As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1713 - 447: Temple God Resonance of the Qi Tian Mysterious Temple, How to Satiate the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit [Requesting Monthly Ticket]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Fang Hanshu continued.
"The reason the Demon Race attacked Qi Tian City is their fierce determination to seize this inheritance, and above all, they hold a major edge..."
Upon hearing this, Li Che narrowed his eyes: "So Qi Tian Temple houses a Demon Saint... That's why the Demon Race thinks their upper hand is overwhelming?"
"Correct." Fang Hanshu gave a nod.
"Beyond that, the Western Regions Buddha Land and Little Lingyin Temple also place immense faith in this Temple God Resonance, since the Fighting Prison Lotus Demon Saint Qi Tian carries a name tied to Buddhism, leading the Western Regions Buddha Land to claim Qi Tian as one of their Buddhist Temple Gods..."
As a learned figure and a God Hunter Killer from the Hunting God Pavilion, Fang Hanshu was privy to countless hidden truths.
Li Che pondered for a moment before nodding.
"Therefore, the world's great powers converge here for three key reasons. First, the Qi Tian Inheritance from the Mysterious Temple; second, the vast resources of the ancient Divine Sect Qi Tian Temple; and third... the hidden mystery linked to the Inner Mysterious Que - Earth Deceit Que nexus within Qi Tian City..."
Fang Hanshu laid out the core connections of Qi Tian City for Li Che.
"Temple God Resonance, then?" Li Che's eyes narrowed once more.
It made sense why so many sought to grasp the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod; it offered tremendous support for the Temple God Resonance.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh ——
All at once, the Flying Sword came to a stop, ceasing its swift flight.
Li Che sharpened his gaze, and glancing downward, he beheld a sprawling expanse of lands and rivers beneath, dominated by a colossal and expansive city!
The city rose imposingly high, spanning across sky and ground, awe-inspiring beyond measure, much like a massive Divine Dragon curling upon the earth.
Its scale was immense, its presence unrivaled, brimming chiefly with an age-old essence, while the city walls stretched endlessly to both sides, covering miles without apparent boundary.
"We've reached Qi Tian City..."
Excitement gleamed in Li Che's eyes.
In a hazy sense, endless strands of lethal electric flashes wove together ceaselessly!
Within his chest, the Dao Fruit of the Chess Saint pulsed steadily!
Thud thud thud ——!
The wind fell still, and every noise across heaven and earth turned serene and calm in his perception.
The Heaven and Earth chessboard spun and grew, abruptly seeking to blanket the entirety of the mighty Qi Tian City.
From the chessboard surged forth dreadful and expansive energies without end.
However, his Heaven and Earth chessboard managed to span just half the city before halting.
Consider that his present Heaven and Earth chessboard already spanned almost eight hundred miles.
Encompassing all of Qi Tian City ought to have been well within its reach.
Still, Qi Tian City appeared to harbor a force that warped the fabric of heaven and earth, as though it didn't fully reside in the current realm, preventing the Heaven and Earth chessboard from covering it completely.
As the Flying Sword lingered in the air.
Lv Taibai positioned himself at the leading edge of the Sword Qi surge, with Sword Qi erupting upward from his form; he took a single stride, departing the Flying Sword outright, his Sword Qi piercing the heavens as he advanced!
"Get lost——!!!"
A booming shout echoed like thunder.
A silhouette abruptly materialized on the ramparts of Qi Tian City, unleashing a fearsome and radiant aura that climbed skyward, akin to a heavenly blade poised to cleave all in its path!
It was an enormous White Crane.
Wings unfurled, its black-and-white plumage shifted into flowing feather robes that draped its frame, morphing into a lean middle-aged figure, equally radiating intense and piercing Sword Intent.
Lv Taibai's brow furrowed; he thrust out his five fingers, which instantly became five heavenly blades, clashing head-on with the Crane Demon in a fierce exchange.
Sword Qi surged like ocean swells, distorting the void with rippling distortions.
The Divine Tribulation power churned wildly, resembling crashing waves and tempests overhead, as if summoning a catastrophe that quaked without pause.
"This Demon God rivals the Martial God Realm in strength, with a body of extraordinary toughness—truly remarkable."
Following the clash, Lv Taibai, who had ascended to the Divine Tribulation Realm by enduring the Destructive God Wind among the Three Disasters, found himself unable to overpower the Crane Demon.
"A fresh breakthrough to Divine Tribulation, eh? No surprise—the young bull fears no tiger..."
From the tower of Qi Tian City, the Crane Demon narrowed its gaze, locks whipping in the wind, form honed sharp as a blade, fixing on Lv Taibai with a mocking grin.
Next, its gaze swept over the handful of people aboard the Flying Sword.
Spotting Lv Qiankun caused the Crane Demon's eyes to contract, yet upon noticing Fang Hanshu, Li Che, Xi Xi, and the rest.
The scorn twisting the Crane Demon's features deepened.
"What do you take Qi Tian City for? Dragging your kin into the fray..."
"Qi Tian City stands under full Demon Race control—go back to wherever you crawled from!"
"Otherwise, you'll all end up as our feast of blood!"
"Begone!"
The Crane Demon bellowed, and in an instant, myriad Sword gleams shot upward, sharpening into feather-like barbs from the Crane.
A deluge of killing intent poured forth like a raging flood, its eyes blood-red, burning with hunger for fresh blood sustenance.
Lv Taibai's forehead creased, Sword Qi enveloping his being; he had meant to probe the depths of Qi Tian City, but clearly... the city's waters plunged far deeper than anticipated.
Now wholly seized by the Demon Race, just as rumored, the Human Race would need to unite and assault to breach Qi Tian City.
Failing that, when the Temple God Resonance commenced, they risked forfeiting their right to enter and join the event.
Qi Tian City featured four entrances: east, west, south, and north.
At each portal stood a Demon God on guard, blocking Dajing Country and the Human Race from accessing Qi Tian City.
Only through a direct assault to force the gates open could entry be gained.
Absent that, one had to await the Demon Race's permission to access the city.
"These Demons hail from the Ten Thousand Rivers—not the Inner Mysterious Que All Gods Camp [Deceit Demon Cave]'s Ten Thousand Rivers, but the one in the current world, beyond Dajing's borders, bordering Wushen Mountain; it's a Demon Race domain, where most Demons arose from the Mysterious Temple's corrupted Divinity."
