As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1769 - 460: Surviving Millennia Only to Guard Equaling Heaven Today, Breaking Shackles to Become the Temple Guardian Curse Corpse King
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Upon opening his eyes, the Green Lion Demon God realized he had been transported into the depths of the black city.
Ink-dark rain pelted down continuously, only to be shredded by the swirling wall of demon energy surrounding him!
"Yet another one..."
"What a letdown, devoid of toxins, just a pathetic facade."
"Old Dragon Head, the task rests with you now."
A hollow, faint voice drifted through the air.
The Green Lion Demon God glanced upward to find a thin, gaunt figure clad in the traditional robes of an alchemist. Suddenly, a torrent of demon energy erupted as the Sea Flipping Nine Infants launched its assault!
Four brutal heads descended, instantly slamming the Green Lion Demon God into a jagged crater in the earth.
Their jaws clamped down with savage force!
Crimson blood sprayed everywhere, while the immense demon energy surged and boiled uncontrollably.
Within the Qitian Inner City, Li Che, donning the Equal to Heaven’s Face, leaned his head slightly while clutching the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod atop the Fengdu City Tower. He remained motionless, silently observing the unfolding chaos within Mo City Fengdu.
"The first one is down."
...
...
Back in the Qitian Inner City, a grand palace gate creaked open.
This structure once belonged to a Divine Tribulation Cultivator and contained several vials of Three Pure Ranks elixirs. A graceful woman with a serpentine waist swayed as she stepped out into the open.
Her alluring face radiated delight as her slender fingers clutched the sparkling pill bottles.
"The haul is quite impressive..."
"No one knows what transpired within the Inner City of the Equal Heaven Temple ages ago. Those deceased Great God Cultivators lacked the time to gather their own treasures, leaving them as easy pickings for us explorers."
The Spirit Water Demon God, a creature of serpentine origin, possessed an innate seductiveness. Her waist was narrow enough to be spanned by a single hand, and she wore tight green-scaled attire that accentuated her provocatively tempting physique.
Suddenly, she narrowed her gaze, sweeping her Heaven and Earth Soul outward with a ripple of demon energy. After discerning the identity of the visitor, however, she felt her anxiety dissipate.
"Is that you, Brother Green Lion?"
The Spirit Water Demon God swayed her hips and greeted him with a playful smile. The Green Lion Demon God, however, let his eyes roam over her body in a predatory manner, causing the woman to pout in annoyance before she stored the elixirs away into her Qiankun Space.
"What is the rush, Brother Green Lion?"
She moved closer to entangle herself with the massive form of the Green Lion Demon God. Suddenly, the light in her eyes faded as she realized what was happening.
The Green Lion Demon God’s claw had unexpectedly struck her chest with such ferocity that it shattered her defenses. Affixed to his paw was a pill as dark as jet-black jade, which immediately erupted into a lethal cloud of toxic mist...
"Ah——!!!"
The Spirit Water Demon God shrieked in agony.
In a fit of frenzied greed, the Green Lion Demon God roared, "Sister Lingshui, it is time to depart!"
He gripped her neck with five powerful fingers, slammed her to the ground, and charged forward, crashing straight into a sudden portal bleeding with death Qi. The characters for Fengdu flickered with the malevolent light of the underworld.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh——
Howling death Qi filled the air. The Divine Monkey, gripping his legendary staff, let out a light laugh.
"The second one is confirmed."
...
...
A silent and unseen massacre was unfolding across the Qitian Inner City. High above, the Heaven and Earth chessboard hovered permanently, casting a shadow that eclipsed the sun.
Li Che felt no pity for these members of the Demon Race. Their kind was inherently savage, treating the slaughter and consumption of humans as casually as eating a daily meal. With two 'one disaster and three tribulations' Demon Gods now under his command, eliminating the final pair became a trivial matter.
The Green Lion Demon God acted in tandem with the Spirit Water Demon God. Her seduction served as the perfect cover for his treacherous backstabbing, utilizing poison and brute force with cold efficiency. Following this identical strategy, the final two Demon Gods of the same rank were subdued and cast into Mo City Fengdu.
Splash splash——
As the ink-black rain descended, Li Che stood firm, his Divine Monkey Mask fixed in place and his Mo Shan cloak snapping in the wind. Before him stood four Demon Gods in various stances, radiating both fear and fervent loyalty.
Behind them lay their actual corpses: a Green-faced Lion King the size of a hill, a python as thick as a massive pillar, a spider reminiscent of a small hill, and a colossal clawed scorpion. These were the Green Lion, Spirit Water, Nine-Eyed, and Giant Claw Demon Gods.
Having added the two Demon Gods of the second and first tribulation realms—whom Li Che had neutralized earlier in the Outer City—to his tally, he now commanded a total of nine powerful Venerables. The lesser first-tribulation gatekeepers were no longer of any concern; he didn't even bother to end their lives.
"That is enough."
"This will surely give that Big Black Bull quite a surprise..."
Li Che surveyed his band of warriors with pride as his robes billowed behind him.
"My Lord."
The elderly Gu Yinxuan, dressed in his professional alchemist garb, approached with a beaming expression. "My Lord, it is complete! I have finally succeeded in refining the Thousand Bone Centipede Powder!"
This toxin ranked eighth in the Heavenly Poison Divine Pill Scripture. Li Che felt his eyes light up; according to Gu Yinxuan, even a Second Calamity Realm Demon God Venerable would be susceptible to its influence!
"It is truly unfortunate that the seventh-ranked poison, the [Golden Winged Thousand Bee Blood Honey], remains so difficult to stabilize... though if mastered, it could pose a genuine threat to a Second Calamity Divine Tribulation Venerable!"
"I have spent years in seclusion, and Gu Yangxuan has tirelessly gathered materials for the Heavenly Poison Pill Scripture. Nearly all components are present, yet the process of refinement remains immensely complicated. Still, for your sake, my Lord, I would gladly risk my life a dozen times over."
Gu Yinxuan’s loyalty was absolute. He took genuine pleasure in crafting these lethal concoctions, viewing the prospect of his own mortality as a joyous sacrifice.
