A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 520

Chapter 520: Battle to the Death

“Not good!”

The moment Yan Ge made his move, Zhang Tianhao and the other two felt as if the Great Terror itself was targeting them. Every hair on their bodies stood on end, and almost instinctively, the three of them combined their efforts to defend. But despite that, they were still blasted backward by a single punch from the suddenly appearing Yan Ge.

And Yan Ge’s assault didn’t stop there; like a raging storm, his relentless attacks kept pouring down on Zhang Tianhao and the others without pause.

The three were completely overwhelmed, unable to retaliate at all. After all, Yan Ge was at the peak of the Saint Realm. Dealing with three guys who only had Tribulation Crossing-level strength was effortless for him.

“Let’s end this here. You no longer have any reason to exist.”

Yan Ge tested the waters, realizing Zhang Tianhao and the others were no threat, then shook his head, preparing to send the three on their way.

At this life-or-death moment, a figure suddenly shot out from deep within the Tianling Dynasty, shielding Zhang Tianhao and the others behind him, firmly blocking Yan Ge’s strike.

When the smoke cleared, Zhang Yu’s figure appeared before them.

“Father?”

Looking at the father who had appeared before him, Zhang Tianhao stared in shock, clearly unable to believe that the person in front of him was his own father. After all, in his impression, his father shouldn’t have been able to break through to Tribulation Peak in such a short time. Moreover, judging by his father’s aura, his strength seemed to far exceed even Tribulation Peak.

Zhang Yu then turned to look at the three of them, his tone serious as he said, “You’ve done well. Leave the rest to me.”

At the moment Zhang Yu appeared, the calm expressions on the faces of Yan Ge and the other two were replaced by grave seriousness. They all looked at Zhang Yu in shock and asked, “How is that possible? The Lower Realm has already become a place without spiritual energy. How could you have broken through to Tribulation Peak?”

What shocked Yan Ge and the others most was that although Zhang Yu’s aura was that of Tribulation Peak, the feeling he gave off was no less than that of their own Saint Peak.

Zhang Yu shook his head, his eyes flashing with killing intent as he said, “There’s no need to explain to you. Move up!”

After saying this, Zhang Yu summoned his long sword and charged first toward Cheng Ren and the other two.

Seeing Zhang Yu dare to attack them first, Cheng Ren and the others’ expressions darkened. Cheng Ren spoke up immediately, “Attack together!”

They weren’t about to stick to any sense of fair play; only those who survived would be deemed the victors. Their current goal was to eliminate Zhang Yu and his group completely.

In an instant, the three of them engaged Zhang Yu in a fierce battle. At first, Cheng Ren and the others believed Zhang Yu wasn’t all that strong and that they could quickly take him down. But the moment the fight started, they realized how foolish they had been—if it came down to one-on-one combat, they absolutely weren’t a match for Zhang Yu.

“This can’t happen. He absolutely mustn’t Ascend to the Upper Realm. With his talent, he’s no weaker than Zhang Tianren was back then!” Cheng Ren thought to himself.

At the same time, behind them, Zhang Tianhao and the other two watched stunned, with Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun being the most shocked of all.

They all clearly remembered that five years ago, Zhang Yu was only at the Golden Core Stage, yet in just those five years, he had broken through all the way to Tribulation Peak, even crossing the three major realms of Nascent Soul, Divine Transformation, and Void Refinement.

Judging from this, Zhang Yu’s talent was actually far beyond theirs.

But after thinking it over, Zhang Tianhao shook his head and said, “Actually, this is quite normal. The Nine Dragons Emperor Art revolves around national fortune. The stronger the dynasty and the more territory it controls, the faster one’s power can improve.”

“Right now, the entire Great Wilderness Realm belongs to the Tianling Dynasty. So it’s perfectly reasonable that someone could break through to the peak of Tribulation in just five years.”

Cai Wankun, standing nearby, seemed to agree. When he considered it, the logic made sense, so he nodded in approval.

Lin Qianyan, on the other hand, didn’t know who Zhang Yu really was. It was only after Cai Wankun explained that she finally recognized him.

Learning that Zhang Yu had reached Tribulation Peak in just five years left her deeply shocked as well.

After all, she relied on the Nether Dao Physique, which allowed her cultivation speed to increase a thousandfold, yet even with that advantage, she had only barely broken through to the Late Tribulation stage. This showed that Zhang Yu’s talent might very well surpass her own.

However, since she was Wu Hao’s disciple, Lin Qianyan had a naturally good disposition and soon accepted the fact without complaint.

“Senior Brother, what should we do now? We can’t just stand by and watch your father fight alone,” Lin Qianyan said.

Zhang Tianhao shook his head, his expression resolute. “Of course, we have to step in. With the three of us, we can hold off one of the Saint peak cultivators. Right now, although Father seems to be evenly matched with the three Saints at their peak, as long as we take on one of them, Father should be able to finish the fight quickly given his current condition.”

Zhang Tianhao wasn’t overthinking things. After all, the Three Great Saints intended to exterminate them completely—there was no point in entertaining any thoughts of negotiating with the Three Great Sects.

As Zhang Tianhao spoke, neither Cai Wankun nor Lin Qianyan objected; they both nodded in agreement.

In the next moment, the three of them simultaneously launched an attack against Nei She, one of the Three Great Saints at their peak.

Since they had already fought against Yan Ge before, they knew they were no match for him. As for Cheng Ren, he looked formidable, so Nei She seemed like the easiest target.

The Three Great Saints at their peak were surprised that Zhang Tianhao and the others dared to attack them. But more importantly, although Zhang Tianhao and the others were no match for them, they couldn’t simply ignore the attacks directed at them.After all, although they were weaker, it didn’t mean they posed no threat to them.

With this in mind, Cheng Ren spoke up.

“Leave them to me. You two just hold them off!”

Without waiting for Yan Ge and Nei She to react, Cheng Ren charged straight at Zhang Tianhao and his two companions.

With Cheng Ren moving away, only Yan Ge and Nei She were left to face Zhang Yu, and suddenly their pressure increased significantly. But there was nothing they could do; they understood exactly what Cheng Ren’s intentions were.

Seeing Zhang Tianhao and the others help share the burden, a satisfied look crossed Zhang Yu’s face. Then he turned to Yan Ge and Nei She, his expression becoming extremely serious.

He had to finish the battle quickly; otherwise, given Zhang Tianhao and his companions’ current state, they wouldn’t be able to hold out much longer.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Gate of Space, Jiang Tianwen was still calculating time. After about five minutes had passed, he estimated the moment was nearly right and hurried toward the gate.

But upon passing through to the other side and seeing the situation before him, Jiang Tianwen was completely stunned, his face filled with disbelief.
