As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1627: Taibai Enters Tribulation, Old Dragon God Sets Out; Dream Master Transforms Again, Dream Butterfly and Da Xixi Reappear
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
Transformations from other Dao Fruits usually evoked strong feelings in Li Che, yet this particular Dao Fruit's change brought him a faint touch of sorrow.
Maybe it stemmed from witnessing Da Xixi in her lonely and desolate condition, looking so grief-stricken and tormented, which made Li Che naturally wish to turn it away.
He let out a soft sigh.
In these varying eras, what options did he really have?
All he could manage was to give everything to make sure his daughter Xi Xi in this era thrived, stayed secure, and matured joyful and without worries!
Regarding the Nightmare Divine Skill from the Dream Master that he'd newly obtained, Li Che gave it a quick examination.
A flicker of peculiar light flashed unintentionally in his gaze.
The Formless Nightmare allowed a person's real-world presence to seem like it was in a dream, turning into an intangible being, like a shadow or the moon's reflection on water, immune to strikes, untouched even by the rupture of space itself.
Yet, the downside was that this Divine Skill's intangible form could endure just three strikes.
After those three, the Formless Nightmare condition would vanish on its own.
At that point, the blows would strike solidly against the flesh.
Zhang Ya stirred awake too, and after a brief intimate moment with Li Che, the pair stepped out of the sleeping chamber, while Li Che, sensing a faint unrest in his chest, headed into the study room.
In the meantime, Zhang Ya kept up her martial arts training with the Golden-haired Hou in the yard, advancing swiftly in her skills.
Having seen Xi Xi within the dream, Zhang Ya's spirits lifted greatly since she realized the Xi Xi from the vision was surely the genuine one.
It all felt incredibly lifelike—the Xi Xi's responses, the sensation of touching her—everything mirrored the waking world perfectly.
This slowly soothed the tensions in Zhang Ya's mind.
Elsewhere.
Li Che had nearly made it back to the study.
All at once.
The once-calm Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
Started quaking fiercely, like a monstrous earthquake had struck!
Then, waves of this tremor radiated outward in circles, echoing far and wide, crashing into every corner, extending across all of Qianyuan Taoist City.
And even...
It kept pushing past the boundaries of Qianyuan Taoist City!
Dark clouds boiled over, fierce snow howled through the air!
The Grand Canal burst into savage waves, its waters churning wildly, whipping up countless surges!
It seemed as though the entire world plunged into utter quiet.
High in the heavens, an overwhelming force of Heaven and Earth Will rushed out like a flood!
Immensely crushing, suffocating beyond measure.
Nobody could tell when the ink-black clouds had started assembling without pause, thickening densely right over the city!
Heavy and suffocating!
All eyes turned upward to the brooding sky, and a profound hush fell over the crowd.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——
Sounds of slicing through the air echoed sharply.
These came from the Martial Gods of Qianyuan Dao City, the Divine Fetus Great Gods belonging to the mighty Noble Families.
Right now, their expressions brimmed with sheer dread.
"This... this is the Destructive God Wind Tribulation, part of the Three Calamities!"
"A genuine Three Calamities Tribulation!"
"Someone's on the verge of advancing to the Divine Tribulation Realm? Who... who's facing the divine tribulation?!"
...
The heads of several clans felt utter astonishment, their souls quaking in fear.
Feng Zhiqi, Wenlong Yuwen, Hong Shifu, and the rest soared into the skies successively.
Feng Zhiqi's frame was massive and sturdy, his gaze shining with exceptional intensity!
"The Three Calamities Tribulation! Destructive God Wind Tribulation... is it the Sect Master facing the tribulation?!"
Crossing into the divine tribulation means facing the tribulation!
This phrase echoed across the realm.
Hum——
The atmosphere thrummed as a majestic and boundless Vast River roared into view, stretching across the firmament.
Immense Qi flowed everywhere, drawing in the full brunt of the Heaven and Earth Will's dread might.
It was none other than Fang Hanshu.
Now, Fang Hanshu's scholar's robe billowed, his striking beard whipping about in the gale, a hint of gravity in his eyes.
Lv Taibai...
Was on the cusp of facing the tribulation!
Success in facing the tribulation hung between survival and doom!
Attempting the leap to the Divine Tribulation Realm offered just two paths: triumphing in the tribulation to enter the God Realm, or crumbling in failure, denied the tribulation, reduced to ashes.
No exceptions—defeat equaled oblivion.
Such was the brutality of the Divine Tribulation Calamity; from the moment the Mysterious Temple appeared and Divinity flooded the skies, with the inaugural God Tribulation descending, countless prodigies had dissolved into nothing before it.
Genius or not, no matter your stature, no matter your supremacy below the heavens...
Even if you ruled an age, failing the divine tribulation meant your end.
Li Che's robe of embroidered golden lotus and Mo Shan billowed, his thick black hair lashing about fiercely.
He launched skyward as well, in one stride, arriving swiftly beside Fang Hanshu.
"The Sect Master is facing the tribulation?"
Li Che narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Indeed... life or death... hinges on this single tribulation."
"Truth be told, the Sect Master's groundwork remains a bit insufficient; he's rushing too much, yet there's no alternative... the crisis's weight compelled the Sect Master to choose this path."
"Still, this very choice offers a shot at going all out, backed by safeguards and a real hope of pulling through."
Fang Hanshu smoothed his striking beard, his voice low and steady.
Li Che gave a nod.
As Fang Hanshu regarded Li Che, he drew a slow breath and continued: "The Sect Master's ascension's aura can't stay under wraps; the force of facing the tribulation overwhelms all... "
"Thus, the Imperial Court will surely catch wind of it; hiding the news of the Sect Master's advance is impossible, and given Xie Yushen and the Old Dragon God's shrewdness, they'd never miss such a prime chance..."
"Furthermore, they'll absolutely deny the Taibai Sect Master any opening to endure the divine tribulation..."
"Should the Taibai Sect Master endure the divine tribulation, the Dao path he's forged falls among the three disasters—the Destructive God Wind Disaster Dao Position! It surpasses the standard calamities!"
