As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1714 - 447: Temple God Resonance of the Qi Tian Mysterious Temple, How to Satisfy the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit [Monthly Ticket Request]_4...

Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Fang Hanshu revealed to Li Che the reasons behind the Demon Race's invasion of Qi Tian City, driven by their pursuit of the Qi Tian Inheritance and a perceived advantage from the Demon Saint within the temple, while Buddhist forces from the Western Regions also vied for the Temple God Resonance due to its ties to Buddhism. As their Flying Sword approached the majestic, ancient city, Li Che's Heaven and Earth chessboard failed to fully encompass it, sensing a distorting power. Lv Taibai clashed with a formidable Crane Demon guarding the walls, whose Sword Intent matched his Divine Tribulation Realm strength, as the demon declared the city under Demon Race control and threatened slaughter unless they retreated.

"It mimics the layout of the Ten Thousand Rivers in the Deceit Demon Cave..."

"Yet, as a structured group, these demons realize they can't fully claim the chance offered by Qi Tian City."

"Should it provoke the fury of Great Vista, Da Li, and the Western Regions Buddha Land—these human forces already clashing—it would spell disaster."

Perched on his flying sword, Fang Hanshu observed Lv Taibai's initial push into Qi Tian City, thwarted by the Crane Demon.

He shared this insight with Li Che, yet he glanced over and hesitated briefly.

For Li Che appeared lost in thought.

Cross-legged upon the flying sword, Li Che's gaze sparkled intensely, his breaths quickening noticeably.

It was as though he'd spotted something he craved.

Right then, the [Ten Thousand Demon Emperor] Dao Fruit inside Li Che's chest quivered without stop, pulsing wildly.

The Crane Demon's demon energy was so thick that the [Ten Thousand Demon Emperor] Dao Fruit seemed on the verge of salivating.

A subtle ripple stirred in Li Che's heart.

[Dao Fruit: Ten Thousand Demon Emperor (lvl 5, 50%)]

Xi Xi had gained this Dao Fruit at only seven years old, yet its growth surged rapidly, fueled by vast demon energy absorbed from slaying the Old Dragon God, leading to its evolution and upgrade.

This Crane Demon, at the One Disaster One Tribulation Realm, drew Li Che with immense pull.

Beyond the temptation of its demon energy, it also seemed a potential fit for the second slot in the Ten Fierce Brushwork's fierce positions.

Still, its suitability for that second fierce spot wasn't guaranteed.

"These demon races are brutally savage, treating humans as mere sustenance for blood... Beyond the domains of Great Vista, Da Li, and Western Regions Buddha Land, lie the demon race's Ten Thousand Rivers—regions swarming with demons where humans are almost entirely consumed... "

Fang Hanshu spoke in a hushed tone.

Li Che narrowed his eyes faintly; demon race... were they truly so detestable?

He could picture it well—such deep-seated racial enmity, even among humans like those in Great Vista and Da Li, where endless killings raged over territorial and ethnic divides.

Let alone the chasm separating humans from demons.

In the end, no massive clash broke out; Lv Taibai had simply come to behold the demons' bold takeover of Qi Tian City.

Witnessing it firsthand, he grasped the full extent of their overbearing pride.

The Crane Demon refrained from chasing them later, for outside Qi Tian City, absent the Mysterious Fog's cover, it would invite the Heaven and Earth Will's tribulation; the Crane Demon had no desire to venture forth and endure thunder strikes.

Thus, it let Lv Taibai and his companions depart.

Back on his flying sword, Lv Taibai's eyes gleamed with unyielding light.

"That Crane... it has devoured countless humans; its demon energy sword light harbors myriad tormented souls, utterly chilling."

"We must slay it!"

A savage glint flashed in Lv Taibai's gaze.

Li Che stayed quiet, but he fixed a profound stare on the Crane Demon looming above Qi Tian City, its wings sharp as blades.

"Time to depart."

The flying sword wheeled about, set to abandon Qi Tian City and head straight for Five-finger Town to recuperate.

But then.

The very moment the flying sword pivoted.

Abruptly, a horrifying presence burst from Qi Tian City—a colossal wave of demon energy, dark and grayish-black, surged skyward, twisting the heavens' hue.

Endless coils of demon energy amassed over Qi Tian City, gradually shaping into a colossal, malevolent bull head.

The bull head parted its jaws, unleashing a thunderous bellow that ripped across the firmament, sending shockwaves crashing outward past Qi Tian City.

Reality itself appeared to fracture, revealing slender fissures.

Lv Taibai jolted in shock—not just him, but Lv Qiankun and Fang Hanshu on the flying sword also contracted their pupils sharply!

"That's... a Divine Tribulation Venerable at the Two Disasters Realm! A Demon God Venerable among the demons!"

Rumbling——

The fearsome aura swelled like an ocean surge, the gigantic bull head rivaling the skies and earth in majesty, brimming with terrifying demon energy and savage fury.

"The black bull from Ten Thousand Rivers?!"

"A Two Disasters Realm Demon God Venerable! So Qi Tian City truly shelters a demon race's Demon God Venerable!"

"Cursed be it, is this their way of sealing off every route we have?"

"Are the demons seriously plotting to claim and dominate Qi Tian City's grand opportunity entirely?"

...

The moment that aura exploded forth.

Over in Five-finger Town.

Numerous mighty experts in Five-finger Town, who had been tracking Lv Taibai's party, now detected the upheaval and soared into the air, staring fixedly.

Lv Taibai's scouting of Qi Tian City had actually roused a Two Disasters Realm Demon God Venerable from the demon race?

A mere scouting effort, and the demons responded with such aggression, denying any leeway?

This went too far!

Crack, crack——!!

The vast sky darkened as ominous clouds gathered thickly, pressing down like cascading torrents!

Innumerable thunderbolts churned and roared within the Cloud Dome, bursting forth suddenly with blinding flashes!

It felt like the Heaven and Earth Will had been enraged, roaring in outrage!

With rippling surges, an overwhelming force instantly flooded from Qi Tian City.

Immense suppression clashed fiercely.

A tidal momentum slammed downward, undulating like stormy seas, nearly splintering the void.

Aboard the flying sword, Lv Taibai and Lv Qiankun went rigid.

Li Che's eyes blazed with fervor as he locked onto the enormous black bull head, towering like a peak, shrouded in boundless demon energy!

The [Ten Thousand Demon Emperor] Dao Fruit in his chest thrummed with wild excitement, nearly overflowing with greed.

Yet Li Che drew in a steadying breath.
