As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1826: 472: Fairy in the Painting V: Shedding the Primordial Withering Branch, Breaking Through the Peerless Martial Immortal During the Blood Moon Night...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
After enduring the multiple flashes from the Withered and Flourishing Branch,
Li Che at last seized a wisp of Primordial Wood Tribulation.
He gradually lifted his palm, revealing a bean black as ink within his grasp. Solid in form, it concealed the force of Tao Tribulation. Should it enter the body, it would voraciously drain vitality, lifespan, and Essence Qi…
“Though it’s just a single grain… if there were tens of thousands in the future, it would be terrifying.”
“Where should this Primordial Wood Tribulation be integrated into the Divine Seed Martial Arts?”
To elevate that Divine Seed Martial Arts into Immortal Seed Martial Arts?
Before long, Li Che reached his choice.
Among his many Divine Seed Martial Arts, he selected the least prominent one.
“The Blood Tears Divine Phoenix Life and Death Arrow is an archery technique, yet truly, with my array of Immortal Work Barrett, I’ve overlooked this bow skill. Now… it’s time to explore it deeply.”
“From now on, I shall become an Immortal Arrow Hero!”
A faint smile tugged at Li Che’s lips as he concealed the Withered and Flourishing Branch calamity seed within the arrow.
The fresh title for this martial art emerged in Li Che’s thoughts.
Immortal Seed·Blood-Weeping Immortal Phoenix Withering Glory Arrow!
BOOM——
Li Che rose from the meditation courtyard, his mighty Qi-Blood surging explosively, launching into martial arts practice right in the Qi Tian Inner City!
He started drawing in the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi from Qi Tian Inner City.
Yet it proved insufficient.
As he absorbed some Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, vast divinity flooded in, blending relentlessly, attempting to invade his form.
A potent allure assailed him, tempting Li Che like cheers and cries, promising massive cultivation leaps, instant unrivaled might, and power to match deities upon devouring divinity!
This seduction was utterly terrifying!
“I must still achieve breakthrough to Martial Immortal Realm in the human world. Though tainted by divinity, the human world remains the Martial Arts Pure Land compared to Strange Que.”
Li Che pondered deeply.
Martial Dao Will thundered, golden radiance erupted from his eyes, his skin gleamed, dark hair turned golden and flew upward with a fierce roar, staunchly repelling the lure!
BOOM——
A fist thrust forward, shattering countless divinities, leaving solely pure Heaven and Earth Essence Qi that charged like a golden dragon, surging into his body and spreading everywhere!
…
…
Moments slipped away steadily.
In no time, half a month flew by unnoticed.
Beyond Qi Tian City, the scene had turned extraordinarily bustling.
The Temple God of Qi Tian’s revival loomed, set to help the Earthly Ghost Emperor ascend to Martial Immortal Realm, claiming the sole Martial Immortal spot in five millennia!
The entire human world watched intently, and word had spread to Strange Que, drawing gazes from gods across factions.
Outside Qi Tian City, crowds swelled with martial artists from Four Seas and Eight Desolates, drawn for cultivation pursuits.
Some trekked on foot, others dashed, many depleted their Qi-Blood en route.
At last, they reached Qi Tian City’s outskirts.
Vast Qi-Blood blanketed the heavens like a tidal swell, nowhere had assembled such a throng of martial artists.
The sheer Qi-Blood potency nearly scattered the divinity.
Sunset blazed like flames, the crimson sun dipped west, bathing the world in fiery hues akin to martial artists’ Qi-Blood.
True Martial Divine Sect Master Shi Jian led sect disciples, encamping distantly outside Qi Tian City, as if in reverence.
Grand Prospect Dynasty officials clustered, while Da Li Royal Court’s elite generals donned disguises, crossing East Sea to Qi Tian City’s fringes.
Over East Sea, waves churned as Martial Saint powerhouses wave-trod, converging outside Qi Tian City to behold the Martial Immortal breakthrough.
After all, recent Martial Immortals lingered only in ancient tomes, etched as legends in history.
Qi Tian City’s air thickened with tension.
All felt the Earthly Ghost Emperor’s Martial Immortal challenge neared swiftly.
Lv Taibai and Lv Qiankun sensed crushing pressure.
Fang Hanshu, having finished Jade Talisman insights aided by Qi Tian, rejoined Lv Taibai, Confucian robes billowing, beard elegantly swaying.
“Something feels off…”
Lv Taibai drew a deep breath.
Fang Hanshu clutched the Holy Sage Book, refining Jade Talisman inheritance: “Of course something’s wrong. The Underworld has provoked countless powers, especially now linked tacitly to Prison Lotus Camp…”
“Thus, myriad forces oppose Underworld’s rise. Earthly Ghost Emperor’s Martial Immortal breakthrough demands heaven’s certification, and saboteurs will surely strike covertly.”
Fang Hanshu remarked calmly.
Lv Taibai perched in a Qi Tian Outer City restaurant. Today, Qi Tian Outer City regained splendor, echoing its former pinnacle pride.
Population mirrored peak eras, commerce revived with vendors calling, major powers embedding.
“Western Regions Buddha Land, Ten Thousand Rivers, Wushen Mountain… Martial Gods arrive from them all, backed by All Gods Camp, their motives far from pure.”
“Likely, during Earthly Ghost Emperor’s breakthrough push to Martial Immortal, some will bait tribulation with their flesh, amplifying Martial Immortal Tribulation’s horror! Thus slaying the Earthly Ghost Emperor…”
“Just one Divine Tribulation, a sacrificial moth drawing doom, trades for felling an Underworld titan—what a sharp, gratifying ploy?”
Fang Hanshu gave a light chuckle.
Yet, Soul Capturing-transformed by Li Che, Fang Hanshu knew Earthly Ghost Emperor was Li Che.
As sunset vanished fully, crimson sun erased from human world!
A massive lunar disk ascended, its chill glow washing the human realm.
Qi Tian City erupted in clamor.
“Quick! Qitian Temple God manifests atop Inner City tower!”
A voice bellowed.
Excitement flushed faces, a deity appearing in flesh!
Instantly, ripples spread like a stone in waves.
Qi Tian City’s vast streets jammed, Inner City gate swarmed with figures.
Mostly martial artists from afar, Qi-Blood roiling, passion blazing.
Fervent eyes fixed on the stooped Old Monkey atop Inner City tower.
Plain-clad Old Monkey bore a bamboo-thin golden rod, tapping it cane-like.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Crowds below surged wildly.
Qi-Blood amassed like inferno, abyss, or ocean, seemingly piercing firmament, shaking stars and moon.
Night visibly brightened.
“So many people…”
Old Monkey sighed softly.
Martial Immortal breakthrough truly grand in human world. In this age, Martial Immortals scarce indeed.
None could quell Divine Martial Dao upgrade’s thrill, fatal bait.
Buzz—
Purple flame seemed to flicker upward.
Then it birthed purple blaze, igniting a warped shadow.
Black robe billowed rustlingly, golden crown gleamed, purple flames surged, shifting to dragon or elephant forms.
“Are you ready?”
Gazing at the abruptly appearing burly form, its savage Qi-Blood, towering vitality, Old Monkey narrowed eyes.
“Thank you for the trouble, senior.”
Li Che’s eyes pitch-black, purple flames weaving into free-flowing hair strands.
“Proceed, exit Qi Tian City, breakthrough beyond walls.”
“Qi Tian City straddles Strange Que-human world border, unfit for breakthrough.”
“Fully return to human world.”
Old Monkey instructed.
Li Che nodded.
Next instant, toes pressed earth.
Body vaulted down, landing in Qi Tian Outer City beneath Inner City walls.
Uproar exploded instantly.
Countless martial artists’ stares converged on Earthly Ghost Emperor’s figure.
Hidden experts from forces eyed from scattered restaurants, teahouses across Qi Tian City.
Li Che flung arms wide, black robe sleeves whipping wildly, trailing behind.
Then he strode from city.
Masses parted like waters, forging path out Qi Tian City, beyond Mysterious Fog shield.
Whole Qi Tian City hushed, as if deathly still.
Under myriad gazes, all eyes fixed.
Li Che crossed Qi Tian Outer City gate.
Black boots hit soil outside Qi Tian City.
Suddenly.
Monstrous Qi-Blood erupted, primal purple fire raged, Blood Qi rocketed skyward!
Silver moon overhead turned blood moon!
Divinity everywhere crushed, Eight Desolates Essence Qi tidal-surged!
As if body’s martial seal fully unlocked!
