Chapter 454 Even among the Great Emperors, there is a world of difference.
"Imperial Law - Qilin's Sky-Treading Step!"
As the Ancient Emperor Qilin took a step forward, the enormous Qilin Dharma Image also raised a huge hoof capable of crushing stars, carrying a terrifying pressure that could annihilate all paths, and stomped down fiercely on Lin Hanzhou's head!
The power of this kick is enough to turn any quasi-emperor into ashes instantly, and even emperors of the same level would have to temporarily avoid its edge.
But the moment that giant hoof of the Qilin, powerful enough to crush stars, touched the river of time, an extremely bizarre scene unfolded.
The giant hoof, which contained the ultimate laws, was not split open, but began to decay at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The immense power of time was compressed into that single sword strike in an instant.
The chains of divine law on the giant hoof of the Qilin broke one by one, and the originally colorful light quickly became dim and lost its luster, eventually turning into dust that filled the sky and dissipated into the sea of lightning.
"What?!"
The Qilin Ancient Emperor's expression changed drastically. He felt an extremely terrifying power of time frantically eroding his body through his magic!
He already had little lifespan left, and his vital energy was declining. What he feared most was this kind of time law that deprived him of his lifespan!
Left with no other choice, the Ancient Emperor of Qilin hastily severed his connection with the Qilin Dharma Image to prevent the spread of the laws of time.
He dodged the sword with a swift movement, retreating rapidly.
But Lin Hanzhou clearly wouldn't let him off so easily.
Just as his opponent dodged, Lin Hanzhou pressed his advantage, his figure instantly appearing above the head of the Qilin Ancient Emperor.
boom!
With a single sword strike, the sword energy, imbued with the vast laws of time, fell once more!
"roar--!"
Knowing that he could not dodge this attack, the Qilin Ancient Emperor let out a furious roar, and his ancient body burst forth with dazzling five-colored divine light.
He swiftly formed hand seals, and a massive divine shield, entirely condensed from the runes of the Great Emperor, stood firmly above his head.
"Snap!!!"
It was accompanied by a deafening, shattering sound that made the entire universe tremble.
Just one sword strike!
The ultimate divine shield, which contained the Dao fruit of an ancient emperor's life, was instantly cleaved in two like paper under Lin Hanzhou's sword strike, which contained the law of time!
Feeling the overwhelming power of the laws of time approaching, the Qilin Ancient Emperor had no choice but to mobilize his own laws to resist.
However, the laws of time blocked it, and the violent lightning sword energy still rushed straight in, slamming hard into the shoulder of the Qilin Ancient Emperor!
puff!
A blinding beam of blood shot into the sky.
That was the blood of an ancient emperor!
Each drop of blood was as heavy as a star, and the terrifying energy contained within it instantly annihilated more than a dozen meteorites in the sea of lightning below into nothingness the moment it fell.
"ah!!!"
The Qilin Ancient Emperor groaned as his right arm was sliced clean of most of its flesh by the sword, the bone exposed!
He was sent flying backward as if he had been hit by a meteorite, crashing through more than a dozen dead stars in the starry sky before finally regaining his footing.
One sword!
This single sword strike severely injured the Ancient Emperor Qilin!
Many awakened supreme beings from forbidden zones throughout the universe were also observing this battle.
But when they saw this scene, they all gasped in shock, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
"How is that possible! Even a supreme being who has severed himself shouldn't be unable to withstand a single sword strike from a newly ascended emperor!"
"Hmph, what's impossible? It's all because that Qilin Ancient Emperor is a piece of trash."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't just stand there and talk like you know nothing. If you're so capable, go and exchange a few blows with that newly crowned emperor."
"This is a complete one-sided crushing defeat! The new emperor hasn't even used half his strength; he's toying with the Qilin Ancient Emperor!"
......
On the other side of the battlefield, the Qilin Ancient Emperor, who had just regained his footing, stared intently at Lin Hanzhou.
Clearly, the new emperor's strength far exceeded his expectations.
But now that things have come to this, a battle is unavoidable, and he has no choice but to show his true skills.
The aura of the Qilin Ancient Emperor erupted once more, no longer caring about the lifespan loss from attacking, and unleashed its imperial power to strike at Lin Hanzhou.
Lin Hanzhou showed no fear and, holding the lightning tribulation in his hand, once again went to meet it.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had already exchanged no less than a hundred blows.
Lin Hanzhou moved through the starry sky like a ghost, manipulating the laws of time at will.
"Bang!"
Lin Hanzhou kicked the Qilin Ancient Emperor hard in the chest.
"puff--"
The Qilin Ancient Emperor's sternum collapsed, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. His entire body flew out like a cannonball again, crashing into a sea of lightning.
"Too weak. You're not even worthy of making me take you seriously."
Lin Hanzhou strolled leisurely through the starry sky.
In his current prime, he is simply no match for the Qilin Ancient Emperor, a supreme being who has severed his own life force.
After that exchange, the once mighty Qilin Ancient Emperor, who once suppressed the universe, is now in a miserable state.
His chest caved in, his left arm was severed at the root, and half of his body was charred black by lightning. The blood of the ancient emperor was splattered all over this shattered star field.
On the other hand, look at Lin Hanzhou.
He was still dressed in black, not even a speck of dust on the hem of his clothes. His complexion was ruddy, and he was calm and composed. Even his breathing rhythm remained unchanged.
It was an arrogant attitude that said, "I haven't even used my strength yet, and you've already fallen."
"All those beneath the emperor are but ants"—that's a well-said saying.
Lin Hanzhou held the dripping Thunder Tribulation Sword upside down, coldly looking down at the Qilin Ancient Emperor who lay sprawled in the starry sky like a dead dog.
"But even among emperors, there is a world of difference. Someone like you, who can only hide in the gutter and eke out a living, isn't even worthy of carrying my shoes!"
"It's over. Old dog."
……
"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."
In the ruins of the starry sky, the ancient Qilin Emperor coughed violently.
He struggled to support his broken body with his only remaining hand, each breath bringing out mouthfuls of black blood.
His eyes were filled with extreme terror, shame, and a kind of madness driven to desperation.
The gap is too big.
It was so big that it made him feel desperate.
He originally thought that although the other party had just attained enlightenment, as a former overlord of the ancient times, even without reaching the ultimate sublimation, he could at least fight the other party to a standstill, or even force the other party to retreat, thanks to his rich combat experience and supreme lineage.
But he was wrong, terribly wrong.
This guy is no ordinary new emperor at all.
Among the many newly enlightened emperors, they were almost among the most outstanding.
This kind of abnormality, let alone his current state, would be an extremely fierce and arduous battle even in his prime.
Now, he is merely a stepping stone used by the other side to test their swords.
