As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1554: 413: Qian Yuan Divine Sect Is Not the Equal Heaven Temple of Old, Eight Gates Open and Gods Dance Their Last in the Human World
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
The generals remained silent after hearing his declaration. To them, every sect was merely another target to be besieged; they didn't concern themselves with such trivial distinctions.
However, Gu Qianchi’s brow furrowed slightly. He was puzzled by the hidden meaning in Xie Yushen’s words. Attacking another Divine Sect?
Which one would it be?
There was a clear justification for striking the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, but what pretext existed for the others?
Currently, among the various Divine Sects that refused to submit to the Imperial Court, the Qian Yuan Divine Sect was viewed as the most vulnerable target...
Could it be the South Sea Bamboo Forest? The Xiling Small Lingyin Temple? Or perhaps... the Heavenly Master Dao Purple Mansion Divine Sect?!
Any of those Divine Sects possessed power far exceeding that of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect!
“The Underworld used some strange method to whisk away Venerable Zhao Beidou... I wonder what his current status is?”
Gu Qianchi didn't dwell on those strategic concerns for long; as long as the Imperial army never marched upon the Bashu Sword Pavilion, he was satisfied.
Only then did his thoughts drift toward Zhao Beidou.
Still, he wasn't particularly anxious. After all, Zhao Beidou was a Divine Tribulation expert. How could a mighty Divine Tribulation figure perish so easily?
...
Qianyuan Dao City.
Snowflakes drifted through the cold air.
Countless figures stood like statues atop the city walls, their resolve firm.
The Qiankun plaque ascended toward the heavens, ripping through the void to reveal the figure of Grandmaster Qian Yuan, Lv Qiankun.
“What a regret...”
With his profound vision, Lv Qiankun had witnessed Xie Yushen tapping into the power of the Luck Golden Lotus, which had caused the Underworld’s assassination attempt to fail.
Had the strike succeeded and Xie Yushen fallen, the Imperial Court would have surely retreated, granting the Qian Yuan Divine Sect a temporary reprieve...
Sensing nothing more, Lv Qiankun withdrew into the Small Cave Heaven within the Qiankun plaque, keeping a silent vigil at the mountain gate.
Meanwhile, Feng Zhiqi, Hong Shifu, and the others—who had originally set out to witness the clash—returned to Qianyuan Dao City. As the Luck Golden Lotus erupted and confirmed the failed assassination, they immediately began preparing for the coming siege.
A heavy, suffocating atmosphere weighed on everyone's spirit.
The pressure was as crushing as a mountain!
Under the looming threat of the Imperial army, no one dared to slacken. Every individual pushed themselves to their limits, desperate to grow stronger before the inevitable conflict began.
Feng Zhiqi inhaled deeply. Having recently reached the Martial Saint Four Transformations, he had felt a surge of confidence, yet now he was acutely aware of his own inadequacies.
There was no room for hesitation; he had to increase his strength, for his fate was now inextricably bound to the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
If the Sect fell, he would surely be swallowed by the disaster.
He couldn't help but stare intensely toward the Divine Sect Mountain Gate.
Lv Taibai was currently in seclusion attempting a breakthrough. Would he actually succeed?
Even if he did, would it truly change the outcome?
For a single sect to stand against the full might of the Imperial Court was an incredibly grueling prospect.
After all, the Qian Yuan Divine Sect...
Was no longer the Equal Heaven Temple of old!
...
Boom——!!!
The entirety of Mo City shook violently as terrifying collisions erupted repeatedly!
The earth split and mountains crumbled!
Massive cracks snaked across the ground of Mo City, with scorching steam hissing out from the depths of the fissures.
Boom!
The ground collapsed into a massive crater as a hand made of bone-white fire slammed down. A figure erupted with an unbelievable surge of Qi-blood that shot toward the sky, creating a thunderous blast that sent shockwaves rippling outward in layers!
“Is fleeing all you can do?”
Zhao Beidou hovered in mid-air, his voice freezing and his eyes filled with a terrifying chill.
His gaze locked onto the retreating form of the Underworld Yama, a mocking sneer playing on his lips.
Despite the Underworld Yama possessing an unrivaled physical body and peerless martial skills, he was still too fragile when faced with the power of the White Netherworld Tribulation Fire.
If he could just seize one opening, he could utterly annihilate this insect.
“This Small Cave Heaven... is on the verge of total collapse.”
Zhao Beidou’s eyes flickered as he scanned the ruins of Mo City. Not a single stone remained unturned, and the web of cracks on the ground suggested the realm was about to fail.
If the fight persisted, the Small Cave Heaven might not be able to contain the energy and would eventually shatter in a violent explosion.
Suddenly, Zhao Beidou felt he shouldn't let the Small Cave Heaven break.
If it shattered, the Underworld Yama might find a desperate path to escape and survive.
Consequently, Zhao Beidou began to pull back some of his Tribulation Fire power.
Li Che’s eyes glowed with a golden brilliance. He planted his feet firmly as the ground disintegrated beneath him.
He suddenly looked up, his golden eyes burning with an intense fighting spirit.
A ferocious, overwhelming battle intent erupted from Li Che’s chest at that moment!
He slammed his palms together with force.
Deep within his chest, the [Lei-Ci Dao Body] Dao Fruit began to throb violently!
Innumerable black-gold lightning bolts surged out like massive pythons and jiao dragons. Amidst the crumbling mountains and cracking earth, they wove into a Prison Thunder Sky Net, sealing Zhao Beidou inside.
“Hmm?!”
“Shenxiao Thunder?!”
Zhao Beidou’s eyes widened slightly in shock.
This Underworld Yama actually commanded the power of the Shenxiao Thunder disaster?
“However, it is far too weak...”
The intensity of this Shenxiao Thunder was simply insufficient.
Watching the Prison Thunder Sky Net form a cage around him, Zhao Beidou gave a soft laugh. He curled his fingers, and the pale White Netherworld Tribulation Fire instantly condensed into a sharp blade that slashed outward.
He tore through the lightning seal with a single strike!
Suddenly.
A chill ran down Zhao Beidou’s spine.
The Underworld Yama he had been hunting relentlessly had vanished the very moment he straightened his posture!
Meanwhile, Li Che wore his black-and-white Yama mask. His clothes were shredded, exposing a powerful Horizontal Refining Body that looked as if it were cast from flawless gold.
As the Prison Thunder Sky Net momentarily occupied Zhao Beidou, Li Che raised his fingers and tapped his own forehead.
The Heaven and Earth chessboard expanded, casting its net wide.
A Heaven and Earth Soul appeared, seemingly placing a decisive piece upon the board.
