Chapter 562 The Imperial Pass Reappears, A Startling Speculation
The world is waiting, waiting for the final revelation of the mystery surrounding the Taiyin Emperor's Mausoleum.
A thousand years have passed...
Three thousand years have passed...
Five thousand years have passed...
Time, that merciless sculptor, has left deep marks in every corner of the universe.
Five thousand years is enough time for many once-glorious ancient traditions to vanish into thin air, and also enough time for new forces to rise in the sea of stars.
However, the void in the far north remained like a stagnant pool, without the slightest ripple.
The Heavenly Mark still hangs stably in the heavens.
Until... ten thousand years later!
A full ten thousand years!
On this day, a sudden change occurred on the Nine Heavens Continent, the core of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, in the once peaceful central region of the universe!
"Boom!!!"
A series of deep, muffled war drumbeats, seemingly from the ancient primordial era, resounded without warning from the depths of the Nine Heavens Continent.
The sound of the drum not only shook the earth, but also resounded directly in the depths of the souls of billions of living beings in the universe!
Immediately afterwards, above the Nine Heavens Continent, endless celestial light soared into the sky, dispelling the heavy darkness.
Under the utterly astonished gazes of cultivators throughout the universe.
A majestic Great Wall, exuding an aura of suppressing the vicissitudes of time, slowly emerged from the void!
The Great Wall stretches for countless billions of miles, like a chaotic dragon coiled at the center of the universe.
In the very center of the Great Wall, a magnificent pass, towering into the clouds and radiating endless imperial power, suddenly burst open!
"That...that is..."
An old sage who had lived for nearly ten thousand years was so moved when he saw the scene recorded in the ancient book appear vividly before his eyes that he knelt down on the spot, tears streaming down his face.
"The Imperial Pass Great Wall! That's the legendary Imperial Pass Great Wall that only manifests when the imperial throne is vacant for ten thousand years!"
"The Imperial Pass and Great Wall have appeared, the Imperial Gates have opened... This signifies the beginning of a new imperial journey!"
At this moment, all the young geniuses in the universe, and those unparalleled prodigies who had been suppressed for ten thousand years, were all in an uproar!
Their eyes burned with a mad flame, an extreme desire for the supreme throne!
However, after the boiling and frenzy came a chilling cold that went straight to the top of one's head and endless doubts.
The prerequisite for opening the Emperor's Path is that there is no longer a Great Emperor in this world!
The Heavenly Heart Mark is currently unclaimed, awaiting a new suitable recipient to merge with it!
All eyes instantly turned fixed on the Heavenly Heart Mark high in the sky.
The high-hanging mark still radiated a dazzling light, but upon closer inspection, everyone was horrified to discover that the aura of Emperor Lin Hanzhou of Time was no longer present in the mark!
It was a blank mark that was unclaimed!
"This...how is this possible?!"
At this moment, all beings in the universe felt as if billions of thunderbolts were striking their minds simultaneously, completely overturning all common sense!
"For ten thousand years, this Heavenly Heart Mark has remained perfectly stable, without the slightest sign of collapse or mournful cry. We all believed that the Great Emperor was still alive and well, still locked in a stalemate with the forbidden zone. But now it seems..."
A quasi-emperor-level expert, proficient in divination, deduced the truth with a pale face, his voice trembling violently.
"Ten thousand years ago! Ten thousand years ago, the Emperor of Time, the moment he stepped into the Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum, secretly severed his connection with the Heavenly Heart Mark using some incredible, heaven-defying method!"
"He voluntarily removed the Heavenly Heart Mark, restoring it to its ownerless state!"
"The reason why the Heavenly Heart Mark has remained so stable and undisturbed for the past ten thousand years is not because the Great Emperor is suppressing it. It turns out that this mark has never been bound to the Great Emperor at all!"
This truth, like a magnitude 12 earthquake, swept across every corner of the world in an instant.
It was only at this moment that the ancient supreme beings in the various forbidden zones of life belatedly learned of this terrifying news.
"That madman Lin Hanzhou! He actually severed his Heavenly Heart Mark on his own initiative?!"
Deep within the Immortal Mountain, a supreme being uttered an incredulous exclamation.
"Has he gone mad?! Entering the desperate situation of the Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum, facing the siege of six supreme beings, not only did he not rely on the power of the Heavenly Heart Mark, but he also actively severed it? He's courting death!"
However, after the initial shock, what followed was a fear more chilling than ice that gripped the hearts of these supreme beings.
Even so, even knowing that Lin Hanzhou had lost the blessing of the Heavenly Heart Mark ten thousand years ago, which was equivalent to falling from the peak of the Emperor Realm, the various forbidden zones of life remained deathly silent.
No one dared to be born at this time, no one dared to test this seemingly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Because they were not ordinary people; they were ancient emperors who had looked down upon the ages, and their wisdom was unfathomable.
They immediately realized something chilling upon closer inspection.
Since Lin Hanzhou severed the Heavenly Heart Mark ten thousand years ago.
Since in that battle, the Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum had the advantage of timing, location, and popular support, with the six supreme beings besieging Lin Hanzhou, who had fallen from his peak and even voluntarily given up the blessing of the Heavenly Heart.
Logically speaking, the Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum should have been able to suppress and kill Lin Hanzhou without breaking a sweat!
Even if Lin Hanzhou fights back desperately, he will never be able to hold out for more than a few months!
However, for thousands of years, the Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum has shown no signs of emerging from the world!
Those six supreme beings did not come out to declare victory, nor did they come out to divide up the flesh and blood of the Great Emperor of Lin Hanzhou. Even the concealment array of the Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum has been kept in the highest level of closure for ten thousand years!
It's impossible for the two sides to remain locked in a stalemate for ten thousand years within the restricted area.
The battle between the Great Emperor and the Supreme Being was incredibly taxing. Without the replenishment of the essence of heaven and earth, neither Lin Hanzhou nor the six Supreme Beings could have lasted for ten thousand years.
So, after eliminating all the impossible options, the remaining answer, no matter how absurd or unbelievable, is the only truth.
The answer is obvious!
The Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum has fallen!
Not only were they defeated, they were utterly and completely annihilated!
The Emperor of Time, Lin Hanzhou, whom they considered to be courting death by voluntarily severing his Heavenly Heart Mark, single-handedly killed six ancient supreme beings on the home ground of the Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum, turning this supreme forbidden zone that had been passed down for countless eras into the ground!
The Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum has now been occupied by the Emperor of Time and has become his private dojo!
The reason the other party did not choose to emerge into the world might be that they wanted to use this method to lure these supreme beings out of the world, and then suppress and kill them.
After all, this Emperor of Time wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.
"hiss--"
A collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the various restricted areas.
This deduced news filled them with horror and dread.
This was even more unbelievable and terrifying to them than when the Great Emperor Hongyu destroyed the Immortal Tomb with his Great Accomplishment Holy Body and Overlord Body.
