As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1658 - 435: The Fifth Immortal Artisan Shedding, Second Type of Primordial Dao Tribulation, State Preceptor Invites the Underworld to Join Him...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
An unending gale appeared to rage ceaselessly, whipping up a tempest that assailed without pause.
Shimmering lights gradually converged before his vision, weaving together to form a message.
The second tribulation!
Li Che's eyes sharpened in an instant!
The second form of disaster power!
The initial disaster power stemmed from the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, called the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame.
While this second disaster power originated from the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit, named the Primordial Sky-cutting Storm!
Like a wild tempest charging forward!
It represented the storm's tribulation!
A sense of doom, all too familiar, locked firmly onto Li Che's form, with blasts of wind surging toward him, poised to shred his soul into countless pieces.
Rumble——
At that instant, Li Che's Heaven and Earth Soul appeared to endure a profound change, steadily gaining strength, as though a soul-shattering gale relentlessly wore it down.
Beneath this wearing assault, the soul kept fortifying itself.
[Dao Tribulation (Primordial Sky-cutting Storm): Invoke Dao for the ordeal, primordial essence of Heaven and Earth, Origin Wind Tribulation, Sky-cutting Immortal Craft]
Alongside the howling, slicing force.
Words as if etched into the depths of the soul, surfaced gradually in his sight like echoes of mighty chimes.
With a shift in his thoughts, Li Che plunged into the Dao Tribulation Space the very next instant.
Yet, through mere intent, the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame remained untouched.
Instead, it morphed into a different kind of Dao Tribulation force.
A strand of wind wailed and swept through, floating idly at first, then gathering in throngs, thick and unyielding, as the space fractured into myriad crisscrossing fissures.
Poof...
Li Che's spirit had barely manifested when the tempest wiped it out completely.
Not a single tenth of a breath endured.
Li Che's eyes snapped open, perched upon the Extended Arm Heavenly Armor, his face showing a trace of puzzlement.
As the bewilderment faded, Li Che's will stirred with resolve, diving back into the Dao Tribulation Space, where the Brow Niwan quivered, the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart pulsed fiercely, and the Heaven and Earth Spirit Bright True Ape bellowed...
Confronting the gale directly!
Then, nothing else occurred.
Still shy of a fifth of a breath.
All shattered in an explosion...
His soul felt exceedingly frail this time; the Dao Tribulation wind bypassed the flesh entirely, targeting the soul alone.
In the face of the Primordial Sky-cutting Storm, his soul resembled delicate parchment.
Even more brittle than parchment itself.
[Dao Tribulation: Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame (2%), Primordial Sky-cutting Storm (0%)]
…
Li Che let out a breath, his gaze gleaming brightly: "My body can endure the Martial Immortal Golden Body, yet my soul falters; even the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart offers no aid, nor does calling upon the Divine Fetus..."
Shaking his head, Li Che understood that soul refinement demanded steady dedication.
Yet, this Dao Tribulation's Primordial Sky-cutting Storm provided a path to bolster and elevate his soul's might.
Daily harnessing the Dao Tribulation's force to hone the soul, build inner strength, purify spirit and essence!
If weakness persists, then train relentlessly!
Li Che held a deep yet straightforward grasp of his own limits.
The massive Extended Arm Heavenly Armor suspended in the sky, monkey fur billowing, its gaze intensely vivid, evoking the reborn legend of Equaling Heaven.
A fearsome presence thundered forth, Dao Yun Power surging within, radiating immense dread and might.
Overhead in the firmament, disaster's energy churned wildly.
Regrettably, the focus was merely a construct, so the Will of Heaven and Earth withheld the full descent of Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.
"Divine Machine, Divine Realm Mechanism..."
"Truly, it unleashes Martial God-level might, with countless Wanxiang Nine Divine Seals activating in unison, bursting with unparalleled horror!"
Li Che expressed deep admiration.
His thoughts directed it, sending the Heavenly Armor plummeting downward with force, slamming into the earth and nearly crumbling the whole terrain.
For this Extended Arm Heavenly Armor loomed far too vast, akin to a towering peak.
Its awe-inspiring divine might exuded grandeur and dominance.
Li Che descended gracefully from its height, touching down softly on the soil.
Gazing at the well-known faces nearby, Li Che offered a warm smile in greeting.
"Everyone, it's been ages."
…
…
Dong—dong—dong—
Divine Capital.
The Second City.
Eight Treasures Double Eave Drip Water Qintian Treasure Tower.
A toll from an age-old bell rang out, its vibrations rippling far and wide for a thousand li.
The Nine Cities of the Divine Capital caught the bell's toll, the sound booming in their ears, stirring unrest among the noble clans and elites within the capital.
At the same time.
Fang Shangzhen passed on the Great Supervising Minister's word that Qi Tian City had unlocked, with the Equal Heaven Temple's legacy set to appear in under a month, a revelation that swept the Divine Capital like a whirlwind right away.
This intelligence raced outward at breakneck speed, as every faction anticipated it eagerly.
The announcement further reached the Great Scenery Eleven Paths via the Qintian Observatory's Qintian Treasure Pearl, linking to the eleven Dao cities' outposts.
In mere moments, the tidings blanketed the whole realm.
Divine Capital's First City.
Inside the Imperial Palace Divine Hall.
Upon the Divine Hall's central throne, the Emperor's features were veiled in Dao Yun and Divinity, enthroned with regal poise.
As Mr. Lian returned, bowing low with the report, the Emperor's gaze shifted subtly.
"A dispatch straight from the Great Supervising Minister?"
"Qi Tian City reopening, the grand momentum approaches..."
"Mr. Lian, what of the State Preceptor's condition?"
The Emperor inquired solemnly.
Mr. Lian bowed his head, eyes glinting, and replied: "The State Preceptor's second clash with Qian Yuan ended in defeat... He has turned his sights elsewhere, now assailing the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, and fresh reports indicate the State Preceptor breaches Guangling Dao City, on the verge of destroying the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect..."
