As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1893 - 487: Glimpsing Nine Heavens and Ten Lands Bleeding, Thousand Calls for the Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit Fifth Transformation

He sensed that the connection he had painstakingly forged with the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner appeared to have been utterly obliterated.

Shattered by an immense, overwhelming force.

He endured some backlash, but the agony from this counterattack paled in comparison to the despair of losing the Gathering Immortals Flag...

"Your Majesty... Is something amiss, Your Majesty?"

Abruptly, a delicate, fragrant breeze swept through.

A figure of exquisite grace swiftly entered—it was Su Da, the youngest daughter of the Su Family.

However—

The instant Su Da set foot into the imperial mausoleum, the Emperor’s eyes blazed crimson, and as if teleporting, he materialized before her.

He raised his hand, his five fingers extending to grip her elegant neck, violently pressing her against the temple wall.

Su Da’s alluring, beautiful visage contorted instantly with profound distress and agony...

"Was it you?! Did you leak the news about the Gathering Immortals Flag?!"

The Emperor’s voice was harsh, dripping with an uncontainable murderous intent.

Su Da’s long, shapely legs thrashed relentlessly, her life force appearing to be gradually, completely severed.

Yet, the Emperor’s fingers clamped around Su Da’s throat were slowly, gently unclasped by a terrifying power.

"Foolish."

A voice that sent chills down the spine resounded.

As the Emperor’s sharp gaze swept towards the source.

He perceived that Su Da’s head had transformed into the head of a white fox, emanating an aura of aloofness and profound coldness.

"Qingqiu God!"

The ferocity and murderous intent in the Emperor’s eyes instantly dissipated, replaced by a sudden calm.

"What are you doing?"

Su Da’s fox head radiated an air of cruel disdain.

"What concern is the loss of the Gathering Immortals Flag to my Strange Demon Cavern? Why would my Strange Demon Cavern desire the Gathering Immortals Flag?"

"The power of the Gathering Immortals Flag is beyond our utilization, nor does it align with the Demon Race. Should my Demon Race covet anything, it would be the Divine Weapon concealed behind the Mysterious Temple, which lies beyond the ranks of The Three Pure Ones, situated behind the West Queen Mother’s Mysterious Temple!"

"This deity has already assisted you in obtaining Dan Shu Hu… that is the crucial element. If you could truly unlock that Mysterious Temple, acquiring the Heavenly Emperor’s legacy… whether it be the Haotian Tower, the Nine Dragons and Ten Thousand Tribulations Qi, or the Sealing Heaven Seal, all of these far surpass the Gathering Immortals Flag in importance."

"Undoubtedly, if all Eight Gathering Immortal Flags were amassed, perhaps that might capture my interest. But for a mere fragment of a banner, would this deity forfeit the opportunity to obtain the [Nine Dragons and Ten Thousand Tribulations Qi], which holds far greater allure for the Demon Race?"

Su Da stated coldly.

The Emperor’s expression contorted.

"Then who could it possibly be…"

Su Da’s fox eyes narrowed slightly.

"Perhaps those bald monks from Black Sumeru…"

The Emperor visibly trembled.

Su Da’s fox head slowly reverted to its original human form, revealing a captivating face as she gently extended a crimson tongue.

"Having lost the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner, you must hasten to secure the Gathering Immortal Yellow Flag…"

"Never mind, never mind, this deity shall lend you some assistance…"

"The Third Prince Temple God is on the verge of resurrection… undoubtedly, Li Che will make an appearance, as the Daughter of Prison Lotus shares a profound connection with the Third Prince Temple God. Therefore, this deity will accompany you to aid in acquiring the Gathering Immortal Yellow Flag."

Su Da murmured softly.

The Emperor’s body quivered, a glimmer of hope igniting in his eyes.

...

...

Li Che tightly gripped the Flying Thunder Chesspiece within his grasp, traversing the dimensional boundary between the Strange Que and the Human World.

The Space-Time Golden Wheel Dao Fruit drew upon a sliver of spacetime’s power, yet it was discernibly less potent than before.

And Li Che returned to Taibai Peak, concluding an exchange with the Painting Immortal Avatar, who had been observing Xi Xi’s succession ceremony.

"Hoo—"

Li Che exhaled a breath of turbid air.

The oppressive pressure emanating from confronting a Supreme Being was truly overwhelming.

He had never anticipated that a Supreme from the Hunting God Pavilion would abruptly shatter space to deliver an attack...

It appeared that his ruse of impersonating a Hunting God Pavilion assassin to stir up trouble had not gone entirely unnoticed.

The Hunting God Pavilion was not entirely oblivious.

"Ultimately, it was my first attempt at framing the Hunting God Pavilion; my inexperience showed."

Li Che muttered to himself.

Next time, after successfully shifting the blame, one must make a swift escape, a leisurely run is not an option, as the Hunting God Pavilion Supreme might reappear.

Suddenly.

Merely moments after Li Che had exhaled.

Within the confines of his chest cavity.

The Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit began to tremble and throb erratically.

Dong dong dong dong dong—

Like the booming of thunderclaps, as if the Heavenly Gods themselves were beating war drums!

Inside the Inner Scenery of his Energy Center, roaring vibrations surged, and his fifteen divine fetuses, along with numerous divinities, all churned as though rising tides!The flesh and blood at the center of his brows were swiftly torn asunder, parting to both sides! The Star Plucking Pupil was unleashed upon it, causing lines to crisscross within the golden pupil, interweaving and slicing like a celestial web spanning the heavens! Subsequently, the golden radiance of the Star Plucking Pupil transmuted into hues of black and white. His left eye became black, and his right eye turned white! Resembling the cycle of day and night, the perfect balance of Yin and Yang! Before him, characters of black and white intertwined. [Dao Fruit: Chess Saint (LV7, 0%)] The Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit! After countless calls... Finally, the Fifth Transformation had arrived! Li Che's heart swelled with immense joy and emotion. At this precise moment, his delight wasn't solely for the transformation of the Chess Saint's Dao Fruit. But rather... That the Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit, now having undergone Five Transformations, might grant him the clarity to perceive... The trials of Equaling Heaven across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths! ***
