As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1729 - 451: Unprecedented Dual Dao Fruits and Four Moltings, Hand-Rubbed Nuclear Blast in the Underworld, Trading Bird Gun for Cannon [Seeking Monthly Ticket]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Li Che has now reached the Minor Accomplishment stage in cultivating the Immortal Seed·Qilin Suppression Seal.
Progressing beyond this point grows ever more challenging.
Yet, relying on just one Immortal Seed won't suffice. Li Che aims to convert every one of the Eight Strange Sect Divine Seeds into Eight Wonders Gate Immortal Seeds, while also elevating his other martial skills.
Rumble——
In his mind, a faint stir summons distant echoes of tribulation thunders.
This represents the fury unleashed by the Heaven and Earth Will through the Martial Arts Heaven Opening Sect.
Li Che cast a glance toward the courtyard.
He rose to his feet, his black robe billowing dramatically, the Bull Demon Mask firmly in place on his face.
As he advanced, swirling ink-like mists enveloped him, and in his wake at the original position, a Bull Demon donning a Cute Bull Mask lingered.
This figure was the Painting Immortal Avatar known as Bull Demon.
Gripping a Thunder Chess Piece between his five fingers, Li Che departed with the Bull Demon and the remaining Painting Immortal Avatars stationed in the courtyard, his own form vanishing entirely.
Qi Tian City Outer City, just beyond the courtyard.
The void subtly split apart, revealing a black-robed figure dangling inverted from the rift, his gaze profound and infinite, as though endless rings spun within.
"At last, I've located it... this underworld truly harbors enigmatic techniques."
"But it can't evade the ultrasonic detection of my Night Bat Demon God!"
Earlier, while probing the small courtyard, he sensed the entire area shrouded in hazy energy, his ultrasonic senses trapped in an endless, disorienting labyrinth.
Now, however, everything sharpened into focus at last.
He observed within the courtyard: Bull Demon, Niu Yi, Niu Er, and Niu Sansi, all seated in meditation, immersed in their cultivation.
"Heh heh heh——"
The Night Bat Demon God let out a sinister low chuckle as the void's fissure sealed shut completely.
Yet, an unseen, translucent wave rippled outward persistently.
It kept vigilant watch over the courtyard's developments.
…
…
Whispering wind——
Beyond the walls of Qi Tian City.
Demonic energy surged wildly toward the skies, crimson rain infused with the Demon God's anguished cries plummeting fiercely from the heavens.
A choking, oppressive force expanded without end.
Li Che slipped out from the courtyard, first making his way back to Xi Xi.
The young girl fluttered her wide eyes, her cheeks glowing red with excitement as she gazed at the relentless clashes unfolding before Qi Tian City, her voice bursting with exhilaration.
The skirmishes at Qi Tian City's front were nothing short of ferocious.
Even the lowliest combatants were elite peak demon kings, though Xi Xi yearned most for the showdowns among Divine Tribulation realm powerhouses.
Encounters at that caliber were scarcely witnessed in everyday life.
Inherently battle-hungry, Xi Xi eagerly anticipated such spectacles.
The demise of the Heavenly Crane Demon God appeared to shatter the spirits of the numerous demon experts holding Qi Tian City.
The Sword Antelope Demon God stepped in to replace the slain Heavenly Crane Demon God, securing the West Gate of Qi Tian.
Nevertheless, up to this moment, no Divine Tribulation Realm challengers had emerged; instead, elite peak and Great God level fighters targeted the top-tier demon kings serving under the Sword Antelope Demon God.
With Li Che having eliminated a batch of demon kings earlier, the subordinates of the Sword Antelope Demon God proved marginally inferior to those of the Heavenly Crane Demon God.
In several heated duels, a few elite peaks indeed triumphed over demon kings, breaching into Qi Tian City.
Compared to the unveiling of the Underworld, these elite peaks infiltrating Qi Tian City ignited even greater fervor among the rest.
Challenges intensified with passion, extending now to the South and North Gates of Qi Tian City where cultivators ventured to test their mettle.
Of course, such bold endeavors carried grave dangers; just as the Netherworld Ox Demon had felled a Demon God, though the demons in Qi Tian City waned in vigor, their murderous resolve sharpened fiercely.
In these clashes, some cultivators met their end at demonic hands, their blood and flesh devoured raw, heightening the already volatile tension between the opposing sides.
After spending some time beside Xi Xi, Li Che chose to teleport elsewhere.
Upon his return, he hovered above the Grand Canal in Jiangnan Dao.
Over the waterway, Li Che assumed a cross-legged position, the waters below beginning to roil violently, waves surging upward while a fearsome Jiao Long thrashed beneath, whipping the surface into chaos!
High in the sky, thunder boomed relentlessly, interlacing bolts of lightning that blazed across the firmament, dispelling the heavy pall of dark clouds.
Li Che's black robe, embroidered with golden lotus motifs, whipped furiously in the gale, his form resembling one perched on a solitary lotus leaf, bobbing amid the river's turbulent swells.
Boom——!!!
Abruptly, a streak of thunder rent the clouds asunder, bellowing fiercely, coalescing into a thunderous entity laced with immense Qi Blood Power, slamming downward with devastating force.
Li Che's eyes widened slightly in surprise at this thunder infused with Qi Blood Power.
But his moment of wonder passed swiftly, as the Dao Fruit of his Lei-Ci Dao Body within his torso pulsed wildly.
This Dao Fruit had attained level 5, with 95% maturity, awaiting only the right catalyst for its evolution.
With the Heaven Gate now unlocked, the channeled Heavenly Thunder would trigger that vital shift.
Li Che tilted his head upward, beholding the plummeting Thunder Dragon gaining vivid realism from the woven Qi Blood.
Hum—bang——
A resonant hum echoed as Li Che's body erupted into brilliant gold, his golden locks thrashing wildly, his aura surging to new heights.
Beneath him, the river burst into a vast hollow.
His entire being vaulted skyward, clashing directly with the Thunder Dragon!
Once the tribulation concluded, tranquility returned without fanfare; bolstered by his Martial Immortal Golden Body's might, the Heavenly Tribulation posed no threat whatsoever to him.
