Chapter 490 The Dim Road of No Return
However, behind this hole, there was no surge of violent chaotic energy powerful enough to tear apart a quasi-emperor, nor did the auspicious scene of ethereal beauty and flying cranes that had been expected appear.
Through that huge hole.
Lin Hanzhou saw an extremely bizarre scene, one that even gave him a sense of inexplicable dread.
At the other end of the hole lies a strange space completely separate from the heavens and earth.
In that space, there was no sun, moon, stars, mountains, or rivers.
The entire sky was filled with an extremely oppressive, ancient, and dim yellow color, as if it had experienced countless eras of decay!
It was a deathly hue, like that of twilight, so desolate that just one glance could evoke an overwhelming sense of bleakness and despair in one's heart.
And right in the center of that dim, yellowish sky.
A massive, hundred-zhang-wide, stepped avenue formed from pure golden divine light descended vertically from the depths of that unknown dome!
At the end of the stairs, the path disappeared into the deep, dim mist, making it impossible to see where it led.
On the surface of that golden road, faint wisps of the aura of the [Immortal Laws] drifted out slowly through the gap, like a tangible golden mist.
"The dim, yellowish space... the vertical golden avenue... and this aura of immortality that makes one's very soul tremble..."
Lin Hanzhou stood at the edge of the hole, letting the golden mist brush against his face. His eyes, which had always been calm as water, finally ignited with an unprecedented fervor.
"Is this the path to immortality that has buried countless emperors and ancient sovereigns?"
.........
On the edge of the universe, in a place where the void is shattered.
A massive black hole, thousands of feet in diameter, is like the single eye of an ancient ferocious beast, firmly embedded in this absolutely desolate star field.
Behind that hole was a strange space, dim, desolate, and resembling the twilight of the gods.
A golden avenue, ten thousand feet wide, descended from the deepest part of the dim yellow mist, as if it were a ladder to heaven sent down by the heavens out of pity for mortals.
At this moment, if it were those supreme beings who were struggling through the years in the forbidden zone of life and whose lifespan had come to an end, they would probably have gone completely mad the first time they saw this scene.
They would be like a pack of hungry wolves that have smelled blood, burning their last bit of life force to plunge into that dim, yellowish space and seize that elusive opportunity to become an immortal.
However, Lin Hanzhou did not.
This invincible Emperor of Time, at this moment, is like an ancient white jade statue, standing quietly at the edge of the shattered void.
His feet seemed to be rooted to the ground, firmly planted on this side of the cosmos, not even a corner of his clothing crossed the broken gap.
The fervor in his eyes had vanished, replaced by a calm as still as ice.
"It's too quiet..."
Lin Hanzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, his deep eyes, which could see through the long river of time, staring intently at the golden staircase shrouded in dim yellow mist.
This path is revered as the "Path to Immortality" in ancient texts throughout the nine heavens and ten earths, and is the ultimate palace that countless brilliant emperors and sovereigns throughout the ages have dreamed of.
However, as Lin Hanzhou stood there, he neither heard any celestial music of the Great Dao nor saw any auspicious celestial birds or beasts.
All he could feel was an extreme desolation and deathly silence.
Lin Hanzhou couldn't help but recall the fragments of words recorded in ancient books.
From the ancient times to the mythological era, and now to the present day.
Throughout these endless ages, how many invincible emperors have been born in this universe?
Which of them wasn't a chosen one of heaven who swept through an era and suppressed all paths?
Many of them chose to embark on this path in their later years.
Emperor Hongyu, Emperor Cangxuan, Emperor Taiyin, Emperor Taiyang... and even those peerless supreme beings who once launched dark turmoil and would stop at nothing to survive.
They all went inside.
and then?
And then, that was it.
No one returned, not a single word was uttered, not even a drop of blood, a piece of bone, or a fragment of a broken imperial weapon drifted out from this dim, yellow space.
This golden staircase is like a bottomless abyss, mercilessly swallowing some of the most amazing creatures in the history of this universe.
"The so-called path to immortality is also a dead end. Even supreme beings and emperors who have reached the pinnacle of their cultivation have perished here without a trace. How can I, like those reckless fools, charge headlong into it without any precautions?"
Lin Hanzhou coldly warned himself in his heart.
He knew very well that although he had mastered the laws of time, his combat power was definitely among the top of all the emperors in history.
But this does not mean that he can act recklessly on this path that even true immortals may not be able to traverse.
Maintaining reverence is the key to a cultivator's longevity.
He stood still, carefully extending his divine sense as an emperor, like countless invisible tentacles, slowly spreading into the broken hole.
The moment Lin Hanzhou's divine sense probed into that dim, yellowish space, his brows twitched sharply.
He sensed a very peculiar resistance.
It was not some kind of physical array barrier, but a suppression of laws from a higher dimension.
It was like a fish accustomed to swimming in shallow waters being suddenly thrown into the deep sea. The terrifying water pressure from all directions made his spiritual exploration extremely slow and difficult.
"Interesting. It can even suppress my divine sense. The level of the laws in this space is indeed above the Great Dao of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
Lin Hanzhou was not discouraged; he slowly raised his right hand.
With a gentle flick of her long, slender, fair fingers, a wisp of silvery time law swirled around her fingertips.
"Come."
He gave a low shout and aimed his fingertip at a wisp of golden mist drifting out of the hole.
The wisp of golden mist was extremely thin; if it weren't for the Emperor's keen eyesight, ordinary people would not have been able to detect it at all.
Guided by Lin Hanzhou, the wisp of mist slowly passed through the shattered spatial barrier and landed in his palm.
