As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1688: 442: Ji Moli Reduced to Plaything by the Warring Heroes—Don't Disturb My Poison Dao Research [Monthly Ticket Requested]

Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Xi Xi struck down Zhou Chiguo amid the ruins, ending his corrupted life as he regained clarity in his final moments, regretting his fall from dragon-slayer to evil dragon. Yun E and Zhou Peng, their divine forms cracking from the battle's toll, bid a tearful farewell to Xi Xi, urging her to navigate dangers wisely as they prepared to depart. Suddenly, a vortex of Death Qi erupted from Zhou Chiguo's body, unleashing Ji Moli's towering presence, who fixed his crazed gaze on Xi Xi and lunged—only for her to vanish into her father's protective embrace high above, their eyes locking in a clash of kings as all her anxiety melted away with his comforting words.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Between heaven and earth, a ferocious gale roared wildly, resembling the rampaging Gang Wind unleashing chaos, brimming with razor-sharp slicing force that sent shivers through the flesh, as though one's entire body might be torn apart.

After the massive clash, Luoyun City lay in partial devastation.

Long gone were the city gates of Luoyun City, reduced to nothingness, with nothing but rubble-strewn ground remaining. The clash between the two manifested Temple Gods unleashed immense destructive might.

Boom—!!!

A dreadful blast echoed right away, utterly drowning out even the thunder from the Divine Tribulation's arrival in that instant.

The world pressed down heavily, suffused with an intense, choking oppression that swept over everything without cease.

Ji Moli's armor rattled loudly as he donned the Mysterious Black Armor, radiating a shadowy gleam. His five fingers clenched the umbrella gun with savage intensity, unleashing a pure, supreme energy that hurled the two Temple Gods backward.

Yun E and Zhou Peng's transformed Temple Gods wielded unmatched strength, and despite their current fatigue and depletion, they ranked among the pinnacle beings of the current era.

With the umbrella gun tilted in his grip, Ji Moli positioned himself atop Zhou Chiguo's corpse amid the wreckage.

A boundless, sinister black vortex of Death Aura kept erupting forth, surging madly, twisting, and churning with fury.

Even the atmosphere appeared to wail in agony under the crushing burden.

It resembled the colossal Tianhe River being severed and cascading endlessly, as potent Divinity and Death Qi swirled around Ji Moli, whipping up a tempest of unyielding chaos that ravaged everything in its path without mercy!

Ji Moli's presence intensified into something ever more horrifying.

Li Che cradled Xi Xi in his embrace, hovering in the air, his ink-black robe billowing noisily while his strong, dark locks lashed about fiercely in the void.

“Have you broken through to the Divine Tribulation?”

A subtle golden mist flickered in Li Che's gaze; although he noted the surge in Ji Moli's strength, it didn't shock him much.

Lv Taibai had managed to push into the Divine Tribulation under heavy duress, so Ji Moli... after losing his incarnation, likely felt the peril. In such dire pressure, breaking into Divine Tribulation held real possibility.

Achieving the breakthrough at this point fell within Li Che's anticipations.

Yet, certain aspects still caught Li Che off guard, like the blatant Death Qi enveloping Ji Moli!

This fearsome torrent of Death Qi exposed his alliance to all, proclaiming that Ji Moli had allied with the Corpse God Cult!

And the Corpse God Cult stood as a renegade faction against Great Vista!

Betraying Great Vista and openly defying it marked forces forbidden by Great Vista.

The Emperor had sent Ji Moli to Jiangnan Dao to crush the Corpse God Cult. But in the end... had Ji Moli crushed himself into a key figure within the Corpse God Cult?

Evidently, in Jiangnan Dao's domain, Ji Moli treated it as his own turf, especially now with his cultivation advancing to Divine Tribulation.

Thus, Ji Moli's approach turned bolder and more overbearing by the moment.

Coldness crept into Li Che's eyes.

Li Che harbored no fondness for the Corpse God Cult whatsoever.

The duo of peaks that once loomed over Li Che were the Corpse God Cult and Ji Moli, with the reigning Emperor now added to that list.

Still, those initial pair had weighed on him with profound unease.

Hence, Ji Moli had to perish, and the Corpse God Cult... had to be eradicated!

Ji Moli positioned himself at the heart of the Death Qi gale.

His armor clinked sharply, his dark cape whipping ceaselessly, his gaze fixed unyieldingly on Li Che.

“Li Che?”

Ji Moli's eyes remained impassive, devoid of any sentiment.

“Perfect timing—since you and your daughter are here today, we'll settle it all at once.”

No needless words.

To Ji Moli, Li Che and Xi Xi had thrown his schemes into disarray far too often.

The grudge between them required no further talk.

Besides, Ji Moli keenly detected a seething murderous aura radiating from Li Che, who held Xi Xi close.

This famed upright and forthright Divine Sculpture Master displayed a killing intent today that burned far too fiercely.

Yet Ji Moli couldn't fathom why Li Che directed such hostility at him, a cultivator in the Divine Tribulation Realm.

Did he believe he could slay a Divine Tribulation expert?!

Freshly ascended to the Divine Tribulation Realm, Ji Moli brimmed with assurance, rooted in his unwavering faith in his power.

Though Li Che might be a formidable deviant prodigy, outshining most in the Divine Sculpture Domain with his gifts.

Ji Moli dismissed it entirely.

For he had attained Divine Tribulation.

Capable of dominating all!

Upon entering the Divine Tribulation Realm... he stood among the world's supreme powerhouses.

He paid no mind to Li Che's supposed Underworld Horse Face role; unless Li Che reached Divine Tribulation...

He posed no threat.

A single command to “kill” would do!

Jiangnan Dao... fell under his control!

Boom—!

With a mere flicker of Ji Moli's mind, the Heaven and Earth Soul burst forth abruptly, unleashing a towering pressure that bore down on Li Che's form.

“Underworld Horse Face?”

“You arrive solo... yet dare to unleash such killing intent?”

“Such hubris?!”

“Do you fancy yourself the Underworld Yama?”

Ji Moli uttered coolly, his words thundering like claps of thunder.

His arm's muscles quivered as black Blood Qi and Death Qi surged wildly, while his umbrella gun twisted and thrust forward, ripping a massive whirlpool through the void in an instant.

The spear's lunge bridged distances through space, nearly materializing before Li Che without delay.

However, Li Che only offered a calm smile, utterly unperturbed.

In a flash of intent, the Heaven and Earth chessboard rocketed upward, spinning and swelling swiftly to blanket a hundred miles in scope.
