Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Li Che successfully masters the seventh Primordial Dao Tribulation with his Thunder Magnetic Dao Body, bringing him closer to forging his own Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill. He contemplates the difference between martial cultivation and the path of divinity, ultimately reaffirming his commitment to martial arts as his guiding light. Though he feels the pressure from deities, he resolves to grow strong enough to confront them and eventually charge into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Boom——!!!
In merely a fraction of a breath, a potent force seized Li Che’s mind, drawing him into the immense and boundless expanse of the natural world.
This familiar, grand, and turbulent domain stretched across the heavens, dominated by the Dao Tree whose branches spread wide, obscuring the sky and casting all into shadow.
Crackle, crackle, crackle——
A flashing Dao Fruit, composed entirely of lightning, commanded Li Che’s attention. It lacked any multicolored hues, presenting solely the color of thunder.
Indeed, the color of thunder; Li Che struggled to articulate this unique shade, settling on the simple descriptor 'the color of thunder'.
Innumerable bolts of lightning erupted from this Dao Fruit, rending space, obliterating all in their path, suffused with an aura of pure destruction, overwhelmingly potent.
Yet, it also exerted a peculiar influence, seeming to warp all it touched, distorting any beings or substances that drew near.
The scene shifted, dissolving from the vast expanse into a sea of interwoven lightning, a true heavenly thunder tribulation, amassing devastating energy for its ultimate, fatal strike upon the one facing the trial.
Li Che’s focus sharpened. At the heart of this lightning sea, a figure appeared, diminutive like a speck of black against the overwhelming thunders, yet it drew the attention of the entire world. Countless thunders swirled around him, forming a distinctive sphere of influence, akin to the calm center of a vortex, an unassuming genesis point.
This figure was entwined with ceaseless lightning, seemingly connected to every bolt, exuding an aura of annihilation, as if capable of erasing all existence.
Li Che observed the silhouette seated in meditation, lightning coursing from every pore, giving the impression that a single individual was summoning the thunder that encompassed the very heavens and earth.
Boom——
As if acutely perceptive, the figure reacted the instant it detected Li Che’s gaze, erupting with power.
Like a piercingly sharp spear, it thrust forward, traversing space instantaneously.
Li Che felt a tingling sensation engulf him, a thread of true thunder coiling within his heart. With a resounding boom, numbness spread through his body. In the subsequent moment, his entire being dissolved, utterly overwhelmed by the destructive force, rendered as insignificant as a tiny vessel adrift.
Bewildered.
Dizzy!
Pancaked!
On Ancestor Dragon Island, atop the bloodied mountain peak.
Li Che’s eyes fluttered open. Though perhaps only a breath or two had passed, it felt as though he had traversed an immense span of time.
Uncontrollably, torrents of terrifying lightning erupted from his very pores.
"Another Master of a Dao Fruit… Each of these Dao Fruit Masters possesses terrifying might, an incredible strength. A mere glance from them transcends both time and space, unimpeded by their will."
Li Che drew a deep breath, concluding that each Master of a Dao Fruit must wield power on par with Immortal Gods.
Dao Fruit Eight Transformations...
Now Li Che comprehended that for the Dao Fruit to undergo its corresponding transformation, one must connect with a sufficiently elevated level of power. This implied that one’s cultivation and overall strength must advance in tandem with the Dao Fruit’s metamorphosis.
Without this synchronization, the Dao Fruit would falter in its transformation.
Rumble——
Every cell within him seemed to crackle with arcs of thunder.
His Lei-Ci Dao Body, a Dao Fruit physique, was evolving into something even more formidable; he felt as though he had truly mastered the thunder.
His Martial Immortal Golden Body and his Lei-Ci Dao Body experienced no conflict, achieving a seamless integration.
This synergy brought about a novel kind of transformation.
The Martial Immortal Golden Body originated from the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, while the Lei-Ci Dao Body stemmed from another Dao Fruit...
These two Dao Fruits synergistically shaped his unique physical form.
Li Che’s gaze subtly brightened. Lifting his head, he perceived the night receding, vast dark clouds dispersing above Golden Light Prefecture, yielding to the first golden shafts of dawn.

Crackle, crackle, crackle——
Seemingly dark-golden thunder, following serpentine paths, shot forth with a sharp sound, surging and undulating around him, incessantly fracturing the surrounding air.
A terrifying presence, imbued with an intensely pure aura of destruction, descended with overwhelming force, intent on annihilating all, on shattering every living being!
Shattering Star Thunder!
Thunder capable of destroying and shattering stars!
The Seventh Tribulation!
Li Che’s eyes seemed bathed in a dark golden light. Clenching his fist, the formidable power of the Shattering Star Thunder surged within his palm, creating the sensation that all things were on the verge of exploding.
Li Che even experienced a fleeting, inexplicable illusion: the conviction that he could annihilate everything!
[Dao Tribulation (Primordial Shattering Star Thunder): Dao induces tribulation, primordial heaven and earth, origin thunder tribulation, thunder shatters darkness]
Shatter the darkness with thunder!
Origin Thunder Tribulation!
Metal, wood, water, fire, wind, space, and thunder!
Primordial Seventh Tribulation!
Li Che’s heart thumped violently, his black Mo Shan robe fluttering in the mountain wind.
He forcefully suppressed the urge to enter the Dao Tribulation Space directly to face the Seventh Tribulation.
His gaze swept across the surroundings, and he could sense hidden strong observers, still reeling from the events, within a radius of hundreds of zhang around Ancestor Dragon Island.
Even from the Strange Que, the location of the Third Crown Prince’s Mysterious Temple, a terrifying gaze emanated—a powerful and dreadful will, almost piercing the boundaries of the Strange Que and the mortal realm to descend upon him.
These gazes were fixed intently on Li Che.
As he had intended, Li Che had taken his daughter’s place, becoming the center of everyone’s attention.
