A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 434

Chapter 434: Not Belonging to the Divine Realm?

“I already checked this place when I entered. Besides this fellow Daoist, there’s no one else here, and all our people are standing on our side. So, Senior must have appeared suddenly.”

“Also, your aura is extremely profound— even I can’t see through it,” Li Jiuri said seriously.

Hearing this, Wu Hao looked a bit puzzled. “Is there a possibility that the Divine Artifact I’m wearing can mask my aura?”

But Li Jiuri shook his head, his face grave as he replied, “There’s another very important reason: the temperament you carry is something even the Sect Master of our Qingyun Sect has never possessed. So, aside from you being Senior, I can’t think of any other explanation.”

Upon hearing Li Jiuri’s analysis, Liu Caiyun and the others nearby were stunned. The Sect Master of Qingyun Sect, Feng Qingyang, is a late-stage Heavenly God and one of the strongest.

Could the Wu Hao standing before them really be an existence even more powerful than Feng Qingyang?

Everyone turned their gaze to Wu Hao, their eyes full of expectation, since only Wu Hao had appeared as Senior. Otherwise, they probably would have been summoned to account within the Divine Rank space.

Facing everyone’s expectations, Wu Hao smiled and said, “Your analysis is quite accurate. Yes, I am indeed the Senior. Alright, you all can stay here.”

After saying this, Wu Hao vanished from in front of Li Jiuri and the others in the next moment.

Seeing this, Li Jiuri’s pupils constricted as if he sensed something, and he quickly rushed outside.

Liu Caiyun and the others also followed instinctively. Once they reached outside the cave, a scene immediately came into view: beyond their world, thousands of Divine Rank experts were already gathered, each shrouded in a red, ominous mist of corruption.

“Damn it, have all the Divine Rank experts been infected and parasitized?”

Cheng Yufang, one of the nine Heaven’s Chosen, wore a deeply grim expression and felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.

On their side, there were just over four hundred Divine Rank experts, but on the opposite side stood thousands. Despite a certain decline in strength caused by the parasitism, the sheer numbers made it a serious threat.

“Look, it’s the Senior!”

At that moment, Wang Lin, another of the nine Heaven’s Chosen, spotted something and said excitedly.

With Wang Lin’s words, all the Divine Rank experts present finally noticed Wu Hao standing beyond their world, resolutely positioned before the parasitized Divine Spirits.

Seeing this scene, their hearts involuntarily tightened. Beside them, Li Jiuri’s gaze shifted rapidly as he quickly made up his mind, and in the blink of an eye, he sped toward the world beyond.

“Jiuri!”

Before Liu Caiyun and the others could react, they found themselves already standing beside Wu Hao.

“Senior, these Divine Rank experts corrupted by that mysterious force must not engage in prolonged combat with them. If it lasts more than half an hour, they too will be parasitized by the mysterious power,” Li Jiuri warned Wu Hao. After all, Wu Hao was the hope for all of them; they couldn’t afford for him to fall here because of this.

Upon hearing this, Wu Hao smiled lightly and then said,

“I say, perhaps you’re underestimating my strength. Dealing with a group of Divine Rank experts corrupted by Forbidden Power alone doesn’t take such a long time—it only takes a single thought.”

As Wu Hao finished speaking, the next moment, all the parasitized Divine Rank experts within the Divine Rank space began to explode one after another. Soon, they were all dead, and the entire Divine Rank area was shrouded in a wave of crimson mist.

Seeing this, Wu Hao snorted coldly.

“Looking for death!”

Wu Hao waved his hand, and in the next moment, all the ominous scarlet mist within the Divine Rank space was drawn into his palm, refined into a small crimson bead.

With Wu Hao’s action, everyone present was so shocked that they stood frozen, not knowing what to say.

After a long moment, Liu Caiyun weakly spoke up, “Now I really believe it—Senior is probably stronger than Sect Master Feng.”

Hearing this, everyone present fell silent. Indeed, even Feng Qingyang couldn’t have killed so many Divine Rank experts in just a single thought, and judging by Wu Hao’s display, this wasn’t even his full power.

“All right, don’t speak about today’s events to anyone. If it gets out, I will personally pay a visit,” Wu Hao said, addressing all the Divine Rank experts present.

At Wu Hao’s words, a chill ran through everyone’s hearts, but they still nodded in agreement.

After finishing all this, Wu Hao turned and returned to the cave, where he saw Su Qiaoran still breaking through to the Late Stage of Divine Rank. Since he couldn’t interrupt her, he could only wait inside the Divine Rank space for a while.

As for the Heavenly Emperor Sect, Qin Shaolong was there holding down the fort, so Wu Hao had no worries about any unexpected changes.

After everything had settled down, Wu Hao finally had time to look closely at the scarlet bead in his palm, his expression growing serious.

“Power that doesn’t belong to the Divine Realm? Does this come from an existence beyond the Divine Realm?” Wu Hao silently wondered to himself. From his perception, this power was not one of the Three Thousand Daos, nor was it a power contained within the Divine Realm. Even he couldn’t eliminate it in a short period.

Although the bead was sealed by Wu Hao, the power inside was still causing erosion outside, at least according to his senses. The erosion now required much more time, but to completely corrupt a Divine Rank expert would still take at least five hundred years. Wu Hao, by contrast, could cleanse and remove this power in just three months.

But Wu Hao could tell this was not the full extent of its power. If the force were of a higher level, it might take three years, or even thirty, for him to purify it thoroughly.

“The situation is getting more complicated. With my current strength, I’m not even sure if I could defeat the Hidden Culprit,” Wu Hao said gravely. But there was no time to panic — the promotion to God Emperor was not something that could happen overnight. Above the God Emperor rank, only the Heavenly Emperor Realm remained.

Shaking his head, Wu Hao looked over at his wife who was breaking through to the Late Stage of the Divine Rank. No matter what, he had to become strong enough before the crisis arrived to protect everything he held dear.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Great World within the Divine Realm, if Wu Hao had been there, he would be able to see that this place was already being corrupted by a force similar to the Forbidden Power he had sealed.Meanwhile, within this Great World, a certain figure suddenly opened their eyes and looked in the direction where Wu Hao was. They murmured to themselves, their tone tinged with a hint of interest.

“Interesting. Someone is refining the Master’s power? If it weren’t for the fact that my True Self is temporarily sealed and unable to leave, I would definitely go see who exactly is capable of refining the Master’s power.”

“However, it won’t be long. In about three hundred years, my True Self will break free from the seal.”

Watching the world about to be refined, that existence slowly closed their eyes, and everything around returned to calm once again.
