As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1567: Devouring Dragon Energy—Three Successive Evolutions of the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor, Old Dragon God Comes East Yet Finds No Dragon Sons or Grandsons (2)...
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
The Dragon Emperor Pearl had bestowed this immense power upon him!
This sacred treasure, a gift from the Old Dragon God himself, represented the final hope for the Dragon God Clan's newest generation to ascend to the Dragon God Realm.
"Bull Demon——!!!"
The Dragon God Crown Prince let out a ferocious roar from his draconic maw, his voice vibrating with such intensity that it caused the air to hum and echo incessantly.
Suddenly, the Crown Prince jerked his head upward. He spotted three dark silhouettes plummeting through the sky above the city and instantly recognized them as his own brothers!
They had arrived... but as captives!
What kind of madness had gripped this Netherworld Bull Demon? How could he be so brazenly arrogant?
Shock and fury warred within the Dragon God Crown Prince. He was well aware that by triggering the Dragon Emperor Pearl, his combat power reached the level of a half-step Dragon God. Furthermore, if his three brothers combined their strengths, their joint technique was potent enough to rival a half-step Dragon God as well!
That meant the enemy faced two combatants with half-step Divine Realm strength!
Yet, the Underworld had dragged them into this confrontation so openly...
Did he not even consider the strategy of defeating them one by one?
To what extent did he despise their strength?
Buzz——
With a violent tremor of his frame, the Dragon God Crown Prince reverted to his human form, his eyes burning with a mixture of disbelief and rage.
"I suggest you remain in your dragon form."
A serene voice resonated throughout the space between heaven and earth.
A sound akin to the cracking of the firmament signaled the appearance of the Bull Demon. His massive, mountain-like silhouette loomed large, and behind him, a colossal Qi Blood Furnace manifested. It glowed with a vast radiance, resembling a Rising Sun that bathed the entire dark city in a veil of shimmering golden silk.
"Bull Demon! You are courting death!"
The Dragon God Crown Prince’s words were laced with freezing malice.
Behind him, the three Dragon Sons appeared, their faces twisted in indignation and confusion. They had been deep in their winter slumber—a season they found unbearable—until they were abruptly disturbed and hurled into this city.
Hadn't Zhao Beidou, that Divine Tribulation Cultivator, claimed he had demolished the Underworld's city?
It appeared that even an expert at the Divine Tribulation level was prone to exaggeration!
Where was the destruction he spoke of?
Boom——!!!
Li Che, concealed behind his Bull Demon Mask, looked down at the four Dragon Sons with cold indifference. Within his chest, the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit pulsed with a rhythmic thrum.
His vision was immediately filled with the sight of thick, swirling demon energy.
As his gaze drifted over them, his brow twitched slightly. He noted that the Dragon God Crown Prince possessed a deep green demon energy, whereas the three Dragon Sons radiated a paler, green-white aura.
So, demon energy possessed varying levels of density?
It seemed a fundamental trait of the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit was the ability to visually gauge the potency of a member of the Demon Race's energy.
The intensity was revealed through color.
This meant no member of the Demon Race could hide from him.
Even if they assumed human form, their underlying demon energy remained visible to Li Che’s eyes.
The golden-haired Hou’s energy was also a pale green-white, matching the three Dragon Sons but falling short of the Dragon God Crown Prince’s superior grade.
The Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit within him began to hunger for the demonic essence of the four Dragon Clan members standing before him.
Boom——!!!
Forgoing further conversation, Li Che’s frame shuddered. His robust, mountain-like muscles and bones vibrated as golden Qi Blood erupted from his back and his divine seeds shattered.
Li Che’s physical form fully awakened. At that moment, his Martial Immortal Golden Body caused him to radiate a brilliant, blinding light!
Two opponents at the half-step Martial God level... a perfect opportunity to evaluate the true power of his Martial Immortal Golden Body!
In Li Che’s perspective, the paths of the Martial Immortal and the Martial God had diverged into two entirely different systems.
While both focused on the refinement of the physical form, a Martial God’s Cultivation was bound to divinity. It required opening the Heavenly Gate and utilizing the divine energy flowing from it to forge the flesh. That was the traditional way of the Martial God.
The Dragon God Crown Prince focused his intent, opened his jaw, and released a thunderous dragon chant!
The resulting sound waves detonated, creating an invisible sonic wall that warped the atmosphere. It was a soul-chilling cry that seemed to banish the wind and rain from the city, leaving nothing but the echoing roar of the dragon.
Violent air currents shattered raindrops and scattered the black mist as they surged forward to collide with the Bull Demon.
Deep within the Crown Prince’s body, the Dragon Emperor Pearl surged with concentrated demon energy, pushing his aura far beyond its normal limits!
He clenched his fist, his immense Qi Blood and physical might causing the void to tremble. Divinity rampaged around him, and a draconic shadow began to weave behind his back.
With a world-shaking cry, the Dragon God Crown Prince lunged forward. His fists were coated in fine dragon scales, appearing as though they were encased in celestial dragon armor!
Boom!
It was a raw, direct clash of fists!
Li Che pushed his Martial Immortal Golden Body to its limits. His eyes glowed with swirling golden vapor, his blood flowed like molten golden mercury, and his golden bones hummed in resonance.
A cataclysmic force exploded forth like a breaking dam!
Bang——!!!
As the two fists collided, the resulting shockwaves tore through the air vertically. Ripples hammered against the fabric of space, causing it to bunch like wrinkled cloth as faint, hairline fractures began to appear.
The air detonated with the sound of a thousand thunders!
The Dragon God Crown Prince’s expression twisted in horror after just a single exchange!
Was this truly a human?
Could any human actually possess such a physical body?
How could he be this powerful?!
He felt a terrifying strength, like a mountain torrent, surging from Li Che’s fist. The half-step Divine Realm power he had gained from the Dragon Emperor Pearl felt brittle and unstable, as if it were on the verge of shattering under the pressure!
Bang——!!!
The air behind them compressed to the breaking point before exploding into a series of expanding ripples.
The Dragon God Crown Prince was driven violently into the earth. His striking hand was a mess of blood, his bones crushed and broken.
