A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 432

Chapter 432: Parasitic Divine Spirits?

“What on earth is going on?”

Watching the scene before her, Su Qiaoran’s expression grew heavy. She hadn’t expected to be ambushed by a large group of Divine Spirits just as she was searching for her opponent.

What was even more important was that Su Qiaoran could tell they were all in a confused state, as if possessed by something.

“Die! All of you must die!”

Soon, the Divine Spirits in front of her roared and charged at Su Qiaoran.

Seeing this, Su Qiaoran quickly took out the talismans Wu Hao had left for her from within her Inner World. The moment she activated them, all the Divine Spirits before her were instantly killed.

Su Qiaoran was no fool. The number of Divine Spirits before her had already reached several hundred. If she had acted on her own, she likely wouldn’t have lasted even a moment, especially since her foundation wasn’t very solid. Reaching the Late Stage Divine Rank was already pushing her limits, let alone facing opponents at the Peak Divine Rank.

So after instantly killing the Divine Spirits, Su Qiaoran took out the Communication Artifact Wu Hao had left her. Although the Divine Rank could block a large portion of Communication Artifact signals, it couldn’t completely block the one Wu Hao had left.

And frankly, if Wu Hao wished, he could easily tear through this Divine Rank barrier and get in directly.After sending the information here to Wu Hao, Su Qiaoran found a place to hide for the time being. Given the current situation, it seemed that something terrifying was happening throughout the Divine Rank realm—something far beyond his control.

Meanwhile, chaos had already broken out within the Divine Rank.

“Damn it, what on earth is going on?”

Ten Peak Divine Rank experts gathered together, their expressions extremely grave. Before them stood several hundred Divine Rank warriors enveloped entirely in an eerie red mist, among whom were many Peak Divine Rank figures.

“I don’t know, but judging by the situation, it looks like they’ve been parasitized by something,” said one Peak Divine Rank expert wearing a pale blue long dress with a cold expression. She was Liu Caiyun, the Holy Maiden of the Tianlu Sect.

Upon hearing Liu Caiyun’s words, the other nine’s faces changed in disbelief as they asked, “What exactly could it be that’s capable of parasitizing Divine Spirits?”

“I don’t know either, but judging by what’s happening, things look very grim. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but any Divine Rank expert who fights against the parasitized ones for more than half an hour will become parasitized themselves, turning into a special kind of being that attacks any living thing they see,” Liu Caiyun said.

Watching the Divine Rank warriors currently locked in battle with those already parasitized, Liu Caiyun’s expression also grew increasingly serious.Below, the Divine Rank experts still fighting against those who had been parasitized began to show signs of infection themselves as time passed. Wisps of ominous red smoke started to rise from their bodies.

After roughly half an hour, they would completely lose their self-awareness and join the ranks of the parasitized Divine Spirit army.

“Let everyone retreat. A war of attrition won’t benefit us. We have to find their weak points before we strike again,” said Li Jiuri, the lead among the Ten Heaven’s Chosen and Holy Son of the Qingyun Sect, standing calmly at the back. He could clearly see that if the battle continued, even the combined strength of all ten of them would not be enough to win.

The other nine nodded in agreement with Li Jiuri’s suggestion. After relaying the order to the Divine Rank warriors still battling, they instructed them to withdraw while they stayed behind to cover the retreat.

After all, the power of these ten was the strongest presence around—they could even take on a True God at the Intermediate Stage together. It was most fitting for them to stay behind and hold the line.

“Go. Buy them ten minutes. After ten minutes, we’ll retreat too,” said a bald man standing beside Liu Caiyun, his tone grave.

They had already analyzed the situation—ten minutes was manageable, but if the battle dragged on for an hour, they too would likely be corrupted by that mysterious force.

Upon hearing this, Li Jiuri and the others all nodded, then charged together toward the massive army of parasitized Divine Spirits before them.At the same time, Wu Hao, moving at full speed, managed to return from the Xuanlei Domain to the Divine Realm space previously opened by the Divine Rank within just one hour.

Although the entrance to the Divine Rank had already closed and the place no longer looked like it had ever been a gateway to the Divine Realm, none of this escaped Wu Hao’s keen eyes. With just one glance, he saw through the space of the Divine Realm and into another space where the Divine Rank still existed.

Simultaneously, Wu Hao observed the situation inside the Divine Rank and his expression grew increasingly grave.

“This… is a power sharing the same root and origin as the Forbidden Power?”

Seeing what was unfolding inside the Divine Rank, Wu Hao felt surprised. This was the second time he had encountered a power closely linked to the Forbidden Power.

However, there was no time for deeper investigation now. His priority was to get his wife out first.

With that thought, Wu Hao wasted no time. He reached out and placed his hand before the space once opened by the Divine Rank, then suddenly exerted force to grab hold of something and pulled hard. In an instant, the Divine Realm space was torn apart by Wu Hao’s effort.

Indeed, the Divine Realm’s space was directly ripped open. It was known to be extremely stable—strong cultivators at the God Venerable Realm could not completely tear it apart.

But Wu Hao couldn’t afford to care about that. After tearing the space, the Divine Rank hidden behind the Divine Realm space finally revealed its true form.

Without hesitation, Wu Hao stepped forward and entered into the Divine Rank.At the same time, the powerful figures from the major factions surrounding the Divine Rank naturally noticed the unusual disturbance there, and their expressions instantly turned shocked. None of them had expected the Divine Rank to open again so quickly. After all, less than a year had passed.

However, they also hadn’t anticipated that the Divine Rank had been reopened because its space had been forcibly torn apart by someone.

“Strange. Could it be that my calculations were off? Oh well, since the Divine Rank has already reopened, let’s bring the disciples back first before retreating into seclusion to make a breakthrough to God King,” Elder Jiumu said.

He had been in seclusion when he sensed the Divine Rank had opened again, initially thinking his earlier investigation had been mistaken. But now, there was no time to dwell on that. It was better to bring the disciples back for the time being.

Meanwhile, the heads of the various factions, upon sensing this aura, also began heading toward the Divine Rank to retrieve their disciples.

What they had no idea about, however, was what was actually happening inside the Divine Rank at this very moment.
