As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1705: Devouring the Four Heavenly Kings—Li Che Breeds Monsters, Heart Unstained, Pure Heart’s Fifth Metamorphosis
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
Yet why would the God descend and turn into a Temple God?
Countless enigmas swirl like dense mist, clouding vision and hiding the real facts from sight.
Deciding to set aside these thoughts, Li Che turned his gaze toward the two young children.
He motioned to them.
"Let’s go."
...
Clatter, clatter...
Endless rain poured down, as Xi Xi and Jin Taixui lingered by the Deep Pit's rim, their moods somber and heavy.
The friends they had ventured out to train with had abruptly vanished two in number. Jin Taixui managed to hold steady, yet Xi Xi grieved so deeply that breathing felt arduous.
For the first time, she faced such heartbreaking separations and absences.
Still, her father promised to retrieve Yun E and Zhou Peng. Was that truly possible?
Glancing at the desolate area around them, with blood-red clouds tumbling in the Heavenly Dome overhead, it seemed like icy blood was about to shower down.
This strange sign emerged alongside the downfall of the Divine Tribulation.
She rested against a massive tree and sank to the ground. Spots of leaves shielded most of the downpour, but Xi Xi was gripped by profound sorrow.
Jin Taixui remained silently at Xi Xi’s side, offering quiet companionship without words.
All at once.
Xi Xi lifted her head sharply, her Primordial Spirit detecting clear ripples in the atmosphere.
Gazing upward, she spotted her father guiding Yun E and Zhou Peng, emerging from nothing, drenched in the blood rain, approaching steadily.
Xi Xi stared at Yun E and Zhou Peng. Yun E cheekily blinked at Xi Xi, her pale and lovely features displaying warmth and delight.
The thrill of coming together again perhaps sparked more vitality in Yun E.
Meanwhile, Zhou Peng copied Xi Xi by bulging his small tummy, then flashed a wide smile.
Xi Xi sprang to her feet without delay.
Ecstasy sparkled in her eyes, barely contained and on the verge of spilling out.
She plunged into the rain, dashing forward with speed.
...
...
Li Che didn't leave the four young girls behind but headed into Mo City to organize the gains from this fight.
Rather, he remained with the delighted quartet of children.
They stepped into the partially destroyed Luoyun City, discovered a spot to avoid the rain, and awaited Lv Taibai and the rest to show up.
Roughly half an hour passed.
Sword beams sliced through the dark sky, ripping apart the blood rain.
Aboard the Sword Artifact, Lv Taibai, now a formidable Great Cultivator, hovered elegantly, a trace of astonishment flickering in his gaze.
Lv Qiankun’s locks and whiskers whipped about, his elderly eyes holding unfathomable depth: "A Divine Tribulation has fallen."
"This marks the disturbance from a fallen Divine Tribulation."
Fang Hanshu perched on the Flying Sword, his scholar's robe billowing, as he smoothed his elegant beard: "Corpse God Cult... Black Armor Guards..."
He swiftly noticed the bodies scattered in Luoyun City's wreckage.
"The Temple God’s residual energy lingers in the atmosphere..."
"We’ve come too late."
Fang Hanshu let out a sigh.
May no sorrowful events unfold.
"Sect Master, over here."
Shielded by the unfolding Heaven and Earth chessboard, Li Che had already picked up on the presence of Lv Taibai, Lv Qiankun, and their group, so he called right away.
Lv Taibai, freshly advanced to Divine Tribulation, his Heaven and Earth Soul evolved into the Heaven and Earth Dao Soul, possessed an intensified awareness, incredibly precise, even starting to distinguish the core truth from illusions in matters.
The Taibai Sword shifted into a flowing silver glow and slipped back into his sleeve.
The trio touched down in Luoyun City, zeroing in on Li Che and the others’ location at once, rushing toward them.
"Sect Master!"
Xi Xi was enjoying a meal in the tavern and lit up with happiness upon spotting Lv Taibai.
Noting Xi Xi’s safety, Lv Taibai’s expression warmed instantly, easing the tension in his anxious mind.
Gatherings like this always bring happiness.
Even toward Fang Hanshu, the Demon Cave’s leader, Xi Xi felt no typical dread but instead a bit of cheer.
"Ji Moli is dead."
Fang Hanshu regarded Li Che and shared his assumption.
From the remains of the Corpse God Cult and Black Armor Guards, Fang Hanshu easily inferred the perished Divine Tribulation was Ji Moli.
Since Lv Taibai had ascended to Divine Tribulation, Ji Moli... employing whatever methods, reaching Divine Tribulation wasn't overly challenging.
Besides, as the Divine Tide drew near, the surges of divine power across Heaven and Earth had grown considerably, rendering the breakthrough to Divine Tribulation simpler than in past times.
Li Che felt no shock that Fang Hanshu figured it out, knowing the scholar's actual background.
"Indeed, Ji Moli advanced to Divine Tribulation, planning to slaughter this city, collect Blood Souls, gear up for the trip to Qi Tian City, and he aimed to end Xi Xi too, so I rushed here and called on Underworld allies for aid, dealing with Ji Moli."
Li Che explained steadily.
Hearing this, Lv Taibai and Fang Hanshu showed little astonishment.
The Underworld’s enigmas and might had long exceeded prior levels, and with the new Earthly Ghost Emperor added, while Ji Moli had only just entered Divine Tribulation...
The outcome held scant uncertainty.
Breathing out in relief, Lv Taibai patted Xi Xi’s head and sighed.
"Massacre..."
"Ji Moli has gone completely insane!"
"King Ping Luan? What nonsense."
...
...
Guarded by Lv Taibai and his companions.
Li Che could finally relax and venture into Mo City to tally up the rewards.
During the tallying, Li Che needed full concentration, concerned that any external trouble might arise too suddenly to safeguard against, like the enigmatic monk tied to Ji Moli, originating from the Western Regions Buddha Land, who puppeteered Ji Moli into the slaughter, the wicked monk Golden Cicada amassing Blood Souls.
Therefore, only now could he methodically review the rewards.
In Mo City, gusts and showers fluctuated wildly.
Li Che’s Qi-Blood surged fiercely around his form, turning into vapor that dispersed the vacant winds and rains.
He reached the spot near Ji Moli’s corpse, which the Thousand Mountains Solo Sky-cutting Blade had riddled with countless slashes.
Thinking back to the ceaseless cries that burst forth across Heaven and Earth after defeating Ji Moli, how many souls must have been slain, how many Blood Souls offered up, to forge such a grand spectacle?
