As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1768: Surviving Thousands of Years for This Day to Protect the Equaling Heaven, Breaking Free to Become the Temple Guardian Curse Corpse King...

"Among my current Immortal Seed Martial Arts—[Qilin Suppression Seal], [Heavenly Stepping], [Thousand Mountains Solo Sky-cutting Blade], and [Heavenly Gang Immortal Martial 72 Changes]—one has reached Major Accomplishment, one is at Minor Accomplishment, one is only at the entry level, and the last remains uncultivated..."

"Finally, the dilemma concerning the four Qimen Immortal Seeds is resolved..."

Li Che released a long, steady breath.

Regrettably, he lacked the time to focus on guiding the Divine Seed at this moment. Simply reaching Minor Accomplishment in the Heavenly Stepping technique was a pleasant enough surprise during his brief window of cultivation.

It could be said that Li Che had stumbled upon the Qitian Inheritance by chance.

With a single thought, he departed from Mo City Fengdu.

Upon his exit, he materialized directly within the Supreme Palace of the Qitian Inner City.

Deep within his chest, the Dao Fruit of the [Dragon Elephant Vajra] thrummed. Harnessing the residual strength of the Slumbering Dragon Elephant, he effectively vanished, as though he had been scrubbed from the tapestry of heaven and earth.

He felt as if he had become an invisible phantom, existing entirely within the void.

"Obstacles in the Qitian Outer City that once proved difficult are now trivial to handle..."

"There are four Second Calamities and Three Tribulations Demon Gods remaining... Perfect. I shall dispatch all of you to the underworld."

Truthfully, had he still been in the Qitian Outer City, Li Che would have remained cautious, wary of the Demon Race’s hidden reserves of demon energy and fearful of alerting the Big Black Bull. However, having reached the Qitian Inner City, the circumstances favored him completely, allowing him to act with unbridled freedom.

Sporting the Equal to Heaven’s Face, he was emboldened and entirely unrestrained!

...

...

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The Qitian Inner City remained vast and sprawling. Luxurious, ornate palaces bloomed like stone flowers across the white jade landscape, while the Inner City River wound its way toward the horizon like the gnarled trunk of an ancient tree.

Boom—

Terrifying demon energy surged and rampaged. The Green Lion Demon God, a towering monolith of matted fur, stalked across the white jade ground like a living mountain.

The earth groaned and trembled beneath every heavy footfall.

Having finally shaken off the relentless temple guardian cursed corpses that had hounded it, the demon felt a rare sense of relief.

Even a Three Tribulations Demon God of the Green Lion’s caliber found its hackles rising when swarmed by so many fearless, mindless guardians.

The Green Lion Demon God’s eyes flickered with a dull intensity. As its mane fluttered in the wind, it stared toward the Qitian Temple—that majestic, gilded palace perched atop a hill at the far end of the inner city.

Its gaze was heavy with envy.

"If I could just claim the Qitian opportunity, I might finally transcend the First Calamity and attain the status of a Second Disaster Venerable!"

The Green Lion Demon God was consumed by jealousy. In the human realm’s Ten Thousand Rivers, where all demon clans converged, there were only six Two Calamities Demon God Venerables in existence.

This Green Lion did not serve the Black Bull Demon God Venerable; it answered to a different master and had been sent specifically to spy on the Black Bull’s movements.

The Green Lion’s eyes hardened with newfound resolve.

"A demon must have dreams. Without a dream, what is a demon but a salted fish?"

The Green Lion Demon God was a creature with ambitions.

It prepared to rush toward the Qitian Temple to seize its destiny.

Suddenly, as it lifted a massive claw, its fur bristled. An overwhelming sense of impending doom erupted from behind!

"What?!"

"Who goes there? Cowardly sneak attack!"

The Green Lion’s hackles stood on end as the chill of death draped over it like a frozen web.

Could there be something truly foul hiding in the Qitian Inner City?

Boom—!!!

Raging demon energy exploded, fusing with an overwhelming divine pressure that crashed forth like a tidal wave. The power of the One Disaster Three Tribulations manifested as a shimmering Disaster Wheel, unleashing its oppressive rank energy.

The enormous lion-paw swiped forward with enough force to shatter the fabric of space!

Suddenly, a golden-radiating staff flashed out, weaving a dense, impenetrable net of shadows. The Green Lion narrowed its eyes, realizing the shadows had coalesced into a colossal Immortal Furnace!

It felt as though it were trapped within that scorching vessel.

Inside the furnace, eight miniature suns erupted, blindingly bright and devastatingly hot.

The light was so intense the Green Lion could barely keep its eyes open; it felt as if it were staring into an inferno of endless flame.

Amidst that searing brilliance, the Green Lion finally spotted its assailant.

A slender, masked figure with the sharp features and thin lips of a monkey stood perched atop the Immortal Furnace.

The figure twisted a staff, the tip spinning with such kinetic violence that a massive vortex tore through reality. The Treasure Stick slammed into the furnace with a deafening, resonant toll.

Clang—

The sound mimicked the great bronze bell of a snowy mountain sanctuary, sending ripples of force cascading outward.

The furnace tilted and then detonated.

A flurry of stick shadows rained down, pummeling the Green Lion Demon God with unrelenting, frenzied speed.

"Roar—!!!"

The Green Lion bellowed in rage, channeling its terrifying power to resist, but its armored hide was shredded, leaving it soaked in its own black demon blood.

The sheer, crushing weight of the force behind those blows was nightmarish!

Boom—!

As it slammed its feet into the ground to stabilize, the Green Lion looked up, only to see a massive, dark portal dripping with death qi hovering directly above.

The structure descended, expanding until it filled the demon's field of vision, and then total darkness consumed all.
