Chapter 459 Suppressing the Qilin War Spear, Returning to the 9th Heaven Continent
He severed his own body with a single stroke, sealing his imperial form and transforming into a dark sovereign, lurking in the forbidden zone of life.
Feeding on the lives of all living beings, devouring the essence and blood of billions of creatures, all in the hope of waiting for the legendary path to immortality to open.
He also mocked those emperors who refused to fall into depravity.
"Foolish! The path to immortality is so close, yet you willingly choose to perish, even sacrificing yourselves to protect those ants? Hahaha, how laughable!"
Some of the ancient emperors who refused to fall into depravity chose to pass away peacefully after their path to immortality became hopeless, returning to the world.
Some even fought to the death against the Dark Lord in order to protect all living beings.
He once stood atop the forbidden zone, looking down at those corpses, and let out a disdainful sneer.
But now, in the instant before his consciousness completely dissipated, he finally understood.
Becoming an immortal... isn't absolutely necessary.
The path to immortality is elusive and may never come.
But for that elusive hope, he sacrificed eternal dignity and slaughtered countless innocent people.
Those ancient emperors who refused to fall into depravity were the true emperors.
They protected all living beings, the Great Dao, and that original Daoist heart.
"So... I was wrong..."
The last wisp of the Qilin Ancient Emperor's consciousness, filled with relief and remorse, completely merged into the world.
Only Lin Hanzhou could vaguely hear his voice.
Lin Hanzhou, dressed in black, stood silently in the void.
His deep eyes, which seemed to contain two long rivers of time, showed no ripples, no pity, and no ecstatic joy after defeating a great enemy.
He was like a god transcending time and cause and effect, coldly watching the place where the Qilin Ancient Emperor disappeared.
"Right and wrong are meaningless. At the end of the great path, there is only strength and weakness."
Lin Hanzhou whispered.
"Buzz—"
Just then, a shrill and mournful buzzing sound interrupted Lin Hanzhou's thoughts.
In the void a hundred feet away from him, the supreme imperial weapon that had lost its master—the [Qilin Battle Spear]—was struggling violently.
On the spear, five-colored divine light surged wildly like boiling magma, and chaotic energy transformed into miniature ancient Qilin, roaring in grief and indignation at Lin Hanzhou.
The imperial weapon possessed a spirit; it was mourning its master and wanted to launch a suicidal attack on Lin Hanzhou.
"How dare you, a mere unclaimed item, be so insolent before me, the Emperor?"
Lin Hanzhou snorted coldly and slowly extended his right hand.
His hand moved slowly, yet in an instant, it traversed the distance of space and gripped the shaft of the Qilin Spear tightly!
"boom!"
The spear unleashed a terrifying backlash, enough to easily shatter the ultimate laws of an ordinary quasi-emperor, and spread wildly along Lin Hanzhou's arm.
However, Lin Hanzhou merely raised his eyelids slightly, and a glint of light flashed from the Heavenly Heart Mark between his brows.
"Time, suppression."
One word is spoken, and all laws follow.
The laws of time transformed into countless invisible chains, instantly binding the Qilin Spear.
The surging, multicolored divine light and the roaring Qilin Dharma form, upon contact with the laws of time, seemed to be paused, and then dimmed and fell silent at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few breaths, this fierce weapon, which had accompanied the ancient emperor in his countless battles, completely ceased its struggles and obediently lay in Lin Hanzhou's hand, emitting mournful cries of submission.
"The materials are quite good; I can incorporate them into my 'Thunder Tribulation' later."
Lin Hanzhou didn't even glance at it, casually tossing the Qilin Spear into his own created personal world.
Then, he turned around, his back to the ruined star field, and took a step out.
"Whoosh—"
The starlight beneath his feet rippled like water as Lin Hanzhou's figure vanished instantly from this desolate edge of the universe, leaving not even a trace of spatial fluctuation.
When Lin Hanzhou reappeared, he had already arrived at the core of the universe—the outer starry sky of the Nine Heavens Continent.
This vast and boundless supercontinent is like a dazzling emerald inlaid at the center of the universe, exuding an extremely rich life force.
At this moment, Lin Hanzhou did not rush to descend, but instead raised his head and looked at the starry sky above the Nine Heavens Continent.
There, once stood a magnificent Great Wall stretching for hundreds of millions of miles.
That is the Great Wall of Imperial Pass, which has haunted the dreams of countless geniuses throughout the universe and buried countless bones.
Since ancient times, the Imperial Pass and the Great Wall have been the final testing ground on the path to becoming an emperor.
Countless quasi-emperors fought here, vying for that one and only destiny.
but now……
As Lin Hanzhou's gaze fell upon it, the Imperial Pass Great Wall, which exuded an ancient and desolate aura, was becoming transparent and illusory at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The massive city bricks vanished as starlight, and the towering beacon towers collapsed into nothingness.
The Great Wall slowly disappeared into the depths of the universe.
Lin Hanzhou stood with his hands behind his back, calmly watching this scene.
He knew what the disappearance of the Imperial Pass Great Wall meant.
When the Heavenly Mark of this lifetime is borne by someone, and when a flawless emperor of this era emerges, the Imperial Pass loses its meaning.
In this era belonging to the Emperor of Time, there is no longer a need for trials or competition, because all light must submit to the one and only sun.
Lin Hanzhou stopped paying attention to the dissipating afterimages.
He slowly closed his eyes, feeling the surging power of the twelve million Dao traces within his body after they merged.
"The Ancient Emperor Qilin... although he was a loser, his power after reaching its ultimate sublimation is indeed an excellent whetstone."
Lin Hanzhou thought to himself.
In this battle at the Emperor level, he was not as relaxed and carefree as he appeared on the surface.
He operated the laws of time with unprecedented intensity, which led to a qualitative leap in his control over the flow of time and his understanding of the ravages of time.
He even vaguely touched upon the deeper forbidden realm of the laws of time.
It's not just about controlling the present and the future, but also about interfering with that ethereal "past".
"I must go into seclusion as soon as possible to thoroughly digest these insights. I can sense that my level of understanding has not yet reached true perfection."
Lin Hanzhou made a decision.
He took a step forward, and his figure disappeared from the spot once again.
........
Northern Region, Divine Fire Ridge, Purple Bamboo Forest.
This place was Lin Hanzhou's training ground before he became an emperor.
On ordinary days, this place is quiet and elegant, a rare place for self-cultivation.
Meanwhile, deep within the purple bamboo forest, a woman of unparalleled beauty, dressed in a light purple flowing dress, was pacing anxiously back and forth outside a pavilion.
She is Lin Hanzhou's only personally taught disciple—Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling's cultivation level is not considered outstanding among her peers, but she has still entered the realm of saints.
During this period, she could clearly feel the earth-shattering changes that had taken place in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, even though she was in Shenhuo Ridge.
The condensation of the Heavenly Heart Imprint, the submission of all the myriad paths of the universe, and even that blood rain and mournful cries that just now brought tears to the eyes of all living beings in the universe...
All of this signifies that a new emperor has been born, and that he has also slain an ancient supreme being!
What made Jiang Ling's mind go blank was that she confirmed it through the familiar aura of the laws that she knew to the bone.
That reigning emperor, who reigns supreme and sweeps through forbidden zones with his sword, is none other than her master, Lin Hanzhou!
"Master... he actually went all the way! And... he killed a Supreme Being right after attaining enlightenment..."
Jiang Ling's beautiful eyes were filled with shock and disbelief, even mixed with a hint of awe that she herself was unaware of.
Even if you search through all of ancient history, in the records of the great emperors of all dynasties, there has never been a being who possessed such terrifying combat power right after attaining enlightenment!
