As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1941: How Could I Let My Daughter Draw Fire, Voluntarily Revealing Martial Immortal Li Che in the Human World
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
Now that the Earthly Ghost Emperor has made his exit...
A profound and involuntary sense of desolation washed over many hearts.
Numerous experts felt their very souls lurch with unease.
Could it be...
That the Ghost Emperor could no longer endure, and was truly destined to burn out and fall?!
"Martial Immortal, my liege..."
"My Mortal Martial Immortal has finally reached his twilight!"
"I refuse to accept this—"
"My heart is choked with anguish; I only lament my insufficient strength, for otherwise, I would undoubtedly storm the Inner City, clashing with those formidable beings of Strange Que until the very heavens and earth were upended, to avenge the grievances of my Mortal Martial Immortal!"
Qitian Outer City.
Expert after expert materialized, their countenances etched with surging grief.
Fang Hanshu also appeared, his Confucian robe billowing, his fine beard dancing in the wind.
Li Che, assuming the mantle of the Ghost Emperor, cast a glance towards Fang Hanshu; the two exchanged a silent acknowledgment, not uttering a single superfluous word.
Following this, Li Che proceeded onward, step by deliberate step, exiting Qitian Outer City.
Beyond the city confines, his stride accelerated exponentially, as if the very earth were shrinking beneath his feet.
Within Qi Tian City, countless Martial Artists were overcome with tears. They pursued, leaving the city in their wake, following the phantom of the Ghost Emperor. Yet, the Ghost Emperor's speed proved too immense. Ultimately, these Martial Artists could only stand upon the desolate earth, watching as the Ghost Emperor vanished between the heavens and the earth.
Where the Ghost Emperor had journeyed, no one could ascertain.
All they knew was that Qi Tian City was now graced with the legend of the Mortal Martial Immortal.
A legend.
This is a legend born of the mortal realm.
In Qi Tian City, with the vital assistance of the Qitian Temple God, enduring the immense pressure and intimidation from the experts of the All Gods Camp, he forcefully overcame the most perilous Tribulation between heaven and earth. In doing so, he powerfully seized five thousand years of the human world's Martial Fortune to ascend into the Martial Immortal Realm.
He then immolated himself, suppressing the formidable adversaries that had been held captive by the gods of Strange Que within Qitian Inner City.
And now...
The Mortal Martial Immortal turned and departed.
Leaving behind an enduring legend.
Qitian Inner City.
A pervasive, mysterious fog hung in the air, swirling like intertwined ribbons of smoke.
Jialou Supreme and Supreme Xuanzhen hovered in the sky, their potent auras unleashed without restraint, blanketing an area of a thousand zhang around them. They meticulously monitored for the slightest abnormal fluctuation, determined to prevent any unforeseen danger from erupting.
The demise of Sky Wolf Supreme had instilled within them a profound shock, forcing them to comprehend that within Qitian Inner City, even a Supreme being could face the dire prospect of annihilation.
To this day, the pair remained baffled as to the exact circumstances surrounding Sky Wolf Supreme's demise.
Qitian Inner City...
There exists a foul element!
But from whence did this foul element originate?!
"Has he truly departed?"
"It appears his Qi-Blood is genuinely on the verge of depletion. Is he fated to perish, seeking a final resting place to inter his own form?"
Supreme Xuanzhen inquired in a hushed tone.
Jialou Supreme's gaze was profound, the light of Buddha circulating within, exuding an immeasurable depth.
"Most likely so. Nevertheless, it seems someone in Qitian Outer City has successfully condensed a Tao Divine Pattern and achieved the Supreme realm. Even if the Martial Immortal has departed, the Outer City remains exceptionally perilous..."
"The existence of a Supreme in Qitian Outer City cannot be tolerated. How could a newly ascended Supreme emerge?"
"Dispatch someone to investigate."
The two Supremes conferred with each other in measured, indifferent tones.
Subsequently, a cultivator at the Great Cultivator stage of the One Disaster God Tribulation was tasked with departing Qitian Inner City.
This action served as their reconnaissance—a probe to ascertain whether the Ghost Emperor had left any contingency plans, and simultaneously, to identify the mysterious, newly ascended Supreme within the Outer City.
However—
That Great Cultivator of the One Disaster God Tribulation, wracked with dread, emerged from Qitian Inner City.
The very instant he lifted his head, fueled by a surge of hope, an overwhelming and terrifying killing intent instantly ensnared him.
Puchi!
A blade-sharp Sword Qi erupted, violently tearing his flesh and blood asunder in a spectacular explosion!
This was the legacy of Li Che's Immortal Seed Martial Art, the [Six Desires Void Sword Technique].
Through its fusion with the Tao Tribulation Power of Primordial Qiankun Battle, it had formed a Sword Array of utter devastation.
Any cultivator below the level of a Second Disaster Venerable, upon exiting Qitian Inner City, would be ruthlessly shredded by this formidable Sword Array.
And should a Second Disaster Venerable dare to step forth...
This Supreme, Fang Hanshu, would immediately intervene and execute the intruder.
Upon witnessing the God Tribulation cultivator being contorted into a mist of blood by the Sword Qi, Supreme Xuanzhen and Jialou Supreme instantly grasped the Ghost Emperor's intricate stratagems and calculations.
"That accursed wretch..."
Supreme Xuanzhen spat the curse in a low, guttural voice.
Their imposing auras receded, and the idea of dispatching experts from within Qitian Inner City was abandoned. It was recognized as a futile endeavor.
The effort would prove meaningless.
...
...
Li Che decided against allowing the Earthly Ghost Emperor to indefinitely remain stationed within Qitian Inner City. His subsequent strategy necessitated the Earthly Ghost Emperor's relocation for the purpose of eliminating adversaries. Through relentless and widespread annihilation, the Dao Fruit's ripeness was to be cultivated.
Ancestor Dragon Island was engaged in a fishing expedition. The Earthly Ghost Emperor, however, was the colossal fish they had managed to ensnare!
Buzz—
Assuming the guise of the Ghost Emperor, Li Che traversed hundreds of li on foot, disappearing amidst the undulations of mountains and rivers. In the very next moment, he secured the Thunder Chess Piece and made his return to Golden Light Peak. He entered the Painting Immortal Avatar, which was then engaged in lighthearted conversation with Nan Lihuo.
Gurgle, gurgle...
A steaming kettle bubbled merrily, its contents filled with emerald-green tea leaves tumbling in the boiling water. The very instant Li Che reappeared, the formidable Martial Immortal Will residing within him, belonging to the Earthly Ghost Emperor, had yet to be fully subdued. It surged outwards like a tempest, causing the entire Divine Palace atop Golden Light Peak to shudder precariously, on the verge of collapse.
Nan Lihuo, on the brink of pouring tea for Li Che, abruptly experienced a sensation of being encased in ice. His pupils constricted with abject terror as he gazed at Li Che. What sheer magnitude of pressure was emanating from him! Merely a fraction of it was almost enough to extinguish his breath!
What level had Li Che now achieved?! The former humble porter at the wood carving shop in Fei Lei City... how incredibly high had he ascended now?!
Nevertheless, this overwhelming aura persisted for merely an instant before completely dissipating, leaving no trace behind. Nan Lihuo's body and spirit found release, yet he was acutely aware that the sensation he had just felt was no mere figment of imagination. With a gentle smile gracing his features, Li Che shared a few more cups of tea with Nan Lihuo before rising to his feet. Nan Lihuo remained lost in the lingering memory of that terrifying aura, feeling as though he had confronted a genuine Immortal. The soul-shattering experience left him profoundly shaken.
