As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1720 - 449: Opening the Martial Saint Heavenly Gate Before Qi Tian City, Witnessing the Martial Immortal After the Golden Heavenly Gate
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Underworld...
Once more, the Underworld appears!
Furthermore, it's that recognizable Cute Bull Mask, despite having two carved marks, it remains the identical Cute Bull Mask.
Niu Yi, Niu Er...
Slain two Top Demon Kings in succession!
Suddenly, the air grew tense and icy, with fearsome murderous aura surging wildly, cascading from the walls of the city.
Perched on the city tower, the Heavenly Crane Demon God appeared utterly somber. Such Top Demon Kings represented vital elite forces within his own ranks!
Consequently, losing both in a single blow inflicted a massive blow to the Heavenly Crane Demon God, sharply dropping his standing among the myriad rivers of the human realm.
He no longer held the power to rival other Demon Gods in prestige.
Within the Demon Race, the strength of one's followers holds immense value—the count of Demon Kings, along with great and lesser demons, all carry significant weight.
"Underworld!!!"
Unable to contain his rage, the Heavenly Crane Demon God bellowed, his avian eyes nearly popping out, his cry echoing across the vast heavens!
He rose abruptly, myriad Sword Qi swirling and clashing around him, while his Crane Robe billowed without cease.
His gaze snapped toward Niu Yi, positioned nearby on the city tower.
Could Niu Yi and Niu Er... be one and the same?
The Heavenly Crane Demon God's expression turned frigid.
Meanwhile, below, Li Che, having dispatched the Primordial Leopard Demon King, casually extracted the Demon Core, basking in satisfaction.
A gleam flickered before his vision.
[Dao Fruit: Ten Thousand Demon Emperor (LV5, 70%)]
The essence from a Demon King boosted the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit's progress by 10%. A handful more could propel it straight to Level 6.
As such, Li Che's grin widened uncontrollably, filling him with delight.
Sustained advancement in a Dao Fruit's development proved both crucial and uncommon for Li Che.
The world's ambiance shifted to an unsettling hush.
Even the enormous black bull visage, conjured from dense demon energy over Qi Tian City, displayed a trace of fury.
After all, the names Niu Yi and Niu Er felt too conspicuous, hinting strongly at a single troublemaker at work.
Yet...
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable's formidable Heaven and Earth Soul, which could halt space itself, scanned across, traversing Niu Yi's form, leading to a knit brow.
For Niu Yi, positioned on the tower with solid flesh and blood, revealed nothing conclusive.
The Heavenly Crane Demon God's frame brimmed with resonant Sword Qi.
Still, beneath the Black Bull Demon God Venerable's oppressive presence, he refrained from any motion. Hierarchy commands obedience, particularly in the Demon Race, where superiors wield total authority over inferiors.
"Enter the city."
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable stated evenly.
Donning the Niu Er mask, Li Che remained composed and proceeded into the city without delay.
Having chosen a dwelling inside, he ascended the tower, positioning himself beside Niu Yi.
From his seat on the city tower, the Heavenly Crane Demon God cast a piercing stare over the masked duo of Niu Yi and Niu Er.
Nevertheless, Niu Yi and Niu Er stayed poised, being mere avatars of the Fairy in the Painting.
Underneath Qi Tian City.
Amid the crowd of observing cultivators, one couldn't suppress a quiet laugh.
The Demon Race's maneuvers truly resembled lifting a boulder merely to smash one's own toes.
The mighty indeed possess the right to dictate terms.
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable, aiming to enforce the Heavenly Will, likely crafted these terms to prompt the savage Demon Race powerhouses to eliminate human cultivators seeking entry, thereby cowing the humans.
This would block human unity in assaulting Qi Tian City's demons and erode the humans' morale.
But in the end...
Two Demon Kings lay dead instead.
Qi Tian City's Demon Race found their morale waning.
The assembled human cultivators below Qi Tian City, suppressed for so long, now breathed easier.
Evidently, Qi Tian City should rightfully be human territory, yet these cultivators were barred from even approaching, repelled by the Demon Race.
"Hahahaha! Refreshing!"
Lv Taibai burst into laughter.
His silver locks whipped about, his gaze alight with fervor.
The Taibai Sword concealed in his sleeve hummed eagerly, yearning to draw forth and challenge the Demon God.
Yet Lv Taibai held back, aware that... the Underworld had intervened.
With the Underworld stepping in, it was wise to watch and wait.
Trust in the Underworld's methods brings the greatest peace of mind.
And Lv Taibai wasn't alone; nearly every sect's cultivators shared this sentiment.
Let's see what further schemes the Underworld unveils.
In the Western Regions Buddha Land, numerous bamboo-hatted Buddhist Monks watched with shifting expressions.
The Wushen Mountain's Witch God Cultivators, attired in bamboo hats and dark robes, regarded the scene with profound gazes.
Indeed, the assembly of powerhouses at Qi Tian City this time was vast. A united assault could well shatter the Demon Race's hold and siege on the city.
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable's deliberate city-entry rule might have served exactly that intent.
Under this rule now...
Two Top Demon Kings already perished.
The Heavenly Crane Demon God wore a visibly sour expression, yet he couldn't casually ignore the regulation from the Black Bull Demon God Venerable.
Thus, he willed it so, calling forth his remaining Top Demon King subordinate.
It manifested as a burly humanoid giant, the Black Bear Demon King, bare-chested, gripping a dark axe, eyes savage and unrelenting.
"Black Bear Demon King, aid me in guarding."
The Heavenly Crane Demon God commanded gravely.
But right after uttering it, his eyes darted elsewhere, fixing on the lively Da Chuan where throngs of intrigued Jianghu Guests clustered.
