As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1619 - 427: Purgatory Opens, Earthly Hell’s Evil Welcomes the Ghost Emperor; The State Preceptor Is the Imperial Court’s Loyal Dragon God—Trust Me [Monthly Ticket Requested]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
The purple flames rage on, incinerating vast mountains and evaporating endless seas, hushed but fiercely scorching!
Silently, the flame warps the surrounding space step by step, turning the empty void into mere kindling.
Within the study room.
Li Che remains still, but his whole presence has shifted dramatically, his head now wrapped in violet fire, with skin, flesh, and locks all dissolved away, reduced to ashes.
Just the gleaming bones of the Martial Immortal Golden Body endure, contorting and searing beneath the purple blaze!
Employing the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame as this Tao Tribulation Power for a fresh disguise over his features, the fire hides his true face entirely, shaping him into a sinister ghost emperor rising from the depths of hell.
A fearsome, overbearing, devouring energy steadily emanates from Li Che’s form.
The violet Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame even erupts with a dreadful calamity essence, a force that surpasses the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.
Even Zhao Beidou, that mighty Divine Tribulation Cultivator who wields the White Netherworld Tribulation Fire, pales in comparison to the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame, utterly outmatched.
"Earthly Ghost Emperor..."
Li Che’s golden skull shrouded in purple fire, with empty and shadowy eye sockets that hold infinite darkness gleaming inside, forged from pure gold bones, yet those hollows plunge into endless depths like twin Netherworld Vortexes.
"Tao Tribulation Power..."
His five fingers fan out wide.
Pulling the purple fire away from his head in a flash, blood and flesh swiftly reform, hair flows freely, and eyes gleam with sharp light.
Li Che reverts to his true form.
It acts more like a disguise that alters his look, though when it comes to shifting appearances, this method proves direct and savage.
It simply scorches the body and hair to oblivion, sparing only the skeleton unharmed.
Boom—
The Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame coils around his fingers before slamming back onto his head, instantly igniting the blaze to consume his entire skull, his presence surging higher and higher, the nearby space warping utterly, as though an unending, soul-shaking energy keeps pulsing forth.
The purple fire twists and merges into a horrifying, vague silhouette of a Demon Elephant!
The Divine Dragon wraps around the Demon Elephant’s frame, forming the Dragon Elephant Merged Form!
Li Che rises, his dark robe billowing wildly, purple flames dancing, his whole being seeming to become a void that implodes and devours endless energies like a raging whirlwind!
Under the searing fire, from the golden skull’s gaze, everything between heaven and earth turns icy and barren in its stare, reduced to a dim, wicked realm alone.
"Ghost Emperor... Earthly Ghost Emperor!"
"Drawing Tao Tribulation Power into oneself, transforming into the Ghost Emperor!"
Li Che’s bony jaws part and meet, as if drawing breath.
The prolonged inhalation rushes without end, Li Che’s thoughts whirl, and the Heaven and Earth chessboard spreads out at once, enveloping and broadening to seal the study tight, blocking all energy leaks!
In the following instant, Li Che’s frame twitches faintly, and boundless blood qi erupts in a frenzy!
The hidden spine dragon inside his core awakens as if provoked, roaring thunderously from its jaws, unleashing the vast power that lay dormant, all of it stirring to life!
The eight meridian nodes, driven by the blood qi, multiply eight times over, boosting the blood qi in relentless waves!
The Eight Extraordinary Meridians activate all at once!
The roaring, fiery golden blood qi detonates fiercely, floods outward, every one of the thirty-six thousand pores across his body flaring open to release thick, potent blood qi!
A anomaly of a ten-thousand-feet Qi Sea Golden Pond appears, joined by that ten-thousand-feet Martial Arts Mountain, as though his grasp of the martial way up to now bursts into full view right here!
Enveloping the head, charring the whole head down to just the golden bones with the Tao Tribulation Dragon-Elephant Flame, blazing with wild intensity.
At once, the golden Qi Sea Golden Pond takes on a purple hue, evolving into a churning purple Qi Sea, tumbling and seething.
Li Che’s full store of golden blood qi shifts into purple blood qi!
Sinister, chilling, it consumes and eradicates all in its path, like the gates of Hell creaking open, the evil ghost emperor striding forth slowly, commanding the myriad tormented spirits of the purgatory ghost realm.
"What a shame... with the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame, I’ve only got a basic hold on it, far from true control, or else blending the Tao Tribulation Fire into the Eight Extraordinary Meridians’ blood qi would infuse my blood qi... with an extra Tao Tribulation quality!"
Li Che’s gaze flashes.
For the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame, he commands merely a single strand.
The might of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations falls to Divine Tribulations and Martial Gods alone to wield, but Li Che’s cultivation hasn’t hit that stage, yet by drawing on the Tao Tribulation aura of the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame, he can just manage to unleash a presence and crushing might like that of a Divine Tribulation.
"I must push harder to refine the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame."
The greater the amount of Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame he commands, the more Li Che’s Ghost Emperor strength will climb without stop!
Potentially even matching a genuine Divine Tribulation Flame, or going beyond it!
Li Che’s will shifts, pulling his entire self back into the Tao Tribulation Space, and then...
nothing follows that "then", in just one breath, Li Che gets hurled aside by the Primordial Demon Elephant born from the Tao Tribulation Fire.
He shakes his head.
To push the Ghost Emperor’s power to its utmost seems...
A tough path lies ahead.
...
...
Icy clouds drape over summits, fresh snow at dawn weaves a splendid glow.
The outline of Qingshan at the edge of the world, veiled in drifting mists and fog, with the night’s gloom almost impossible to shake.
Divine Capital, First City.
Imperial Palace.
Snowflakes dance down, draping the grand Divine Palace in a coat of white, lending it a mystical air like a frozen Divine Domain.
The whole of Divine Capital’s First City falls under the Imperial Palace’s domain, one city remade into the grounds of a palace, filled with endless splendid halls of imposing design.
