As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1649 - 433: Let 7-Year-Old Xi Xi Ascend as Sect Master of Qian Yuan, Tang’s Divine Machine Extended Arm Heavenly Armor [Requesting Monthly Ticket]...

Thus, battle strength has to surpass by a full level.

Moreover, with Lv Taibai being a sword cultivator who has formed the Three Calamities Dao Position, his fighting capability stands out as exceptionally remarkable.

"Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, Three Ancestor Dragon Tribulations..."

Inside the study room, Li Che remained seated in silence, serving himself a steaming cup of tea before taking a slow sip.

Raising his hand, a slender, thread-thin wisp of purple Tao Tribulation Fire emerged suddenly.

"Does that mean my Tao Tribulation... outranks the Three Calamities and the Three Ancestor Dragon Tribulations?"

Deep contemplation flashed across Li Che’s gaze.

From the earlier response of the Heaven and Earth Will, Li Che sensed that the Tao Tribulation Power under his command was undoubtedly something special.

Considering everything...

It emerged from the Dao Fruit’s transformation!

The gentle flame coiled around his fingertips, and as Li Che snapped his finger, it scattered apart. With a shift in his thoughts, he dove into the Tao Tribulation Space.

Roar——!!!

The fearsome Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame swiftly morphed into a vast, horrifying purple ocean of flames, where a colossal fiery Demon Elephant dominated the expanse between sky and ground.

Overwhelming, dreadful, destructive...

As if rivers and mountains were toppling, as if the heavens collapsed and the earth cracked open, the elephant’s massive feet slammed down with crushing force.

Li Che managed to persist for barely a single breath.

Moments later, he got ejected from the Tao Tribulation Space...

His eyes snapped open amid flickering purple flames, and with his battle intent surging high, Li Che pressed on, bearing the searing agony of the Tao Tribulation Fire inside the Tao Tribulation Space.

Following yet another cycle of intense suffering.

Li Che finally opened his weary eyes, realizing how tough cultivation truly was, given the Tao Tribulation Fire’s overwhelming dominance and its intensely suppressive might.

Confronting the Tao Tribulation Fire, he found himself unable to draw on the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, forced to endure solely through his raw physical form.

"Hoo——"

"Ahh——"

Bursts of twisting sensations ripped through Li Che’s whole body.

As his eyes blinked open and shut, he retrieved the Divine Crystal of the Three Pure Ranks and started drawing from it to cultivate.

Staring at the Divine Crystal held in his hand, now almost depleted from absorption, Li Che massaged his brow; his numerous Divine Fetuses, including the Heaven and Earth Spirit Bright True Ape of the Three Pure Ranks, required vast quantities of divinity.

Just one Divine Crystal of the Three Pure Ranks fell short.

"During that last encounter when I slew the Old Dragon God... I skipped Soul Capturing and straightaway merged the Old Dragon God into the Ten Fierce Brushwork, leaving only the Sea Flipping Nine Infants among the ten fierce beasts now..."

"The Old Dragon God’s treasures have vanished too."

Li Che let out a soft sigh.

Still, he felt no deep regret, aware that a figure like the Old Dragon God, approaching the close of his life, had probably donated the bulk of his hoard to his kin.

Expectations for abundant treasures were low...

After a session of cultivation, Li Che slipped back into Mo City to hone diverse Divinity Transformation True Martial techniques.

With his command over the Immortal Seed Martial Arts Qilin Suppression Seal, Li Che grasped that realms beyond Divinity Transformation True Martial arts existed.

His intention was to thoroughly examine and advance the martial arts rooted in the Qimen Divine Seed up to the Immortal Seed Martial Arts level.

Beyond that, he couldn’t ignore training in the Immortal Seed Martial Arts Qilin Suppression Seal.

This technique also demanded elevation to superior realms, stuck at Minor Accomplishment for now, leaving plenty of potential for greater potency.

"Martial God... Martial Immortal..."

"To become a Martial Immortal means turning every Divine Seed in the Eight Extraordinary Meridians into Immortal Seeds? Even if not true immortals, they rival immortals!"

Li Che quietly established his aim for the upcoming phase of Martial Path cultivation.

Naturally, he recognized this objective posed greater difficulty than first implanting the eight Qimen Divine Seeds.

It further required enhanced bodily strength, since Immortal Seed Martial Arts wielded far superior power compared to Divine Seed Martial Arts.

Yet Li Che always welcomed such trials.

Cruelty defines this world.

Take the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, for example—lacking the Underworld’s aid and shelter, it would inevitably crumble.

Once Qianyuan Dao City fell, every disciple and elder in the Qian Yuan Divine Sect faced certain death.

True power alone allows one to shield what matters most.

So Li Che’s mindset stayed straightforward: grow powerful enough to defend those he cherished!

Such as his daughter, his wife, his family.

Right now, the Imperial Court loomed ahead like an insurmountable peak.

"Does the Imperial Court possess Divine Tribulation experts? Without doubt... the Imperial Court’s roots differ from those of a Divine Sect. After founding the nation, amassing Qi Fortune, and dominating the realm for ages, they must have produced Divine Tribulation powerhouses."

"It’s even likely that Great Vista’s founding Grand Ancestor lingers in the world still."

Li Che breathed out steadily, his aura churning wildly within the chamber.

Dismissing the Imperial Court as weak was out of the question.

Therefore, during this clash with the Imperial Court’s invading army, Li Che avoided charging in with reckless spectacle.

For someone like Li Che, armed with the war tool Guanyin Lotus Main Battle Tank, shattering the Imperial Court’s forces presented no real hurdle.

Though it might falter somewhat versus elite masters, the Guanyin Lotus Main Battle Tank excelled at sweeping away lesser troops.

After some reflection, review, and inference within the room.

Li Che wrapped up his daily cultivation routine.

Rising to his feet, the golden lotus embroidery on his Mo Shan robe swayed lightly, and as he raised his hand, the Flying Thunder Chess Piece gleamed intensely between his fingers.

In a flash, his entire form disappeared from the study.

Shortly after, he reappeared beyond Qianyuan Dao City.

The Heaven and Earth chessboard rocketed upward with fury, stretching to its utmost size. Among the balanced alignments of starry diagonals, Li Che advanced, resembling a comet streaking through the darkness...

Each stride seemed to fold endless landscapes underfoot.

...

...

Rumble——!!!

A thunderous boom echoed savagely; crushing shocks hit hard, sending the Grand Canal’s waters into chaotic surges.

Endless icy gales howled, rushing across the scene.

The dark Mystic Iron Spirit Wood Warship stretched over the Grand Canal, its sturdy frame slicing through the river as it pressed onward into the gale.
