As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1857 - 479: Immortal Seeds Detonated, Immortal Energy Formed; Martial Immortal Ghost Emperor’s Tragic Battle to the Bitter End [Monthly Ticket Requested]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
No need for such a thing—the Earthly Ghost Emperor is a Mortal Martial Immortal possessing boundless prospects. Exchanging lives with merely two Three Tribulations Venerables would be an enormous loss!
...
...
Orange lights glowed within the restaurant.
Xi Xi gripped her fists tightly, tension flashing in her wide eyes.
The All Gods camp's power was utterly dominant.
To merely hold Qi Tian City, they stationed countless powerhouses, among them nine Second Calamity Venerables—rare sights in the human realm—and even three of Third Tribulation level.
A force like that brings pure despair.
Naturally, this stemmed from the transformation after Qi Tian City's fall: Qi Tian Outer City now lay under the shroud of Qi Tian Mysterious Temple's Strange Que, bridging it with Strange Que itself and enabling those Second Calamity Venerables to unleash their strikes.
"Will Ghost Emperor Master truly perish alongside them?"
Xi Xi felt deep reluctance, her tiny fists clenched hard as chills wracked her trembling frame.
By now, Xi Xi had grasped many hidden truths.
Through dealings with forces like Deceit Demon Cave, Dark Heavenly Court, and Black Sumeru from the gods' side, she had come to know the Prison Lotus camp and the fierce rivalries and suppressions it shared with the other three camps.
Xi Xi realized her own body bore the taint of the Prison Lotus Curse, binding her inseparably to the Prison Lotus camp.
Thus, Xi Xi yearned desperately for Ghost Emperor Master to triumph!
Lord Dog sprawled across the rooftop, his sleek black fur gleaming like it was oiled, radiating endless luster.
At Xi Xi's question, Lord Dog let out a sly chuckle.
Don't you understand your father's temperament?
A man as cautious as him would never choose the road to mutual ruin!
What they call mutual destruction demands the foe's certain death while he risks only a bit of fur!
Lord Dog understood Li Che perfectly.
...
...
For the first time, Li Che ignited four Qi Gate Immortal Seeds.
His spine quivered as the Martial Immortal Golden Body rang out without cease, streams of light exploding and weaving wildly, his blood surging like it might shatter under the overwhelming might.
Qilin Suppression Seal, Thousand Mountains Solo Sky-cutting Blade, Crying Blood Immortal Phoenix Withering Glory Arrow, Heavenly Stepping!
Fused with Primordial Tribulation Power, these four Qi Gate Immortal Seeds brimmed with horrifying energy.
The moment Li Che set them off, four immortal pillars erupted skyward, harmonizing with the Golden Heavenly Gate, poised to rend the very heavens!
Faintly, within those four golden whirlpools, arcane energy motes converged, twisting into form.
This was a transcendent force, unlike Essence Qi, Divinity, or Dao Yun—something primal and enigmatic from ancient times.
Li Che's heart stirred faintly!
"Immortal energy?!"
The phrase leaped unbidden into his thoughts, as if pushing the Qi Gate Immortal Seed to its limit along the spinal dragon could summon and then dispel immortal energy!
Yet that sensation flickered briefly before vanishing entirely.
In this immortal-less age, how could true immortal energy possibly form?!
Li Che's mind raced—perhaps driving the Qi Gate Immortal Seed to its utmost could indeed produce immortal energy?
Still, that remained distant; right now, he couldn't muster even a wisp.
Detonating the Qi Gate Immortal Seed yielded only a fleeting mirage.
Four colossal suns ascended behind him, their golden radiance grinding like millstones, flooding the world and shredding the veil of night to banish all shadow!
Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable, golden feathers crowning his head, released wisps of divine aura from his piercing eagle gaze.
Across from him, the Angry Buddha Vajra narrowed his eyes, his colossal golden form rumbling with roars.
Doubt crept into their minds, questioning if they should burn out completely with the Earthly Ghost Emperor.
Reluctance gnawed at them—they had ascended to these peaks, weathering eons in Strange Que, so why end it all today alongside the Earthly Ghost Emperor?
Li Che pierced their thoughts with a cold sneer.
His five fingers curled tight, left hand bones vibrating as Martial Immortal Will surged forth.
Lacking even the resolve for mutual destruction.
Your fate is sealed.
Li Che's body extended, muscles and bones harmonizing in a chorus, qi blasts echoing relentlessly as the Three-point double-edged knife unfurled, divine aura pouring from its edge.
In an instant, it crushed the Buddha Staff and that Supreme Golden Feather.
His entire being ascended into the void, striding across the firmament over Qi Tian Outer City. With every stride, the four great suns circled him closely, as though his form had ascended to ultimate transcendence, blazing endlessly without bounds!
All his power, Essence Qi, and Dao Yun ignited in a mad frenzy right then!
Boom—
The Heaven and Earth chessboard unfurled, activating Flying Star Teleportation.
He materialized in a flash before the two Three Tribulations Venerables, unleashing a magnificent slaughter!
It was a total, berserk confrontation!
Four Great Suns dominated the heavens like crushing weights, as winds and clouds raged wildly. Li Che’s fearsome physique burst forth with matchless might, unleashing explosive dragons that streaked like coiling beasts across the sky!
Bang——!!!
"Madman!"
Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable clashed head-on and vomited blood, wings beating behind him as his battle spirit utterly vanished from his heart.
The Earthly Ghost Emperor’s mad recklessness truly terrified him!
"Contemporary Martial Immortal, you’re not afraid for your life?!"
With wings flapping furiously, Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable morphed into a dark shadow, as if ripping space itself, desperately racing toward the Inner City!
Purple Fire blazed around the Earthly Ghost Emperor, shrouding his head.
He launched a punch infused with the Fighting Secret Technique—the inaugural form of the Combat Divine Technique—its might utterly peerless!
The Angry Buddha Vajra shattered in an instant, myriad Golden Lights erupting outward, exposing Three Tribulations Venerable Black Sumeru with blood dripping from his mouth’s edge.
His expression toward the Earthly Ghost Emperor brimmed with complexity.
As if striving to pierce the hidden true identity beneath those purple flames.
"The martial fortune of the human world is being wasted by you... what a pity, what a pity..."
The Angry Buddha Vajra had also ventured from the human world into Strange Que, enduring countless years, long abandoned all human connections, fully pledged to Black Sumeru’s faction.
Yet his origins still rooted in the Human World.
"Martial fortune? What is martial? Fighting is martial. If you fear death, how can you bear the martial fortune?"
Li Che gave a faint smile.
Within the seething torrent of fierce Gang Wind, Li Che’s Mo Shan lay in shards, baring his body wrapped and threaded with Qiu Long. His arms shot upward abruptly, and his whole form vanished instantly!
Boom——
The vast sky detonated!
Golden Light tore the night asunder!
Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable snarled in fury, hurtling toward the Inner City at breakneck speed.
The Angry Buddha Vajra heaved a long sigh toward the heavens: "Such words—fighting is martial..."
Boom!
This monk chose not to flee; his eyes gleamed with fierce brilliance, the Disaster Wheel at his back exploding in utmost splendor!
Li Che’s words appeared to have stirred something within him.
Rather than bolting to the Inner City like Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable, he stepped forward boldly, golden lights radiating from his form, surging skyward to reshape into a colossal Great Buddha!
The Great Buddha crouched amid the Nine Heavens, immersed rather than aloof, thronged by countless divinities like mortal fireworks—Seven Emotions and Six Desires incarnate, a Red Dust Vajra Buddha!
Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable spared a glance, inwardly damning the idiotic monk, then paid him no heed, shifting into a Golden Light streak and vanishing into Qitian Inner City.
The Supreme Demon God of the Deceit Demon Cave fell silent briefly but uttered nothing.
The matchless Martial Immortal blazed through the sky akin to four Great Suns, fist clenched tight as the Fighting Secret Technique detonated, endless Golden Blood Qi and dragons sprawling across the firmament!
Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant!
This Divine Seed Martial Arts, forged by Li Che and evolving into Immortal Seed Martial Arts, paired with the Fighting Secret Technique, unleashed staggering ferocity!
It hammered down ferociously upon the Golden Body Great Buddha!
In a blink, the punch evolved, aura climbing without cease; the fist radiance of Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant fused into one hundred and eight threads!
Boom——!!!
The Golden Buddha burst apart immediately, Three Tribulations Venerable Angry Buddha Vajra spewing blood.
Amid the scattering Golden Light, blood cascaded like a crimson downpour.
Four Great Suns flared behind the Earthly Ghost Emperor as he loomed in the vast sky; the Golden Buddha’s rupture scattered the monk’s plummeting blood rain into the whirling winds around him.
Li Che let out a soft breath.
"The monk is good, and can enter the underworld."
Fengdu Mo City’s gates creaked wide, a devouring suction erupting at once to swallow the flesh and blood of the first slain Three Tribulations Venerable.
With the four Vast Suns quivering behind him, Li Che's eyes locked onto the Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable escaping into the Inner City. He advanced step by step, each footfall crushing the void like war drums booming across the Heavenly Dome, charging straight at the Second Calamity Venerable clashing fiercely with the Sea Flipping Nine Infants.
His five fingers gripped tight, Dragon Elephant streaked through the heavens!
Stirring a vast dome of blood mist that erupted skyward!
Within Qi Tian City, all onlookers stood dumbfounded...
Countless martial artists felt shock mingled with joy, yet grief filled their hearts.
In their gazes,
the Earthly Ghost Emperor right now
had just ascended to Mortal Martial Immortal, but already reached the journey's end.
Blazing his essence to the limit, akin to a transient phantom.
Waging a final clash toward mutual ruin.
Far too tragic.
