As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1720 - 449: Opening the Martial Saint Heavenly Gate Before Qi Tian City, Witnessing the Martial Immortal After the Golden Heavenly Gate
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Underworld...
Once more, the Underworld appears!
Furthermore, it's that recognizable Cute Bull Mask, despite the two carved inscriptions on it, remaining identical to the original Cute Bull Mask.
Niu Yi, Niu Er...
Successively eliminated two Top Demon Kings!
Suddenly, the air grew tense and icy, with a fearsome murderous aura surging wildly, cascading from the top of the city walls.
Atop the city tower, the Heavenly Crane Demon God appeared profoundly somber. Such Top Demon Kings represented vital elite forces even within his own ranks!
Consequently, losing both in a single moment inflicted a massive blow on the Heavenly Crane Demon God, sharply dropping his standing among the Ten Thousand Rivers in the human realm.
He no longer held the power to rival the positions of fellow Demon Gods.
Within the Demon Race, the strength of one's followers holds immense value— the count of Demon Kings, along with the hordes of Great and Little Demons, all play crucial roles.
"Underworld!!!"
The Heavenly Crane Demon God erupted in uncontrollable rage, his avian eyes nearly popping out, his bellow echoing across the vast heavens!
He rose abruptly, myriad Sword Qi swirling and clashing, while his Crane Robe billowed without cease.
His gaze snapped toward Niu Yi, positioned nearby on the city tower.
Could Niu Yi and Niu Er... be one and the same?
The Heavenly Crane Demon God’s expression turned icy cold.
Yet, below, Li Che, having slain the Primordial Leopard Demon King, casually extracted the Demon Core, brimming with satisfaction.
A gleam appeared before his vision.
[Dao Fruit: Ten Thousand Demon Emperor (LV5, 70%)]
The essence from a Demon King boosted the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit's progress by 10%. A handful more could propel the Dao Fruit straight to Level 6.
Hence, an irrepressible grin spread across Li Che’s face, filling him with delight.
Steadily advancing a Dao Fruit's growth proved both crucial and uncommon for Li Che.
The world's ambiance shifted into something profoundly strange.
Even the enormous black bull visage, forged from vast demon energy over Qi Tian City, displayed a trace of fury.
After all, the names Niu Yi and Niu Er felt far too coincidental, hinting strongly at a single troublemaker at work.
However...
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable’s immense Heaven and Earth Soul, which could halt space itself, scanned across, traversing Niu Yi’s form, causing his forehead to crease.
For Niu Yi remained stationed on the city tower, solid in body and blood, defying easy revelation of its authenticity.
The Heavenly Crane Demon God’s frame brimmed with resonant Sword Qi.
Still, beneath the Black Bull Demon God’s oppressive presence, he refrained from any motion. Hierarchy commands obedience, particularly in the Demon Race, where superiors exert total control over inferiors.
"Enter the city."
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable declared steadily.
Li Che, donning the Niu Er mask, stayed composed and proceeded into the city without delay.
After picking a dwelling inside the walls, he ascended to the city tower, positioning himself beside Niu Yi.
The Heavenly Crane Demon God, perched on the city tower, directed a piercing stare at the enigmatic masked duo of Niu Yi and Niu Er.
Nevertheless, Niu Yi and Niu Er stayed poised, being mere avatars of the Fairy in the Painting.
Below Qi Tian City.
Among the assembled cultivator spectators, one abruptly let out a quiet laugh.
The Demon Race’s maneuvers truly resembled lifting a boulder merely to smash one's own toes.
The mighty always claim the right to dictate terms.
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable, aiming to align with the Heavenly Will, likely devised these terms to prompt the savage Demon Race powerhouses into slaying human cultivators seeking entry, thereby cowing the humans.
This would thwart any unified human assault on the Qi Tian City Demon Race while eroding human morale.
Yet, in the end...
Two Demon Kings lay dead instead.
The morale of Qi Tian City’s Demon Race suffered a notable dip.
The human cultivators clustered under Qi Tian City sensed a wave of ease; they had endured suppression for numerous days.
Evidently, Qi Tian City should rightfully fall under human territory, but these cultivators from the human clans found themselves barred from entry by the Demon Race.
"Hahahaha! Refreshing!"
Lv Taibai burst into hearty laughter.
His silver locks whipped about fiercely, his gaze alight with vigor.
The Taibai Sword concealed in his sleeve hummed eagerly, yearning to draw forth and challenge the Demon God.
Still, Lv Taibai held back, aware that... the Underworld had intervened.
With the Underworld stepping in, a watchful pause seemed wise.
Handling affairs through the Underworld brings the utmost assurance.
And Lv Taibai wasn’t alone; nearly every faction’s cultivators shared this sentiment to varying degrees.
They awaited to witness further maneuvers from the Underworld.
In the Western Regions Buddha Land, numerous Buddhist Monks in bamboo hats betrayed shifting glances.
The Wushen Mountain’s Witch God Cultivators, arrayed in bamboo hats and dark robes, possessed profound gazes.
Indeed, the assembly of powerhouses at Qi Tian City this time was vast. A joint assault could well shatter the Demon Race’s hold and siege on Qi Tian City.
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable’s deliberate city-entry rule might have aimed precisely at that.
But with this rule in play now...
Two Top Demon Kings had already perished.
The Heavenly Crane Demon God’s visage twisted in clear dissatisfaction, though he couldn’t casually ignore the regulation imposed by the Black Bull Demon God Venerable.
Therefore, he willed it so, calling forth his final Top Demon King subordinate.
It manifested as a burly humanoid giant, the Black Bear Demon King, bare-chested, gripping a dark axe, eyes savage and unrelenting.
"Black Bear Demon King, assist me in defense."
The Heavenly Crane Demon God uttered gravely.
Yet, right after his words, his eyes abruptly veered, fixing on the lively Da Chuan where throngs of intrigued Jianghu Guests had converged.
