Chapter 653 This life belongs to the era of that Flame Emperor.
Although they also had ways to quickly defeat the black-armored guards in front of them in a short time.
After all, this group of people were all top geniuses who had been hidden away for countless years by various ancient families and immortal holy lands.
As a top-tier prodigy, he shouldn't be so weak that he can't even defeat the guards.
The reason they were able to fight the guards to a standstill and remain locked in a long stalemate was entirely because they each had their own agendas and were saving all their most desperate measures for later.
They would use these methods again in the final battle for the teleportation platform, or when facing the peerless geniuses emerging from other passages.
For this reason, they must defeat the guards without taking any damage and preserve their best fighting force to enter the next level.
This was originally the safest and smartest strategy to pass the level.
But now, all these meticulous calculations have become a huge joke in the face of absolute power.
A top-tier prodigy arrived who could instantly kill a quasi-emperor peak black-armored guard with a single sword strike.
The opponent had not even fully recovered the laws they controlled, yet they displayed such terrifying and overwhelming combat power.
To live alongside such a monster for a lifetime in order to compete for the Heavenly Heart Mark, what's the difference between that and offering your neck up for the other to cut?
They are not afraid of death, they are not looking for it.
"Let's go... This era belongs to that Yan Emperor. We... are ultimately just supporting characters."
The young man with the Escape One Saint Body gave a bitter laugh, his figure turning into a blur and disappearing from the spot.
"Heh, Emperor Yan... What an imposing title. I'm impressed."
The purple-haired youth with the Nine Nether Demon Body took a deep breath and absorbed the overwhelming demonic energy into his body.
He took one last deep look at the tightly closed bronze gate, then snorted coldly, transformed into a streak of black demonic light, and withdrew from the trial space.
In the short time it took for Lin Hanzhou to leave, all thirty-three quasi-Emperor level experts who had gathered in this passage made the same decision at this moment—to withdraw from the Imperial Pass and give up the fight!
They not only withdrew from this passage, but they also never even entertained the slightest thought of trying their luck in the other four passages.
Because they knew better than anyone else that although the five passages of the Imperial Pass Great Wall did not interfere with each other in the early stages, they would all eventually converge in the final Heavenly Heart Hall.
No matter which path you take to fight your way up, you will eventually encounter the "Flame Emperor," who can kill everything with a single sword strike.
Since the outcome is already predetermined, why bother going to your death?
……
Outside, in the vast universe.
At this moment, only the time it takes to brew a cup of tea has passed since the gates of the Imperial Pass Great Wall were opened.
Throughout the Nine Heavens Continent, countless saints and cultivators at the Great Saint realm who were unable to enter the Imperial Pass, as well as living fossils from various major forces, were densely gathered at the edge of the starry sky, staring intently at the magnificent Great Wall that stood deep in the void with expectant eyes.
They were all hoping that their ancestor or holy son would be able to wreak havoc inside and send back news of victory.
However, before they could even get excited...
Om-!
The massive bronze gate beneath the Great Wall at Diguan slowly opened once more.
Immediately afterwards, figures exuding powerful quasi-emperor aura began to emerge from within.
"Look! Someone's coming out!"
"How could it be so fast? It's only been about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea! Could something earth-shattering have happened inside, and someone has been eliminated?"
The onlookers at the edge of the starry sky erupted in an instant, with countless divine senses discussing wildly in the void.
But when they finally saw the figures of those who had emerged, the entire starry sky fell into a deathly silence in an instant.
"That's... the blind sword saint from the Tian Shu Star Region?!"
"And the Holy Body Ancestor of the Ancient Li Family! The Demon Lord of the Nine Nether Demonic Sect! How...how did they all come out?!"
The cultivators outside were completely stunned; their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
These thirty-three people who came out were not some insignificant nobodys; they were all quasi-emperors at the peak of their power, renowned throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths for all time!
They are among the most promising candidates to become Emperor in this lifetime!
But now, only a short time has passed since the Emperor's Pass was opened, and these thirty-three top-tier quasi-emperors have actually left the Emperor's Pass unharmed.
"Ancestor! Why did you come out?! What happened inside?!"
When the head of the Li family, a Great Saint Realm cultivator, saw his own Saint Body Ancestor emerge, he turned pale with fright and hurriedly scrambled forward to greet him, his voice filled with endless fear and confusion.
However, when faced with the question from his own junior, the Li family's Escape One Saint Body Ancestor simply sighed with a complicated expression, patted his shoulder, and spoke with an indescribable weariness in his voice.
"Stop asking. Issue my decree: from this day forward, the entire Li family will no longer live in seclusion, and the younger generation can now emerge into the world."
Having said that, the old ancestor made no attempt to explain further, and with a slight sway, disappeared into the horizon.
The remaining thirty-two quasi-emperors also remained silent. Faced with the shocked and bewildered gazes of countless forces around them, none of them had the mind to explain anything.
Are we supposed to make them admit in front of the whole world that they were scared off by a mysterious young man with a single sword strike?
They can't afford to lose face.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
A series of quasi-emperor lights flashed in the starry sky. In less than half an incense stick's time, the thirty-three powerful figures who had entered with great momentum disappeared from everyone's sight.
Only the cultivators who had been watching from all over the universe remained, standing in the cold starry sky, looking at each other in bewilderment, their minds completely blank.
What... what exactly is going on here?
As for the massive cosmic earthquake caused by the outside world, which was enough to be recorded in history, Lin Hanzhou, who was already in the teleportation plaza, was naturally completely unaware of it and didn't care at all.
After passing through the giant bronze gate, what appeared before Lin Hanzhou was a plaza with an area of tens of thousands of feet.
The square is paved with white jade, and twelve huge totem poles stand around it, making it look solemn and sacred.
In the very center of this square, there stands an ancient teleportation platform.
This stone platform is the final reward for those who pass the tenth test.
According to the normal procedure, the quasi-emperors who emerged from the same passage would eventually gather in this square.
What awaits them here is an extremely brutal melee and slaughter.
Only the last survivor is qualified to activate the stone platform and be teleported into the final Heavenly Heart Palace.
