A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 456

Chapter 456: Crushing the Fifty Thousand Strong Army

“Everyone, follow me as we charge into the Imperial Capital of the Tianling Dynasty. When we arrive, all the beauties inside the capital will be yours to choose from!” Li Fengyun looked back at his troops and laughed heartily. The fifty thousand soldiers behind him responded with a lecherous chorus of laughter.

“General Li, what about that man?” someone asked.

“Of course he’s no problem. Whatever you want, you can have it!” Li Fengyun answered confidently.

“Oh? What if I want your life instead?”

“You want our lives? Then come and take them yourself.”

Before Li Fengyun could fully process the words, he instinctively responded, only to quickly glance toward the person who had spoken. At that moment, a figure appeared out of nowhere in front of their army. The clothing this figure wore was not that of any soldier from the Wanfeng Dynasty.

Seeing this, Li Fengyun furrowed his brows and said,“Are you from the Tianling Dynasty?”

“No, I’m not. I’m just a righteous person passing through. Your actions go against the Righteous Path, so I’m here to advise you to leave.”

The one speaking was none other than Cai Wankun, who had just arrived. He addressed the fifty thousand-strong Wanfeng Dynasty army with this warning.

He was willing to give the Wanfeng Dynasty a chance, but if they still refused to listen, then he would have no choice but to suppress them with force.

The situation didn’t disappoint Cai Wankun. Li Fengyun furrowed his brows, his tone dripping with disdain as he said,

“Who’s this wet behind the ears kid? Turns out he’s just a fool. Kill him!”

With that, Li Fengyun led his fifty thousand troops charging toward the Tianling Dynasty, planning to crush Cai Wankun’s warning underfoot along the way.

Upon hearing this, Cai Wankun sighed and said,

“It looks like you’ve chosen a road to death. In that case, I’ll make sure your passing won’t be so painful.”

“Merciful Palm of Deliverance.”As Cai Wankun finished speaking, in the next moment, he stretched out his palm. Instantly, a massive shadow appeared behind him, and upon closer look, it was a gigantic palm print large enough to cover the entire fifty-thousand-strong army.

“What! This is bad!”

Seeing Cai Wankun make his move, Li Fengyun’s face instantly changed. Without hesitation, he leapt in front of his fifty-thousand troops and swung his blade with one arm.

In a flash, Cai Wankun’s palm slammed down right before Li Fengyun. Li Fengyun poured all his strength into cutting through the palm strike, determined to block it.

“I’m at the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment. There’s no way I’ll die here!” Li Fengyun roared. In the next instant, he collided with that giant shadow. His long blade shattered, and he was blasted into a mist of blood.

But the power of the Merciful Palm of Deliverance didn’t end there. After killing Li Fengyun, its residual energy still swept forward, cutting down the fifty-thousand troops before they even had time to react.

Watching this scene unfold, Cai Wankun couldn’t help but sigh and say,

“Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful—why must you make things so difficult for me?”

Actually, he didn’t want to act this way, but the Haoran Righteousness inside him was simply too overwhelming. After crushing the fifty-thousand-strong army, Cai Wankun looked at the Haoran Righteousness within him, which had thickened to twice its previous strength, and a satisfied expression spread across his face.

Then he turned around, humming a tune as he headed toward the Imperial Capital of the Tianling Dynasty.

The civil and military officials who rushed over arrived just in time to witness this scene and were left dumbfounded. It was clear none of them had expected Cai Wankun’s power to be so formidable.

“Hss, is this the strength of an Immortal? And this guy is the Junior Brother of His Highness? I can only imagine just how powerful His Highness must be,” Qin Feng muttered to himself. It was like a door to a new world had opened in his mind. There were a few martial warriors within the Tianling Dynasty, but even the strongest among them were only capable of holding their own against hundreds. As for Cai Wankun’s one palm strike wiping out fifty thousand troops—that was simply beyond impossible.

“Anyway, we should return first. The crisis from the Wanfeng Dynasty isn’t over yet. After all, for the Wanfeng Dynasty to become this strong, there might be an even greater force backing them,” Lu Qing said seriously, which caused Qin Feng’s expression to grow grave. He nodded and headed toward the Imperial Capital.

Meanwhile, back inside the Imperial Palace, after taking an elixir and resting a while, Zhang Yu finally woke up slowly. Seeing Zhang Tianhao still by his side, he breathed a sigh of relief, having just feared it was all nothing more than a dream.“Senior Brother, everything has been taken care of.”

The next moment, Cai Wankun walked in from outside the Imperial Palace, smiling as he looked at Zhang Tianhao.

“Everything taken care of? Has the Wanfeng Dynasty’s army been repelled?”

Lying on the bed, Zhang Yu couldn’t immediately process what he heard. When it finally sank in, his expression lit up with joy and he quickly asked.

But Cai Wankun shook his head. Seeing this, a wave of despair cleared from Zhang Yu’s heart, only for him to realize something was off. If the Wanfeng Dynasty’s army hadn’t been driven back, then why would Cai Wankun say everything was settled?

In that instant, an utterly absurd thought crossed Zhang Yu’s mind. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at Cai Wankun. Then, the next second, Cai Wankun said seriously,

“They weren’t just repelled — they were all killed.”

Hearing this, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but gasp sharply. Had he been unconscious for such a long time? How had an entire force of fifty thousand been slaughtered?

Before he could dwell on it further, the Grand Chamberlain came rushing in from outside and, overcome with emotion, immediately knelt before Zhang Yu.“Your Majesty, great news, great news! The entire fifty-thousand-strong army of the Wanfeng Dynasty has been completely wiped out, all crushed by this Immortal!”

As the Grand Chamberlain spoke, he glanced with deep reverence at Cai Wankun standing nearby. He had just been present at the Imperial Court and naturally knew that Cai Wankun was the one who had acted. At the same time, he felt a profound admiration for Cai Wankun’s power—after practicing martial arts most of his life, he could only fight off hundreds, yet Cai Wankun had crushed an entire fifty-thousand-strong army with just one palm.

And it seemed this wasn’t even the limit of Cai Wankun’s strength.

“Hahaha, this is wonderful news, wonderful news! Many thanks to this Immortal!”

Zhang Yu was so excited that he immediately got out of bed and walked over to Cai Wankun to thank him, but Cai Wankun stopped him.

Cai Wankun looked at Zhang Yu with a serious expression and said,

“You are Senior Brother’s father. Just call me Wankun. There’s no need to call me an Immortal. Besides, we aren’t true Immortals yet.”

Cai Wankun shook his head, knowing well that only upon breaking through to the Mortal Immortal Realm and ascending to the Upper Realm could one be truly called an Immortal. Seeing Cai Wankun insist, Zhang Yu had no choice but to address him accordingly.

“By the way, Tian Hao, since your trip down the mountain, I wonder how much time your Master is giving you?”Zhang Tianhao smiled slightly and replied, “Master said that as long as I make steady progress, there’s no strict time limit. But he reminded me not to rush and to absorb the Dao thoroughly.”

Zhang Yu nodded thoughtfully. “That’s wise. The path of cultivation isn’t about speed but depth. Still, it’s encouraging news to hear you’re advancing steadily.”

Cai Wankun added confidently, “With Senior Brother’s foundation and the Immortal techniques from the Master, there’s no doubt he’ll breakthrough soon.”

Hearing this, Zhang Yu looked at both of them with pride and said, “With you two together, our Tianling Dynasty’s future is bright. I’m relieved.”

The atmosphere in the room grew hopeful, yet the memory of the vast Wanfeng army’s defeat lingered in everyone’s minds—a sign that destiny was shifting in their favor.
