple light ceased swaying.

The Chaos Mist parted to both sides, unfurling a Chaos Ancient Dao before Ye Xuan.

This Chaos Ancient Dao was somewhat similar to the Chaos Ancient Dao, one of the ten dangerous passes in Dao Chu Ancient Land.

But it had marked differences.

The Chaos Ancient Dao in Dao Chu Ancient Land was real.

The Chaos Ancient Dao before him was not substantial but formed by the Chaos parting slowly.

And at the end of it was just now that cluster of purple light!

At the moment the Chaos parted, the purple light shone peerlessly bright, spanning millions of miles!

In the Chaos, its terror was clearly shown!

Ye Xuan squinted his eyes into a slit, placing his right hand on the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd at his waist.

The River Soldier buzzed incessantly within the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd, as if it was about to fly out.

This seemed to indicate the extraordinary nature of the purple energy.

Boom!

The purple energy swept through the Chaos and then suddenly retracted.

The purple energy converged.

At the end of the Chaos Ancient Dao, it awaited without erupting.

Meanwhile, the River Soldier within Ye Xuan’s Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd grew increasingly agitated.

Ye Xuan remained still.

Boom!

The next moment.

A purple energy shot from the end of the Chaos Ancient Dao, suddenly traversing across, instantly reaching Ye Xuan’s face.

It was incredibly fast, impossible to see clearly.

But Ye Xuan, who had been monitoring the purple light, saw it distinctly.

That purple light abruptly retracted, forming a person!

That person was entirely enveloped in purple patterns, even their eyes were purple.

He was like a human-shaped violent dragon. The moment he opened his eyes, he directly targeted Ye Xuan.

That punch aimed straight for Ye Xuan’s brow, intending to smash Ye Xuan’s head with a single blow!

At that very instant, the River Soldier abruptly unsheathed.

Ye Xuan held the River Soldier in reverse with his right hand, the sword’s blade pressed close against his right forearm, while the tip aimed at the person’s chest.

At this moment, the entire Chaos seemed to freeze.

The person enveloped in purple patterns smiled grimly, tapping his toes lightly, and retreated to the Chaos Ancient Dao.

With his long purple hair cascading down to his heels, he stood majestic and imposing, exuding intense pressure.

He casually swung his hand and slowly said, "Purple Dragon."

Purple Dragon?

It seemed this was the person’s name.

Ye Xuan swirled the sword flower, holding the River Soldier diagonally, with his left hand rested behind, resembling a Sword God.

Ye Xuan said calmly, "Ye Xuan."

The majestic man who called himself Purple Dragon smiled as he raised his hand to stop, saying, "No need to mention that, I won’t remember."

Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm, taking the man’s behavior as arrogance.

Purple Dragon continued, "This isn’t arrogance, because I’m no longer here."

Ye Xuan raised a brow.

This guy, can he see what he’s thinking?

"What do you mean by ’no longer here’?"

Ye Xuan scrutinized Purple Dragon.

Currently, Purple Dragon didn’t seem to be conjured.

He seemed born from Chaos, containing all things of a being.

Ye Xuan, through a pair of Daoist Eyes, could see the terrifying fortune behind Purple Dragon.

If he was conjured.

Where would the talk of fortune come from?

Purple Dragon, seeing Ye Xuan watching him, said with a smile, "Don’t be surprised. I’ll tell you the truth; I hail from the mid-period of the Immortal Ancient Era. At my peak, I almost touched the Immortal Emperor but failed, so I died. As of now, my strength is equal to yours."

Upon hearing these words, Ye Xuan faintly caught hold of something.

Ye Xuan’s expression turned slightly odd, "You’re saying that you’re still a manifestation from the Emperor Road, fighting against me?"

"Emperor Road?"

Purple Dragon paused for a moment before saying, "The names don’t matter. You’re right; it is indeed like that."

"Only those who walk here can see my existence."

"Through ancient times, you’re the first."

"Including the Immortal Ancient Epoch."
