Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Crack, crack—!!!
High in the heavens, the collective presence of numerous peak deities and top-tier great gods seemed to trigger a violent surge of auras. This friction drew forth countless wicked arcs of lightning from the dark clouds, weaving a massive web of electricity across the sky!
Pillars of divinity and Qi-blood surged toward the Cloud Dome, tearing the midnight clouds into rippling fragments.
It appeared as if the sky itself was being forcibly pushed aside by an invisible hand.
As the howling winds shrieked, the gentle snowflakes were instantly melted by the intense heat of the auras. They turned into droplets and evaporated into a thick mist before they could even grace the earth, drowning the world in a heavy fog!
Lv Taibai’s presence spanned the horizon, his Sword Qi shimmering with radiant light as it swept across the firmament!
The silver sword light was breathtakingly brilliant, releasing a majestic torrent of Sword Qi.
Bound by this energy, Lv Taibai’s silver hair and wide sleeves lashed about in the wind. With eyes glowing with a silvery luster, he unleashed an endless storm of sword Qi!
He clashed violently against Ji Moli’s aura in the center of the sky.
A thunderous explosion erupted!
It was as if a thousand electric currents had detonated within the canopy, resembling the descent of heavenly thunder!
Ji Moli stood tall, clad in clanging black armor with a flowing red cloak. With his hands clasped behind his back, he appeared as imposing as a god-demon, his freezing gaze saturated with murderous intent.
Nearby, Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect shared a look, merging their auras into a singular, terrifying pillar of light. It manifested like a monstrous god-demon emerging from the Netherworld, possessing eerie eyes and massive feet that resembled the hooves of a demon elephant!
Rumble—!
The combined weight of two half-step divine tribulation auras bore down, clearly intending to crush Lv Taibai’s presence into nothingness!
In a fair one-on-one duel, Lv Taibai would have no reason to fear Heavenly Defect or Earth Defect, as the pair only reached the level of half-step divine tribulation by utilizing a divine martial secret technique.
However, Ji Moli was present as well.
He was a true half-step divine tribulation expert, one who had been tempered by Netherworld Fire and held the formidable Netherworld Fire Dao Position.
Consequently, the silver brilliance of Lv Taibai’s sword light began to fade, losing its luster as it was utterly overwhelmed!
Beyond the walls of Qianyuan Dao City.
Aboard the Mystic Iron Spirit Wood Warship.
His cloth robes fluttering as he gently waved his feather fan, Xie Yushen couldn't help but squint.
He could feel the savage and turbulent collision of auras erupting between the heavens and the earth.
A strange glint flickered within Xie Yushen’s pupils.
"Are these the pawns you have placed on the board?"
"In such a hopeless state, knowing a giant dragon blocks the path, you still intend to slay it?!"
"Depending only on Lv Taibai... from where does this arrogance stem?!"
"Are you counting on the Underworld?"
Xie Yushen’s eyes shone with a dark light as he thought of Li Che.
Even though the Underworld Yama had conducted a massacre in the Divine Capital—slaying the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird in succession—that strength was still only comparable to a single half-step divine tribulation.
That would only make two half-step divine tribulations in total...
Furthermore, the other monsters of the Underworld posed no real threat to those at the top-tier peak.
Whether it was the Bull Demon, Horse Face Li Che, the Divine Monkey, the Thunder Dragon, or the others, none of them held the combat power of a peak god level.
Thus, while the Underworld was indeed mysterious and formidable...
This situation was not the same as the one in the Divine Capital.
There was no Xuan Jiu Zhuan from the Xuanfu Divine Sect here today, nor was there Shi Jian from the True Martial Divine Sect. None of those elite powerhouses were present...
A lone Underworld Yama simply would not be enough!
Whooo—
A thick, black fog began to crawl upward from Qianyuan Dao City, which was currently lit as bright as day by the Qi-blood auras of the masters above.
The fan in Xie Yushen’s hand moved faster and faster, swish swash...
His brow began to knit together in a frown.
Was the pressure he exerted still insufficient?
He turned his gaze toward a ship anchored in the distance.
There, a figure had appeared on the deck at some unknown moment. Dressed in a Kasaya with hands pressed together in prayer, the man looked benevolent, his two long eyebrows dancing in the breeze.
"Grandmaster, prepare to intervene."
Xie Yushen spoke to Grandmaster Huang Mei, his eyebrows twitching slightly.
Grandmaster Huang Mei hailed from the Little Lingyin Temple. Unlike the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect or the Seven Treasures Divine Sect, which Xie Yushen had convinced to formally submit to the Imperial Court for peace and resources, this monk was different.
Because of this, Xie Yushen had held Grandmaster Huang Mei back during the initial wave of aura suppression against Qianyuan Dao City.
But now, Xie Yushen felt it was necessary to heap more pressure upon the city.
Hearing the command, Grandmaster Huang Mei bowed his head kindly.
"Amitabha Buddha."
"State Preceptor, this monk hears and obeys."
Suddenly.
Xie Yushen’s fluttering feather fan came to a dead stop.
"No, something is off..."
"Something is very wrong!"
But in the end...
Where exactly was the flaw?!
...
...
"My Soul Capturing troops..."
"Rise!"
A low, muffled voice vibrated from behind the Horse Face Mask.
One after another, dark shadows began to warp and rise from the rooftops. They looked like pools of black oil, bubbling and expanding before solidifying into human shapes.
Black mist swirled as powerful auras erupted, making it seem as if the Netherworld was bleeding into the mortal realm.
The Soul Capturing troops emerged one by one, stretching their limbs as they materialized.
The sound of their bones cracking echoed like a mixture of rolling thunder and exploding firecrackers!
Han Sixi’s Soul Capturing apparition appeared, wearing a black mask to hide his identity. He had discarded the vestments of the Purple-clothed Monk Temple, replacing them with the standard hooded black robes of the Earthly Hell Imprisoned Gods.
With the mask and robe hiding his features and his aura intentionally muddied, it was impossible to determine his true origin.
Through the swirling dark mist, a respectful voice transmitted to Li Che: "Lord!"
The tone was sincere and heavy, filled with fluctuating emotion.
Han Sixi had stayed by the Third Prince's side all this time.
Even though Li Che had departed from the Divine Capital, the bond with the Soul Capturing troops remained. Now, with the Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit reaching LV6, the soldiers he had captured had undergone a fundamental transformation.
