As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1727 - 450: Slaying One Demon God Brings Immense Wealth, the Second Fierce Beast in the Ten Fiend Ink Painting Should Be a Black Ox [Monthly Ticket]...

Still, the issue isn't too severe, as the current Li Che... when dealing with plots, even if he can't handle them, possesses the assurance to flee.

Equipped with abundant means of self-preservation, that's the source of his boldness.

"The Heavenly Crane Demon God...serves as my son-in-law, merely seeking to reclaim his remains, all for the benefit of my daughter."

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable declared in a low, resonant tone.

Son-in-law?

"Should you hand over both the demon corpse and the demon core, I shall trade ten Four Imperial Taoist Divine Crystals."

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable proposed.

"I desire the Three Pure Dao Yuns Divine Crystal."

Beneath the Bull Demon Mask, Li Che's eyes gleamed as he lifted his hand to voice his demand.

"Out of the question! You're demanding far too much... Are you unaware of the worth of the Three Pure Dao Yuns Divine Crystal? It's no mere Divinity Crystal, but a Dao Yun Divine Crystal!"

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable bellowed instantly, his voice erupting like a thunderous bull's cry.

From his reaction, it was evident he felt genuine urgency.

This suggested that the Three Pure Dao Yuns Divine Crystal held exceptionally high value.

Li Che pondered briefly before escalating the bid: "Fifteen of them."

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable fixed a chilly gaze on the overreaching Bull Demon...

Yet, contrary to Li Che's anticipation.

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable consented: "Fine."

Under the mask, Li Che's lip curved slightly, indicating the offer might have been undervalued.

However, it likely wasn't undervalued much, considering it involved a Demon Race Demon God's corpse, unlike a Human Race Divine Tribulation one—their values were worlds apart.

In truth, a Demon Race Demon God...brims with invaluable treasures.

Nevertheless, Li Che solely required the Heavenly Crane Demon God's demon energy...

Possessing that demon energy allowed Li Che to opt for Soul Capturing or Ink Splashing techniques.

Li Che had already planned the utmost worth of the Heavenly Crane Demon God, while the corpse...could still yield a batch of Dao Yun Divine Crystals and substantial riches, so why refuse?

As the Qiankun Space ripped open under five fingers, seizing the Heavenly Crane Demon God corpse like a lance in that moment, abruptly inside his chest, the [Ten Thousand Demon Emperor] Dao Fruit began to tremble wildly.

A fearsome suction force burst forth, drawing away roughly ninety percent of the demon energy from the Heavenly Crane Demon God and its demon core, retaining merely a scant ten percent to preserve the demonic essence befitting a Demon God.

To the Black Bull Demon God Venerable's view, the Netherworld Ox Demon appeared to hesitate briefly, before extracting the Heavenly Crane Demon God’s corpse.

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable flicked his sleeves abruptly, unleashing a tempest of demon energy, as fifteen Four Imperial Dao Yun Divine Crystals hurtled toward Li Che.

Li Che activated the Qiankun Space to absorb every one of these Dao Yun Divine Crystals.

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable likewise stored the Heavenly Crane Demon God’s corpse infused with demon energy, cast a profound glance at the Bull Demon, and then departed.

This deal concluded with remarkable speed.

The Demon Race Two Disasters Realm Demon God Venerable proved surprisingly compliant.

In all honesty, Li Che felt a touch of genuine astonishment.

This prompted a natural wariness in Li Che's heart, sensing something amiss.

Li Che refrained from further abusing the rules to slay demons and extract their demon energy.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Atop the city wall, Niu Yi, Niu Er, and Niu San were no longer present.

They materialized behind the Bull Demon, locating a secluded courtyard, and Li Che stepped inside.

Once Li Che had entered the courtyard.

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable retracted his senses, his icy murderous aura blatant, amid swirling demon energy, the Heavenly Crane Demon God’s corpse bobbed gently.

"Humph!"

A frigid huff escaped him, his attention shifting subtly.

In a flash, a silhouette with expansive bat wings unfurled erupted from the demon energy's turmoil.

This was the Night Bat Demon God; the demon race of Ten Thousand Rivers had dominated Qi Tian City for five centuries, and it wasn't merely three gatekeeper Demon Gods.

Assured in confronting the Grand Prospect Dynasty, Divine Sect, Ancient Family, Western Regions Buddha Land, Wushen Mountain, and other human factions' combined assault, it couldn't rely on just three Demon Gods in Qi Tian City.

"Monitor the Netherworld Ox Demon..."

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable commanded icily.

Hearing this, the Night Bat Demon God offered no retort, ripping through the void and vanishing within.

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable’s immense demon energy churned like dark flames, reforming the colossal black bull illusion, as he addressed ongoing directives.

Following the Heavenly Crane Demon God’s demise, the Black Bull Demon God Venerable assigned a fresh Demon God to guard Qitian West Gate—the Sword Antelope Demon God, whose strength scarcely lagged behind the Heavenly Crane Demon God.

And beyond Qi Tian City.

After the Netherworld Ox Demon's triumphant entry into the city via slaying a Demon God and the thrilling ordeal.

Mighty figures from all sides at last eased up, launching their own assaults on the demon gods and demon kings at Qi Tian City's gates.

Outside Qi Tian City, clashes ignited without end.

Yet these events bore no relation to Li Che.

In the outer district of Qi Tian City, within a modest courtyard.

Li Che stepped into the courtyard, and the Heaven and Earth chessboard unfurled at once. He narrowed his eyes, detecting an immensely oppressive surge of demon energy across the board.

"Ah, the Black Bull Demon God Venerable has actually deployed a Second Disaster Two Tribulations Realm demon god for surveillance..."

"Such intense scrutiny makes sense, since it cost the life of the Heavenly Crane Demon God."

Li Che offered a soft smile.

"The Black Bull Demon God Venerable, a Two Disasters Demon God... At this stage, I likely can't rival him."

Currently, despite Li Che's profoundly solid foundation, he would face immense difficulty against a One Disaster Three Tribulations Realm divine tribulation.

To say nothing of Second Disaster Realm demon gods, beings that cross an entire major realm!

Since entering Qi Tian City, Li Che had constantly prepared for instantaneous teleportation and retreat.

He harbored no plans to clash with a Two Disasters Demon God.

Although Li Che, aided by the Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit, could disregard any suppression, he still sensed the formidable pressure from the Two Disasters Black Bull Demon God Venerable.

It was utterly daunting, merely sensing it revealed his own inadequacy.

"A formidable power, but who can predict the schemes of this Black Bull Demon God Venerable?"

"I must proceed with utmost care."

Li Che's gaze flickered with intensity.

Thump thump thump thump——

Inside his chest, the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit pulsed ceaselessly.

With a thought from Li Che, he left merely the Painting Immortal Avatar of the Bull Demon in the courtyard.

And his true self had already materialized in Mo City Fengdu.

Possibly due to Mo City's full restoration, no ink-black rain poured within the city anymore, and the endless black mists swirled vigorously.

Upon appearing, Li Che abruptly pressed his palm to his chest.

At once, from the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Dao Fruit, he extracted a thread of the Heavenly Crane Demon God’s demon energy, which swiftly shaped into the Heavenly Crane Demon God’s likeness. Then, Li Che extended his five fingers broadly.

Additionally, there lay the remains of three elite demon kings: White Mantis, Yuan Bao, and Black Bear.

Rumbling rumbling...

Behind him, the Ten Fierce Beasts Ink Painting gradually revealed itself.

"Splash ink."

Li Che lightly flicked his sleeve.

The instant after.

Within the Ten Fierce Beasts painting.

The Sea Flipping Nine Infants image, evolved from the Old Dragon God, unleashed a savage bellow!

Ink-forged chains lashed out, ensnaring the demon energy-formed Heavenly Crane Demon God and the three demon kings' corpses, subsequently ripping free the demon souls of the Heavenly Crane Demon God and the trio of demon kings!

Harrowing shrieks and panicked wails resounded across the heavens and earth.

The Ten Fierce Beasts Ink Painting swiftly consumed the demon souls.

[Ten Fierce Beasts Ink Painting: Sea Flipping Nine Infants (40%)]

Boom——

The Sea Flipping Nine Infants' nine heads, previously with only two illuminated, now boasted four aglow!

Two dragon heads, one crane head, and the final one shifted fluidly through the three demon kings' features, settling ultimately as the Primordial Leopard Demon King's form—a leopard head.

Rumble!

Ink mists billowed relentlessly, climbing higher and higher, akin to an unstoppable surge!

Dark lightning crackled and intertwined, erupting without cease!

Ink hues roiled like an endless ocean, birthing colossal waves of terror, and amid these swells, the Sea Flipping Nine Infants bellowed fiercely, its majesty overwhelming!

In Li Che’s joyful stare, the Sea Flipping Nine Infants' presence solidly advanced to the One Disaster Three Tribulations realm!

Sensing the bolstered might of the Sea Flipping Nine Infants.

Li Che’s eyes gleamed with excitement, and he couldn't resist peering at the second segment of the Ten Fierce Beasts Ink Painting...

Even though it remained pristine and void.

Li Che oddly sensed his vision might be deceiving him.

It seemed as if that area...

Ought to feature a Black Bull.
