A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 349

Chapter 349: Exhausted, But Still Able to Fight

“In that case, let’s test the true power of the Ancient Bell!” Li Pangtian’s voice was filled with excitement. In the next moment, as he controlled the Ancient Bell to slowly float before him, a golden-yellow light emerged from within the bell and flowed into Li Pangtian’s body.

For some reason, seeing that surge of power stirred a profound unease within the Blood Emperor’s heart, but he was powerless to stop it.

As the golden power entered him, Li Pangtian’s aura surged dramatically once again, breaking through from the peak of Immortal Emperor all the way to the Half-step God level!

A brilliant golden radiance exploded from Li Pangtian’s entire body. Even his long hair whipped wildly as if he had become an ancient war god incarnate.

After completing this transformation, Li Pangtian charged once more toward the Blood Emperor. Yet even so, he quickly fell into a disadvantage at the start. The gap in strength was simply too great. Though bolstered by the Ancient Bell, it wasn’t enough to instantly overcome the Blood Emperor.

Elsewhere, inside the Ablaze Mystic Pearl, after Lu Ren brought Xue Yuan and the others inside, their faces were extremely grave. They tried various divine arts to break through this world, but none succeeded.

Until Lu Ren appeared.

The moment Lu Ren arrived, Xue Yuan and the others immediately charged forward without hesitation. This was exactly what Lu Ren had anticipated, so the instant Xue Yuan appeared, Lu Ren resolutely activated the power of the Ablaze Mystic Pearl.

The next second, the power of the Ablaze Mystic Pearl affected Xue Yuan and the others, directly compressing their realms from Immortal Emperor Pinnacle down to Late Stage Immortal Emperor.

“What!”

Xue Yuan and the others couldn’t believe it. They never expected Lu Ren to possess such a terrifying artifact. If he had unleashed it earlier, there was no way they would have been beaten so badly.

But no matter how hard they tried to figure it out, they couldn’t realize that Lu Ren (the author) had simply forgotten to use it earlier.

After using the Ablaze Mystic Pearl’s power to suppress Xue Yuan and the others to a realm one level lower than his own, Lu Ren didn’t hesitate. He controlled the Time Bell and blasted them away.

“You all had a lot of fun beating me earlier, right? Well, now it’s my turn!”

Lu Ren sneered, wielding his long sword as he rushed toward Xue Yuan and the others.

The Blood Soul Sect Elders standing beside Xue Yuan wore grim expressions, secretly feeling some hesitation. After all, they still didn’t know if this was the full power of the Ablaze Mystic Pearl or if there was more yet to be unleashed.

Xue Yuan naturally noticed their change in attitude. His face darkened with anger as he shouted,

“What are you afraid of! He’s only one person. Although he’s one small realm above us, we have over thirty people. Is it possible we can’t take him down?”Everyone, attack together! I’ll hold the front line, and you cover me!”

With that, Xue Yuan charged forward first, engaging Lu Ren in a direct battle. Seeing this, the other Blood Soul Sect warriors gritted their teeth and followed suit.

Despite their combined efforts, the thirty of them couldn’t immediately defeat Lu Ren, though it seemed only a matter of time.

What Lu Ren didn’t notice was that Wu Hao had somehow entered the Ablaze Mystic Pearl. Even he, the Master of the Ablaze Mystic Pearl, hadn’t realized it.

Inside a corner of the Ablaze Mystic Pearl, Wu Hao watched Lu Ren fight the thirty Late Stage Immortal Emperors with a thoroughly amused expression.

“This could actually help speed things up,” Wu Hao thought to himself, then turned his gaze to the only puppet among the thirty Late Stage Immortal Emperors—the Demon Refining Immortal Emperor controlled by the Blood Demon Seed.

With his current eyesight, Wu Hao could clearly see that although most of the Demon Refining Immortal Emperor’s consciousness had been dissolved and consumed by the Blood Demon Seed, a small trace of self-awareness still remained deep within. With just a little help from Wu Hao, this consciousness could awaken.

Thinking this, Wu Hao willed it so, and an invisible force spread out from him, soon reaching the Demon Refining Immortal Emperor who was battling Lu Ren.

Inside the Demon Refining Immortal Emperor’s body, the lingering self-awareness could still perceive what was happening outside, his expression deeply troubled.”Damn it, damn it, damn the Blood Soul Sect! Once I break free, I’ll make sure you pay the price!”

The Demon Refining Immortal Emperor felt as if his consciousness was trapped in a cramped space, unable to move even an inch, let alone turn over.

But in the next moment, he sensed something different. His expression changed sharply in disbelief as he raised his right hand—and then his left.

“Am I back to normal?”

The Demon Refining Immortal Emperor realized that, at some point, his consciousness had returned to normal, fully in control of his body again.

Seeing this, he wasted no time. Without hesitation, he launched a fierce attack against the three Demonic Immortal Emperors directly in front of him, who had their backs completely exposed. One slash cut them down instantly.

“What! Demon Refining, what’s gotten into you?”

The Blood Soul Sect Elder looked on in shock and disbelief. They had witnessed the power of the Blood Demon Seed completely refining the Demon Refining Immortal Emperor—how could he possibly have recovered?

The Demon Refining Immortal Emperor sneered coldly.

“What’s happening to me? I’ve fought my way back from hell. If I don’t take revenge, I’ll be letting down the disciples of Demon Refining Valley!”

As Wu Hao helped the Demon Refining Immortal Emperor recover, he also broke the influence that the Ablaze Mystic Pearl had imposed on him.

Lu Ren, standing nearby, was filled with confusion after sensing this. Something was off—what exactly was going on? Why hadn’t the Ablaze Mystic Pearl been able to suppress the Demon Refining Immortal Emperor’s cultivation to the Late Stage Immortal Emperor level?

But given the current situation, it was clear that the Demon Refining Immortal Emperor held a grudge against the Blood Soul Sect. If he joined forces against the Blood Soul Sect’s strong cultivators, it would definitely work to Lu Ren’s advantage.

With this thought, Lu Ren didn’t hesitate to speak.

“Fellow Daoist of the Demon Refining Path, let’s strike together and slay the Blood Soul Sect’s warriors!”

“All right!”

As the Demon Refining Immortal Emperor replied, Lu Ren immediately launched his attack. With the two joining forces, the Blood Soul Sect’s experts soon found themselves in dire straits.

After about a day had passed, Lu Ren finally seized an opportunity, and with one sword strike, he cut down an Elder of the Blood Soul Sect.

“No, Elder Cai!”

Xue Yuan’s expression was filled with rage. After all, those currently by his side were mostly elders of the Blood Soul Sect who had watched him grow up—how could their bond not be deep?

But Xue Yuan knew this was not the time to lose his composure; otherwise, even more elders would die, and eventually, he would too.

However, it was clear that Xue Yuan had misjudged the situation. Even without losing his mind, their strength wouldn’t hold out for much longer. Death was the only inevitable outcome.
