A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 272

Chapter 272: The Ancient Star Road Restores Stability — Zi You vs. Sheng Yu

Five years had passed in the blink of an eye. During these five years, with the help of the Violet Thunderfinch Clan, Wu Yidao gradually completed the deployment of the Spatial Stabilization Grand Array.

“Now, it’s only the final step left. Once that’s done, the Spatial Stabilization Grand Array will be complete, and the Ancient Star Road will be stabilized.”

Looking at the Spatial Stabilization Grand Array before him, Wu Yidao’s eyes shone with excitement. It was thanks to Zi You and the others standing guard here all these years that he was able to steadily lay out the array. Otherwise, it would have been impossible.

After all, star beasts would sporadically emerge from the collapsing Ancient Star Road to cause havoc. If Wu Yidao’s cultivation had been a bit weaker, he might have been able to handle it, but sometimes opponents appeared at the level of Immortal Sovereign or even Immortal Venerable—those were foes beyond what Wu Yidao could manage.

Although Wu Yidao’s cultivation had improved over these five years, advancing from the Intermediate Stage of Immortal King to the Late Stage, he was still not powerful enough to confront Immortal Venerable-level enemies.

Five years earlier, the Holy Light Eagle Clan and the Violet Thunderfinch Clan had erupted into full-scale war, but in the early stages, neither clan’s top-tier elites really took the field. That meant Wu Yidao’s deployment of the grand array hadn’t been disturbed.

“Fellow Daoist Wu, if only the final step remains, then hurry and complete it,” Zi Lei said, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Over these five years, she had witnessed Wu Yidao’s incredible talent firsthand, simultaneously arranging the array and breaking through cultivation bottlenecks. Which family had such a prodigy?

“Mm, the last step is simply to place the Dao Stone engraved with spatial runes inside,” Wu Yidao replied solemnly, gazing at the Dao Stone in his hand.

As the name suggests, a Dao Stone is a rock capable of withstanding power on the Dao level—not easy to come by. Fortunately, the Violet Thunderfinch Clan happened to possess one.

After engraving the spatial runes onto the Dao Stone, Wu Yidao didn’t hesitate. He placed the Dao Stone in the center of the Spatial Stabilization Grand Array.

The next moment, a faint blue glow radiated from the Dao Stone, spreading outward. When it touched the other array stones in the formation, the runes on those stones also activated.

Before long, the Spatial Stabilization Grand Array encircling the Ancient Star Road emitted waves of pale blue light. As that light reached the forces causing the road’s collapse, those chaotic energies were suppressed.

“Given the current conditions, it will take only two to three years for the Ancient Star Road to fully stabilize. Then, we’ll be able to travel through it to realms beyond the Upper Realm,” Wu Yidao and Zi Lei said with exhilaration.

Wu Yidao was thrilled because he had found a way to breakthrough beyond the Immortal Emperor level, while Zi Lei was excited that the Spatial Stabilization Grand Array was finally complete.

But before either could celebrate for long, in the next instant a terrifying disturbance surged from outside.

“This is… the battle aura of an Immortal Emperor-level fight!”Has Sheng Yu started attacking?”

Zi Lei’s expression was extremely grim as she turned and rushed out.

Seeing this, Wu Yidao quickly followed. During this period, he had developed good relations with the Violet Thunderfinch Clan and naturally wouldn’t stand by if they were in trouble.

If the Violet Thunderfinch Clan couldn’t withstand the Holy Light Eagle Clan, he wouldn’t hesitate to step in and help them break free.

The moment Zi Lei and Wu Yidao appeared, they saw Sheng Yu and Zi You locked in fierce battle high up in the sky, while the Great Elder and others around were blocking the aura of their intense fight.

“Damn it, to choose the battlefield inside the clan territory—truly sinister.”

Zi Lei’s face darkened as she watched the scene. She hadn’t expected Sheng Yu to be so cunning, launching the attack directly within the Violet Thunderfinch Clan’s land. If that were the case, the other experts there would only be able to hold back the aftershocks of the fight. Otherwise, the residual energy from the battle between two Immortal Emperor-level warriors could easily flatten the entire Violet Thunderfinch territory.

Wu Yidao’s expression was also very serious, but he soon spoke.

“Given the current situation, Zi You should win soon, but we can’t rule out the possibility that Sheng Yu still has hidden tricks.”

Judging by the situation, Sheng Yu would soon be defeated by Zi You. However, Immortal Emperor-level warriors rarely reveal all their cards right away, so Wu Yidao was cautious.

Zi Lei nodded.

“All we can do now is trust our sister.”

At the center of the battlefield, Zi You, while defending against Sheng Yu’s attacks, coldly snorted.

“Hmph, I never expected the clan leader of the Holy Light Eagle Clan to be so treacherous as to choose a sneak attack!”

Sheng Yu was unfazed by Zi You’s words. His assault below intensified.

If not for the Great Elder and others blocking the aftershocks of their battle, half of Buzhou Mountain might have noticed. After all, a duel between Immortal Emperor-level warriors couldn’t be taken lightly.

Though Sheng Yu was a veteran Immortal Emperor, he couldn’t match Zi You’s remarkable talent, and soon he began to lose the upper hand.

“Hey, listen, if this is all the strength you have, then you’re just waiting to die!”

Tens of thousands of bolts of lightning erupted from Zi You’s body, striking Sheng Yu. Seeing this, Sheng Yu could only defend himself in a very awkward manner, but he still inevitably sustained minor injuries.

“Hmph, who will live or die is still uncertain! Light of Annihilation!”

As a dazzling light burst from Sheng Yu’s body, Zili’s expression suddenly changed as well. The Violet Thunderfinch warriors surrounding them—who were blocking the lingering aftershocks of the battle between Sheng Yu and Zi You—immediately began to howl in pain.

“This is bad!”

Zi Lei barely had time to warn before she too painfully covered her eyes.

As for Wu Yidao, he sensed something was wrong. But since the Chaos Bells themselves were protecting him, there was no immediate danger. He only saw a brief flash and then no further abnormalities.

“What a terrifying divine ability.”

Wu Yidao frowned deeply and spoke angrily.

He naturally understood Sheng Yu’s move—it could, for a short time, rob anyone caught in its range of their sight and spiritual awareness, turning them into complete blind fools.

Even Zi You at Immortal Emperor level wouldn’t recover within ten seconds after taking that strike.

But to Sheng Yu, he wasn’t going to give Zi You those ten seconds to recover. After unleashing the Light of Annihilation, Sheng Yu didn’t hesitate and charged toward Zi You with a ferocious smile, as if victory was already assured.

That is—if it weren’t for Wu Yidao.
