A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 446

Chapter 446: Effortless Suppression

“Is it really this simple?”

Looking at the God Emperor’s corpse suppressed before him, Wu Hao fell into deep thought. He had originally expected at least a fierce struggle, or at the very least to finish the opponent within three moves.

But the one thing he never expected was that just by unleashing the Ancient Bell, he could suppress the enemy with a single strike.

On second thought, it made sense. With the System’s help, the Ancient Bell had already been successfully upgraded to the grade of a Heavenly Emperor Artifact. Suppressing a mere Initial Stage God Emperor’s corpse was almost too easy.

After subduing the opponent, Wu Hao slowly approached it.

He saw that the opponent’s previously enormous body had been compressed by the Ancient Bell down to the size of a normal human being. This caused Wu Hao to ponder once again—was the opponent’s true body enormous or closer to a normal human’s size?

However, Wu Hao didn’t dwell too much on this point. After all, even he possessed the Law of Heaven and Earth, allowing his body to grow to a size comparable to the Xuanlei Domain.

But for Wu Hao, that was completely unnecessary. Such an increase wouldn’t grant him any real power boost; at most, it would only make him look more imposing. Whether a single punch would instantly kill or not, it would remain so.

Soon after, Wu Hao stood before the God Emperor’s corpse. But the moment he looked at its face, his expression grew serious.

The opposing face looked rosy and did not seem like that of someone who had fallen, but the dense aura of death radiating from the body left no doubt to Wu Hao—the other had long been dead.

As Wu Hao drew closer, the God Emperor’s corpse suppressed by the Ancient Bell seemed to sense something. It suddenly thrashed wildly, struggling desperately, yet it could never break free from the Bell’s suppression.

Soon, after careful observation, Wu Hao finally discovered something extraordinary about the corpse.

“Is this… Forbidden Power? Was he corrupted and killed by Forbidden Power?”

Feeling the remaining Forbidden Power emanating from the corpse, Wu Hao’s expression grew grim. He had known that even in the Ancient Times, Forbidden Power was no small matter, but he hadn’t expected it to have brought down a God Emperor back then.

Moreover, according to Wu Hao’s perception, the peak strength of this God Emperor was not weak. Without the aid of the Ancient Bell, even he himself probably wouldn’t be able to finish the opponent within three moves.

“This is getting complicated. Should I just erase him outright?”

Wu Hao furrowed his brow. But seeing the corpse still thrashing wildly, he sighed and decided to first purge all the Forbidden Power within him.

The other was a God Emperor. If he helped remove the Forbidden Power from within, the remnants of his consciousness might be able to hold on for a while, enough to explain what had happened in the Ancient Times.

With this in mind, Wu Hao wasted no more hesitation. Controlling another Ancient Bell, he began purging the Forbidden Power inside the God Emperor’s corpse. In the next moment, countless strands of Forbidden Power flowed out from the body, absorbed and refined by the Ancient Bell.But this was not something that could be done in a short time. With this in mind, Wu Hao waved his hand and directly headed back through the earlier time and space along with the suppressed God Emperor’s corpse.

Earlier, because he hadn’t reacted quickly enough, Wu Hao had accidentally unleashed too much power when striking the God Emperor’s corpse, forcing both of them into the River of Time and Space.

Glancing at the surrounding time, he realized they had arrived at an even earlier moment. Shaking his head, Wu Hao then made his way toward the time and space where Su Qiaoran and the others were.

Breaking through to Great Luo Golden Immortal meant eternal life not just in the Great World but also in the Divine Realm. Thus, Su Qiaoran and the others were unique beings even within the Divine Realm.

Soon, Wu Hao found Su Qiaoran and the others within the River of Time and Space. With a slight exertion of his hands, he opened a passage through the River and stepped out.

At the same time, inside the Divine Temple, although some time had passed for Wu Hao, only an instant had gone by for Su Qiaoran and the others. After all, time outside the River of Time and Space was almost frozen.

Seeing Wu Hao return, everyone couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Feng Qingyang, noticing the suppressed God Emperor’s corpse behind Wu Hao, asked with some curiosity.

“Senior, who is this?”

“This,” Wu Hao replied, “is the very entity that just attacked us a moment ago.”

Wu Hao spoke calmly.

Upon hearing Wu Hao’s words, everyone present became unsettled. Li Yuping said with some surprise, “Master, is this the very God Emperor’s corpse from just now? Why has it become so small?”

Su Qiaoran and Feng Qingyang exchanged puzzled looks beside her.

Wu Hao maintained a calm expression and slowly said, “I don’t know either.”

“Uh, alright then.”

Su Qiaoran fell silent after hearing this. Clearly, she hadn’t expected to encounter something even Wu Hao didn’t understand on their first meeting, but she didn’t press further.

Soon after, Wu Hao continued, “Next, I will completely purge and refine the Forbidden Power within this God Emperor’s corpse. This will probably take some time, so let’s leave for now.”“Ah, what do you mean by leaving first?” Feng Qingyang asked with some confusion.

Wu Hao shrugged, casually sealing the God Emperor’s corpse into the Ancient Bell, then looked deeper into the Divine Temple. After some thought, he started walking toward its inner depths.

Seeing this, Feng Qingyang and the others quickly followed.

Before long, Wu Hao reached the deepest part of the Divine Temple, where a Divine Artifact floated there, shaped like a long halberd.

The moment they saw this artifact, all three except Wu Hao showed a flicker of shock in their eyes.

“Hiss, could this Divine Artifact be the reason we’ve been suppressed since entering the Divine Temple?” Feng Qingyang said with surprise.

Wu Hao nodded in response, casually taking the Divine Artifact and sealing it into his Inner World.

Only after the artifact was secured did Feng Qingyang and the others feel noticeably more at ease.Wu Hao continued to speak.

“In fact, it’s not just about the suppression of strength. This Divine Artifact also has the power to control space, which is why we couldn’t directly approach the God Emperor’s corpse after entering the Divine Temple.

Moreover, it’s precisely because of this Divine Artifact that the temple didn’t appear the first time you entered the ruins.”

“Ah?”

Feng Qingyang looked puzzled, and Wu Hao went on to explain.

“That’s because this Divine Artifact has a space-shielding function. If you had come here alone, it’s likely the Divine Temple wouldn’t have appeared.”

“Then why did it appear this time?”

When Feng Qingyang asked again, Wu Hao fell silent. Yes, why did it appear this time?

From Wu Hao’s observations, this Divine Artifact is powerful enough to prevent even Peak Divine Venerable-level experts from detecting the existence of the Divine Temple. Only the God Emperor can discover it, and even then, they must break through the Artifact’s restrictions to make the temple manifest.

But now, it appeared directly without Wu Hao doing anything.Wu Hao’s expression grew serious as he said, “I suspect the reason has to do with the God Emperor’s corpse itself. Its aura is far too terrifying, far stronger than any of the other relics in the ruins. Perhaps its presence has overwhelmed the Divine Artifact’s space-shielding effect, causing the temple to reveal itself this time.”
