As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1612: Emperor Xi Xi Kills and Runs—So Thrilling! The Children Live Happily in Fengdu
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
Near the borders of the ruins, small stones tumbled across the earth, and as a silhouette advanced steadily, the pebbles beneath instantly cracked apart and crumbled into fine powder.
Donning a Bull Demon Mask, Li Che extended his arms broadly, while the nine primary tendons along his back suddenly tensed up, resembling mighty dragon bones straining against his backbone, on the verge of bursting through his skin and muscle.
A sharp cracking noise rang out as the Pill Furnace burst apart...
Exposing a massive, bizarre form within, shaped like a toad...
To everyone's shock, concealed in this Pill Furnace was actually a Human Head Toad.
"A doppelganger? Looks like his true will has shifted into this Human Head Toad... no surprise it's so feeble."
Beneath the Bull Demon Mask, Li Che's eyes gleamed with an eerie light.
It made sense now why, when this Grandmaster acted, there was no surge of Heaven and Earth Will or any sign of impending calamity.
Li Che had always respected the Yangxuan Grandmaster from the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, and even with his recent progress in cultivation—breakthroughs in both the Martial Immortal Golden Body and Martial Cultivation—he still wouldn't dare take a real Divine Tribulation Cultivator lightly, especially one unharmed like Zhao Beidou.
Facing an opponent this relentless, even the tiniest lapse in caution could turn into a vulnerability the foe exploits and shreds without mercy.
Yet if it's merely a doppelganger incapable of summoning the Power of Tribulation, then there's no cause for alarm.
With a casual snap of his fingers, a dark Confining God Chess piece swelled and warped, morphing into Gu Changqing's likeness.
Li Che directed his gaze toward the Human Head Toad emerging from the broken Pill Furnace.
"This is... the Human Head Toad Furnace belonging to the Yangxuan Grandmaster, and the Human Head Toad Pill within it—a Heavenly Pill crafted from the Divine Power of the Toad Temple God, infused with the Yangxuan Grandmaster's will, acting as his doppelganger in the mortal realm!"
Gu Changqing exclaimed in astonishment, then quickly explained to Li Che.
"The Human Head Toad Furnace resembles the Three Lives Body Technique of the Buddhist Sect, much like the Heavenly Pill Avatar Technique in our own sect, which stems from it..."
"But it's far more advanced than the Heavenly Pill Avatar Technique, since... this Human Head Toad Furnace holds the will of a Divine Tribulation Great Cultivator."
Gu Changqing stated with deep respect.
He remained baffled at how the Lord managed to destroy a Grandmaster's Toad Furnace.
"So... you refer to this repulsive creature as an Elixir?"
Li Che's low voice resounded.
This Human Head Toad possessed considerable strength and odd techniques, but it only reached the pinnacle of top-tier levels, not even touching half-step Divine Tribulation.
Dealing with it posed no challenge for Li Che.
Gu Changqing offered a deferential, flattering grin: "Lord, this Human Head Toad Furnace consists of four parts, known as the Four-direction Human Head Toad Furnace. Its creation is unusual, demanding the essence blood of young children for brewing... yet its effects are outstanding... immensely helpful for Divine Cultivation, as the Temple God Divinity is incorporated inside..."
A flicker of revulsion passed through Li Che's eyes.
Though he had already purged the Divine Tribulation Heavenly Dao Soul from this Human Head Toad Pill.
Li Che had zero intention of ingesting such an elixir...
"Lord, if you're not inclined to take this elixir, might you grant it to me? I could employ it as a base to craft a Poison Pill..."
Gu Changqing cupped his hands and bowed low, showing utmost deference.
He yearned to advance himself and prove his worth to the Lord.
At these words, Li Che arched a brow: "Crafting that Poison Pill... the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill?"
"No..."
Gu Changqing shook his head smilingly, then added with a touch of sheepishness: "As an Alchemy Saint... I possess some knowledge of the Poison Dao as well."
"I intend to create my own Poison Pill..."
Li Che saw no issue with this, sweeping his hand grandly to pass the Human Head Toad Pill straight to Gu Changqing.
"Lord, the Human Head Toad Furnaces split into four directions, each harboring a fragment of the Yangxuan Grandmaster’s Heaven and Earth Soul Will, placed at the four corners of Guangling Dao City to produce Elixir Qi and elixirs via the Human Head Toad Pill..."
"Now that this Human Head Toad Furnace is destroyed, the Yangxuan Grandmaster must sense it by now... the Little Lord could be at risk."
Gu Changqing recalled something and spoke up hastily.
Li Che's gaze sharpened under the Bull Demon Mask at this: "Oh? It doesn't matter."
"If he insists on courting death, let him strike and discover the truth."
Li Che replied coolly, his voice brimming with assurance and ferocity.
Should that Yangxuan Grandmaster dare to strike, Li Che would gladly show him the terror of challenging Divine Tribulation without fear.
Zhao Beidou, the Divine Tribulation Soul Capturer, hadn't even acted yet!
Feeling the intense self-assurance radiating from Li Che, Gu Changqing understood his concerns were pointless; he bowed his head deeply in reverence.
Li Che splayed his fingers wide, drawing the Human Head Toad Pill to hover before him.
In the Inner Scene of the Energy Center.
The Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart pulsed with fierce intensity.
It boomed like thunder, sending Pure Heart Divinity coursing like a serene river.
Flowing over that Human Head Toad Pill.
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish——
A piercing wail suddenly pierced the air!
Gradually, a Heaven and Earth Dao Soul buried deep in the elixir emerged, writhing in panic, as if in dread, before fleeing rapidly toward the sky.
"A gift for you."
Li Che eyed the Heaven and Earth Dao Soul from the Divine Tribulation Great Cultivator that he'd seized, granting it to Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing's face lit up with delight at the sight!
"Thank you, Lord!"
Gu Changqing’s Soul Capturing abruptly lifted its gaze, its eyes blazing a deep scarlet, launching skyward to pursue that Divine Tribulation Heaven and Earth Dao Soul.
Grandmaster... you've been slighted!
