As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1600 - 423: Dao Fruit 5th Transformation Tribulation, Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame; Emperor Xi Xi at Age 7 Seeks to Slay a Martial Saint...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
The well-known space featured the enigmatic Dao Tree, which soared upward piercing the skies, ready to break through the cloud layers in an instant!
Its branches flourished abundantly, leaves resembling scales in shape.
Though the space and Dao Tree felt familiar, their return and fresh examination still delivered boundless astonishment. Was it possible for such a wondrous plant to actually thrive amid heaven and earth?
As Li Che's eyes scanned around, he spotted the [Dragon Elephant Vajra] dangling from the Dao Tree right away, far bigger than the remaining Dao Fruits.
A magnificent radiance emanated from the Dao Fruit, swinging softly.
Curiosity filled Li Che—what alterations would this latest Dao Fruit evolution unleash?
Previously, during the lv6 upgrade, the Dao Fruit had cast off its outer layer to spawn the Dao Guide, a profoundly arcane event from which Li Che reaped huge gains.
But now?
He couldn't fathom it; speculation proved futile.
Rather than ponder, Li Che opted to await the Dao Fruit's response.
Boom——!!!
Out of nowhere.
With a resounding "boom", the [Dragon Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruit on the Dao Tree erupted in an infinite blaze of light!
That immense light quickly wrapped around Li Che's soul and consciousness.
Right after...
The view in front of Li Che started to warp and shift.
It felt like his whole existence was ascending to immortality while plunging into infinite emptiness, wandering without direction.
Swirling seven-colored glassy lights danced relentlessly around him.
A vision gradually revealed itself ahead, pulling him right into its midst.
Within the vision.
A mighty river surged endlessly, thundering and crashing as it cut through the vast shadowy expanse, battling to preserve the glow.
Upon that river loomed a silhouette, confronting the infinite gloom with savage roars!
Li Che's pupils contracted a bit, observing as if from outside the cosmos, witnessing that form unleash a colossal and fearsome blood Qi, where each bit appeared to hold roaring Dragon Elephants; every pore, acupoint, and cell brimmed with a Dragon Elephant!
The figure resembled an apex savage creature of ultimate dread!
Though tiny on the river, that form inspired terror surpassing the world itself.
The potent blood Qi fused with wild fury, forming streams of force that lashed across the skies and voids, shattering the darkness into ceaseless explosions!
What could that be...
Li Che's gaze tightened.
Even with his formidable Martial Immortal Golden Body, it quivered now under a primal pressure assaulting every facet of his strength and will!
Boom——!!!
Abruptly.
The silhouette on what resembled the Tianhe flung open its eyes.
Dazzling golden beams, stretching across the cosmos, emptiness, and ancient origins, surged out majestically, clashing against Li Che's inquisitive stare.
"You... who are you?"
"A successor? Then... I did fall in the end."
"Nine Dao Fruit Transformations, forever out of reach..."
Rumble!!!
Those three phrases struck like the collapse of vast voids!
As a colossal tempest raged, obliterating all in its path!
Mortals weren't meant to catch such celestial echoes.
Instantly, Li Che's mind and soul pulled back from the vision, even fleeing the expansive Dao Tree realm.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh——
Gasping heavily, Li Che's eyes bulged wide, pupils shrunk to pinpoints.
A searing blaze, like molten forge fire, threatened to liquefy his organs, bones, and every blood cell.
At this instant, the Martial Immortal Golden Body faced a strain like igniting eight Qimen Divine Seeds.
Skin, blood, acupoints, meridians, bones...
Every part throbbed with infinite agony!
Still, Li Che held his eyes open, shock and confusion etched deeply in them.
"That individual... was he the former bearer of the Dragon Elephant Dao Fruit?"
"Hold on, the Dragon Elephant Dao Fruit's owner, or perhaps the Dao Tree's cultivator?"
Waves churned wildly in Li Che's heart, not from the foe's crushing might, but rather...
In that brief sight, he detected the essence of Dao Fruit on the figure.
The vision could have been an echo from the river of time.
And that one, likely the prior lord of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit?
A Dao Fruit Master?!
He appeared to have elevated the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit to its peak, each move carrying world-shattering force.
Such an entity...
Utterly intimidating!
Yet what stunned Li Che more was... the declarations from that one, echoing like godly incantations.
Nine Dao Fruit Transformations, forever out of reach?
Meaning...
The Dao Fruit... possesses nine transformations?
And even such a powerhouse couldn't achieve them?!
Thus, this titan met defeat and demise?!
As he gradually nurtures the Dao Fruit through transformations, does he follow this Dao Fruit Master's trail?
"No... no, that's incorrect... he possessed just one Dao Fruit, while I have... several..."
Confusion clouded Li Che's thoughts.
The link tying the Dao Fruit, Dao Tree, and his daughter concealed a profound mystery.
In Mo City.
Torrents of rain fell in thick sheets.
Standing amid Mo City, Li Che drew breaths deep and fierce like a wild predator; he steadied his feelings, extending his frame. Fueled by the Dao Fruit's evolution, his reshaped body exploded with dread power, winds howling nearby, his dark locks cracking with sharp pops!
