Chapter 460 The Imperial Weapon Possesses a Spirit, the Supreme Being's Scheme
"Whoosh—"
Just as Jiang Ling was in a state of utter confusion, a ripple appeared in the space within the purple bamboo forest.
A tall and slender figure appeared silently in the pavilion.
He didn't exude any earth-shattering pressure, nor did he leak out even a trace of his aura; he was just like an ordinary mortal.
But as he stood there, the surrounding purple bamboo automatically bowed to him, as if paying homage to the sole ruler of this world.
"Master...Master?!"
Jiang Ling was startled and quickly stepped forward, her voice filled with barely concealed excitement and nervousness.
She instinctively wanted to kneel down and perform the most solemn ceremony of worshipping the emperor.
"Alright, there's no need for such formalities in front of me."
Lin Hanzhou smiled slightly, and an invisible, gentle force of law lifted Jiang Ling up.
His face remained as handsome and serene as ever, his eyes filled with gentleness towards his disciples.
"Master...you really...have attained enlightenment?"
Although Jiang Ling had already confirmed it, she still couldn't help but ask in person.
"Um."
Lin Hanzhou nodded, his tone as calm as if he had simply gone out to buy a cabbage.
Upon receiving confirmation from the other party, Jiang Ling gasped.
This is a great emperor whose path can only be attained by one person in a single lifetime.
How come the Great Emperor of Enlightenment speaks of this so simply to his own master?
"I have returned this time to undergo a deep period of seclusion."
Lin Hanzhou didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.
"During this period, the Nine Heavens Continent, and even the entire universe, will definitely not be peaceful. Countless forces, families, and holy lands will come knocking like sharks smelling blood."
As he said this, Lin Hanzhou's gaze deepened.
"You will receive them for me. Accept the offerings of those who are willing to submit; if you encounter any fools, or those with ulterior motives who wish to test us..."
"No need for rules, just kill them. My Lin Hanzhou's dojo is not a place for just anyone to run wild."
Hearing these murderous words, Jiang Ling felt a chill and quickly bowed to accept the order.
"Yes! This disciple will not allow anyone to disturb Master's peaceful cultivation. However... Master, if a powerhouse above the Saint level were to cause trouble, this disciple fears..."
Jiang Ling lacked confidence. After all, she was only at the Saint Realm, but she was powerless against those ancient monsters who had lived for thousands of years.
"It's alright."
Lin Hanzhou chuckled softly and slowly opened his right hand.
"Zheng—!"
With a clear and melodious sword cry, a long sword, entirely black with dark purple Dao patterns flowing across it like galaxies, appeared out of thin air in Lin Hanzhou's palm.
It is the ultimate imperial weapon that has completed its final transformation—[Thunder Tribulation]!
At this moment, the Thunder Tribulation Sword was no longer an inanimate object; it had developed a complete self-awareness.
The sword was surrounded by extremely terrifying lightning laws.
The moment it left Lin Hanzhou's hand, it acted like a spoiled child, circling around Lin Hanzhou twice, making a cheerful buzzing sound, and even affectionately rubbing against Lin Hanzhou's shoulder with the hilt of the sword.
Lin Hanzhou pointed to the Thunder Tribulation Sword and said to Jiang Ling with a smile.
"During my seclusion, I will leave it with you."
Lin Hanzhou reached out and lightly flicked the Thunder Tribulation Sword.
"Listen up, protect her. Anyone who dares to act recklessly in this bamboo grove, you can chop them down."
"Buzzing!"
The Thunder Tribulation Sword trembled violently, unleashing bursts of extremely sharp sword energy, as if patting its chest to guarantee the completion of the mission.
Then, it transformed into a stream of light and hovered directly above Jiang Ling's head.
An aura of imperial weaponness instantly enveloped Jiang Ling.
Strangely, this oppressive force did not cause any harm to Jiang Ling; instead, it acted as an indestructible barrier.
Jiang Ling could clearly feel that as long as the sword above her head was there, even a full-force attack from a peak Quasi-Emperor would not be able to harm a single hair on her head.
If the Thunder Tribulation Sword were to strike on its own... even without anyone activating it, with its terrifying foundation of having devoured the cosmic tribulation, it would be more than capable of easily annihilating all living beings below the level of a Great Emperor!
"Thank you, Master!"
Jiang Ling felt much more at ease, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement.
Go ahead, do as you please.
After leaving behind a sentence, Lin Hanzhou's figure faded away again.
He didn't even take a single step; his entire being seemed to merge into space, disappearing from the spot without a trace.
In the vast purple bamboo forest, only Jiang Ling remained, along with the supreme imperial weapon that exuded terrifying killing intent.
.......
Meanwhile, in the infinitely distant depths of the universe, far from the Nine Heavens Continent.
Within those forbidden zones of life shrouded in endless darkness and mist, the atmosphere was unusually eerie and oppressive.
Undying Mountain, Devouring Demon Abyss, Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum, Nine Nether Sea...
Deep within some of the oldest and most mysterious forbidden zones, several enormous divine sources are emitting faint soul fluctuations.
Those self-proclaimed supreme beings, having sensed the aura of the current emperor suppressing the Qilin Spear, directly crossed star fields and left the battlefield.
They then began to communicate through telepathy.
"What do you all think?"
A chilling voice echoed from the depths of the Netherworld Sea.
"After the battle, this Emperor of Time left in such a hurry, not even bothering to clean up the battlefield or erase the traces of his Dao. Could it be... that he actually suffered a severe Dao injury?"
"Hmph! Is that even a question?!"
One of the supreme beings from the Nine Nether Seas immediately echoed this sentiment, his voice filled with barely concealed greed.
"That old madman, the Qilin Ancient Emperor, has reached the pinnacle of power! How can you easily withstand the desperate counterattack of a Great Emperor? Even if the Time Emperor is incredibly powerful, he must have paid a heavy price! He was merely putting on a brave face just now!"
"That's right! The reason he walked so fast was because he was afraid we would see through his disguise!"
"He is currently in an extremely weak state, his laws are fluctuating, and his vital energy is depleted! Now... is the perfect time to launch a sneak attack on him."
The supreme voice of the Devouring Heaven Demon Abyss became excited.
In an instant, the atmosphere among the supreme beings became heated, as if a pack of wolves had spotted their wounded prey and were about to burst forth and attack the Nine Heavens Continent.
