As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1543: 411: Borrowing the Great Vista's Luck Golden Lotus—Below God Realm, I Am Invincible
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Boom—!!!
A cataclysmic detonation erupted between the heavens and the earth. Violent gales howled as shockwaves materialized into visible white ripples, surging and rampaging toward every horizon!
A dazzling brilliance, blinding in its intensity, birthed a mushroom cloud that ascended thousands of feet into the firmament!
The golden plume of mist transformed the obsidian night into a scene as radiant as high noon!
The tremors were felt even within the distant Qianyuan Taoist City!
Whizz whizz whizz—
The whistling sounds of figures cutting through the air immediately echoed throughout the Dao City as experts soared into the sky.
Astonishment was etched upon every face.
Staring at the heavens that had turned from darkness to daylight, a collective shiver traveled down their spines.
Something had occurred!
Another major incident had unfolded!
The colossal mushroom cloud resembled a furious dragon surging from the depths of an abyss, roaring as it raced toward the heights of the sky!
Even from eight hundred miles away, one could seemingly feel the scorching airwaves carried by the wind, rushing toward them with a cargo of terrifying, ruinous Cultivation energy and surging might!
“It is the Underworld’s mechanical fire mushroom!” Wenlong Yuwen shouted in disbelief.
The Temple Control Bureau had been investigating the Underworld for a significant period. They were well aware that the Underworld’s methods of slaughter bore a specific signature; they would leave a churning mushroom cloud in their wake, and wherever it rolled, only death remained!
Hong Shifu, clutching his chessboard, also ascended to the city’s watchtower.
Within the Divine Sect, figures pierced through the air one after another.
The Second Elder Zhao Fangzhou and the Third Elder Ding Zi—two Martial Saints with Divine Fetuses—wore grim expressions.
The ancestors of various noble families, all possessing Martial Saint Divine Embryos, appeared in succession as well.
Every face was filled with shock.
“The power… it has increased!” The Yun Family Patriarch could not help but gulp nervously.
Many of those present had seen the Underworld’s mechanical mushrooms with their own eyes and could distinctly perceive the evolution in its destructive force.
Now, the sheer intensity of the blast was palpable even at a distance of eight hundred miles…
This weapon…
If it landed a direct hit, even an expert of the Martial Saint Four Transformations might be gravely wounded!
“That coordinate… that is where the imperial court army is camped. What is the Underworld planning? A night raid on the army? If this weapon struck their center, the court’s forces… might be completely decimated!”
Gongshu Jingjun and Tang Xiejia also arrived in haste.
The two had not remained at Divine Carving Ridge during this period.
In truth, they had moved the Woodcarving Masters from Divine Carving Ridge into the Dao City.
With the war currently raging, Divine Carving Ridge was simply too exposed. While not incredibly far from Qianyuan Dao City, the distance was enough that if Xie Yun Shen acted ruthlessly and sent a force to seize the Ridge, it would deal a massive blow to the Qian Yuan Divine Sect!
“Should we go and investigate?”
The group wavered for a moment. After trading glances, Feng Zhiqi took the lead. His aura as a Martial Saint Four Transformations shattered the surrounding clouds as he flew rapidly toward the horizon.
The others hesitated briefly before following his lead.
The ancestors of the noble families felt a profound surge of emotion.
This mushroom cloud had provided them with a sudden injection of confidence!
Why?
Because no one present was a fool. Sensing the devastating power of that explosion, everyone realized how frightening such a force would be against an organized army!
It was even more terrifying than the Mechanical Beasts of the Tang Family!
And this overwhelming power was held by the Qian Yuan Divine Sect!
Did this not imply that in the coming conflict, the Qian Yuan Divine Sect still possessed a fighting chance?
They were not necessarily destined for ruin!
A single mushroom cloud had revitalized the spirit of everyone in Qianyuan Taoist City!
Hope had been sparked by that explosion!
…
…
Eyes filled with mist spanned thirty feet, focusing intently on Xie Yun Shen.
A hazy, shimmering light swirled around Xie Yun Shen, creating a protective barrier that helped him deflect the horrific aftershocks of the slaughter.
As the State Preceptor of Dajing, his personal Cultivation was mediocre, yet his rank was supreme, and he enjoyed the absolute trust of the Emperor.
Consequently, the Emperor had gifted him a divine artifact specifically for preserving his life.
Furthermore, with Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect—two peak entities beyond the Heavenly Gate—acting in unison, they could manifest combat power at the half-step Martial God level for his protection.
Xie Yun Shen’s safety was normally beyond question.
In this world, countless people desired Xie Yun Shen’s demise.
He had assisted the Imperial Court in crushing the great Divine Sects, causing the influence of various sects across all paths to dwindle. Thus, assassination attempts were nothing new to him; he had survived many.
However, this occasion was different…
This particular assassination made Xie Yun Shen truly sense the cold breath of death!
“Underworld… King Yan!” Xie Yun Shen inhaled deeply.
He had never anticipated that the Underworld would employ such an unexpected tactic!
Normally, with a Divine Tribulation Cultivator like Zhao Beidou guarding him, the Qian Yuan Divine Sect would have needed to send two experts of the same rank to succeed in such a hit.
Yet, the Grandmaster of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect had not even appeared, and Xie Yun Shen was already in a desperate crisis.
The Underworld had chosen a truly sinister and dishonorable method!
They had simply lured Zhao Beidou away!
They had no regard for martial virtue!
As for where he had been taken, that was no longer relevant. For Xie Yun Shen, standing before the Underworld Yama meant he was already teetering on the brink of the grave.
Indeed.
The Underworld Yama merely took a single step!
An immense pressure seemed to slice through the airwaves, causing the world to fall into a sudden, absolute silence!
The veil of the protective divine weapon in front of Xie Yun Shen began to vibrate with violent intensity!
Yet, in that critical moment, Xie Yun Shen became preternaturally still.
“Clap, clap, clap…”
He began to applaud with a hint of genuine respect, watching the Underworld Yama manifest within the tent.
