As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1928 - 495: Witnessing Emperor Xi Xi’s Growth Over the Years—Today She Fights Bloody Battles in Golden Light Prefecture [Seeking Monthly Ticket]...

The experts at the Divine Tribulation level and Martial Gods from various powers—the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, South Sea Bamboo Forest, Wushen Mountain, Da Li Royal Court, and numerous Noble Families—unleashed their formidable senses. They seemed to be observing this unfolding event with extreme scrutiny. This confrontation held the potential to reveal the hidden strengths of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect and confirm the presence of Lv Taibai and Lv Qiankun. More crucially, however, everyone was eager to discern the extent of the Underworld's backing for Li Nuanxi. The Underworld's name alone thundered through the land; the events in Qi Tian City had reached the ears of nearly every major power. It was common knowledge that the Earthly Ghost Emperor of the Underworld had achieved the status of the sole Martial Immortal of this era, steadfastly guarding the Qitian Inner City Gate and holding off the three Supremes of the All Gods Camp. The close ties between Li Nuanxi and the Underworld were also widely understood. Therefore, the most pressing curiosity for all parties was the nature of the assistance the Underworld had provided to Li Nuanxi.

Atop Golden Light Peak, Li Che remained seated calmly in his Taishi Chair. Accompanying him were the Young Master of the Golden Light Sub-sect, Liu Yangyuan, and Elders Zhu Hong Dou and Weng Wuyu. Supervisor Hu Yingyue of the Qintian Observatory was also present, cheerfully playing the erhu on his lap. At this precise moment, as the Dragon God of the Four Seas Dragon Clan unleashed his formidable aura, the entire Golden Light Prefecture City began to shudder.

Zhu Hong Dou and the others' expressions immediately tensed, growing exceedingly grave. "It's a Divine Tribulation aura..."

Liu Yangyuan's countenance turned unsightly. He cast a look of awe and reverence toward Li Che. "Elder Li... in these recent days, every major faction within Golden Light Prefecture City has stationed a Divine Tribulation Expert. Such existences were once beyond the imagination of Golden Light Prefecture..."

"Consequently, the pressure on the sub-sect has been immense during this period."

"Little Junior Sister... the Sect Master... coming here this time and directly confronting all the major factions—won't that be too impetuous? Won't she become the target of everyone?"

Li Che offered a gentle nod. "She will become everyone's target... but it hardly matters."

Li Che took a sip of his hot tea. The familiar taste, after such a long absence, evoked a sense of deep nostalgia. "Xi Xi has only recently assumed the role of Sect Master; as the saying goes, a new official makes three significant pronouncements. She, too, wishes to make a statement..."

"And currently, the circumstances in Golden Light Prefecture City are perfectly suited for her to indulge her ambitions."

Li Che’s voice was remarkably mild, yet it caused Liu Yangyuan to pause slightly in astonishment. "Elder Li... those are Divine Tribulation Experts..."

Liu Yangyuan felt compelled to remind him.

Li Che glanced at him and nodded reassuringly. "Fear not. The young lady has matured... she possesses a multitude of trump cards."

"Simply observe carefully, Xi Xi's progression over these past years."

"She is no longer the naive little girl from her first encounter with Temple God Resonance..."

"She is on the verge of commencing an action that will shake this world to its very foundations..."

For Li Che, few things within Golden Light Prefecture truly posed a threat to Xi Xi. In fact, even if Xi Xi refrained from deploying the Ten Ferocities Chess Pieces, her upgraded Immortal Artisan Extreme-Pressure Triple Cannon alone would suffice to handle these threats. Primarily because the Divine Tribulation experts who dared to make a move within Golden Light Prefecture were largely situated within the One Disaster One Tribulation Realm. Even those in the One Calamity and Two Tribulations Realm would exercise restraint in their actions, lest they attract the attention of the Heaven and Earth Will. Thus, for Xi Xi, Golden Light Prefecture represented a domain where she could act with impunity and fully embody the majesty of a Sect Master.

Xi Xi might not fully grasp this situation, but her trust in her father was absolute. The powerful trump cards her father had bestowed upon her formed the bedrock of Xi Xi’s confidence! Her objective was to suppress, seize control, and utterly dominate all the major factions that had been pressuring the Qian Yuan Divine Sect's Golden Light Branch... Xi Xi intended to make them bleed today! Today, Golden Light Prefecture would be drenched in blood!

As Li Che concluded his statement, Liu Yangyuan promptly fell silent. He held Li Che in profound awe. While his feelings toward Xi Xi might still be complex, his reverence for Xi Xi’s father, Li Che, this Divine Sculpture Master, was boundless. This was because Li Che was truly an unfathomably powerful being who had emerged from a completely ordinary wood carving shop!

With a flick of Li Che's finger, the Heaven and Earth chessboard materialized before them, displaying the unfolding scene of Xi Xi confronting the Second Prince...

The scene of the East Sea Dragon God taking action against Xi Xi was also displayed.

Liu Yangyuan, Zhu Hong Dou, and the others couldn't help but take a sharp intake of breath.

Witnessing a Dragon God, whose might was comparable to Divine Tribulation, make a move, the pressure of Divine Tribulation seemed to permeate the image itself, chilling them to the bone.

The situation depicted in the image instantly left them utterly astonished.

"Ah, this..."

"That's Xi Xi?!!"

...

...

Rumble——!!!

Divinity intertwined, Dragon Power surged, coalescing into a three-zhang dragon claw. Subtle cracks, incredibly fierce, faintly appeared in the very fabric of space around the Dragon Claw.

These cracks crisscrossed, forming an intricate and terrifying pattern!

Bang bang bang——

As it descended, the air currents roared violently, howling and exploding!

Billowing gang wind and turbulent air currents lifted immense clouds of dust along the long street. The blue bricks underfoot simply could not withstand such power, beginning to shatter and explode, turning into mere dust!

Feng Zhiqi felt a searing heat on his forehead, his entire body's blood turning cold, as if a razor-sharp arrow were poised to pierce his brow, pushing him to the brink of death!

Feng Zhiqi roared, his eyes seemingly fracturing under the strain!

In the heavens, dark clouds roiled. As a Divine Tribulation expert acted within the Human World, the Will of Heaven and Earth already sensed it, and a brewing pressure began to manifest!

However, it was merely a brewing pressure. A Great Cultivator of Divine Tribulation in the One Disaster One Tribulation Realm could still make minor movements in the Human World!

Feng Zhiqi's eyes felt as if they would split. He had never anticipated the situation in Golden Light Prefecture to be this dire.

They had only just arrived in Golden Light Prefecture, and already a Divine Tribulation Great Cultivator was personally intervening, intending to suppress and kill Xi Xi!

"Aaah——!!!"

Feng Zhiqi's bones rumbled throughout his body, and thirty-six thousand pores simultaneously exuded a mist of blood. At this moment, he actually broke free from the Divine Tribulation pressure. His five fingers clenched, his eyes blazing with intense brilliance!

"Sect Master, be careful!"

In this critical instant, Feng Zhiqi's will shone brighter than ever before!

The long blade at his waist trembled with each passing moment. In a flash, his five fingers tightened around the hilt; he drew the blade and slashed forward. A terrifying Absolute Peak aura surged skyward, as if a Heavenly Gate were about to be stirred into action!

At this moment, under the immense pressure, he had actually shattered his own shackles!

He took an incomparably crucial step forward.

Although Feng Zhiqi knew that this step was insignificant compared to a Divine Tribulation Great Cultivator,

the sheer audacity of shattering Divine Tribulation pressure and swinging his blade at a Divine Tribulation Expert was, in itself, a significant Transformation!

Xi Xi's eyes lit up. Seeing Feng Zhiqi like a mighty warrior straining with all his might to hold back a collapsing mountain, a warm current couldn't help but surge through her heart!

The Forehead Prison Lotus Divine Pattern between Xi Xi's brows trembled; potent Heavenly Person Sensing erupted instantly, spreading outwards and crazily pouring into the pink Triple Mechanical Gun Platform she held.

It was as if the ten thousand Mechanical Nine Divine Seals on the cannon platform had all seemingly revived at this very moment!

One after another, extremely compressed Thunderballs shot forth from the six rapidly rotating barrels!

Accompanied by Feng Zhiqi's roar and long howl, after breaking the shackles of the pressure, the dazzling blade light he unleashed towards the Dragon Claw, like a blazing sun, erupted forth!

This was the most resplendent slash Feng Zhiqi had ever executed in his life!

An almost godlike slash!

Feng Zhiqi experienced a wild sensation of breaking free from restraints, a long-lost, unrestrained exhilaration, truly without regret.

Even if, after this slash, he were to be instantly annihilated by a claw from the Dragon God...

he would still find contentment!

Because this was the most powerful slash he had ever swung, a slash delivered to protect his Sect Master!

Rumble——!!!

Endless sharpness churned and tore apart the currents of air!

Everyone present only felt the blade light before their eyes grow incomparably dazzling, as if countless Thunder Arcs were rampaging and interweaving within it!

Then——

came a Dragon's Chant filled with shock and fury!

Everyone only perceived the endless, brilliant blade light cleaving outwards.

Following that.

The Dragon God, positioned beside the Second Prince, suddenly morphed into a colossal Dragon Shadow that enshrouded the sky, attempting to ascend into the heavens—but midway through its ascent,

countless clouds of blood exploded from the enormous dragon body, accompanied by a miserable shriek.

With a resounding boom, it detonated in midair!

Feng Zhiqi maintained his blade-swinging posture, his dark, resilient hair flying wildly.

He stared blankly at the dragon's dramatic rise and fall...

His blade...

was it truly this powerful?!
