As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1716 - 448: The Underworld’s Elite Bull 1 and Bull 2, Jumping Back and Forth on the Rules to Feed the Dao Fruit [Monthly Ticket Requested]...

Rumble——

From the enormous and fearsome Black Bull Demon God came a thunderous roar, sending shockwaves rippling outward in every direction.

High in the boundless heavens, the flying sword floated steadily.

At the blade's edge stood Lv Taibai, his gleaming silver-white locks whipping wildly in the wind, eyes burning with grave intensity.

Next to him, Lv Qiankun and Fang Hanshu wore shifting looks on their faces, itching to leap into action.

Getting inside Qi Tian City sooner would surely boost their chances with the Temple God Resonance of Qi Tian Mysterious Temple.

Qi Tian City had been abandoned by the Equal Heaven Temple long ago, after all, and hidden clues within its walls could uncover vital secrets about the Temple God Resonance of Qi Tian Mysterious Temple.

Truth be told, Lv Taibai's group wasn't alone—even the powerhouses from distant lands who had gathered in Five-finger Town displayed odd glints in their eyes.

Naturally, doubts lingered in some minds, wondering if this ancient black bull really planned to unlock Qi Tian City.

Or perhaps it was all a clever trap, drawing them in just to slaughter them within?

Should that be the case... they'd prefer to skip this so-called entry rule and rally the mighty forces for a direct assault on Qi Tian City.

Yet the factions involved lacked true harmony, such as the Dajing contingent—starting with Ye Pengju, the top figure at the Heavenly Gate, alongside Temple Control Bureau elites like Wang Kui, plus a Divine Tribulation elder from the Dajing Royal Family.

Teaming up with the Da Li Royal Court sparked inevitable clashes, hindering any real path to mutual gain.

On top of that, the Western Regions Buddha Land clashed fiercely with both Dajing and Da Li, driven by its ambition to remake the whole world into a Buddha Country.

Ensuring the Great Buddha's eternal reign, with billions embracing the faith at once, turning everything into the Buddha Country!

Dajing and Da Li stood squarely in the crosshairs of the Western Regions Buddha Land's designs.

Indeed, the Western Regions Buddha Land had already set this plan in motion boldly, claiming swaths of territory in Dajing and Da Li as extensions of the Buddha Land.

Take Dajing’s Xiling Road, or the frontier zones linking Da Li to the Western Regions Buddha Land, among others.

The Human Race simply lacked unity deep down, unless some world-ending threat loomed over them.

Right now, as the Second Disaster Black Bull Demon God Venerable's words boomed from Qi Tian City, chaos erupted in Five-finger Town, stirring ambitions in countless hearts.

Perched on the flying sword, Fang Hanshu scanned the scene and saw the joint force meant to storm Qi Tian City crumbling apart before the clash could even start.

Still, that made sense—it had never been a tight-knit pact from the outset.

A quiet sigh escaped Fang Hanshu's lips; the Human Race... always operated this way.

Each person harbored their own ideas, private plots, forever chasing gains while dodging risks.

Launching a collective assault left unknowns: how many lives lost, how many powerhouses slain, or whether they'd breach Qi Tian City at all.

With the Demon God Venerable offering a bloodless route into Qi Tian City, most of the mighty ones naturally backed it.

Failing to gain entry there boiled down to personal shortcomings, plain and simple.

Defeating the guarding demon race secured passage into the city... failing that meant your own limits held you back.

"Hahaha, rest assured, everyone, with the will of Equaling Heaven, since I have spoken, I will keep my word... If you all can enter the city, you may find a place to reside within Qi Tian City, and my Demon Race will absolutely not harm a hair on your heads!"

Booming with immense demonic power, the colossal ancient black bull bellowed with laughter.

Next, its enormous eyes like forged bronze flared with dazzling light, unleashing a fearsome presence that rattled all of Qi Tian City.

"Where are the Demons of the Ten Thousand Rivers?!"

Bolstered by endless demonic surges, the elder bull appeared to surge heavenward.

"At the West Gate of Qi Tian City, the Heavenly Crane Demon God and the top demon kings under its command are stationed! Human Divine Tribulations who wish to enter the city must defeat the Thousand Crane Demon God! Those below Divine Tribulation who wish to enter must surpass the top demon kings at the gate!"

Booming echoes resounded.

Right at the gate Lv Taibai had struck moments before, the White Crane-shifted middle-aged figure gripped a gleaming longsword, erupting with dread Power of Tribulation; a Disaster Wheel materialized at his back, while Sword Qi pierced the skies!

"At the North Gate of Qi Tian City, the Jade Horned Rhinoceros Demon God and its top demon kings are stationed!"

"At the South Gate of Qi Tian City, the Golden Winged Demon God and its top demon kings are stationed!"

...

Rumble——

Demonic essence blasted upward without end, while the Black Bull Demon God Venerable's proclamation thundered across the firmament.

Suddenly, from Qi Tian City's three sides, pillars of demonic energy shot skyward!

So thick it felt solid, the demonic energy thrust into the air, shattering the overhead gloom and birthing clouds of pure demon force!

Fierce gales howled, quaking the world itself!

The sheer spectacle chilled the blood!

Inside Qi Tian City, the Ten Thousand Rivers Demon Race forces swiftly arrayed this setup, placing three demon gods at the gates!

Gaining entry demanded overcoming a Demon God!

Over Qi Tian City, mighty demons ascended, merging with the horde and whipping up a horrifying demonic surge!

With mocking stares, they eyed the human cultivators beyond Qi Tian City's walls.

Holding Qi Tian City first gave them the upper hand, free to press forward or pull back as they pleased.

Buzz——

A ripple stirred in Lv Taibai’s core.

At once, the Taibai Sword bore them all down to solid earth.

Li Che guided Xi Xi and the young ones off the flying sword, as Fang Hanshu, Lv Qiankun, and Lv Taibai planted their feet on the terrain.
