As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1745: In the Underworld, I Heard Your Voice; Slaying One Demon God per Day, Qitian Recovery [Monthly Ticket]
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
From the Night Bat Demon God's account, the demonic powers in the human realm's Ten Thousand Rivers aren't feeble at all.
Thus, should the Black Bull Demon God Venerable notice something unusual and trigger that summoning art to call forth additional Demon God Venerables, the crisis might intensify dramatically.
Yet for Li Che at present, the danger from a One Disaster One Tribulation Realm demon god pales compared to before.
Provided he lures them into the Heaven and Earth chessboard, where the Sea Flipping Nine Infants, armed with Ancient Yin Xuan's toxic grasp, lie in ambush to swiftly overpower them. Once subdued, Li Che can proceed with Soul Capturing.
Truthfully, precisely during that instant of demon energy depletion, in that fleeting interval, Li Che can deploy the Demon Immortal Nine Transformations divine ability to shift into a demon form, unleashing demon energy to replenish the shortfall.
In Qi Tian City, countless grand residences abound.
These were once the opulent homes of nobility at the city's height.
Today, they've been seized by successive demon gods.
The Heaven and Earth chessboard floats overhead in concealment, undetectable to the eye. Only if gazing skyward would Li Che alone perceive its faint outline.
The Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit within his chest pulsed with vigor.
Ever since stepping into Qi Tian City, Li Che had ramped up his use of the Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit, pushing the Heaven and Earth chessboard to its utmost efficiency.
A brief gleam darted across his vision.
[Dao Fruit: Chess Saint (lv6, 66%)]
The rigorous activity over recent days had truly paid off, markedly boosting the Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit's progress.
In his mind, he eagerly anticipated the might of the Chess Saint’s Dao Tribulation.
Following the trials of water, fire, and wind, what form would the next Dao Tribulation take?
Li Che reined in his musings, his form slipping through the shadows as if fusing with the wild demon energy.
His first aims are a pair of One Disaster One Tribulation Realm demon gods. Li Che intends to proceed steadily, knowing one can't devour a massive feast in a single gulp.
The moment for Qi Tian City's Inner City to unlock approaches swiftly.
Li Che remains unaware of the exact timing, so he must endeavor to claim all twelve demon gods prior to the Inner City’s inheritance site's activation.
At the moment, Xi Xi remains secure in the inn overseen by the boss, shielded by both the boss and Lord Dog, without any peril.
Li Che can thus
Shadows churned fiercely, demon energy billowing wildly.
A figure in black robes melted seamlessly into the gloom, gliding without a sound.
...
...
Inside one such residence, endless demon energies whirled like a maelstrom.
It felt as though some colossal, horrifying entity breathed deeply within, making the demon energy heave and ebb with thunderous growls.
Beyond the residence.
Li Che materialized without a whisper, donning the Bull Demon Mask.
Squads of lesser demons patrolled the grounds, most ranking as demon generals, on par with human Great Master Realm cultivators.
Confronting these demon generals now came effortlessly to Li Che, whom he could dispatch with ease.
Positioned at the residence's gateway, Li Che held back from advancing immediately, instead directing his sight past the estate toward Qi Tian City's soaring inner walls.
These formed Qi Tian City's inner barriers, akin to an impregnable iron bastion, severing the outer districts from all else.
From the Inner City emanated a potent suppressive aura, steadily projecting outward and subtly warping the void.
There lay the Three Pure Ones Mysterious Temple, housing the Fighting Prison Lotus Demon Saint and the Qi Tian Mysterious Temple.
Perceiving the mounting density of divinity and sacred aura, Li Che realized the Qi Tian City's legacy might soon awaken.
Truly, its activation time stayed unpredictable.
"I must hasten my pace."
With that declaration.
Li Che flung the broad sleeves of his black robe over his shoulder and strode ahead, striding past the demon generals at the residence's entrance without fear.
Even brushing directly before them, by invoking the Slumbering Dragon Elephant and the Heaven and Earth chessboard's sensory veil, he appeared to dissolve into nothingness, utterly undetectable.
Deep within the residence, alongside the demon god's aura, lurked two elite demon kings and three ordinary demon kings.
Legend has it that each demon god commands forces of top demon kings and demon kings alike. This stands as the norm for the demon clans in the Ten Thousand Rivers.
Much as a demon king oversees demon generals, and demon generals command lesser demons, and so forth...
Structure holds utmost significance for the Ten Thousand Rivers' demon race.
This particular One Disaster One Tribulation Realm demon god is the Plum Blossom Demon God, whose original shape is a plum blossom deer. Per the Night Bat's tale, though a plum blossom deer, the Plum Blossom Demon God proves remarkably savage and delights in devouring fresh blood.
Demon energy thundered and swelled, laced with a thick, cloying blood aroma.
A youth bearing antlers upon his head sat in meditation, a vivid crimson demon core hovering before him, entwined in myriad bloody strands resembling crackling lightning, exploding with relentless force.
He was tempering his demon core, whose vital role even for a demon god needed no emphasis. The Power of the Witch Demon Calamity itself demanded the demon core's endurance.
The plum blossom-embroidered robe draping his frame billowed wildly.
Seated with creased brows, a sudden unease welled up unbidden in the Plum Blossom Demon God’s core.
As a deer demon, he possessed an innate acuity for peril.
For prior to gaining sentience, survival hinged on vigilance against lurking hunters in the thick woods.
"There is a killing intent..."
The Plum Blossom Demon God's eyes snapped open, his lips curling back to expose a pair of keen fangs.
A formidable Heaven and Earth Soul erupted forth abruptly.
Yet his face twisted in shock.
The murderous aura proved overwhelmingly fierce, flooding in from every angle, akin to a violent surge crashing along the Grand Canal!)
