As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1612 - 425: Emperor Xi Xi Kills and Runs—So Thrilling! The Children Live Happily in Fengdu [Monthly Ticket Requested]
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
At the ruins' border, small stones tumbled across the earth, and as a silhouette advanced, the rocks beneath instantly cracked and crumbled into fine powder.
Clad in the Bull Demon Mask, Li Che flung his arms out wide, the nine key sinews across his back suddenly pulling taut, like dragon vertebrae straining against his backbone, on the verge of ripping free from his skin and muscle.
A cracking noise rang out as the Pill Furnace burst apart...
Exposing a massive, bizarre form within, looking just like a toad...
To everyone's shock, concealed in this Pill Furnace was a Human Head Toad.
"A clone? Looks like his true consciousness has shifted into this Human Head Toad... that explains why it's so feeble."
Beneath the Bull Demon Mask, Li Che's eyes gleamed with an eerie light.
No surprise that when this Grandmaster acted, there was no stir from the Will of Heaven and Earth, no sign of an impending catastrophe.
The Yangxuan Grandmaster from the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, whom Li Che had once held in high regard—even now, with Li Che's cultivation showing real progress, both his Martial Immortal Golden Body and Martial Cultivation had advanced.
Yet against a true Divine Tribulation Cultivator who wasn't wounded like Zhao Beidou, Li Che wouldn't dare take them lightly at all.
After all, against an enemy who refused to die, even the tiniest lapse could turn into a weakness the foe exploited and savagely ripped open.
But if it's merely a clone that can't summon the Power of Tribulation, then there's no cause for worry.
With a snap of his finger, a dark Confining God Chess piece swelled and warped, shifting into the likeness of Gu Changqing.
Li Che aimed at the Human Head Toad emerging from the broken Pill Furnace.
"This is... the Human Head Toad Furnace belonging to the Yangxuan Grandmaster, and the Human Head Toad Pill within it—it's a Heavenly Pill forged using the Divine Power of the Toad Temple God, infused with the Yangxuan Grandmaster's will, acting as his clone roaming the mortal realm!"
Gu Changqing looked stunned but quickly explained it to Li Che.
"The Human Head Toad Furnace works like the Three Lives Body Technique from the Buddhist Sect, and the Heavenly Pill Avatar Technique in our sect that stems from it..."
"Still, it's far more advanced than the Heavenly Pill Avatar Technique, since... this Human Head Toad Furnace holds the will of a Divine Tribulation Great Cultivator."
Gu Changqing spoke with deep respect.
He felt baffled too, wondering how the Lord managed to smash a Grandmaster's Toad Furnace.
"So... you refer to this revolting creature as an Elixir?"
Li Che's low voice resounded.
This Human Head Toad possessed real strength and odd techniques, but it only matched a supreme peak level, not even touching half-step Divine Tribulation.
Dealing with it posed no challenge for Li Che at all.
Gu Changqing offered a deferential, flattering grin: "Lord, this Human Head Toad Furnace comes in four parts altogether, known as the Four-direction Human Head Toad Furnace—its creation method is odd, needing the vital blood of young children to brew... yet its effects are outstanding... hugely helpful for Divine Cultivation, with the Temple God's Divinity melded inside..."
A flicker of revulsion crossed Li Che's gaze.
Even though he'd already wiped out the Divine Tribulation Heavenly Dao Soul lurking in this Human Head Toad Pill.
Li Che had zero intention of swallowing this elixir...
"Lord, if you're not keen on taking this elixir, might you grant it to me? I could employ it as a base to craft a Poison Pill..."
Gu Changqing cupped his hands and bowed low, showing utmost deference.
He yearned to advance himself and prove his worth to the Lord.
At those words, Li Che arched a brow: "Crafting that Poison Pill... the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill?"
"No..."
Gu Changqing shook his head smilingly, then added with some awkwardness: "As an Alchemy Saint... I know a little about the Poison Dao too."
"I'm thinking of creating my own Poison Pill..."
Li Che saw no issue with that, so with a sweeping gesture, he passed the Human Head Toad Pill straight to Gu Changqing.
"Lord, the Human Head Toad Furnaces split into four directions, each holding a share of the Yangxuan Grandmaster's Heaven and Earth Soul Will—they're placed at the four edges of Guangling Dao City, using the Human Head Toad Pill to produce Elixir Qi and other elixirs..."
"Now that this Human Head Toad Furnace is destroyed, the Yangxuan Grandmaster must sense it by now... the Little Lord could be at risk."
Gu Changqing recalled something and spoke up quickly.
Li Che's eyes glinted under the Bull Demon Mask at that: "Oh? Doesn't matter."
"If he really seeks death that badly, then let him strike and learn the hard way."
Li Che replied coolly, his voice brimming with assurance and ferocity.
Should that Yangxuan Grandmaster actually dare to strike, Li Che wouldn't hesitate to show him the terror of challenging the Divine Tribulation without fear.
Zhao Beidou, that Divine Tribulation Soul Capturer, hadn't even acted yet!
Gu Changqing sensed the powerful self-assurance radiating from Li Che and knew his concerns were pointless—he bowed his head deeply, full of reverence.
Li Che splayed his fingers, and the Human Head Toad Pill rose up at once, hovering before him.
In the Inner Scene of the Energy Center.
The Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart pulsed fiercely.
It boomed like thunder, Pure Heart Divinity streaming softly like a calm river.
Rinsing over that Human Head Toad Pill.
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish——
All at once, a piercing wail filled the air!
Gradually, a Heaven and Earth Dao Soul buried deep in the elixir emerged, writhing in panic, as if in dread, and it shot upward toward the sky with haste.
"A gift for you."
Li Che eyed the Heaven and Earth Dao Soul from the Divine Tribulation Great Cultivator that he'd seized, and gave it to Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing's face lit up with delight at the sight!
"Thank you, Lord!"
Gu Changqing's Soul Capturing abruptly lifted its head, its gaze blazing scarlet, launching skyward to pursue that Heaven and Earth Dao Soul of the Divine Tribulation.
Grandmaster... you've been slighted!
