As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1618 - 426: Becoming the Pillar of the Family in Father’s Place, Burning Away Five Regions of the Corrupted World—King Yan Is Actually the Ghost Emperor [Monthly Ticket Request]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
One Calamity, Two Calamities, or Three Calamities?
At the minimum, Li Che feels confident that the Great Supervising Minister vastly outpowers individuals like Zhao Beidou and Gu Qianchi.
Even the Old Dragon God cannot stand against him.
"A master surpassing even the Underworld Yama..."
Li Che let out a chuckle.
"There is."
Li Che offered Fang Hanshu a firm response.
As long as he wills it, such a being exists.
Although at present, he hasn't identified who ranks higher than Yama.
Yet that doesn't prevent Li Che from bragging to Fang Hanshu.
"Then the Qian Yuan Divine Sect's safety... ought to be secured."
Fang Hanshu's eyes gleamed while he grinned.
He lingered briefly in the courtyard before cupping his fists in respect and elegantly taking his leave.
As he observed Fang Hanshu's departure, a profound light flickered in Li Che's eyes, given his knowledge of the Great Elder's hidden past.
"The God Hunter Killers from the Hunting God Pavilion..."
The Great Elder... truly conceals his depths well.
Maybe, without the Underworld's aid, the Qian Yuan Divine Sect might still endure this ordeal thanks to the Great Elder's profound secrets.
However, the price paid would undoubtedly be much steeper than it is presently.
He made his way back to the study.
Li Che lightly tapped his forehead, sending the Heaven and Earth chessboard flying upward.
A single flick from his finger.
All of a sudden.
The ethereal form of Gu Changqing's soul began to materialize gradually.
"Greetings, my Lord!"
Beyond that, two Confining God Children stood next to Gu Changqing, their cheeks flushed, cute and compliant, clad in apprentice garments as they trailed behind him, offering a respectful but slightly awkward bow.
"Greetings, my Lord!"
The pair of apprentices chimed together.
Li Che beamed widely, waving his finger to release a few ready-made sweets from the Qiankun Space, letting the two Alchemy Children delight in munching them with joy.
His attention turned, settling on Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing's gaze ignited with fervor as he lifted his robe and produced a blue-green jade bottle.
"My Lord, I have succeeded!"
"Here is the Evading Tribulation Wind Pill, refined successfully from a single set of materials to produce three pills."
This had been commissioned by Lv Taibai, with Li Che tasking the Underworld's Alchemy Master to create it.
At last, the task stood finished.
"Good."
With a smile, Li Che passed the pill to the Painting Immortal Avatar, directing it to rush the delivery straight to Lv Taibai.
Lv Taibai sought to advance into the Divine Tribulation Realm amid the Qian Yuan Divine Sect's looming threat, suppressing a surging torrent of power that could perfectly aid his breakthrough.
Should this chance slip away, facing another Divine Tribulation later would likely raise the odds of failure significantly.
Moreover, the Evading Tribulation Wind Pill boosts the chances of success by multiple percentage points.
Naturally, should Lv Taibai's breakthrough fail, that would be acceptable as well...
You could always reunite as brothers in the Underworld.
"These are the ingredients required for the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill; proceed with accelerating the Poison Pill—how soon will it be ready?"
Li Che asked.
Upon hearing those words, Gu Changqing's eyes lit up with intense excitement.
At long last, he was free to craft the Poison Pill without restraint!
His destiny had been set in motion long ago!
"My Lord, allow me seven days!"
"One day per life; if seven lives fail to forge the Heavenly Poison Pill, it signifies my alchemy prowess falls short, and I shall face the consequences!"
Seven days, is it?
Li Che burst into laughter.
Having sworn his vow, Gu Changqing gathered the supplies and summoned the apprentices—still chewing on their treats—to head back to Mo City alongside him.
The chamber plunged into quietness right away.
Li Che brewed a cup of steaming tea for himself, taking slow sips.
Yet his thoughts drifted to the inquiry from Fang Hanshu.
"Above the Underworld Yama..."
The claim had already been voiced.
Certainly... there couldn't possibly be nobody superior to the Underworld Yama, right?
A subtle glint flashed in his eyes.
The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit in his chest thrummed with power.
In a flash, it ignited the Dao Tribulation.
His entire form disappeared from the spot, stepping into the Dao Tribulation Space...
Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame!
Boom——!!!
Blazing heat erupted without warning, boundless infernos resembling an ocean of fire raged forth, scorching all quarters and devastating the five realms.
Violet fires roiled and churned, charring lands and oceans, shattering peaks and celestial bodies!
Li Che bellowed toward the heavens, his locks whipping fiercely!
Within his gaze, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit surged wildly, unleashing a torrent of golden Qi-blood.
The Martial Immortal Golden Body reached its utmost limit!
Fist clenched tight, streams of Qi-blood wove together, manifesting as golden dragon elephants that lunged forward!
Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant!
A colossal elephant foot, forged from swirling purple flames, slammed against the vast sky overhead!
Boom——!!!
Back within the study.
Li Che's body reappeared in an instant.
His eyes snapped open, blazing with such ferocity that the surrounding air warped from the intensity!
The agony, crushed and quelled by the Dao Tribulation, surged through every fiber of his being at once.
"Hah——"
"Ho——"
An inhalation followed by an exhalation.
The overwhelming rush of heat caused the room's warmth to climb rapidly!
Li Che's radiant golden eyes gleamed vividly before the gold gradually faded away.
The following instant.
A wisp of violet glow began to rise steadily.
As he stood, Li Che extended his five fingers apart.
Between those five lithe digits akin to godly lances, a subtle purple fire danced, warping the void with each flicker.
[Dao Tribulation: Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame (1%)]
Li Che stared at the violet fire, ideas forming in his thoughts.
With fingers splayed, he gently swept the purple flame across, then pressed it against his forehead.
Boom——!!!
The very next moment...
Li Che's whole head became consumed by the purple blaze!
Skin liquefied, tresses incinerated, flesh and blood dissolved, leaving solely the golden skeletal cranium beneath the purple Dao Tribulation Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame glowing ominously!
Resembling a demonic ghost sovereign emerging from Hell, igniting the five impure worlds!
Therefore, beyond the Yama.
Resides the Earthly Ghost Emperor!
