As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1546: 411: Borrowing 2 Luck Golden Lotuses From the Great Vista, Invincible Below the God Realm
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Threads of shimmering golden radiance entwine within the lotus petals.
“Luck Golden Lotus…”
“Xie Yushen has cultivated Dajing’s fortune for a long time, and now it has finally bloomed into a singular flower. It seems… the situation at Qianyuan Taoist City has turned dire…”
“Is it possible that even two Divine Tribulations could not protect him?”
“Did the enemy actually send three Divine Tribulations to ensure his death?”
A whispering voice drifted from the rift in space.
Shortly after, the tear in reality sealed itself shut.
However, after a brief pause, the void was ripped open again from a different perspective.
“Worthless.”
Following that cold curse, the crack vanished once more.
…
…
“What exactly is this?”
Li Che could not suppress his look of intrigue.
In truth, a suspicion had already formed in Li Che’s heart; having attained his current level of Cultivation, he could vaguely perceive the various powers flowing between Heaven and Earth.
“The power of fortune?”
Li Che’s brow twitched slightly.
“Indeed… this is the power of fortune!”
Xie Yushen, now entirely gold-plated, appeared as though he were a statue cast in solid gold, yet he emitted an aura that seemed to harmonize perfectly with the heavens.
In this instant, a mere mortal seemed to have ascended directly into a divine state!
He stood tall within the Luck Golden Lotus. Behind him, a golden disc appeared to be condensing, though it remained blurry and riddled with imperfections.
“I have borrowed two portions of Dajing’s imperial fortune…”
Xie Yushen turned his gaze toward the Underworld Yama, a subtle smirk playing in his brilliant golden eyes.
“We must end this quickly… I hope not too much fortune is squandered, or else His Majesty might reprimand me for my failures as a minister.”
Xie Yushen let out a soft sigh.
“You borrowed two portions of Dajing’s imperial fortune? Using national fortune to bolster your own strength?”
Li Che finally spoke, his voice sounding gravelly and deep, tinged with genuine astonishment.
“You are capable of nurturing fortune?”
Li Che pressed further, his tone becoming noticeably more intense.
Xie Yushen narrowed his eyes.
“Is it not already obvious to you?”
“The Luck Golden Lotus that I spent so long nurturing was forced into the light because of you…”
“I have cultivated three Luck Golden Lotuses for Dajing. Each represents two portions of fortune. Three lotuses make six, while the remaining four portions… reside in His Majesty’s palm.”
“His Majesty commanded me to nurture these six portions of Dajing’s fortune to make the empire stronger. Among the eleven Divine Sects, each holds one portion of fortune. This fortune belongs to Dajing! Every one of them, save for the True Martial Divine Sect, must be wiped out!”
Xie Yushen’s eyes erupted with a blinding golden light.
“The Qianyuan Divine Sect… is merely the start. The bird that sticks its head out is always the first to be hunted. The farce at the Flat Peach Victory Meeting was staged for the Temple God Resonance, but also to provide a pretext to strike at the Divine Sects…”
“Even if the Qianyuan Divine Sect hadn't stood up, others would have… the Heavenly Master Purple Mansion Sect, the South Sea Bamboo Forest, or the Green Cloud Mysterious Talisman—any of them could have been the target.”
“It just so happens that you, Qianyuan, were the ones to fall into it.”
Xie Yushen spoke with cold composure.
“Still, despite all my planning, I never anticipated… that the Qianyuan Divine Sect would receive such unexpected help from the Underworld.”
“The Underworld, ah, the Underworld…”
Xie Yushen’s presence began to skyrocket, level by level.
Boom—!!!
A moment later, a pillar of golden light plummeted from the sky like a falling star. A column of gold, thick as an elephant’s leg, slammed down through the darkness of the night.
It was as if a line had been drawn between heaven and earth.
The light crashed into the ruins, which were already choked with swirling smoke and debris.
High in the sky, Gu Qianchi and the God Hunter Killer, who were locked in a stalemate, both showed expressions of shock.
“That is… the Luck Golden Lotus?!”
“Impressive, Xie Yushen! He actually managed to unlock the power of fortune and borrow the destiny of Dajing!”
Gu Qianchi’s eyes sparkled, recognizing the aura that felt like the manifestation of the Heaven and Earth Will.
Meanwhile, the God Hunter Killer’s eyes betrayed a sense of deep alarm.
Their focus sharpened instantly.
The situation had shifted…
“Luck Golden Lotus!”
This Xie Yushen is truly a troublesome opponent.
Behind the Star Vortex Mask, Fang Hanshu let out a quiet sigh.
It appeared…
This assassination plot was destined to fail.
What a waste of the Underworld's brilliant schemes and intricate maneuvers!
The Luck Golden Lotus…
Judging by the sheer power of that golden pillar, Xie Yushen had likely harnessed two portions of Dajing’s fortune, pushing his strength toward the threshold of the Half-step Divine Realm.
Most critically…
Blessed by such fortune, Xie Yushen had gained the favor of the Heaven and Earth Will. It was as if he were draped in Heavenly Might, making him virtually invincible among those in the Half-step Divine Realm!
He might even be able to endure a few exchanges with a true Divine Tribulation expert.
Although the Underworld Yama had previously struck down Ji Moli’s avatar, however…
That feat was only possible because of a three-way alliance.
Ji Moli was still far from being truly invincible at the Half-step Divine Realm!
This was why Fang Hanshu lamented that the Underworld Yama likely wouldn't be able to finish off Xie Yushen in this encounter.
Furthermore, the Underworld had used Fengdu to drag the Divine Tribulation expert Zhao Beidou into that mysterious city.
That city functioned like a Small Cave Heaven, and it was unclear how long it could hold a man like Zhao Beidou.
Unless a Divine Tribulation was guarding the inside of that city, then…
In less than a hundred breaths, Zhao Beidou would surely shatter a Small Cave Heaven that lacked a Divine Tribulation protector!
It really is a failure…
Fang Hanshu sighed once more beneath his mask.
Yet, he wasn't truly shocked. In the world of assassins, failure was a frequent guest.
He hadn't expected Xie Yushen to be able to pull Dajing’s destiny into his own body, nor that the Emperor would be so bold as to lend such power to a subordinate…
But this also proved the Emperor’s absolute certainty; if he could grant destiny to Xie Yushen, he could just as easily take it back.
The Emperor was using Xie Yushen as a tool to wield destiny, to conquer lands and crush the sects…
“Is he attempting to unify all destiny before the Strange Que’s celestial shift, so he can ascend as the true Master of Humanity?”
Fang Hanshu’s eyes glinted with a dark light.
“But… how could it be that simple!”
“The world consists of more than just the Eleven Divine Sects and the Great Vista… there is the Da Li Royal Court, Wushen Mountain, the Western Regions Buddha Land, the Four Seas Dragon Clan, and the Country of Ten Thousand Demons!”
Fang Hanshu exhaled, pushing those heavy thoughts aside.
Even though he expected the mission to fail, he still did his duty, blocking Gu Qianchi’s path.
The Underworld was at least fighting for the survival of the Qianyuan Divine Sect…
How could he simply walk away?
However, Gu Qianchi was no longer in a rush to attack. Instead, he began to play the role of the obstacle, preventing the Star Vortex God Hunter from assisting the Underworld Yama.
…
…
“Do you understand what is forming behind me?”
“Once this solidifies, I will have effectively entered the Divine Tribulation Realm!”
“This is the ‘Disaster Wheel.’ A Divine Tribulation Cultivator who survives their trials can manifest this wheel behind them. Once it appears, it signifies that the cultivator can strike with their absolute maximum power.”
Xie Yushen spoke with a glowing sense of pride, as if he were lecturing the Underworld Yama.
This was his first experience with such overwhelming power.
He wanted to savor it and was hesitant to end things too quickly, but he knew he couldn't afford a long delay.
Boom——
Lowering his gaze, Xie Yushen took a step forward.
The Luck Golden Lotus spun beneath his feet as he moved.
In a flash, he appeared directly in front of the Underworld Yama.
A golden lotus descended from his palm, aiming to crush the Underworld Yama under a suffocating weight of heavenly might…
“With destiny as my shield, beneath the God Realm… I am without equal!”
“Even if this invincibility lasts only as long as a half-stick of incense, it is still invincibility! Hahahaha!”
Xie Yushen’s laughter rang out boldly.
Under the pressure of the heavens, who could possibly stand against him?
However.
In the very next heartbeat——
Xie Yushen’s laughter was cut short.
He watched in shock as a massive chessboard suddenly materialized beneath the Underworld Yama’s feet.
The chessboard expanded rapidly within the golden light, incredibly tearing through the domain of heavenly might that the Luck Golden Lotus had established!
Xie Yushen found himself trapped within the domain of the chessboard.
Then came…
An agonizing, crushing pressure from Heaven and Earth.
It slammed into him with violent force.
Xie Yushen’s legs buckled, and with a heavy thud…
He was forced to his knees!
He jerked his head up, horrified to feel his "invincible" aura rapidly fading.
It plummeted down, down…
Until it stabilized at the level of a common Absolute Peak expert.
“What?!”
Xie Yushen looked up in disbelief.
And then…
He saw the Underworld Yama clenching his hand into a devastating fist.
Behind the Yama, eight stars erupted with a blinding, magnificent radiance!
“Eight… eight stars?”
Xie Yushen was struck speechless.
“Invincible below the God Realm?”
“I am.”
Boom——!!!
The fist struck!
The golden light surrounding Xie Yushen shattered instantly.
Despite the destiny he carried…
He was blown apart in a spectacular explosion!
