A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 252

Chapter 252: I Have My Own Choice

Seeing that Wu Li was dead set on fighting to the death, Wen Tianren grew anxious as well. But with Zhang Tie tightly entangling him, escape was impossible. Although he didn’t know the full extent of Wu Li’s skill in arrays, Wen Tianren was well aware that under no circumstances could he allow Wu Li to complete what he was trying to do. Otherwise, he would surely end up dead or severely wounded.

He had contacted his followers, but even for their Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivations, it would take some time to arrive. By the time they came, things would likely be beyond salvage.

Soon enough, Wen Tianren noticed Nangong Wan standing not far off, and his eyes lit up. He shouted out to her, “Fellow Daoist over there—since you’re standing aside without intervening, I assume you don’t want to become my enemy in the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect. I promise you this: if you slay this traitor, I will bring you back to the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect and you may apprentice under any Immortal Emperor Elder you choose. How’s that?”

Originally, Nangong Wan had stayed on the sidelines because she didn’t see any reason to get involved. But hearing Wen Tianren actually offer her the chance to attack Wu Li caught her off guard. She admitted the offer was extremely generous and tempting, but that was only meaningful if she lived to enjoy it.

What’s more, Wen Tianren’s fortune energy had been purple at first, but after less than two and a half hours of fighting Wu Li, it had plummeted sharply to orange—and it didn’t look like it would stop there. Under these circumstances, if she moved against Wu Li, it would be suicide.

As for Wu Li, upon hearing Wen Tianren’s words, he readied his trump cards. If Nangong Wan showed any sign of hostility, he wouldn’t hesitate to strike her down right here. With his current abilities, suppressing even another Great Luo Golden Immortal in the Initial Stage wouldn’t be difficult.

The next moment, Nangong Wan spoke up. “Wen Holy Son, am I stupid to consider attacking Daoist Wu? Wu Daoist is my teammate. If I could even lay hands on a teammate, and news of that got out, how could I possibly continue in this world?”

After saying that, a hint of mockery appeared in Nangong Wan’s gaze toward Wen Tianren. This made Wen Tianren furious, but even if he burst with anger, he was powerless against Nangong Wan and Wu Li.

Wu Li, however, didn’t let his guard down after hearing Nangong Wan; after all, no one could know if her words and actions would truly align.

But since Nangong Wan genuinely did not intervene, Wu Li quickly finished setting up the array.

The following second, 360 massive beams of light shot up from the ground as the array’s aura erupted. The terrifying energy it emitted was so intense that even the Immortals inside the Azure Thunder Secret Realm sensed it and couldn’t help but exchange serious looks.

“What a terrifying aura. This must be at least at the level of an Immortal King.”

“Hiss, we’d better stay out of this. An Immortal King crushing a Great Luo Golden Immortal? That’s just too easy.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Since that’s the case, let’s just pretend nothing happened.”

After sensing the terrifying aura, most of the Immortals chose not to intervene. After all, they more or less guessed that this was likely the work of an Immortal King-level expert. For Great Luo Golden Immortals to get involved would be suicidal.

However, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect thought differently. Upon feeling that aura, the expressions of the Great Luo Golden Immortal disciples of the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect turned grim, and their footsteps quickened.

If something happened to the Holy Son here, returning to the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect would probably be a disaster for them. Given how fiercely the Holy Lord protected his own, they would most likely end up as Wen Tianren’s sacrificial victims.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Wen Tianren’s face turned extremely fearful after sensing the power of the array.

“How is this possible? This is a Sixth-Grade Immortal Array, how could you—a mere Little Immortal King—possibly be a Sixth-Grade Immortal Array Master!”

Arrays are ranked from first to ninth grade, with the eighth and ninth grades collectively known as Immortal Emperor Array Masters. As the name suggests, the arrays set up by these masters have a significant effect even on Immortal Emperors.

A Sixth-Grade Immortal Array already has a great effect on Immortal Sovereigns, let alone on someone who is just a Little Immortal King. A Sixth-Grade Immortal Array is enough to crush him.

Thinking of this, Wen Tianren struggled more frantically. Deep crimson lightning surged from his body, exploding outward toward the surroundings. Any ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal touched by it would instantly perish.

Wu Li’s expression grew extremely solemn as he shouted, “Watch out!”

Actually, there was no need for Wu Li to say a word; Nangong Wan already knew this. She used every trick she had, but still could only barely block the lightning.

In contrast, Wu Li reached out his hand. Instantly, the 360 beams of light in the array erupted in dazzling brilliance, all rushing toward Wu Li to shield him. Thousands of bolts of lightning were all blocked before the shimmering shield.

“Array, rise!”

With a powerful shout from Wu Li, countless rays of light surged forth from the 360 pillars, enveloping his body. His aura became terrifying within moments, enough to make Wen Tianren, who was in the Initial Stage of the Immortal King realm, shudder involuntarily under the pressure.

Not far away, as Wen Tianren’s lightning disappeared, Nangong Wan finally caught her breath. Looking back at the array, her eyes reflected deep thought. Soon, she realized something and instinctively gasped.

“Hiss, this is the Hundred Thousand Radiant Array!”

Clearly, Nangong Wan had recognized the array. As the Holy Son of the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect, Wen Tianren naturally recognized it as well, his expression extremely ugly.

Wu Li, however, remained silent and turned toward Wen Tianren, saying, “It’s time for you to make your move!”

“Ha, haha! Who lives and who dies is still uncertain!” Wen Tianren roared. In the next moment, he forced Zhang Tie back with a spear and then charged toward Wu Li.

Seeing this, Wu Li sighed. Just as he was about to strike a killing blow with his fist, he didn’t expect Wen Tianren to suddenly self-destruct right in front of him.

The destructive power of an Immortal King’s self-detonation was not something Wu Li could take lightly—half of the Azure Thunder Secret Realm could be affected.

The moment Wu Li saw Wen Tianren explode, he had no time to think further. He mobilized all his strength to suppress the self-detonation. With the support of the Hundred Thousand Radiant Array, Wu Li’s power temporarily reached the Early Immortal Sovereign level.

Suppressing Wen Tianren’s relatively small self-detonation was effortless. However, after the suppression was complete, Wu Li furrowed his brows, sensing something was off. He glanced toward the distance.

In the distance, a figure was seen fleeing in a desperate and disorganized manner—it was none other than Wen Tianren.
