As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1627 - 428: Taibai Enters Tribulation, Old Dragon God Sets Out; Dream Master Transforms Again, Dream Butterfly and Da Xixi Reappear
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Transformations from other Dao Fruits typically moved Li Che's heart, yet this Dao Fruit's change brought him a faint touch of sorrow.
Maybe it stemmed from watching Da Xixi stand alone and desolate, her face showing deep grief and suffering, which made Li Che naturally wish to push it away.
He let out a soft sigh.
In these shifting eras, what more could he possibly achieve?
All he managed was to give everything he had so his daughter Xi Xi in this era could thrive, remain secure, and mature joyful and free from worries!
Concerning the Nightmare Divine Skill of the Dream Master that he had newly gained, Li Che gave it a quick look.
A strange spark flickered unintentionally in his gaze.
The Formless Nightmare allowed a person's real form to mimic a dream state, transforming into an intangible being, much like a shadow or water's moon reflection, resistant to all strikes, untouched even by space's fracture.
Yet, the downside was that this Divine Skill's intangible form could only endure three assaults.
After those three strikes, the Formless Nightmare would dissolve by itself.
Afterward, the blows would strike the flesh directly.
Zhang Ya stirred awake as well, sharing a brief moment of closeness with Li Che before the pair stepped out of the chamber, though Li Che, sensing a faint unrest within, headed into the study.
In the meantime, Zhang Ya out in the yard kept honing her martial skills beside the Golden-haired Hou, her progress surging ahead.
Catching a glimpse of Xi Xi inside her dream filled Zhang Ya with immense joy, for she understood that the Xi Xi from the dream was surely the genuine one.
It felt overwhelmingly vivid—Xi Xi's responses, the feel of her presence—all mirroring the real world exactly.
This slowly soothed the tensions in Zhang Ya's mind.
Elsewhere.
Li Che had almost reached the study again.
All at once.
The once calm Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
Started quaking fiercely, like a horrifying quake had unleashed!
Next, waves of this tremor expanded in circles, echoing outward, striking every corner, flooding across Qianyuan Taoist City.
And even...
Extending past Qianyuan Taoist City!
Dark clouds boiled over, fierce snow howled!
The Grand Canal surged with monstrous waves, waters churning, whipping up endless billows!
Heaven and earth seemed to plunge into utter quiet.
High in the skies, a crushing force from the Heaven and Earth Will poured down like a flood!
Tremendously heavy, overwhelmingly suffocating.
No one could tell when the ink-black clouds had started massing, thickening relentlessly over the city!
Heavy and trapping!
All eyes lifted toward those dark clouds overhead, plunging the crowd into profound hush.
Swish, swish, swish——
Sounds of tearing through the air rang out.
These were the Martial Gods of Qianyuan Dao City, the Divine Fetus Great Gods from the mighty Noble Families.
Right then, terror gripped their expressions fully.
"This... this is the Destructive God Wind Tribulation, one of the Three Calamities!"
"A true Three Calamities Tribulation!"
"Someone's crossing into the Divine Tribulation Realm? Who... who's facing the divine tribulation?!"
...
The heads of several clans felt utter shock, their souls quaking in fear.
Feng Zhiqi, Wenlong Yuwen, Hong Shifu, and the rest soared into the heavens one by one.
Feng Zhiqi's frame loomed large and sturdy, his gaze blazing with intensity!
"The Three Calamities Tribulation! Destructive God Wind Tribulation... is it the Sect Master facing the tribulation?!"
Facing the divine tribulation means entering the tribulation!
This phrase echoed across the realm.
Buzz——
The atmosphere hummed as a majestic, pure Vast River roared into view, stretching across the firmament.
Vast Qi flowed everywhere, drawing in the full weight of that Heaven and Earth Will's dread.
It was none other than Fang Hanshu.
Now, Fang Hanshu's scholar's robe billowed, his fine beard whipping in the gusts, a hint of gravity in his eyes.
Lv Taibai...
was on the verge of entering the tribulation!
Success in entering the tribulation meant life or death hung in the balance!
Breaking into the Divine Tribulation Realm offered just two paths: triumph in entering the tribulation and ascending to the God Realm, or defeat in the breakthrough, failing to enter, and dissolving into ash amid the calamity.
No exceptions—failure equaled demise.
Such was the brutality of the Divine Tribulation Calamity; from the moment the Mysterious Temple appeared, spreading Divinity across the skies, and the initial God Tribulation descended, countless prodigies had crumbled to nothing against it.
Genius or not, no matter your stature, no matter your supremacy below the heavens...
Even if you'd ruled an age, failing the divine tribulation meant your end.
Li Che's robe of embroidered golden lotus, the Mo Shan garment, fluttered wildly, his thick black hair thrashing in the winds.
He launched into the air too, striding forward in one motion, landing beside Fang Hanshu.
"The Sect Master is entering the tribulation?"
Li Che narrowed his eyes to ask.
"Yes... life and death... ride on this single tribulation."
"Truth be told, the Sect Master's base is a bit weak still, he's rushing too much, yet there's no other way... the crisis's weight compelled the Sect Master to choose this."
"Still, this very choice offers a slim shot to stake it all, backed by safeguards and a spark of victory."
Fang Hanshu ran a hand over his fine beard, his tone grave.
Li Che gave a nod.
As Fang Hanshu regarded Li Che, he drew a slow breath and continued: "The Sect Master's breakthrough surge can't stay secret, the force of entering the tribulation overwhelms all..."
"Thus, the Imperial Court will learn of it for sure, the Sect Master's advancement news won't stay hidden, and given Xie Yushen and the Old Dragon God's slyness, they'll seize this prime moment..."
"What's more, they'll never allow the Taibai Sect Master the opening to claim the divine tribulation..."
"Should the Taibai Sect Master seize the divine tribulation, his cultivated path falls among the three disasters, the Destructive God Wind Disaster Dao Position! It surpasses the standard calamity!"
