Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Crack crack—!!!
Thunder boomed across the celestial dome as leaden clouds swirled and a blizzard shrieked!
The Grand Canal’s tidal currents surged violently, tossing up waves that resembled cascading avalanches!
Hand-sized snowflakes drifted down from the obsidian cloud layers while winter thunder detonated in the heavens!
As the premier man-made waterway within the Dajing Border, the river was steeped in the divinity of countless enigmatic temples, imbuing every drop of water with divine power. Consequently, even during the harshest freezes and heaviest snows, this mighty river never turned to ice!
Nine-layered Profound Iron Spirit Wood Warships belonging to the imperial army were moored along the bank, their massive chains encased in frost and draped with icicles.
Yet, as the river water crashed against the hulls—which were etched with gruesome, fierce, and terrifying patterns—it whipped up turbulent whitecaps!
Hidden beneath the surface of the river...
Lurked a colossal shadow, even larger than the warships themselves. It was dimly visible through the ambient glow of heaven and earth—an overwhelmingly dominant silhouette stretching over ten zhang along the riverbed.
In truth, ten zhang was merely the size this behemoth maintained while suppressing its form; if it were to unleash its full scale, it could span a hundred zhang, or even a thousand!
This gargantuan creature was a peak powerhouse of the Dragon God Clan: the Dragon God Crown Prince!
He held the ninth rank on the Great Supervising Minister’s Heavenly Gate ranking!
Rumble—!!!
Abruptly, for reasons unknown, the river erupted with thundering waves as frothing white water rolled and searing currents of air surged forth.
In the murky depths, myriad water plants writhed and coiled.
Suddenly, those massive dragon eyes ignited with a brilliant radiance...
"You are..."
"Bull Demon?!"
The Dragon God Crown Prince’s eyes snapped open, his heart trembling with shock!
The Netherworld Ox Demon?!
Why had the Netherworld Ox Demon appeared before him?!
What was his intent?
"Didn't the Divine Tribulation Cultivator, Zhao Beidou, claim... that he had slaughtered every fierce entity in the underworld?"
Hadn't even the underworld's primary stronghold, the Fengdu City Small Cave Heaven, been annihilated by him?
How could the Netherworld Ox Demon manifest here now?
He stared at the figure standing before him with arms crossed. The stranger's black hair lashed through the water like dark lightning, shattering the current into fine mist. It was a monumental silhouette.
Simply by drifting in the depths, his scorching, boiling Qi-blood exerted a crushing pressure, as if the phantom forms of a dragon and elephant loomed behind the Bull Demon, gazing down at a mere little loach.
The Dragon God Crown Prince’s mind struggled to comprehend the situation, but a sudden, overwhelming sense of peril caused his dragon scales to flare, as if immense heat were erupting from within.
His massive draconic frame prepared to strike.
However...
The Bull Demon, standing as immovable as a mountain, slowly reached out and pressed his palm down upon the dragon's head.
His five fingers tightened!
Nine strands of ferocious, trembling Angry Dragon muscles rippled across the Bull Demon’s broad back. Terrifying strength detonated as blood, thick as mercury, surged through his veins!
Boom—!!!
Countless water currents disintegrated instantly.
Simultaneously, a portal as black as ink manifested behind the Bull Demon.
With a mere flick of his wrist, the Dragon God Crown Prince’s enormous body was swung with brute force and hurled into the massive gateway—a silent gash torn into the mortal realm by the Netherworld!
Like a famished nightmare, the portal opened wide and completely devoured the Dragon God Crown Prince’s immense divinity.
In the distance.
The three dormant Dragon Sons were jolted awake!
The moment the Dragon God Crown Prince’s aura vanished, they snapped into consciousness!
Yet, upon waking, they were met with the Bull Demon’s ruthless grasp. With a single stride that carved a massive void in the water, he launched the Dragon Sons one after another like projectiles. Gripped by a single hand each, the staggering force left the Dragon Sons powerless to resist as they were forcibly consumed by the gates of Mo City Fengdu.
Above the river's surface, a Heaven and Earth chessboard spread out silently, perfectly masking their desperate struggles without allowing a single breath of aura to escape.
On the riverbank.
Within the imperial army encampment.
Gu Qianchi, who was meditating inside a Divine Talisman Array to hide from the detection of the Heaven and Earth Will’s Three Calamities, and the recovering Zhao Beidou both felt a faint disturbance in their Heaven and Earth Souls.
It was a primal instinct, a premonition of approaching crisis.
However, when the two opened their eyes and scanned with their Heaven and Earth Souls, they found nothing out of the ordinary.
The world remained tranquil; the blizzard persisted, and the river flowed as it always had.
...
...
Mo City, Fengdu!
Whish—!!!
Although the entirety of Mo City had not been restored to its peak state, the shattered voids and cracked earth within the city had already mended. Its resilience and power had ascended to a new level!
Rumble!
A thunderous roar erupted, causing all of Mo City to vibrate slightly. The rainwater pooled on the ground was instantly jolted into the air, bursting into massive splashes.
The ten-zhang long body of the Dragon God Crown Prince writhed and thrashed upon the ground.
"Roar—!!!"
A resonant dragon cry exploded as massive amounts of Qi-blood and demon energy clashed fiercely.
The Dragon God Crown Prince was consumed by a mixture of shock and incandescent rage!
A light began to glow within his belly; it was the Dragon Emperor Pearl, fully activated and shimmering with brilliance.
The Dragon God Crown Prince’s aura began to climb at a staggering pace, instantly surpassing the limits of a top-level peak and reaching the realm of a half-step Dragon God!
