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

Chapter 1657: Chapter 435: Immortal Artisan’s Fifth Molt, Second Type of Primordial Dao Tribulation — The State Preceptor Invites the Underworld to Join Him

The heart is pounding intensely, with a surge of heat weaving through.

A terrifying impact, endlessly surging, endlessly echoing!

It gives Li Che a familiar feeling, a sense of transformation never felt before!

Just like the last time with the [Dragon Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruit, when reaching such heights at level 7, Li Che now feels the metamorphosis of the [Immortal Artisan] Dao Fruit.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

The extended arm Heavenly Armor, charging into the skies, seems to roar, full of spirit, transcending the dullness and wisdom of a mechanical beast!

As if it has gained a soul, this is an extraordinary transformation.

During the ascent, the gale blows fiercely, whipping Li Che’s Mo Shan garment around incessantly.

From his eyes flows Golden Smoke, as if the whole scene sat poised upon a sea of clouds, gazing at the edge of the world, the Vast Sun rising, the sky filled with color for thousands of miles.

With the opening and closing of his eyes, the whole person seems to enter a mystical state, a soul reaching heaven.

The insights into the Way of Mechanisms and the Divine Sculpture Path, all explode in his mind like a Big Bang in this moment, rapidly expanding and pouring out.

Level 7, Immortal Craft Dao Fruit, Five Sheddings!

Deep within Li Che’s gaze, there is a hint of unexpected joy!

Yes, it’s unforeseen joy, because as the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit advanced to Divine Sculpture Master, the speed of improvement clearly slowed.

Li Che wanted to accelerate the pace, but it wasn’t easy, and coming to Divine Carving Ridge this time, fulfilling the previous promise, he didn’t hold much hope.

Even when seeing the extended arm Heavenly Armor, the joyful dance of the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit didn’t make Li Che think this time he would achieve transformation.

But the surprise arrives unexpectedly, always descending without notice.

For this moment, the skill Dao Fruit changing family life, allowing them to rise from insignificance, Li Che is deeply concerned and anticipates.

Li Che’s lips curve into a sliver of a smile.

"Hoo—"

"Sii—"

With each breath, the sky-filled whirlwind seems to calm beside his ears.

Instantly, spirit vibrates, drawn into the vast heavens and earth.

The familiar vast heavens and earth, the majestic aura rushing forward, he sees that towering upward, straight into the heavens, with branches filling the sky of the Dao Tree.

He also sees the Seven-Colored Glaze Dao Fruit hanging upon it.

His gaze locks on the dazzling like a Fiery Sun [Immortal Artisan] Dao Fruit, Dao Fruit swaying, as if blown eternally by invisible winds.

Bang—

As the Dao Fruit trembles, myriad rosy lights burst forth, enveloping Li Che.

A familiar scene slowly arises and shines before his eyes.

The river roars, meandering furiously, rushing through the dark space, flowing swiftly like a radiant ribbon, striving to tear open the darkness.

In the river, Li Che sees a figure sitting atop a large fish, the fish swinging its tail, riding the waves in the river.

That figure is incredibly calm, holding an axe, lightly waving, as if space becomes sculptable, transforming into another lifelike large fish, leaping into the temporal river, with a flick of its tail, soaring upwards like a fish jumping over Dragon Gate.

It directly takes the void as wood, carves Divine Sculpture, even bestows Divine Sculpture with real life, realizing a magical method from nothing to existence!

Li Che now certainly isn’t some novice in the Divine Sculpture Path, clearly knows creation from nothing is extremely difficult.

"Another strong one mastering Dao Fruit?"

"Once the Master of Immortal Art Dao Fruit?"

Li Che’s mind no longer harbors the shock and turmoil it did when he first saw the Master of Dao Fruit years ago.

The figure sitting atop the river, holding the axe, slicing through the void, taking heaven and earth as material for carving.

Permitting it to be cut piece by piece, like stone, like wood, cut into square forms, in the squared space to carve and sculpt.

Statue after statue enshrined with countless brilliance of Dao Yun is carved from space as material.

Stretching across heaven and earth, diverse in posture, seemingly eternal.

When carving the eighth statue, the figure suddenly pauses.

The gaze seemingly crosses the heavens, stars for thousands of miles, colliding with Li Che’s gaze.

A serene sigh reverberates.

"Art may endure, but people cannot."

"Nine Transformations, nine transformations, never achieved."

Eight statues span the river, but the ninth statue ultimately has not come into existence.

Boom—!!!

The scene before Li Che’s eyes explodes completely, like an unbounded storm, furiously sweeping, dispersing everything, annihilating everything.

Li Che’s spirit retreats from the scene, yet the heart feels only regret and a sense of loss, the regret, the impact feeling too strong.

Master of Dao Fruit.

He sees yet another Master of Dao Fruit.

Perhaps, it is because these Masters of Dao Fruit withered and fell, so there exists Dao Fruit, growing with his daughter, leveraging bonds, ascribed upon him?

Li Che’s brows furrowed, starting to ponder, but entirely without understanding, vast heavens seeming full of mysticism, unable to grasp the cause and effect.

Hoo—

The body seems to have misty Immortal Light gushing forth.

Li Che exhales deeply.

In front, white light condenses, rosy clouds steaming.

[Dao Fruit Level 7, Five Sheddings, Dao Guide (Ghost Axe) Ascension, Dao Tribulation (Primordial Sky Slash)]

Boom—!!!

It is like heavenly sounds roaring, vibrating beside the ear, making eardrums seem to explode in an instant.
