A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 442

Chapter 442: The Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor’s Dread and Fear

At the same time, inside Wanxi Pavilion, within the array linked to Wanquing Divine Emperor, the view from Myriad Sword Divine Lord’s perspective had already shifted to Tianfeng Academy, allowing Wanquing Divine Emperor to see the situation there.

However, his expression grew grim. What he had anticipated had not happened, meaning that even if the Myriad Sword Divine Lord’s death wasn’t directly caused by Tianfeng Academy, it was still deeply entangled with it.

“Damn it, could it be that we really can’t do anything about Tianfeng Academy?” he thought furiously.

Then, before he could fully process the situation, the array seemed to sense a great terror. The image displayed by the Soul Lamp of the Myriad Sword Divine Lord suddenly froze.

After that, Divine Lord Tianyu appeared on the scene, his face full of horror.

“This is bad, this is…”

But before Divine Lord Tianyu could take any action, he suddenly exploded—yes, literally exploded—without even a shred of resistance.

Watching all of this, Wanquing Divine Emperor was stunned, clearly not expecting such an event. Before he could react, the blast from Divine Lord Tianyu’s explosion struck him, sending him flying.

If not for Wanquing Divine Emperor’s immense strength, he probably would have been crushed outright by the force of Divine Lord Tianyu’s detonation.

But the situation was far from over. Inside Wanxi Pavilion, the Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor, who had been in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes wide, his expression filled with terror as he exclaimed, “This is bad!”

The next moment, the Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor vanished abruptly and reappeared outside Wanxi Pavilion. With a single thought, he immediately activated the Sect Protection Array of Wanxi Pavilion.

Seeing this, Wanquing Divine Emperor was clearly taken aback. He had never expected that the powerful force who had slain the Myriad Sword Divine Lord would be so terrifying—so much so that even Wanxi Pavilion was no match.

Thinking this through, Wanquing Divine Emperor was close to cursing inwardly. What kind of formidable enemy had the Myriad Sword Divine Lord provoked that even Wanxi Pavilion had to mobilize its strongest defenses? At this point, Wanquing Divine Emperor could only hope that the Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor could hold off that senior; otherwise, he feared the Divine Emperor might also meet his end here.

As the Sect Protection Array of Wanxi Pavilion flared to life, all the pavilion’s strongest cultivators appeared before the Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor. But before any of them could speak or ask questions, a massive finger suddenly whipped toward them from afar.

Though it looked extremely distant, in the blink of an eye, it was right before them, as if it had traversed endless time itself, descending directly onto the Sect Protection Array.

In an instant, the array shook violently. Seeing this, the Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor urgently shouted, “Everyone, stabilize the array with me!”

He poured his own power into the Sect Protection Array, barely keeping it intact. The other strong cultivators of Wanxi Pavilion rushed to assist, though their strength was alarmingly weaker in comparison to the Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor.

The Sect Protection Array seemed to steady under their combined efforts as the power of the giant finger gradually waned. But only the Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor knew that the situation was far more complicated than it appeared.

The next second, the power of the giant finger surged again. Soon after, the tremors in the Sect Protection Array intensified violently, unable to withstand the overwhelming force any longer, and it shattered suddenly.

Seeing this, the Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor turned to glance at the strongest cultivators behind him in Wanxi Pavilion. Gritting his teeth, he withdrew several Eighth-Grade Divine Artifacts from his Inner World and struck toward the giant finger, trying to block the attack.

Fortunately, the situation did improve. After the Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor unleashed about five Eighth-Grade Divine Artifacts, he finally wore down the force of the giant finger completely. Only then did he exhale a relieved breath.

But the relief was quickly replaced by a sharp pain.

“Damn it! Who exactly is it? Why are they targeting Wanxi Pavilion?” he roared in anger. This assault had caused heavy losses to Wanxi Pavilion; the Grade Nine Divine Array was completely destroyed, and even he had lost five Eighth-Grade Divine Artifacts. Each of these artifacts was worth about 500 million units of Supreme Divine Source, so losing five meant a total loss of roughly 2.5 billion units.

Even as a Divine Emperor, he felt immense heartache over this, not to mention the Grade Nine Divine Array—one that likely required hundreds of billions of Supreme Divine Source to set up.

With this in mind, the Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor furiously channeled the power of the Karma Dao, determined to find out why that senior had attacked Wanxi Pavilion. Although he dared not provoke that senior—the one who could casually obliterate a Grade Nine Divine Array and shatter five Eighth-Grade Divine Artifacts with a single finger strike—he was confident he could uncover the reason behind the attack.

Meanwhile, still inside Wanxi Pavilion, the Wanquing Divine Emperor witnessed the Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor successfully blocking the sudden strike and finally breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that he might be able to survive after all.However, for some reason, the Wanquing Divine Emperor felt an overwhelming sense of unease. Shaking his head, he decided to leave Wanxi Pavilion and go consult with the Lanxiang Divine Emperor and the Chang Kong Divine Emperor on how best to handle this situation.

After all, it now seemed that the Myriad Sword Divine Lord had died within Tianfeng Academy. If that was the case, they would need to revise their plans regarding Tianfeng Academy in some way.

Just as the Wanquing Divine Emperor was about to leave, the Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor above Wanxi Pavilion, having already wielded the power of the Karma Dao, finally traced the thread of causality back to Wanxi Pavilion.

Following that thread quickly led the Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor to the Wanquing Divine Emperor still inside Wanxi Pavilion. Seeing from the causality thread that the reason the senior had attacked Wanxi Pavilion lay with this person, the Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor growled in fury, “Damn it! A mere Divine Emperor has stirred up such a powerful enemy against Wanxi Pavilion. They’re practically courting death!”

Enraged, after confirming through the Karma Dao that there was no threat worthy of his caution on the Wanquing Divine Emperor himself, the Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor suddenly struck.

At the same moment, the Wanquing Divine Emperor found the sheer force of the God Emperor’s attack impossible to react to. By the time he registered the strike, all he could do was reveal a face of shock before being crushed to death by the Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor.

By probing the recent memories of the Wanquing Divine Emperor, the Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor understood the origin of these events, his expression turning extremely grim. Clearly, he had not anticipated that the reason the senior had targeted Wanxi Pavilion was because Wanxi Pavilion had been spying on that senior.

“Damn Wanquing Academy! Send orders—destroy Chang Kong Academy, Lanxiang Academy, and Wanquing Academy!”

Though the Wanquing Divine Emperor was dead, the Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor did not stop there. In his eyes, both the Chang Kong Divine Emperor and the Lanxiang Divine Emperor were equally responsible for provoking that senior, making them all guilty and deserving of total destruction from the perspective of Wanxi Pavilion.After all, even combined, the Three Great Academies couldn’t match the loss of a single Grade Nine Divine Array at Wanxi Pavilion. Moreover, the Dao-Seeking Divine Emperor intended to annihilate the Three Great Academies in order to salvage some of his losses from their accumulated foundation.
