As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1600 - 423: Dao Fruit 5th Transformation Tribulation, Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame; Emperor Xi Xi at Age 7 Seeks to Slay a Martial Saint...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
The well-known space housed the enigmatic Dao Tree, towering upwards into the sky, appearing ready to shatter the cloud layers in an instant!
Its branches spread out abundantly, leaves resembling tiny scales.
The known space, the known Dao Tree—despite the familiarity, its return and fresh examination still delivered boundless astonishment. Could a vegetation like this really thrive amid heaven and earth?
Li Che's eyes scanned around, quickly spotting the [Dragon Elephant Vajra] suspended from the Dao Tree, far bigger than the rest of the Dao Fruits.
A immense radiance emanated from the Dao Fruit, swinging softly.
Curiosity filled Li Che as he pondered the alterations this Dao Fruit's evolution would unleash this round?
Previously, during the lv6 upgrade, the Dao Fruit discarded its outer layer and gave rise to the Dao Guide, a profoundly arcane event from which Li Che reaped huge gains.
But now?
He couldn't tell, speculation proved futile.
Li Che opted against pondering, merely anticipating the Dao Fruit's response.
Boom——!!!
All at once.
The [Dragon Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruit dangling from the Dao Tree abruptly burst forth with infinite light amid a resounding "boom"!
That light stretched endlessly and swiftly wrapped around Li Che's consciousness.
Right after...
Li Che sensed the view in front of him warping and shifting.
It felt like his whole existence was ascending to immortality, while simultaneously plunging into infinite emptiness, wandering without direction.
Seven-hued glassy splendor kept revolving near him.
A vision gradually revealed itself ahead, pulling him right into its midst.
Within the vision.
A mighty river surged ceaselessly, thundering and growling as it coursed through the vast shadowy expanse, battling to preserve the glow.
Atop that river, a silhouette positioned itself against the perpetual gloom, roaring with savage intensity!
Li Che's pupils contracted a bit, as though viewing from outside the cosmos, witnessing that silhouette erupting with colossal and dreadful blood energy—each segment seemingly forming roaring Dragon Elephants; every pore, every acupoint, every cell housed a Dragon Elephant!
The figure resembled an utterly fearsome savage creature!
Standing upon the river, its form appeared diminutive, yet it stirred a dread surpassing the world itself.
The formidable blood energy fused with wild fury, morphing into streams of force that lashed across the skies and lands, striking the shadows and nothingness into ceaseless explosions!
What could that be...
Li Che's gaze tightened faintly.
Even with his potent Martial Immortal Golden Body, it quivered just then, a pressure from the source assaulting every facet of strength and soul!
Boom——!!!
All of a sudden.
The silhouette on what resembled the Tianhe flung open its eyes.
Dazzling golden beams, as if bridging the heavens, emptiness, and ancient chaos, surged forward majestically, clashing against Li Che's inquisitive stare.
"You... who are you?"
"A successor? Then... I did fall in the end."
"Nine Dao Fruit Transformations, forever out of reach..."
Rumble!!!
Those three phrases struck like the collapse of vast voids!
As if a limitless tempest raged wildly, obliterating all in its path!
Like how ordinary folk mustn't catch the godly echoes.
In a flash, Li Che's mind and spirit pulled back from the vision, even departing the expansive Dao Tree realm.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh——
Gasping heavily, Li Che's eyes bulged wide, pupils shrinking to pinpoints.
A searing blaze, like molten fire, threatened to liquefy his vital organs, bones, and every bit of flesh and blood.
His Martial Immortal Golden Body right now endured a strain similar to igniting eight Qimen Divine Seeds.
Skin, blood, acupoints, meridians, bones...
Every part throbbed with infinite agony!
Still, Li Che held his eyes open, shock and confusion etched deeply in them.
"That individual... was he the former bearer of the Dragon Elephant Dao Fruit?"
"Hold on, did he wield the Dragon Elephant Dao Fruit, or cultivate the Dao Tree itself?"
Li Che's mind churned with massive waves, not from the foe's immense might, but due to...
Even in that brief sight, he detected the essence of Dao Fruit on the other.
That vision could have been a lingering echo from the river of time.
And that one might have been the past owner of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit?
The Dao Fruit's proprietor?!
The other appeared to have elevated the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit to its peak, each move carrying the force to shatter the cosmos.
Such a powerful entity...
Truly inspiring reverence!
Yet Li Che felt more stunned by... the phrases the other spoke, echoing like sacred divine incantations.
Nine Dao Fruit Transformations, forever out of reach?
Implying...
The Dao Fruit... possesses nine transformations?
And even that entity couldn't achieve them all?!
Thus, this grand powerhouse met defeat and death?!
As he gradually nurtures the Dao Fruit through transformations, is he following in the footsteps of this Dao Fruit Master?
"No... no, that's incorrect... he possessed just one Dao Fruit, while I have... several..."
Li Che grew a bit disoriented.
The connection linking the Dao Fruit, Dao Tree, and his daughter concealed a profound mystery.
In Mo City.
Rain cascaded in thick sheets.
Li Che lingered in Mo City, his breaths deep and forceful like a wild beast's; he steadied his feelings, extending his limbs. Fueled by the Dao Fruit's evolution, his evolved form exploded with fearsome strength, winds howling nearby, his dark hair crackling with sharp pops!
