As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1729: Unprecedented Dual Dao Fruits and Four Moltings, Hand-Rubbed Nuclear Blast in the Underworld, Trading Bird Gun for Cannon
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
The Immortal Seed Qilin Suppression Seal has now been cultivated by Li Che to the stage of Minor Accomplishment.
Pushing beyond this point grows ever more challenging.
Yet, one Immortal Seed alone won't suffice. Li Che aims to convert every one of the Eight Strange Sect Divine Seeds into Eight Wonders Gate Immortal Seeds, while also progressing in his other martial arts.
Rumble——
Faintly, as his thoughts stir just a bit, additional tribulation thunders are still provoked.
This represents the fury of the Heaven and Earth Will invoked through the Martial Arts Heaven Opening Sect.
Li Che cast a look toward the courtyard.
Rising to his feet, his black robe billowed around him, the Bull Demon Mask staying firmly in place on his face.
He advanced, enveloped by swirling layers of ink-like mists, and as Li Che pressed on, a Bull Demon clad in a Cute Bull Mask lingered at his starting position.
This was the Painting Immortal Avatar known as Bull Demon.
Gripping a Thunder Chess Piece between his five fingers, Li Che departed, leaving behind solely the Bull Demon along with the rest of the Painting Immortal Avatars in the courtyard, while he himself disappeared entirely.
Qi Tian City Outer City, beyond the courtyard.
The void subtly split apart, a black-robed figure appeared to dangle inverted from the emptiness, his gaze profound and boundless, like endless rings spinning within.
"At last, I've located it... this underworld... it truly possesses enigmatic techniques."
"But it cannot evade the ultrasonic detection of my Night Bat Demon God!"
Earlier, during his probe of the small courtyard, he sensed the entire area shrouded in a hazy energy, his ultrasonic senses endlessly whirling through a vast labyrinth.
Now, finally, a feeling of sharpness and lucidity washed over him.
He even caught sight within the courtyard of Bull Demon, Niu Yi, Niu Er, and Niu Sansi, all seated in meditation and practicing their cultivation.
"Heh heh heh——"
The Night Bat Demon God let out a low, sinister chuckle as the rift in the void sealed shut completely.
Merely an unseen, clear ripple kept expanding outward.
Persistently monitoring the events unfolding in the courtyard.
...
...
Whispering wind——
Beyond Qi Tian City.
Demonic energy surged wildly toward the heavens, rains of blood laden with the Demon God's anguished cries cascading ferociously from the sky.
An overwhelming, choking pressure extended without end.
Li Che departed the courtyard and initially went back to Xi Xi's location.
The young girl fluttered her wide eyes, gazing with excitement at the relentless clashes erupting before Qi Tian City, her cheeks glowing red as she cried out in exhilaration.
The skirmishes right outside Qi Tian City burned with incredible intensity, after all.
Even the lowliest combatants were elite peak demon kings, though Xi Xi eagerly awaited clashes among Divine Tribulation level powerhouses.
Such grand spectacles were seldom witnessed in everyday life.
Inherently fierce by nature, Xi Xi yearned to witness this kind of showdown.
Moreover, the demise of the Heavenly Crane Demon God appeared to severely dent the spirits of the numerous demon race powerhouses controlling Qi Tian City.
The Sword Antelope Demon God stepped in for the slain Heavenly Crane Demon God, securing the Qi Tian West Gate.
Still, up to this moment, no Divine Tribulation Realm experts had issued challenges; instead, it was chiefly top-level peak and Great God tier cultivators taking on the elite demon kings serving under the Sword Antelope Demon God.
Because Li Che had eliminated a batch of demon kings, the ones aligned with the Sword Antelope Demon God proved somewhat inferior to those once under the Heavenly Crane Demon God.
In a few heated battles, certain top-level peaks managed to overcome demon kings and breach into Qi Tian City.
Relative to the Underworld's unveiling, these intrusions by top-level peaks into Qi Tian City ignited even greater fervor among the rest.
Duels grew more passionate, with challengers now targeting even the South Gate and North Gate of Qi Tian City.
That said, these duels carried inherent dangers; just like how the Netherworld Ox Demon felled a Demon God, even as the demons in Qi Tian City waned in vigor, their murderous resolve intensified.
In the midst of these clashes, some cultivators fell to them, their blood and flesh consumed raw, heightening the already taut standoff between the opposing sides.
Having stayed with Xi Xi for some time, Li Che chose to teleport elsewhere.
Upon his return, he hovered above the Grand Canal in Jiangnan Dao.
Over the waterway, Li Che assumed a cross-legged position, the waters below beginning to roil, waves surging as a fearsome Jiao Long thrashed beneath, whipping up the currents!
In the skies overhead, thunder boomed without cease, tangled bolts of lightning nearly lighting up the whole vault of heaven, dispelling the weight of the dark clouds.
Li Che's black robe, adorned with golden lotus embroidery, whipped fiercely in the gale, his form resembling one perched cross-legged on a solitary bit of floating weed, bobbing along with the river's swells.
Boom——!!!
Abruptly, a bolt of lightning ripped through, shattering the clouds with a thunderous roar, coalescing into a thunderous shape laced with horrifying Qi Blood Power, slamming down with immense force.
Li Che regarded this Qi Blood-infused thunder with mild surprise.
But his shock didn't persist, as the Dao Fruit of the Lei-Ci Dao Body within his torso pulsed wildly.
This Dao Fruit had advanced to lv5, matured to 95%, needing only a spark to evolve.
With the Heaven Gate now unlocked, the channeled Heavenly Thunder would finalize this evolution.
Li Che raised his gaze, observing the plunging Thunder Dragon gain vivid realism from the Qi Blood's weaving.
Hum—bang——
A resonant hum echoed, Li Che's form abruptly gleamed in brilliant gold, his golden locks thrashing in the wind, his presence surging upward.
Beneath him, the river surface caved in explosively.
He soared skyward, clashing directly with the Thunder Dragon!
Completing the tribulation crossing passed without fanfare; bolstered by his Martial Immortal Golden Body, the Heavenly Tribulation posed no threat whatsoever to him.
