As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1768 - 460: Surviving Thousands of Years for This Day to Protect the Equaling Heaven, Breaking Free to Become the Temple Guardian Curse Corpse King...

"Among my Immortal Seed Martial Arts, the [Qilin Suppression Seal] has reached Major Accomplishment, [Heavenly Stepping] is at Minor Accomplishment, [Thousand Mountains Solo Sky-cutting Blade] remains at entry-level, and the [Heavenly Gang Immortal Martial 72 Changes] hasn't been cultivated yet..."

"At least the issue regarding the four Qimen Immortal Seeds is settled for now..."

Li Che released a long, steady breath.

Regrettably, he lacked the time to focus on guiding the Divine Seed at this moment. Successfully pushing the Heavenly Stepping Immortal Seed Martial Art beyond the entry-level to Minor Accomplishment was already a welcome surprise.

One could say that Li Che had secured the Qitian Inheritance by complete happenstance.

With a single intention, he exited Mo City Fengdu.

He materialized instantly back within the Qitian Inner City, stepping out from the Supreme Palace.

The Dao Fruit of [Dragon Elephant Vajra] pulsed deep within his chest, and he channeled the energy of the Slumbering Dragon Elephant, effectively erasing his presence from the heaven and earth.

It felt as though he had morphed into an invisible phantom, existing entirely within the void.

"Tasks that were daunting in the Qitian Outer City seem trivial to manage now..."

"There are still four Second Calamities and Three Tribulations Demon Gods remaining... Perfect. I shall dispatch all of you to the underworld."

Had he remained in the Qitian Outer City, Li Che would have been cautious of the Demon Race's pervasive demon energy, fearing that he might alert the Big Black Bull. However, now that he had reached the inner city, the timing, terrain, and circumstances favored him immensely, allowing him to act without restraint.

Donning the Equal to Heaven’s Face, his actions became unbridled and bold!

...

...

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The Qitian Inner City stretched out, vast and boundless.

Rows of grand, luxurious palaces stood like blooming flora across the white jade landscape, while the Inner City River wound its way like the trunk of an ancient tree reaching toward its end.

Boom—

A terrifying wave of demon energy rippled through the air. The massive Green Lion Demon God, its thick mane flowing wildly, strode across the jade ground with the weight of a mountain.

Every footfall caused the earth to quake violently.

It had finally managed to lose the temple guardian cursed corpses that were hounding it, feeling a sense of newfound liberation.

Even a Three Tribulations Demon God of the Green Lion’s caliber felt its hair stand on end when confronted by a swarm of those relentless temple guardians.

The Green Lion Demon God’s eyes flickered with a dull glow, its gaze fixed on the Qitian Temple—that palatial structure perched upon a hill at the far edge of the inner city.

Envy burned brightly within its eyes.

"If I can acquire the Qitian opportunity, I might just break through the First Calamity and attain the rank of a Second Disaster Venerable!"

The Green Lion Demon God was consumed by longing.

Within the human realm’s Ten Thousand Rivers, where the demon clans gathered, there existed only six Two Calamities Demon God Venerables in total.

The Green Lion Demon God did not serve under the Black Bull Demon God Venerable; rather, it answered to a different mastermind and had been sent specifically to spy on the Black Bull’s activities.

The beast’s resolve hardened.

"Even a demon should have dreams. Without them, what distinguishes a demon from a salted fish?"

The Green Lion Demon God was a dreamer, and it intended to charge toward the Qitian Temple to claim its destiny.

Suddenly.

As it lifted a claw to advance, the Green Lion Demon God felt its mane bristle; an overwhelming threat had materialized behind it.

"What?!"

"Who goes there? Attempting to ambush me!"

The creature’s hackles rose, the chilling sensation of impending death spreading across its hide like an icy web.

Was there some foul, hidden presence lurking in the Qitian Inner City?

Boom—!!!

Explosive demon energy surged forth, mingling with a crushing aura of divinity that crashed over the area like a tsunami.

The power of One Disaster Three Tribulations manifested as a Disaster Wheel, its oppressive pressure filling the air.

The lion swung a massive paw with lethal speed.

Space itself fractured under the strain of the blow, with the energy of three tribulations spiraling around its strike.

But then, a stick emitting a dazzling golden radiance whipped out, weaving countless flickering shadows into a dense net. The Green Lion Demon God squinted and realized these silhouettes were forming a massive Immortal Furnace.

It felt as if it were being swallowed whole by the blazing construct.

Eight miniature suns ignited inside the furnace, bathing the vicinity in brilliant, blinding light.

The Green Lion Demon God could hardly keep its eyes open; the heat and glare were like a thousand scorching lights flooding the space.

Amidst that searing inferno, the beast finally identified its attacker.

A slender figure wearing a monkey face mask—marked by a sharp nose and thin lips—stood perched atop the Immortal Furnace.

A staff twisted violently, the head spinning with such intensity that it tore a massive vortex into the very fabric of space.

The Treasure Stick slammed into the Immortal Furnace with earth-shattering force.

Clang—

The furnace trembled like an ancient temple bell atop a frigid peak, sending shockwaves rippling through the air.

The structure buckled and disintegrated in a violent explosion!

Countless staff shadows rained down, pelting the Green Lion Demon God with relentless, crushing strikes.

"Roar—!!!"

The Green Lion Demon God bellowed in agony, attempting to unleash its own power, but its sturdy hide was shredded, and its demon blood painted the jade floor.

The sheer magnitude of this force was truly terrifying.

Boom—!

As the Green Lion Demon God stumbled and looked up, it realized a colossal black gateway—oozing with death qi—was hovering directly above it.

The massive entrance descended, swallowing the world in shadow until it was the final sight the demon would ever witness.
