As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1572: Dao Fruit’s Fourfold Transformation, Demon Immortal Nine Turns; Little Niu Demon Xi Xi Walks on Thin Ice
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
The [Ten Thousand Demon Emperor] Dao Fruit manifested before Li Che’s eyes.
A single look was enough to rattle his very soul. It was as if he witnessed prismatic demon energy surging toward the heavens, followed by the sight of a Great Demon unfurling its wings until they eclipsed both the sky and the sun.
Buzz——
In an instant, Li Che’s consciousness snapped back.
Every fiber of his being began to tremble. Demon energy seemed to seep from his very pores, saturating his physical form and inducing a series of incredibly refined alterations.
[Dao Fruit lv3: A new transformation has occurred. Acquired the prototype divine power "Ten Thousand Demon Emperor—Demon Suppression"]
[Dao Fruit lv4: Second transformation achieved. Prototype divine power (Demon Suppression) evolved; acquired shedding divine power (Demon Immortal) and the First Layer of the Divine Skill (Demon Immortal Transformation)]
[Dao Fruit lv5: Third transformation reached. First Layer of the Divine Skill (Demon Immortal Transformation) has advanced into the Second Layer (Demon Immortal Nine Revolutions)]
Buzz buzz buzz——
His heart racing, Li Che’s eyes snapped open. Before him, a sea of golden light rippled and surged like waves, weaving together in a brilliant display.
His breath turned ragged and sharp.
Never before had a Dao Fruit undergone three consecutive transformations. The sheer force of the impact left him reeling with shock!
This was a first for Li Che...
When the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit was initially formed, Li Che had only mastered its surface-level traits, such as the ability to perceive demon energy. Back then, he could merely see demon energy manifesting in various hues, categorized by rank and intensity.
However, this latest evolution of the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit had birthed the prototypes of divine powers and the first two layers of a Divine Skill!
Standing within the confines of Mo City, Li Che’s spirit quivered as he began to probe the depths of these newly acquired abilities.
The prototype divine power, Ten Thousand Demon Emperor—Demon Suppression, functioned exactly as its name implied. It was a method of exerting absolute dominance, utilizing a noble bloodline to naturally suppress the demon race.
This suppression was strikingly similar to the Heavenly Might he wielded within the Victory Over Heaven Dao Domain.
It suggested that when facing demons, Li Che could stack the effects of Demon Suppression with the Heavenly Might of his Dao Domain, dealing a devastating double blow to his enemies' resolve.
Buzz buzz buzz...
A shimmering radiance slowly materialized in his vision.
[Demon Immortal (Divine Skill): Born from ancient origins, undying and eternal, they are known as Demon Immortals, capable of distinguishing between virtue and malice.]
[First Layer: Demon Immortal Transformation]
[Second Layer: Demon Immortal Nine Revolutions]
...
The profound mantras of the divine power laid themselves bare before him.
Ancient demons are born immortal; thus they become Demon Immortals!
Li Che inhaled deeply, his expression reflecting a mixture of astonishment and skepticism.
"Undying and immortal?"
"What arrogance! Who truly dares to claim immortality? Can one really achieve such a state simply by becoming a Demon Immortal?"
Li Che’s eyes flickered with uncertainty.
He was familiar with the grandiose claims of the Dao Fruit’s descriptions, yet he suspected that such a height could only be reached once the Dao Fruit achieved a state of perfect completion. For now, he likely needed much more Cultivation and practice.
Still, to reach the summit, one must first possess the ambition to climb!
"Demon Immortal Transformation..."
Li Che activated the Dao Fruit. Immediately, thick plumes of demon energy erupted from his skin.
The air shook with the thunderous roar of a dragon.
The demon energy he had previously drained from the Dragon God Crown Prince surged out from his pores. Suddenly, Li Che vaulted into the sky, tearing through the downpour of Mo Rain. His frame expanded and elongated until he had transformed into a majestic divine dragon, every scale shimmering with a piercing light!
"As long as I possess siphoned demon energy, the Demon Immortal Transformation allows me to take the form of that demon..."
With a single thought, his form shifted again.
The divine dragon vanished, replaced by a radiant Golden Lion King. With a flowing mane, he let out a roar that shook the heavens!
The Golden Lion King streaked through the air like a bolt of gold. In terms of raw power, this form far outclassed the Golden-haired Hou.
As the golden radiance dimmed and the demon energy dissipated, Li Che reverted to his human shape. His dark robes snapped in the wind as he drifted back to the ground.
"The Second Layer: Demon Immortal Nine Revolutions... it allows me to channel the strength of nine demon immortals simultaneously, fusing them into my own body."
Standing in the heart of Mo City, Li Che formed a series of hand seals.
"First Turn of the Demon Immortal!"
In an instant...
A massive torrent of demon energy gathered and surged through him. Li Che felt his strength skyrocket. Even without invoking the Explosive Divine Seed, his power now far exceeded the natural limits of his physical form!
This was the borrowed strength of the Demon Immortals.
The demon energy twisted into the phantom of the Dragon God Crown Prince, coiling protectively around him.
"Second Turn of the Demon Immortal!"
The seals in his hands shifted once more!
The demon energy flared violently as the essence of the Golden Lion King merged with that of the Dragon God Crown Prince.
The phantoms began to overlap, undergoing a bizarre synthesis. It was as if a brand-new demonic species was being forged—a creature with the head and body of a lion, but possessing the skeletal structure, tail, claws, and scales of a dragon!
A Dragon-Lion!
The resulting demon energy was immense, far surpassing a simple combination of the two powers. It was an exponential leap.
Gradually, the energy faded behind him.
Li Che’s bones popped and adjusted with a satisfying rhythm. He felt invigorated, his eyes glowing with newfound intensity.
Feeling satisfied, Li Che reached out and claimed the Qiankun Jades from the Dragon God Crown Prince and the three Dragon Sons. He swept his spirit through the contents. While the haul was decent, he no longer felt the wild rush of "new money" as he once did. Instead, he simply enjoyed the quiet satisfaction of the harvest.
His only regret was that the clash with the Dragon God Crown Prince had done almost nothing to advance the maturity of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit.
It was understandable, though. Throughout the entire fight, Li Che had maintained absolute dominance. The physical advantages provided by his Martial Immortal Golden Body were simply too overwhelming for the prince to challenge.
