As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1584 - 419: Once a Flying Thunder Mud Legs Martial Saint at Fourth Awakening, Today Stands Atop the Mountain Gazing Down on All Others [Monthly Ticket Requested]...

"Grandmaster Zhao, this matter is of the utmost importance."
The Old Dragon God’s expression darkened immediately upon hearing those words. His armor clattered as he swept his sleeve, casting a cold, displeased look toward Zhao Beidou.
"A worthless waste."
Zhao Beidou had been enjoying Xie Yushen’s sycophancy, but his face twisted the moment the Old Dragon God spat out that insult.
"I truly hope that when the Old Dragon God faces the frantic, desperate onslaught of the Underworld Yama, he can maintain such a confident tone. My survival was purely a matter of fortune."
"The Underworld is a force that must not be taken lightly," Zhao Beidou declared with a heavy, serious tone.
The Old Dragon God shook his head, his gaze burning with ferocity. "My time is running out. I will grant you one more month. If your wounds have not healed by then, I will... execute you myself!"
The Old Dragon God’s threat was laced with pure malice.
This was a man who had dared to trade blows with the founding Grand Ancestor of the Great Vista! Many years ago, that Grand Ancestor had risen to power amidst the blood-soaked chaos of Central Earth, seizing the throne with the support of countless noble clans. That rise was paved with corpses, yet the Old Dragon God had fought the Emperor and lived to tell the tale.
Such a history was proof enough of his violent temperament and overwhelming Cultivation.
With a cold snort, Zhao Beidou flicked his sleeve and retreated. The Old Dragon God remained, his icy gaze fixed upon the surface of the Grand Canal, looking toward Qianyuan Taoist City...
His eyes narrowed as his snowy hair and beard danced in the wind. That once towering frame now appeared slightly bent, as if burdened by age. His days... were indeed coming to an end.
He had to seize the Qian Yuan Divine Sect quickly to secure a territory for his kin.
Rumble!
The great river let out a thunderous roar. Time was a luxury he no longer possessed!
...
...
Through the Heaven and Earth chessboard, Li Che sensed that the Old Dragon God had entered the Grandmaster’s Small Cave Heaven and emerged unscathed. His heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
The fact that the Old Dragon God could move in and out so freely was a terrifying display of his power. Usually, when a Divine Tribulation expert enters the Small Cave Heaven of another, they are fighting on hostile territory and are naturally suppressed. Yet, even under such disadvantageous conditions, the Old Dragon God came and went as he pleased. This suggested that in terms of sheer strength, he was likely a level above Lv Qiankun.
In the Realm of One Disaster and Two Tribulations, he had perhaps reached the absolute peak!
It had to be said, the Old Dragon’s combat prowess was truly extraordinary. Li Che’s eyes sharpened; though his heart was shaken, his gaze burned with an even deeper desire. This only confirmed his resolve: the Old Dragon was the perfect candidate to serve as the primary fiend for the Ten Fierce Brushwork!
However, with his current level of Cultivation, slaying the Dragon God would be a daunting task. The Old Dragon God’s power clearly eclipsed that of Zhao Beidou.
In the outside world, the threat of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations and the Will of Heaven and Earth forced Divine Tribulation experts to restrain themselves, making the gap in their power less obvious. But within the sanctuary of a Small Cave Heaven, where one can avoid the tribulations, the difference between One Disaster, Two Tribulations and One Disaster, One Tribulation was like the gap between a Martial Saint’s Second Opening and the First Level. It was a total suppression of realms.
Therefore, Li Che had to be meticulous in his planning to take down the Old Dragon God.
Just as the Old Dragon God intended to crush the Qian Yuan Divine Sect before departing for Qi Tian City, Li Che intended to seal the Old Dragon God within the Ten Fierce Beasts Map before his own journey to Qi Tian City began.
Most importantly, the Old Dragon God possessed demon energy far more potent than that of the Dragon God Crown Prince. Such power would be a massive boon for the [Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons] Dao Fruit, potentially allowing his Divine Skill, the Demon Immortal Nine Revolutions, to reach the Second Transformation.
Li Che sat in his study, perched upon his chair. His stomach began to churn as he crushed a martial arts pill, releasing a torrential wave of medicinal essence that flooded his flesh!
Li Che’s eyes ignited with a brilliant light. After a long period of accumulation and secluded meditation, the fruits of his labor were finally ready to be harvested!
The aura surrounding his body began to boil violently, and the air within the room erupted into a swirling vortex. Even with the Slumbering Dragon Elephant technique working to suppress it, his presence continued to climb and expand with unstoppable force!
Deep within his chest, the [Dragon Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruit began to throb frantically, as if it were anticipating the coming storm of Qi-blood!
He took the final Heavenly Martial Pill that Gu Changqing had refined for him and placed it in his mouth. With a sharp bite, the elixir shattered, and he swallowed it down.
The terrifying medicinal essence surged forth, slamming into his Meridians and flesh, transforming into a roaring tide of Qi-blood and essence! Li Che’s eyes flashed like stars. The Heaven and Earth chessboard expanded over the courtyard, sealing off all external perception and prying eyes!
Li Che began his final charge. His aura intensified step by step, sounding like a Heavenly God beating war drums in a rhythmic, thunderous cadence. His entire abdomen seemed to turn into a blazing furnace of extreme rigidity and Yang! Divine Fire roared, refining the medicinal essence as his Qi-blood boiled and surged through his limbs. His will, standing at the very peak of Martial Arts, crashed against an invisible barrier at the summit!
Thump, thump—
Thump, thump, thump—!!!
It was as if his very soul was headbutting that transparent wall, causing a web of fine cracks to spread across the surface! He was at the Martial Saint Triple Opening, the Mountain Climbing Path... having scaled tens of thousands of feet to reach the very top!
Thump, thump, thump—
The collisions were violent, sounding like a Divine Bell being struck with immense force atop a snowy mountain temple, its echoes vibrating through the mortal realm. These waves of sound washed through Li Che’s entire body, purifying his physical form and purging every last impurity from his flesh once more!
Whoosh—
Suddenly, as Li Che sat perfectly still, the chair beneath him crumbled into fine dust. The overwhelming aura that had been radiating from him slowly vanished, and the surging heat and rampaging winds subsided into a profound silence.
