As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1619 - 427: Purgatory Opens, Earthly Hell’s Evil Welcomes the Ghost Emperor; The State Preceptor Is the Imperial Court’s Loyal Dragon God—Trust Me [Monthly Ticket Requested]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Violet flames rage, incinerating peaks and vaporizing oceans, hushed but fiercely scorching!
The flame that burns without sound warps the emptiness bit by bit, turning the void as if it were fuel for the blaze.
Within the chamber of books.
Li Che remains still, but his whole presence has shifted dramatically, his head wrapped in violet fires, flesh, essence, and locks utterly dissolved, scorched into oblivion.
Just the gleaming bones of the Martial Immortal Golden Body endure, contorting and searing beneath the violet blaze!
Employing the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame as this Tao Tribulation Power for a fresh guise, it shrouds his visage entirely, the fires hiding his features, assuming the shape of a malevolent ghost sovereign rising from the abyss of torment.
A fearsome, overbearing, devouring presence gradually emanates from Li Che’s form.
The violet Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame erupts with a dreadful disaster essence, a force that surpasses the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.
Zhao Beidou, a mighty Divine Tribulation Cultivator who wields the White Netherworld Tribulation Fire, pales utterly before the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame, utterly incomparable.
"Earthly Ghost Emperor..."
Li Che’s golden cranium wreathed in violet fire, sockets empty and shadowy, appears to hold infinite shadows gleaming inside, forged of golden bone, yet the hollows plunge without end, like twin Netherworld Vortices.
"Tao Tribulation Power..."
His five digits splay open.
Lifting the violet fire off his crown, suddenly flesh reforms, tresses cascade, gaze ignites with brilliance.
Li Che resumes his true form.
It's akin to a disguise that alters one's face, although for shifting appearances, this method proves far more direct and savage.
It scorches the meat and mane right off, preserving solely the framework unharmed.
Boom—
The Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame coiling in his grasp, slammed back onto his skull once more, flames surge at once, swallowing his whole head, presence climbing without cease, the nearby void warps entirely, like an unending torrent of spirit-shaking might.
The violet blaze scorches and weaves into a horrifyingly vague outline of a Demon Elephant!
The Divine Dragon wraps around the Demon Elephant’s frame, Dragon Elephant Merged Form!
Li Che rises, his dark robes billowing, violet fire dancing, his entire being morphs into a void chasm, imploding and devouring myriad presences like a whirlwind!
Under the searing blaze, from the golden skull’s sockets, the whole of heaven and earth turns icy and barren under its stare, reduced to a foggy realm of malice.
"Ghost Emperor... Earthly Ghost Emperor!"
"Channeling Tao Tribulation Power upon oneself, becomes the Ghost Emperor!"
Li Che’s bony jaws part and meet, as if drawing breath.
The prolonged exhale rushes without stop, Li Che’s thoughts whirl, the Heaven and Earth chessboard swiftly envelops and stretches, fully barricading the study, cutting off the presence!
In the instant that follows, Li Che’s frame twitches faintly, vast blood qi erupts abruptly!
The slumbering spine dragon inside his core stirs as if roused, its maw gaping to unleash a thunderous bellow, the latent explosive might within all ignites!
The eight meridian hubs, driven by the blood qi, undergo an eight-times amplification, bolstering the blood qi in relentless layers!
The Eight Extraordinary Meridians, ignited all at once!
The roaring, fiery golden blood qi detonates fiercely, surges forth, every one of the thirty-six thousand pores across his body flares wide, ejecting densely packed blood qi!
A ten-thousand-feet Qi Sea Golden Pond phenomenon arises, together with that ten-thousand-feet Martial Arts Mountain, as though his grasp of the martial way up to now fully materializes right here!
Enveloping the crown, charring the full head down to bare the golden bones via the Tao Tribulation Dragon-Elephant Flame, blazing savagely.
At once, the golden Qi Sea Golden Pond, stained violet, shifts into a violet Qi Sea, churning and seething.
Li Che’s complete golden blood qi likewise morphs into violet blood qi!
Uncanny, chilling, it incinerates all in its path, eradicates everything, like the portals of Hell creak open, the sinister ghost emperor strides forth leisurely, commanding the myriad tormented spirits of the infernal ghost realm.
"It’s a pity... the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame, I only have a preliminary grasp, not much mastery, otherwise the Tao Tribulation Fire, integrated into the Eight Extraordinary Meridians’ blood qi, would give my blood qi... an added Tao Tribulation trait!"
Li Che’s gaze flashes.
The Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame, he commands merely a strand.
The might of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations falls to Divine Tribulations, Martial Gods alone to control, yet Li Che’s cultivation falls short of that realm, still, drawing on the Tao Tribulation essence of the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame, he scarcely summons the presence and crushing weight like Divine Tribulation.
"Still need to strive to refine the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame."
The greater the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame he commands, Li Che’s Ghost Emperor strength will keep elevating!
Even matching genuine Divine Tribulation Flame, or exceeding it outright!
Li Che’s thoughts shift, his whole self plunges back into the Tao Tribulation Space, and then...
no further "then," in a single breath, Li Che is hurled aside by the Primordial Demon Elephant born from the Tao Tribulation Fire.
Shaking his head.
To elevate the Ghost Emperor’s power to its zenith appears...
A grueling path lies in wait.
...
...
Icy mists drape over summits, pristine snow at dawn weaves splendor.
The outline of Qingshan at the edge of the world, veiled in ghostly vapors and fog, the night's gloom almost impossible to dispel.
Divine Capital, First City.
Imperial Palace.
Snow petals drift, draping the grand Divine Palace in a coat of frost, imparting a otherworldly feel like a frozen Divine Realm.
The whole of Divine Capital's First City sprawls across the Imperial Palace’s domain, a single city remade into palace grounds, filled with innumerable splendid halls of imposing design.
