As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1619: Purgatory Opens, Earthly Hell’s Evil Welcomes the Ghost Emperor; The State Preceptor Is the Imperial Court’s Loyal Dragon God—Trust Me...
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
Purple flames rage, incinerating mountains and vaporizing oceans, hushed but fiercely blazing!
The flame that burns in silence slowly warps the surrounding space, turning the emptiness into what feels like kindling.
Within the study room.
Li Che remains still, but his whole presence has shifted dramatically, his head wrapped in purple flames, flesh, blood, and hair all dissolved away, reduced to ashes.
Just the golden skeleton of the Martial Immortal Golden Body endures, contorting and searing beneath the purple blaze!
Employing the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame as this Tao Tribulation Power to form a fresh guise over his features, the fire hides his face entirely, shaping him into a sinister ghost emperor rising from the depths of hell.
A fearsome, overbearing, devouring presence gradually emanates from Li Che’s form.
The purple Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame even erupts with a dreadful calamity essence, a force that surpasses the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.
Even Zhao Beidou, a mighty Divine Tribulation Cultivator who wields the White Netherworld Tribulation Fire, pales in comparison to the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame, utterly outmatched.
"Earthly Ghost Emperor..."Li Che’s golden skull shrouded in purple fire, with empty dark sockets for eyes, holds infinite shadows gleaming inside, forged from golden bones yet the hollows plunge endlessly deep, like twin Netherworld Vortexes.
"Tao Tribulation Power..."
His five fingers extend fully.
Pulling the purple fire away from his head, in a flash, blood reforms, hair flows freely, and eyes gleam with vivid light.
Li Che reverts to his true visage.
It acts more like a disguise that alters his look, although for shifting appearances, this method proves direct and savage.
It simply scorches the flesh and hair to nothing, preserving solely the skeleton unharmed.
Boom—
The Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame whirling between his fingers gets slammed back onto his head once more, immediately the blaze surges, consuming his whole head, his presence climbing endlessly, the nearby space warping utterly, as though an awe-inspiring energy keeps pulsing forever.
The purple fire sears and weaves into a horrifyingly vague outline of a Demon Elephant!
A Divine Dragon wraps around the Demon Elephant’s frame, forming the Dragon Elephant Merged Form!
Li Che rises, his black robe billowing, purple fire dancing, his entire being appears to become a void, contracting and devouring endless energies like a raging whirlwind!
Under the searing flames, from the golden skull’s gaze, everything in heaven and earth turns icy and barren in its stare, revealing only a shadowy wicked realm.
"Ghost Emperor... Earthly Ghost Emperor!"
"Drawing Tao Tribulation Power into oneself, one becomes the Ghost Emperor!"
Li Che’s bony jaws part and meet, as if drawing breath.
The prolonged inhalation rushes without end, Li Che’s thoughts whirl, the Heaven and Earth chessboard swiftly unfolds and grows, fully enclosing the study, blocking out all presence!
In the following instant, Li Che’s form shifts faintly, vast blood qi erupts in a burst!
The latent spine dragon inside his body awakens as if provoked, baring its fangs in a thunderous bellow, the pent-up might within fully stirs to life!
The eight meridian nodes, driven by the blood qi, undergo an eightfold boost, amplifying the blood qi in relentless waves!
The Eight Extraordinary Meridians activate all at once!
The roaring, fiery golden blood qi detonates fiercely, surges outward, every one of the thirty-six thousand pores across his body flings open, expelling highly dense blood qi!
A ten-thousand-feet Qi Sea Golden Pond vision appears, joined by that ten-thousand-feet Martial Arts Mountain, as though his grasp of the martial way up to now fully reveals itself right here!
Enveloping the head, charring the whole head down to just the golden bones using the Tao Tribulation Dragon-Elephant Flame, it blazes with savage intensity.
At once, the golden Qi Sea Golden Pond takes on a purple hue, evolving into a purple Qi Sea, churning and bubbling.
Li Che’s full reserve of golden blood qi shifts likewise into purple blood qi!
Sinister, chilling, it consumes all in its path, eradicates everything, like the gates of Hell creaking open, the malevolent ghost emperor striding forth leisurely, commanding the myriad tormented spirits of the infernal ghost realm.
"It’s a pity... the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame, I only have a preliminary grasp, not much mastery, otherwise the Tao Tribulation Fire, integrated into the Eight Extraordinary Meridians’ blood qi, would give my blood qi... an added Tao Tribulation trait!"
Li Che’s gaze flashes.
The Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame, he controls merely a strand.
The essence of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations falls to Divine Tribulations and Martial Gods to command, yet at present, Li Che’s cultivation falls short of that realm, but drawing on the Tao Tribulation aura from the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame, he can scarcely project the presence and crushing might resembling Divine Tribulation.
"Still need to strive to refine the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame."
The greater the amount of Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame under his control, the higher Li Che’s Ghost Emperor strength can climb!
Potentially even matching a genuine Divine Tribulation Flame, or exceeding it outright!
Li Che’s thoughts shift, his whole form dives back into the Tao Tribulation Space, and then...
No "then" follows, merely a single breath later, Li Che gets hurled aside by the Primordial Demon Elephant born from the Tao Tribulation Fire.
He shakes his head.
To push the Ghost Emperor’s power to its utmost, it looks like...
A challenging path lies before him.
...
...
Icy clouds drape over summits, pristine snow at dawn gathers splendor.
The outline of Qingshan at the edge of the world, veiled in drifting clouds and fog, with the night’s gloom almost impossible to dispel.
Divine Capital, First City.
Imperial Palace.
Snowflakes dance downward, draping the grand Divine Palace in a coat of frost, lending it a mystical air like a frozen Divine Domain.
The whole of Divine Capital’s First City lies within the Imperial Palace’s domain, one city reshaped into the grounds of a palace, filled with innumerable ornate halls of splendid design.
