Chapter 527: The Boss's Mixed Stew Slashes the Immortals' Will, Father and Daughter Separated— Why Do You Force Me

The Boss's words were somewhat ethereal, echoing in Li Che's ears.

Under the perilous situation of the Three Immortals eyeing them like tigers, the Boss still had leisure to chat with Li Che like this.

Li Che also understood; perhaps this conversation was very important, concerning what decision the Boss would make next.

The cigarette dangling from his lips had been lit at some point; the smoke curled and rose, swirling in midair before exploding outright.

To continue protecting his daughter, he would fall in this terrifying battle involving the descent of the Three Immortals' divine will.

Or let his daughter embrace the Hell Lotus Curse, abandon resistance, return to her predetermined fate, walking the path of becoming the Heaven's Will Executioner, the destined course……

For Li Che, these two choices actually required no excessive thought.

Recalling how, through the Dream Heaven Master Dao Fruit, he had seen Xixi embracing the Hell Lotus, bearing the curse's power, becoming the Heaven's Will Executioner— that mountain of corpses and sea of blood, that soul like a walking corpse……

How could Li Che let his own daughter walk such a path?

Because the opponent was too strong, he dared not fight, so he abandoned resistance, let his daughter embrace the Hell Lotus Curse, choosing a path with no hope in sight?

He had clearly strived to change his daughter's fate, yet because he feared the enemy's strength, he gave up everything……

A father who dared not fight for his daughter……

What kind of father is that?!

Li Che's calm heart rippled; his eyes flashed with sharp, exploding light, brilliant and dazzling.

His bones and sinews rang out!

"I naturally… will not let my daughter return to fate! That kind of life is not my daughter's; my daughter's destiny, her future— she decides for herself!"

Li Che spoke in a low voice, his voice booming like an ancient god, fiercely beating the war drum, sound waves rippling, shaking space.

As if a strong will stimulated the Pure Heart Dao Fruit, waves of pure-heart divinity washed over Li Che's flesh like tides.

The raging winds intertwined, seeming to burst forth from every pore, ravaging and striking in all directions.

A faint smile appeared on the Boss's cold face.

"As expected, I wasn't wrong; I knew you'd make the first choice."

The Boss said lightly.

He seemed to have seen through Li Che's temperament.

The Boss exhaled, his gaze turning toward the direction where the Three Immortals made their strong move.

The Emperor Toad was fully blocked by the Third Prince; the Immortal Buddha Golden Cicada was blocked by the Big Black Dog, which seemed to transform into a hellish hound; the remaining Immortal Vessel Lotus Lamp was blocked by his Golden Cleaver.

It appeared that the willpower of the Three Immortals' descent had all been met with countermeasures.

But only the Boss knew the true threat did not come from these Three Immortals, but from the meaning behind their actions.

Moreover, the Big Black Dog and he had already exceeded limits with their moves; the true threat was about to descend.

In the Boss's view, the descent of the Three Immortals' will was not the real threat; the Heaven and Earth's will was the true terrifying threat!

Li Che followed the Boss's gaze as he lifted his head; the Boss's face was extremely solemn, making Li Che's heart also grow heavy.

"Since you've made the first choice… then let's fight, fight on."

"Although defeat may be likely in the battle, at least you have fought for your daughter; a father brave enough to stand for his daughter is always better than one who retreats."

The Boss's voice softly echoed.

Li Che nodded.

The Boss's five fingers suddenly rose, his body instantly becoming somewhat indistinct.

"Li Che, do you know what the situation and consequences are for making the two choices?"

The Boss's gaze fell back onto Li Che.

"The first choice: to continue fighting, Xixi will no longer be able to remain in the mortal world; the Three Immortals' gaze draws the attention of Heaven and Earth's will."

The Boss's words made Li Che's heart tremble slightly— what does that mean?

The Boss's white robes fluttered; his whole being seemed to merge into the void, giving a sense of having found the legendary ascension.

"Unable to remain in the mortal world… what does that mean?"

Li Che took a deep breath.

"Literally, in the mortal world, in the mortal world's illusory realm, Xixi can no longer stay."

"According to the predetermined fate, when Xixi draws the Immortals' gaze, she should have already stepped into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths……"

"So at this moment, if Xixi wants to shield herself from Heaven and Earth's gaze, to deceive Heaven and Earth, she cannot remain in the mortal world."

The Boss said calmly.

Li Che's body shuddered violently, raising huge waves like a heavy divine hammer smashing hard against his chest.

"No place in the mortal world can hide Xixi's trace… even in a minor cave heaven it's the same; as long as one is within the bounds of order and rules, Heaven and Earth's will can sense it—that is His true power."

"Therefore, Xixi needs to enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

The Boss said.

Li Che's heart suddenly became immensely heavy; he clenched his fists, the divinity on his body rising and falling, constantly undulating.

He gulped down breaths of air.

"Could it be… there's no other way??"

Li Che asked in a low voice.

"Yes, that would be making the second choice: Xixi chooses to merge with the Hell Lotus Curse, submit to her original destiny, then everything will return to the right path, the corrected fate, and Heaven and Earth's will will intervene, erasing the Immortals' traces in the mortal world……"

"Xixi will continue living in the mortal world, following the predetermined fate, eventually entering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to meet the Immortals……"

"The second choice is simply to let Xixi remain in the mortal world……"

"Li Che, I never give people a second chance, but this time I give you a second opportunity to choose— how will you decide?"

The Boss seemed to merge into the void, his white robes fluttering, giving an air of transcendent detachment.

"I……"

Li Che opened his mouth, then paused.

He turned his head to look at the figure sitting cross-legged on the ground, black flame lotus blazing fiercely around Xixi, countless Hell Lotus-shaped divine patterns continuously spreading and intertwining around her body.

The eight-armed, three-faced Undying Hell Lotus Divine Fetus behind her had basically completed its metamorphosis, but Xixi was still struggling against the Hell Lotus curse…

Originally Li Che planned to wait for Xixi to complete her divine fetus metamorphosis, then take her into Mo City Fengdu to isolate her from immortal detection, so that immortals could not know her whereabouts.

But the boss's words now made Li Che's heart involuntarily tremble.

The Will of Heaven and Earth……is also paying attention to Xixi?!

Then, if he places Xixi inside Mo City Fengdu, can he block the perception of the Will of Heaven and Earth in the mortal world?

But even if that were possible, would Xixi have to spend her whole life living in Mo City Fengdu?

But Li Che actually knows that it probably won't work.

Inside Mo City Fengdu, although it isolates divinity, it seems unable to block the power of the Grand Dao River…

Because Mo City Fengdu is a divine ability born from the Dao Fruit of the Painting Immortal, and its power is inseparably linked to that of the Grand Dao River.

In other words, even if Li Che hides Xixi inside Mo City Fengdu, he can block everyone's detection, but he cannot block the investigation of the Will of Heaven and Earth…

Li Che's heart grew immensely heavy; the first option was for Xixi to maintain her self, but now Xixi has no choice but to enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The second method is for Xixi to return to her predetermined fate, but in the end…… Xixi will become a walking corpse, ultimately dying completely, ending when this divine tide draws to a close.

Such a choice is truly difficult!

Li Che's heart involuntarily welled up with a hint of pain.

How should he make this choice?

The boss merged into the void, becoming increasingly ethereal, as if he were waiting for Li Che's decision before reacting.

Li Che's mind and spirit trembled slightly.

For a father, this truly is a painful decision.

Li Che closed his eyes, his heart feeling as if flames were colliding, sparks flying everywhere, his blood boiling throughout his body, yet Li Che felt an intense chill, a coldness at the soul level!

"What……should I choose?"

The cigarette dangling from Li Che's lips burned quietly.

Hiss—

The sound of the cigarette paper being consumed by flame and turning to ash echoed bit by bit beside his ear.

After a long while, Li Che slowly opened his eyes.

"It's too late, Li Che, make your final choice."

The boss's cold voice echoed.

Li Che thought for a moment, his body flickered, appearing beside Xixi, he raised his hand, and a powerful pure-heart divinity surged forth from his palm.

He patted it onto Xixi's head.

Xixi's long eyelashes trembled slightly; she opened her eyes and saw Li Che.

Li Che put on a gentle smile, but Xixi seemed to see some difficulty and strain in Li Che's smile.

"Dad……what's wrong?"

Xixi asked.

Li Che took a deep breath, smiled, his voice very gentle, and told Xixi the question the boss had thrown out, letting Xixi make the choice.

Sometimes, a father's choice also needs to listen to the daughter's thoughts.

Xixi is very mature; she is not truly an eight-year-old girl; she has her own will and thoughts.

After hearing, Xixi's face turned slightly pale, and she subconsciously clenched her fists…

After a long while, Xixi's lips twitched slightly, and her eyes became extremely resolute.

She looked at Li Che and earnestly said, "Dad…… Xixi doesn't want to lose dad and mom, doesn't want to lose friends, doesn't want to become a lonely child unloved by anyone."

Perhaps it was the will of the great Xixi deep in her soul that informed Xixi of the situation of the two choices.

In Xixi's big eyes, tears uncontrollably streamed down; she bit her lip and began to sob.

"Dad! Xixi has grown up now; Xixi will protect herself; Xixi wants to fight alongside dad, always looking forward to fighting together with dad!"

"So, Xixi does not want to return to the predetermined fate!"

"Xixi is willing to go to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; moreover…… if Xixi goes to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, dad will surely come to find Xixi, to bring Xixi home, right?!"

Xixi raised her head, her big eyes adorned with crystal-clear tears.

Li Che's heart shuddered violently, feeling great pity; he rubbed the little girl's head.

"Certainly!"

"Dad will do his utmost, will bring your mom together to fetch you home!"

"We will be together as a family."

"No one can stop me."

Li Che said very seriously.

Buzz—

The boss's body became somewhat translucent, as if it might disappear at any moment in this heaven and earth.

"So…… Li Che, did you make the first choice?"

The white-clothed boss asked lightly.

Li Che nodded solemnly.

"I cannot bring both you and Xixi into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths at once, not only because my strength is insufficient, but also because your identity is special; you are originally a person outside the predetermined fate."

"If you enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, you will be exposed, again attracting the gaze of the Will of Heaven and Earth, rendering it meaningless."

"You must find your own way into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths……"

The boss's words let Li Che instantly realize that making the first choice meant he and Xixi had to be separated.

Rest assured, in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, I and Gouzha will protect Xixi...

The boss said.

Then... please, boss.

Li Che solemnly clasped his fists in salute.

The boss nodded.

Boom—!!!

A terrifying aura erupted suddenly; Li Che shot his head up and saw the sky over Golden Light Prefecture City change, becoming pitch black.

Not only was it pitch black, as if torn open by an invisible force, a colossal azure finger first appeared, emerging from the rift in the void and pointing down toward the mortal realm.

The terrifying aura, so powerful it made even the wills of the three immortals tremble, rolled down like a flood.

The clanging sound rang out, and the void rippled with shockwaves.

After a single collision between the Third Prince's and the Immortal Toad's divine-pattern avatars, the two swiftly separated, hovering in midair.

The Immortal Toad lifted its head, and brilliant light burst from its eyes, revealing astonishment.

The next moment, a low laugh came from its throat: "The power of the will of Heaven and Earth..."

The will of Heaven and Earth itself acts, seeking to correct the twisted fate of the Hell Lotus Maiden, to return everything to normal and let the eighth divine tide continue to surge!

This is the power of the will of Heaven and Earth—no one can stop it, not even an immortal!

The toad let out a low laugh.

The big black dog slammed a paw against the immense Buddha light; behind that light, the monk with cicada-pattern Buddha eyes pressed his palms together, calm and indifferent.

The lotus lamp flickered with light, divine flames swayed, and a graceful demoness's figure emerged, powerful and unfathomable.

The three immortals' eyes flickered, and their wills trembled.

How could the power of Heaven and Earth's will descend so quickly? There must be other forces influencing it...

Perhaps it is this white-clad man and the big black dog who provoke the will of Heaven and Earth's repulsion, drawing its gaze!

The demoness illuminated by the lotus lamp spoke in a solemn immortal voice.

The toad and the golden cicada also had their eyes flash, projecting their gazes.

It seems highly likely to be Erlang Shen, the True Lord Who Manifests Sagacity!

The toad said in a deep voice.

Indeed… too many changes have been made; Erlang Shen, the True Lord Who Manifests Sagacity, has not yet revived at this juncture, but judging by the reaction of Heaven and Earth's will, could it be that he has recovered to immortal-level power in the mortal realm?

Which includes Nezha, the Third Prince; Erlang Shen, the True Lord Who Manifests Sagacity; and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven who has slaughtered his way into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths...

These three came from the unknown, stirring the divine tide; I believe that to end the tide, perhaps we must have them completely rekindle their divine flames and utterly perish.

They are the source of chaos!

The toad said coldly.

Now that the will of Heaven and Earth has descended and is about to unleash an unfathomable power… we can simply stand by and do nothing.

The mistaken fate of the Hell Lotus Maiden is about to be corrected; we need not intervene.

The three immortals withdrew, spanning the black hole to isolate the influence of Heaven and Earth's will, watching coldly.

A colossal phantom of the toad, entwined with countless divine patterns of the Great Dao, wove together into chains of order.

The cicada patterns illuminated by Buddha light intertwined, while the lotus lamp flickered with brilliant radiance and the divine flames swayed splendidly.

The pressure between heaven and earth was so heavy it made breathing difficult.

Golden Light Prefecture City had already fallen into a deathlike silence.

Within the city at this moment, there were no mortals left; even ordinary martial sages and divine embryos could not stand here.

Only those with Divine Tribulation realm cultivation could endure within the city.

As for the first and second tribulations of the Divine Tribulation, they were basically crushed by the pressure and flung to the ground; only supremes could barely rise, but even then they could only look out for themselves.

This is… the descent of the will of Heaven and Earth...

Boom—!

One supreme after another went weak in the knees, the divine platform woven from interlocking Great Dao patterns swaying, as if unable to bear it and about to collapse.

This is the will of Heaven and Earth of the Ghostly Void, shrouding the mortal realm's Ghostly Void, utterly terrifying; cultivators in the lethal Ghostly Void have only a single thought.

Hum—hum—hum—the azure fingers intertwined with endless divine patterns, extending from the rift, then forming a colossal azure palm that spread out, blotting out the sky.

Flee!

Many supremes flushed red, daring not to watch any longer; they sprang up, turning into streams of light heading away from the Ghostly Void of Golden Light Prefecture City.

Meanwhile, some mortal cultivators hastily retreated from Golden Light Prefecture City, abandoning any resources.

Resources—only useful if you have the life to enjoy them!

Li Che stood beside Xixi, the Hell Lotus curse on her body transforming into eerie floral patterns that continually wound around her form.

Li Che suppressed it with his Immaculate Heart divinity, temporarily easing her burden.

But this suppression cannot last long.

Li Che now sensed with his Immaculate Heart divinity that the source of the Hell Lotus curse lay deep within Xixi's soul.

If Li Che wished to cleanse the curse, he would have to destroy Xixi's soul.

Therefore, he naturally could not act, and could only choose to suppress it.

!

Boom—

Li Che looked toward the boss, who had merged into the void.

Boom——!!!

The boss's body was transparent, his white robes fluttering, as if walking in the void; taking a single step, he vanished without a trace.

The pressure of the Will of Heaven and Earth descending was too terrifying!

Even Li Che, blessed with the Pure Heart Dao Fruit, felt oppressed.

The purgatory fire markings on the Big Black Dog had already retracted, its head swaying as if searching for the boss's trail.

The Third Prince gritted his teeth, gripping the fire spear forged from Hell Lotus Fire, cursing, wishing to strike directly at the Will of Heaven and Earth, pierce the heavens and rend the earth!

Suddenly——

That enormous azure palm swept toward the direction where Li Che and Xixi were.

The palm seemed to perfectly merge with the void, like a gentle gust blowing over, yet all airflow was evacuated and compressed the instant the palm fell.

Xixi's body trembled slightly.

Li Che's Pure Heart Divinity burst forth, flickering like a candle in endless darkness, appearing utterly feeble yet utterly resolute!

Three immortals stood within the black hole, gazing indifferently.

As if watching a show, even such supreme beings would harbor a desire to see the excitement.

After all, a scene of the Will of Heaven and Earth personally intervening to correct fate is something they rarely witness, to the point of basically never having seen it.

Precisely because it is rare, they find it interesting.

Boom——!!!

The azure giant hand of the Will of Heaven and Earth, like the hand of Supreme Heaven, was terrifying beyond measure, countless divine patterns intertwined upon it, the Great Dao's divine patterns thick and dense, even a single palm line seemed woven from those Great Dao patterns.

It was the most exquisite work of the Divine Condor between heaven and earth!

"Truly exquisite, flawless, this is Supreme Heaven's most wondrous masterpiece."

The Immortal Emperor Toad stood within the black hole, taking human form, burly and broad, countless order chains intertwining around its body, sighing in admiration.

The Lotus Lamp shone, that lovely immortal maiden's eyes flickering with demonic light.

The power of the Will of Heaven and Earth struck down!

Everything seemed to be annihilated, returning to the most primal form of order!

It was as if an unfathomable force kept spreading and intertwining.

"Dong——!!!"

Suddenly.

The entire Golden Light Prefecture City, or rather, the entire Mysterious Tower of the mortal realm, emitted an exceptionally clear sound.

That was a crisp "dong"!

The rolling sound waves surged, as if an ancient bell hung upon an age-old temple had been rung, the waves kicking up surging tides.

"Bell sound?"

Li Che's heart stirred, feeling the pressure of the Will of Heaven and Earth descending, yet it all vanished completely.

He immediately realized, this was the boss making a move!

However, this bell sound seemed somewhat strange……

It didn't sound like a proper bell.

Below.

The Big Black Dog stuck out its tongue, widened its eyes, and the next moment opened its mouth to release a long, skyward howl.

Its body instantly transformed into a jet of black light that shot forth.

The next moment, it landed in midair.

Above that midair, a white robe appeared, hazy and indistinct, entwined with endless immortal light, brimming with the divine.

At this moment, the boss was utterly unlike what Li Che usually saw; his aura was too transcendent, even the three immortal divine spirits, in Li Che's eyes, lacked the mystery the boss now possessed.

Hummm——

Immortal light burst and intertwined, making Li Che dizzy and entranced, as if he sensed the immortal energy he had once condensed.

"Dong——"

The sound rang out once again.

"Bell sound?"

"No!"

At this moment, everyone saw clearly that this was not the sound of an ancient bell ringing!

Rather, it was a pot being struck with a kitchen knife!

Dong dong dong dong——

The boss in white whiter than snow wielded a golden kitchen knife, a bronze-colored large pot appearing in his hand; lightly tapping the knife's handle, the bronze pot vibrated.

Ripples like waves rendered this spacetime utterly chaotic, as if even heavenly order and the Great Dao's divine patterns were being jostled by the bronze pot's vibrating sound!

What a terrifying aura!

What kind of pot is this?!

Li Che pressed Xixi's head, continuously outputting his Pure Heart Divinity to keep her awake, preserving the time before their separation.

Yet both father and daughter were shocked by this moment's battle!

"Boss……you're amazing."

Xixi clicked her tongue.

The boss actually wasn't making a move; so far, only the Big Black Dog has acted.

As for the boss……

Rather, he mostly suppresses opponents with divine weapons.

Like that golden kitchen knife, and……the bronze pot now brought out!

This boss, just how many good things does he still have?!

However, the power the boss displayed right now made Li Che's heart inexplicably feel much more at ease.

At least, in a place as perilous as the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the boss having this strength surely means he can protect Xixi!

The bronze grand cauldron hovered above the boss's raised palm, brilliant light bursting forth in all directions, like boundless immortal light!

The motion of that immeasurably huge azure-colored heavenly hand coming down seemed to be blocked for a moment by the shockwave from the bronze cauldron, causing it to stagnate.

Hummm—

In the next moment, above the firmament, a Heaven's Will Cleaver seemed to appear!

The will of heaven and earth seemed to be raging!

To condense a peerless Heaven's Will Cleaver and slay those who break the rules!

Li Che gazed at the terrifyingly extreme Heaven's Will Cleaver faintly visible within the rift; compared to the one that had slain the Little Dragon Emperor who rekindled the divine fire, it was far more fearsome, bearing nine ancient symbols that blazed with light, each flashing in turn, as if storing energy!

When he had earlier examined the cleaver that slew the Little Dragon Emperor, Li Che had seen only a single ancient symbol!

The gap…… is actually this huge?!

Besides, what does the boss intend to do?

To hard‑resist the will of heaven and earth?!

With these nine ancient symbols fully charged at once, and the descending Heaven's Will Cleaver, can the boss possibly block it?!

Not only Li Che was shocked.

The three immortals standing within the black hole likewise felt their hearts shaken just as much!

Bang——!!

Suddenly.

The will incarnation of the Immortal Emperor Toad twitched abruptly.

«Not right! »

«Ribbit——!!! »

A resounding divine sound rang out, countless divinity surging like a tide!

The Emperor Toad opened its mouth and spat out a divine spear, like terrifying lightning bursting forth, intertwining with order divine patterns!

Dang——!!

A gleam of gold appeared, accompanied by sparks, blocking the divine spear spewed by the Emperor Toad!

Golden Kitchen Knife!

It actually appeared within the black hole, swinging straight for the neck of the Emperor Toad's incarnation!

A shroud of white clothing, vague beyond compare, slowly coalesced from intertwined immortal light, forming a similarly vague white-clad figure.

The Golden Kitchen Knife turned, following the divine spear and slashing down at great speed!

A terrifying blade aura, as if cleaving spacetime in two, sliced the black hole horizontally!

The Immortal Emperor Toad's incarnation could not block it at all, splitting directly in two, with countless grand dao divine patterns instantly shattered!

The boss's white robes fluttered as he clenched his five fingers, having cut down the Immortal Emperor Toad's incarnation, then flung it away directly.

A huge, immense cauldron phantom rose up.

Afterward, within the other two black holes, beside the immortals, white‑clad figures likewise appeared, grasping kitchen knives.

It was the same simple technique: the kitchen knife waved and swept outward.

Thus the will incarnations of the two immortals were cut down.

The female immortal will incarnations manifested from the Golden Toad and the Lotus Lamp were all sliced off; the boss grabbed them with his five fingers, as if sprinkling ingredients into a pot, and tossed them into the rising, immense cauldron.

The three immortal will incarnations were slain, and their immortal essence was intercepted.

Within the cauldron they boiled and surged!

«Li Che, this is the final dish I, in the mortal realm, prepare for Xixi…»

«Its name is, a pot of mixed stew. »

The voice was calm, without a ripple, utterly devoid of fluctuation.

It was as if the three immortal will incarnations were like three great cabbages, tossed into the pot and stewed together.

Li Che's head buzzed, the corner of his mouth twitched—Boss, your humor is ice‑cold……

Boom——!!

The bronze cauldron instantly expanded; after the three immortal essences were intercepted, it truly became a chaotic stew, transforming into the purest order divine patterns, boiling within the pot.

The big black dog let out a long howl, turning into a feral hound, like a demon crawling out of purgatory, with countless molten‑like patterns intertwining across its flesh, surging like a river of magma!

He hoisted the bronze grand cauldron and charged it toward the Heaven's Will Cleaver above the firmament!

Boom——!!

The nine ancient symbols flashed simultaneously; the fully charged Heaven's Will Cleaver, bearing the terrifying apocalyptic might of heaven and earth, came crashing down……

In an instant it cleaved into the bronze grand cauldron.

Faintly, the immortal essence beneath the cleaver was obliterated inch by inch, order collapsing!

Li Che stared, stunned, at this sight.

Such means are simply terrifying!

Hum——

White robes fluttering, the boss appeared beside Li Che, holding an unlit cigarette.

The big black dog's legs seemed to go weak; Li Che could faintly see it trembling and swaying slightly.

As if sensing Li Che's gaze, the big black dog grunted, straightening its legs a bit more, yet its swaying frequency grew greater.

«It's time to set out; the three immortals' wills, enthusiastic in helping us block the will of heaven and earth…… can only hold it off for a brief moment. »

While the will of heaven and earth is obscured, we should enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, making heaven and earth's will mistakenly think the Prison Lotus Maiden's destiny correction is already done, buying time.

The boss said lightly.

The words fell.

The atmosphere instantly sank.

Xixi's eyes were brimming with tears; Li Che loosened his grip, and the lingering pure-hearted divinity within Xixi helped her suppress the Prison Lotus curse power...

Don't worry, Dad has always been here.

Li Che smiled as he rubbed Xixi's head, his eyes extremely gentle.

Just treat Xixi as having grown up and gone out to train; Dad will soon bring Mom to find you... Our family will surely reunite.

Xixi's eyes lit up, yet she did not doubt the truth of Li Che's words.

She believed, she had always believed.

Because Dad has never deceived her; whatever he promises her, he can fulfill!

This time is no exception!

Suddenly.

The boss, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, frowned slightly, his complexion undergoing a slight change.

Damn dog.

The big black dog immediately hoisted Xixi onto its back; the boss lightly pressed on Xixi's back, and the Prison Lotus curse on her was once again suppressed.

Go!

The boss gave Li Che a deep look.

Li Che's gaze remained fixed on Xixi, who was carried on the big black dog's back.

Find the way to ascend to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; you should have a method, right?

The boss asked.

Upon hearing this, Li Che solemnly and earnestly nodded.

Don't worry, I will definitely find it!

Even if there is no path, he will surely carve one out!

Boom——!!!

No further words.

The big black dog bore Xixi, instantly vanishing from the spot.

And the boss likewise stepped lightly; in just three steps, he appeared at the place where the black hole lingered after the three immortal will avatars were slain.

The three black holes merged together, forming an ancient gate.

The Third Prince stepped on the Fire Wind Wheel, hoisted the Fire Tip Spear, and came rushing forward.

The three persons and one dog instantly crashed into the black hole.

Above the firmament, the bronze cauldron that blocked the Heaven's Will Sabre rang with a dong.

It rapidly shrank, as if it had been chopped away.

Turning into a stream of light, it fell into the black hole.

The Heaven's Will Sabre, instantly enveloped by terrifying power and pressure, wildly slashed downward!

However...

Faced with this terrifying power that slays everything...

Li Che's black robe billowed, his jet-black, vigorous hair dancing wildly.

He stood stunned, gazing at the black hole that, after being slain by the Heaven's Will Sabre, collapsed and dissipated...

Terrible turbulence raged, surging pressure swept over, the sounds of explosions and roars echoed without cease.

Yet Li Che seemed utterly unaware.

Before his eyes...

Images of Xixi from birth, year by year, flickered before his eyes in a fleeting glance.

Li Che clenched his five fingers into a fist.

Xixi, wait for Dad!

And also...

The immortals of the Dark Heavenly Court, Black Sumeru, and Strange Demon Cave divine factions...

Li Che closed his eyes.

Then slowly opened them.

I just want to quietly watch my daughter grow up...

Why are you forcing me?!
