As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1720: Opening the Martial Saint Heavenly Gate Before Qi Tian City, Witnessing the Martial Immortal After the Golden Heavenly Gate

Underworld...
Once more, it’s the Underworld!
Furthermore, that recognizable Cute Bull Mask shows up, complete with two carved inscriptions, but it’s undeniably the exact same Cute Bull Mask.
Niu Yi, Niu Er...
Two Top Demon Kings have been butchered one after another!
Suddenly, a deadly chill gripped the air, as horrifying killing intent exploded fiercely, cascading down from the city walls.
Atop the city tower, the Heavenly Crane Demon God’s expression grew utterly somber. These Top Demon Kings represented vital elite forces even in his own ranks!
Yet now, two had perished in quick succession, inflicting a massive blow on the Heavenly Crane Demon King and causing his standing among the Ten Thousand Rivers in the human realm to nosedive sharply.
He no longer held the power to rival other Demon Gods in stature.
Within the Demon Race, the strength of one’s followers holds immense value—the count of Demon Kings, along with the hordes of Great and Little Demons, all carry significant weight.
"Underworld!!!"
The Heavenly Crane Demon God erupted in uncontrollable rage, his avian eyes bulging as if ready to pop out, his bellow slicing through the vast heavens!
He leaped to his feet abruptly, with endless Sword Qi swirling and clashing around him, while his Crane Robe billowed wildly.
His gaze snapped toward Niu Yi, positioned nearby on the city tower.
Could Niu Yi and Niu Er... be one and the same?
The Heavenly Crane Demon God’s features hardened into ice.
Meanwhile, below, after dispatching the Primordial Leopard Demon King, Li Che casually extracted the Demon Core, savoring a deep sense of satisfaction.
A gleam flickered before his vision.
[Dao Fruit: Ten Thousand Demon Emperor (LV5, 70%)]
The essence from a single Demon King had boosted the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit’s progress by a solid 10%. A couple more could propel it straight to Level 6.
Hence, Li Che’s grin widened uncontrollably, filling him with delight.
Such steady advancement in a Dao Fruit’s growth proved both crucial and uncommon for Li Che.
An unsettling hush fell over the realm.
Even the enormous black bull visage, woven from dense demon energy hovering above Qi Tian City, displayed a trace of fury.
After all, the names Niu Yi and Niu Er felt far too suspicious, hinting they might be the handiwork of a single individual.
However...
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable unleashed his awe-inspiring Heaven and Earth Soul, one that could lock down space itself, scanning across Niu Yi’s form, only to knit his brows in confusion.
Since Niu Yi perched upon the city tower with solid flesh and blood, revealing the reality proved impossible.
The Heavenly Crane Demon God’s frame brimmed with resounding Sword Qi.
Still, beneath the Black Bull Demon God’s oppressive presence, he refrained from any motion. Hierarchy trumps all, particularly in the Demon Race, where superiors exert total control over inferiors.
"Enter the city."
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable commanded with steady calm.
Masked as Niu Er, Li Che remained utterly composed and strode into the city without hesitation.
Once he picked out a dwelling inside, he ascended to the city tower, positioning himself side by side with Niu Yi.
The Heavenly Crane Demon God, perched on the city tower, directed a piercing stare toward the enigmatic masked duo of Niu Yi and Niu Er.
Yet Niu Yi and Niu Er stayed poised, considering they were merely avatars of the Fairy in the Painting.
Below Qi Tian City.
Among the throng of watching cultivators, one couldn’t suppress a quiet laugh.
The Demon Race’s maneuvers truly resembled lifting a boulder just to smash one’s own toes.
The mighty always claim the right to dictate terms.
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable, aiming to enforce the Heavenly Will, likely devised these rules to compel the savage Demon Race powerhouses to cull some human cultivators seeking entry, thereby cowing the humans.
This would thwart any unified human assault on Qi Tian City’s Demon Race forces while also crushing the humans’ morale.
But in the end...
Two Demon Kings lay dead instead.
The morale of Qi Tian City’s Demon Race had taken a noticeable hit.
The human cultivators assembled under Qi Tian City, who had endured suppression for days, now breathed easier.
Evidently, Qi Tian City should rightfully be human territory, but these cultivators from the human clans found themselves barred from entry, repelled by the Demon Race.
"Hahahaha! So satisfying!"
Lv Taibai burst into hearty laughter.
His silver locks whipped about fiercely, his gaze alight with fervor.
The Taibai Sword concealed in his sleeve hummed eagerly, yearning to leap free and clash with the Demon God.
Nevertheless, Lv Taibai held back, aware that... the Underworld had intervened.
With the Underworld stepping in, it was best to watch and wait.
Nobody handles such affairs more reliably than the Underworld.
And Lv Taibai wasn’t alone; nearly every faction’s cultivators shared this sentiment to some degree.
They wondered what further schemes the Underworld might unleash.
In the Western Regions Buddha Land, numerous Buddhist Monks donning bamboo hats watched with shifting expressions.
The Wushen Mountain’s Witch God Cultivators, draped in bamboo hats and dark robes, regarded the scene with profound gazes.
Indeed, the assembly of powerhouses at Qi Tian City this time was vast. A joint assault could very well shatter the Demon Race’s grip and siege on Qi Tian City.
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable’s deliberate city-entry rule might have aimed precisely at that.
Yet with this rule in play now...
Already, two Top Demon Kings had fallen.
The Heavenly Crane Demon God appeared profoundly irritated but couldn’t casually ignore the regulation imposed by the Black Bull Demon God Venerable.
Thus, he focused his intent, calling forth his final Top Demon King subordinate.
It manifested as a burly humanoid brute, the Black Bear Demon King, bare-chested and gripping a dark axe, his eyes savage and ruthless.
"Black Bear Demon King, aid me in guarding the defenses."
The Heavenly Crane Demon God intoned gravely.
But right after uttering those words, his attention abruptly turned, fixing on the lively Da Chuan area where crowds of intrigued Jianghu Guests had converged.
