As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1706 - 445: Devouring the Four Heavenly Kings—Li Che Raises a Monster, Pure Heart Achieves Fifth Metamorphosis
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Ji Moli, utterly worthy of a gruesome end!
A vile individual like him has no right to return to life or achieve eternal immortality.
Li Che has zero desire for Ji Moli to come back via soul capturing.
Yet...
Opportunities for solid soul capturing must be seized, while even flawed ones shouldn't go to waste.
Even the inferior captures hold value.
His five fingers splayed out, aimed straight at Ji Moli's lifeless body...
In mere moments, Ji Moli's soul stepped forth from Jiuyou, as though emerging from a hidden realm.
Ji Moli's eyes fluttered open, filled with bewilderment, still harboring the deep grudge and fury from his defeat at Li Che's hands...
All at once, serenity washed over him; a torrent of knowledge flooded his thoughts, rendering him speechless.
"You..."
Ji Moli gazed upon Li Che, his lips parting.
But Li Che simply regarded him with cool detachment, staring down from his superior position.
Surrender?
Or... defiance?
After a brief internal struggle, Ji Moli clenched his jaw and opted for obedience.
"Rip apart the Qiankun Space and reveal it to me."
Li Che commanded in a flat tone.
Having submitted, Ji Moli had no choice but to comply with Li Che's order.
As the Qiankun Space tore open, Li Che peered inside and froze, his gaze igniting with the thrill of unexpected riches.
Then, without a hint of hesitation, he claimed every valuable item from within the Qiankun Space.
Ten pieces of lower-grade Three Pure Ones Divine Crystals, followed by Dao Yun Divine Crystal, and a whopping five Four Imperial Taoist Divine Crystals!
This Ji Moli... his treasures are truly overflowing?
Regrettably, they're merely Four Imperial Taoist Divine Crystals, lacking the status of genuine Three Pure Rank Dao Yun Divine Crystals.
As the ancient proverb states, only Dao Yun Divine Crystals of Three Pure Rank or higher count as authentic; Four Imperial Taoist Divine Crystals fall short of true divinity.
"That's enough, my thanks."
"Off you go once more."
Li Che felt content.
Ji Moli: "..."
Before long, an irresistible force slammed into him.
Ji Moli's form quivered as if on the verge of bursting apart.
Quickly hurled into the swarm of souls.
For the trials awaiting in Qi Tian City, one can foresee a horde of mighty foes on this path to Qi Tian City.
Thus, Li Che promptly offered Ji Moli's soul to Gu Yinxuan as sustenance.
"Old Yin, what's still missing for you to reach the One Disaster Three Tribulations Realm?"
Once Gu Yinxuan had devoured his fill, Li Che asked.
"My Lord, just one more divine tribulation on the level of Ji Moli's One Disaster One Tribulation Realm."
Gu Yinxuan beamed with satisfaction, feeling his strength surge, his spirits lifted immensely.
Li Che gave a nod.
With that, he fell silent, allowing Gu Yinxuan to resume his poison experiments.
Blessed by his lord's favor, Gu Yinxuan brimmed with vigor and resolve, convinced he could perish a hundred times over in pursuit of perfecting his poisons!
After dismissing Gu Yinxuan, Li Che settled into a meditative pose, examining the three divine artifacts seized from Ji Moli.
The Indestructible Lotus Hell Sky Silk went to Xi Xi, yet three Heavenly King divine weapons carried the essence of the Temple God.
These included the Qingyun Divine Sword, Mixed Element Umbrella Spear, and Purple Golden Mink, the sacred arms of the three Heavenly King Temple Gods, plus the Jade Pipa Li Che had acquired before.
At last, Li Che possessed the complete set of four Heavenly Kings' divine weapons.
Drawing forth the Jade Pipa, the four artifacts aligned in harmony.
Boom——!!!
The immense Temple God Divinity ballooned outward like a swelling sphere, surging with newfound might in an instant.
Four colossal Temple God phantoms—white, blue, green, and red—materialized, gigantic and imposing, soaring to a hundred feet in stature!
The fury blazing in the eyes of the four Temple Gods was palpable!
"The Four Heavenly Kings..."
Li Che chuckled lightly.
This formed the bedrock of Ji Moli's ascent to power.
In truth, had Ji Moli successfully fused the four Heavenly King Temple Gods into his being beforehand, combined with the six Great Corpse Gods, his cultivation could have skyrocketed straight to the One Disaster Three Tribulations pinnacle.
Should that have occurred, confronting a One Disaster Three Tribulations adversary might have given Li Che a real challenge.
"The will of the Four Heavenly King Temple Gods..."
Li Che chuckled once more.
His five fingers fanned out...
Invoking the Gods!
As the sacred technique activated, the essences of the Four Heavenly Kings Temple Gods quaked fiercely. They let out a defiant bellow, slowly yielding to the summoning force and condensing into four radiant orbs brimming with Temple God Divinity.
Li Che tapped the ground lightly with his toe, vanishing in a flash.
When he reemerged, he stood before the enormous meatball that Yellow Sword Wine had become after absorbing a Dao Position Pearl.
With a casual flick, one Heavenly King Temple God Divinity orb hurtled into Yellow Sword Wine's meatball.
Buzz—
As though rousing from deep sleep, Yellow Sword Wine's meatball split open a massive void-like mouth and swallowed the Heavenly King Temple God Divinity orb whole.
"Can you process it?"
Li Che's thoughts reached out, probing Yellow Sword Wine's captured soul.
"My Lord... give me more, I require additional..."
It certainly could.
The orbs born from Dao Yun Divine Crystals and Temple God wills shared striking similarities.
Furthermore, those crafted from Temple God wills might surpass Dao Yun Divine Crystals in quality.
Li Che held nothing back, delivering the other three Heavenly King Temple God Divinity orbs directly into Yellow Sword Wine's meatball.
The meatball bloated ceaselessly and shuddered, waves of energy rippling outward.
Li Che couldn't shake the thought: if he kept nourishing it this way, what staggering level would Yellow Sword Wine attain when it finally burst free?
Was he perhaps cultivating... a beast of legend?!
Regardless of the outcome, Li Che's heart soared with anticipation and delight.
Still, Yellow Sword Wine's meatball required time to assimilate the Four Heavenly Kings' Temple God orbs.
Li Che knew full well that impatience had no place here.
His form dissolved into the shadows, materializing atop the tallest rectangular edifice in Mo City Fengdu.
Perched in meditation there, Li Che's mind shifted subtly.
This fierce clash with Ji Moli, where he unleashed every secret technique, yielded Li Che tremendous rewards.
To begin with, progress along the warrior's way.
His command of Dao Tribulation Power sharpened, while the blend of Primordial Sky Slash and Divinity Transformation True Martial Thousand Mountains Solo Divine Sword grew ever smoother.
The honed Thousand Mountains Solo Traveling Slash, under Li Che's near-epiphany awareness, began hinting at evolution into Immortal Seed Martial Arts!
Should it truly evolve into an immortal seed, that would spell fantastic fortune for Li Che.
This would allow two of his Eight Extraordinary Meridians Divine Seeds' Qi Gates to ascend to Immortal Seeds.
However, this breakthrough in martial comprehension wasn't Li Che's biggest prize this round.
The true windfall lay in dissolving a deep-seated burden; Ji Moli had cast a long shadow over Li Che's kin, and shattering it now felt like a dragon soaring into vast oceans, reclaiming boundless liberty and bliss!
It was the breaking of shackles, the embrace of true emancipation!
Instilling in Li Che a deep wave of soul evolution.
Li Che realized Ji Moli was just a minor hurdle on his greater journey; he would rise higher, confront fiercer rivals, and weather even graver trials ahead.
Still, the dread from days of frailty often proves the real veil over the soul.
Now, it was like ripping through the fog to behold the endless azure heavens, a total rebirth of the spirit.
Li Che meditated atop the Dominator Tower—this lofty rectangular spire, dubbed Dominator Tower by him, stood as the emblem of Mo City Sovereign.
His eyes shut, his consciousness delved profoundly.
Within the Inner Scene of the Energy Center.
The Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart appeared to detect the soul's renewal, bounding wildly, each bound unleashing divinity in crashing surges.
The whole realm seemed to hush.
The patter of rain, howls of wind, rush of streams, tumble of stones, and burst of droplets—all faded into nothingness.
"Exhale—"
"Inhale—"
Li Che parted and sealed his lips, drawing in a breath.
The Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart's beats intensified, echoing like a grand temple bell rung at dawn and dusk!
In tandem, the Pure Heart Dao Fruit in his torso leaped and thundered along.
As if an ancient shrine on a frozen summit, where a deity strikes the timeless bell, its echoes sweeping across endless plains.
Bang—
Li Che's eyes snapped wide.
Brilliant light wove through his irises.
The skies cleared, destiny awakened!
Ahead, myriad luminous strands twisted together, forming glowing script.
[Dao Fruit: Pure Heart (lv7,0%)]
Sense the isolation of the cosmos, the timeless spirit standing solitary!
Vanquish inner demons, keep the core spotless!
Pure Heart!
Five Sheddings!
