As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1546: Borrowing 2 Luck Golden Lotuses From the Great Vista, Invincible Below the God Realm
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
Threads of shimmering gold light weave together within the lotus.
"The Luck Golden Lotus..."
"Xie Yushen spent so long cultivating the fortune of Dajing, and now it has finally bloomed into a singular flower. It appears... a terrible crisis was met over at Qianyuan Taoist City..."
"Are even two Divine Tribulations insufficient to ensure his safety?"
"Could the opposition have sent three Divine Tribulations to carry out the execution?"
A soft, murmuring voice drifted from the rift.
Then, the tear in space sealed shut.
However, a moment later, the void was ripped open again from a different perspective.
"Pathetic."
After a sharp curse, the opening vanished once more....
...
"What exactly is this?"
Li Che could not help but reveal a look of deep curiosity.
In truth, a suspicion had already formed in Li Che’s mind, as his current realm allowed him to vaguely sense the fundamental powers of Heaven and Earth.
"The power of fortune?"
Li Che’s brow twitched upward slightly.
"Indeed... this is the power of fortune!"
Xie Yushen was now entirely gold-plated, appearing as if he were a statue cast in solid gold, yet he emitted an aura that seemed to harmonize perfectly with the heavens.
In this instant, a mere mortal seemed to have ascended directly into a divine state!
He stood positioned within the golden lotus. Behind him, a golden disc began to condense; though it was faint and riddled with imperfections, its presence was undeniable.
"I have borrowed two fractions of Dajing’s imperial fortune..."
Xie Yushen looked toward the Underworld Yama, a subtle smile touching his brilliant golden eyes.
"Let us end this quickly... I hope not too much fortune is squandered, otherwise, His Majesty will surely reprimand me as his minister."
Xie Yushen let out a sigh.
"You borrowed two fractions of Dajing’s imperial fortune? You can actually use national fortune to bolster your own strength?"
Li Che spoke, his voice sounding deep and gravelly, betraying his immense shock.
"You are capable of nurturing fortune?"
Li Che questioned him further, his tone becoming increasingly intense.
Xie Yushen narrowed his eyes at him.
"Have you not already witnessed it?"
"The Luck Golden Lotus I spent so long nurturing was forced out by your hand..."
"I have cultivated three Luck Golden Lotuses for Dajing, with each representing two fractions of fortune. Three make six, while the remaining four reside... in His Majesty’s palm."
"His Majesty commanded me to nurture these six fractions of Dajing’s fortune to make them grow. Among the eleven Divine Sects, each holds a fraction of fortune, yet these fortunes rightfully belong to Dajing! With the exception of the True Martial Divine Sect, all must be wiped out!"
Xie Yushen’s eyes erupted with a blindingly brilliant golden light.
"The Qian Yuan Divine Sect... is merely the start. The bird that sticks its head out is always the first to be struck. The farce at the Flat Peach Victory Meeting was conducted to achieve Temple God Resonance, but it was also a pretext to launch an assault on the Divine Sects..."
"Even if the Qian Yuan Divine Sect hadn't stood up, others would have... the Heavenly Master Purple Mansion Sect, the South Sea Bamboo Forest, or the Green Cloud Mysterious Talisman—any of them could have been the target."
"It just so happens that you, Qian Yuan, were the ones to stumble into it."
Xie Yushen spoke with cold composure.
"However, despite all my careful planning, I never anticipated... that the Qian Yuan Divine Sect would receive such unexpected help from the Underworld."
"The Underworld, ah, the Underworld..."
Xie Yushen’s aura began to climb, level by level.
Boom—!!!
In the next breath, a pillar of golden light suddenly plummeted from the heavens. A golden column, as massive as an elephant’s leg, stabbed down through the night sky.
It was as if the heavens and earth were being sliced in two.
The light slammed into the ruins, which were currently choked with billowing smoke and debris.
High in the sky above, Gu Qianchi and the God Hunter Killer were locked in a standoff when their eyes suddenly filled with shock.
"Is that... the Luck Golden Lotus?!"
"What a man, Xie Yushen! He actually went so far as to unlock the power of fortune! He borrowed the fortune of Dajing!"
Gu Qianchi’s eyes sparkled, recognizing the aura that felt like the manifestation of the Heaven and Earth Will.
Meanwhile, the God Hunter Killer could not hide the look of pure amazement in his eyes.
Their focus sharpened instantly.
The situation had shifted...
"Luck Golden Lotus!"
This Xie Yushen is truly a difficult opponent to handle.
Behind the Star Vortex Mask, Fang Hanshu let out a quiet sigh.
It appeared...
This assassination plot was destined to end in failure.
What a waste of the Underworld's brilliant schemes and meticulous planning!
The Luck Golden Lotus...
Based on the sheer power of that golden pillar, Xie Yushen has likely tapped into two fractions of Dajing’s fortune, probably pushing him to the level of the Half-step Divine Realm.
Crucially...
Blessed by fortune, Xie Yushen has obtained the favor of the Heaven and Earth Will Power. This is equivalent to being draped in Heavenly Might, making him virtually invincible among those in the Half-step Divine Realm!
He could even endure a strike or two from a Divine Tribulation expert.
Although the Underworld Yama had managed to cut down Ji Moli’s avatar in the previous fight, however...
That feat was only possible because of a three-way alliance.
Ji Moli was still a long way from being truly invincible in the Half-step Divine Realm!
Because of this, Fang Hanshu mourned the fact that in this clash... the Underworld Yama might fail to slay Xie Yushen.
Furthermore, the Underworld had used Fengdu to drag a Divine Tribulation like Zhao Beidou into that mysterious city.
That city functions like a Small Cave Heaven, and it is unknown how long it can hold someone like Zhao Beidou.
Unless a Divine Tribulation level guardian stays within that city, then...
In less than a hundred breaths, Zhao Beidou will likely shatter his way out of a Small Cave Heaven that lacks a Divine Tribulation protector!
It really is a failure...
Fang Hanshu sighed behind his Star Vortex Mask.
Yet, he wasn't truly shocked.
Assassination attempts failing is simply a part of the trade.
Xie Yushen actually managed to pull the Dajing Destiny onto himself, and the Emperor was surprisingly bold, actually willing to grant such destiny to a mere minister...
Then again, it proves the Emperor’s absolute confidence; if he can grant destiny to Xie Yushen, he can just as easily take it back...
And the Emperor allowed Xie Yushen to use this destiny to topple mountains and crush sects...
"Is he attempting to consolidate destiny before the celestial shift of the Strange Que, so he can ascend as the sovereign of humanity?"
Fang Hanshu’s eyes glinted with a dark light.
"But... as if it were that simple!"
"The world consists of more than just the Eleven Divine Sects and the Great Vista... there is also the Da Li Royal Court, Wushen Mountain, the Western Regions Buddha Land, the Four Seas Dragon Clan, and the Country of Ten Thousand Demons!"
Fang Hanshu breathed out, pushing these thoughts aside.
Even though he foresaw the failure of the mission.
He still did his duty, blocking Gu Qianchi’s path.
The Underworld is at least fighting for the survival of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect...
How could he simply walk away?
However, Gu Qianchi was no longer in a rush to attack. Instead, he began to actively stall the Star Vortex Hunting God Killer.
He would not permit him to go and assist the Underworld Yama.
...
...
"Do you recognize what is forming behind me?"
"Once its form is solidified, I will have effectively entered the Divine Tribulation Realm!"
"This is the 'Disaster Wheel.' A Divine Tribulation Cultivator who survives their disasters can manifest this wheel behind them. When the wheel appears, it signifies that a Divine Tribulation Cultivator is striking with their full power."
Xie Yushen introduced the concept to the Underworld Yama with a glowing pride, as if he were a teacher giving a lesson.
This was his first time tasting such terrifying strength.
He was hesitant to end the experience too quickly; unfortunately, he couldn't afford to waste time.
Boom——
His gaze dropped.
Xie Yushen took a step forward, the Luck Golden Lotus spinning beneath his feet.
He appeared instantly in front of the Underworld Yama.
A golden lotus struck down from his palm, completely surrounding the Underworld Yama in a crushing weight of heavenly might...
"With destiny supporting me, I am invincible against anyone below the God Realm!"
"Even if this invincibility only lasts for half a stick of incense, I am still peerless! Hahahaha!"
Xie Yushen let out a boisterous laugh.
Under the pressure of heavenly might, who could possibly oppose him?
However.
In the following instant——
Xie Yushen’s laughter was cut short.
This was because he realized that a chessboard had suddenly manifested beneath the feet of the Underworld Yama.
The chessboard expanded within the golden lotus, shockingly ripping a hole through the domain of heavenly might that the Luck Golden Lotus had created!
Xie Yushen found himself trapped within the domain of the chessboard.
Then...
An incredibly terrifying pressure of heaven and earth.
Slammed violently into him.
Xie Yushen’s legs buckled, and with a heavy thud...
He was forced to his knees!
He snapped his head up, horrified to find that his "invincible" aura was failing.
It was plummeting rapidly, down and down...
Until it finally stabilized at the level of a mere ordinary Absolute Peak.
What?!
Xie Yushen stared upward.
And then...
He watched as the Underworld Yama tightened his fingers into a crushing fist.
Behind the Yama, eight stars shone with a blinding, extreme brilliance!
"Eight... eight stars?"
Xie Yushen was frozen in disbelief.
"Invincible below the God Realm?"
"That would be me."
Boom——!!!
The fist connected!
Xie Yushen’s entire body of radiant golden light shattered instantly.
Even with destiny upon him...
He was blown apart in a violent explosion!
