A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 31

“Dad, why aren’t you making a move?”

As he watched Li Tianran engage with Shen Zilei and the others, Wu Rulong felt a curious tug in his heart.

“Be patient; this isn’t the right time. Let’s just wait and see for now,” Wu Hao conveyed through secret sound transmission. Upon hearing this, Wu Rulong had no choice but to wait.

From the very beginning, Wu Rulong had known that his father had returned and was secretly observing everything from the shadows.

Although he didn’t know what realm his father had reached, Wu Rulong chose to trust him unconditionally. After all, the higher his father’s realm, the more he could sense the immense terror his father possessed in the past, casually gifting him a hundred thousand Supreme Spirit Stones.

Over the years, the resources provided to him were vast, far surpassing the offerings from any Holy Land.

Thus, any member of the Wu Family was now considerably stronger than any disciple from the Holy Land.

When he saw Li Tianran defeating Shen Zilei and the others, advancing toward him, Wu Rulong remained unshaken, fully confident that his father would take action.

Sure enough, the next moment, Wu Hao appeared before Wu Rulong, his expression extremely calm as he looked at Li Tianran and said,

“Either get lost or die!”

Wu Hao could tell that Li Tianran, in his current state, wouldn’t last half a year even if he didn’t kill him; it would be better to let him enjoy the sensation of slowly dying in pain.

However, Li Tianran was merely startled for a moment by Wu Hao’s appearance before he decisively made his move.

At this point, he had no way out—either he had to kill Wu Hao and take Wu Rulong back or he would have to retreat and suffer a painful death due to longevity backlash within six months.

Compared to the latter, Li Tianran preferred the former.

Upon seeing Wu Hao appear, the expressions of Shen Zilei and the others turned to shock. If there were any hidden enemies around, they would definitely have sensed them, yet they hadn’t noticed Wu Hao’s presence at all.

This meant that Wu Hao’s realm was certainly above theirs, having undoubtedly reached the peak of Quasi-Emperor.

Thinking of this, a wave of dread washed over Shen Zilei and the others; thankfully, they hadn’t attacked Wu Rulong just now but chose to protect him. Otherwise, if Wu Hao were to intervene, they would undoubtedly face certain death.

However, the current situation was not optimistic either. With Li Tianran wielding a Quasi-Imperial Weapon, his strength far exceeded that of an ordinary peak Quasi-Emperor, and Wu Hao might not necessarily be a match for him.

Li Tianran also had the same thought as he controlled the Quasi-Imperial Weapon to attack Wu Hao.

But the next moment, a shocking scene unfolded. Wu Hao merely extended two fingers and easily deflected the Quasi-Imperial Weapon’s strike, which could have destroyed the entire Li Dynasty.

The shock in Li Tianran’s pupils was now impossible to suppress; it was evident that Wu Hao’s power had surpassed his imagination.

“You’re not just a peak Quasi-Emperor; you’re a Great Emperor!”

Li Tianran spoke with disbelief, even forgetting to disguise his surprise. If Wu Hao was indeed a Great Emperor, then his disguise would be meaningless—it would be easy for Wu Hao to uncover his true identity.

Moreover, apart from the realization that Wu Hao was a Great Emperor, Li Tianran simply could not comprehend how Wu Hao could withstand the full force of the Quasi-Imperial Weapon so effortlessly.

Not far away, Shen Zilei and the others were also stunned. They initially thought Wu Hao was just an ordinary peak Quasi-Emperor, but to their surprise, he seemed to be a Great Emperor.

It should be noted that there were no Great Emperors in the Xuantian Realm at this time, neither openly nor covertly.

Legend had it that a grave incident occurred in the Xuantian Realm long ago, causing a break in the path to Great Emperor, preventing future generations from reaching that level. Therefore, the highest any cultivator could now reach in the Xuantian Realm was merely peak Quasi-Emperor.

Going any further was simply impossible.

If they had just been speculating that Wu Hao was a Great Emperor earlier, the scene that followed confirmed their belief that Wu Hao indeed was a Great Emperor.

They saw Wu Hao apply slight pressure with his two fingers, and a web-like pattern of cracks appeared on the Quasi-Imperial Weapon, which shattered in the next moment.

“Hey, I wasn’t even serious yet. How could your Quasi-Imperial Weapon break so easily?” Wu Hao glanced at Li Tianran, the mockery in his eyes completely unhidden.

Seeing this, Li Tianran felt a mix of anger and fear. He had never expected to encounter a Great Emperor in his lifetime, and worse yet, this Great Emperor was an enemy of the Li Dynasty.

With this thought, Li Tianran held the firm belief that he would never betray the Li Dynasty and prepared to self-destruct in front of Wu Hao. However, it was clear that Wu Hao would not allow him to self-destruct.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Hao snapped his fingers, and Li Tianran couldn’t even self-destruct before being killed outright by Wu Hao’s strike.

After eliminating Li Tianran, Wu Hao couldn’t help but sigh and say, “Ah, I wasn’t even trying, yet he died so easily.”

In the distance, Shen Zilei and the others felt that Wu Hao’s actions were somewhat showy, but they had no intention of contradicting him; after all, Wu Hao truly had the capital to show off.

Having confirmed that Wu Hao was indeed a Great Emperor, Shen Zilei and the others, ignoring their injuries, hurriedly got to their feet and rushed towards Wu Hao.

“Thank you, senior, for saving our lives!”

It was no joke; the Wu Hao before them was a Great Emperor. Although they had no idea how he had broken through to become a Great Emperor, that didn’t stop them from trying to win his favor. This man was a Great Emperor!

The presence of a Great Emperor was far more terrifying than that of an Imperial Weapon. While a Quasi-Emperor wielding an Imperial Weapon could achieve combat power equal to that of a Great Emperor, a Great Emperor would not give a Quasi-Emperor the opportunity to activate an Imperial Weapon—at least not a particularly powerful Great Emperor wouldn’t.

“Get up. Since you fought against them for the sake of my son, take these three pills. They will help you recover from your injuries,” Wu Hao said before casually tossing three elixirs to Shen Zilei and the others.

Seeing Wu Hao grant them the elixirs, Shen Zilei and the others fumbled to catch them. It didn’t matter that Wu Hao offered them elixirs; even if he had given them his waste, they would have to accept it with a smile and say it smelled great. That was the terrifying nature of a Great Emperor.

Upon noticing the quality of the elixirs, Shen Zilei and the others couldn’t help but gasp in shock!

“These are actually Emperor Grade Elixirs!”

Elixirs had different tiers, ranging from low to high: Yellow, Xuan, Earth, Sky, followed by Saint-level elixirs, Supreme-level elixirs, and finally Emperor Grade Elixirs.

Emperor Grade Elixirs, as the name suggests, were elixirs meant for Great Emperors. Given their current situation, swallowing Emperor Grade Elixirs would not only help them recover from their injuries but would likely also allow them to break through to the peak of Quasi-Emperor!
