As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1815: The Daughter of Prison Lotus, Born Under the Heavenly Slaughter Star, Actually Has a Father; Qi Tian Protector Devours Heaven and Earth Essence Qi...
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
His whole frame quivered fiercely, blood roared wildly, and waves of blazing heat kept surging upward from deep within him.
In the heart of Qi Tian Inner City, as Li Che faced off against the Black Bull Demon God Venerable, he depleted every single trump card at his disposal and finally shattered the barrier on his martial path, stepping into the Golden Heavenly Gate. There, the core essence of the Martial Immortal was granted to him, elevating him to the rank of Martial Immortal.
Yet Li Che understood deep down that this breakthrough hadn't earned full recognition from the heavens and earth.
What's more, an instinct told him that his journey as a Martial Immortal remained incomplete.
Only by channeling the will of heaven and earth via tribulations in the mortal realm and pushing for another breakthrough could he genuinely ascend to Martial Immortal status.
Achieving Martial Saint through the Divine Martial Dao turns one into a Martial God, setting foot on the road of Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.
Attaining Martial Saint via the Pure Martial Dao forges a Martial Immortal. As for the trials this path demands... Li Che had no clue, nor did he know the calamities awaiting him.
"Martial Immortal, back in the age before the Mysterious Temple emerged and gods vanished, was nothing but a myth."
Seated in lotus position atop the Dominator Tower, Li Che's thick, jet-black hair whipped around savagely without cease.
Inside his torso, countless Dao Fruits throbbed with brilliant energy.
Before him, streams of golden radiance drifted by, resembling curling incense smoke.
...
[Name: Li Che]
[Bonds: Li Nuanxi (daughter)]
[Progress: School Age (Seven years old)]
[Dao Fruits: Immortal Artisan (lv7, 5%), Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv7, 35%), Pure Heart (LV7, 15%), Chess Saint (LV6, 90%), Fairy in the Painting (lv6, 97%), Thunder Magnetism Dao Body (lv6, 5%), Dream Master (lv4, 10%), Ten Thousand Demon Emperor (lv6, 90%)]
...
[Hint: For every year the bond object grows safely, the Dao Tree can produce a Dao Fruit]
...
The familiar Dao Fruit interface finally appeared.
Li Che could almost hear the Dao Tree rustling, every leaf brimming with a whole universe, channeling its profound essence.
As his eyelids lifted, Li Che's spirits soared high.
After slaying the Black Bull Demon God Venerable and battling numerous Divine Tribulation Venerables, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit had surged to Level 7, hitting an impressive 35% maturity!
It brimmed with massive Tao Fruit Instant Enlightenment Feedback!
This feedback from the Tao Fruit ignited a wild thrill in Li Che's heart, an unstoppable impulse.
Even more striking were the advances in the Chess Saint Dao Fruit and Fairy in the Painting Dao Fruit, both seeing heavy use since Li Che arrived in Qi Tian City.
Now, they had both surpassed 90% maturity, with [Fairy in the Painting] especially boosted by the fierce showdown against the Black Bull Demon God Venerable—its power drained in that cataclysm which wrecked Mo City, now gradually mending... that mending fueling its growth.
Li Che figured that once Mo City Fengdu fully rebuilds.
The [Fairy in the Painting] Dao Fruit would break through to Level 7!
On top of that, the [Ten Thousand Demon Emperor] Dao Fruit quivered nonstop.
Because after Li Che took down the Black Bull Demon God Venerable, he skipped absorbing its demon energy right away, instead sealing its soul for revival to aid in defending Qi Tian.
With Qi Tian's defense war over and the resurrection complete.
Li Che now had to absorb the demon energy from a Two Calamities Demon God Venerable.
Perched cross-legged on the Dominator Tower's summit.
Li Che's eyes snapped open, his dense black hair lashing out dramatically, muscles and bones thundering amid the raging qi-blood torrent.
"My Martial Immortal Golden Body hums with power, the Martial Immortal Dao Essence steadily fusing into my frame, yet... it demands a colossal surge of Essence Qi, plus... validation from the Heaven and Earth Will."
Li Che's brow furrowed as he sensed his body's condition.
His flesh hadn't hit peak yet, the key issue being that despite entering the Golden Heavenly Gate and claiming the Martial Immortal Dao Essence.
This essence failed to blend seamlessly with his body, manifesting only as a faint outline beyond his form.
This wouldn't do; delaying the merge meant the Martial Immortal Dao Essence and his physique would stay forever apart, forming a fatal weakness that barred true Martial Immortal ascension!
Having beheld a clash of gods, Li Che's hunger for strength raged like a flood, impossible to contain.
Besides, instinct warned him that Xi Xi's origins spelled endless foes in her future.
The nightmare visions of piled corpses and blood oceans—how could he let Xi Xi tread them solo?
As her father, he yearned only to see her blossom in peace, so he'd shoulder every corpse mountain and blood sea threatening her... Crushing Peaks and Parting Oceans!
With a snap of his fingers.
A chess piece hurtled forth.
The colossal Black Bull Demon God Venerable loomed like a mountain fortress, its demonic aura exploding outward, churning furiously!
"Greetings, Lord!"
Complex emotions flickered in the Black Bull Demon God Venerable’s eyes, but it knelt in obeisance all the same.
Li Che gave a faint nod: "Release your demon energy."
At those words, the Black Bull Demon God Venerable didn't waver, instantly unleashing the demonic power from its core.
Rumble——
Demonic energy exploded in torrents, roiling endlessly, as though a supreme black bull fiend dominated Mo City’s skies!
Li Che splayed his five fingers, locking on from afar.
In his chest, the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit throbbed wildly, turning his torso into a devouring maelstrom that ravenously pulled in the demonic energy!
The energy poured into the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit, its maturity skyrocketing.
This was the demonic power of a Two Calamities Demon God Venerable!
Utterly phenomenal!
Boom——
Once the Black Bull Demon God Venerable’s demonic energy was fully consumed by Li Che.
Li Che's eyes flew wide, dark demonic streams swirling in his pupils.
