As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1612 - 425: Emperor Xi Xi Kills and Runs—So Thrilling! The Children Live Happily in Fengdu [Monthly Ticket Requested]

At the ruins' fringe, stones tumbled across the earth as a silhouette advanced, causing the rocks below to shatter right away and crumble into powder.

Clad in the Bull Demon Mask, Li Che flung his arms out wide, with the nine key sinews across his back clenching sharply, like serpentine bones pressing hard against his vertebrae, nearly ripping free from his skin and tissue.

A cracking noise rang out as the Pill Furnace burst apart...

Exposing a massive, bizarre form within, shaped like a toad...

Surprisingly, concealed in this Pill Furnace lurked a Human Head Toad.

"A doppelganger? It seems that his own will has been transferred to this Human Head Toad... no wonder it’s so weak."

Beneath the Bull Demon Mask, Li Che’s eyes gleamed with an eerie light.

No surprise that when this Grandmaster acted, there was no stir from the Heaven and Earth Will, nor any sign of impending calamity.

The Yangxuan Grandmaster from the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, whom Li Che had once held in high regard, now faced him despite Li Che’s recent advances in cultivation—both the Martial Immortal Golden Body and Martial Cultivation had progressed.

Yet against a true Divine Tribulation Cultivator unscathed like Zhao Beidou, Li Che refused to take them lightly at all.

After all, confronting such a relentless foe, even the tiniest lapse in caution might turn into a vulnerability the enemy could exploit and savagely exploit.

But if it was merely a doppelganger incapable of summoning the Power of Tribulation, then there was no cause for alarm.

With a snap of his finger, a dark Confining God Chess piece swelled and warped, shifting into the likeness of Gu Changqing.

Li Che directed it toward the Human Head Toad emerging from the broken Pill Furnace.

"This is... the Human Head Toad Furnace of the Yangxuan Grandmaster, and the Human Head Toad Pill inside, it’s a Heavenly Pill refined based on the Divine Power of the Toad Temple God, imbued with the will of the Yangxuan Grandmaster, serving as his doppelganger walking in the human world!"

Gu Changqing showed astonishment but quickly explained it to Li Che.

"The Human Head Toad Furnace, it’s similar to the Three Lives Body Technique of the Buddhist Sect, and our sect’s Heavenly Pill Avatar Technique derived from it..."

"However, it’s much more sophisticated than the Heavenly Pill Avatar Technique, after all... this Human Head Toad Furnace carries the will of a Divine Tribulation Great Cultivator."

Gu Changqing spoke with deep respect.

He felt baffled too about how the Lord managed to smash a Grandmaster's Toad Furnace.

"So... you call this disgusting thing an Elixir?"

Li Che’s low voice resounded.

This Human Head Toad possessed considerable strength and odd techniques, yet it only matched a supreme peak level, not even reaching half-step Divine Tribulation.

Dealing with it posed no challenge for Li Che at all.

Gu Changqing grinned obsequiously and deferentially: "Lord, this Human Head Toad Furnace has four units in total, called the Four-direction Human Head Toad Furnace, its refining method is peculiar, requiring the essence blood of young children to brew... but its efficacy is excellent... greatly beneficial for Divine Cultivation, as the Temple God Divinity is refined within it..."

A flicker of revulsion passed through Li Che’s gaze.

Though he had already wiped out the Divine Tribulation Heavenly Dao Soul embedded in this Human Head Toad Pill.

Li Che had zero intention of ingesting such an elixir...

"Lord, since you are unwilling to consume this elixir, could you gift it to me? I can use this elixir as a medicinal guide to refine a Poison Pill..."

Gu Changqing cupped his hands and bowed low, showing utmost deference.

He yearned to advance himself and prove his worth to the Lord.

At these words, Li Che arched a brow: "Refining that Poison Pill... Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill?"

"No..."

Gu Changqing shook his head smilingly, then added with some sheepishness: "As an Alchemy Saint... I also know a bit about the Poison Dao."

"I plan to develop my own Poison Pill..."

Li Che offered no resistance to the idea, sweeping his hand grandly to pass the Human Head Toad Pill straight to Gu Changqing.

"Lord, the Human Head Toad Furnaces are divided into four directions, containing a portion of Yangxuan Grandmaster’s Heaven and Earth Soul Will, positioned at the four corners of Guangling Dao City, using the Human Head Toad Pill to refine Elixir Qi and elixirs..."

"With this Human Head Toad Furnace broken, the Yangxuan Grandmaster should already be aware... Little Lord may be in danger."

Gu Changqing recalled something and spoke up hastily.

Hearing this, Li Che’s eyes glinted under the Bull Demon Mask: "Oh? No matter."

"If he truly wants to die, then let him make a move and find out."

Li Che declared coolly, his voice brimming with assurance and ferocity.

Should that Yangxuan Grandmaster dare to strike, Li Che would gladly show him the terror of challenging the Divine Tribulation without fear.

Zhao Beidou, the Divine Tribulation Soul Capturer, remained untouched in action!

These words filled Gu Changqing with the aura of unshakeable confidence from Li Che, making his own concerns seem pointless; he bowed his head deeply in reverence.

Li Che splayed his fingers wide, drawing the Human Head Toad Pill to hover before him instantly.

Inside the Inner Scene of the Energy Center.

The Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart pulsed with fierce intensity.

It boomed like rolling thunder, as Pure Heart Divinity streamed softly like a calm river.

Rinsing over that Human Head Toad Pill.

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish——

All at once, a piercing wail reverberated!

Gradually, a Heaven and Earth Dao Soul, buried deep in the elixir, emerged and writhed wildly, as if in panic, before bolting toward the sky above.

"A reward for you."

Li Che regarded the Heaven and Earth Dao Soul of the Divine Tribulation Great Cultivator he had seized, granting it to Gu Changqing.

Gu Changqing’s face lit up with delight at the sight!

"Thank you, Lord!"

Gu Changqing’s Soul Capturing abruptly lifted its gaze, its eyes blazing a deep scarlet, launching skyward to pursue that fleeing Heaven and Earth Dao Soul of the Divine Tribulation.

Grandmaster... you have been offended!
