A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 500

Chapter 500: The Truth Behind the Downfall, Closing of the Legacy Palace

“The Haotian Sect was destroyed because it was attacked by a certain God Venerable,” Chaos said slowly. Wu Yidao, however, asked in confusion, “But didn’t it still fall at the hands of a being from the Divine Realm?”

“No. The power wielded by that God Venerable doesn’t belong to any of the Three Thousand Daos of the Divine Realm!” Chaos said with a grave expression.

“A power from outside the Divine Realm?” Wu Yidao instantly guessed, his expression growing serious as well.

Chaos nodded, then continued, “In any case, it’s a force beyond what you can access right now. You should focus on steadily improving your cultivation instead.”“Hmm, I understand.”

Wu Yidao nodded.

“Alright, I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll go back to sleep now.”

Chaos yawned and then slipped back into Wu Yidao’s body, falling asleep once more.

After learning everything, Wu Yidao suddenly felt the weight of his responsibilities grow heavier. After all, having received the benevolence of the Haotian Divine Venerable, it meant he had inherited the causality tied to the Haotian Sect.

Now that he knew the true culprit behind the Haotian Sect’s destruction, it also meant that if he ever encountered that foe, he would have to avenge the sect’s downfall.

Thinking about how even the mighty Haotian Divine Venerable had died at their hands, Wu Yidao felt immense pressure settle upon him.

“Sigh, I’ll just take it one step at a time,” he sighed quietly to himself.

Before he could react further, he suddenly sensed something and turned to look around with a solemn expression.The palace around them was gradually fading away, clearly on the verge of disappearing.

“Is it because I have inherited the Haotian Sect’s legacy that the Legacy Palace must vanish?” Wu Yidao wondered quietly to himself.

Soon after, the Legacy Palace completely disappeared, and Wu Yidao and Shen Youwei reappeared within the Haotian Divine Realm.

Looking at the Haotian Divine Realm before him, Wu Yidao felt as if he had been transported to another world. So much had happened in just two short years that even he hadn’t fully processed it yet.

After leaving the Legacy Palace, Wu Yidao gazed at Shen Youwei, who was still deep in slumber. After a moment’s thought, he didn’t leave but instead stayed nearby to guard her.

Almost at the same time, on the thirty-sixth layer of the Great World within the Haotian Divine Realm, Wang Di detected Shen Youwei’s presence. A cold sneer crossed his face.

“Finally decided to show yourself! Die!”

With that, Wang Di abruptly sped toward the Great World where Shen Youwei’s aura was emanating, no longer hiding his own power, which had already reached Late Earth God stage.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Wu Yidao was guarding Shen Youwei and had even set up several restrictions around her to prevent anyone from disturbing her.

But just then, Wu Yidao sensed something, furrowing his brows lightly. In the next moment, he immediately positioned himself in front of Shen Youwei.

Almost simultaneously, a figure appeared not far away. Upon seeing Shen Youwei, he roared with fury, “Shen Youwei, die!”

It was Wang Di arriving on the scene. The moment these words fell, Wang Di surged violently toward Shen Youwei to attack.

As for Wu Yidao, who stood blocking Shen Youwei, Wang Di didn’t even consider him a threat. Wu Yidao was merely a Late Earth God, while Wang Di was at the peak of True God—surely he wasn’t a match for him?

However, seeing Wang Di and feeling the aura emanating from him, Wu Yidao’s expression darkened considerably.

He hadn’t expected that within the Haotian Divine Realm there would be a Late Earth God-level powerhouse, let alone that this person would actually make a move against Shen Youwei.

Although Wu Yidao could have just fled, Shen Youwei was his friend. His principles wouldn’t allow him to watch a friend die before his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Di charged right up to Wu Yidao and slammed a palm down hard, aiming to crush him outright.

But in the next second, he sensed something and his face turned extremely shocked. Hastily, he deflected, barely surviving Wu Yidao’s sword strike.

Immediately afterward, Wang Di quickly distanced himself from Wu Yidao, his gaze heavy with seriousness. He hadn’t expected to nearly be overwhelmed in such a sneaky way.

Wu Yidao held a divine sword in his hand, a sixth-grade Divine Artifact he had obtained from the Haotian Sect’s treasury.

After receiving the Haotian Sect’s legacy, the Haotian Divine Venerable naturally entrusted Wu Yidao with the sect’s treasury. After all, only by letting Wu Yidao grow as quickly as possible could the coming catastrophe that threatened to annihilate the entire Divine Realm be stopped.

“You’ve got some skill, kid. I’ll send you on your way right now,” Wang Di roared. A crimson energy surged from his body, looking terrifyingly sinister.

Wu Yidao’s expression grew even more serious as he sensed the power radiating from Wang Di. Although he didn’t know exactly what kind of power it was, he could feel it was unbelievably terrifying, far surpassing any force he had ever encountered.

At that moment, Chaos’s voice echoed inside Wu Yidao’s mind.

“This power is the very same force that destroyed the Haotian Sect back then. Although it wasn’t this person who caused the destruction, the power is no different.”

After hearing Chaos’s words, Wu Yidao’s gaze toward Wang Di darkened further. After a long moment, he finally spoke.

“I understand.”

Without waiting for Wu Yidao to make the first move, Wang Di struck immediately. In an instant, he appeared right in front of Wu Yidao.

At this moment, empowered by the Forbidden Power, although Wang Di was only at the Late Earth God stage, he vaguely possessed strength comparable to an Initial Stage Heavenly God.

This made Wu Yidao feel overwhelmingly pressured, but he still struggled to hold his ground with great difficulty.

Wang Di grew even more furious. How could it be that after all he had worked hard for, some unknown True God Peak like Wu Yidao possessed strength on par with him?

“Die, die, I’m going to kill you!”

Wang Di’s attacks became increasingly fierce. Although Wu Yidao’s foundation was incredibly solid, under such intense pressure, he simply couldn’t withstand the onslaught. Just as defeat seemed inevitable, Wu Yidao’s aura suddenly surged dramatically.

From Earth God Initial, Intermediate, Late Stage, to Peak—it quickly advanced to Heavenly God Initial, Intermediate, Late Stage, and Peak.

It only finally slowed upon reaching Heavenly God Peak.

Witnessing this, Wang Di’s face fell into stunned disbelief, and he couldn’t help but shout out in shock.

“What! How is this possible!”
