Chapter 444 Time Standstill
boom!
The first blast of karmic fire lightning was cleaved in two by Lin Hanzhou's sword, turning into a shower of fire that scattered across the sky.
boom!
The second destructive lightning bolt collided with the sword energy, erupting into a blinding ball of light before both were annihilated.
The third one!
The fourth one!
……
The eighth one!
Lin Hanzhou's figure weaved through the raging sea of lightning, like an invincible war god.
He actually withstood the bombardment of the first eight Emperor-level lightning strikes by virtue of his terrifying swordsmanship!
However, just as Lin Hanzhou shattered the eighth bolt of lightning...
Another anomaly has occurred!
The ninth bolt of lightning, which had yet to strike.
It was an invisible bolt of lightning, almost transparent, as if it did not exist in the real world!
It made no sound and emitted no pressure whatsoever.
But at the moment it fell, its speed surpassed that of light, and even seemed to break the shackles of time!
"Too fast!"
Lin Hanzhou's pupils suddenly contracted.
The speed of this ninth bolt of lightning far exceeded his expectations.
Even though his powerful divine sense captured its trajectory, his body was too late to make a perfect defensive move.
boom--! ! !
A dull thud exploded in Lin Hanzhou's chest.
The invisible lightning struck him hard.
Lin Hanzhou was struck as if by lightning. Like a kite with a broken string, he plummeted from mid-air and crashed heavily to the ground.
Lin Hanzhou slowly stood up from the deep pit. His plain black clothes had been blown to shreds, revealing a charred wound on his chest.
A trickle of bright red blood was slowly oozing from the corner of his mouth, making him look rather disheveled.
"Tick-tock".
A drop of bright red blood fell onto the bronze floor, making a crisp sound.
"Hahaha!"
Upon seeing this scene, Mo Linyu couldn't help but burst into wild, ecstatic laughter.
"After being struck by my perfected-level Thunderous Radiance, you've finally been injured!"
Mo Linyu was filled with unparalleled confidence at this moment.
It should be noted that 30,000 years ago, he once rivaled Emperor Qingyu.
The reason he narrowly lost at that time was that his "Thunder Shines Through the Nine Heavens" imperial technique had only been cultivated to the Great Perfection stage.
Now, after 30,000 years of self-imposed seclusion and reflection, he has finally perfected this imperial technique!
He was confident that even if the Qingyu Emperor were to be resurrected, he would not gain any advantage against his perfect-level Emperor Law at the same realm, and he was even confident that he could defeat him!
"You are indeed terrifyingly strong. Even Qingyu back then might not have been your match, but this ends here!"
Mo Linyu frantically activated the power of the laws within his body, and the phantom of the Qilin behind him roared again, with more lightning beginning to gather, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Lin Hanzhou.
However, just when Mo Linyu thought victory was in his grasp...
The young man in black, who looked somewhat disheveled, suddenly lowered his head.
He reached out a hand and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the glaring crimson stain on his fingertip, Lin Hanzhou smiled.
Those once deep and calm eyes were now ablaze with an unprecedented fervor!
I never imagined that I, who had always been invincible in my realm, would be injured by someone of the same realm.
This long-lost sense of equal footing excited him.
Lin Hanzhou suddenly raised his head and stared intently at Mo Linyu in mid-air. His eyes were like those of an ancient ferocious beast that had been starving for millions of years and had finally seen its prey to tear apart!
The aura emanating from him was no longer unfathomable as before, but had completely transformed into a raging ocean.
The fluctuations in the laws of time erupted with unprecedented and terrifying intensity.
Lin Hanzhou slowly uttered four words.
"Time stands still!"
Buzz—! ! !
As these four words were uttered, an invisible and formless yet extremely domineering force of law swept through the entire space like a tsunami.
For an instant.
The world has lost its sound.
The thunder that was roaring across the dome of the main hall suddenly stopped in mid-air, the dazzling lightning frozen into a cold sculpture.
The dust particles floating in the air have come to a standstill.
Even the propagation of light stopped at this moment, and the colors of the entire hall instantly faded, turning into a monotonous gray-white.
Meanwhile, Mo Linyu, who was in mid-air, was also enveloped by this supreme power.
His expression remained as arrogant and smug as it had been a second ago, and the murderous intent in his eyes hadn't even had time to dissipate.
But the spiritual energy within him stopped flowing, his heart stopped beating, and his mind was trapped in that single frame of the image.
Everything else stands still, only I walk alone.
In this absolutely still, gray world, Lin Hanzhou is the only one with color and the only one capable of movement.
He took a step.
He traversed a hundred feet of space in one step and arrived in front of Mo Linyu in mid-air.
He looked at Mo Linyu's frozen, maniacal face, without a trace of pity in his eyes.
"Your Highness, the general has arrived."
Lin Hanzhou gripped the hilt of the Thunder Tribulation sword with both hands and raised it high.
On the longsword, the destructive sword intent was contained to the extreme. Once it was unleashed, it would be enough to shred Mo Linyu and his soul into nothingness!
Swish!
With a murderous intent, the longsword slashed down fiercely towards Mo Linyu's neck.
With time frozen in time, this sword strike was unavoidable.
But just one ten-millionth of a second before the blade was about to slice through Mo Linyu's throat!
Nourishes...
A blinding purple arc of electricity suddenly leaped across the surface of Mo Linyu's grayish-white eyeballs.
Followed by.
"boom!"
A muffled explosion rang out.
Mo Linyu's body, in this absolute time freeze, strangely transformed into a ball of pure purple-gold lightning!
The longsword slashed down, passing directly through the ball of lightning, only shattering an afterimage.
Meanwhile, a hundred feet away in the void, the ball of lightning regrouped, revealing the figure of Mo Linyu, panting heavily and covered in cold sweat!
"What?!"
This time, it was Lin Hanzhou's turn to be surprised.
He sheathed his sword and stood there, and the realm of frozen time was dispelled, restoring color and noise to the hall once more.
Lin Hanzhou frowned slightly and looked at Mo Linyu in the distance.
"It's gotten out of control?"
He had absolute confidence in his "time freeze" technique.
Although the suppression effect of the Time Law on cultivators of the same realm is greatly reduced, with his peak Quasi-Emperor cultivation, he could definitely control an opponent of the same realm for several tens of seconds without any problem.
Even though Mo Linyu is an ancient prince with extremely strong abilities, he can still at least control him for two or three seconds.
In this fierce battle for the imperial path, where every second counts, two or three seconds is enough for Lin Hanzhou to kill him ten times over!
but……
The speed at which the other party broke free of control was less than a second!
