As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1635 - 430: The Rise and Fall of 3,000 Years—Farewell to the Dragon Emperor, No More Soul Capturing, Ten Vicious Dragon Gods Return [Monthly Ticket Needed] (Part 2)...

Thus, Li Che activated the Flying Thunder Chess Piece's power to teleport instantly, then struck with a swift knife attack.

Yet, the Old Dragon God's reflexes proved far quicker than Li Che expected, and his fighting prowess greatly exceeded that of the Dragon God Crown Prince.

He excelled at leveraging his strengths; the moment he shifted into dragon shape, the Prison Lotus Yin Divine Sword embedded in his chest shrank dramatically.

Since Li Che’s devastating fist struck the sword's hilt, the wound in his chest resembled just a tiny needle prick against the enormous dragon body.

The harm was greatly reduced!

"This old loach has some skills."

Beneath the black and white Yama Mask, Li Che’s eyes narrowed faintly, as the golden mist instantly turned into crackling golden thunder.

His dark, robust hair whipped wildly behind him, while the Dragon Elephant Furnace boiled with fearsome qi-blood, floating at his back.

The black robe billowed, his body expanded, and the impressive, robust muscles quivered lightly.

Li Che extended his five fingers wide, and abruptly, a Divine Weapon vibrated in his left arm, causing the Three-pointed Two-bladed Knife to drop into his grasp, its menacing blade glow buzzing with vibration.

His other hand rose to seize the Prison Lotus Yin Divine Sword that had impaled the Old Dragon God’s form and was now soaring through the air.

Sword in one hand, knife in the other, his presence shone like a piercing rainbow!

He lifted his head to gaze at the immense Old Dragon God, who loomed over Mo City and blocked the sky.

This Old Dragon God was truly colossal, with mighty energy swirling and clashing without end.

The Old Dragon God reverted to a human-like shape, a small gash visible on his chest, the dragon blood already clotted, flesh and tissue gradually weaving back together to seal it, his entire body clad in gleaming golden dragon scale armor, his aura surging with intensity.

The tribulation power and the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations surrounding the Old Dragon God appeared somewhat distinct, though it carried a tribulation essence, it clearly followed a different route, sparking Li Che’s keen interest.

Cultivation in the Divine Tribulation Realm evidently had variations...

The traditional Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations seemed tied only to Divine Cultivators who pursued Divinity beneath the Strange Temple.

In contrast, paths like the Dragon God Lineage or pure martial ways did not align with the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations route.

"Damn it! So ruthless!"

"The sword carries poison!"

The Old Dragon God’s face twisted in shock, as dark blotches suddenly appeared on his golden dragon armor, a relentless force burrowing into his meridians like maggots in bone, seeking to erode and block them...

The Underworld... employed poison?!

What kind of ruthless dark power was this!

Rage consumed the Old Dragon God, as he now realized that when the Underworld Yama acted, he doubted the Dragon God Crown Prince’s loyalty to Ji Moli and suspected alignment with the Underworld!

Naturally, another option existed...

That Ji Moli...

might actually belong to the Underworld!

After all, this Prison Lotus Yin Divine Sword was among the Divine Weapons under Ji Moli’s command!

Was Ji Moli part of the Underworld?

This idea... felt utterly horrifying!

The Underworld...

Was it really infiltrating everywhere?!

Feeling the poison rampage and twist wildly inside him...

As the toxin spread, the Old Dragon God’s potent Heaven and Earth Soul Perception scanned through, revealing the poisons had morphed into toad-like creatures with human faces, hopping like frogs in his meridians and blood, multiplying ceaselessly to obstruct his pathways!

The Old Dragon God gripped his injury and plunged downward rapidly, touching down in front of the ashen Xie Yushen and Zhao Beidou.

While doing so, he channeled his Dao Yun Power to contain and dissolve the toxins.

The scene turned oddly tense, with his Dragon Sons and Dragon Grandsons turning against him, the most trusted grandson delivering the poisoned blade himself.

This treachery pierced the Old Dragon God’s heart with icy betrayal.

Yet survival demanded priority now.

At minimum, he had to uncover the chaos in the Dragon God Clan, the reason the Dragon God Crown Prince and those Dragon Sons turned on their own!

"Old Dragon God, stay alert, this is the Underworld’s Small Cave Heaven... In the past, I got pulled into this realm, clashing with the Underworld Yama, I had already wounded him badly and even shattered this Small Cave Heaven..."

Zhao Beidou sprawled on the ground, hacking up blood repeatedly.

The Disaster Wheel at his back was nearly cleaved apart.

The Old Dragon God glanced over at Zhao Beidou, his golden dragon scales marred by the black human-faced toad poison, his aura waning sharply as he diverted Dao Yun to combat this human-faced toad toxin.

He gave a nod, flooded with mixed feelings.

He conceded that earlier... he had misjudged Zhao Beidou.

Zhao Beidou... was no weakling.

Facing the Underworld’s cunning and brutality, he had fought Yama to a brutal stalemate, even demolishing the Small Cave Heaven... that demonstrated real strength.

Though the toll was heavy, it highlighted Zhao Beidou’s bravery in a new light.

Such a figure deserved far more trust than his own Dragon God Lineage’s Dragon God Crown Prince.

"Dragon God Senior, stay vigilant..."

National Master Xie Yushen’s complexion was deathly pale, as he rose to his feet and moved toward Zhao Beidou, his expression gravely serious.

The Old Dragon God eyed the Dragon God Crown Prince and three Dragon Sons rising once more from the dirt, now aligned with the Underworld Yama, his face twisting in profound turmoil.

His own kin proved unreliable, while the overlooked Zhao Beidou became the one he could rely on.

How utterly ironic.

In that instant, the Old Dragon God lifted his eyes at last, locking onto the Underworld Yama.

He ignored his Dragon Sons and Dragon Grandsons entirely, for it served no purpose; those who betrayed him were nothing but worthless scum...
