As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1862: The Fall of the Ghost Emperor, Truly Burned Out, Soul Capturing Erupts After the Night of Slaughter
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
Hoo hoo hoo——
Above the Heavenly Dome, clouds thick with snow were ripped apart by the chaotic battle raging within Qi Tian City.
Across the blood-colored sky, chains woven with Dao Yun surged, as if Heaven and Earth themselves wept, sending forth snowflakes dyed crimson.
On the horizon, a sun burning like a furnace began its ascent.
Its magnificent radiance spilled forth, bathing the mortal realm in a fiery glow!
Numerous revitalized Martial Artists knelt upon the ground. Towards the figure seated alone within Qi Tian Inner City, who stood against the formidable cultivators of the Deceitful Gods Camp and the Ghost Emperor, they bowed deeply before dispersing across the land.
Li Che perceived the commotion beyond the city walls but paid it no mind; aiding these Martial Brothers had been a mere consequence of circumstance, a trivial act.
His gaze, however, was fixed upon the Qi Tian Inner City.
"Are you venturing forth?"
Li Che's voice echoed.Within the Strange Que formation, three Supreme Beings stared with icy gazes, while countless Venerables regarded him with complex emotions. Those who were evading the Divine Tribulations remained deliberately silent.
"You will eventually be consumed..."
"We shall calmly observe your final moments."
The Sky Wolf Supreme's voice, sharp as icy divine pronouncements, boomed through the void.
Li Che's Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame blazed, his dark robes billowing, his golden bones gleaming with intense light.
He seemed to let out a faint, self-deprecating chuckle.
Then, his skull bowed low.
"Indeed, I have burned myself out..."
At this declaration, the four dazzling golden Qi Blood Vortexes behind him abruptly lost their luminescence, their brilliance extinguished. Only the glory of the nascent sun, crossing the ramparts of Qi Tian Outer City, fell upon the Ghost Emperor.
It appeared as though he had perished on the spot.
Overhead, the heavens rained blood; thunder crackled with a bloody hue; chains of Dao Yun writhed like enraged dragons. It was as if a phoenix of scarlet plumage had erupted from the Cloud Dome, its mournful cries echoing as the skies warped into an anomaly!
"Go! See if the Ghost Emperor has truly fallen!"
"He might actually have expended his all!"
The Sky Wolf Supreme gnashed his teeth but dared not dispatch the Second Disaster Venerable. Instead, he hurled a cultivator of a One-Disaster Three-Tribulations stage out from the Inner City.
Boom——!!!
The four wheels of Golden Light ignited instantly, a blazing sun traversing the heavens.
The Earthly Ghost Emperor, having appeared to fade, once again issued a declaration of power!
He annihilated the Divine Tribulation Cultivator from the One-Disaster Three-Tribulations stage who had charged out of the city. His fist struck horizontally across the sky, golden and entwined with phantom Dragon Elephants, obliterating the Divine Tribulation Cultivator.
"Damn it!"
"Despicable! The Human Race is treacherous and vile!"
The Sky Wolf Supreme roared in fury!
He longed to break free from the Inner City and pulverize this dying human into dust, yet he was ultimately constrained by his fear of the Heaven and Earth Will's retribution!
There was no alternative; he had to await the Supreme of the Dark Heavenly Court to unfurl the Gathering Immortals Flag. Only when the Gathering Immortals Flag was deployed could it provide sanctuary from the Heaven and Earth Will, enabling a breach of the Strange Que formation...
At that moment, he swore he would personally tear off the Ghost Emperor's skull!
The Sky Wolf’s vertical pupils were fixed upon the Earthly Ghost Emperor.
Indeed, that imposing figure...
The four wheels of Qi Blood Light still pulsed, though they seemed to be dimming, nearing their end. Despite appearing as a mere skull, his eyes held a chilling glint.
"I... truly have burned myself out..."
Damn him!
The Ghost Emperor's words were as deceitful as a phantom!
All the potent figures of the Deceitful Gods Camp within Qi Tian Inner City cursed vehemently!
Not a single soul emerged from the city; the Inner City and Outer City seemed utterly severed.
The Earthly Ghost Emperor simply remained seated before the city gates, his gaze filled with a somber intensity, a golden flame flickering within his skull-like eyes.
This was the final flicker of his life force.
Meanwhile, the inhabitants of Qi Tian Inner City watched intently the spectral fire within the Ghost Emperor's pupils, anticipating its final extinguishment.
Fang Hanshu, his scholarly robes fluttering, his handsome beard illuminated by the sun's fiery hue.
He stood hundreds of feet away from the Ghost Emperor, his lips twitching, unable to conceal the bitterness churning within him.
Yet, the profound dedication of a scholar compelled him to wear an expression of intense sorrow.
Turning, he ascended into the sky, his arms outstretched, and the great river surged downwards!
"Today, I, Fang Hanshu, upholding my Grandmaster's sacred will, shall see the Equal Heaven Temple rebuilt!"
...
...
Qi Tian Outer City.
Upon the rooftop of a restaurant.
Dim, orange light cast reflections, stretching the shadows of the few figures seated there into elongated forms.
"Dad, has the Ghost Emperor Master... truly expended all his strength?"
Xi Xi, her hand held by Li Che, displayed a face etched with sorrow.Li Che gently clasped Xi Xi's hand. "Perhaps he has expended his strength, but as long as the fire in the Ghost Emperor's eyes persists, his Martial Immortal Will shall not be extinguished..."
A flicker of resolve involuntarily appeared in Xi Xi's eyes. "Xi Xi will dedicate herself to growing stronger! In the future, I shall vanquish all those wicked individuals within the Inner City who drove Master Ghost Emperor to this state!"
"Dad, Xi Xi really wants to get back the Mystic Thunder Vajra Qiankun Ring! It’s the final piece needed to complete the set. Qiangqiang’s Divine Weapon Will mentioned to Xi Xi that perhaps by assembling this last item, the Third Crown Prince could be resurrected!"
"Qiangqiang’s Will also stated that if the Third Crown Prince does come back to life, he will undoubtedly eliminate everyone!"
Xi Xi’s young features bore a gravity never before seen.
Upon hearing this, Li Che chuckled, the Qiankun Ring, you say?
It does seem like the right moment to collect it...
However, before that, Li Che shifted his thoughts and his true form entered Mo City Fengdu.
He needed to meticulously assess the situation. Following tonight’s extensive carnage...
Soul Capturing has truly exploded!
