As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1718: The Underworld Has Experts Niu 1 and Niu 2, Skipping Rules to Feed Dao Fruit

Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
Powerful figures from sects, ancient families, and distant lands converged outside Qi Tian City, drawn by the Black Bull Demon God Venerable's declaration, shattering the fragile human alliance as they formed camps in tense standoff. Xuan Jiu Zhuan, estranged from his Xuanfu Divine Sect, joined Lv Taibai's side, congratulating his breakthrough to Divine Tribulation while hinting at internal troubles that forced his departure. Amid the soaring demon energy and guarding Demon Gods at the gates, no one dared make the first move, their immortality fueling caution against the unknown perils within. Li Che, holding Xi Xi's hand under shelter, felt his Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit tremble with an irrepressible urge, subtly replacing himself with the Painting Immortal Avatar as the little girl eagerly urged battle, oblivious to the shift. A sudden wind stirred, drawing the eyes of the assembled experts.

A surge of powerful beings with Heaven and Earth Soul swept through, rapidly spotting the crowd of Jianghu onlookers who had gathered to observe.

In their midst, a robust silhouette clad in a dark robe and topped with a bamboo hat gradually stepped out from the spectators, advancing steadily.

The dark robe billowed wildly in the breeze, whipping with force.

His features remained hidden beneath the hat's brim, impossible to discern.

Still, the lone form pressed on toward the grand and imposing Qi Tian City, where Demon Gods unleashed pillars of demonic energy, wreaking havoc across the land.

The thoughts of many onlookers stirred faintly.

"Who could that be?"

Wonder filled the minds of numerous individuals.

A Jianghu wanderer?

In the martial realm, how many naive souls exist?

Countless Divine Tribulation experts stood ready, eager to witness who would crack first, only for... a mere Jianghu wanderer to dash out toward certain doom?

During such a grand affair, could a Jianghu wanderer truly intervene?

A chill settled in the eyes of many, laced with a hint of ridicule.

The mighty figures gathered came from diverse Great Divine Sects, the Da Jing Dynasty, the Da Li Royal Court, Ancient Families, and other influential forces.

They naturally held little regard for the Jianghu wanderer.

Merely spectators to an entertaining show.

The cloaked and hatted figure in black steadily approached the foot of the West City Tower.

From his perch at the city gate, the Heavenly Crane Demon God directed a piercing stare like a blade, cold beyond measure, as if slicing the very atmosphere.

The fearsome aura of calamity inherent to Divine Tribulation cultivators crashed down like an immense peak.

Yet, the black-robed and hooded Jianghu wanderer displayed no hint of quaking.

Perfectly composed.

Boom—!!!

In the instant that followed, the formidable presence of a Martial Saint erupted outward!

Upon the tower.

The Heavenly Crane Demon God narrowed his eyes: "Four-Open Martial Saint... Ha."

"White Mantis Demon King, handle this one."

"It's yours to devour."

With that command, a flash of pale blade light shot from behind him, accompanied by surging sword intent that churned without end!

White Mantis Demon King... a mighty demon ruler on par with elite peak Martial Saints, among the initial five demon kings who seized Qi Tian City.

Yet, as hordes of potent demon gods from Ten Thousand Rivers arrived, these demon kings faded into supporting positions.

Upon touching down, the White Mantis Demon King caused the ground before Qi Tian City to crack under unseen sword forces.

Humanoid in shape, his arms ended not in hands but in two lengthy, razor-sharp white edges merged with his skeleton.

The paired scythes swayed lightly, parting the air with ease.

Elite peak against a Four-Open Martial Saint...

No doubt about the outcome.

Nevertheless, the Jianghu wanderer offered a faint grin, his tone deep and echoing.

"Is it possible to slay it?"

A soft query rose from the Jianghu wanderer, apparently aimed at the Black Bull Demon God Venerable looming over Qi Tian City, enveloped in layered demonic aura.

The enormous orbs of the Black Bull Demon God Venerable narrowed slightly.

"Naturally, it is."

"Defeating the foe by slaying them still secures the win."

"If you manage to eliminate my demon race's demon king, then do so. But should you fall short and get slain by my demon race's demon king... well, it's simply your weakness showing, for daring to step forward alone."

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable's words boomed like a massive gong.

Hearing the Black Bull Demon God Venerable's response, the bulging eyes of the White Mantis Demon King gleamed with sudden fervor.

"Perish—!!!"

Bang—!

As his foot struck solidly, the nearby winds and metallic essence swirled, pale surges rolled forth, blasts of air scattered, and myriad sword intents slashed densely in every direction!

The instant the White Mantis Demon King attacked.

All eyes sharpened, locking onto the scene.

Boom—!!!

Myriad sword intents intertwined with demonic power detonated at once.

The Jianghu wanderer's hat was sheared by the blade force, exposing locks of hair as dark and vital as black thunderbolts, whipping wildly amid exploding pale surges.

Under the raven tresses lay a visage masked by a Cute Bull Mask, carved upon it with a knife the single character "One."

Boom—

Blade force burst apart!

The elite peak White Mantis Demon King abruptly felt an awful weight descend!

Innumerable sword intents slashed down savagely!

And the watching assembly burst into motion, alive with shock.

Hmm?!

"Bull Demon?!"

The notion struck many abruptly, evoking that title.

Netherworld Ox Demon!

His fame had spread far too widely; in the current era, the Netherworld name had risen to prominence, far from the lesser-known entity fresh from Flying Thunder.

Netherworld!

What was presumed a foolish suicidal charge by a Jianghu wanderer now ignited brilliant sparks in the eyes of cultivators from great powers!

Even the Divine Tribulation experts appeared stirred, their potent Heaven and Earth Soul probing swiftly.

"I hail from Netherworld... Niu Yi."

A raspy utterance issued from under the scratched Cute Bull Mask.

Boom—

The form's frame abruptly swelled, sinews like twisted serpents layering thickly, fist clenched with nine fierce Angry Dragon meridians nearly shredding the black robe!

The White Mantis Demon King, unleashing his blade aura, suddenly bristled, detecting a gigantic burden like a peak crushing upon him.

Inside, his demonic essence seemed hunted by a dread Demon God, an overwhelming force that rooted him in place.

"Ah—!!!"

The peril of demise cascaded over him, prompting the White Mantis Demon King to roar in fury.

With his mantis scythes, he lashed out wildly in defiance, breaking free from the odd restraint, countless blade intents fused with demonic power hacking ferociously!
