As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1832: The Crown Prince Reborn—Defiant, Unyielding, and Fierce; Slaying All Gods, Immortals Among Humans

The thunder vanished, plunging everything into profound silence.

Moonlight flowed like water, stripped of its golden hue and growing dimmer, cascading from the deep blue sky to bathe the mortal realm in crisp, radiant light.

The aurora-like heavenly tribulation faded away; it had been a genuine heavenly tribulation, far more fearsome than the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations. A being like the Earthly Ghost Emperor, boasting an supremely mighty Martial Immortal Body, had nearly been shattered by the thunderous assault.

Yet the Earthly Ghost Emperor endured in the end, weathering the horrifying tribulation lightning akin to the third disaster tribulation.

This stretch of the Grand Canal had fully run dry.

Exposed riverbed bore the marks of evaporated waters, while fish and beasts, long scared witless by Heavenly Might, had fled in panic, abandoning a pristine, barren channel.

Purple flames atop the Earthly Ghost Emperor’s head blazed anew, the Golden Skull gleaming brighter than ever, ancient golden runes seemingly circulating through its bony structure.

Charred sections peeled off and dissolved, unveiling a freshly regenerated body that drew in essence qi from five thousand miles of heaven and earth. Crystal-clear skin gleamed as golden blood thundered like rapids along the meridians.

All eyes locked onto the scene, breaths growing ragged, composure shattered, hearts pounding with awe.

Did it succeed?

It seems... it succeeded!

For the heavenly tribulation overhead had scattered and withdrawn, ceasing to summon heaven and earth's will or unleash further punishment, as if blending seamlessly into the cosmos.

Gazes shifted to the Earthly Ghost Emperor, where twisting purple flames cloaked his face like a veil, concealing his true features from prying eyes.

Who is the Earthly Ghost Emperor?

An entity striding the Martial Path with unmatched poise, amid an age where divinity corrupts martial pursuits and Immortality remains unattainable...

Whose identity could belong to this Martial Arts Genius who ascended as a Martial Immortal?

Absolute obscurity is inconceivable!

Minds raced as everyone speculated wildly on the Earthly Ghost Emperor’s origins. Previously dismissed, now it demanded their full attention.

For the Earthly Ghost Emperor had achieved Martial Immortal status!

A Martial Immortal—even freshly advanced—rivals a One Disaster One Tribulation Divine Tribulation Great Cultivator in realm!

Yet a key distinction exists: in battle prowess, a Martial Immortal utterly dominates Divine Tribulation Great Cultivators!

The Martial Immortal Body proves overwhelmingly superior; even without Divine Tribulation Secret Skills, it fears not the Two Calamities Divine Tribulation!

Beings like this tower at the human world's apex, their names destined for eternal fame!

Still, the Earthly Ghost Emperor’s identity eludes all, memories scoured and theories spun, but no fitting name emerges.

Chiefly due to its rarity—drawing on five thousand years of human martial fortune past and future, only thus forging a Peerless Martial Immortal!

Utterly astounding!

Rustles echoed nonstop near Qi Tian City, throngs densely packed, witnessing a Martial Arts Genius shatter into the Martial Immortal Realm. Warriors defying this era's martial boundaries flushed with thrill, qi-blood surging wildly, passions overflowing in fervent chatter.

Martial Arts Monument!

The Earthly Ghost Emperor stands as humanity's Martial Arts Monument!

Through unadulterated martial arts, free of divinity's stain, ascending to the Martial Immortal Realm—equivalent to Divine Tribulation Realm—this nears an unrivaled supremacy!

Defying divinity's allure, what a titanic figure!

But...

All lifted their heads instinctively, staring upward, bewilderment etching their features unbidden.

"No... that’s not right..."

"The Earthly Ghost Emperor seems to be guarding against something... is it possible that the heavenly tribulation hasn’t ended?!"

"That can’t be right, the heavenly tribulation has already dispersed, there’s no threat from the Will of Heaven and Earth descending... what is he guarding against?"

...

Keen observers had expected the newly ascended Earthly Ghost Emperor to exude triumphant ease, but he showed none; indeed, many detected his wary stance.

Shi Jian, the True Martial Divine Sect Master, and ancestor Shi Yuan displayed grave and desolate looks upon their faces as well.

"Could it be... another tribulation lingers unresolved? Having reached this stage, is the Martial Immortal Realm... truly so arduous to attain?"

Ancestor Shi Yuan of the True Martial Divine Sect lifted his head in a prolonged sigh, sorrowful tears flowing down his cheeks.

Martial Path... is there truly no way ahead, just boundless darkness?

...

...

Li Che remained rooted in place as charred remnants sloughed off, his body fully restored. Essence qi flooded back into him, reconstructing blood and flesh, elevating his condition to its finest yet.

This was chiefly due to the [Dragon Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruit in his chest, which had endured the heavenly tribulation's baptism right alongside him.

Undoubtedly, it had received a profound boost and metamorphosis!

Still, Li Che stayed tense, with tribulation flames whirling overhead, a golden skull shimmering, and fire lingering in his gaze.

His forehead cracked open, unveiling the Star Plucking Pupil—a vertical eye mirroring every direction!

The Heaven and Earth chessboard thundered upward too, twisting through the skies in pursuit of that mysterious, sourceless dread!

That faint yet malevolent aura of danger, reminiscent of venomous serpents hissing from hidden shadows, robbed Li Che of any chance to bask in his breakthrough to Martial Arts Immortal.

Nevertheless, after scanning everywhere and spotting nothing, Li Che felt a wave of confusion. Had his instincts misled him?

Could it stem from the unparalleled ferocity of this tribulation, hammered by its thunderbolts, leaving his senses somewhat frayed?

Without question, the Martial Immortal Tribulation marked the direst peril Li Che had ever faced since embarking on his cultivation path.
