As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1833 - 474: The Reborn, Rebellious, Unyielding, and Furious Crown Prince Slaughters All Gods; Immortals Among Humans [Monthly Ticket]

A crisis without parallel!

Flesh ripped apart amid countless wounds, the body teetering on the brink of shattering and bursting apart right then; the Martial Immortal Golden Body pushed to its breaking point!

Above all, every faction stooped to shameless depths, the Da Jing Dynasty Emperor himself masterminding a vicious plot by compelling a Divine Tribulation Cultivator to self-destruct and unleash his calamity, thereby skyrocketing the Martial Immortal Heavenly Tribulation's menace and ferocity.

Thankfully, the physique proved resilient enough, bolstered by the [Lei-Ci Dao Body] Dao Fruit that voraciously drained the tribulation thunder's force, enabling survival through the dire trial.

Still, Li Che teetered on death's edge, until a fragment of the Primordial Withering Branch’s essence inverted the wheel of life and death, reviving him with renewed vigor.

Li Che held his ground, his formidable frame boasting muscles and bones resembling Qiu Long, every fiber taut and refusing any slack, since peril clung persistently, burrowing into him like maggots in bone marrow, breeding constant dread.

"Martial Arts Immortal... Immortality carved from the Martial Path; if deemed Immortal Dao, its pinnacle surpasses the Divine Dao ruling heaven and earth today."

"Martial Arts Immortal surpasses Human Immortal with higher Immortal Dao stages ahead; one day, it might ascend to Heavenly Immortal, defying heaven and earth, forever unshackled!"

Li Che’s gaze sharpened.

Right as the breakthrough surged complete, a grand bell pealed within his consciousness, unveiling the rank of his martial cultivation realm.

Furthermore, Li Che sensed a key difference.

Upon reaching Martial Arts Immortal, though heavenly rejection lingered, his presence in the mortal realm lacked the inescapable doom of Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations afflicting Divine Tribulation Realm experts.

He could roam the human world unbound, unleashing martial might and explosive strength at full capacity.

Li Che felt profound astonishment—was this the unique trait of Martial Arts Immortal?

Or did the Pure Martial Path represent humanity's primal Dao?

This notion rang true: Divinity stemmed from the Mysterious Temple born of the Strange Que, corrupting the mortal realm and birthing the cultivation system.

Prior to that, the Martial Path reigned supreme!

Boom boom boom——

All of a sudden.

Ancient bell tolls reverberated into Li Che's ears.

He jerked his head up, gaze locking toward Qi Tian City, the chimes originating from deep inside the city.

"Qitian Inner City?"

Li Che's brows knitted tightly.

Next, the heavens over Qi Tian City warped into illusion, chaotic streams twisting wildly, forming enormous fissures across the sky.

An overwhelming aura of peril saturated the atmosphere, not just spiking Li Che's senses but instilling every nearby cultivator with profound terror and reverence, hearts gripped by towering fear!

Li Che balled his fists, misty golden qi-blood shrouding his golden form, the Golden Heavenly Gate suspended above, Martial Immortal Dao Essence seamlessly integrated into his body, amplifying his strength immensely!

Even so, with this fresh surge of power, Li Che quaked in horror.

As if apocalyptic doom crashed upon the world, spawning waves of utter hopelessness.

This peril targeted him directly!

Li Che clenched into a fist, the Three-point double-edged knife dropping into his grasp, his full golden qi-blood erupting skyward.

Countless powerhouses who had flocked from distant lands to behold the event stood stunned.

Even elites from Western Regions Buddha Land, Wushen Mountain, and Da Jing Dynasty showed shock—did rival forces plot to thwart the Earthly Ghost Emperor’s ascension?

Denying the Underworld a Martial Immortal and further ascent?

Why hold back until now?

The Earthly Ghost Emperor had already conquered the tribulation, fusing Martial Immortal Dao Yun perfectly with his physique, attaining genuine Martial Immortal status!

"What is happening?"

Shockwaves still rippled through every heart.

All eyes fixed on Qi Tian City's transformations, where Qitian Inner City's towering walls failed to hide the spectacle.

Boundless enigmatic mists swirled and surged endlessly; onlookers glimpsed a vast landmass drifting through infinite haze, draped in myriad mysterious fog tendrils...

As though a separate realm within Qitian Inner City drew near!

The void quaked fiercely, divinity's density exploding a thousandfold in that instant, seething like liquid on a scorching wok!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh——

A gust of wind swept by, lifting everyone's spirits as they sensed the divine essence between heaven and earth surging dramatically.

Crash crash——

The thick divinity condensed into liquid drops, raining down like a fierce storm of divine precipitation!

These endless divine streams poured down relentlessly, quickly wrapping around the newly promoted Earthly Ghost Emperor and forming a canopy above him.

Divinity roused in an instant, gaining awareness, as though gods trembled their forms to shake off divinity, birthing a sentient intent that targeted the fresh Martial Immortal!

Intending to latch onto its body, converting the Martial Immortal Body into the ultimate Body of Martial God!

"It’s the Strange Que... this is the calamity emerging from the Strange Que!"

Li Che’s hair stood on end.

At this instant, Qi Tian City was blanketed by a colossal divine force, the void trembling and nearly crumbling, with countless martial artists shaking uncontrollably and gasping for air.

Several Grotto Heavens drifted and swayed, powerhouses within casting stunned gazes outward.
