As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1559 - 414: Martial Dao Will Ascends the Mountain to 10,000 Zhang, Pure Martial 100% Forges Martial Immortal Golden Body [Monthly Ticket Requested]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Gu Qianchi’s gaunt visage remained largely devoid of emotion, yet the hand providing Dao Yun to Zhao Beidou’s back subtly pulled away.
Zhao Beidou felt the shift immediately. Being a seasoned old fox, he understood that Xie Yushen’s blatant display of favor toward the Dragon Tiger Divine Sect had naturally provoked Gu Qianchi’s displeasure.
While Zhao Beidou had intended to rely on Gu Qianchi’s assistance to mend his wounds, Xie Yushen drew him aside. The State Preceptor began a meticulous interrogation regarding the events within the Small Cave Heaven, expressing a deep desire to grasp every detail of Zhao Beidou’s brutal struggle against the Underworld Yama.
Concerned that he might accidentally injure the seemingly delicate Xie Yushen, Zhao Beidou attempted to gently retract his hand. To his surprise, despite using no strength, he found himself unable to break free...
The State Preceptor...
Was truly enthusiastic.
Since these injuries would not be mended in a mere day or two regardless, Zhao Beidou decided they might as well converse first.
...
...
Buzz—!
The very fabric of the void shuddered.
Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
Outer Sect, Disciple City, Elder Court.
The study room.
The air twisted momentarily before a violent turbulent flow erupted, seemingly tearing the atmosphere apart.
Li Che’s figure materialized instantly, emerging from the distortion.
Donning the Yama Mask, his body was a tapestry of golden Qi-blood and savage wounds, though every single injury had already begun to scab over.
The Heaven and Earth chessboard was spread across the study room’s ceiling.
It ensured the room’s aura was perfectly sealed, preventing even the smallest trace of fluctuation from escaping.
Bang bang bang bang—
Dull echoes rang out continuously, sounding like a vortex of Qi-blood hammering and crackling with intensity.
After a short while, the aura surrounding Li Che began to settle.
Removing the Yama Mask, Li Che’s skeleton and muscles emitted crisp cracks. The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit pulsed, and as Slumbering Dragon Elephant was triggered, his Qi-blood regained its equilibrium.
Having changed into a fresh, neat black shirt adorned with a golden lotus embroidered by his wife, Zhang Ya, Li Che took a seat. He poured a cup of steaming tea and drained it in a single gulp.
He let out a slow, long breath.
Li Che’s eyes shimmered with light, and his thick, dark hair crackled incessantly against the surrounding air.
He felt a flicker of regret for failing to slay the Divine Tribulation Cultivator this time.
However, the feeling was fleeting.
Within his mind, the Heaven and Earth chessboard acted like a rotating gallery of images, replaying every moment of the confrontation.
"In truth, I possessed the opportunity to finish Zhao Beidou during that fight. Even though I forcibly ignited the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the Eighth Qimen Immortal Seed—and even though the detonation was incomplete—the power I harnessed had genuinely reached the level of a Martial God!"
"Furthermore, the potency of the Immortal Seed... far surpassed my anticipations. It is significantly more powerful than a Divine Seed, and the explosive force it provides is even greater!"
"The Qilin Suppressing Seal... despite me only reaching the entry-level and being unable to fully manifest the seal, a single punch under the Qilin Suppressing Void was enough to tear through Zhao Beidou’s physical form!"
"It is a pity that Mo City was first battered by Zhao Beidou and then forced to endure the backlash of me detonating my Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Ultimately, it could not hold, shattering spectacularly and entering its self-repair state."
Li Che’s gaze intensified.
This was not his first time experiencing Mo City’s self-repair mode.
Now that his Fruit of the Heavenly Dao from Within the Painting had reached lv6, the speed at which Mo City repaired itself was far beyond anything he had seen before.
"Actually... even if Mo City hadn't broken, it would have been unable to sustain the pressure of a second strike."
Li Che shook his head. Even if he had summoned the second Dominator Avatar...
Mo City had reached its limit.
While the Dominator Avatar is the one that takes the damage, it serves primarily as a vessel; in reality, the injuries Li Che sustains are all transferred to Mo City.
"In the end... my Martial Arts Realm is simply too low."
He exhaled a breath of murky air.
He was well aware of his own limits. Had his Martial Cultivation been superior and his Pure Martial Purity higher, allowing for the total detonation of the Eighth Qimen Immortal Seed...
Zhao Beidou would be dead.
On the whole, Li Che was satisfied with the encounter, as it provided him with a clear benchmark for his current combat strength.
"Had Mo City been at its peak, it could have supported two of my punches. With two strikes, Zhao Beidou would have perished!"
If one punch isn't enough, one simply delivers another...
Such is the purity of a Martial Artist!
There was also another factor: killing Zhao Beidou at this moment...
Would not guarantee a successful Soul Capturing!
This was primarily due to the significant gap between Zhao Beidou’s cultivation realm and his own.
While Li Che boasted immense combat power, his actual Martial Path Realm and Divinity Realm were still lacking.
Soul Capturing required specific conditions; a massive disparity in cultivation could lead to failure.
For instance, those at the Half-step Martial God or Half-step Divine Tribulation stages are technically still Martial Saints or Divine Fetuses, despite being on the verge of the God Realm. Since they remain within the same major realm as Li Che, Soul Capturing is easily achieved.
However, a true Divine Tribulation expert was far beyond his current reach.
If Li Che could advance to the Martial Saint Four Transformations and reach the Absolute Peak Level, the gap between him and the Divine Tribulation realm would shrink to a single minor realm...
Only then would there be a high chance of a successful Soul Capturing.
Otherwise, failing the process and wasting a Divine Tribulation soul would be a source of deep regret for Li Che.
"Well, Zhao Beidou’s life... is merely being kept on ice for the time being."
A faint smile played on Li Che’s lips.
With Zhao Beidou so gravely wounded...
Taking his life would be as effortless as reaching into a bag to retrieve an item.
After all, during their clash, Li Che had habitually planted a white chess piece upon Zhao Beidou’s person.
"With Xie Yushen keeping Zhao Beidou in check... as long as he doesn't run—and honestly, even if he does—he is a dead man."
After finalizing his plans and confirming that Zhao Beidou was essentially a pig on a chopping block, Li Che felt his tension vanish instantly.
