As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1766: All Gods Arrive to Guard the Equaling Heaven, Heart Monkey Fire Refines Dragon Elephant Immortal Seed to Major Accomplishment

He commanded the Night Bat Demon God to scour the ruins of Equal Heaven Temple and salvage every treasure left behind.

Simultaneously, he made his way toward the heart of the Inner City, racing against the clock to claim the Ruyi Golden Cudgel!

"As you command, my lord." The Night Bat Demon God replied, bowing with profound subservience.

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable felt immense satisfaction at the Night Bat Demon God's deference. Having placed his absolute trust in this confidant, he was certain the Night Bat would thoroughly plunder all the artifacts abandoned by Equal Heaven Temple.

Such was the very reason the Black Bull Demon God Venerable had chosen to bring the Night Bat Demon God along.

Relaying an instruction similar to Li Che's and bestowing his heavy mandate, the Black Bull Demon God Venerable strode forward, clutching the Sea-crossing Purple Gold Beam—a weapon rumored to resonate with the Ruyi Golden Cudgel—as he dashed toward the Inner City's depths.

"Those bald monks from the Western Regions Buddha Land, the reclusive ancestor of the Great Vista, and the current leader of the First Divine Sect of the Great Vista, along with the Grandmaster of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect..."

"Their sights are clearly set on the Qitian Temple!"

"The prize they seek... must be the Great Saint’s remains!"

Bang—

A crushing footfall shook the earth, sending a ripple of invisible force outward.

Twisted demon energy pulsed across the face of the Black Bull Demon God Venerable, and his eyes glinted with a malevolent, bloody hue.

Li Che had assumed the powerful figures from these factions were unaware that the corpse of the Qitian Temple God lay within that enigmatic sanctuary.

In reality, the masters of the Western Regions Buddha Land, Ten Thousand Rivers, Wushen Mountain, and the Da Jing Imperial Court were fully cognizant of the secrets held inside the mysterious temple.

They did not merely covet the Hun Yuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel of the Three Pure Ranks.

Their hunger extended to the legendary corpse of the Qitian Temple God—the mortal remains of the Great Saint!

That is a genuine cadaver befitting the Temple God alone!

...

...

In the Qitian Inner City, the river winding through the urban core appeared to churn and boil.

Beside the white jade balustrades lining the bank.

A Buddhist monk, robes billowing and footwear stained with crimson dust, stood as a pilgrim who had crossed thousands of miles to arrive with pure devotion.

His eyebrows rose, the cicada pattern upon them glowing like embers.

He peered toward the noble palace, enveloped by an aura of mystery, divinity, Dao Yun, and lingering death qi.

His gaze fixed upon the towering silhouette of the Hun Yuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel.

The monk pressed his palms together, offered a slight bow, and whispered the name of the Buddha.

"Amitabha Buddha..."

"Sheng Fu, this insignificant monk has journeyed here to lead you home."

In an instant, the air behind the monk surged as divinity, qi-blood, and the light of Buddha merged into a Golden Cicada, its translucent wings vibrating rapidly to produce a piercing insect shriek!

It sounded as if the summer stillness was being torn apart and the buried silence of the Qitian Inner City shattered.

...

...

Dense, intertwined ribbons of death qi and corpse qi, resembling black serpents, began to corrode the white jade ground.

Sizzling sounds filled the air as pits formed, only to be smoothed over by the constant replenishment of the corruption.

A figure cloaked in black moved with a crooked, distorted gait.

The bloated individual cast back his hood, revealing a twisted and grotesque face consumed by mania and fervor.

Wei Yuan stared intently toward the Qitian Temple...

"Such dense, untainted, and supreme death qi and corpse qi..."

"Hahaha... The leader was right, Qitian is truly perished, and the Great Saint’s remains have revealed themselves!"

"If the Great Saint’s remains were to be refined by my hand..."

"What soul would dare challenge my Dao?!"

...

...

Rumble—

The space of Dao Tribulation echoed with perpetual thunder.

Waves of calamity surged forward, shifting shape from dragon to elephant, while tribulation winds sliced through space like paper and water currents roared to quench the soul.

Li Che drifted within the Dao Tribulation void.

He floated in meditation, legs crossed.

The Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame crashed down upon him, threatening to incinerate and shatter his physical form.

Previously, Li Che could only survive for a single breath using his Martial Immortal Golden Body before being consumed by the flames.

Even so, each incineration allowed him to capture a fragment of the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame!

While minuscule, this growth was vital for Li Che, representing an accumulation that would eventually coalesce into formidable tribulation power.

Yet today, a sound like a war drum reverberated deep within his chest.

It was the Heart Monkey Fire awakening, expanding rapidly from his heart to encompass his entire frame.

Finally, he was entirely engulfed.

"Roar—!"

"Hiss—!"

The Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame seemed drawn to the Heart Monkey Fire, surging violently toward Li Che.

Soon, a purple Divine Dragon and a purple Demon Elephant materialized above his head!

The Divine Dragon whipped its tail at Li Che with lethal force.

The Demon Elephant reared its forelegs, its trunk lashing out with the weight of a thousand tons!

It brought its feet down with a crushing force.

Boom——!!!

The Heart Monkey Fire ignited in Li Che’s chest, manifesting as a golden shield of flame that protected his entire body.

It seemed to harmonize perfectly with his Martial Immortal Golden Body.

Surprisingly, it successfully deflected the relentless onslaught of the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame!

Purple fire erupted, transmuting into a cataclysmic force that scorched the heavens and fractured the earth. The Primordial Sky-cutting Storm and Primordial Heart Cleansing Stream, two other tribulation forces, vanished, leaving the Tao Tribulation space solely to the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame!

Thud thud thud——

Impacts rained down one after another!

Under the barrage, Li Che’s Martial Immortal Golden Body groaned under the strain, his very bones threatening to fracture, his skin on the verge of rupture, and his golden blood vaporizing.

Yet, empowered by the Heart Monkey Fire, he endured every blow.

The Heart Monkey flared, leaping into action, clenching its five fingers as if gripping a flaming Treasure Stick. It swung through the air, creating a thousand layers of staff shadows that crashed fearlessly against the Divine Dragon and Demon Elephant!

Li Che’s eyes snapped open.

In the next moment, his form was ablaze with Heart Monkey Fire as he confronted the swarming Primordial Dragon Elephant Flames.

He clenched his fists, his muscles and bones popping like roasting beans.

He thrust his fist horizontally, continuing the practice of Immortal Seed Martial Arts within the Tao Tribulation space!

Qilin Suppression Seal!

The Qilin Fist Seal struck out, sending waves of flame surging toward the sky!

The fury was absolute!

What had once been a Minor Accomplishment of the Qilin Suppression Seal now achieved a perfect synthesis with the Primordial Dragon Elephant Fire Tribulation.

Li Che’s entire body resonated in unity, channeling power as if blessed by the heavens themselves.

Behind him, the Heart Fire burned, forming the shape of a Divine Monkey standing defiantly against the tribulation!

Boom boom boom——

Time lost all meaning!

Boom——

Ultimately, the Heart Fire shield shattered and the Heart Monkey Fire flickered out, while Li Che’s shimmering Martial Immortal Golden Body disintegrated under the final Dragon Elephant Flame assault.

Qitian Inner City.

Inside the palace.

Li Che suddenly opened his eyes, and the room was instantly saturated with a majestic, scorching qi-blood!

His brow twitched.

The Martial Immortal Golden Body activated, casting a brilliant radiance.

A screen of light materialized before him.

[Dragon Elephant Furnace: Martial Immortal Golden Body (20%)]

[Tao Tribulation: Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame (30%)]

His Martial Immortal Golden Body had seen a 5% gain, but the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame’s enhancement far exceeded his wildest expectations.

It had surged from 4% all the way to 30%!

The synergy provided by the Heart Monkey Fire had proven instrumental!

Furthermore, the boost in Tao Tribulation power provided a direct feedback that leveled up his Martial Cultivation!

Boom——!!!

Li Che slowly rose to his feet!

An aura as vast as the mountains and seas overflowed from him.

A faint fissure seemed to appear upon his forehead, where a Golden Heavenly Gate vaguely shimmered into existence!

He clenched his fist and thrust it forward!

A golden light exploded instantly.

The void grew rigid as a terrifying Qilin appeared at Li Che’s back, an omen of majesty radiating brilliant golden light.

A sharp, piercing cry echoed, as if the Qilin itself were dancing in the mortal realm, shrouded in an aura of pure destruction!

Immortal Seed, Qilin Suppression Seal!

Major Accomplishment!

Li Che’s eyes burned with auspicious light as he laid the Equal to Heaven's mask across his visage.

The Heaven and Earth chessboard shot into the sky, unfolding boundlessly.

Through the board, Li Che fixed his gaze upon the Second Disaster Black Bull Demon God Venerable, who was rampaging through the Inner City with the Sea-crossing Purple Gold Beam...

Beneath the mask, his lips curved into a faint smile.

The Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod slid into his grip.

A killing intent, sharp and boundless, erupted toward the heavens!

Swathed in his billowing black robe, he vanished into the fray!
