As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1815 - 470: The Daughter of Prison Lotus, Born Under the Heavenly Slaughter Star, Actually Has a Father; Qi Tian Protector Devours Heaven and Earth Essence Qi [Monthly Ticket Requested]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
His body shook fiercely from head to toe, blood raging wildly, as waves of blazing heat kept surging forth from within.
During his clash with the Black Bull Demon God Venerable in Qi Tian Inner City, Li Che depleted every last trump card, finally shattering his limits in the martial path to step into the Golden Heavenly Gate. Inside it, the essence of the Martial Immortal was granted to him, crowning him as a Martial Immortal.
Yet Li Che understood deep down that this breakthrough hadn't gained true recognition from the heavens and earth.
Additionally, an instinct told him his Martial Immortal path remained incomplete.
Maybe only by channeling heaven and earth's will via mortal tribulations for another breakthrough could he fully enter the Martial Immortal realm.
Advancing to Martial Saint on the Divine Martial Dao turns one into a Martial God, setting foot on the road of Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.
Reaching Martial Saint on the Pure Martial Dao creates a Martial Immortal. What trials that path holds... Li Che had no clue, nor did he know the calamities awaiting him.
"In the age before the Mysterious Temple emerged and gods vanished, Martial Immortal was nothing but a myth."
Cross-legged in the Dominator Tower, Li Che's thick black hair whipped around ferociously without cease.
Inside his chest cavity, countless Dao Fruits throbbed with intense vitality.
Before him, streams of golden radiance drifted by, resembling curling incense smoke lazily floating past.
…
[Name: Li Che]
[Bonds: Li Nuanxi (daughter)]
[Progress: School Age (Seven years old)]
[Dao Fruits: Immortal Artisan (lv7, 5%), Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv7, 35%), Pure Heart (LV7, 15%), Chess Saint (LV6, 90%), Fairy in the Painting (lv6, 97%), Thunder Magnetism Dao Body (lv6, 5%), Dream Master (lv4, 10%), Ten Thousand Demon Emperor (lv6, 90%)]
…
[Hint: For every year the bond object grows safely, the Dao Tree can produce a Dao Fruit]
…
The familiar Dao Fruit interface finally appeared once more.
Li Che could almost hear the Dao Tree rustling, every leaf holding a whole world as it refined its profound essence.
As his eyelids lifted and fell, Li Che felt in high spirits.
From slaying the Black Bull Demon God Venerable and battling numerous Divine Tribulation Venerables, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit's upgrade to Level 7 had surged impressively to 35% maturity!
It brimmed with massive Tao Fruit Instant Enlightenment Feedback!
This feedback from the Tao Fruit ignited Li Che's heart with wild thrill, stirring an impatient drive.
Even more striking were the advances in the Chess Saint Dao Fruit and Fairy in the Painting Dao Fruit. Since arriving in Qi Tian City, Li Che had relied on them far more often.
Both now surpassed 90% maturity, with [Fairy in the Painting] especially boosted by the fierce duel against the Black Bull Demon God Venerable—its power drained completely amid Mo City's destruction, now gradually mending... That mending fuels its growth.
Li Che figures that when Mo City Fengdu fully recovers,
the [Fairy in the Painting] Dao Fruit will break through to Level 7!
Moreover, the [Ten Thousand Demon Emperor] Dao Fruit quivers nonstop.
Because after felling the Black Bull Demon God Venerable, Li Che skipped absorbing its demon energy right away. Instead, he seized its soul for revival to aid Qi Tian's defense.
Now that Qi Tian's battle is over and the resurrection complete,
Li Che needs to absorb the demon energy from a Two Calamities Demon God Venerable.
Perched cross-legged on the Dominator Tower,
Li Che's eyes snapped open, his robust black locks lashing out sharply, muscles and bones thundering amid the torrent of vital qi and blood.
"My Martial Immortal Golden Body trembles, as the Martial Immortal Dao Essence fuses steadily into my frame, yet... it demands vast Essence Qi, along with... Heaven and Earth Will's validation."
Li Che knit his brows, sensing his body's condition.
The peak of his fleshly form hadn't arrived yet; crucially, despite entering the Golden Heavenly Gate and claiming the Martial Immortal Dao Essence,
the essence failed to blend seamlessly with his body, manifesting only as a faint silhouette beyond his form.
This wouldn't do; delaying full integration meant the Martial Immortal Dao Essence and his physique would stay forever apart, unmergeable, birthing a fatal weakness that bars true Martial Immortal status!
After beholding divine warfare, Li Che's thirst for strength roared like a raging flood, impossible to contain.
Besides, instinct warned him Xi Xi's origins would draw countless foes in time.
Those dream visions of corpse mountains and blood oceans—how could he abandon Xi Xi to face them solo?
As her father, he simply wished to quietly observe his daughter's growth, so any looming corpse mountains and blood seas aimed her way... he'd clear them personally first—Razing Peaks, Parting Oceans!
His fingers twitched lightly.
A chess piece hurtled forth at blinding speed.
Like a colossal peak, the Black Bull Demon God Venerable's form materialized, demonic aura exploding wildly, churning and seething!
"Greetings, Lord!"
Though the Black Bull Demon God Venerable's eyes held mixed emotions, it knelt in obeisance regardless.
Li Che gave a faint nod: "Unleash your demon energy."
At those words, the Black Bull Demon God Venerable acted without delay, summoning the demonic power from its core.
Rumble——
Demonic energy exploded outward in torrents, roiling endlessly, like a supreme savage black bull looming across Mo City's heavens!
Li Che splayed his five fingers, locking on from afar.
In his chest, the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit pounded fiercely, turning his torso into a devouring whirlpool that ravenously drew in the demonic energy!
Demonic power poured into the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit, its progress skyrocketing.
This came from a Two Calamities Demon God Venerable!
Utterly exceptional!
Boom——
Once Li Che fully consumed the Black Bull Demon God Venerable's demonic energy,
Li Che's eyes flew wide, black demonic streams swirling in his irises.
