As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1738: The Recruitment Plan for 12 Demon Gods, Long Time No See Lord Dog in Qi Tian City

Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
Li Che captured the soul of the defeated Night Bat Demon God, turning him into a loyal spy to infiltrate the ranks of the Black Bull Demon God Venerable. Gu Yinxuan reported significant progress on refining the Thousand Bone Centipede Powder after enduring numerous experimental deaths, while Li Che absorbed the demon core to bolster his Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Dao Fruit. Night Bat Demon God revealed the formidable structure of the Demon Race in the human world, boasting two Demon God Supremes, six Venerables, and a vast number of Demon Gods, bolstered by alliances with the Deceit Demon Cave.

"The [Deceit Demon Cave] is indeed brimming with Demon God Supremes from the All Gods Camp, maybe even genuine deities..."

In a grave tone, the Night Bat Demon God spoke, now that he had sided with the Underworld camp, his voice carried a weighty edge.

"Regrettably, the Demon Race maintains a strict hierarchy, so I haven’t laid eyes on the Supremes of the Ten Thousand Rivers, yet I’ve heard the Demon God Venerable speak of the Divine Tide surging forth, heralding the era of great contention, where powerful entities will sprout up like bamboo after a downpour, bringing turmoil to the human realm!"

Continued the Night Bat Demon God.

Divine Tide...

A shiver ran through Li Che’s heart; this wasn’t the initial occasion he’d encountered mentions of the Divine Tide.

Still, his knowledge regarding this so-called Divine Tide remained limited.

Regarding the era of great contention that the Night Bat referenced, Li Che certainly felt a deep intuitive connection.

As the era of great contention approaches, cultivators mired in bottlenecks will opt for Realm Breakthroughs, and such advancements will grow simpler, much like how Lv Taibai and Ji Moli both ascended to the Divine Tribulation.

Along with the likes of the Divine Capital’s Temple Supervisor Governor, Ye Pengju, and more...

The established Great God List and the unparalleled beings atop the Heavenly Gate are all advancing, igniting their rivalries.

Once he’d inquired about additional matters from the Night Bat, Li Che permitted the Night Bat Demon God to depart, since reports to the Big Black Bull were due every Three Incense Sticks, and any delay could spark the Big Black Bull’s doubts.

"Only twelve Demon Gods remain..."

Li Che’s gaze shimmered faintly, his fingers drumming softly, and in the following instant, a subtle smile crept across his lips.

Qi Tian City splits into Inner and Outer sections, the Inner City serving as the inheritance hub, which remains sealed, barring even the Demon Race from access.

"Merely half a month away from the opening of Qi Tian Inner City, when the Temple God Resonance will unfold, and those twelve Demon Gods... Might I manage to ensnare them all prior to the Inner City’s unveiling?"

To subdue them truly means employing Soul Capturing.

From Li Che’s standpoint, his method of Soul Capturing represented the ultimate form of domination.

With a thunderous roar, Mo Yu cascaded heavily, slamming into the earth and bursting outward in sprays.

Yet Li Che appeared to generate an unseen barrier encircling himself, repelling myriad raindrops and forming a space devoid of moisture like a vacuum.

"The challenge seems steep, yet attempting it isn’t out of reach..."

Envisioning the Black Bull Demon God Venerable issuing a mere order only to suffer betrayal from the twelve Demon Gods, riddled like a sieve, struck him as oddly amusing.

"First off, I must gauge the exact power levels of these twelve Demon Gods, whether First Disaster One Tribulation, First Disaster Second Rank... or even those at One Disaster Three Tribulations Realm..."

"Provided none reach the Second Calamity tier among the Demon Gods... they’re all within my grasp." Li Che mused.

Furthermore, a daring scheme lingered in Li Che’s mind.

These days, his outlook had expanded considerably; he realized the real peril to his daughter stemmed not from the human world’s Demon Race, but from the Supremes or perhaps actual deities hailing from the Strange Que’s Deceit Demon Cave!

Hence, Li Che’s efforts to bring numerous Demon Race members under his control could prove a vital defense against the Deceit Demon Cave down the line.

Buzz—

A mere flicker of intent.

Li Che departed from Mo City.

His whole form swiftly reappeared in the courtyard of Qi Tian City.

Rising gradually, his dark, lustrous locks whipped about like streaks of ebony lightning, producing sharp crackles in the air, while his sturdy frame nearly strained against his garments, layers of muscle rippling ceaselessly.

Beneath the Bull Demon Mask, his eyes blazed with golden fire.

"Twelve Demon Gods, rejoice... for you are now encircled by me."

...

...

The pursuit of the twelve Demon Gods forms an ambitious scheme.

Additionally, executing it demands secrecy from the Black Bull Demon God Venerable’s notice, presenting a formidable challenge.

To begin with, unlike the Night Bat Demon God, not every Demon God suppresses their aura and demon energy for monitoring purposes, lurking unseen in the void, which creates an exploitable weakness.

Directly pulled into Mo City’s Fengdu by Li Che, they remained oblivious.

The remaining Demon Gods continually radiate fearsome demon energy, so drawing them into Fengdu would inevitably cause their energies to vanish.

Qi Tian City stands shrouded in vast, misty demon energy, an effect not attainable by the Black Bull Demon God Venerable in isolation; it results from the combined power of the fourteen Demon Gods serving under him.

Following the demise of the Heavenly Crane Demon God and the Night Bat Demon God, the twelve remaining Demon Gods sustain Qi Tian City’s demon energy.

Li Che refrained from hasty action, proceeding as per routine.

Beyond Qi Tian City’s boundaries.

Having observed for several days, Lv Qiankun finally struck.

Leveraging his First Disaster Second Tribulations Realm cultivation, he swiftly overcame the Sword Antelope Demon God who guarded the entrance, while Fang Hanshu, despite his Divine Tribulation Cultivation, masked his presence adeptly, posing as an elite Great God, and thus slipped into the city effortlessly.

Solely Lv Taibai stayed behind.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Blasts of wind stirred by demon energy roared without cease.

Lv Taibai’s silver tresses danced wildly, the Taibai Sword concealed in his sleeve vibrated in harmony, as he regarded Li Che and the Xi Xi he cradled.

"I’m ready to advance now."

Declared Lv Taibai.

"Will you bring Xi Xi and the rest inside Qi Tian City?"

Lv Taibai’s inquiring eyes shifted toward Li Che.

Concerning Li Che’s capability to breach the city, Lv Taibai held no concerns; Li Che possessed far too many secret strengths.

"We should head in; how could we abandon the child and others out here? The perils outside are far greater. Once inside, they needn’t join the Temple God Resonance—just absorbing some knowledge will suffice."

Li Che’s Mo Shan robes billowed, a soft smile gracing his features.

At these words, Lv Taibai agreed with a nod, gently patting Xi Xi’s head: "Your master is coming along!"

In the instant that followed, the Taibai Sword within his sleeve chimed brilliantly, unleashing a brilliant sword glow, and hurtled toward the Sword Antelope Demon God atop the West City walls.

Lv Taibai had attained the Divine Tribulation via the Destructive God Wind as his Dao Position, rendering his battle prowess extraordinary.
