As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1546: 411: Borrowing 2 Luck Golden Lotuses From the Great Vista, Invincible Below the God Realm
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Threads of shimmering gold entwine within the blossom.
“Luck Golden Lotus…”
“Xie Yushen has spent so long cultivating the destiny of Dajing, and now it finally blooms. It appears… the situation over at Qianyuan Taoist City has turned dire…”
“Could it be that even two Divine Tribulations are insufficient to safeguard him?”
“Is it possible the opposition sent three Divine Tribulations to ensure his death?”
A soft, murmuring voice drifted from the rift.
Then, the fissure sealed shut.
A moment later, however, the void was torn asunder from a different perspective.
“Incompetent.”
Following a sharp curse, the gap vanished once more.
…
…
“What exactly is this?”
Li Che could not suppress a look of intrigue.
In truth, having reached a level where he could vaguely perceive the fundamental forces of Heaven and Earth, Li Che already had a suspicion.
“The power of fortune?”
Li Che’s brow twitched slightly.
“Correct… this is indeed the power of fortune!”
Xie Yushen appeared as if he had been dipped in liquid gold, radiating an aura that seemed to merge seamlessly with the heavens themselves.
In this instant, a mere mortal seemed to have ascended directly into a divine state!
He stood atop the golden lotus. Behind him, a golden disc began to materialize; though it was blurred and riddled with imperfections, its presence was undeniable.
“I have borrowed two portions of Dajing’s imperial fortune…”
Xie Yushen directed his gaze toward the Underworld Yama, a subtle smirk crossing his brilliant golden eyes.
“Let us finish this quickly… I hope not to deplete too much fortune, or His Majesty will surely reprimand me.”
Xie Yushen let out a soft sigh.
“You borrowed two portions of Dajing’s imperial fortune? You can actually use national fortune to bolster your own strength?”
Li Che spoke, his voice sounding gravelly and deep, thick with astonishment.
“Can you actually nurture fortune?”
Li Che pressed further, his tone turning noticeably more intense.
Xie Yushen narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Is it not obvious to you by now?”
“The Luck Golden Lotus I spent so much time refining was forced into the light because of you…”
“I have cultivated three Luck Golden Lotuses for Dajing. Each represents two portions of fortune, totaling six. The remaining four… reside in the hands of His Majesty.”
“His Majesty tasked me with nurturing these six portions of Dajing’s fortune to make it whole. Within the eleven Divine Sects, each holds a piece of fortune that rightfully belongs to Dajing! Every one of them, save for the True Martial Divine Sect, must be wiped out!”
Xie Yushen’s eyes erupted with a blinding golden radiance.
“The Qian Yuan Divine Sect… is merely the start. The bird that pokes its head out is the first to be struck. The chaos at the Flat Peach Victory Meeting was designed for Temple God Resonance, but it also served as a pretext to move against the Divine Sects…”
“Even if Qian Yuan hadn't stepped forward, others would have—the Heavenly Master Purple Mansion Sect, the South Sea Bamboo Forest, or the Green Cloud Mysterious Talisman—all were potential targets.”
“It just so happens that you, Qian Yuan, walked right into it.”
Xie Yushen spoke with cold composure.
“However, despite my best-laid plans, I did not anticipate… that the Qian Yuan Divine Sect would receive such unexpected help from the Underworld.”
“The Underworld, truly…”
Xie Yushen’s power began to surge uncontrollably.
Boom—!!!
Suddenly, a pillar of golden light plummeted from the sky like a massive elephant's leg, piercing the darkness of the night.
It was as if the heavens and earth were being sliced in two.
The beam slammed into the debris and swirling dust below.
High above, Gu Qianchi and the God Hunter Killer, who were locked in a stalemate, both showed expressions of shock.
“Is that… the Luck Golden Lotus?!”
“Incredible, Xie Yushen! He actually tapped into the power of fortune! He’s using Dajing’s destiny!”
Gu Qianchi’s eyes sparkled, recognizing the familiar pressure of the Heaven and Earth Will.
Meanwhile, the God Hunter Killer could not hide his amazement.
Their focus sharpened instantly.
The tide had turned…
“Luck Golden Lotus!”
This Xie Yushen was proving to be a formidable opponent.
Beneath his Star Vortex Mask, Fang Hanshu let out a weary sigh.
It appeared…
This assassination attempt was destined for failure.
The Underworld’s intricate schemes and brilliant planning were all for naught!
The Luck Golden Lotus…
Based on the sheer intensity of that golden pillar, Xie Yushen had likely tapped into two portions of Dajing’s destiny, elevating himself to the level of a Half-step Divine Realm.
Crucially…
With the blessing of fortune, Xie Yushen had gained the favor of the Heaven and Earth Will. Shrouded in such Heavenly Might, he was essentially peerless among those in the Half-step Divine Realm!
He might even survive a few exchanges with a true Divine Tribulation.
Although the Underworld Yama had previously destroyed Ji Moli’s avatar, that was only…
Possible because of a three-way alliance.
Ji Moli was still a long way from being truly invincible at the Half-step Divine Realm!
Thus, Fang Hanshu felt certain that in this clash… the Underworld Yama would fail to kill Xie Yushen.
Furthermore, the Underworld had used Fengdu to trap the Divine Tribulation expert Zhao Beidou within a mysterious city.
That city acted like a Small Cave Heaven, but it was unclear how long it could hold a man like Zhao Beidou.
Without a Divine Tribulation guardian inside that city to maintain the seal…
Zhao Beidou would likely break free from the Small Cave Heaven in under a hundred breaths!
It was a failure, plain and simple…
Fang Hanshu sighed behind his mask.
Still, he wasn't shocked. In the business of assassination, failure was a frequent guest.
It was surprising that Xie Yushen could wield Dajing’s destiny, and that the Emperor was bold enough to grant such power to a subordinate…
Yet, it also demonstrated the Emperor’s absolute control; what he could give to Xie Yushen, he could just as easily take back…
The Emperor was using Xie Yushen to crush sects and conquer territory with that destiny…
“Is he attempting to consolidate destiny before the celestial shift of the Strange Que, hoping to rise as the Sovereign of Humanity?”
Fang Hanshu’s eyes flickered with dark realization.
“But… that is no simple task!”
“The world consists of more than just the Eleven Divine Sects and the Great Vista… there is still the Da Li Royal Court, Wushen Mountain, the Western Regions Buddha Land, the Four Seas Dragon Clan, and the Country of Ten Thousand Demons!”
Fang Hanshu took a breath, pushing those thoughts aside.
Even though he foresaw the failure of this mission, he continued to dutifully block Gu Qianchi’s path.
The Underworld was, at the very least, fighting for the survival of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect…
He couldn't just walk away.
Gu Qianchi, however, was no longer in a rush to attack. Instead, he began to actively stall the Star Vortex God Hunter.
He was preventing the hunter from going to assist the Underworld Yama.
…
…
“Do you realize what is forming behind me?”
“Once this solidifies, I will have effectively crossed into the Divine Tribulation Realm!”
“This is the ‘Disaster Wheel.’ A Divine Tribulation Cultivator who survives their trials can manifest this wheel behind them. When it appears, it signifies a cultivator capable of striking with their full, unbridled power.”
Xie Yushen explained this to the Underworld Yama with a glowing sense of pride, as if he were a teacher lecturing a student.
He was savoring this terrifying new power for the first time.
He didn't want the feeling to end, but he knew he couldn't stall forever.
Boom——
He looked down.
Xie Yushen took a step, the Luck Golden Lotus spinning beneath him.
In a flash, he was standing right in front of the Underworld Yama.
A golden lotus descended from his palm, trapping the Underworld Yama within a crushing wave of heavenly might…
“With this destiny, I am invincible against anyone below the God Realm!”
“Even if this invincibility only lasts as long as a stick of incense, it is still absolute! Hahahaha!”
Xie Yushen’s laughter rang out.
Under the weight of such heavenly power, who could possibly stand against him?
But then——
Xie Yushen’s laughter was cut short.
To his shock, a massive chessboard suddenly materialized beneath the Underworld Yama’s feet.
The chessboard expanded rapidly within the golden lotus, miraculously tearing through the domain of heavenly might that the Luck Golden Lotus provided!
Suddenly, Xie Yushen found himself trapped within the chessboard’s domain.
Then…
An overwhelming, crushing pressure from heaven and earth slammed into him.
Xie Yushen’s legs buckled, and with a heavy thud…
He was forced to his knees!
He looked up in horror, sensing his "invincible" aura rapidly draining away.
It plummeted lower and lower…
Until his power leveled out at the rank of an ordinary Absolute Peak.
“What?!”
Xie Yushen stared upward.
There, he saw the Underworld Yama clenching his hand into a devastating fist.
Behind the Yama, eight stars erupted with a blinding, magnificent light!
“Eight… eight stars?”
Xie Yushen was paralyzed with disbelief.
“Invincible below the God Realm?”
“That would be me.”
Boom——!!!
The fist struck!
The golden light surrounding Xie Yushen shattered instantly.
Even with destiny at his back…
He was blown apart in a violent explosion!
