As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1607: 424: Emperor Xi Xi's Divine Talisman Mushroom Formation, Let Us Old Folks Stay Out of the Children's Fight [Monthly Ticket Requested]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Thanks to her abundance of Divine Crystals and the boost from Flat Peaches, Xi Xi had advanced to the late stage of the God Phase, now focusing on forming her Primordial Spirit to push toward Elemental Appearance.
Achieving Elemental Appearance would leave Xi Xi certain she could ascend to the Divine Origin Realm.
Xi Xi had made it her modest ambition to reach the Divine Origin Realm before her eighth birthday.
God Phase by six, Divine Origin by eight... that sounds perfectly sensible.
Rumble!
The fierce gales that had burst out abruptly pulled back, unleashing a massive whirlwind that spun wildly.
Gradually, billowing smoke and debris clashed intensely, while the fires began to fade into view.
Xi Xi extended her fingers fully, and right away, a Purple Flame Serpentine Spear materialized in her grasp, held firm.
Her gaze narrowed, qi-blood thundering through her frame as it boiled over, her free hand clutching the God-beating Gold Brick.
BOOM—!!!
All at once, a thunderous bellow of rage resounded.
A tremendous surge of qi-blood blasted outward with overwhelming force, slicing like a massive cleaver and even parting the billows in half!
“Huff huff huff huff—”
The labored breaths boomed like suppressed thunderclaps.
Amid the endless blaze, the terrain lay in total devastation, five enormous craters yawning open right in the middle.
The acrid scent of char hung heavy in the air.
A silhouette, completely charred black, its flesh seared beyond recognition, resembling cracked pottery.
Gu Chuan staggered unsteadily, spewing fresh blood.
His gaze turned savagely intense...
He, a proud Martial Saint, had been pummeled into this sorry shape by a mere seven-year-old girl, mechanisms or not—it was utterly humiliating!
A chill of dread lingered in Gu Chuan...
Five mushroom clouds erupted skyward, carrying devastating destructive might and a horrifying divine force that nearly wiped him out.
Without detonating his Human Pill fully to fend off the relentless divine corrosion using his Martial Saint Yuan Gang,
Moreover, by gulping down the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect's banned elixir without a second thought.
Which twisted his flesh and blood, ramping up his strength through wild mutation...
That's how he just managed to hold on; otherwise...
He'd be gone by now, a Martial Saint slain by a seven-year-old, the ultimate joke across the lands!
“Little brat—!!!”
“You deserve to die!”
Gu Chuan bellowed, his hair scorched away completely, and from the forbidden drug, his form warped and ballooned grotesquely, flesh bloating in unnatural ways, stripping away any human resemblance!
Like a horrifying beast!
Gu Chuan sensed the drug's potency waning fast; he had to finish Xi Xi quickly, or else...
When the effects wore off, he'd plunge into crippling frailty.
Then...
Death awaited!
His legs coiled, dropping into a crouch with explosive power, in that instant, plumes of smoke burst and dispersed, the mushroom clouds' haze and glow shattered by the onrushing qi-blood!
Gu Chuan launched himself skyward, enveloped in dense, turbulent ferocity that roared fiercely.
A pair of limbs sprouted from his shoulders, granting him four limbs total, flailing madly, rippling with grotesque, bulging sinews.
The atmosphere kept rupturing!
High above at thousands of feet, Gu Chuan materialized with velocity nearing a sonic crack, streaking upward in a blur.
His malevolent crimson qi-blood churned like an ocean swell, seemingly endlessly provoked, every strand pulsing with eerie vitality.
Such was the backlash from ingesting the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect's painstakingly crafted taboo remedy; the enlivened qi-blood would gnaw at the frame, ravage the tissues...
And vie for bodily supremacy against its host.
In the clash of wills with the qi-blood's awareness, the original mind would slowly fade.
Yet the immense power it bestowed was beyond question!
All Martial Saints from the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect carried this prohibited tonic from their faction.
Only if the foe proved overwhelmingly mighty to prevent ingestion would they hold back; swallowing it signaled all-out mortal combat.
Gu Changqing perished far too abruptly and unexpectedly, felled by ambush, leaving no chance to take the forbidden medicine...
Xi Xi's face shifted subtly as she eyed Gu Chuan materializing in front of her.
Beads of perspiration dotted her brow.
The enemy's blistering, torrent-like, manic qi-blood.
Intensified her burden tremendously.
Martial Saints... truly tough to eliminate!
Even after Emperor Xi Xi's Mushroom Formation unleashed such a barrage, he endured!
Had it been Zhang Yuanlong during the Chulong Victory Conference, surrender to the Temple God or not, he'd have perished!
Dark, contorted, deranged intent flickered across Gu Chuan's features.
His maw gaped in a howl, the colossal fiend ballooning to three meters, jet-black all over, laced with ominous crimson veins, every vessel throbbing and engorged!
Fingers splayed out, each like a heavenly lance, lunging viciously for Xi Xi's throat.
Aiming to seize her!
Yet Xi Xi moved nimbly, the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel whirled furiously, sparks flying everywhere, hauling her form away in a hasty evasion.
The atmosphere imploded right then, torrents of wind rushing to fill the void.
Gu Chuan's seething blood flared as if set ablaze by wild infernos.
“Die!”
Leaping forth, Gu Chuan pressed his assault on Xi Xi.
But in Xi Xi's palm emerged the Immortal Fire God Gatling, trigger yanked hard.
The six barrels whirred into motion at once, unleashing horrifying golden beams that hammered into Gu Chuan's frame.
Xi Xi's wide eyes sparkled with cunning, poised for withdrawal?
