As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1716: The Underworld’s Elite Bull 1 and Bull 2, Jumping Back and Forth on the Rules to Feed the Dao Fruit
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
Rumble——
A thunderous roar burst forth from the enormous, fearsome Black Bull Demon God, sending shockwaves rippling outward in every direction.
The flying sword floated high in the expansive heavens.
Lv Taibai positioned himself at the sword's edge, his gleaming silver-white locks whipping about nonstop, while a grave look filled his gaze.
Next to him, Lv Qiankun and Fang Hanshu displayed shifting faces, itching to act.
Getting into Qi Tian City sooner would undoubtedly offer huge advantages for the Temple God Resonance of Qi Tian Mysterious Temple.
After all, Qi Tian City had been bequeathed by the Equal Heaven Temple long ago, and it likely held numerous remnants within, where hints could uncover various techniques and paths tied to the Temple God Resonance of Qi Tian Mysterious Temple.
Actually, it wasn't just Lv Taibai and his group; even the powerhouses from across the lands who had gathered in Five-finger Town wore odd looks on their faces.
Naturally, certain individuals wavered inwardly, wondering if this ancient black bull really planned to unlock Qi Tian City.
Or perhaps it was all a sham, drawing them inside just to slaughter them?
If that proved the case... they'd prefer to skip this approach altogether, instead rallying the mighty and charging into Qi Tian City as one.
Yet, the diverse factions lacked true unity—for instance, on the Dajing side, the top figure at the Heavenly Gate, Ye Pengju, along with Temple Control Bureau specialists like Wang Kui, and a Divine Tribulation elder from the Dajing Royal Family.
Their alliance with the Da Li Royal Court inevitably sparked tensions, hindering any real joint effort for mutual gain.
Furthermore, the Western Regions Buddha Land stood opposed to both Dajing and Da Li, since its aim was to remake the whole world into a Buddha Country.
Let the Great Buddha reign eternally, with billions embracing the faith, all merging into the Buddha Country!
Dajing and Da Li, of course, ranked high among the Western Regions Buddha Land's objectives.
In truth, the Western Regions Buddha Land had already launched this campaign openly, leading to swathes of Dajing and Da Li territories falling under Buddha Land influence.
Such as Dajing’s Xiling Road, plus the frontier zones between Da Li and the Western Regions Buddha Land, among others.
It had to be admitted that the Human Race remained divided at its core, unless some dire threat loomed over their very survival.
Right now, as the Second Disaster Black Bull Demon God Venerable in Qi Tian City declared its words, chaos erupted in Five-finger Town, stirring many restless souls.
Fang Hanshu, perched on the flying sword, took one look and saw that this supposed united front against Qi Tian City was crumbling even before the clash.
But that made sense, given it had never been a genuine bond.
Fang Hanshu let out a quiet sigh; the Human Race... always operated this way.
Each person harbored their own ideas, petty plots, forever chasing gains while dodging risks.
In a collective assault, nobody could predict the death toll, the number of powerhouses lost, or whether they'd even breach Qi Tian City.
With the Demon God Venerable now offering a bloodless path into Qi Tian City, it was no surprise that the majority of the mighty backed it.
Failing to gain entry there simply meant personal shortcomings.
Ultimately, overcoming the guarding demon race secured passage into the city... failing that meant one's own weakness prevailed.
"Hahaha, fear not, all of you—with the will of Equaling Heaven in play, my word stands firm once given... Should you enter the city, feel free to settle anywhere inside Qi Tian City, and my Demon Race vows not to touch even a single strand of your hair!"
The colossal ancient black bull, brimming with immense demonic power, bellowed with laughter.
Next, its enormous eyes, like forged copper, flashed with intense light, unleashing a dreadful presence that rattled the whole of Qi Tian City.
"Where are the Demons of the Ten Thousand Rivers?!"
Bolstered by endless demonic energy, the old bull appeared to surge heavenward.
"Guarding the West Gate of Qi Tian City stand the Heavenly Crane Demon God and its elite demon kings! Any Human Divine Tribulations seeking entry must overcome the Thousand Crane Demon God! Those under Divine Tribulation aiming to pass must outmatch the top demon kings at the gate!"
Booms resounded through the air.
At the very gate Lv Taibai had struck moments before, the middle-aged figure once a White Crane gripped a shining longsword, erupting with fearsome Power of Tribulation; a Disaster Wheel materialized at his back, Sword Qi piercing the skies!
"At the North Gate of Qi Tian City, the Jade Horned Rhinoceros Demon God and its elite demon kings stand guard!"
"At the South Gate of Qi Tian City, the Golden Winged Demon God and its elite demon kings stand guard!"
...
Rumble——
Demonic energy shot skyward without end, as the Black Bull Demon God Venerable's voice thundered like divine wrath.
Suddenly, from three sides of Qi Tian City, three pillars of demonic energy erupted toward the heavens!
The demonic energy grew so thick it felt solid, blasting upward to scatter the dark clouds overhead, birthing swirling clouds of pure demon force!
Gale winds howled, quaking the world itself!
This spectacle proved utterly horrifying!
Inside Qi Tian City, the Ten Thousand Rivers Demon Race forces swiftly arrayed this setup, positioning three demon gods at the trio of gates!
Gaining entry demanded vanquishing a Demon God!
Over Qi Tian City, mighty demons soared aloft, merging with the demon ranks and whipping up a monstrous wave of demonic energy!
They leered mockingly down at the human cultivators beyond Qi Tian City's walls.
By seizing Qi Tian City first, they held the upper hand, free to press forward or pull back at will.
Buzz——
Lv Taibai felt a surge in his chest.
At once, the Taibai Sword bore everyone down to solid earth.
Li Che guided Xi Xi and the young ones off the flying sword, as Fang Hanshu, Lv Qiankun, and Lv Taibai planted their feet firmly on the ground.
