As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1666 - 437: The Ghost Emperor Who Turns His Back on All Living Beings Slays the Poison Saint, Submit to Me and Witness the Eternal Divine Tide...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Should a Divine Tribulation or Martial God stir the Disaster Wheel into combat, the Heaven and Earth Will's Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations would seal them in place, dragging them into a massive ordeal.
Yet if the Disaster Wheel stays untouched... just like Gu Yangxuan in his current plight, his body keeps shattering in blast after devastating blast.
Gu Yangxuan isn't a Martial God, only a Divine Tribulation. Even though his physique rivals the finest at its peak, it falls far short against a true Martial God.
Boom——!!!
The Divine Machine Demon Ape lunged forward again at Gu Yangxuan.
At the same time, elsewhere in the fray.
Gu Yinxuan prepared to flee when Li Che's mind flickered, causing the Sea Flipping Nine Infants to burst into a spray of inky blotches, shattering the hold of the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill.
The instant after, it reshaped into the Sea Flipping Nine Infants and barreled straight at Gu Yinxuan!
Rumble——
Heavenly Tribulation thundered down fast, slamming hard onto the Sea Flipping Nine Infants and slashing its strength by a huge margin.
Still, this beast's blatant defiance of the Tribulation Thunder strikes turned it into a nightmare headache for Gu Yinxuan.
It couldn't be slain by poison, nor smashed into oblivion!
This monster was nothing less than his perfect counter!
Gu Yinxuan's features spasmed against his will, a sharp sense of wrongness gripping him.
This Underworld...
Showed zero signs of allowing his escape!
Intent on trapping him forever?!
"Sir, I, Gu Yinxuan, spent a thousand years in seclusion and another thousand faking my death—surely no grudges linger between us, right?"
Gu Yinxuan called up the Heavenly Poison Pill yet again to hold off the frenzied Sea Flipping Nine Infants, but he himself took heavy hits, fresh blood trickling unchecked from his mouth's edge.
The Dao Yun inside him churned wildly, fury boiling up like a storm, though he held back from unleashing it.
Ahead lay the Third Tribulation of the First Disaster Realm—that dire Calamity—which he held no assurance of surviving.
So, he had to hold on.
The vital issue here...
Sensed a peril so acute it chilled him to the core.
Over the ink-shrouded city loomed a colossal form, facing away from everyone, crowned by roaring purple flames.
Merely by existing there, it unleashed a calamitous force that threatened to flip the skies and shatter the lands.
Gu Yinxuan's look turned utterly somber...
The Underworld hid yet another powerhouse!
Which faction from the Underworld had surfaced now?
A savage, insane brute matching the might of One Disaster and Two Tribulations, and then...
A Divine Machine Beast on par with a Martial God, and further...
One more entity atop the city walls, exuding an aura that filled him with dread...
The purple fire flickered in eerie silence, clearly a fearsome Tribulation Fire beyond measure.
As it danced, it warped the very fabric of space, as though enraged horrors bellowed from its depths.
Gu Yinxuan's face grew darker than ever as he bellowed at the figure perched on the city walls.
"Earthly Ghost Emperor!"
From a distance, Gu Yangxuan cried out in shock.
Earthly Ghost Emperor?
Gu Yinxuan mulled the title in his thoughts; no such figure had appeared a millennium back.
"Sir, what is the meaning of this?"
"Do you truly seek our mutual ruin?"
Gu Yinxuan demanded in a voice thick with gravity.
But the Earthly Ghost Emperor kept his back to him, turned away from the world.
"Kill you."
A soft echo spread across the heavens and earth.
Gu Yinxuan's expression plunged into shadow—talks were off the table now?
Roar——!!!
The Sea Flipping Nine Infants bellowed, its nine skulls whipping about madly, Tribulation Thunder pounding down, but the Nine Infants shrugged it off and pressed the assault.
Crunch crunch...
The gates of Underworld Fengdu swung wide with a thunderous boom.
Shadowy, endless, a biting frost like the door to oblivion itself.
"The Gate of Fengdu stands open—crave survival?"
"Inside Fengdu waits a Small Cave Heaven, free from calamity's grasp; if life calls, enter and claw your way free."
A calm tone drifted from the Earthly Ghost Emperor's outline, still facing away from all.
Gu Yinxuan's gaze sharpened as he stared at the abyss-deep portal...
Step into that city...
And could he ever emerge alive?
An icy dread swept through Gu Yinxuan, his poison mastery facing its ultimate foe—this raging fiend cramped his style too much.
Any Demon Emperor, being a living thing, could fall to venom...
But this brute was pure instinct, swallowing the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill whole without a hitch.
Even so, tangled up with this mindless terror, escape seemed far from certain...
The mortal realm wasn't Strange Que; he couldn't cut loose here.
And this reckless savage, shrugging off thunder, hunted him down—he could only react, not strike first.
"Ah!"
Gu Yangxuan let out a furious howl.
He grasped the dire straits they faced...
The Underworld had joined forces with the Imperial Court; Xie Yushen had orchestrated this trap, their aim crystal clear—to seize the Qi Fortune of Divine Sect.
The pair of them could no longer shield Heavenly Pill Divine Sect's Qi Fortune.
Hence, Gu Yangxuan refused to perish.
He yearned to endure!
Body in ruins, he clung to his Heaven and Earth Soul; with his pill-refining prowess, given ample Human Medicine, a new form could be forged.
He refused to meet his end!
Kill!
Gu Yangxuan's eyes blazed crimson; in the mortal world, restraint choked him, blocking his full might, driving him to bodily rupture...
Kill!
Boom——!!!
Gu Yangxuan shifted first into a blazing streak, hurtling toward the yawning gates of Underworld Fengdu.
Gu Yinxuan shot a look at Gu Yangxuan, inwardly damning his folly.
Dash in and hope to return?
Even inside the Small Cave Heaven, unleashing all cultivation and rousing the Disaster Wheel—what then?
Yet under the watch of the Divine Machine Demon Ape, its echoing roar, and that distant silhouette with its back to him...
Plus, far off, the Imperial Court's Divine Tribulation Gu Qianchi as well.
No paths left to him...
Fight offered a slim shot.
Linger in the mortal realm, and he'd face endless siege, doomed to destruction!
"Damn it! I won't accept that I can't poison you!"
Gu Yinxuan's rage finally ignited.
In the beat that followed, out of options, he too bolted into the depths of Underworld Fengdu.
