As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1658: The Fifth Immortal Artisan Shedding, Second Type of Primordial Dao Tribulation, State Preceptor Invites the Underworld to Join Him...
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
An unending gale appeared to rage on, whipping up a tempest that assailed without mercy.
Streaks of light gradually converged in front of his vision, weaving together to form a notification.
The second tribulation!
Li Che's eyes sharpened in an instant!
The second form of disaster force!
The initial disaster force stemmed from the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, called the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame.
Meanwhile, this second disaster force originated from the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit, named the Primordial Sky-cutting Storm!
Resembling a wild, uncontrollable tempest!
This was the storm's tribulation!
A sense of doom, all too familiar, completely targeted Li Che's form, while a fierce blast surged at him, poised to destroy his soul and tear it into countless pieces.
Rumble——
At that instant, Li Che's Heaven and Earth Soul appeared to experience a profound change, steadily gaining power, as though a soul-shattering gale relentlessly wore it down.
Through this wearing, the soul kept fortifying itself.
[Dao Tribulation (Primordial Sky-cutting Storm): Invoke Dao for the trial, primordial essence of Heaven and Earth, Origin Wind Tribulation, Sky-cutting Immortal Craft]
Along with the howling, slicing force.
Phrases as if etched into the depths of his soul surfaced slowly in his sight, echoing like the tolls of mighty bells.
With a shift in his thoughts, Li Che plunged into the Dao Tribulation Space the very next instant.
Yet, by mere intent, the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame remained untouched.
Instead, it morphed into a different kind of Dao Tribulation force.
A single strand of wind wailed and swept by, floating idly at first, then joined by more and more gusts, thick and crowding, carving the space into myriad crisscrossing cuts.
Poof...
Li Che's spirit had barely manifested when the storm wiped it out completely.
Not a single tenth of a breath lasted.
Li Che's eyes snapped open, perched upon the Extended Arm Heavenly Armor, his face showing a touch of puzzlement.
As the bewilderment faded, Li Che's will stirred with resolve, diving back into the Dao Tribulation Space, where the Brow Niwan quivered, the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart pulsed fiercely, and the Heaven and Earth Spirit Bright True Ape bellowed...
Confronting the gale directly!
But then, nothing else happened.
Still under a fifth of a breath.
All shattered apart...
His soul felt overly delicate this time; the Dao Tribulation wind bypassed the flesh entirely, striking at the soul instead.
Against the Primordial Sky-cutting Storm, his soul was fragile like mere tissue.
Even more brittle than tissue, in fact.
[Dao Tribulation: Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame (2%), Primordial Sky-cutting Storm (0%)]
...
Li Che let out a breath, his gaze gleaming: "My body can endure the Martial Immortal Golden Body, but my soul can't hold up; even the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart falls short, and calling on the Divine Fetus offers no aid..."
He shook his head, aware that soul refinement demanded steady dedication and toil.
Yet, this Dao Tribulation's Primordial Sky-cutting Storm provided a path to bolster and refine soul strength.
Daily, by harnessing Dao Tribulation's might, one could hone the soul, build inner power, and purify spirit and essence!
If weak, then train harder!
Li Che held a deep yet straightforward grasp of his own limits.
The massive Extended Arm Heavenly Armor floated in the sky, monkey hairs fluttering, its gaze intensely vivid, evoking the reborn legend of Equaling Heaven.
A fearsome presence thundered, Dao Yun Power surged within, radiating immense dread and might.
High above the firmament, disaster's energy churned wildly.
Regrettably, the focus was merely a construct, so the Will of Heaven and Earth withheld the full descent of Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.
"Divine Machine, Divine Realm Mechanism..."
"Truly, it unleashes power at the Martial God level, with countless Wanxiang Nine Divine Seals activating together, unleashing boundless horror!"
Li Che expressed deep admiration.
His thoughts commanded, sending the Heavenly Armor plummeting downward, slamming into the earth and nearly cracking the whole terrain.
For this Extended Arm Heavenly Armor was simply too vast, akin to a towering peak.
Its awe-inspiring divine might stood grand and imposing.
Li Che descended gracefully from the heights, touching down softly on the soil.
Gazing at the well-known faces nearby, Li Che smiled and called out to them.
"Everyone, it's been ages."
...
...
Dong—dong—dong—
Divine Capital.
The Second City.
Eight Treasures Double Eave Drip Water Qintian Treasure Tower.
An old bell rang out solemnly, its vibrations resounding, carrying across a thousand li.
The bell's toll reached all Nine Cities of the Divine Capital, bursting in the ears of the elite clans and nobles, stirring unrest throughout.
At the same time.
Fang Shangzhen also passed on the Great Supervising Minister's decree that Qi Tian City had opened, with the Equal Heaven Temple's legacy set to appear in a month's time, news that swept the Divine Capital like a whirlwind right away.
This intelligence disseminated at breakneck speed, as every faction anticipated it.
Moreover, the message flowed via the Qintian Observatory's Qintian Treasure Pearl to the Great Scenery Eleven Paths, reaching the eleven Dao cities' outposts at the Qintian Observatory.
In mere moments, the tidings blanketed the whole realm.
Divine Capital's First City.
Inside the Imperial Palace Divine Hall.
Upon the central throne in the Divine Hall, the Emperor's features were veiled in Dao Yun and Divinity, enthroned with regal poise.
As Mr. Lian returned with a deferential bow bearing the report, the Emperor's gaze shifted subtly.
"A dispatch straight from the Great Supervising Minister?"
"Qi Tian City reopening, the grand momentum arrives..."
"Mr. Lian, what of the State Preceptor's condition?"
The Emperor inquired solemnly.
Mr. Lian bowed his head, his eyes glinting, replying: "The State Preceptor's second clash with Qian Yuan ended in defeat... He has turned his sights elsewhere, now assailing the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, and fresh reports indicate the State Preceptor is piercing through Guangling Dao City, on the verge of wiping out the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect..."
