Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Li Che faces the terrifying Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder, enduring the onslaught with his physical body. Despite severe injuries, his Martial Immortal Golden Body and various Dao Fruits absorb the tribulation, showing immense resilience. Others witness the destructive power of the thunder and are stunned by Li Che's ability to withstand it.
Boom!
A deafening thunderclap reverberated as torrents of lightning cascaded from the Qiankun Ring, akin to countless divine lights erupting from Li Che’s physical form. At this juncture, every pore on his body seemed to burst forth with brilliance, intricately weaving a radiant spectacle reminiscent of a colossal sun ascending the horizon, bathing the world in its illumination!
His entire being crackled with the sound of bones shifting, and an unparalleled sensation of fulfillment washed over Li Che. The reason? Within this Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder, he sensed the purest Qi of Heaven and Earth!
While predominantly composed of thunderbolts, these very bolts were, in fact, formed from the essence of Heaven and Earth Qi!
The divine essence had been stripped away by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder, leaving behind only the pure power of the thunderbolt!
Ascending to the heavens, Li Che immersed himself in the sea of thunder. Clenching his fists, he commenced performing martial arts in rhythm with the potent pulse of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit.
Every punch, every movement, every technique was executed with unwavering precision at this critical moment.
Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant Furnace!
Qilin Suppression Seal!
Thousand Mountains Solo Sky-cutting Blade!
Crying Blood Immortal Phoenix Withering Glory Arrow!
The resolve of Six Desires Void, and furthermore...
Heavenly Stepping!
Bam——!!!
Golden Blood Qi surged forth, bombarded by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder. Bathed in its power, his body transformed, manifesting Mystic Thunder Armor that enveloped him completely.
Technique after technique was practiced in ceaseless succession.
This relentless practice spurred constant evolution in his martial path, his comprehension of martial arts, and his mastery proficiency. He rapidly advanced, firmly establishing himself in the Minor Accomplishment realm and stride towards the Great Accomplishment Martial Arts!
It was as if the intense impact of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder stimulated his entire physical form, electrifying his cerebral cortex and ushering his spirit into a state of instantaneous enlightenment.
In the heavens above, the dark clouds dissipated, revealing a celestial expanse dotted with resplendent starlight, as though it had been freshly cleansed by a clear blue sky!
Li Che experienced an exhilaration unlike anything before!
The Thunder Magnetism Dao Fruit furiously absorbed the thunder's might, while the surrounding essence of thunderbolts was aggressively drawn in by the millions of pores, diligently tempering his bones and refining his physique.
The resonant clang echoed incessantly, a testament to his transforming physique. Each stroke of the Mystic Thunder acted as a Heavenly God’s hammer, forging his body with branding irons.
Li Che harbored no fear of thunderbolts, perhaps owing to his mastery of the [Lei-Ci Dao Body] Dao Fruit, which instilled within him an inexplicable confidence when facing such elemental fury.
Consequently, he confronted the tribulation lightning head-on, employing it as a tool for body refinement, honing his physique, siphoning its essence, and fortifying himself!
Boom boom boom boom——!!!
Boundless thunderfalls descended, divine aura permeating the thunderous onslaught, exerting an oppressive force that seemed to freeze one’s muscles and bones.
Li Che’s Martial Immortal Golden Body resonated, yet even as it was rent asunder, he remained unfazed.
The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit pulsed with vitality, its formidable healing power meticulously reconnecting his shattered bones and condensing his ruptured membranes!
A golden mist of blood spread high into the sky. His muscles and bones fractured, his meridians severed piece by piece, yet under the potent influence of the Dao Fruit, they rejoined and healed as if brand new!
Li Che remained silent, emitting no sound of pain.
He stoically endured the ordeal inflicted by the forces of Heaven and Earth, absorbing the baptism of thunderbolt power.
Only the weak lament; the strong endure in silence, transforming and strengthening amidst quiet perseverance, so that they may become great fathers capable of protecting their daughters’ safe growth. Enduring some pain is only right.
Boom boom boom boom boom——!
Wave after wave of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder struck down. Li Che quietly kept count; a total of ninety-nine strands of mysterious thunder descended!
Amidst the constant shattering of his body, Li Che gradually perceived a creeping weakness.
However, at the very moment this sense of weakness began to manifest.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder finally started to recede, signaling the subsiding of divine wrath and the dispersion of the Thunder Pool.
Across the expanse between Heaven and Earth, an audible tide seemed to ebb, slowly diminishing like a retreating ocean current.
The oppressive aura vanished without a trace, allowing the many cultivators within Golden Light Prefecture City to regain control of their bodies. They collapsed onto the ground, drawing in ragged breaths.
Though it wasn't their personal tribulation, the terrifying impact they had experienced left their spirits trembling, and they lay on the ground, quivering.
"It's over..."
On the banks of the Nine Dragons River.
One by one, the formidable individuals who had been driven from Golden Light Prefecture City swallowed hard, their voices laced with tremor as they spoke.
Many cultivators, even those who had reached the peak of the human world through Divine Tribulation, now seemed as fragile as mayflies before the boundless heavens. They were simply too powerful.
Li Che, a Martial Immortal of this era from the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, single-handedly defied the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder! This astonished the world, a performance unparalleled in the mortal realm!
Inside the lavishly decorated imperial carriage, an equally profound silence reigned, so quiet one could hear a pin drop.
Third Prince Lv Litong remained speechless, his shock so profound that terror had no room to surface, leaving only utter bewilderment. Had he truly provoked such a monstrous being? He recalled when this father and daughter first arrived at the Divine Capital, they were quite weak, and he hadn't given them a second thought. But now... In just two years, they had become this terrifying?
Su Dasu lifted her pale hand to draw back the curtain. Gazing at the figure atop Ancestor Dragon Island's Stone Mountain, hundreds of miles away, where countless bolts of thunder still raged, she exhaled slowly. The Four Seas Dragon Clan's sacrifice of Ten Thousand Dragons had stimulated the Mystic Thunder Vajra Qiankun Ring, triggering the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder in an attempt to annihilate the Daughter of Prison Lotus. But now... Those bolts hadn't even grazed a single hair of the Daughter of Prison Lotus before being blocked. How could anyone in the human world possibly withstand the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder!
Su Da murmured, "Li Che..." The white fox behind Su Da shimmered, its captivating eyes flickering with an intense sense of apprehension.
