As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1769: Surviving Millennia Only to Guard Equaling Heaven Today, Breaking Shackles to Become the Temple Guardian Curse Corpse King

Upon opening his eyes, the Green Lion Demon God realized he had materialized within the pitch-black city.

Ink-dark rain descended ceaselessly, only to be shredded by the roiling demonic energy surrounding him!

"Another one..."

"What a shame; no toxins, merely a puppet."

"Old Dragon Head, the task rests with you now."

An indistinct voice resonated through the air.

The Green Lion Demon God glanced upward, catching sight of a slender figure draped in the robes of an alchemist.

Massive quantities of demonic force surged as the Sea Flipping Nine Infants launched its assault!

Four craggy heads descended, smashing the Green Lion Demon God into a cavernous hole in the ground.

Vicious fangs sank deep!

Thick blood erupted in a crimson spray, while the surrounding demonic energy shuddered and roiled in agitation!

Inside the Qitian Inner City.

Li Che, wearing the Equal to Heaven’s Face, leaned his head to one side while clutching the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod, standing atop the Fengdu City tower.

He quietly assessed the turmoil unfolding within the Mo City of Fengdu.

"That is the first one."

...

...

Within the Qitian Inner City.

A palace gate swung open.

This structure once belonged to a Divine Tribulation Cultivator, housing several flasks of Three Pure Ranks elixirs. A graceful woman with a serpentine waist swayed her hips as she stepped out.

Joy radiated from her alluring countenance as her dainty fingers gripped the gleaming pill bottles.

"The haul is quite impressive..."

"No one remains to recall the events that transpired in the Inner City of the Equal Heaven Temple. Those fallen Great God Cultivators never had the chance to retrieve their treasures, and now they serve as easy spoils for us explorers."

The Spirit Water Demon God, a snake spirit by nature, possessed an innate allure. Her waist was barely a hand’s breadth wide, and she was clad in tight, green-scaled attire that accentuated her provocatively curved body.

Suddenly, she froze.

The Spirit Water Demon God narrowed her keen eyes, scanning the gateway. Her Heaven and Earth Soul projected outward, and demonic energy swirled in her wake.

Sensing the identity of the late arrival, however, her posture relaxed.

"Is that you, Brother Green Lion?"

She swayed toward him, greeting him with a coy smile.

Yet, the Green Lion Demon God’s gaze swept over her form with a greedy intensity that made the lady pout in feigned reproach before she stashed the elixirs into her Qiankun Space.

"Why such impatience, Brother Green Lion?"

She moved closer, her lithe body beginning to entwine with the massive frame of the Green Lion Demon God.

But then, her eyes widened in shock.

The Green Lion Demon God’s heavy paw had struck her chest with brutal force, shattering her defenses instantly.

Clutched within his paw was a pill dark as jade, which crumbled and unleashed a toxic mist that spread rapidly...

"Ah——!!!"

The Spirit Water Demon God shrieked.

The Green Lion Demon God, driven by greed and madness, growled, "Sister Lingshui, it is time to depart!"

He seized her by the throat with his fingers and slammed her downward, charging forward until both figures plunged into a sudden portal swirling with necrotic Qi.

The characters for 'Fengdu' glowed with the cold, pale light of death.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh——

Death Qi whistled in the wind.

The Divine Monkey, wielding his Treasure Stick, chuckled softly.

"The second one."

...

...

A quiet, invisible massacre unfolded throughout the Qitian Inner City.

The Heaven and Earth chessboard stretched across the horizon, blotting out the sun.

Li Che showed no pity for the Demon Race; they were inherently cruel, viewing the slaughter and consumption of humans as a mundane habit.

With two 'one disaster and three tribulations' Demon Gods now under his command, disposing of the remaining two grew significantly simpler.

The Green Lion Demon God teamed up with the Spirit Water Demon God. She utilized her wiles to seduce while he provided the killing blow—a partnership defined by poisonous strikes and violent efficiency.

Using nearly identical tactics, the final two Demon Gods of the same rank were silenced and thrust into the Mo City of Fengdu.

Splash, splash——

The ink-colored rain continued to fall as Li Che, concealed behind the Divine Monkey Mask, felt his Mo Shan cloak whip in the gale.

Before him stood the four Demon Gods, maintaining various stances of fervent submission.

Behind these four stood the hulking, lifeless remains of their true forms.

There lay the Green-faced Lion King the size of a hill, a green python resembling a pillar capable of encircling ten men, a colossal spider the size of a mound, and a giant clawed scorpion...

They were the Green Lion Demon God, Spirit Water Demon God, Nine-Eyed Demon God, and Giant Claw Demon God, respectively.

These four powerful entities regarded Li Che with deep respect.

Combined with the two Demon Gods of the second and first tribulation realms he had secretly eliminated back in the Outer City, he now commanded a total of nine Venerables. The inferior first-tribulation gatekeepers, such as the Sword Antelope Demon God, were no longer worth his concern; he did not even feel the need to execute them.

"This is sufficient."

"Enough to give that Big Black Bull a truly unpleasant surprise..."

Li Che observed his gathering of lieutenants with satisfaction, his cloak billowing in the darkness.

"My Lord."

Ancient Yinxuan, looking the part in his alchemist vestments, wore a triumphant grin. "My Lord, it is finished!"

"I have succeeded!"

"The Thousand Bone Centipede Powder, complete!"

It was the eighth-ranked poison from the Heavenly Poison Divine Pill Scripture—the Thousand Bone Centipede Powder!

Li Che’s eyes gleamed; as Gu Yinxuan had explained, this Eighth Heavenly Poison possessed the potency to overwhelm even a Second Calamity Realm Demon God Venerable!

"It is regrettable that the seventh-ranked poison, the [Golden Winged Thousand Bee Blood Honey], is far more difficult to synthesize... if crafted successfully, it would pose a grave threat to a Second Calamity Divine Tribulation Venerable!"

"I have spent years in seclusion, and Gu Yangxuan has dedicated himself to gathering the ingredients for my Heavenly Poison Pill Scripture. Nearly all materials are gathered, yet the refinement process remains agonizingly complex."

"Nevertheless, for my Lord’s sake, I would not mind casting my life away a few more times."

Gu Yinxuan was filled with absolute loyalty, finding such joy in the creation of lethal toxins that he viewed the risks to his own life as a small price to pay.
