A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 348

Chapter 348: Chaotic Battle

“They have their fight, you have your fight, and your fight is me.”

Wu Qilong stood in front of them, his expression extremely calm.

Although Wu Qilong’s strength might not match that of Li Pangtian or the Blood Emperor, he was more than capable of holding off Xue Yuan and the others.

Seeing Wu Qilong, Xue Yuan and the others grew solemn. They all sensed the terrifying power he possessed—a True Dragon whose bloodline was showing signs of evolving toward a Divine Dragon, combined with his cultivation level on the verge of breaking through to Divine Rank.

He might not be able to take on thirty opponents at once, but holding off thirty was definitely within his reach.

“Attack together!”

Xue Yuan shouted angrily. As soon as he spoke, the Blood Soul Sect warriors around him stopped hesitating and charged at Wu Qilong.

Not far away, Lu Ren and the others watched this unfold, their faces filled with worry. After all, Wu Qilong didn’t look to have broken through to Divine Rank yet—could he really hold off thirty attackers by himself?

Just then, a figure appeared beside them and spoke slowly.

“Don’t worry, Ancestor might not be able to kill all thirty, but holding them off is definitely possible.”

“And you are?”

Zhang Jie asked with some confusion.

“Wu Family, Wu Qitian,” Wu Qitian replied with a smile, then looked toward a nearby area and said slowly,

“Get ready. The enemies aren’t just these few.”

Following the direction Wu Qitian was looking, they saw that the entire Demonic Faction, subjugated by the Blood Soul Sect across the Xuanyuan Realm, was rushing toward them to join the battle.

Except for the Blood Cloud Sect.

After seeing this, Lu Ren and the others instinctively tried to stand and join the fight, but their severely injured bodies left them without the strength even to stand.

“Damn it, are we really just going to helplessly watch everything unfold?”

Zhang Jie slammed his fist onto the ground in anger, while beside him, Wu Qitian calmly took out four elixirs and handed them to them.

“These are from Grandfather. Take them quickly and start refining them.”

Before Wu Qitian set out, Wu Hao had given him these four elixirs. They were genuine Divine Pills—so powerful that even an Immortal Emperor on the brink of death could instantly recover to full strength with their help.

Hearing this, Lu Ren and the others felt a surge of gratitude toward Wu Hao. They immediately took the elixirs and swallowed them to begin refining right away.

The moment the elixirs entered their bodies, Lu Ren and the others instantly sensed an incredibly terrifying and pure power rapidly spreading through them. Wherever the power touched, recovery happened in the blink of an eye.

Within just a few breaths, they restored themselves to their peak condition. Even Zhang Jie’s severed arm began healing visibly fast, soon returning to its original state.

Witnessing the strength of the elixirs, Lu Ren and the others grew even more reverent toward Wu Hao.

At that moment, Lu Ren suddenly remembered something and slapped his own forehead in frustration. This sudden gesture startled Zhang Jie and the others, who couldn’t help but ask with curiosity,

“Old Lu, did the elixirs make you foolish?”

“No, it’s not that. It’s just that things were urgent earlier, and I forgot something important.”

Lu Ren slowly shook his head. Earlier, when things were urgent, he had instinctively summoned the Time Bell but had forgotten the dowry that Wu Hao had given him earlier—the Ablaze Mystic Pearl.

The moment Lu Ren pulled out the Ablaze Mystic Pearl, the expressions of Zhang Jie and the others changed. With their keen eyes, they immediately recognized that the Ablaze Mystic Pearl Lu Ren held was far more powerful than a Nine-grade Immortal Emperor Artifact—in other words, it was a Divine Artifact!

As soon as he revealed the Ablaze Mystic Pearl, Lu Ren’s confidence soared. If he hadn’t seen Li Pangtian and the Blood Emperor locked in an intense battle, he would have rushed in on his own.

Though he couldn’t unleash the full power of the Time Bell, he could still bring out much of the Ablaze Mystic Pearl’s strength.

“Senior, leave them all to me!”

On Wu Qilong’s side, although Blood Yuan and the others couldn’t defeat Wu Qilong quickly, in the long run, Wu Qilong was definitely doomed to lose.

The moment he clashed with Blood Yuan and the others, Wu Qilong regretted it. Had he known how strong they were, he wouldn’t have shown off.

So after hearing Lu Ren’s words, Wu Qilong seized the opportunity, swinging his True Dragon tail to force Blood Yuan and the others back, then said, “Since this fellow Daoist insists, then I’ll leave them to you. Otherwise, with my strength, they definitely won’t hold out much longer!”

Wu Qilong spoke seriously. If it weren’t for his light wounds and his current damaged state, Lu Ren and the others might have actually believed him.

After Wu Qilong descended, Lu Ren turned his gaze to Xue Yuan and the others, letting out a cold snort. “You were pretty proud just now, weren’t you? Since that’s the case, come with me for another round!”

As soon as Lu Ren finished speaking, the Ablaze Mystic Pearl suddenly flew out, immediately drawing Xue Yuan and the others inside it. After absorbing Xue Yuan, Lu Ren himself entered the Ablaze Mystic Pearl as well.

At the moment Lu Ren activated the Ablaze Mystic Pearl, the Blood Emperor’s expression grew extremely serious. Naturally, he sensed that the Ablaze Mystic Pearl was roughly the same grade as the Divine Artifact in his own hand.

In other words, Lu Ren also possessed a Divine Artifact.

“No, we have to end Li Pangtian quickly,” the Blood Emperor said grimly. Without hesitation, he summoned a blood-red pearl from within his body.

The instant the blood-red pearl appeared, countless streams of blood energy surged from it, pouring into the Blood Emperor’s body.

With the support of the Blood Pearl, the Blood Emperor’s realm instantly broke through from Initial Stage God to Intermediate Stage God.

But despite this, his expression turned quite grim. If it weren’t for necessity, he wouldn’t have dared to use the Blood Pearl at all. After all, The Emissary had once warned him that using it too often would damage his foundation and hinder future cultivation; otherwise, he would have relied on it from the very start.

Even on the day he went to war against the Five Holy Lords, the Blood Emperor had only used the Blood Pearl out of absolute necessity.

As soon as he used the Blood Pearl, Li Pangtian immediately felt enormous pressure. He could barely hold his ground against a God at the Initial Stage, but against one at the Intermediate Stage, that was a whole different level.

The Blood Emperor suddenly unleashed a fierce punch. The terrifying power made the Azure Dragon and others fighting nearby stop in unison, forced to use all their strength just to withstand the shockwave.

Despite that, they were still driven back, showing how much stronger a God’s power is compared to an Immortal Emperor’s. Even Zhang Jie and the others looked grim, never expecting the Blood Emperor to be this powerful—just the aftershock alone almost overwhelmed them.

“In this situation, can old Li really be a match?”

Zhang Jie and the others couldn’t help but glance at Li Pangtian, their eyes full of worry.

Yet, Li Pangtian’s face showed no trace of fear. In fact, his fighting spirit seemed even stronger than before.
