Capítulo 1748: Chapter 455: I Heard Your Voice in the Underworld—A Day of Demon God Slaughter, Qitian Recovery
Li Che let out a soft chuckle. “Better late than never, and with late-night snacks too…”
He gazed at the delicately arranged, crystal-clear dumplings and began devouring them without a second thought.
With Xi Xi, he savored this tasty midnight treat.
The shopkeeper settled into his seat, rolled a pair of smokes, and handed one over to Li Che.
Li Che tapped his chopsticks, abandoned his notion of vying with his darling daughter for the final dumpling, set the chopsticks aside, accepted the cigarette, and ignited it using the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame.
Afterward, he shared puffs of smoke with the shopkeeper.
“Qi Tian City will soon unlock.”
The shopkeeper remarked flatly.
Li Che gave a nod, showing little astonishment.
“It opens tomorrow.”
The shopkeeper added.
This time, Li Che’s gaze flickered as he turned toward him: “Tomorrow?”
A sense of regret stirred in Li Che’s mind.
His effort to gather the Twelve Demon Gods had only reached halfway…
Four Demon Gods at the Three Tribulations level and three at the First Tribulations level remained unrecruited.
Yet Li Che remained unperturbed.
Shifts in plans happen often; perfection in life is elusive.
“Tomorrow already… That’s quick.”
“Time doesn’t wait for anyone.”
Li Che blew out a stream of smoke.
The shopkeeper shot Li Che a sidelong look, as if questioning whether those words made any sense.
Talking about time not waiting, when given more of it, you’d likely seize control of Qi Tian City!
Li Che rose to his feet and flicked off some ash: “Boss, I’m leaving Xi Xi in your care.”
The activation of Qi Tian City’s legacy signaled impending true turmoil, as concealed demons and ghosts started to surface.
Xi Xi would undoubtedly remain with the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper brushed away ash and murmured softly: “Rest easy, I won’t let Gouzi starve, or her either.”
Li Che burst into a hearty laugh, then splayed his fingers and ripped open the Qianyuan Space, gesturing toward the shopkeeper.
“Want these supplies?”
They contained the transformed true forms of defeated Demon Gods.
The shopkeeper’s eyes gleamed faintly, like an expert cook eyeing prime materials.
“Definitely.”
Without delay, the shopkeeper claimed all the supplies.
After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper and Xi Xi, Li Che headed back to the Bull Demon’s courtyard.
The night hung heavy like ink, with dark clouds churning over the sky, a choking pressure relentlessly descending upon the mortal realm.
As though it aimed to smother everyone.
The leftover Demon Gods hadn’t been gathered yet, but Li Che paid it no mind and avoided rushing around.
Li Che assumed a cross-legged position, allowing his consciousness to sink into the Tao Tribulation Space.
He commenced refining the Tao Tribulation Power.
Boom——!!!
His consciousness trembled, yanked abruptly from the Tao Tribulation Space.
Li Che’s eyes blazed with light.
His five fingers unfurled, and an azure droplet of water tumbled, shifting forms in his hand.
“It worked!”
Primordial Water Tribulation, Heart-purifying Stream, now fully comprehended!
[Dao Tribulation: Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame (4%), Primordial Sky Slash (2%), Primordial Heart Cleansing Stream (1%)]
A smile slowly formed on Li Che’s lips.
Rumble—
Up in the sky, lightning bolts flashed wildly while fierce winds roared!
Innumerable savage gusts intertwined and expanded like a net!
Li Che raised a droplet of Primordial Water Tribulation.
At that instant, the whole of Qi Tian City trembled violently!
Li Che stared at the area surrounding his small courtyard.
The thick Mysterious Fog…
Rose slowly from the earth…
In a flash.
Enveloping the skies and land!
Roar——
From the Inner City section of Qi Tian City…
A furious bellow erupted!
Clatter, clatter, clatter…
The noise of myriad chains scraping echoed.
Li Che raised his eyes and dimly perceived, in Qi Tian City’s Inner City, a human-like form shackled by chains, writhing endlessly!
The Qitian Temple God…
Had begun to stir!
