As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1928: Witnessing Emperor Xi Xi’s Growth Over the Years—Today She Fights Bloody Battles in Golden Light Prefecture
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
From the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, South Sea Bamboo Forest, Wushen Mountain, Da Li Royal Court, and numerous Noble Families, experts at the Divine Tribulation and Martial God realms were projecting potent spiritual senses. It appeared as though they were keenly observing the unfolding events. This confrontation, after all, could potentially reveal the hidden depths of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect and confirm the presence of Lv Taibai and Lv Qiankun. Most importantly, however, they were eager to ascertain the extent of the Underworld's backing for Li Nuanxi! The Underworld… its name resonated like thunder, its actions in Qi Tian City known to nearly every major power. It was common knowledge that the Earthly Ghost Emperor of the Underworld had ascended as the sole Martial Immortal of this era, positioned at the Qitian Inner City Gate, holding back the three Supremes from the All Gods Camp! The profound connection between Li Nuanxi and the Underworld was undeniable. Thus, the paramount curiosity across all factions was precisely the nature of the assistance the Underworld had provided to Li Nuanxi!

Perched atop Golden Light Peak, Li Che reposed serenely in a Taishi Chair. Accompanying him were Liu Yangyuan, the Young Master of the Golden Light Sub-sect, and Elders Zhu Hong Dou and Weng Wuyu. Supervisor Hu Yingyue of the Qintian Observatory was also present, cheerfully strumming an erhu nestled on his lap. At this precise moment, with the Dragon God of the Four Seas Dragon Clan unleashing his formidable aura, the entire Golden Light Prefecture City began to convulse. Zhu Hong Dou and the others’ expressions immediately grew taut, their countenances becoming exceptionally grave. "It's a Divine Tribulation aura..." Liu Yangyuan’s face paled. He cast a glance at Li Che, a mixture of awe and reverence in his eyes. "Elder Li... in recent days, every significant faction within Golden Light Prefecture City has stationed a Divine Tribulation Expert. Such existences were once beyond the imagination of Golden Light Prefecture..." "Consequently, the burden on the sub-sect has been immense during this period." "Little Junior Sister... the Sect Master... is launching a direct assault on all major factions this time—isn’t that too hasty? Won’t she inadvertently become the target of everyone?" Li Che offered a gentle nod. "She will become everyone's target... but that signifies little." Li Che took a sip of his hot tea, the familiar taste evoking a sense of nostalgia after so long. "Xi Xi has just assumed the mantle of Sect Master; as the saying goes, a new official makes three pronouncements upon taking office. She intends to make her presence felt..." "Furthermore, the current state of affairs in Golden Light Prefecture City provides the perfect stage for her to unleash her full potential." Li Che’s voice was remarkably calm, yet it left Liu Yangyuan somewhat astonished. "Elder Li... those are Divine Tribulation Experts..." Liu Yangyuan felt compelled to remind him. Li Che regarded him briefly and nodded. "Rest assured. The young lady has matured... she possesses a plethora of trump cards." "Just observe closely, Xi Xi's evolution over these past years." "She is no longer that naive girl from her first encounter with Temple God Resonance..." "She is on the verge of commencing a profound transformation, one that will shake this world to its very foundations..." For Li Che, there were few elements within Golden Light Prefecture capable of truly menacing Xi Xi... In truth, even if Xi Xi refrained from deploying the Ten Ferocities Chess Pieces, her possession of the upgraded Immortal Artisan Extreme-Pressure Triple Cannon was amply sufficient to counter these threats. After all, the Divine Tribulation experts venturing into Golden Light Prefecture were predominantly in the One Disaster One Tribulation Realm. Even those in the One Calamity and Two Tribulations Realm would exercise restraint, lest they draw the ire of the Heaven and Earth Will… Therefore, for Xi Xi, Golden Light Prefecture represented a domain where she could act with impunity, boldly displaying the majesty befitting a Sect Master. Xi Xi might not fully grasp this herself, but she placed unwavering trust in her father. The extraordinary trump cards her father had bestowed upon her were Xi Xi’s ultimate source of confidence! To subjugate, dominate, and intimidate all the major factions that had previously pressured the Qian Yuan Divine Sect’s Golden Light Branch... Xi Xi was determined to make them pay dearly today! Today, Golden Light Prefecture would be drenched in blood! As Li Che's words concluded, Liu Yangyuan fell into a contemplative silence. He held Li Che in profound awe; while his feelings towards Xi Xi remained complex, towards her father, Li Che, this esteemed Divine Sculpture Master... he harbored boundless reverence. This was, after all, an unparalleled powerhouse who had emerged from a decidedly ordinary wood carving establishment! Li Che made a subtle gesture with his finger, and the Heaven and Earth chessboard materialized before them, vividly displaying the scene of Xi Xi confronting the Second Prince... It also revealed the moment the East Sea Dragon God initiated an attack against Xi Xi... Liu Yangyuan, Zhu Hong Dou, and the others could not help but inhale sharply in astonishment.
The sight of a Dragon God, whose might was comparable to a Divine Tribulation, making a move caused the palpable pressure of the Divine Tribulation to seem to emanate from the depiction itself, freezing their very blood solid.
The scene unfolding within the image rendered them utterly stunned in an instant.
"Ah, this..."
"That's Xi Xi?!"
... .
... .
Rumble—!!!
Divinity flared, Dragon Power surged, coalescing into a colossal Dragon Claw, stretching three zhang in length. Faint, delicate cracks began to manifest in the very fabric of space surrounding the Dragon Claw.
These spatial fissures branched and interlocked, appearing incredibly ferocious!
Bang, bang, bang—
As the claw descended, the air currents churned with a furious roar, a howling explosion!
Billowing wind and turbulent air currents swept up immense clouds of dust along the thoroughfare. The very blue bricks underfoot proved incapable of withstanding the onslaught, shattering and exploding into fine powder!
Feng Zhiqi felt an intense burning sensation on his forehead, his entire body's blood going cold, as if a razor-sharp arrow was poised to pierce his brow, pushing him to the precipice of death!
A roar erupted from Feng Zhiqi; even his eyes seemed fractured!
In the heavens, dark clouds gathered ominously. The Heaven and Earth Will had already sensed the actions of a Divine Tribulation expert within the Human World, and a brewing pressure began to form!
However, it was merely brewing. A Great Cultivator of the Divine Tribulation realm, specifically in the One Disaster One Tribulation stage, could still enact minor actions within the Human World without immediate consequence!
Feng Zhiqi's eyes felt as though they would split asunder. He had never anticipated the situation in Golden Light Prefecture to be this dire.
They had only just set foot in Golden Light Prefecture, and already a Great Cultivator of the Divine Tribulation realm was personally intervening, intending to suppress and eliminate Xi Xi!
"Aaaah—!!!"
A thunderous tremor ran through Feng Zhiqi’s bones, and all thirty-six thousand pores simultaneously expelled a misty spray of blood. In this critical moment, he actually managed to break free from the oppressive Divine Tribulation pressure. His five fingers clenched tightly; his eyes burned with an astonishing brilliance!
"Sect Master, be cautious!"
At this precise instant, Feng Zhiqi’s resolve blazed brighter than ever before!
The long saber at his waist vibrated with each passing moment. In a flash, his five fingers gripped the hilt firmly; he drew the blade and swung it forward. A terrifying aura of Absolute Peak surged towards the heavens, as if a Celestial Gate was on the verge of being stirred!
Under the immense pressure, he had, at this very moment, shattered his own limitations!
He took an extraordinarily critical step forward.
Although Feng Zhiqi was acutely aware that this single step would be insignificant against a Great Cultivator of the Divine Tribulation,
The sheer audacity to defy Divine Tribulation pressure and launch a blade strike against a Divine Tribulation Expert was, in itself, a profound Transformation!
Xi Xi's eyes lit up. Witnessing Feng Zhiqi struggle with all his might, like a reckless warrior attempting to hold back a collapsing mountain, a warmth inexplicably surged within her heart!
The Forehead Prison Lotus Divine Pattern etched between Xi Xi's brows trembled; potent Heavenly Person Sensing instantly burst forth, expanding outwards and fiercely channeling into the pink Triple Mechanical Gun Platform clutched in her hands.
Behold, as all ten thousand Mechanical Nine Divine Seals adorning the cannon platform seemed to awaken at this very instant!
One after another, incredibly compressed Thunderballs launched from the six rapidly rotating barrels!
Accompanying Feng Zhiqi's guttural roar and prolonged cry, after shattering the shackles of the overwhelming pressure, the dazzling blade light he unleashed towards the Dragon Claw, akin to a blazing sun, erupted forth!
This was undoubtedly the most resplendent slash Feng Zhiqi had ever executed in his entire existence!
A slash possessing an almost godlike quality!
Feng Zhiqi experienced a wild sensation of breaking free from restraints, a long-lost, unrestrained exhilaration, devoid of any regret.
Even if, following this single slash, he were to be obliterated by a claw strike from the Dragon God himself...
He would still find contentment!
For this was the mightiest slash he had ever mustered, a strike aimed at safeguarding his Sect Master!
Rumble—!!!
An endless sharpness churned, tearing the very air currents asunder!
Before their very eyes, everyone felt the blade light grow impossibly dazzling, as if countless Thunderbolt Arcs were rampaging and entwining within its radiance.
Then—
A Dragon's Chant, laden with shock and fierce indignation, resounded!
Everyone perceived the endless, brilliant blade light cleaving outwards.
Subsequently.
The Dragon God, positioned beside the Second Prince, abruptly transformed into a colossal Dragon Shadow that blotted out the sky, attempting to ascend into the heavens—but only halfway through its ascent,
Innumerable clouds of blood mist erupted from the immense dragon's body, accompanied by a wretched, agonizing scream.
With a deafening boom, it disintegrated in mid-air!
Feng Zhiqi remained in his blade-swinging stance, his dark, resilient hair whipping wildly in the wind.
He stared, dumbfounded, at the dragon's ascent and subsequent fall...
His blade...
Was its power truly this formidable?!
