As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1595 - 422: Soul Capturing Tribulation Reveals the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Unprecedented Dragon Elephant Vajra Level 7
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
The gale howls relentlessly, tearing through the masonry of Mo City Fengdu. Debris tumbles across the earth, filling the space between heaven and sky with a constant, scraping roar.
Thump, thump, thump—!
A heart beats with the force of thunder, exploding rhythmically like winter storms hidden behind a thick veil of clouds. It is a violent vibration, utterly impossible to restrain!
Driven by this pulse, the blood within the body surges wildly. It races through the meridians like high-pressure water gushing through a narrow pipe!
Li Che’s gaze is piercing. He waits with bated breath for the Soul Capturing of his first Divine Tribulation Cultivator. This moment is vital to his future arrangements, as this soul could potentially manifest as his most formidable combat asset!
Naturally, he places immense value on the birth of this specific Soul Capturing.
Furthermore, because Li Che’s own cultivation currently remains at the Four-Open Martial Saint level, a seed of doubt lingers regarding whether he can successfully seize a soul of the Divine Tribulation rank.
Fortunately, Zhao Beidou was merely a One Disaster One Tribulation Realm Soul. Had he reached the One Calamity and Two Tribulations Realm, Li Che would have possessed little confidence in the outcome.
Li Che’s physical form is massive and powerful. Golden Qi-Blood erupts from his thirty-six thousand pores like a thick mist, swirling upward like the lingering curls of Jiaoshe incense smoke.
Exuding a terrifying aura akin to a God or a Demon, he begins to utter low chants that seem to vibrate from the deepest reaches of the Netherworld.
Under this pressure, time itself within Mo City Fengdu appears to grind to a halt!
"Soul Return!"
With fingers spread wide, he aims his palm directly at the cold, lifeless remains of Zhao Beidou.
Soul Capturing!
His voice resonates deeply, mimicking the low incantations of an ancient priest performing a ritual across a desolate plain. It is a sound that flings wide the gates to summon the departed, dragging the dead back from the depths of the Netherworld!
Rumble—
A sudden, marrow-chilling frost descends!
In the following breath, the rattling of frigid chains echoes through the air. One after another, the sounds reverberate as if the very fabric of space is being shattered.
Slowly, the atmosphere at the center of Mo City begins to buckle and tear, opening an impossibly dark, boundless black hole!
One cannot see where it ends!
Within that void, freezing chains intertwine with strands that are simultaneously fiery and icy, merging two diametrically opposed forces!
The far end of these chains appears to be coiled around a blurred, indistinct shape.
From within the fractured void, an ink-thick, terrifying aura spills forth continuously.
The sphere of darkness writhes and shifts, gradually molding itself into a human silhouette...
Amidst the clatter of chains, a Daoist robe embroidered with the Dragon and Tiger motifs flutters.
Though the ink-black form expands and fills out, it remains a faceless entity.
Li Che narrows his eyes, observing as the Soul Capturing struggles to manifest a head. It is unable to form facial features, as though the soul is being held back by a colossal, unseen power!
"As expected... another anomaly has surfaced!"
"The Netherworld?"
Li Che’s eyes shimmer with intensity as he raises a hand to touch his Niwan point.
Instantly, flesh and blood part to reveal a brilliant burst of golden light. Like a focused beam of illumination, a dazzling, cross-shaped golden gemstone erupts forth.
Divine Power·Star-Picking Eyes!
Endless Analysis, Peering into Illusion and Returning to Truth!
Utilizing the perception of the Star-Picking Eyes, Li Che stares into the jagged rupture in the void.
He looks past Zhao Beidou’s ink-like silhouette...
Boom—!!!
In a flash, as if scarlet lightning has struck, the Tongyou Divine Ability is triggered.
Suddenly, Li Che perceives a city bathed in the glow of flowing scarlet light!
It is vast beyond measure, anchored within the Netherworld. Majestic and ancient, scarlet dust rises slowly from its streets, carried by a phantom wind!
From atop that city, chains descend one by one. With a rhythmic clanging, they entwine themselves around Zhao Beidou’s form!
The entire world falls into a deathly silence.
"Uh—"
Accompanied by a low, guttural groan, Li Che’s Star-Picking Eyes sweep across the city tower, spotting a figure bound as tightly as a cocoon by the chains.
That is...
Li Che’s pupils instinctively contract.
It is Zhao Beidou’s actual soul!
Standing behind Zhao Beidou’s soul is a figure clad in full armor, clutching the other end of the chain. This entity stands upon the tower, noisily gnawing on blood-stained bones.
As if it has sensed the gaze of the Star-Picking Eyes.
The entity slowly turns its head...
Bang!!!
Li Che’s Star-Picking Eyes vision snaps back instantly.
The world returns to the clarity of the present.
"A blood-red city gate deep within the Netherworld?"
Li Che frowns, remembering a similar occurrence when he captured Yue Huanglong.
At that time, he only had Yue Huanglong’s description to go by.
But this time, he has witnessed it with his own eyes.
"Does this world truly possess the six paths of reincarnation? Is there a genuine Netherworld for rebirth?"
If he persists in capturing souls, will he eventually collide with the sovereign forces of reincarnation and the Netherworld?
Underworld meeting Underworld?!
Inexplicably...
A heavy pressure weighs on Li Che’s heart.
He hesitates for a fleeting moment.
Should he stop and forsake the Soul Capturing?!
No! That is impossible!
He must capture it; he definitely will!
Why should he not seize the souls of enemies he has personally slain?!
Li Che’s eyes blaze with renewed brilliance. His determination hardens, and he casts aside his doubts.
Spreading his five fingers, the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod manifests instantly. The rod shifts into a razor-sharp blade, which he thrusts violently into the faceless head of the Soul Capturing.
