A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 393

Chapter 393: Taboo Existence, The Death of Makoto Ito

“Oh, interesting. One of the pieces I left behind has been wiped out?”

Within a certain Great World in the void, a pair of crimson eyes slowly opened, gazing toward the direction where Emperor Jingrang had fallen, murmuring to itself.

Its entire body was shrouded by a black robe; even a God Emperor-level cultivation could not pierce its presence. This being was the Taboo Existence that had previously bestowed Emperor Jingrang with the Taboo Technique.

“But it doesn’t really matter anymore. It was originally just a backup plan—once he used the Taboo Technique to break into the Divine Venerable Realm, he would become my piece. Now that there are other pieces left, that one piece being gone is no big deal.”

The Taboo Existence looked toward the Great World it inhabited. The Great World itself was now enveloped by the power of the taboo, giving off an eerie, unsettling aura that could disturb and agitate anyone with just a glance.

“Husband, are you alright?”

Facing the sudden turn of events just now, Su Qiaoran hadn’t even fully processed what had happened. By the time she realized, Emperor Jingrang had already been engulfed by that crimson power and had directly self-destructed.

Worried about Wu Hao being hurt, Su Qiaoran hurriedly asked.

Wu Hao shook his head, his expression extremely grave. Although he had only just glimpsed a fragment of memory, he already understood the origin of the Taboo Technique.

“Why did that person give Emperor Jingrang the Taboo Technique? If he used it to break through to the God Venerable level, wouldn’t Emperor Jingrang turn into a statue—a statue imbued with the power of the taboo?”

“What exactly is that person planning to do?”

Wu Hao’s expression grew extremely serious as he recalled the memories he had just glimpsed of Emperor Jingrang.

He saw the powerful being Emperor Jingrang had coincidentally encountered, but even through the memories, Wu Hao couldn’t discern the true appearance of that entity—only that it was terrifyingly strong.

From Emperor Jingrang’s memories, Wu Hao also learned how the Forbidden Divine Source was refined from the Taboo Origin. Naturally, Emperor Jingrang’s insight wasn’t enough to see what consequences would arise from refining too much Forbidden Divine Source.

But Wu Hao could tell that refining an excessive amount of Forbidden Divine Source would likely drive cultivators insane—not only those refining it but also those who saw, approached, or sensed the presence of the Forbidden Divine Source, turning them into frenzied, mindless beings.

“Looks like I’ve come into contact with a formidable existence,” Wu Hao muttered, shaking his head and deciding not to dwell on the matter further. After all, given the current situation, it might still take tens of thousands of years before that entity takes action against the entire Divine Realm, and in that time, Wu Hao himself would have already become the Heavenly Emperor.

“All right, the battle over by Li Yuping’s side should be ending soon. Let’s get ready. That Secret Realm is about to open, and it’s almost time for you to go in.”Wu Hao looked at Su Qiaoran, then waved his hand broadly to release Li Yuping and Makoto Ito from the Time Domain.

The moment they were released, Makoto Ito fell into a world, his aura extremely weak. It was clear he had been badly beaten by Li Yuping.

“Cough, cough. Li Yuping, I never expected you to grow so much in such a short time. Senior, take me in. My talent far surpasses hers. Take me in, and I will satisfy you even more than Li Yuping,” Makoto Ito said with a grimace as he glared first at Li Yuping, then quickly pleaded to Wu Hao.

Not seeing their Master the moment they came out, Makoto Ito knew their Master was likely in grave danger or worse, so the immediate priority was to survive.

From Makoto Ito’s perspective, Wu Hao had accepted Li Yuping probably because of her exceptional talent. If he could show his own talent, maybe Wu Hao would accept him too.

At that moment, Wu Hao shook his head and spoke coldly to Makoto Ito, “I accepted Li Yuping not because of her talent. In fact, even if your talent were strong enough to break through to God Emperor level, I still wouldn’t accept you. I accept disciples based solely on my mood. Even a mortal, I can make into a God Emperor.”

Hearing this, Makoto Ito instinctively chose not to believe it. If Wu Hao could easily create a God Emperor, why hadn’t he heard of someone like Wu Hao in the Divine Realm?

Yet, deep inside, a faint voice told him that it was true.”Senior, I know I was wrong. None of this was my own intention; it was Master who ordered me to do it. I am willing to become your servant—please spare my life!” Makoto Ito wept bitterly, seeming genuinely remorseful.

But Wu Hao simply shook his head, then turned his gaze to Li Yuping.

“So, what do you plan to do?” he asked.

“Master, I want to send him on his way,” Li Yuping replied without hesitation. To her, Makoto Ito was an enemy—an existence that must be extinguished. If he did not die, she would never be able to find peace.

Upon hearing this, Wu Hao nodded.

Li Yuping understood that Wu Hao meant for her to take action, so without another word, she struck with a single sword, killing Makoto Ito outright.

Until his last moment, Makoto Ito did not understand why—his talent was even greater, so why hadn’t Wu Hao chosen him instead of Li Yuping? But by then, none of those questions mattered.

After Makoto Ito died, Wu Hao waved his hand, and he saw a drop of blood fly out from where Makoto Ito had fallen, swiftly arriving in Wu Hao’s hand.“Although Makoto Ito is dead, the Yi Clan behind him still exists. If the members of the Yi Clan are not completely wiped out, then what’s the difference from leaving behind a hidden disaster?”

Wu Hao spoke slowly. The next moment, intricate runes shot out from his hand and flowed into the drop of Makoto Ito’s blood.

“In my name, I command all curses: purge and annihilate.”

As Wu Hao’s words fell, the drop of blood shot out at incredible speed toward the distance, its target the surviving members of the Yi Clan.

After finishing this, Wu Hao turned to Su Qiaoran and said, “Alright, that Secret Realm will open in just one day. Let’s go prepare.”

“Okay.”

Su Qiaoran nodded in agreement. Wu Hao then waved his hand and led Su Qiaoran and Li Yuping away, heading in the direction of the Secret Realm.

As for Jiang Wanjing, who was currently breaking through a critical barrier to the Late Stage of God Emperor, Wu Hao didn’t bring him along. Instead, he gave Jiang Wanjing the spatial coordinates of that Secret Realm and told him to come once his meditation was complete.

Meanwhile, the drop of blood influenced by Wu Hao’s power sped rapidly toward the Yi Clan’s location, arriving there shortly afterward.As the blood drop arrived, a chilling scene unfolded.

Among the dense forest vines and towering ancient trees, the few surviving members of the Yi Clan were cautiously gathering, sensing something ominous in the air.

Suddenly, that single drop of blood shattered into countless tiny fragments, each fragment carrying the imprinted curse seals sent by Wu Hao.

Within moments, the cursed fragments attached themselves to the bodies of the Yi Clan members.

One by one, their faces twisted in agony, their spiritual energy violently disrupted, and their life forces rapidly drained.

Screams echoed as the clan members collapsed, their bodies withering quickly until only lifeless husks remained.

In under a breath, the entire surviving branch of the Yi Clan was wiped out—completely annihilated without a trace.

Back in the direction of the Secret Realm, Wu Hao led Su Qiaoran and Li Yuping through the dense wilds, their expressions focused and resolute.

“There’s no room for hesitation,” Wu Hao said quietly. “This time, we must grab the opportunity before anyone else does.”

Su Qiaoran nodded. “I understand.”

The trio quickened their pace, heading toward the opening of the Secret Realm, where fate awaited their next challenge.
