Chapter 659 Imperial Might Overwhelms the Universe
Chapter 659 Imperial Might Overwhelms the Universe
This tribulation, which was meant for the Great Emperor of the Dao, was so massive that it was outrageous.
The starry sky, spanning billions of miles, dimmed completely in that instant.
Within the pitch-black tribulation clouds, there was not ordinary thunder and lightning, but the Nine Heavens Annihilation Divine Thunder, churning with chaotic energy.
Each bolt of lightning is accompanied by the illusion of the birth and death of a small world.
On the first day, the lightning tribulation transformed into an endless, vast ocean.
It was a sea of thunder composed purely of the laws of destruction, and Lin Hanzhou's figure was completely submerged within it.
The next day, because a large amount of lightning tribulation was refined and devoured by Lin Hanzhou, the legendary "Ten Thousand Paths of Military Tribulation" actually descended from the depths of the tribulation clouds.
Bells, cauldrons, towers, swords, seals... all sorts of phantom images of ultimate weapons woven from the laws of the Great Dao, carrying terrifying power capable of tearing apart the primordial universe, crashed down like a tidal wave.
Lin Hanzhou finally drew his Thunderfire Sword, the dark purple lightning intertwined with the crimson-gold Heaven-Burning Sacred Flame, transforming into countless sword lights that clashed most fiercely with the countless law-based weapons in the sky.
The starry sky was fragmented and chaotic air currents raged everywhere.
On the third day, the tribulation underwent a most bizarre and deadly change.
The thunderclouds suddenly stopped, and then, from the bottomless black vortex, nine blurry humanoid lightning bolts slowly emerged.
These nine figures had no faces, but the aura they exuded caused countless quasi-emperors and ancient beings watching from afar throughout the universe to tremble in their souls.
Because it is the imprint of the Heavenly Dao, the supreme existence that has proven the Dao in different eras in the past!
Although its strength is nowhere near that of a true emperor, the sheer oppressive aura it exudes surpasses that of most peak quasi-emperors.
This was an epic duel that transcended time and space, with Lin Hanzhou fighting nine against one, causing the entire universe to wail violently.
With a roar that shattered the boundless starry sky, Lin Hanzhou's Thunderfire Sword transformed into an eternal ray of light that pierced through the universe, forcefully cleaving the last humanoid lightning bolt into nothingness.
Then, the sword light, with its remaining momentum, shot straight into the sky, cleaving the thick, inky tribulation clouds in two!
The calamity clouds dispersed, and the thunder subsided.
The cataclysmic calamity that lasted for three days and three nights finally came to a complete end at this moment.
Om-!
The instant the tribulation clouds dissipated, an unparalleled imperial might, centered on Lin Hanzhou, swept wildly in all directions like a cosmic explosion.
This aura transcended spatial distances and ignored the barriers of star systems, spreading to every corner of the entire universe in just a few breaths.
At the same time, a massive number of unusual celestial phenomena erupted in the universe.
In the endless void, vast expanses of golden lotuses appeared out of nowhere, each exuding a refreshing fragrance.
Above the heavens, a shower of light descended, a gift from heaven and earth to all living beings.
Faintly, the grand chants of ancient ancestors' sacrifices and the ethereal sounds of celestial music echoed in the ears of all living beings.
Furthermore, the phantom images of the four divine beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—hovered in the four directions of the universe, bowing in submission towards the direction of Lin Hanzhou.
At this moment, all living beings in the universe, whether ordinary mortals or high-ranking cultivators, felt a sense of awe from the depths of their souls. They couldn't help but kneel down and worship in the direction from which the extreme pressure came.
They knew that the Great Emperor of this generation had been born!
The reactions of high-level cultivators across the universe varied greatly, revealing the full spectrum of human nature.
Some people were utterly shocked.
Those powerful figures from various factions who were originally watching from outside the Imperial Pass Great Wall, especially the cultivators from Mahayana Buddhism and Qin Sheng Valley, were all moved to tears after feeling this real and undeniable supreme imperial might.
Because their human race has once again produced an invincible emperor.
With such a supreme being suppressing the world, the human race will surely usher in an unprecedented golden age in the next tens of thousands of years, and all races will bow down and submit.
Some people felt immense joy. Those cultivators from remote star regions who had suffered oppression from foreign races erupted in earth-shattering cheers upon learning that the newly enthroned emperor was the human race's "Flame Emperor."
The birth of the Great Emperor signifies a reshuffling of the cosmic order, and those once arrogant and domineering alien races will surely restrain their claws.
However, for the equally brilliant geniuses of this era, this supreme imperial might brought them only endless regret and bitterness.
The path of the Great Dao is solitary; only one Great Emperor can be made in a lifetime!
From the moment Lin Hanzhou successfully attained enlightenment, the Heavenly Heart Imprint of this universe was completely integrated with him, and the laws of the Great Dao were replaced by his will.
This means that in this era, no matter how hard other geniuses try or how amazing they are, they will never be able to take that final step again.
Their path to becoming emperor was abruptly cut off the moment Lin Hanzhou attained enlightenment.
Countless peerless geniuses who were in seclusion coughed up blood and sighed to the heavens upon sensing this aura.
"Since Heaven gave birth to Zhou Yu, why did it also give birth to Zhuge Liang... I have cultivated diligently for three thousand years, believing myself to be no weaker than the young emperors of ancient times, so why... why did I ultimately receive news of someone else's enlightenment?"
A peerless divine son of a foreign race knelt atop his own sacred mountain, blood streaming from his eyes, his expression filled with despair and resentment.
This is the cruelty of the Imperial Road.
The glory of Lin Hanzhou is built upon the regrets and laments of countless geniuses.
……
The Azure Feather Starfield is a starfield that is somewhat remote from the center of the universe.
At this moment, on a certain planet in this star field, a woman wearing a wide black robe was leading two tall blue-scaled horses slowly forward.
The roadside was filled with the bleak autumn wind and withered yellow leaves, making it appear particularly desolate.
Suddenly, the originally azure sky turned pure gold in an instant, and a rain of light ignored the planet's array barrier, falling down in a flurry.
That terrifying imperial might could be clearly heard even on planets far beyond the Nine Heavens Continent.
The woman in black robes stopped in her tracks, raised her head, and gazed up at the strange and wondrous sky.
A gentle breeze blew by, lifting the black hood from her head and revealing a face that was both exquisitely beautiful and bearing the marks of time.
Those eyes, however, were as deep as autumn water.
She gazed silently at the ethereal figure in black against the starry sky, her hands gripping the reins trembling slightly involuntarily.
Looking at that familiar, peerless figure, a smile slowly appeared on the black-robed woman's face, a smile that was a mixture of relief, loneliness, and bitterness.
"Young Master...is that you? You have actually attained enlightenment and become the supreme emperor of this universe."
She murmured to herself, her voice so soft as if afraid of disturbing the man far away, but the heartache in her tone was impossible to hide.
