Chapter 502 Ancient Sacred Body and Heavenly Overlord Body
Time flowed slowly through this silent space.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Inside this immortal path, devoid of sun, moon, and stars, the concept of time becomes extremely blurred.
Just as the cracks on Lin Hanzhou's body had been mostly repaired, and the Emperor's Qi and Blood within his body had returned to their peak state, like a raging dragon lying in wait.
Another unexpected change has occurred!
"Thump...thump...thump..."
A series of extremely chaotic footsteps suddenly came faintly from all directions through the dim yellow mist.
The sound was initially very faint, but after only a few breaths, it became deafening.
Even the four hundredth golden step beneath Lin Hanzhou's feet began to tremble slightly.
"Um?"
Lin Hanzhou suddenly opened his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in his deep gaze.
He did not get up, but decisively used his vast divine sense as the center of the four hundredth step to explore the dense fog in all directions like mercury flowing across the ground.
"This...this is?!"
The moment the images fed back by his divine sense entered Lin Hanzhou's mind, his face, which was known for its unwavering composure, suddenly turned extremely gloomy, and even his breathing paused for a moment.
In his divine perception.
From the bottom of this vast, boundless golden staircase, from the depths of the cliff edge, there were more than a dozen extremely tall figures frantically flanking his location!
Some of these people wore tattered blue armor, some wore ancient animal skin coats, and some were shirtless, revealing bronze skin covered with mysterious runes.
But without exception, they all share a common characteristic.
Their eyes were empty and lifeless, and they had no trace of the Daoist aura that belonged to the living. They only relied on the power of their physical blood and qi, which operated entirely on instinct!
"More than a dozen... all of them are corpses of Spirit Emperors?!"
Lin Hanzhou gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine.
Just now, when dealing with a spirit emperor's corpse, he was able to easily kill it by using a dimensional reduction attack on the soul.
But now, a dozen monsters, each with the physical strength of an emperor, have surrounded us like a swarm of sharks that have smelled blood!
Even if they don't have supernatural powers or magic, even if they are all super infantrymen who can only use basic attacks, they are still more than a dozen emperor-level physical bodies!
Once they get close and entangle you, even the greatest emperor of the time will be worn down and die on these steps!
But this wasn't the part that made Lin Hanzhou's scalp tingle the most.
Lin Hanzhou's divine sense swept across the dozen or so figures extremely quickly, attempting to assess the enemy's overall strength.
Just as his divine sense swept over the two figures walking at the front, his heart suddenly pounded violently and uncontrollably!
The two people walking at the very front.
On the left is a man wearing a tattered golden battle suit whose original color is no longer discernible. His long hair flies wildly like the mane of a golden lion.
Even though he has been dead for countless millennia, and even though he is now just a spirit corpse with only instincts left, his physical body still continuously emits an extremely domineering golden blood aura that seems capable of crushing the eternal sky!
The golden blood energy above his head even faintly condensed into a vast golden ocean!
The man on the right was an extremely burly and robust man.
He was shirtless, and the blood flowing from his bulging muscles, which resembled coiled dragons, was not red, but a purplish-red blood filled with an aura of destruction and rage!
With each step he took forward, an overbearing will that seemed to command the heavens to submit emanated from the depths of his very being!
"They lacked the aura of the Heavenly Heart Imprint of the Great Emperors... They did not attain the Dao and become Emperors during their lifetimes."
Lin Hanzhou stared intently at the two people, frantically searching his memory for relevant information. Then, a term that he found extremely troublesome surfaced.
"They are... unorthodox enlightened beings?!"
In the vast and boundless ancient history of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Great Emperor is not the only synonym for the ultimate realm.
Normally, in a great era, all the myriad paths of the universe will intertwine to create a unique "Heavenly Heart Imprint".
Whoever can defeat all competitors in the universe, survive the cataclysmic tribulation of the Great Emperor, and unite their own Great Dao with this Heavenly Heart Mark, will become the sole Great Emperor of that era.
During the reign of the Great Emperor, all paths submit to him, and his Great Dao suppresses the entire universe, making it absolutely impossible for a second Great Emperor to be born in the same era.
However, the cultivation world has never lacked monstrous talents who defy the heavens.
There are always some exceptionally talented individuals, or those with extraordinary physical abilities.
They were born at the wrong time, living in the same era as a great emperor who had already attained enlightenment.
With the path ahead blocked by the laws of the Great Emperor and unable to merge with the Heavenly Heart Imprint, they forcibly broke through the suppression of all the myriad paths by relying on their terrifying talent and heaven-defying physical constitution. They forcibly raised their realm, combat power, and physical body to a terrifying level that was comparable to the Great Emperor and could even challenge the Great Emperor of the present era!
Such beings, who have not undergone the "Great Emperor Tribulation" and have not merged with the Heavenly Heart Mark, yet possess extreme combat power, are called—alternative Dao achievers!
In theory, those who achieve enlightenment through alternative means are not limited to "one emperor per generation," and multiple individuals can emerge in a single era.
However, the difficulty of defying the heavens and achieving enlightenment in an unconventional way under the suppression of the current emperor's myriad paths is even a hundred times more difficult than achieving enlightenment and becoming an emperor normally in an era without an emperor!
That would require enduring a terrifying backlash from the laws of the entire universe!
Therefore, those who have reached the point of achieving enlightenment through unconventional means are all unparalleled figures who have swept across the ages.
Among them, the most famous and the easiest to achieve unconventional enlightenment are those prodigies with the legendary "ultimate physique".
"That's... a golden ocean of blood and energy, a physique impervious to all magic... that's the [Ancient Sacred Body] at its peak!"
Lin Hanzhou's gaze was fixed on the blond man on the left, his expression extremely serious.
"And that... Purple Blood Soaring to the Heavens, Dominating the World, is the ultimate form of the [Heavenly Overlord Body], destined to be with the Ancient Sacred Body!"
His gaze then shifted to the burly man with purple blood on his right.
Ancient Sacred Body and Heavenly Overlord Body!
These two constitutions have left behind countless invincible legends throughout the ancient history of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
They are natural enemies. Once they reach a high level, even if they don't become emperors, they can still challenge the emperors of their time!
The most prized feature of the perfected Holy Body and Overlord Body is their invincible physical body, which is so abnormal that it is even stronger than that of an ordinary Great Emperor!
