As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1595 - 422: Soul Capturing Tribulation Reveals the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Unprecedented Dragon Elephant Vajra Level 7
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Woo hoo hoo hoo——
The gale howls without end, pulverizing the masonry of Mo City Fengdu. Shards of stone tumble incessantly, their scraping echoes reverberating between the heavens and the earth.
Bang bang bang——!
A heart thunders with tremendous force, each beat an explosion like winter lightning hidden behind thick clouds, completely impossible to restrain!
Driven by this rhythmic pounding, the blood within the body surges violently, racing through the veins like high-pressure water through a narrow pipe!
Li Che’s gaze is piercingly intense. He watches with fervent anticipation as he attempts the Soul Capturing of his first Divine Tribulation Cultivator. This step is pivotal for his future arrangements, as this soul could potentially become his most formidable combat asset!
Naturally, he places immense value on the successful birth of this specific Soul Capturing.
Furthermore, because Li Che’s own Cultivation has only reached the Four-Open Martial Saint rank, a shred of doubt remains regarding whether he can truly seize a Divine Tribulation soul.
Fortunately, Zhao Beidou was merely a One Disaster One Tribulation Realm Soul; Li Che would have far less confidence attempting this against a One Calamity and Two Tribulations Realm expert.
Li Che’s physical form is exceptionally sturdy. Golden Qi-Blood erupts from his thirty-six thousand pores like a thick mist, swirling upward like the lingering coils of Jiaoshe smoke.
Resembling a God or a Demon, he exudes a terrifying aura, harmonizing with low-pitched incantations that seem to drift from the deepest reaches of the Netherworld.
Under this pressure, time itself within Mo City Fengdu appears to have frozen solid!
“Soul Return!”
With his five fingers splayed wide, he aims his palm toward Zhao Beidou’s cold, lifeless remains.
Soul Capturing!
A resonant sound, akin to the rhythmic chanting of an ancient priest across a desolate wasteland during a ritual, swings open the gates to beckon the departed. It is a call to drag the dead back from the Netherworld!
Rumble——
A bone-chilling frost descends in an instant!
In the following breath, the rattling of frigid chains pierces the air. One after another, they echo with enough force to seemingly shatter the fabric of space.
Gradually, the atmosphere at the heart of Mo City collapses and tears, manifesting an unfathomably deep black hole—vast, boundless, and dark!
The bottom of this void is nowhere to be seen!
Within it, cold chains entwine with strands that are simultaneously fiery and icy, fusing two diametrically opposed powers!
The far end of these chains appears to be shackled to a blurred, hazy form.
From within the fractured void, an aura as thick as ink continuously spills out from a dark sphere. Slowly, this ink-black mass writhes and shifts, gradually taking the shape of a man...
Amidst the clatter of chains, a Daoist robe adorned with Dragon and Tiger embroidery begins to flutter. The ink-black darkness rolls forward with unstoppable momentum; the figure fills out, yet its face remains a blank, featureless void.
Li Che’s eyes narrow slightly. He observes the Soul Capturing as it struggles to manifest a head, yet it remains unable to form actual facial features, as if the soul were being gripped by some overwhelming external force!
“As expected... another anomaly has surfaced!”
“The Netherworld?”
Li Che’s eyes flicker with thought as he lifts his hand to touch his Brow Niwan.
Instantly, skin and flesh part to reveal a brilliant burst of golden light. It shines forth like a focused beam, erupting into a magnificent cross-shaped golden gemstone.
Divine Power: Star-Picking Eyes!
Endless Analysis—Peering through Illusion to reach the Truth!
Under the enhanced perception of the Star-Picking Eyes, Li Che stares into the seemingly ruptured void. He looks past the ink-like silhouette of Zhao Beidou...
Boom——!!!
In a flash, as if scarlet lightning had struck, the Tongyou Divine Ability is triggered. Suddenly, Li Che perceives a city bathed in the glow of crimson streaming light!
It is massive and without end, anchored within the Netherworld. Vast and majestic, scarlet dust rises slowly from its streets, carried by a phantom wind!
From atop that city, chains descend one by one. With a metallic clang, they wrap around Zhao Beidou’s spectral form!
The entire world falls into a deathly hush.
“Uh——”
Accompanied by a low, guttural moan, Li Che’s Star-Picking Eyes sweep across the scene. On the city’s high tower, he spots a form bound as tightly as a cocoon by those very chains.
That is...
Li Che’s pupils instinctively contract.
It is Zhao Beidou’s true soul!
And standing behind it is a figure encased in full armor, clutching the other end of the chain. This entity stands upon the tower, crunching loudly as it gnaws on blood-stained bones.
As if it felt the gaze of the Star-Picking Eyes, the figure slowly turns its head...
Bang!!!
Li Che’s Star-Picking Eyes vision snaps shut instantly.
The world returns to the clarity of Qingming.
“A blood-red city gate deep within the Netherworld?”
Li Che’s brow knits together. He remembers a similar phenomenon occurring when he captured Yue Huanglong. Back then, he had only heard Yue Huanglong’s description of it.
But this time, he has witnessed it with his own eyes.
“Does this world truly possess the six paths of reincarnation? Is there a real Netherworld for rebirth?”
If he persists in seizing souls, will he eventually collide with the actual reincarnation cycle and the Netherworld of this realm? Is this a case of the Underworld meeting the Underworld?!
Inexplicably, a heavy pressure weighs upon Li Che’s heart.
He pauses to reflect for a moment.
Should he stop? Should he abandon the Soul Capturing?
No! That is impossible!
He must capture it; there is no other choice!
Why should he not claim the souls of the enemies he has slain with his own strength?!
Li Che’s eyes burn with a brilliant light. His determination solidifies instantly, and he casts all hesitation aside. Splaying his five fingers, he summons the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod. The rod shifts into a razor-sharp blade, which he thrusts violently into the faceless head of the Soul Capturing.
