The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1279 - 1276: 9-Fold Cursed Land

Qi Changsheng’s figure appeared out of thin air above the head of the Sea Patrol Yaksha, looking down at it indifferently, saying: "Quiet down."

The Sea Patrol Yaksha, previously in a furious state, suddenly froze there, motionless. In its pair of brutal eyes, there was actually a look of fear.

From Qi Changsheng’s presence, this strongest overlord of the First Layer of the Cursed Land felt an indescribable despair!

Just like an ant facing a Divine Dragon, completely incomparable.

Especially the curse power emanating from Qi Changsheng, which made the Sea Patrol Yaksha extremely terrified.

That fear is an instinctive reaction.

It is the gap in strength.

After all, the Sea Patrol Yaksha has no self-awareness, also being eroded by curse runes, turning into a zombie.

As the Sea Patrol Yaksha was suppressed by Qi Changsheng, the dark sea slowly receded.

"Hmm?"

The Dragon Demon, originally wreaking havoc at the rear, saw this scene, his gaze slightly fixed, transforming into a human form, and flying through the air, avoiding the location of the Sea Patrol Yaksha.

The Dragon Demon gazed at Qi Changsheng from afar, a trace of apprehension rising from the depths of its eyes.

When he saw Ye Xuan earlier, he didn’t pay too much attention, instead it was those around Ye Xuan that made him feel nervous.

Especially Qi Changsheng, who made the Dragon Demon feel the most unease.

Possessing the True Dragon Bloodline, he could sense crises that others could not.

On Qi Changsheng, the Dragon Demon sensed a crisis that could destroy him!

It was precisely this crisis that made the Dragon Demon say little to Ye Xuan earlier and directly choose to retreat.

He knew very well that if he dared to make a move, he would surely perish.

But the Dragon Demon was not impatient.

The Death Netherworld is extremely perilous.

Eventually, they would be separated by various accidents.

At that moment, it would be the Dragon Demon’s opportunity.

He must reclaim the Dragon Ball!

The dark sea was continually receding.

The others also benefited, traversing this cursed land with the fastest speed.

As the dark sea receded, those curse runes that had been submerged began to move with the wind, flying toward the group.

"Damn it, just how vast is this Cursed Land?!"

Even the swift-moving experts couldn’t help but curse, feeling very frustrated.

The curse runes were extremely strange, and once eroded, one would turn into a zombie.

Judging by the methods of the Great Emperor Immortal Sects, they didn’t seem to have any special solutions, only relying on artifacts to escape, avoiding the curse runes.

But just continuing like this isn’t a solution either, with those curse runes chasing behind, no one could escape.

Those with backing or belonging to the Great Emperor Immortal Sects utilized artifacts that produced a peculiar force, shielding them from the curse runes.

But more people didn’t have such capabilities.

If Ye Xuan hadn’t let Qi Changsheng suppress the Sea Patrol Yaksha, nearly seventy percent of the people would have already died by now.

And this is only the First Layer of the Cursed Land in the Death Netherworld.

In the Death Netherworld, there are nine layers of cursed lands.

In each cursed land, there are many ’zombies.’

These beings are those eroded by curse runes.

Relatively speaking, the zombies in the First Layer of the Cursed Land are considered the weakest.

They only bear the First Layer Curse.

The strongest few are of the Sea Patrol Yaksha’s caliber.

In life, they might have been at the Great Venerate Peak level.

In contrast, the earlier Five Layers Curse creature that appeared in the darkness was even stronger.

But unfortunately, even that is not enough in front of Qi Changsheng.

After all, this avatar of Qi Changsheng is a solid Nine Layers of Curses.

Although this has a lot to do with Qi Changsheng’s true body, any being that can withstand the Nine Layers of Curses is definitely not weak.

At least in other cursed lands, such a being is invincible.

Speaking of which, Qi Changsheng’s true form has a deep connection with the Death Netherworld.

Back then, Ye Xuan went through immense effort to take him out of the Death Netherworld.

It’s even fair to say that Qi Changsheng’s very existence is due to Ye Xuan.

For this reason, Qi Changsheng holds immense respect for Ye Xuan.

Qi Changsheng’s respect for Ye Xuan also contains a unique emotion.

Very complex, similar to a child’s toward a father.

Saying so might be a bit exaggerated, but that’s roughly the meaning.

"Cousin, just how big is this Death Netherworld?"

Jiang Ya, trailing beside Ye Xuan, asked curiously.

Though from the Primordial Hall and cultivated in the Kunlun Ruins, she knew very little about these matters.

At that moment, Jiang Ya somewhat regretted not studying more instead of playing during cultivation, otherwise, she wouldn’t be so ignorant now.

"Roughly the size of Dingzhou," Ye Xuan said in an unusually gentle voice, refraining from mocking his little cousin.

"That big?!"

Jiang Ya widened her big eyes, looking incredibly surprised.

Not just Jiang Ya, but the people in the rear like the East Desolate Wolf and Qiao Xinyu were also astonished.

The Death Netherworld is that vast?

But then, thinking of the Dao Chu Ancient Land that Ye Xuan entered earlier, it didn’t seem as surprising.

After all, the Dao Chu Ancient Land possessed ten major perilous checkpoints, with the last three differing directly from the present space-time.

That’s what’s truly terrifying!

"This area corresponds to the First Eight Layers of the Cursed Land; the Ninth Layer Cursed Land is different," Ye Xuan said slowly.

"The Ninth Layer Cursed Land could be as large as a Great World."

Upon these words, everyone felt a wave of shock.

Supreme Elder Fu Baishi and Zuo Yongqing from the Immortal Crossing Sect exchanged a glance, both seeing the disbelief in each other’s eyes.

Records about the Death Netherworld chiefly concerned curses and zombies.

But they knew little about the divisions within the Cursed Land.

Especially the notion that the Ninth Layer Cursed Land was equivalent to a Great World, this was their first time hearing it.

If such words came from others, these two elders wouldn’t believe them.

But since these words came from Ye Xuan’s mouth, they had no choice but to believe.

"Cousin, you’re not pulling my leg, are you?" Jiang Ya looked at Ye Xuan with suspicion.

Ye Xuan flicked her forehead, disregarding Jiang Ya’s aggrieved expression, leisurely said, "That place is not somewhere ordinary folks can reach, even a Great Emperor might be ambushed there, so don’t think about verifying my words."

"By the way, you all ventured straight into the Death Netherworld, there must be something you’re after?"

Ye Xuan said, half-smiling.

Jiang Ya blinked, softly saying: "Our ancestors said there are several artifacts left by our Kunlun Ruins’ predecessors in the Death Netherworld, which are very important to us."

Ye Xuan looked at his cousin with a peculiar expression and said: "You say it so directly, aren’t you afraid Kunlun Ruins will treat you as a traitor?"

Jiang Ya’s face turned pale instantly, covering her mouth, then meekly said: "Cousin, I didn’t say anything just now!"
