As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1729 - 451: Unprecedented Dual Dao Fruits and Four Moltings, Hand-Rubbed Nuclear Blast in the Underworld, Trading Bird Gun for Cannon [Seeking Monthly Ticket]...

Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Li Che contemplates assigning the Black Bull Demon God Venerable a position among the Ten Fiends in his Ten Fiends Ink Painting, deeming the Two Calamities Demon God worthy despite his realm. Shielded by the Heaven and Earth chessboard amid the demon-shrouded Qi Tian City, he awaits the transformation of his Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons Dao Fruit using extracted demon energy. Reflecting on his recent battle, Li Che has forcefully opened the Martial Heavenly Gate, unleashing pure martial immortal qi-blood that surges his strength to the level of seven detonated Qimen Divine Seeds and refines his Martial Immortal Golden Body to 12%. Noting the slowing progress on his lv7 Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, he prepares to channel Instant Enlightenment Feedback to advance his Thousand Mountains Solo Sky-cutting Blade.

The Immortal Seed·Qilin Suppression Seal has now been cultivated by Li Che to the Minor Accomplishment stage.

Pushing it to higher levels grows ever more challenging.

Yet, one Immortal Seed alone won't suffice. Li Che aims to convert every one of the Eight Strange Sect Divine Seeds into Eight Wonders Gate Immortal Seeds, while also progressing in his other martial arts techniques.

Rumble——

In a subtle shift of his mind, faint tribulation thunders stir once more.

This represents the fury of the Heaven and Earth Will, invoked by the Martial Arts Heaven Opening Sect.

Li Che cast a glance toward the courtyard.

Rising to his feet, his black robe billowed in the air, the Bull Demon Mask fixed firmly on his face.

As he advanced, it was as though he was enveloped by swirling ink-like mists; in his wake, at the spot he left, a Bull Demon donned in a Cute Bull Mask remained.

This figure was the Painting Immortal Avatar Bull Demon.

Grasping a Thunder Chess Piece between his five fingers, Li Che departed, leaving behind the Bull Demon along with the other Painting Immortal Avatars in the courtyard, while his own form disappeared entirely.

Qi Tian City Outer City, beyond the courtyard.

The void subtly split apart, revealing a black-robed figure that appeared to dangle inverted from the rift, his gaze profound and boundless, like myriad rings spinning within.

"At last, I've located it... this underworld... it truly possesses enigmatic techniques."

"Still, it cannot evade the ultrasonic detection of my Night Bat Demon God!"

Earlier, while probing the small courtyard, he sensed the entire area shrouded in a hazy energy, his ultrasonic senses trapped in an endless spiral within a vast labyrinth.

But now, a wave of lucidity finally washed over him.

He observed within the courtyard: Bull Demon, Niu Yi, Niu Er, and Niu Sansi, all seated in meditation and cultivation.

"Heh heh heh——"

The Night Bat Demon God let out a low chuckle as the void fissure sealed shut completely.

A subtle, invisible ripple emanated outward without cease.

Vigilantly monitoring the courtyard's developments.

...

...

Whispering wind——

Beyond Qi Tian City.

Demonic energy surged wildly toward the heavens, a bloody downpour laced with the Demon God's anguished cries plummeting from the sky.

An overwhelming, choking pressure spread without limit.

Emerging from the courtyard, Li Che first made his way back to Xi Xi.

The young girl widened her large eyes, thrilled as she observed the relentless clashes erupting before Qi Tian City, her cheeks glowing red with excitement, letting out eager cries.

After all, the skirmishes outside Qi Tian City burned with intense ferocity.

Even the lowliest combatants were at the pinnacle of demon king strength; naturally, Xi Xi yearned for clashes between Divine Tribulation experts.

Battles of that caliber were seldom witnessed in everyday life.

With her innate battle-loving spirit, Xi Xi eagerly anticipated such spectacles.

Moreover, the demise of the Heavenly Crane Demon God appeared to shatter the spirits of the numerous demon experts holding Qi Tian City.

The Sword Antelope Demon God stepped in for the slain Heavenly Crane Demon God, taking command of Qi Tian West Gate.

Yet, up to this point, no Divine Tribulation Realm cultivators had issued challenges; instead, mostly top-level peak and Great God level fighters targeted the elite demon kings beneath the Sword Antelope Demon God.

Since Li Che had previously eliminated a batch of demon kings, the subordinates of the Sword Antelope Demon God proved somewhat inferior to those under the Heavenly Crane Demon God.

In several heated duels, a few top-level peak warriors indeed overcame demon kings, breaching into Qi Tian City.

And relative to the Underworld's unveiling, these intrusions by top-level peaks into Qi Tian City ignited even greater fervor among the rest.

Challenges intensified with passion, extending even to the South Gate and North Gate of Qi Tian City where cultivators ventured to battle.

Nevertheless, such daring moves carried inherent dangers; just as the Netherworld Ox Demon had felled a Demon God, though the demons in Qi Tian City waned in vigor, their murderous resolve sharpened.

Amid the fights, some cultivators met their end at demonic hands, their blood and flesh consumed raw, heightening the already taut standoff between the opposing sides.

After spending some time with Xi Xi, Li Che chose to teleport elsewhere.

Upon his return, he found himself hovering above the Grand Canal in Jiangnan Dao.

Over the waterway, Li Che assumed a cross-legged position, causing the river to roil violently, waves surging as if a monstrous Jiao Long writhed below, whipping the surface into frenzy!

High in the firmament, thunder boomed relentlessly, a web of lightning that lit up the entire sky, dispelling the weight of the dark clouds.

Li Che's black robe, embroidered with golden lotus motifs, whipped fiercely in the gale, his form resembling one perched on a lone duckweed leaf, bobbing atop the river's undulations.

Boom——!!!

Abruptly, a bolt of thunder ripped through, shattering the clouds with a roar, morphing into a thunderous shape infused with horrifying Qi Blood Power, slamming downward with immense force.

A flicker of surprise crossed Li Che's features at this thunder laced with Qi Blood Power.

But he didn't dwell on the shock; the Dao Fruit of his Lei-Ci Dao Body within his chest pulsed wildly.

This Dao Fruit had attained lv5, maturing to 95%, needing only a spark to evolve.

With the Heaven Gate now breached, the channeled Heavenly Thunder would finalize this transformation.

Tilting his head upward, Li Che beheld the plunging Thunder Dragon gaining vivid realism from the Qi Blood's weave.

Hum—bang——

A resonant hum echoed as Li Che's body blazed into radiant gold, his golden locks thrashing about, his aura surging skyward.

Below him, the river burst into a vast hollow.

His figure shot upward, clashing directly with the Thunder Dragon!

Once the tribulation concluded, tranquility returned without fanfare; given his Martial Immortal Golden Body's might, the Heavenly Tribulation posed no threat whatsoever.
