Chapter 527 If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening.
"There's no road ahead... The entire area ahead is in this sea?!"
A surge of intense astonishment welled up in Lin Hanzhou's heart.
He moved with lightning speed, approaching the ocean with extreme caution.
Standing at the boundary between the void and the sea, Lin Hanzhou carefully examined the sea area in front of him.
The appearance of this seawater is really too ordinary.
It has a deep azure blue color, and the surface of the sea is even rippling with waves that look like they are being blown by a gentle breeze.
Occasionally, a few drops of seawater would splash up, reflecting a crystal-clear luster in the darkness.
There was no soaring malevolent aura, no blinding divine light, and no interwoven Dao patterns.
It looks, sounds, and even smells exactly like the oceans in the ordinary human world!
"If this godforsaken place weren't the end of the Immortal Path, I'd probably believe it was just an ordinary sea."
Lin Hanzhou mentally ranted and complained.
His intuition told him that in such an extremely abnormal place, the most ordinary and harmless things often hide the most deadly horrors!
"Never mind, let's try flying over there first. We can't just dive right in and swim, can we?"
Lin Hanzhou lightly tapped his toes in the void, his whole body turning into a blur, attempting to elevate his figure and fly directly over this boundless sea.
However, at the very instant that Lin Hanzhou's body crossed that invisible boundary and entered the airspace above this ocean!
"boom--!!!"
There was absolutely no sound, and no visible attack!
But Lin Hanzhou felt as if the entire mass of the whole universe had crashed down on him in that instant.
"What's going on?!"
Lin Hanzhou's expression changed drastically. He was horrified to discover that the vast Emperor Law within his body was instantly suppressed, as if a mouse had encountered a cat or some kind of natural enemy!
The power of the laws within his body stagnated, and his blood and qi were suppressed in his meridians, unable to flow!
His divine senses, his perceptions, and even his ability to fly were completely stripped away at this moment!
His proud Law of Time couldn't be used even a fraction of its power above this seemingly ordinary sea!
"Bang!"
Having lost all his extraordinary powers, Lin Hanzhou was like a falling mortal meteorite, unable to control his body, and fell heavily back into the void at the edge of the ocean.
"Cough cough..."
Lin Hanzhou stood up from the ground, looking somewhat disheveled. Although he was unharmed thanks to his Emperor's physical body, his eyes were filled with unprecedented shock and disbelief.
He stared intently at the seemingly calm and ordinary seawater before him.
"This...this isn't seawater at all!"
He finally understood.
Every drop of seawater in this ocean is formed from a celestial law that surpasses the upper limit of the laws of the Great Emperor.
That terrifying pressure that completely crushed his Emperor Law was not a hostile attack, but simply an absolute suppression of the Law dimension!
Just as mortals cannot look directly at the sun, and loaches cannot comprehend the majesty of a true dragon!
Lin Hanzhou suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with shock.
"To be able to suppress my laws to the point where I am as powerless as a mortal..."
"This sea was left behind by a supreme being at the True Immortal level, or even above!"
At the end of the celestial path, there is no magnificent Southern Heavenly Gate, nor the lingering celestial music guiding one to ascension.
Yes, there is only this one sea of despair, enough to drown any great emperor or ancient king.
Lin Hanzhou stood on the shore, like an insignificant speck of dust, facing the boundless sea that had stretched for millennia, and fell into a long, deathly silence.
At that moment, Lin Hanzhou's mind was like a lightning bolt piercing the night sky, instantly connecting all the strange and mysterious events along the way.
He finally understood why he had encountered so many mindless, sentient emperor corpses one after another in the ruins of this immortal path that should have led to the highest realm.
The truth lay right before his eyes.
Imagine those ancient emperors who once swept across the heavens and earth and suppressed the universe in one era after another. They tread on blood and bones, dragging their broken bodies, filled with a fervent hope for "immortality" and "ascension to immortality," and fought their way to the end of this path to immortality.
Then, they were overjoyed, thinking they were about to see the gate to immortality and be bathed in divine light.
What stood before them was a vast ocean of immortals, capable of instantly crushing their proud "Emperor Laws" into mortal dust!
They couldn't fly over it because the airspace above the sea was suppressed by an absolute dimensional law.
It cannot be broken because it is a substance belonging to the "Immortals". Even if an ultimate imperial weapon were to strike it, it probably wouldn't even cause a slightly larger ripple.
What utter despair!
Lin Hanzhou closed his eyes slightly.
He could almost travel through time and space to see the collapse of those once invincible figures standing on this shore.
Faced with this insurmountable chasm, some people were utterly devastated. Unable to accept this cruel reality, they could only turn away in despair, sit cross-legged on the ruins of the immortal path, and watch helplessly as their lifespans dried up and they turned into cold corpses amidst endless resentment and regret.
This is the origin of those spirit-possessed emperor corpses outside.
And what about other emperors with even more fiery tempers and more eccentric personalities?
If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening!
Lin Hanzhou could imagine their desperate screams.
Those ancient emperors who were unwilling to stop there must have forcibly jumped into this sea of immortals, attempting to cross it with their physical bodies!
But the result is obvious: once they enter the sea, their extraordinary cultivation will be instantly suppressed, turning them into ordinary mortals.
In this deep sea, where undercurrents surge and perhaps even unknown dangers lurk, the only outcome is drowning and leaving no trace of their bodies!
This sea is not a sea of guidance, but a graveyard where the dreams of emperors throughout the ages are buried.
Despite his feelings of regret, the harsh realities still confronted Lin Hanzhou.
How should he get through this?
Should we just follow the example of those stubborn ancient emperors and go swimming in the sea?
This is clearly a very bad idea, and could even be described as an extremely foolish and suicidal act.
Lin Hanzhou rejected the idea without hesitation.
Even if the seawater itself did not pose a real threat to him, the suppression from the immortal laws, which was like a dimensional reduction attack, was too ruthless.
Once he enters the sea, all his supernatural powers, magical treasures, and laws of time will become ineffective, and his combat strength will be completely reduced to zero.
In this immortal path ruin where even void behemoths can be bred, who dares to guarantee that there isn't some "immortal water monster" living in this sea that feeds on emperors?
If he encounters danger while in a state of having lost his cultivation, he won't even have a chance to escape; he will simply suffocate and die in the water.
Although he wasn't afraid of death, and even if he died here, he could use the system talent [Nine Reincarnations] to go to the next life, he absolutely couldn't go and die in vain.
He must find a way to cross this sea area safely while maintaining peak combat power.
