As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 1954 - 501: The Mandate of Heaven Cannot Be Defied—His Father Is the Variable, Devouring All Mystic Thunder; Lei-Ci Dao Body’s Fifth Metamorphosis

”It shouldn’t...”

”The resurrection of the Daughter of Prison Lotus has completely deviated from the predetermined destiny and path...”

”No, no, no...”

Su Da gently shook her head.

Finally.

Those enchanting eyes narrowed completely.

She softly recited the name of a variable.

”Her father...”

”Li Che.”

...

...

Divine Capital.

First City, Palace Temple.

The majestic temple stood in great numbers, resplendent and magnificent, slate upon slate of glazed tiles glimmered under the starry night, like ethereal palaces floating above the Nine Heavens.

The Emperor walked out from the palace, strolling down the corridor along the White Jade Staircase.

All who saw the Emperor on his way kept a respectful distance, filled with awe and trepidation.

The Emperor stepped forward, walking out of the First City of the Divine Capital, arrived at the Second City, the Golden Dragon Robe fluttering, he didn’t pause, heading straight to the Eight Treasures Double Eave Drip Water Qintian Treasure Tower.

He stood with hands clasped behind him, looked up spiritedly, his gaze profound; once again, he stood before the Qintian Observatory.

Pain flickered in the Emperor’s eyes because his Gathering Immortals Flag Xuan Flag was lost, Supreme Xuanzhen came to borrow the Gathering Immortals Flag, he lent it, but it was lost.

This caused him great anguish; he didn’t know who took the Gathering Immortals Flag, yet it no longer mattered now.

”Could it be... truly fate? Is the Great Vista destined to meet its demise in my hands?” the Emperor murmured.

The Prison Lotus Gods are awakening, after Qitian recovers, other gods will also awaken, then Strange Que will descend into chaos, and chaos will spread across the land—a divine tide will rise, marking an era of cleansing.

Can the Great Scenic Imperial Clan cross to safety in this divine tide?

And the Emperor knew, in this divine tide, there’s another person who could play a decisive role.

Perhaps, capturing this person, relying on their power, there might be a chance to cross over.

The creaking sound of footsteps echoed on the wooden planks of the tower, filled with the breath of time.

Under the guidance of Assistant Director Fang Shangzhen, the Emperor came to the Ninth Layer, once more meeting the Chief Supervisor seated on the back of the Mystic Turtle.

Every encounter weighed heavily on the Emperor’s heart, as the Chief Supervisor’s unfathomable nature loomed large.

Originally, the Emperor intended to support Xie Yun Shen to oppose the Chief Supervisor, even at the cost of entrusting Dajing’s Fate to Xie Yun Shen.

After all, finding someone like Xie Yun Shen, capable of controlling Qi Fortune, from the vast sea of people, was exceedingly difficult; the Emperor had placed great hope there.

However, compared to the Chief Supervisor, Xie Yun Shen fell far short.

”Your Majesty...”

Like the Emperor, the Chief Supervisor was shrouded in divinity and Dao Yun, his serene gaze sweeping across.

As always.

The Emperor stepped into the tower on the Ninth Layer, about to speak, when Chief Supervisor Gongshu Guigu gestured with his hand, pointing to a mirror before them, indicating the Emperor to look.

The Emperor turned his head to look, and could not help but freeze.

Within the mirror.

On the bleeding Stone Mountain, Li Che was bathed in the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder, golden Qi-Blood reached the heavenly dome, like a god, like a demon!

The Emperor’s pupils contracted.

How could this be?!

”He...”

The Chief Supervisor, riding the Mystic Turtle, smiled lightly.

”Indeed.”

”Our Qintian Observatory’s Special Class Guest Minister, Guest Official Li, is a Martial Immortal of this age.”

The Emperor’s face turned ashen, his lips trembling.

”Chief Supervisor... Do I... still have a chance?”

The Chief Supervisor’s robe fluttered, his eyes showing an uncommon stillness.

”Your Majesty, the will of Heaven cannot be defied.”

...

...

The world was silent, Heavenly Might no longer, thunder ceased.

On Stone Mountain, storm and thunder vanished.

The blood color on the Qiankun Ring began slowly retreating, the Thunder Pool had long stopped brewing.

Li Che once more landed on the mountain peak, his long black and robust hair danced wildly like Mystic Thunder.

Within him, the boundless vitality surged like tides, brewing wildly, the Martial Immortal Golden Body having gained significantly from the refining by Mystic Thunder.

Layer after layer of dead skin shed from Li Che’s physical body, blood flowing in his meridians like mercury, the expanded meridians resonating like thunder, washing over his physique, his body translucent, with millions of pores radiating brilliance, dazzling like the radiant sun!

”Hoo—”

”Sigh—”

Li Che exhaled a long breath, then took another breath, breathing rapidly, his entire being revitalized.

He opened his eyes, his gaze extraordinarily bright, sharp like two bolts of lightning tearing the night sky!

Excellent!

Li Che couldn’t help but lift the corners of his lips into a slight arc.

Golden light flickered before his eyes, like shattered sunlight reassembling.

[Dragon Elephant Furnace: Martial Immortal Golden Body (70%)]

A huge uplift!

Indeed, a massive uplift—a trial by Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder directly increased the progress of the Martial Immortal Golden Body by 20%!

Really quite incredible!

However, it was understandable, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder is too terrifying, even for Li Che, had it not been for the Lei-Ci Dao Body aiding in neutralizing the thunder power, adapting to the Mystic Thunder’s force, even the Martial Immortal Golden Body would have been shattered.

The pain would have been exponentially greater as well.

But now, Li Che was extremely satisfied with the result.

The enhancement of the Martial Immortal Golden Body greatly improved the capacity to withstand and capture the Primordial Dao Tribulation!

Li Che was confident he could substantially elevate the Primordial Dao Tribulation, even refining the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame to perfection, boosting other Primordial Dao Tribulations correspondingly...

Overall, it marked a major leap in power!

However, Li Che’s direct confrontation with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder, triggered by the Four Seas Dragon Clan’s offering of Ten Thousand Dragons, yielded the greatest harvest beyond just physical enhancement.

It was...

Thump thump thump——

In his chest, a thunderous heartbeat, like roaring thunder exploding in his ears.

As if a dragon’s chant and an elephant’s cry echoed, shattering the skies!

Li Che’s gaze opened and closed, intangible waves rippled through space, as if fabric beating against an unseen tide.

The rearranged sunlight once more formed a prompt.

[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv7, 95%)]

Slaughtering ten thousand dragons, killing four half-step supremes, and crossing the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder, the physical transformation rose a level!

The Dao Fruit maturity directly advanced by 15%, truly no small amount!

In truth, the expedition to Ancestor Dragon Island did not disappoint Li Che from the Four Seas Dragon Clan.

After all, with lv7 rank Dao Fruit, advancing its maturity was no easy feat!

15% Instant Enlightenment Feedback, enough to drive the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame to perfection!

And now, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, drawing ever closer to lv8 rank!

Soon... really soon!

Li Che’s eyes glimmered with radiant gold.

Apart from this surprise...

There was another aspect.

Originally, Li Che only intended to use slaughter to achieve some maturity progression.

But he never expected Ancestor Dragon Island to have such schemes, gifting him the grand occasion of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder!

Even though they intended to eliminate him and his daughter with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder, for Li Che, such a killer move was like a delicacy delivered straight to his mouth!

A delicacy Li Che always craved but remained elusive!

Vrrr vrrr vrrr——

In his chest, as though a world-shaking thunder roared, like myriad thunder arcs bursting from his millions of pores, wildly dancing atop the mountain peak.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh——

As if countless gales roared upward, Li Che standing straight like a divine spear atop the mountain peak.

His black and vigorous hair unfurled.

Faintly, centered at Ancestor Dragon Island, the sky and earth seemed to grow numerous invisible lines, descending swiftly above his head, then rising from beneath Ancestor Dragon Island, forming a complete loop.

Li Che opened his eyes, splayed his five fingers, Mystic Thunder howling, the prompt conglomerated.
