As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1635 - 430: The Rise and Fall of 3,000 Years—Farewell to the Dragon Emperor, No More Soul Capturing, Ten Vicious Dragon Gods Return [Monthly Ticket Needed] (Part 2)...

Thus, Li Che activated the Flying Thunder Chess Piece's ability to teleport, swiftly following through with a slash from his blade.

Yet, the Old Dragon God's response proved far quicker than Li Che anticipated, his battle expertise vastly outstripping that of the Dragon God Crown Prince.

He excelled at exploiting his strengths; the moment he shifted into dragon shape, the Prison Lotus Yin Divine Sword embedded in his chest shrank to an insignificant size.

Since Li Che's devastating fist struck the sword's hilt, the wound in his chest appeared no more than a tiny needle prick against the enormous dragon body.

The harm was greatly reduced!

"This old loach actually has some skills."

Under the black and white Yama Mask, Li Che's eyes slightly narrowed, as the golden mist instantly morphed into crackling golden bolts.

His dark, robust hair whipped ferociously in the wind at his back, while the Dragon Elephant Furnace boiled with fearsome qi-blood, floating right behind him.

The dark robe billowed, his body expanded, and the impressive, robust muscles quivered faintly.

Li Che extended his five fingers wide, and abruptly, the Divine Weapon in his left arm vibrated, dropping the Three-pointed Two-bladed Knife into his grasp, its menacing edge glowing with a humming vibration.

His other hand rose to seize the Prison Lotus Yin Divine Sword that had stabbed through the Old Dragon God's form and was now hurtling through the sky.

Sword in one hand, knife in the other, his presence blazed like a piercing rainbow!

Lifting his gaze, he stared at the enormous Old Dragon God, who loomed over Mo City and blotted out the heavens.

Indeed, this Old Dragon God towered immensely, his potent energy swirling and clashing without cease.

Shifting back to human shape, the Old Dragon God bore a small gash on his chest, the dragon blood already clotted, with flesh and tissue gradually weaving together to heal, his entire body clad in gleaming golden dragon scale armor, his presence roaring with intensity.

The tribulation energy and Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations surrounding the Old Dragon God felt somewhat distinct, bearing a tribulation vibe yet clearly diverging from the usual route, sparking Li Che's deep interest.

It appeared the Divine Tribulation Realm's paths held variations...

The traditional Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations seemed tied solely to Divine Cultivators pursuing Divinity beneath the Strange Temple.

In contrast, lineages like the Dragon God Lineage or pure martial ways did not follow the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations route.

"Damn it! So ruthless!"

"The sword carries poison!"

The Old Dragon God's face twisted in shock, as dark blotches suddenly appeared on his golden dragon armor, a relentless force burrowing like a maggot in the bone, infiltrating his meridians to erode and block them...

The Underworld... resorted to poison?!

What kind of ruthless dark power is this!

Rage boiled uncontrollably in the Old Dragon God, as he realized during the Underworld Yama's assault that he doubted the Dragon God Crown Prince's loyalty to Ji Moli—instead, he might align with the Underworld!

Naturally, another option existed...

That Ji Moli...

might be an Underworld member himself!

After all, this Prison Lotus Yin Divine Sword ranked among Ji Moli's controlled Divine Weapons!

Was Ji Moli truly part of the Underworld?

Such an idea... proved utterly horrifying!

The Underworld...

Was it really infiltrating every corner?!

Feeling the toxin rampage and twist wildly inside him...

With the poison spreading out, the Old Dragon God's mighty Heaven and Earth Soul Perception scanned inward, revealing the poisons had turned into human-faced toads—odd creatures with human features yet hopping like amphibians—leaping through his meridians and blood, multiplying rapidly to jam his pathways!

Gripping his injury, the Old Dragon God plummeted quickly, touching down in front of the ashen Xie Yushen and Zhao Beidou.

While doing so, he channeled his Dao Yun Power to contain and dissolve the poisons.

The scene grew oddly tense: his Dragon Sons and Dragon Grandsons had turned against him, with the most trusted grandson delivering the fatal poisoned strike.

This treachery pierced the Old Dragon God's soul with icy dread.

Survival took priority now.

For starters, he had to uncover the Dragon God Clan's turmoil, the reason the Dragon God Crown Prince and those Dragon Sons turned on their own!

"Old Dragon God, watch out—this is the Underworld's Small Cave Heaven... I got pulled into this realm before, fighting the Underworld Yama; I'd already badly wounded him and wrecked this Small Cave Heaven..."

Zhao Beidou sprawled on the ground, hacking up blood nonstop.

The Disaster Wheel at his back hung nearly cleaved apart.

The Old Dragon God glanced over at Zhao Beidou, his golden dragon scales marred by the black human-faced toad toxin, his vitality dropping sharply since he diverted Dao Yun to combat this human-faced toad poison.

He gave a nod, his heart flooded with mixed feelings.

He had to concede that earlier... he'd unjustly accused Zhao Beidou.

Zhao Beidou... held real strength.

Facing the Underworld's cunning and brutality, he'd clashed with Yama in a grueling deadlock, even shattering the Small Cave Heaven... that amply demonstrated Zhao Beidou's capabilities.

The heavy toll he endured highlighted Zhao Beidou's bravery in a new light.

Such a figure, unlike his Dragon God Lineage's Dragon God Crown Prince, merited far greater faith.

"Dragon God Senior, stay alert..."

National Master Xie Yushen's complexion drained white as snow; rising to his feet, he moved toward Zhao Beidou, his features grave beyond measure.

The Old Dragon God eyed the Dragon God Crown Prince and three Dragon Sons rising once more from the earth, now aligned with the Underworld Yama, his visage twisting into profound turmoil.

His Dragon Sons and Dragon Grandsons proved unreliable, leaving Zhao Beidou—the one he'd always dismissed—as the sole trustworthy ally.

How utterly... ridiculous.

In that instant, the Old Dragon God lifted his eyes at last, locking onto the Underworld Yama.

He ignored his Dragon Sons and Dragon Grandsons now; it served no purpose—those who betrayed him were nothing but worthless scum...
