As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1554: 413: Qian Yuan Divine Sect Is Not the Equal Heaven Temple of Old, Eight Gates Open and Gods Dance Their Last in the Human World
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
The commanders remained silent after hearing his declaration. To them, launching an assault on a Divine Sect was no different from any other siege; they gave little thought to such distinctions.
In contrast, Gu Qianchi’s brow furrowed in confusion. He was puzzled by the hidden meaning in Xie Yushen’s words. Attacking a different Divine Sect?
Who would be the target?
While a clear justification existed to strike the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, what pretext could be used against the others?
Presently, among the various Divine Sects that refused to submit to the Imperial Court, the Qian Yuan Divine Sect was viewed as the most vulnerable target...
Would it be the South Sea Bamboo Forest? The Small Lingyin Temple of Xiling? Or perhaps... the Heavenly Master Dao Purple Mansion Divine Sect?!
Each of those Divine Sects possessed far greater power than the Qian Yuan Divine Sect!
“Venerable Zhao Beidou was abducted by the Underworld through some strange technique... I wonder what his current status is?”
Gu Qianchi stopped dwelling on the court's strategy; as long as the imperial banners never marched upon the Bashu Sword Pavilion, he was satisfied.
Only then did his thoughts drift to Zhao Beidou.
Even so, he wasn't particularly anxious. Zhao Beidou was a Divine Tribulation expert, after all. How could a master of the Divine Tribulation realm fall so easily?
Qianyuan Dao City.
Snow drifted lazily through the atmosphere.
Atop the city battlements, countless figures stood like statues.
The Qiankun plaque ascended into the heavens, piercing the void to reveal the figure of Grandmaster Qian Yuan, Lv Qiankun.
“What a shame...”
With his sharp perception, Lv Qiankun had witnessed Xie Yushen utilizing the power of the Luck Golden Lotus to survive the Underworld’s assassination attempt.
Had that strike succeeded in killing Xie Yushen, the Imperial Court would have been forced to retreat, granting the Qian Yuan Divine Sect a temporary reprieve...
Sensing nothing more, Lv Qiankun retreated into the Small Cave Heaven within the Qiankun plaque, silently guarding the mountain gate.
Meanwhile, Feng Zhiqi, Hong Shifu, and their companions—who had originally set out to observe the clash—returned to Qianyuan Dao City. As the Luck Golden Lotus flared, signaling the failed assassination, they immediately began preparing for the coming war.
A heavy, stifling atmosphere weighed on everyone’s spirit.
The pressure was as suffocating as a collapsing mountain!
Under the shadow of the imperial army, no one dared to rest. Everyone pushed themselves to their limits, desperate to increase their strength before the inevitable slaughter began.
Feng Zhiqi exhaled deeply. Though he had recently reached the Martial Saint Four Transformations realm and felt a surge of pride, he now felt painfully inadequate.
There was no time for laziness; he had to grow stronger, for his fate was now inextricably linked to the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
If the Sect fell, he would surely be swept away in the ruin.
He turned his gaze toward the Divine Sect Mountain Gate, his eyes burning with intensity.
Lv Taibai was currently in secluded Cultivation, attempting to break through his current realm. Would he be successful?
Even with a successful breakthrough, would it be enough?
Pitting a single sect against the might of the entire Imperial Court was an exhausting prospect.
After all, the Qian Yuan Divine Sect...
Was no longer the formidable Equal Heaven Temple of ancient times!
Boom——!!!
The foundations of Mo City shook violently as devastating collisions erupted repeatedly!
The earth split and mountains crumbled into dust!
Vast canyons tore through the floor of Mo City, with scorching steam hissing from the depths of the abyss.
Boom!
The ground caved in to form a massive crater as a hand made of bone-white flames slammed down. A figure erupted with a terrifying surge of Qi and blood that pierced the sky, creating a sonic boom that sent shockwaves rippling through the air!
“Is running all you can do?”
Zhao Beidou hovered in the sky, his voice freezing and his eyes filled with a murderous glint.
He sneered as he tracked the movements of the fleeing Underworld Yama.
Despite the Yama’s peerless physical Cultivation and martial talent, he was still far too fragile when faced with the might of the White Netherworld Tribulation Fire.
If Zhao Beidou caught him just once, he could utterly obliterate this insect.
“This Small Cave Heaven... is reaching its breaking point.”
Zhao Beidou’s eyes scanned the ruins of Mo City. Not a single structure remained standing, and the ground was a web of cracks. The space itself was on the verge of shattering.
If the fight persisted, the Small Cave Heaven might fail to contain the energy and explode.
Suddenly, Zhao Beidou felt a desire to preserve the space.
If the realm collapsed, the Underworld Yama might find a chaotic window of opportunity to slip away and survive.
As Zhao Beidou began to pull back some of his Tribulation Fire,
Li Che’s eyes ignited with a golden radiance. He braced himself as the ground gave way beneath his feet.
He snapped his head up, his golden eyes overflowing with an indomitable fighting spirit.
A fierce, wild aura of battle surged from Li Che’s heart!
He slammed his palms together with a thunderous clap.
Deep within his chest, the [Lei-Ci Dao Body] Dao Fruit began to pulse frantically!
Vast quantities of black-gold lightning erupted like coiling dragons and serpents. Amidst the crumbling mountains and splitting earth, the bolts wove into a Prison Thunder Sky Net, locking down the space around Zhao Beidou.
“What?!”
“Shenxiao Thunder?!”
Zhao Beidou’s expression shifted, a hint of shock coloring his features.
This Underworld Yama actually commanded the power of the Shenxiao Thunder tribulation?
“However, it is far too weak...”
The potency of this Shenxiao Thunder was insufficient.
Watching the Prison Thunder Sky Net close in like a cage, Zhao Beidou let out a soft laugh. He tightened his fist, and the pale White Netherworld Tribulation Fire instantly condensed into a sharp blade, slashing outward.
He intended to tear through the lightning seal!
Suddenly,
A chill ran down Zhao Beidou’s spine.
The Underworld Yama he had been hunting relentlessly suddenly flickered and vanished the moment his body straightened!
Li Che, hidden behind his black-and-white Yama mask, stood with his robes shredded. His exposed skin glowed like polished gold, revealing a flawless Horizontal Refining Body.
As the Prison Thunder Sky Net occupied Zhao Beidou, Li Che raised a finger and tapped his own forehead.
The Heaven and Earth chessboard expanded, enveloping the world.
It was as if a Heaven and Earth Soul had just placed a decisive piece upon the board.
