As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1628: Taibai Enters the Tribulation, Old Dragon God Prepares to Depart; Dream Master Molts Again, Dream Butterfly Reunites with Da Xixi

Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...

Li Che gazed upon Da Xixi's sorrowful transformation within the Dao Fruit, stirring a deep melancholy as he resolved to protect his daughter Xi Xi in this era. He examined the newly acquired Nightmare Divine Skill, noting its Formless Nightmare ability that rendered one impervious to three attacks, while Zhang Ya found solace in a vivid dream of the real Xi Xi. Suddenly, the Qian Yuan Divine Sect trembled violently, black clouds gathering as the Destructive God Wind Tribulation—one of the Three Calamities—descended, signaling Sect Master Lv Taibai's perilous breakthrough to the Divine Tribulation Realm. Alarmed Martial Gods and patriarchs ascended, with Fang Hanshu warning Li Che that the event's visibility would draw enemies like the Imperial Court and the Old Dragon God, threatening to exploit the vulnerability.

"Thus, should the Sect Master manage to break through the realm successfully, when confronting Gu Qianchi from Bashu Sword Pavilion, provided he grasps the might of Tribulation, unilateral dominance could be his..."

"The Old Dragon God will never permit such an outcome..."

"With Zhao Beidou unable to meddle anymore, the court's forces will boast one additional Divine Tribulation powerhouse over ours... Should the Sect Master achieve breakthrough, the tide will turn in our favor."

Fang Hanshu's eyes grew deeply intense.

"Qian Yuan Divine Sect... what a worthy stronghold. I wish to defend it for a bit longer."

"A Che... do you feel assured?"

Fang Hanshu inquired of Li Che.

He understood well that should foes exploit Lv Taibai's Tribulation breakthrough to assault Qian Yuan Divine Sect, the sect's survival would hinge solely on Li Che's efforts.

Underworld, Horse Face... Li Che.

"Yes."

Li Che's gaze shimmered faintly; he felt the Confining God Chess Piece's thrill and quiver.

A spark of eagerness stirred within him.

"Heavenly Poison Pill... refinement complete!"

Time to face this Old Dragon head-on!

Li Che's stare turned resolute.

He tapped his finger casually through the air.

Linking up with Xie Yushen, distant by eight hundred miles.

...

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Over the expansive Grand Canal, surges abruptly arose, rippling outward in thick, dense circles.

Yet from Qianyuan Taoist City's bearing, a torrent akin to a raging river current exploded forth!

It carried the force to shatter skies and earth!

Bang!

The Grand Canal's waters erupted violently.

Warm spring waters rouse ducks at once. As the Old Dragon God cultivated alongside the Dragon God Crown Prince and fellow Dragon Sons and Grandsons within the canal's flow, the incoming waves from Qianyuan Taoist City evaded his notice not one bit!

The Old Dragon God shot skyward, his white beard whipping wildly, twin dragon horns radiating piercing ferocity that rent the void, his gaze exploding with icy glare.

In the court's encampment.

A fierce sword gleam pierced the heavens!

It bloomed high above in an instant, though the sword's aura remained contained, avoiding any wild or domineering flare.

For now, the Will of Heaven and Earth stood hypersensitive; courting calamity would prove disastrous.

The very instant Lv Taibai pulled in the Tribulation's aura, Gu Qianchi, Bashu Sword Pavilion's Grandmaster with his acute sword qi intuition, detected the anomaly.

"This is..."

Gu Qianchi's countenance turned utterly solemn.

"No doubt about it, Qian Yuan Divine Sect's Sect Master, Lv Taibai, is pushing for Divine Tribulation, aiming to ascend amid the catastrophe!"

The Old Dragon God's voice boomed, echoing over the courtly troops.

Gu Qianchi's features shifted subtly: "Bold move... this Lv Taibai shows real spine, fueled by his sect's peril and duty... he could very well succeed in Tribulation breakthrough!"

"We delay no more!"

Even Gu Qianchi felt a touch of urgency now.

The Old Dragon God narrowed his eyes, clasping hands behind.

"This Old Dragon will inquire—must we truly stand by in this crisis? If the State Preceptor insists on waiting, then I, Old Dragon, part ways here, marching straight to the Divine Capital to demand of Dajing's Emperor if his chosen State Preceptor truly intends to strike the mountain sect and seize the realm's Qi Fortune!"

A chill laced the Old Dragon God's words, as if wary of being drawn into idle games.

However.

Upon reaching the command tent's entrance.

The flap parted abruptly.

Xie Yushen emerged steadily, clad in flowing crane robes, feathered fan swaying gently, his scholarly attire billowing.

"Never anticipated Lv Taibai's intent to breakthrough amid calamity—true audacity."

"Looks like waiting's no option..."

"Tonight, we strike Qianyuan Taoist City once more!"

"Lv Taibai cannot be allowed his Tribulation breakthrough!"

Xie Yushen thrust his feathered fan aloft, aiming toward Qianyuan Taoist City.

"Dragon God Senior! Advance!"
