As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1857: Immortal Seeds Detonated, Immortal Energy Formed; Martial Immortal Ghost Emperor’s Tragic Battle to the Bitter End
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
There’s no need for that, the Earthly Ghost Emperor is a Mortal Martial Immortal, possessing boundless potential. To exchange lives with two Three Tribulations Venerables would be far too great a loss!
...
...
Within the bustling restaurant, the warm orange light cast its glow.
Xi Xi tightly balled her fists, her large, expressive eyes betraying a flicker of anxiety.
The sheer might of the All Gods faction was utterly overwhelming.
Merely to maintain their presence in Qi Tian City, they had deployed a multitude of formidable individuals, including nine Venerables of the Second Calamity level – a sight rarely witnessed in the mortal realm – and astonishingly, three at the Third Tribulation level.
Such a formidable lineup was enough to inspire utter despair.
Naturally, this overwhelming presence was also due in part to the geographical shifts following the fall of Qi Tian City. The Qi Tian Outer City, now enveloped by the Strange Que of the Qi Tian Mysterious Temple, seemed to form a direct conduit, enabling the Second Calamity Venerables to exert their influence with ease.
"Is Master Ghost Emperor truly intending to perish alongside them?"
Xi Xi’s voice quivered with reluctance as she clenched her tiny fists, a chill coursing through her small frame.
In these recent times, Xi Xi had begun to grasp a multitude of hidden truths.
Through her encounters with the Deceit Demon Cave, the Dark Heavenly Court, and Black Sumeru, among other forces aligned with the gods, she had naturally learned about the Prison Lotus faction. Furthermore, she became aware of the intricate conflicts and the inherent power dynamics between the Prison Lotus faction and the other three major camps.
Added to this, Xi Xi suspected that her own body bore the taint of the Prison Lotus Curse, forging an undeniable connection between herself and the Prison Lotus Camp.
Consequently, Xi Xi’s sole desire was for Master Ghost Emperor to emerge victorious!
Lord Dog lounged lazily atop the rooftop, his fur, dark and lustrous, appeared as if meticulously oiled, reflecting an unending sheen.
Upon hearing Xi Xi’s hesitant question, Lord Dog let out a soft chuckle.
Did she not comprehend the fundamental nature of her own father?
Such a pragmatic individual, how could he possibly tread the path of mutual annihilation?
The so-called mutual destruction implied that the enemy would undoubtedly perish, while he himself might merely suffer the loss of a few strands of hair!
Lord Dog understood Li Che’s disposition all too well.
...
...
This marked the very first occasion Li Che had initiated the detonation of four Qi Gate Immortal Seeds.
His spine thrummed with intensity, the Martial Immortal Golden Body resonating with a constant clang, as if countless streams of incandescent light were erupting and intricately weaving together. His blood surged, feeling as though it could no longer contain the immense power and threatened to violently collapse.
The Qilin Suppression Seal, the Thousand Mountains Sky-cutting Blade, the Crying Blood Immortal Phoenix Withering Glory Arrow, and the Heavenly Stepping Technique!
These four esteemed Qi Gate Immortal Seeds, now infused with Primordial Tribulation Power, seemed to contain an unfathomable, terrifying energy.
The instant Li Che triggered their detonation, it was as if four colossal immortal pillars were thrusting skyward, resonating with the magnificent Golden Heavenly Gate, poised to pierce through the very fabric of the cosmos!
Vaguely, within the swirling depths of the four golden vortices, exotic energy particles began to coalesce, intertwining with one another.
It was a form of transcendent energy, distinct from Essence Qi, Divinity, or Dao Yun; it felt akin to an ancient and profound force.
Li Che’s heart gave a slight tremor!
"Immortal energy?!"
A term surfaced involuntarily in his mind, as if, when the Qi Gate Immortal Seed operated to its absolute peak within the spinal dragon’s core, true immortal energy could manifest and then recede!
However, this profound sensation flashed by fleetingly, vanishing without a trace.
In this current era, devoid of actual immortals, how could one possibly condense genuine immortal energy?!
Li Che’s heart was deeply stirred. Could it be that when the Qi Gate Immortal Seed operated at its utmost limit, it possessed the capability to condense immortal energy?
But, that prospect still felt exceedingly remote; currently, he couldn’t even muster a single trace of such energy.
Even the detonation of the Qi Gate Immortal Seed only produced a fleeting illusion.
Four immense suns blazed into existence behind him, their golden brilliance emanating like colossal millstones, scattering across the world, violently tearing apart the oppressive night, bringing an end to the darkness!
Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable, adorned with golden feathers atop his head, released waves of divine aura, his sharp eagle-like eyes narrowing.
On the opposing side, an Angry Buddha Vajra also narrowed his gaze, his formidable golden physique emitting a rumbling tremor.
Within their hearts, a seed of hesitation began to sprout, questioning whether they should truly burn themselves out alongside the Earthly Ghost Emperor.
They felt a profound reluctance, having cultivated for such immense periods and weathered countless fluctuations within Strange Que; how could they possibly consent to perishing alongside the Earthly Ghost Emperor this very day?
Li Che appeared to perceive the turmoil within their minds, a knowing smirk playing on his lips.
Clenching his five fingers, the bones in his left hand vibrated intensely, unleashing his Martial Immortal Will.
Without even the resolve for a mutually destructive end.
Then your fate is sealed.
Li Che’s physical form seemed to stretch and expand, his muscles and bones crying out in unison. The explosive sound of Qi reverberated endlessly as his Three-point Double-edged Knife unfurled, divine aura spilling forth from its blade.
In an instant, it suppressed the incoming Buddha Staff and the Supreme Golden Feather.
And then, his entire being ascended into the air, treading through the very skies above Qi Tian Outer City. With each deliberate step, the four great suns behind him seemed to orbit his form, as if his entire existence had been elevated to its absolute zenith, burning with boundless intensity!
All power, Essence Qi, and Dao Yun were being frantically consumed and incinerated at this critical moment!
Boom—
The Heaven and Earth chessboard unfurled, employing the Flying Star Teleportation technique.
Appearing instantly before the two Three Tribulations Venerables, a grand slaughter commenced!
It was a full-blown, frenzied engagement!
As though four Great Suns were pressing down horizontally upon the heavens, winds and clouds erupted. Li Che’s formidable physical body unleashed unparalleled power, summoning explosive dragons that soared like celestial serpents!
Bang——!!!
"Madman!"
The Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable clashed, spitting blood, his wings beating behind him as the battle intent within his heart vanished.
The Earthly Ghost Emperor’s reckless demeanor had truly terrified him!
"Contemporary Martial Immortal, are you not afraid of death?!"
The Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable, spreading his wings, transformed into a black shadow, seemingly shattering space itself, and fled desperately towards the direction of the Inner City!
The Earthly Ghost Emperor was wreathed in Purple Fire, covering his head.
As he threw a punch, this strike merged with the Fighting Secret Technique, the opening gambit of the Combat Divine Technique, its power was unmatched!
The Angry Buddha Vajra was instantly annihilated, countless Golden Lights exploded, revealing the Three Tribulations Venerable, Black Sumeru, with blood trickling from his lips.
He gazed at the Earthly Ghost Emperor with a complex expression.
It was as if he sought to discern the true identity concealed beneath the purple flames.
"The martial fortune of the human world is being squandered by you... what a pity, what a profound pity..."
The Angry Buddha Vajra had also entered the Strange Que from the human world; having lived for countless years, he had long since severed ties with the mortal realm, completely transforming into a cultivator aligned with the Black Sumeru faction.
However, his origins were still rooted in the Human World.
"Martial fortune? What is martial? Fighting is martial. If one fears death, how can they possibly carry the martial fortune?"
Li Che offered a faint smile.
Amidst the violently churning fierce Gang Wind, Li Che’s Mo Shan had already been shattered, exposing his entire being interwoven with Qiu Long. Both arms were suddenly raised, and the entire person vanished in an instant!
Boom——
The vast sky exploded!
The night was torn asunder by Golden Light!
The Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable cursed in anger, fleeing like a bolt of lightning towards the Inner City.
The Angry Buddha Vajra let out a long sigh that echoed through the heavens: "Such words, that fighting is martial..."
Boom!
This monk, remarkably, did not flee. His gaze was extraordinarily brilliant, and the Disaster Wheel behind him blazed with extreme radiance!
He seemed profoundly moved by Li Che’s words.
Instead of escaping towards the Inner City like the Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable, he took a resolute step forward, emitting strands of Golden Light all around him. The Golden Light soared skyward, once again transforming into a Great Buddha!
This Great Buddha appeared to be seated upon the Nine Heavens yet remained connected, surrounded by myriad divinities. It seemed to embody the ephemeral aspects of the human world – its joys and sorrows, a Red Dust Vajra Buddha!
The Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable cast a glance, inwardly cursing the foolish monk, and without further thought, transformed into Golden Light and fled into the Qitian Inner City.
The Supreme Demon God of the Deceit Demon Cave was momentarily silenced, yet offered no words.
The peerless Martial Immortal traversed the sky like four Great Suns, seizing a fist, the Fighting Secret Technique unleashed, countless strands of Golden Blood Qi and Dragons spanning the firmament!
Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant!
This Divine Seed Martial Art, conceived by Li Che, was evolving towards Immortal Seed Martial Arts. Combined with the Fighting Secret Technique, it unleashed astonishing ferocity!
It smashed down heavily upon the Golden Body Great Buddha!
In an instant, a single punch transformed, its aura escalating ceaselessly. The fist radiance, manifested by the Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant, intertwined into one hundred and eight strands!
Boom——!!!
The Golden Buddha disintegrated instantly, and the Three Tribulations Venerable, Angry Buddha Vajra, coughed up blood.
Within the dispersing Golden Light, blood rained down like a crimson storm.
Behind the Earthly Ghost Emperor, four Great Suns unfurled. Standing in the sky, as the Golden Buddha shattered, the monk’s blood rain was swept away and dispersed into the vast expanse, with winds swirling around him.
Li Che exhaled softly.
"The monk is commendable; he can enter the underworld."
The gates of Fengdu Mo City swung wide open, and immediately a powerful suction force emerged, consuming the flesh and blood of the first fallen Three Tribulations Venerable.
Behind him, the four Vast Suns trembled. His gaze swept towards the Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable, who had fled into the Inner City. Li Che advanced, each step pressing through the void, as if striking battle drums upon the Heavenly Dome, heading towards the Second Calamity Venerable who was locked in combat with the Sea Flipping Nine Infants.
Fingers clenched into a fist, Dragon Elephant crossed the sky!
A magnificent spray of blood mist erupted, soaring towards the heavens! Within Qi Tian City, a collective gasp of astonishment arose from all onlookers. Numerous martial artists felt a mixture of elation and profound sadness. In their view, The Earthly Ghost Emperor, at this very moment... Had just achieved a breakthrough to the Mortal Martial Immortal realm, only to reach the precipice of his end. His final, fervent struggle, like a transient phantom. A battle intended for mutual annihilation. Such a tragic fate.
