As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1598: 422: Soul Capturing Tribulation's Glimpse of 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...
When space warped briefly.
Zhao Beidou's figure turned into swirling dark clouds, gradually gathering back together.
A grin tugged at Xie Yushen's mouth.
His gaze shifted to Zhao Beidou.
"Grandmaster Zhao... You see, I didn't deceive you?"
"Welcome to the Underworld."
…
…
Rumble——!!!
Along the Grand Canal.
Billowing waves crashed wildly, white froth smashing into each other with explosive force!
In the next instant, the massive form perched in the river's center, bobbing with the tides, abruptly snapped open its eyes.
A pair of razor-sharp dragon horns stabbed through the emptiness like sacred lances.
"This feels off!"
"Zhao Beidou's presence has vanished for a good stretch now…"
The Old Dragon God's eyes widened suddenly, his slit pupils narrowing a bit, shooting out a savage glare.
Bang——!
The waters below erupted, as the Old Dragon God rose to his full height, robes billowing, stepping forward in a blur that spanned vast distances, landing right in the Imperial Court's encampment.
Gu Qianchi, who had been meditating beneath the Array Flag's barrier shielding him from Heaven and Earth Will's detection, creased his brow at the Old Dragon God's raging energy.
He morphed into a streak of sword light, materializing overhead in the camp.
"Dragon God Senior, what's your intention here?"
"Unleashing your power this way disrupts the morale of the court's troops…"
Gu Qianchi clasped his hands behind him, Sword Qi surging upward, his voice grave.
"I'm here to inspect Zhao Beidou, that fellow… his energy's been absent for too long, I suspect he's deserted the fight!"
The Old Dragon God scoffed.
Gu Qianchi went still—how could that be?
After all, he was a Divine Tribulation; even wounded badly, running from the fray didn't make sense.
Yet Gu Qianchi truly couldn't detect Zhao Beidou's presence anymore, shifting his features to unease.
No further talk passed between them, their stares locking onto Zhao Beidou's tent.
Grandmaster Huang Mei was spotted there, watching the entrance.
"Amitabha, the State Preceptor set up a mighty formation to block Hell's Evil from spying, and they're holding a private talk with Grandmaster Zhao right now…"
Grandmaster Huang Mei replied with a gentle smile.
The Old Dragon God narrowed his eyes, not keen on clashing with Grandmaster Huang Mei; if someone from Little Lingyin Temple's Divine Tribulation ranks showed up, he might show respect.
He paid no mind to a Divine Tribulation below One Disaster One Tribulation.
Huang Mei moved out of the path without resistance.
But the tent flap lifted shortly after, as State Preceptor Xie Yushen pocketed four tiny flags, revealing Zhao Beidou's battered energy spilling out clearly…
Gu Qianchi eased his furrowed brow—ah, so that's the case; this sly old serpent wasted our worry over nothing.
Zhao Beidou remained a Divine Tribulation at heart, and as such… he carried the pride of one, so slipping away quietly was impossible.
The Old Dragon God wrinkled his forehead, strode into the tent, and found Zhao Beidou cross-legged on a mat, complexion ashen, his Disaster Wheel steadily leaking Dao Yun.
Spotting the Old Dragon God, Zhao Beidou let out a mocking laugh: "Old Dragon God, who exactly are you insulting?"
"I, Zhao Beidou… even if I perish in combat, I'll never run!"
"Death holds no terror for me!"
The Old Dragon God creased his brow faintly, shot a look at the outraged Zhao Beidou, and sneered with contempt.
"Not afraid of death? Everyone fears death… everyone."
Zhao Beidou observed as the Old Dragon God unleashed his intimidating presence, then pivoted and departed.
A chill surged in his gaze.
"It's almost here…"
"Old serpent, you'll join me soon enough…"
"If I fall first…"
"Then I'm your elder!"
…
…
Once Zhao Beidou had been dismissed, Li Che turned his attention to the Temple God Meat Ball, born from Yellow Sword Wine devouring the Temple God Dao Position Bead.
He paused briefly, then tossed the Dao Yun Divine Crystal from his grasp, sending it flying toward Yellow Sword Wine's Temple God Meat Ball.
Boom——!!!
As the Dao Yun Divine Crystal struck Yellow Sword Wine's Temple God Meat Ball, waves rippled outward, the immense Dao Yun flowing like liquid, endlessly pulled forth…
Gurgle, gurgle…
Swallowing noises resounded without end.
The Dao Yun essence within the Dao Yun Divine Crystal drained away swiftly and voraciously…
Soon enough, just the hollow husk of the Dao Yun Divine Crystal lingered.
With a thud, the Dao Yun Divine Crystal's shell hit the floor, only for Li Che to scoop it up once more.
"Lord… more… more…"
Yellow Sword Wine's fragmented intent shaped into vibrations that transmitted outward.
Sure enough, it was advancing!
"I get you're eager, but hold steady."
Li Che shook his head; he'd only just slain a Divine Tribulation to claim that single One Leaf Dao Yun Divine Crystal, with none left to spare.
Li Che had no clue how many Dao Yun Divine Crystals Yellow Sword Wine needed to evolve into a full Temple God…
Thus, his craving for more Dao Yun Divine Crystals could only find relief in the coming Qi Tian City.
Positioned where Inner Mysterious Que met Earth Deceit Que, Qi Tian City…
Might offer a shot at securing Dao Yun Divine Crystals?
Sensing the Temple God Meat Ball of Yellow Sword Wine pulsing with greater might…
A spark of anticipation flickered in Li Che's eyes.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Mo City's downpour hammered relentlessly, resembling pitch-black holy spears that stabbed across the skies and lands, laden with a heavy, somber pressure!
Li Che fiddled with the depleted Dao Yun Divine Crystal, tracing the patterns of its leaf veins.
Faintly, through one leaf's vision, Li Che perceived a horrifying ancient tree withering away, rotting, crumbling…
Its massive trunk snapping, countless leaves drifting down in a whispering cascade.
Thump thump thump—
All at once, Li Che's gaze wavered, as from his torso came a thunderous rhythm like a celestial deity pounding war drums before battle, rippling outward in waves, slamming fiercely!
Boom—!!!
Unseen shockwaves, centered on Li Che's frame, exploded in a frenzy, surging everywhere!
The Qi-Blood in his veins surged uncontrollably, boiling over!
Li Che held back no longer, fully releasing the restraints!
Bang—!!!
Vast amounts of Qi-Blood burst from his every pore, manifesting as illusions of a mighty Divine Dragon and colossal Giant Elephant, looming a hundred feet high, rampaging through Mo City Fengdu!
Fiercely burning Qi-Blood intertwined, forming streams of ethereal Immortal Energy, coiling serpentine around the Divine Dragon and Giant Elephant!
Li Che's pitch-black locks whipped about madly, myriad raindrops vaporizing on contact, instantly turning into a foggy dark haze that cloaked all of Mo City!
"It's complete!"
Li Che's eyes flicked open and shut, gleaming brilliantly in a heartbeat.
Braving the gale and storm, his gaze erupted with golden vapors like lightning, thrashing wildly!
His flesh turned utterly clear and radiant, each bit of muscle, each patch of skin, every acupoint overflowing with blazing Qi-Blood, warping the nearby void against its will!
Within his thoughts, the clash with Zhao Beidou replayed over and over.
"Exhale—"
"Inhale—"
Right then, even absent the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit's Instant Enlightenment Feedback, Li Che felt heavenly guidance.
His backbone curved like a coiling dragon, spinning Qi-Blood eddies, until the eighth enormous Qi-Blood vortex burst into being!
Li Che roared toward the heavens, his jet-black, lustrous mane lashing like bolts!
Fists balling tight, his palms shifted through mudras, drilling moves on Mo City's barren expanse.
His stare burned fierce, thoughts churning like a tempest!
Boom—!!!
Palms fanned out, executing sealing arts, thrusting forward with audacity—in a blink, radiant golden Qi-Blood poured forth ceaselessly, morphing into a glorious golden blaze Qilin that charged and stomped the emptiness!
The Qilin's mighty cry rang like heavenly fortune arriving, reverberating across Mo City.
Along his spine, the eighth Qi-Blood vortex swelled further!
The din resembled an ocean whipped into a maelstrom!
Li Che's whole backbone popped and cracked, the Martial Immortal Golden Body pushed to its limits, sinews and skeleton humming, muscles quaking!
Yet even igniting the eighth Qimen Immortal Seed's power was bearable.
The Immortal Seed's boosting force fell well within tolerance.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—
Li Che appeared as a fireball of searing light, igniting amid twisting, warping, hazy atmosphere.
Jaws parting.
Scorching Qi blasts tumbled free, carving furrows in the air that resisted mending!
Immortal Seed!
Qilin Suppressing Seal, Minor Accomplishment!
Through the fight with the Divine Tribulation, plus this instant's Dao Fruit evolution feedback!
This profoundly intricate and tough Immortal Seed Martial Art leaped from beginner stage into Minor Accomplishment!
Swish swash—
Qi-Blood flowed like surging waves.
Li Che's cheeks burned crimson, his thick veins bulging like coiling Jiao Dragons across the fearsome Martial Immortal Golden Body in that moment.
In his hearing, a detonation boomed without cease, as if slumbering deities would stir awake!
Like ancient bells in frosted mountains, tolled by sky gods, their echoes filling the cosmos!
A searing tide welled in his core.
With a pulse, golden radiance seeped slowly.
Li Che sensed only a colossal force barreling at him!
