As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1618: Becoming the Pillar of the Family in Father’s Place, Burning Away Five Regions of the Corrupted World—King Yan Is Actually the Ghost Emperor...
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
One Calamity, Two Calamities, or Three Calamities?
Li Che could at least confirm that the Great Supervising Minister surpassed powerhouses like Zhao Beidou and Gu Qianchi by a wide margin.
Not even the Old Dragon God stood a chance against him.
"A supreme expert beyond even the Underworld Yama..."
Li Che let out a light chuckle.
"Such a figure does exist."
Li Che offered Fang Hanshu a firm reply.
Whatever he wished for, it would come to pass.
Even though he hadn't yet identified who outranked Yama at present.
Yet this didn't prevent Li Che from confidently assuring Fang Hanshu."So, the Qian Yuan Divine Sect's security... is now guaranteed."
Fang Hanshu's gaze lit up with joy as he grinned.
He lingered only briefly in the courtyard before cupping his hands in respect and smoothly taking his leave.
As Fang Hanshu departed, a profound light flickered in Li Che's eyes, since he possessed some knowledge of the Great Elder's hidden past.
"The God Hunter Killers from the Hunting God Pavilion..."
The Great Elder... truly concealed his depths well.
Maybe, even absent the Underworld's aid, the Qian Yuan Divine Sect might have endured this ordeal thanks to this secretive Great Elder alone.
However, the price paid would have been immensely steeper than it was now.
He made his way back to the study.
Li Che pressed a finger to his forehead, causing the Heaven and Earth chessboard to rise high into the air.
With a casual snap of his fingers.
All of a sudden.
Gu Changqing's soul form gradually materialized.
"Hail, my Lord!"
Beyond that, two Confining God Children stood beside Gu Changqing, their cheeks flushed, cute and well-behaved in their apprentice garments, trailing after him as they bowed with a mix of reverence and slight awkwardness.
"Hail, my Lord!"
The pair of apprentices chimed together.
Li Che beamed widely, waving his finger to release a few ready-made treats from the Qiankun Space, letting the two Alchemy Children munch on them with delight.
His attention then turned to Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing's gaze ignited with fervor as he lifted his robe and produced a blue-green jade bottle.
"My Lord, I have succeeded without fail!"
"Behold, the Evading Tribulation Wind Pill, refined successfully from a single set of materials to produce three pills."
This was the pill Lv Taibai had asked Li Che to commission from the Underworld's Alchemy Master.
At last, the task was fulfilled.
"Excellent."
Li Che grinned while passing the elixir to the Painting Immortal Avatar, directing it to rush the delivery to Lv Taibai right away.
Lv Taibai aimed to advance to the Divine Tribulation Realm amid the Qian Yuan Divine Sect's peril, holding back a surging force of power that could perfectly fuel his breakthrough.
Should this chance slip away, facing another Divine Tribulation later would carry a far greater risk of defeat.
Moreover, the Evading Tribulation Wind Pill boosted his odds of success by multiple points.
Naturally, should Lv Taibai's breakthrough falter, that was acceptable as well...
You could always reunite as brothers in the Underworld.
"Here are the ingredients required for the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill; proceed swiftly with the Poison Pill. How soon until completion?"
Li Che asked.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changqing's eyes burst into vivid brilliance.
At long last, he was free to craft the Poison Pill!
His destiny had been set in motion!
"My Lord, allow me seven days!"
"One day per life; if seven lives fail to forge the Heavenly Poison Pill, it proves my alchemy falls short, and I'll face the consequences!"
Seven days, is it?
Li Che chuckled softly.
Having sworn his vow, Gu Changqing gathered the supplies and summoned the apprentices, their mouths full of sweets, to head back to Mo City as a group.
The chamber plunged into quietness once again.
Li Che brewed a cup of steaming tea for himself, taking slow sips.
His thoughts, though, drifted to the query Fang Hanshu had raised.
"Beyond the Underworld Yama..."
The claim had been staked.
There absolutely couldn't be no one superior to the Underworld Yama, right?
A subtle glint passed through his eyes.
The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit in his chest thrummed with intense force.
In a flash, it ignited the Dao Tribulation.
His form disappeared from the spot, stepping into the Dao Tribulation Space...
Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame!
Boom——!!!
Fierce, scorching heat erupted without warning, boundless infernos raging like an ocean blaze, devouring all quarters and shattering the five realms.
Violet fires churned and roared, searing lands and oceans, shattering peaks and celestial bodies!
Li Che bellowed toward the heavens, his locks whipping ferociously!
Within his gaze, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit surged madly, unleashing torrents of golden Qi-blood.
The Martial Immortal Golden Body reached its utmost limit!
Fists balled tight, Qi-blood wove and fused into golden dragon elephants lunging forth!
Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant!
Aiming at the vault overhead, the colossal elephant foot born from coalesced purple flames slammed into it with unyielding might!
Boom——!!!
Back in the study.
Li Che's presence reappeared in an instant.
His eyes snapped open, blazing with such intense heat that the surrounding atmosphere warped!
The agony crushed and quelled by the Dao Tribulation flooded through his frame at once.
"Hah——"
"Ho——"
A deep inhale followed by a steady exhale.
The raging thermal surge caused the room's heat to climb rapidly!
Li Che's radiant golden eyes gleamed intensely before the luster slowly faded.
The instant after.
A wisp of violet glow began to rise gradually.
As he stood, Li Che extended his five fingers apart.
Between those lithe digits resembling godly lances, a subtle purple flame danced, warping the void with each flicker.
[Dao Tribulation: Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame (1%)]
Li Che stared at the purple flame, ideas stirring in his thoughts.
His fingers parted wide, gently extinguishing the purple flame before pressing it to his crown.
Boom——!!!
In that moment...
Li Che's whole head became consumed by the purple flame!
Skin liquefied, hair scorched away, flesh and blood evaporated, leaving only the golden skeletal cranium beneath the purple Dao Tribulation Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame glowing ominously!
Resembling a demonic ghost sovereign emerging from the depths of Hell, igniting the five defiled worlds!
And so, superior to Yama.
Stands the Earthly Ghost Emperor!
