A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 30

“You two, which Quasi-Emperor Ancestor do you think the Li Dynasty will send?”

In the shadows, the peak Late Stage Quasi-Emperor Ancestors from the Three Great Dynasties began to speculate. The three Ancestors were Shen Zilei from the Divine Dynasty, Zhan Qianzhong from the Unbeatable Dynasty, and Gao Zhanchao from the Flourishing Dynasty.

“It’s hard to say; after all, the foundation of the Li Dynasty is much more profound than that of our Three Great Dynasties, so I really don’t know who it might be,” Shen Zilei said after some contemplation, his expression extremely grave.

Zhan Qianzhong and Gao Zhanchao nodded in agreement. It should be noted that the total number of Quasi-Emperor Ancestors among the three Great Dynasties was only thirty, whereas the Li Dynasty alone possessed eighteen Quasi-Emperor Ancestors, showcasing its immense strength.

Thus, under normal circumstances, unless two dynasties teamed up, they simply wouldn’t stand a chance against the Li Dynasty.

Just as Gao Zhanchao was about to say something, he suddenly sensed something and his expression became extremely serious.

“It’s coming!”

The moment he finished speaking, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows, standing in front of Wu Rulong.

Upon seeing the person’s face, Shen Zilei and the others couldn’t help but be taken aback.

“Masked, can’t tell who it is, but I can still feel that the person’s cultivation level has reached at least the peak of Quasi-Emperor, so it must be either Li Tianran or Li Xuqing.”

Zhan Qianzhong took a deep breath, his expression turning grim. They had not expected that the Li Dynasty would be so bold as to send a peak Quasi-Emperor Ancestor directly. It was known that even among the other three Great Dynasties, there was only one peak Quasi-Emperor Ancestor each, and they would not have awakened them unless there was a threat of their dynasty’s annihilation.

Now that the Li Dynasty had actually dispatched a peak Quasi-Emperor Ancestor, it naturally made them feel gravely concerned.

“What do we do now? Are we just going to watch as Wu Rulong gets into trouble?”

Gao Zhanchao’s eyes flickered as he asked.

Shen Zilei and Zhan Qianzhong took a deep breath before they spoke.

“What are you afraid of? Did you notice the opponent’s aura? It’s extremely weak, which means their lifespan is almost up, and they’re not in peak condition. Plus, with the three of us, three against one is enough to wear them down!”

After saying this, Shen Zilei and Zhan Qianzhong walked out, while Gao Zhanchao could only let out a helpless sigh and follow them.

Meanwhile,

“Interesting. Did they know the Li Dynasty would take action, so they evacuated everyone in advance?”

Li Tianran pondered gravely, sensing that the Wu Commerce Association was empty behind him. He clearly hadn’t expected Wu Rulong to take such measures.

But there was nothing to be done now; he could only capture Wu Rulong first.

With that thought in mind, Li Tianran fell silent and charged toward Wu Rulong. Just as he was about to reach him, he saw three figures appear in front of Wu Rulong, blocking him.

Upon seeing the faces of the three, Li Tianran’s expression turned solemn. He hadn’t anticipated that the Three Great Dynasties would deploy three Late Stage Quasi-Emperor experts to protect Wu Rulong.

However, even though he had realized this, it was already too late, and he might not be a match for the three of them.

“You three, either get out or die!”

Li Tianran’s entire body was shrouded in heavy disguise, and even his voice was extremely hoarse, making it impossible to tell who he was.

Zhan Qianzhong looked at Li Tianran and snorted coldly.

“We had already figured out that your Li Dynasty would take action against President Wu, so we came early to protect him. But you, disguised so thoroughly, are either Li Tianran or Li Xuqing. If I’m not mistaken, it should be that old guy, Li Tianran.”

“After all, that old fellow doesn’t have much lifespan left, so it wouldn’t be surprising for him to show up.”

One must admit, Zhan Qianzhong’s analysis was quite effective. After hearing his deduction, Li Tianran no longer hesitated and launched a killing blow.

His situation couldn’t afford a drawn-out battle; his condition was worsening, so he had to resolve things quickly, eliminating Zhan Qianzhong and the others first, then capturing Wu Rulong.

Seeing Li Tianran charging toward them, Zhan Qianzhong and Shen Zilei couldn’t help but feel excited. They were both combat specialists, but after breaking through to Quasi-Emperor, they hadn’t fought at all. Now, being able to fight again made them all the happier.

As Zhan Qianzhong and Shen Zilei made their move, Gao Zhanchao didn’t hesitate to follow suit.

In an instant, the fierce battle between the three and Li Tianran was about to begin. However, because Li Tianran was a peak Quasi-Emperor, his cultivation level was higher than that of the three, so he hadn’t found himself at a disadvantage.

However, all of this was merely surface level. Given a bit more time, Li Tianran would no longer be able to hold on. With this thought in mind, he no longer hesitated and chose to summon the deadly weapon he had brought with him.

Shen Zilei and the others sensed something, their expressions shifting slightly. They had no time to dodge, so they could only raise their own life-bound spiritual treasures to block the attack. Even so, they were still sent flying, and when they finally came to a stop, they couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of old blood, their gazes towards Li Tianran revealing a hint of shock.

“This aura… is that an Imperial Weapon? No, it’s a Quasi-Imperial Weapon!”

Before them, a longsword emitting an incredibly brilliant golden light floated in front of Li Tianran. The aura from it made the three Late Stage Quasi-Emperor experts, Shen Zilei included, feel a deep sense of dread.

It was clear that this surpassed the level of Supreme artifacts and had reached that of Quasi-Imperial Weapons. Why wasn’t it a true Imperial Weapon? Because Shen Zilei and the others were all too aware that if it were a true Imperial Weapon, the Li Dynasty would have already become the Fifth Holy Land.

And they definitely wouldn’t have survived under that last sword strike.

Even so, possessing a Quasi-Imperial Weapon, Li Tianran was surely beyond their match. With this in mind, despair filled the hearts of Shen Zilei and the others. They hadn’t anticipated that they had only come to protect one person, only to pay with their lives.

What they hadn’t expected, however, was that after severely wounding the three with one sword strike, Li Tianran paid them no further mind and instead turned to kill Wu Rulong.

From the beginning, his target had always been Wu Rulong alone. Of course, the most important thing was that the previous strike had already consumed a significant amount of his strength; if he continued to pursue a total annihilation, he might not even be able to escape.

Shen Zilei and the others could only watch helplessly as Li Tianran passed in front of them, but in the next moment, they noticed something that changed their expressions slightly.

They realized that throughout everything, Wu Rulong’s expression had never changed. Whether it was Li Tianran’s arrival or their fierce battle, Wu Rulong always held an expression as if he were in complete control, as if Li Tianran before him wasn’t a threat at all.
