As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1859 - 480: The Fall of the Ghost Emperor—True Burnout, Soul Capturing Erupts After the Night of Slaughter

Yet, right as he stirred, an intense scorching sensation assaulted him.

Behind the Earthly Ghost Emperor, the Mortal Martial Immortal, four scorching suns hovered, releasing a fearsome and mighty power as he bellowed and charged to slay!

A fist swept sideways, a colossal Dragon Elephant stretched across the void, like a massive cauldron crashing down!

Boom——!!

The cauldron exploded, waves of heat exploded outward, and how could the Venerable enduring the Second Calamity and First Tribulation withstand it? His form drenched in blood, he burst into a ceaseless cloud of blood mist!

Rumble——

Over the Heavenly Dome, a sorrowful crimson hue emerged, as though the previously dim night sky had been abruptly painted blood red.

Crash, crash...

Dense chains forged from Dao Yun tumbled across the Heavenly Dome, like the Great Dao of the human world in mourning, apparently a portent signaling the demise of a supreme being in the making.

Li Che quietly lifted his gaze, staring at the sky of the human world...

No...

Heaven and Earth Will, why intervene now?!

Does even Heaven and Earth Will believe Li Che is fated to perish in this fight?

Still, while igniting four Qimen Immortal Seeds proved taxing, claiming Li Che would perish was a bit over the top. Moreover, the Martial Immortal Golden Body proved far tougher, able to endure this onslaught, and with the Mo City Sovereign Avatar plus all of Mo City standing in for him, Li Che could never truly die.

But...

The involvement of Heaven and Earth Will made its display far too persuasive.

Within Qi Tian City, the Martial Brothers assaulting the gates shuddered one after another, their grief deepening. Even Heaven and Earth Will confirmed the Earthly Ghost Emperor, Mortal Martial Immortal, would fall here...

The eyes of countless Martial Artists reddened, they howled in fury, launching desperate assaults!

Battle, battle, battle!

Their fighting spirit blazed fully, the dread inspired by the All Gods Camp's power failed to dampen their resolve; they fixated solely on slaughter!

Over Qi Tian City.

Haoran’s Star River enveloped his figure, while Fang Hanshu, radiating brilliantly, appeared somewhat stunned.

A hint of confusion lingered in his eyes as he glanced toward Li Che's position.

Lord... Could he truly be falling in battle?

Yet Fang Hanshu swiftly collected himself, pondering why such a thought had crossed his mind.

A faint smile formed; how could Li Che possibly perish in a clash like this? Utterly impossible.

Only a dire peril threatening Xi Xi's safety, an inescapable disaster, could compel the Lord's death.

Just then would the Lord's end possibly come.

Thus, even as Heaven and Earth Will declared the Lord's death imminent.

It was surely a lie, absolutely a deception!

Rumble——

Blood hues roiled across the firmament overhead, crimson shackles intertwined with Dao Yun churned endlessly, blood rain fell swiftly, blood clouds amassed without cease, the whole world grew heavy, involuntarily stirring sorrow in hearts.

Maybe even Heaven and Earth Will grieved for the Martial Immortal who had burned through his lifespan, bearing the human world’s martial fortune across five millennia.

The celestial sign stretched to the edges of sight, its reach extending across the entire world!

...

...

Great Scenic Divine Capital.

Divine Capital Second City.

Eight Treasures Double Eave Drip Water Qintian Treasure Tower.

The nine-story Treasure Tower featured ornate beams and vivid colors.

Two silhouettes strolled beside the railings, positioning themselves high up, observing the blood-tainted heavenly omens.

Yue Taofu and Fang Shangzhen, Assistant Directors both, their white robes billowing, eyes brimming with astonishment and disbelief.

Yue Taofu calculated with his fingers, face twitching faintly: "Such an anomaly, such celestial phenomena..."

"Something’s not right... What happened?!"

Rather than divining with fingers, Fang Shangzhen dashed straight into a chamber in the Ninth City, flung the door wide, and stepped into the Ninth City's heart.

The Chief Supervisor perched motionless like a statue atop a Mystic Turtle's shell.

Fang Shangzhen performed a formal Qintian Ceremony bow to the seated Chief Supervisor.

The Chief Supervisor’s eyes, veiled in divine light and Dao Yun, gradually parted.

His sight pierced through dimensions instantly, beholding the swirling blood clouds, Dao Yun chains clashing within, the resounding heavenly spectacle.

"Mortal Martial Immortal falls, Heaven and Earth lament..."

The Chief Supervisor murmured softly.

Mortal Martial Immortal falls?

Fang Shangzhen jerked his head up, unavoidably remembering the epic occurrence almost a year prior before Qi Tian City, when the Earthly Ghost Emperor claimed the Mortal Martial Fortune, ascending to the Martial Immortal Realm...

In the boundless human world, likely only this single Martial Immortal remains!

"Is the Earthly Ghost Emperor about to perish?"

Fang Shangzhen felt a touch stunned.

Wasn’t it just... You labored so hard to achieve Martial Immortal, stirring up massive commotion, poised to stand as the primary adversary against Strange Que’s All Gods within the human realm, yet scarcely a year passes and you face death?!

"Chief Supervisor... He..."

Fang Shangzhen instinctively glanced upward.

The Chief Supervisor raised his palm, gesturing downward: "No need to fret... allow me some quiet."

Fang Shangzhen let out an "oh," fell silent, offered a respectful bow, and retreated from the Ninth Layer.

Once she had gone, the Chief Supervisor rubbed his fingers, a flicker of uncertainty appearing in his gaze.

"Qi Tian sacrificed himself, charging into the Earth Deceit Que... Not so you could wreak such havoc right after reaching Martial Immortal."

"The Earthly Ghost Emperor... doesn’t strike me as the sort to act so impulsively."

"There might be some hidden cause... I’ll divine it."

Buzz——

Abruptly, the Chief Supervisor thrust his hand forward in a wave, sending ripples through space that quivered and spread like liquid waves.

A vision then materialized.

Within the vision...

There appeared the Earthly Ghost Emperor himself, four fiercely glowing spheres erupting from his back, forming a swirling maelstrom of Qi-Blood resembling colossal suns, as he wrought devastation.

In the end, high above Qi Tian City, the Ghost Emperor advanced steadily across the void, concentric waves radiating outward, reminiscent of a Mortal Martial Saint on his ultimate tour following a total self-immolation.

The Ghost Emperor’s form looked as if it were transcending, golden Qi-Blood shooting upward like towering columns.

With every stride, deep sighs poured from the Ghost Emperor’s lips.
