A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 273

Chapter 273 Instant Kill

“Chaos, you can step in, right?”

Seeing Sheng Yu charging toward Zi You, Wu Yidao’s expression grew serious as he communicated with Chaos.

With Chaos’s appearance, everything outside came to a halt. The power of a God Venerable paused even a brief flow of time in the Upper Realm—making it feel incredibly easy.

“Of course, I can just step in and instantly kill him,” Chaos said as he turned to look at Sheng Yu, his eyes full of disdain.

“Then what are you waiting for?” Wu Yidao asked, perplexed.

“But I’d rather have you personally finish him off.”

“Me? With my current state, I won’t reach Immortal Venerable cultivation without at least a millennium’s time.”

Wu Yidao frowned deeply at this.

Chaos just shook his head.

“In that case, I’ll lend you some of my power.”

As Chaos extended his hand, an incredibly pure force surged from his body into Wu Yidao’s in the next moment.

At the same time, Wu Yidao’s cultivation level began to soar.

Late Immortal King, Peak Stage, Immortal Sovereign, Immortal Venerable—he advanced steadily all the way to the Initial Stage Immortal Emperor before finally slowing down.

“What is this?”

Wu Yidao said, unable to believe it.

Chaos simply waved his hand and said,

“It’s just a minor secret art. This power is only temporary. Once you slay that Holy Light Eagle in the Heavens, it will automatically revert,” Chaos said.

Hearing this, Wu Yidao couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mindset. He didn’t like the feeling of forcing progress either; it was more reassuring to break through steadily to the Initial Stage Immortal Emperor with solid foundation.

Clenching his fist, Wu Yidao adapted to the power flowing through his body. In an instant, he appeared in front of Sheng Yu. Before Sheng Yu could react, Wu Yidao’s single punch directly struck and killed him.

After killing Sheng Yu, Wu Yidao returned to his original spot. All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Because of this, no one realized it was Wu Yidao who had swiftly and decisively slain Sheng Yu. Moreover, Wu Yidao was only a Late Stage Little Immortal King after all; who would believe he possessed the strength to instantly kill an Initial Stage Immortal Emperor?

Furthermore, after killing Sheng Yu, Wu Yidao’s cultivation level quickly plummeted, soon settling back at the Late Stage Immortal King. Naturally, this made everything even less suspicious.

On the other side, Wu Hao watched his own cultivation surge from Intermediate Divine Stage all the way to the Peak True God with silence.

“So, temporarily boosting cultivation through secret arts can also raise my strength? And it won’t be retracted afterward?” Wu Hao finally came to this conclusion after some thought. Perhaps he could try temporarily elevating future generations using secret arts that wouldn’t harm them—or maybe through arrays or something similar.

However, whether using arrays to boost cultivation would also enhance his own cultivation level, Wu Hao wasn’t sure. Either way, he needed to test it out.

With that in mind, Wu Hao instantly returned to Penglai Immortal Island, intending to set up a grand array there for experimentation.

Meanwhile, ten seconds passed quickly, and Zi You’s senses recovered accordingly. But after seeing Sheng Yu had vanished, Zi You’s expression grew especially serious.

“Unexpectedly, Sheng Yu didn’t attack himself after using that move; instead, he ran away?”

From Zi You’s perspective, Sheng Yu had escaped right after unleashing that technique. After all, she didn’t believe anyone could kill an Initial Stage Immortal Emperor within ten seconds—nor did anyone have a reason to intervene.

“But… what exactly was he afraid of?”

Zi You was somewhat puzzled but didn’t dwell on it too much. Turning around, she saw Zi Lei and the others still unable to see clearly, so she quickly helped restore their senses.

Ten seconds of recovery for an Initial Stage Immortal Emperor, but for those below Immortal Venerable, it might take several days. That was the difference in strength.

After waking up, Zi Lei and the others learned from Zi You that Sheng Yu had used that move and then fled, leaving them feeling utterly baffled.

The Great Elder bowed his head and thought seriously for a moment, soon arriving at a conclusion.

“I’m afraid Sheng Yu was worried that the Clan Leader still had other trump cards. After all, that move should have been his strongest, so if the Clan Leader did have other cards up his sleeve, he probably would have stayed here today.”

“Moreover, judging from what happened earlier, Sheng Yu was clearly no match for the Clan Leader. If he had died here today, the Holy Light Eagle Clan would have surely been wiped out.”

Hearing the Great Elder’s words, everyone present was momentarily stunned, but they soon agreed that the Great Elder made a valid point.

“In any case, the Holy Light Eagle Clan should calm down a bit after today. Even if Sheng Yu returned to his clan territory, he must have suffered considerable injuries, so it’s unlikely he’ll launch another attack on our Violet Thunderfinch Clan anytime soon.”

At this moment, Zi You looked at everyone with a serious tone.

Just then, Wu Yidao spoke up.

“Everyone, the Spatial Stabilization Grand Array has been set up. The Ancient Star Road should stabilize within about a year. By then, we should be able to leave the Upper Realm through it. However, the Ancient Star Road is extremely dangerous. I’ve heard that even the lowest-level star beasts inside are at the Immortal Sovereign level. So I suggest anyone below the Immortal Venerable cultivation stage not enter.”

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder and the others showed joy on their faces, but when they learned about the danger inside the Ancient Star Road, their expressions immediately turned grave.

After a long pause, the Great Elder spoke in a solemn tone.

“There are no new opportunities left in the Upper Realm. If we want to break through to the Immortal Emperor stage, we must find another path. Although the Ancient Star Road is perilous, there’s no other option now.”

The Second Elder and the other Violet Thunderfinches nodded in agreement.

“That’s right. With our cultivation level at Immortal Venerable, if we travel together, maybe we can be a bit safer.”

Seeing that the Great Elder and the others planned to leave the Upper Realm through the Ancient Star Road in search of breakthroughs, Zi You sighed but did not stop them.

At that moment, Wu Yidao spoke again.

“Everyone, if you’re planning to leave the Upper Realm via the Ancient Star Road, why not take me with you?”

“You? Honestly, with your current cultivation, it would be hard for us to take care of you in there,” the Great Elder said, looking at Wu Yidao with a hint of hesitation. However, the tone was no longer as dismissive as before—after all, he had witnessed Wu Yidao’s extraordinary talent during this time.

“If that’s the case, then how about giving me a hundred years? I only need a hundred years to break through to the Immortal Sovereign stage. By then, I won’t be a burden to you.”

Hearing Wu Yidao’s words, the Great Elder and the others wore expressions of shock, yet none immediately voiced any doubts.

It had taken him five years to break through from the Initial Stage of Immortal King to the Intermediate Stage, and another five years to reach the Late Stage. This progression left them without grounds to question him.

Long after, Zi You finally spoke.

“Very well, Great Elder. If it weren’t for Yidao, the Ancient Star Road might not have been able to stabilize at all. So, take him with you.”

“Understood, Clan Leader!”

Since Zi You had spoken, the Great Elder and the others found it difficult to refuse and agreed. They settled on preparing for a hundred years, after which they would leave the Upper Realm directly through the Ancient Star Road.

“A hundred years should be more than enough time to break through to Immortal Sovereign—perhaps even beyond the early stage,” Wu Yidao thought to himself. The reason he chose to break through to Immortal Sovereign before entering was simply that he didn’t want to rely too heavily on the Chaos Bell’s power. For Wu Yidao, relying firmly on his own strength was the true path of a strong cultivator.
