Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Crack! Crack—!!!
High above the celestial vault, heavy clouds swirled as thunder boomed and a blizzard roared!
The Grand Canal’s tides surged violently, throwing up waves that resembled crashing avalanches.
Hand-sized snowflakes drifted down from the obsidian cloud layers, accompanied by the blast of winter thunder echoing from the heavens.
As the most expansive man-made waterway within the Dajing Border, it was steeped in the divinity of countless enigmatic temples; every drop of its water hummed with divine power. Because of this, the great river remained unfrozen even amidst the most brutal frost and heavy snowfall.
Warships crafted from nine-layered Profound Iron Spirit Wood belonging to the Imperial court were moored by the banks, their massive chains encased in ice and draped with icicles.
Yet, as the river water slammed into the hulls—which were etched with terrifying and ferocious patterns—it churned into a frenzy of violent whitecaps.
Hidden beneath the surface of the river.
A colossal shadow lurked, dwarfing the warships themselves. Vaguely visible through the flickering light of heaven and earth, this overwhelming presence stretched over ten zhang along the riverbed.
In truth, ten zhang was merely its size while its form was suppressed; should it unleash its full power, its length could span a hundred zhang, or even a thousand!
This gargantuan creature was a peak powerhouse of the Dragon God Clan—the Dragon God Crown Prince!
He held the ninth rank on the Heavenly Gate list of the Great Supervising Minister.
Rumble—!!!
Suddenly, for reasons unknown, the river erupted into booming waves as white foam rolled and scorching streams of air surged from the depths.
In the murky darkness of the river bottom, countless aquatic plants writhed and twisted.
Then, enormous draconic eyes snapped open, radiating a brilliant light.
"You are..."
"Bull Demon?!"
The Dragon God Crown Prince’s heart jolted as his eyes widened!
The Netherworld Ox Demon?!
Why was the Netherworld Ox Demon standing before him?
What was his objective?
"Did not Zhao Beidou, the Divine Tribulation Cultivator, claim... that he had slaughtered every fierce entity in the underworld?"
Hadn't even the primary stronghold of the underworld, the Fengdu City Small Cave Heaven, been annihilated by him?
How could the Netherworld Ox Demon suddenly manifest here?
The Crown Prince stared at the figure ahead; the stranger stood with arms crossed, his black hair thrashing in the current like dark lightning, shattering the water into a fine mist. He was a towering silhouette.
Just by floating there, his boiling, scorching Qi-blood exerted a heavy pressure, as if the phantom of a true dragon and elephant stood behind the Bull Demon, gazing down at a mere loach.
The Dragon God Crown Prince’s mind raced to keep up, but a staggering sense of crisis caused his scales to flare, as if intense heat were erupting from within.
His massive draconic frame prepared to strike.
However...
The Bull Demon, as immovable as a mountain peak, slowly reached out and pressed his palm firmly onto the dragon’s head.
His five fingers tightened!
Nine cords of ferocious, trembling Angry Dragon muscles rippled across the Bull Demon’s wide back. Terrifying power detonated, and blood as dense as mercury surged through his veins!
Boom—!!!
Countless water currents disintegrated instantly.
Simultaneously, a portal as black as ink manifested behind the Bull Demon.
With a mere flick of his wrist, the Dragon God Crown Prince’s massive body was swung with brute force. He was violently flung into the gaping portal, which stood silently like a tear the Netherworld had ripped into the mortal realm.
The portal, resembling a famished nightmare, opened its maw and entirely consumed the Dragon God Crown Prince’s immense divinity.
In the distance.
The three dormant Dragon Sons were startled awake instantly!
The moment the Dragon God Crown Prince’s presence vanished, they snapped out of their slumber.
Yet upon waking, they were met with the Bull Demon’s ruthless assault. With a single stride that carved a vacuum in the water, he began dragging them. He hurled the Dragon Sons one after another like projectiles, one in each hand. The overwhelming strength left these Dragon Sons powerless to resist as they were forcibly swallowed by the gates of Mo City Fengdu.
Above the river’s surface, a Heaven and Earth chessboard manifested silently, masking their desperate struggles so that not a single breath of their aura escaped.
On the riverbank.
Inside the Imperial army camp.
Gu Qianchi was meditating within a Divine Talisman Array to hide from the detection of the Heaven and Earth Will’s Three Calamities. Beside him, the recovering Zhao Beidou and he both felt a vague disturbance in their Heaven and Earth Souls.
It was the instinctive premonition of an approaching crisis.
However, when the two opened their eyes and scanned with their Heaven and Earth Souls, they found nothing out of the ordinary.
The world was still; the snowstorm raged on, and the river continued its flow.
...
...
Mo City, Fengdu!
Whish—!!!
Even though Mo City had not been fully restored to its peak state, the shattered space and cracked earth had already mended, and its defensive strength had reached a new height!
Rumble!
A thunderous roar erupted, causing all of Mo City to tremble slightly. The rainwater pooled on the ground was instantly jolted into the air, bursting into massive sprays.
The Dragon God Crown Prince’s ten-zhang body coiled and thrashed against the ground.
"Roar—!!!"
A piercing dragon cry exploded as his massive Qi-blood and demon energy clashed violently.
The Dragon God Crown Prince was consumed by a mix of shock and unbridled rage!
A light began to glow within his belly; it was the Dragon Emperor Pearl being fully energized, casting a brilliant radiance.
The Dragon God Crown Prince’s aura surged upward, instantly eclipsing the strength of a top-level peak and reaching the realm of a half-step Dragon God!
