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

Chapter 1531: Chapter 408: Unleashing 8 Qi Gates and the Qilin’s Kick, Gathering Qi Fortune Under Heaven and Assembling Qian Yuan [Monthly Ticket Requested]

The terrifying pressure descended, as if to bend Li Che’s spine.

However, with a thought, Li Che summoned the Heaven and Earth chessboard, isolating and sealing his aura.

Then, with the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart, he unleashed his divinity, filling and blocking the position of the Eighth Strange Gate Divine Seed in his spine.

When it dispersed again, the Heavenly Might completely vanished.

It was as if, in playing a game with Heaven and Earth, he had deceived the world.

...

...

The rooftop was covered with white snow.

Black clouds came and went, disappearing in an instant.

The warm sunlight poured down from outside the door, mottled like gold.

Li Che stretched lazily, his whole body producing a series of crackling sounds.

After ending his intense seclusion, ever since the battle with the court army, Li Che had not paused in his cultivation journey.

Unknowingly, several days had passed.

Walking out of the house, Zhang Ya, Xi Xi, and others like Jin Taixui were all training outside in the courtyard.

Seeing Li Che emerge, their eyes all lit up.

"Husband!"

"Daddy!"

The mother and daughter almost cried out simultaneously.

Then, they both ran towards Li Che.

Li Che, smiling broadly, spread his arms and embraced his wife and daughter who rushed into his arms like swallows returning to their nest.

With life like this, what more could one ask for?

Li Che rubbed his wife and daughter’s heads; the larger and smaller figures hugged him dependently.

Making the sharpness in his eyes slightly fade, adding a touch of softness.

"Master."

The Golden-haired Hou, seeing Li Che emerge from seclusion, respectfully bowed.

Li Che cast a glance at the Golden-haired Hou, his eyes inadvertently revealing a slightly unusual glow.

"Transform into the Golden Lion King and let me see."

Li Che said.

The Golden-haired Hou was momentarily stunned.

"Alright!"

The Golden-haired Hou did not hesitate, his whole body erupted with qi-blood, and in the next moment, he began to expand, his flesh and blood growing as if endlessly proliferating, veins thick and numerous bulging out.

In just a few breaths, accompanied by the appearance of the illusory shadow of the Golden Lion King, the Golden-haired Hou completely transformed into the Golden Lion King.

A rich and vast demon energy instantly spread from the body of the Golden Lion King.

The size of the Golden Lion King was enormous, standing in the courtyard like a small mountain.

Roar——!!!

A roar shook the rooftop, causing the snow to slide off.

Li Che’s eyes lit up.

Within his chest, the [Ten Thousand Demon Emperor] Dao Fruit incessantly pulsed.

Like clenching his five fingers, Li Che grasped that Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit.

In an instant, with a light step, Li Che appeared in front of the Golden Lion King.

The Golden-haired Hou tilted his head.

Watching as Li Che extended his hand to press against the Lion King’s forehead.

Suddenly, the terrifying demon energy seemed to find a source, madly converging into the [Ten Thousand Demon Emperor] Dao Fruit within Li Che’s chest.

Then, Li Che saw the maturity of the [Ten Thousand Demon Emperor] Dao Fruit rapidly soar at an astonishing pace!

The Golden-haired Hou, transformed into the Golden Lion King, possessed the absolute peak battle power of a Martial Saint Four Transformations, comparable to a demon king among the Demon Race.

[The Ten Thousand Demon Emperor], although only a newly born Dao Fruit, like Li Che’s previous [Immortal Artisan], [Dragon Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruits, started cultivation and transformation from low levels.

This Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit... debuted directly in the high-end realm, siphoning high-level demon energy, making the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit incredibly greedy in siphoning.

The Golden-haired Hou felt the demon energy within him rapidly depleting.

A sudden dread arose in his heart, and his gaze towards Li Che filled with fear and submission...

Not the submission that comes from losing a bet and accepting defeat.

It was a form of submission at the level of life, mind, and thought!

Making the Golden-haired Hou feel...

As if facing the Great Witch God on Wushen Mountain.

How is this possible?!

Bang!

The Golden Lion King suddenly lay down obediently, signaling submission.

Whish——

The gusts vanished.

Li Che furrowed his brows, the demon energy had been siphoned to the limit.

[Dao Fruit: Ten Thousand Demon Emperor (lv1, 90%)]

Just a bit short of transforming to lv2; it’s not that the demon energy of the Golden-haired Hou was insufficient, but that the Golden-haired Hou, after all, was not a purebred member of the Demon Race but merely had its bloodline. Thus, the demon energy in the transformed demon king was limited.

"And there are four more great demons like the Golden-haired Hou..."

Li Che’s eyes lit up slightly.

Just eight hundred li away.

In the camp where the court has set up, the Dragon God Crown Prince of the Dragon God Clan, as well as three great demons who can together form a half-step Dragon God phantom, count as big demons.

"Once it’s dark, I’ll sneak over and take a look."

Li Che emerged from seclusion, but news came that Lv Taibai had entered seclusion.

Currently, the entire Divine Sect is being managed by Fang Hanshu, maintaining operations.

Upon learning of Li Che’s emergence, Fang Hanshu quickly abandoned his tasks and hurried to the courtyard.

"A Che, are those resources of any use to you? Do you need more to be collected?"

At first glance at Li Che, for some reason, Fang Hanshu’s hair slightly stood on end.

A scholar’s intuition told him that the current Li Che should not be provoked.

Because Li Che could become very unreasonable.

"Yes, continue collecting. As for how many Divine Crystals are needed to purchase or exchange, tell me. I can use the Holy Hand Divine Sculpture for exchange."

Li Che said.

"The Grandmaster intended to call you for a meeting, but since you were in seclusion, he has returned to slumber..."

"There is no movement from Xie Yunshen’s side either, but the court’s army is camped outside, ever looming like a long sword overhead, causing unrest."
