As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1766 - 459: All Gods Arrive to Guard the Equaling Heaven, Heart Monkey Fire Refines Dragon Elephant Immortal Seed to Major Accomplishment...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
He instructed the Night Bat Demon God to scour the Equal Heaven Temple ruins and gather every remaining treasure.
Simultaneously, he made his way toward the depths of the Inner City, racing against time to claim the Ruyi Golden Cudgel.
"As you command, my lord," the Night Bat Demon God responded, his posture brimming with reverence.
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable was deeply satisfied by his subordinate’s unwavering loyalty. Having absolute faith in his confidant, he felt certain the Night Bat would thoroughly strip the Equal Heaven Temple of its bounty.
This, indeed, was the reason the Black Bull Demon God Venerable had handpicked the Night Bat to accompany him.
After issuing his directives and bestowing such heavy trust—much like those Li Che had once given—the Black Bull Demon God Venerable strode forward. Clutching the Sea-crossing Purple Gold Beam, which he believed might harmonize with the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, he surged into the Inner City.
"The bald shaven-heads from the Western Regions Buddha Land, that concealed ancient ancestor of the Great Vista, as well as the contemporary First Divine Sect of the Great Vista and the Grandmaster of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect..."
"All of these wretches have set their sights on the Qitian Temple!"
"Their objective... is undoubtedly the Great Saint’s remains!"
Bang—
A powerful stomp sent the earth trembling, rings of invisible air pressure rippling outward from his feet.
Beneath a chaotic mask of roiling demon energy, the eyes of the Black Bull Demon God Venerable glowed with a feral, bloody light.
Li Che had anticipated that these powerful factions were oblivious to the presence of the Qitian Temple God’s corpse within that mysterious structure.
However, the masters of the Western Regions Buddha Land, Ten Thousand Rivers, Wushen Mountain, and the Da Jing Dynasty Imperial Court were already well aware of the secret held within.
They craved not only the Hun Yuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel of the Three Pure Ranks.
They were equally obsessed with the legendary Qitian Temple God’s corpse, the Great Saint’s remains!
It was a genuine relic, a remains belonging to the Temple God alone!
...
...
Within the Qitian Inner City, the river snaking through the center seemed to bubble and churn.
Beside the white marble railing of the bank stood a monk. His robes fluttered in the breeze, and his shoes were stained with blood-colored soil. An ascetic traveler who had crossed countless peaks and rivers, he had arrived with pure intent.
Beneath brows arched like fire-kissed cicadas, he looked toward the noble palace shrouded in layers of mystical fog, divine aura, Dao Yun, and lingering death qi.
He fixed his gaze on the towering silhouette of the Hun Yuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel.
The monk pressed his palms together, bowed slightly, and intoned a prayer.
"Amitabha Buddha..."
"Sheng Fu, this humble monk has journeyed here to guide your soul."
The next instant, the aura surrounding the monk erupted. Divinity, qi-blood, and Buddha light merged, manifesting as a Golden Cicada. Its translucent wings vibrated violently, unleashing a piercing, shrill cry!
It seemed to rip the summer’s calm to shreds, shattering the long-buried silence of the Qitian Inner City.
...
...
Dense, swirling currents of death qi and corpse qi, resembling black venomous snakes, ate away at the white jade stonework.
Amidst a harsh sizzling sound, pits formed in the ground, only to be smoothed over by the constant腐蚀 of the necrotic energy.
A hunched, distorted figure clad in a black robe stood nearby.
The cloaked figure suddenly pulled back their hood, exposing a warped, hideous visage twisted with wild, ecstatic madness.
Wei Yuan stared intently toward the Qitian Temple.
"Such intense, pure, and intoxicating death qi..."
"Hahaha... The leader spoke correctly. Qitian has truly fallen, and the Great Saint’s remains have manifested! If I could only refine the Great Saint’s remains..."
"Then who would dare oppose my Dao?!"
...
...
Rumble—
The Dao Tribulation space echoed with a continuous, deafening roar.
The fury of the calamity surged like a tide, manifesting as dragons and elephants. Tribulation winds shredded reality like parchment, while crushing water currents threatened to extinguish the very soul.
Li Che drifted within the Dao Tribulation space, his body suspended in a meditative cross-legged stance.
The Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame crashed down from above, poised to incinerate and shatter his physical form.
Previously, Li Che’s Martial Immortal Golden Body could hold firm for roughly a single breath before the tribulation fire reduced him to ash.
Yet, even in that destruction, he could harvest a sliver of the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame!
Though minuscule, this growth was vital, an incremental accumulation of strength that would eventually forge a formidable tribulation power.
This time, however, a sound like a war drum thrummed within Li Che’s heart.
It was the Heart Monkey Fire, pulsing with new awareness. Growing rapidly, it ignited within his chest and spread like wildfire to every corner of his frame.
In seconds, his entire body was engulfed in flame.
"Roar—!"
"Hiss—!"
The Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame seemed drawn to this new fire, flooding toward Li Che with renewed ferocity.
Soon, a purple Divine Dragon and a purple Demon Elephant materialized above his head!
The Divine Dragon lashed its tail against Li Che’s body with brutal force.
The Demon Elephant reared up, its trunk swinging like a mace—each strike carrying the weight of a thousand pounds!
Boom——!!!
The Heart Monkey Fire blazing in Li Che’s chest manifested as a golden-fire shield encasing him.
Resonating deeply with his Martial Immortal Golden Body, it miraculously repelled the relentless assault of the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame!
Purple fire detonated, creating a terrifying force that seemed to incinerate the heavens and scorch the earth. The Primordial Sky-cutting Storm and the Primordial Heart Cleansing Stream subsided, leaving the Dao Tribulation space entirely dominated by the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame.
Thud thud thud——
Impact after impact rained down!
Li Che’s Martial Immortal Golden Body groaned under the pressure; his bones creaked, his skin strained, and he felt as though his golden blood might evaporate into mist.
Yet, empowered by the Heart Monkey Fire, he endured.
Like a leaping simian, the Heart Monkey Fire transformed into a golden Treasure Stick in his grasp. He swung it in a rhythmic frenzy, unleashing a thousand layers of stick shadows that crashed against the Divine Dragon and Demon Elephant!
Li Che’s eyes snapped open and shut with brilliant flashes.
Enveloped in the Heart Monkey Fire, he faced the oncoming Primordial Dragon Elephant Flames head-on.
With clenched fists, his muscles and bones popped like roasting beans.
He thrust his fist forward, practicing his Immortal Seed Martial Arts within the heart of the Dao Tribulation!
Qilin Suppression Seal!
The Qilin Fist Seal erupted as he struck out sideways, sending waves of flames soaring toward the heavens like a tidal wave!
The technique roared with defiance!
What was previously a Minor Accomplishment of the Qilin Suppression Seal achieved perfect fusion with the Primordial Dragon Elephant Fire Tribulation at this very moment.
Every fiber of Li Che’s being resonated in harmony, as if he were guided by divine intervention within the void.
Behind him, the Heart Fire burned bright, manifesting as a Divine Monkey that challenged the Tribulation without fear!
Boom boom boom——
Time seemed to lose all meaning!
Boom——
Finally, the Heart Fire shield shattered, the Heart Monkey Fire flickered out, and Li Che’s radiant Martial Immortal Golden Body disintegrated under the crushing weight of the Dragon Elephant Flame.
Qitian Inner City.
Deep within the palace, Li Che jerked his eyes open. An immense, scorching wave of qi-blood instantly flooded the halls.
His brow twitched.
The Martial Immortal Golden Body shimmered back into existence with a dazzling brilliance.
A string of text flickered before his eyes.
[Dragon Elephant Furnace: Martial Immortal Golden Body (20%)]
[Tao Tribulation: Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame (30%)]
His Martial Immortal Golden Body had surged by 5%, and the increase in the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame was far beyond his wildest estimations.
It had skyrocketed from 4% to 30%!
The assistance provided by the Heart Monkey Fire was truly transformative! Furthermore, the surge in Dao Tribulation Power provided an immediate boost to his overall Martial Cultivation!
Boom——!!!
Li Che rose slowly to his feet.
A presence as vast as a mountain range rolled off him in waves.
His forehead seemed to split slightly, revealing a faint, mystical Golden Heavenly Gate.
He clenched his five fingers, thrusting them slowly through the air.
Immediately, golden light scorched the atmosphere. The very void grew dense, and a terrifying, auspicious Qilin manifested behind him, shedding brilliant light in all directions.
A piercing cry rang out, as if the Qilin were performing a final, destructive dance upon the mortal realm!
Immortal Seed, Qilin Suppression Seal!
Major Accomplishment!
Li Che’s eyes sparked with auspicious brilliance as he spread his fingers and pressed the Equal to Heaven mask onto his face.
The Heaven and Earth chessboard tore into the sky, expanding rapidly.
Looking through the board, Li Che spotted the Second Disaster Black Bull Demon God Venerable, who was currently stomping through the Inner City with his Sea-crossing Purple Gold Beam.
A subtle, cold smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.
The Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod appeared in his hand.
Killing intent instantly surged toward the heavens!
Draped in his black robes, he launched himself into the fray!
