Chapter 689 The other party is indeed quite skilled.
Thinking this, Lin Hanzhou slowly raised his right hand, his slender, fair fingertips lightly touching the air.
Om-!
Accompanied by a strange Daoist sound that shook the heavens and the earth, a terrifying imperial might that surpassed all the myriad paths of the heavens spread wildly in all directions from Lin Hanzhou as the center.
The once lifeless void seemed to come alive at this moment, and endless laws of the Great Dao transformed into dazzling chains of divine order, cheering and leaping around Lin Hanzhou, as if paying homage to their sole sovereign.
"Tracing the source!"
Lin Hanzhou uttered a cold and authoritative syllable.
In an instant, the black ash that was about to completely dissipate was forcibly frozen in mid-air by an unparalleled force.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Hanzhou's vast and boundless divine sense, like a surging ocean, pierced deep into the very depths of that speck of ashes.
He was searching for cause and effect.
Everything in the world is caught in the web of cause and effect.
Since this avatar was personally crafted by the Supreme Being and separated from His divine soul and blood essence, there must be a causal link between the two that cannot be easily severed.
As long as this clue is found, and the trail is followed, even if the other party is hiding at the ends of the universe, Lin Hanzhou will be able to find them.
In his divine vision, the surrounding cosmic starry sky had disappeared, replaced by a bizarre and colorful world of lines.
This is the deep dimension of the laws, where countless lines representing fate, time, and space intertwine, to a degree so intricate it's mind-boggling.
With a slight thought, Lin Hanzhou used his Emperor-level divine sense to forcefully push aside the irrelevant causal lines around him and stare intently at that bit of ashes.
Soon, a thread of cause and effect, filled with an aura of decay and death, slowly emerged from the ashes.
This thread, barely visible and incredibly fragile, pierced straight through the endless void at its other end, extending directly into the unknown reaches of the universe.
"I've found you."
Lin Hanzhou's lips curled into a cold smile.
Without any hesitation, his divine sense instantly attached itself to the dark red thread of cause and effect. Following the guidance of the thread, it traversed endless spatial distances and frantically traced back to the source at a speed beyond human imagination.
One star field... ten star fields... a hundred star fields...
Lin Hanzhou's deduction speed was unbelievably fast.
Along the way, he sensed countless desolate dead stars, the chaotic storms raging in the starry sky, and even some ancient ferocious beasts hiding in the shadows. But none of these could stop him in the slightest.
However, just as his divine sense was about to touch a mysterious area shrouded in thick fog, following the threads of cause and effect, a sudden change occurred!
Boom!
Lin Hanzhou felt as if his consciousness had crashed heavily into a wall.
The secrets of that region were forcibly distorted by an indescribable, immense force!
It was not just spatial isolation, but also a concealment of fate.
Above that area, it seemed as if an invisible, colossal hand was stirring up all the secrets of heaven and destiny into a chaotic mess.
Lin Hanzhou snorted coldly, and the Emperor Dao Laws around his body surged, attempting to forcefully tear apart the barrier that shielded the secrets of heaven by relying on his terrifying cultivation that was invincible throughout the nine heavens and ten earths.
Crimson-gold flames burned fiercely at the front of his consciousness, transforming into an indestructible imperial divine sword, which slashed fiercely at the chaotic barrier.
"Click..."
A tiny crack appeared on the barrier.
But at the same moment, due to the immense power exerted by Lin Hanzhou, the dark red causal thread that served as the bridge could not withstand the collision of laws at this level and snapped in two with a "crack," turning into nothingness.
Once the causal link was severed, the coordinates of that mysterious area vanished without a trace in Lin Hanzhou's divine sense, as if it had never existed at all.
Everything around returned to calm, leaving only endless cold and darkness.
Lin Hanzhou slowly opened his eyes, a look of surprise flashing in them.
He looked at his empty hands, his brows furrowing slightly before relaxing.
"They can't deduce it? Has the secret of heaven been completely blocked?"
Lin Hanzhou stood silently in the void, muttering to himself.
His tone didn't convey much discouragement, but rather a hint of scrutiny and contemplation.
"Well, to put it simply, they're definitely got some skills."
He wasn't particularly angry about the failed deduction.
As a supreme emperor who has reached the pinnacle of power, Lin Hanzhou has an absolutely clear understanding of his own strength.
Along his journey, he suppressed countless enemies, relying on the domineering and unparalleled laws of thunder and fire, an invincible fighting power that could overcome any skill with sheer force.
He followed a domineering path characterized by sweeping, ruthless, and destructive actions.
He was indeed not good at the subtle and mysterious fields of divination and fortune-telling.
If he were to deduce the cultivation levels of those cultivators far below him, such as saints, great saints, or even quasi-emperors, he could completely rely on his terrifying cultivation level, which was countless realms higher than theirs, to unilaterally crush them with his strength and forcefully see through their cause and effect. Any means of shielding would be as fragile as paper in the face of absolute power.
However, what he is now trying to deduce is an existence of the same level.
Although the opponent severed his own life and fell from the perfect Emperor Realm, he was once an unparalleled figure who had fused with the Heavenly Heart Mark and reigned over an era.
In terms of understanding the laws of the Great Dao and controlling the secrets of Heaven, his opponent was not much inferior to him.
Moreover, this old monster has lived for countless millennia, and his greatest skill is hiding and preserving his life.
Lin Hanzhou quickly made a decision in his mind.
"That barrier that blocked my divine sense was not something that could be accomplished overnight, nor could it be set up by one person alone."
"That ancient, weathered atmosphere, filled with an aura of eternal stillness..."
Lin Hanzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly came to a conclusion.
The true form of this black-robed supreme being must be hidden in some ancient "forbidden zone of life" within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Each forbidden zone was created by several ancient emperors and great rulers who, in their later years, were unwilling to pass away peacefully and sought that elusive opportunity for immortality.
To prevent their enemies from seeking revenge and to cover up their sinful act of consuming the essence of all living beings, the ancient supreme beings set up a series of concealment arrays around the forbidden zone of life.
These formations have been reinforced over countless eras, and their ability to shield the secrets of heaven has reached an unbelievable level.
Besides the protective array of the restricted area itself, the black-robed supreme being must have also used some kind of secret concealment technique.
With double insurance, it would indeed be extremely difficult for Lin Hanzhou to find his opponent across the endless starry sky using only the causal deduction method, which he was not good at.
