As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1651 - 434: Like Witnessing 500 Years of Time—Immortal Artisan Sheds for Level 7, Myriad Forms Divine Machine Demon Ape Breaks Out of the Mountain [Monthly Ticket Requested]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
A supreme radiance kept bursting forth without pause, as though a slumbering intent was gradually rousing itself.
The pinnacle creation from the Tang Family's mechanical arts!
Divine Machine Armored Heavenly Armor?!
Deep within the enormous emptiness, a sudden blast resembling a savage gale poured in, roaring and spiraling endlessly.
Li Che's gaze burned with sharp intensity, locked onto that colossal mechanical construct.
Labeling it a mechanical beast didn't quite capture it; it resembled battle gear donned by a battlefield commander.
Yet this gear draped over the frame of a faintly human-like mechanical entity, its outlines too indistinct, like they remained unshaped.
Tang Sanjia brimmed with wild exhilaration, his breaths coming in heavy gasps, a touch of frenzy gleaming in his aura.
"A Che... This stands as the greatest triumph of my Tang Family!"
"Once the Imperial Court launched its assault and shattered my Tang Family, the Grandmaster of the Tang Family came to see... That depending only on a Supreme Mechanism Beast couldn't sustain the Tang Family, and it would merely paint us as a prize for others to seize."
"Beyond the Imperial Court, countless Divine Sects could effortlessly overpower the Tang Family... Since those Divine Sects hold the Divine Tribulation as their anchor, a power the Tang Family never claimed."
"The Grandmaster of the Tang Family himself reached only the rank of Great God."
Tang Sanjia's sturdy, imposing frame quivered faintly, while dazzling light flared nonstop from his eyes.
Li Che, taking in those words, found himself in full agreement; this realm indeed favored the mighty devouring the feeble.
Take Qian Yuan, for instance—in the face of the Imperial Court's punishing forces this round, without the Underworld's aid, the Imperial Court would have unleashed its vast legions to overwhelm and flatten everything, leaving mountains in ruins, temples obliterated, and Dao City awash in rivers of blood.
The core cause behind the Tang Family's downfall long ago lay in their command of mighty mechanical skills yet absence of ways to safeguard that heritage.
Tang Sanjia's eyes fixed on the gigantic Extended Arm Heavenly Armor.
He swiveled toward Li Che and declared, "A Che, this Extended Arm Heavenly Armor... the Grandmaster handed it to me after suffering grave wounds in the blockade, for among the Tang Family's heirs, he believed my knack for mechanisms shone brightest, maybe... enough to elevate this mechanical beast to true Divine Machine status."
"Sadly, the Grandmaster erred... My aptitude falls short, way too short..."
A wave of bleakness washed over Tang Sanjia.
"Over the years, I've poured in every effort, yet I can't finalize the refinement and mending of this Divine Machine Armored Heavenly Armor."
After countless defeats, a person starts questioning their own gifts.
Even a prodigy faces erosion of belief through endless failures, fostering inner uncertainty.
Tang Sanjia... might well be enduring just that.
Li Che kept his focus away from Tang Sanjia, his feet pressing lightly before launching his form skyward.
Buzz—!!!
An unseen surge of air enveloped Li Che's figure, spreading like waves, exploding with a thunderous boom, dispersing outward, as boundless Heaven and Earth Soul rushed in!
This marked the Heaven and Earth Soul of the Divine Fetus!
Within the Inner Scene of the Energy Center, the Heaven and Earth Transformation Spirit True Ape Divine Embryo appeared to stir, unleashing a roar that shook the ground!
As if fused with the cosmos, spawning the essence of heaven and earth!
It represented a profound sensing ability, attuned to the quakes of soil and peaks, the drift of vapors, the spin of celestial bodies and lunar glow, and more.
Boom—
Tang Sanjia's locks whipped about, his robust, towering build shuddering just a touch.
His stare stretched wide; as a Divine Primordial powerhouse, even now... he found himself unable to twitch a lone digit.
Suppression, utter suppression!
The whole chamber brimmed with tension and choking dread!
"Divine Fetus!"
Tang Sanjia reeled in utter astonishment.
Brilliance danced in Li Che's eyes, the Dao Fruit nestled in his torso throbbing with fervor, sparking keen curiosity in him.
Could the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit surge to new heights through this Extended Arm Heavenly Armor?
The prior instance of such fierce throbbing and desire from the Dao Fruit came when the Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit stepped into the Immortal Peach Orchard, drawn by the Gathering Immortals Flag's pull.
And now, the sensation from this Immortal Craft Dao Fruit struck him as...
Strikingly akin to what the Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit had felt then.
"Divine Realm Mechanism Beast... Divine Machine..."
Li Che sensed this mechanical beast concealed certain mysteries.
Likely, Tang Sanjia remained oblivious to this hidden truth.
Bearing the final aspiration of the Tang Family Mechanism?
Aiming to forge a construct rivaling the Divine Tribulation?
"This is the Divine Realm Mechanism the Grandmaster of the Tang Family sought to craft after drawing inspiration in Qi Tian City, yet he failed to finish it before passing, leaving it to me, but I... lack the skill to refine this Divine Realm Mechanism."
Tang Sanjia, under the crushing weight of Li Che's Heaven and Earth Soul, let out a heavy sigh.
Li Che gave a nod, floating before the massive mechanism, his gaze beaming with sharp insight, golden mists swirling within his irises.
The skin across his forehead parted abruptly, the Star Plucking Pupil casting forth gleaming golden beams, probing this intricate mechanical beast, where over a hundred million mechanism seals flickered in unison with light.
Tang Sanjia had carved out nearly an entire mountainside to shelter this mechanical beast, laboring over its details and refinements around the clock.
Still, to this day, his advances hovered near nothing.
Tang Sanjia had drained every ounce of his ingenuity; he dared not let the glow of those mechanism seals fade, lest it signal the total collapse of the mechanical beast's forging.
