As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1726: Slaying One Demon God Brings Boundless Riches; Of the Ten Demon Gods in Ink, the Second Is a Black Ox

Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
In a cataclysmic clash before Qi Tian City, the Netherworld Ox Demon unleashes a scorching Qilin punch that freezes space and shatters the void, colliding fiercely with the Heavenly Crane Demon God's barrage of sword lights. The explosive impact shakes the city, scatters mists, and ignites the surroundings, drawing awed reactions from observers like Lv Taibai and the excited Xi Xi. As blood rain signals the onset of Divine Tribulation, the Netherworld Ox Demon slays the Heavenly Crane Demon God, claiming its twisted corpse as a trophy despite the frantic shouts of the Black Bull Demon God Venerable. Surging demon energy erupts within Qi Tian City, pillars of power rising like heavenly supports.

The boundless demonic energy erupted violently, blending with the enigmatic mist of the Strange Que, turning Qi Tian City and the nearby skies into an ocean of demonic power!

Swish, swish——

A heavy downpour of blood rained down, echoing the sorrowful cries of the Heavenly Crane Demon God, filling the space between heaven and earth with a savage and hopeless roar.

Bang, bang——

At the south and north entrances of Qi Tian City, protected by demon gods equal in level to the Heavenly Crane Demon God, their actual forms emerged, gazing in disbelief.

The Jade Horned Rhinoceros Demon God and the Golden Winged Demon God, their demonic auras piercing the heavens, felt deep shock within.

Yet the real rage, stirring up waves of demonic energy, came from that Black Bull Demon God Venerable!

The massive black bull's head seemed to emerge from within Qi Tian City, descending with an overwhelmingly frightening force, its eyes as large as houses fixed sharply on the golden silhouette donning the Cute Bull Mask.

"I commanded you to halt—do you not comprehend?!"

The ferocious presence of the Black Bull Demon God Venerable burst forth relentlessly, a stark contrast to its earlier friendly demeanor.

The chilling wave of murderous intent surged forth!

The fearsome Heaven and Earth Soul, belonging to the Realm of Two Disasters, caused the void to groan in agony, and just a glance from it threatened to shatter everything.

This was the might wielded by experts who had survived Two Calamities Divine Tribulations; their ability to destroy the fabric of heaven and earth surpassed that of those in the One Disaster Realm.

They could rip apart the void with far greater ease.

Nevertheless, Li Che, masked as the Bull Demon, felt little worry in his mind; he regarded the Black Bull Demon God Venerable steadily and spoke evenly: "If this Heavenly Crane Demon God had slain me, would you have ordered it to cease?"

"You never decreed that gatekeepers must refrain from killing, or that challengers are forbidden to perish. Given that, why should I not slay a demon god?"

"If you cannot tolerate the consequences, then abandon such regulations and allow the numerous cultivators to unite against the demons inside Qi Tian City."

Li Che remained composed inwardly, unafraid of the two-disaster level intimidation from the Black Bull Demon God Venerable.

For him, no form of pressure could intimidate; thanks to his Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart, he possessed the means to block any such force.

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable's murderous intent burned fiercely, nearly solidifying into reality.

Yet, unexpectedly for Li Che.

This Demon God Venerable suddenly grew serene, regaining tranquility amid the fury and grief over a fallen demon god.

The vast demonic energy receded, the killing intent concealed.

The turbulent and warped demonic power settled into stillness, reverting to the tranquil bearing of the Black Bull Demon God Venerable.

"Well done—you are permitted to enter Qi Tian City."

A deep, neutral tone issued from the Black Bull Demon God Venerable, devoid of joy or wrath.

Li Che straightened the Bull Demon Mask upon his face, and the Mo City Fengdu suspended in the sky vanished.

Still, his heart involuntarily clenched.

This Black Bull Demon God Venerable... just what plot is being woven?

To swallow such deep resentment?

The Heavenly Crane Demon God must surely rank as a key follower beneath the Black Bull Demon God Venerable, vital to the Ten Thousand Rivers.

With a demon god slain, yet the Black Bull Demon God Venerable endured the grudge.

Li Che suspected this Demon God Venerable harbored some hidden motive...

Unusual events always hid peculiarities.

However, Li Che had not yet uncovered the actual intentions of this Black Bull Demon God Venerable.

One fact Li Che could confirm, though.

The enmity between him and this Demon God Venerable was now firmly forged.

The Bull Demon's colossal frame, resembling a towering mountain, shed its golden hue, cloaked in a dark robe, and stepped into Qi Tian City amid the stares from within and beyond its walls.

The immense Qi Tian City dwarfed and outshone Qianyuan Taoist City in scale, undoubtedly the grandest metropolis Li Che had witnessed.

Even the Divine Capital of Great Vista paled in comparison.

Although combining all Nine Cities of the Divine Capital might match Qi Tian City's size.

Whish, whish, whish——

Li Che's dark robe billowed in the wind, his gaze mysterious beneath the Bull Demon Mask, as a dark breeze carried him forward.

Soon after, the Black Bull Demon God Venerable, formed from demonic energy, materialized in front of Li Che; its form now averaged-sized, merely a demonic energy projection.

Only, this projection appeared rather rough, easily detectable, unlike Li Che's Painting Immortal Avatar, which withstood any examination without flaw.

"Netherworld Ox Demon..."

A icy tone emanated from the Black Bull Demon God Venerable.

Li Che shifted his Bull Demon Mask, golden mist swirling in his eyes as he eyed the Black Bull Demon God Venerable: "Does the Demon God Venerable plan to attack outright?"

"No..."

"I am here to propose a transaction with you."

The Demon God Venerable uttered gravely.

"What sort of transaction?" Li Che narrowed his gaze.

"Hand over the Heavenly Crane's remains—state your terms..."

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable declared.

Hearing this, Li Che paused in surprise; he had anticipated the Black Bull Demon God Venerable might turn hostile, drawing him into Qi Tian City to eliminate him.

Li Che, courageous and assured, relied on Mo City and Flying Thunder Move, thus deciding to venture inside.

Should the Black Bull Demon God Venerable indeed break ties once he entered.

Then the very rules established by the Demon God Venerable would crumble, prompting the human cultivators beyond Qi Tian City to band together for assault.

Though, deep down, Li Che favored the human cultivators launching an offensive to dismantle the demon forces in Qi Tian City, fostering greater turmoil.

And turmoil bred abundant chances.

But presently, it appeared the Black Bull Demon God Venerable had withstood the loss of a demon god and sought to avoid disorder.

Precisely what scheme was afoot?

Li Che remained unable to pierce the intentions of this Demon God Venerable.
