As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1623 - 427: Purgatory Opens, Earthly Hell’s Evil Welcome the Ghost Emperor; The State Preceptor Is the Imperial Court’s Loyal Dragon God Who Believes in Me...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Something feels off!
But what's precisely amiss?!
Mr. Lian's gaze sharpened, his face paling in shock.
His forehead twitched, sending his Heaven and Earth Soul surging skyward in an instant, yet...
Right as it ascended over the tent, an intricate chessboard of threads became visible. A horrifying power erupted from it, brutally pinning down his Heaven and Earth Soul, preventing any escape whatsoever.
Mr. Lian's heart pounded wildly, plummeting into despair.
He watched Grandmaster Huang Mei advance, materializing at his side, while the Buddha Palm descended heavily onto Mr. Lian's shoulder.
Mr. Lian possessed solid cultivation, yet against a figure like Huang Mei, who stood at the pinnacle of both the Heavenly Gate and Great God List, it amounted to little more than insignificance...
"State Preceptor! Are you turning traitor?!"
Mr. Lian's tone turned fierce, bellowing with fury.
Yet...
In the following instant, Mr. Lian sensed his throat gripped tight, silencing his sharp cry before it could fully emerge.
For...
Next to him, a dark void portal materialized from thin air, as National Master Xie Yushen lightly fanned with his feather fan.
The sign atop the portal bore the words "Fengdu".
Creak...
The portal gradually creaked open.
A wave of blistering heat billowed and churned within the tent.
Creak——
Remote, timeless, eerily quiet, blazing...
Out of the profoundly shadowy portal.
A silhouette emerged step by step, its footfalls steady and unadorned, striking directly at Mr. Lian's core like hammer blows.
Fearsome Death Qi erupted alongside eerie ghostly flames!
The overwhelming might of Heaven and Earth Will crashed down like a colossal peak sliced apart, collapsing in ruin.
Rendering Mr. Lian utterly unable to draw breath.
"The... Underworld..."
In that instant, Mr. Lian's thoughts emptied completely.
His entire being seemed dunked into a frozen New Year's lake, icy dread piercing his bones, mind locked in numbness, incapable of any process.
He stood in total confusion...
How could the Underworld manifest right by the State Preceptor?
And how was this Grandmaster Huang Mei allying with the Underworld?
Was it possible...
That the State Preceptor and Grandmaster Huang Mei both belonged to the Underworld?!
With no chance for further reflection, the atmospheric pressure intensified into sheer terror!
His eyes bulged wide with dread, immobilized by Grandmaster Huang Mei's restraint.
In hopeless terror, he stared at the form stepping from Mo City Fengdu, gradually taking shape before his eyes.
Is that... is that even a person?!
Black robes billowed, sleeves whipping ferociously, slicing through emptiness like razor edges.
However, the head blazed within violet fires, warping the void, searing the heavens and earth, as though incinerating all worldly impurities.
Yet...
Beneath the veil of violet blaze, a gleaming golden skull gleamed!
What sort of fire could this be, that a mere look made it seem ready to devour his soul, draining his very essence...
Mr. Lian knew well of Divine Tribulation Cultivators!
Take Grandmaster Zhao Beidou from the Dragon Tiger Divine Sect, who had graced the Imperial Palace on multiple occasions; Mr. Lian had been lucky enough to encounter him, and thus witnessed the chilling dread of his White Netherworld Tribulation Fire...
But this current violet blaze eclipsed the White Netherworld Tribulation Fire entirely, brimming with profound menace!
Who could this be?!
Did the Underworld... did the Underworld conceal such a being?!
Violet flames danced, the form exuding dread and majesty, framed by the obsidian portal, where myriad lost souls seemed to lament, Hell's entrance flung open, hordes of spectral horrors charging out.
Featuring Underworld Yama, Bull Demon, Horse Face, Divine Monkey... myriad fiends from Earthly Hell, forms contorted, akin to vengeful wraiths rising to corrupt the realm!
Mr. Lian's frame shook violently; he instantly glimpsed National Master Xie Yushen and Grandmaster Huang Mei.
Their forms warped grotesquely, flesh tearing apart, visages savage, as if morphed into demons of torment!
Meanwhile, National Master Xie Yushen and Grandmaster Huang Mei, with zealous reverence, cupped hands in greeting.
"Underworld Xie Yushen!"
"Underworld Huang Mei!"
"Welcome, Ghost Emperor!"
Mr. Lian slumped to the floor.
He had shockingly beheld in the Underworld...
An entity surpassing even King Yan!
Ah ah ah ah——
What merits or abilities do I even hold?!
