As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1641 - 431: Dragon God Draws the Sea-Turning Nine Infants, All Eyes on the Ghost Emperor’s Arrival, Heaven and Earth Reject [Monthly Ticket Requested]...

Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
A blood-colored dragon shadow erupted from the black clouds above the heavenly dome, roaring defiantly as it coiled upward in a desperate bid to pierce the skies, only to explode in a crimson blaze that stained the falling snow and unleashed a torrent of blood rain. Heaven and earth trembled with sinister thunder, anomalies rippling across Lingnan Circuit and beyond, where Dragon God Lineage cultivators emerged from the Grand Canal in grief, wailing over the fall of their Dragon Emperor. In Mo City, amid pouring black rain and raging purple flames, Li Che summoned the Primordial Dragon-Elephant Flame and unfurled the Dao Guide's Ten Fierce Brushwork, dissolving massive dragon bones into ink to absorb the Old Dragon God's essence, unleashing explosive shockwaves as an ink dragon shadow desperately attempted to flee the scroll.

The roused Dragon Soul, having evaded capture by Soul Capturing, refused to bow to Li Che's will.

Sensing the scroll's hunger to swallow it whole along with all in its path, the Dragon Soul fell into utter panic.

Desperation drove it to seek flight.

Yet flight proved utterly futile.

Chains of inky hue cascaded from the scroll's depths, ensnaring the shadowy Dragon Soul, coiling around its draconic skull, talons, and tail, dragging it inch by inch into the parchment with relentless snaps—crack, crack, crack.

"Roar——!!!"

The final, thunderous dragon cry reverberated across Mo City and shook the very ground beneath.

At last, the Old Dragon God's Dragon Soul vanished entirely into the Ten Fierce Beast Ink Painting.

Slowly, strokes of ink materialized upon the scroll, as though the Fairy in the Painting wielded a wolf-hair brush to etch a vivid form.

[Ten Fierce Beasts Ink Painting: Sea Flipping Nine Infants (10%)]

Hmm?!

Before him, a dim obsidian glow surfaced, followed by a line of text shimmering into view.

Among the Ten Fierce... the Sea Flipping Nine Infants!

Li Che's gaze sharpened intensely.

Within his thoughts, a grand vista began to unfurl.

There, the boundless ocean churned wildly, massive swells crashing upward, colossal waves piercing the heavens before bursting into frothy cascades, and abruptly, swirling maelstroms formed amid the waters.

Nine such whirlpools erupted across the endless sea, ballooning outward like upturned basins until the depths erupted in fury!

It was as if the entire mighty ocean had been upended!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh——

Innumerable jets of water surged forth from the turbulent sea, soaring toward the firmament like raging tempests.

From the midst of those nine bursting surges, nine savage dragon maws thrashed ferociously, linked by sinuous necks to a single hulking frame, as vast leathery wings unfurled in an instant...

Shrouding the daylight!

Savage power eclipsed the skies!

All nine dragon heads bellowed toward the heavens in unison, as though raging against the cruel fates of the world!

One among the Ten Fierce...

Sea Flipping Nine Infants!

Boom——!!!

Within his torso, the Fruit of the Heavenly Dao from Within the Painting throbbed with violent intensity.

Thump thump thump——

Each throb struck like a thunderous wave, echoing without end!

After what felt like an eternity, the Fruit of the Heavenly Dao from Within the Painting in his chest finally settled into quiet.

Li Che touched down upon Mo City's soil, the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame flickering steadily.

Beneath the skeletal helm, his eyes held abyssal depths, akin to the Jiuyou abyss.

He raised his hand, fingers curling like talons.

In his grasp, a dark chess token pulsed and wove with horrifying demonic essence.

As though a far-off draconic howl sparked inner detonations.

His five digits clamped shut with savage force, pulverizing the ebony demonic chess piece in a flash, while the scroll at his back gradually unrolled.

From its surface, myriad chains rattled forth, and nine serpentine necks with heads lashed out in frenzy.

But seven heads remained indistinct and hazy, with only two manifesting clearly, one radiating an especially dazzling splendor.

The Dragon God... reborn as one of the Ten Fierce, the Mo Jiuying!

Rumble——

Li Che sensed the raw ferocity and savagery of this dread creature, brimming with insanity, bent on ruin, carrying a dire resolve to eradicate all existence.

And yet, with merely a flicker of intent, Li Che held absolute sway over this beast's fate.

Its Dragon Soul's very survival hung on his whim.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh——

With wings beating fiercely, the Sea Flipping Nine Infants soared through the lofty skies, its two draconic heads weaving, eyes aglow with gentle light.

"One Disaster and Two Tribulations Realm, so... two heads have manifested?"

Beneath the violet inferno, a subtle grin curved in Li Che's eyes.

"Seems... there's plenty of potential for development."

Should all nine heads of the Nine Infants emerge at once, its power would eclipse the current state by far.

Cultivating a Nine Infants!

A companion beast demands careful rearing, fattened and fortified, to fulfill its role effectively.

As he dismissed the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame from his skull, Li Che's stare swept across the scene, fingers splaying out to swiftly condense the fragmented Dragon Meat into a colossal orb of flesh.

In his chest, the Fruit of the Heavenly Dao from Within the Painting had barely quieted when yet another Dao Fruit surged with frantic beats.

The [Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons] Dao Fruit.

A torrent of devouring force burst from the Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons Dao Fruit, greedily drawing in the demonic aura from the Old Dragon God's remains.

The sole regret lay in the Old Dragon God's Dragon Emperor Pearl having shattered...

Had it endured, the Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons might have feasted lavishly.

Witnessing the Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons Dao Fruit's maturity skyrocketing, Li Che brimmed with satisfaction.

Once it had drained every trace of demonic energy from the Old Dragon God's sundered blood and tissue.

The Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons Dao Fruit at last subsided.

[Dao Fruit: Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons (lv5,50%)]

Li Che cast a look, a twinge of disappointment stirring within, for the progress fell short of his hopes.

He had envisioned absorbing the Old Dragon God's demonic essence to vault straight to lv6.

But achieving that in one go now appeared more like wishful fantasy.

Likely due to the Old Dragon God suffering such grievous wounds at his hands.

The Dragon Emperor Pearl had detonated catastrophically, and the Dragon Bone had liquefied into ink, absorbed into the Sea Flipping Nine Infants.

[Dao Fruit: Fairy in the Painting (lv6,60%)]

A spark of delight lit Li Che's eyes, elation washing over him as the Fruit of the Heavenly Dao from Within the Painting advanced substantially.

Summoning dread beasts via the Ten Fierce Beasts Ink Painting markedly accelerated the Fruit of the Heavenly Dao from Within the Painting's growth.

Furthermore, this clash's rewards extended beyond these alone.

The levels of other Dao Fruits—such as Dragon Elephant Vajra, Pure Heart, Chess Saint, and more—had all risen by differing amounts!

Naturally, the paramount prize was claiming a companion at the One Disaster and Two Tribulations Realm!

Felling a formidable cultivator at the One Disaster and Two Tribulations Realm, even through cunning tactics, still granted Li Che substantial boons via the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit.
