Chapter 648 The ten-thousand-year deadline has arrived!
As the supreme beings of the various forbidden zones of life once again fell into slumber, the boundless turmoil caused by Lin Hanzhou finally subsided quietly in the depths of the universe.
No one dared to truly provoke an ancient emperor who was suspected to still be alive and who was most skilled at "fishing and scheming."
In this eerie and absolute silence, time began to flow silently.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, forty-five years have passed in the ebb and flow of life.
Forty-five years is but a fleeting moment for a powerful cultivator who often secludes himself for hundreds or thousands of years.
But on some planet in the universe that has no spiritual energy, this period of time would be enough for the country called the United States to have nine presidents in quick succession.
In the forty-five years since then, the vast universe has not been completely disrupted by the commotion that Lin Hanzhou created back then.
The cultivation world still has its own set of operating rules.
The once dominant behemoth, the Purple Cloud Holy Land, perished in the vast universe, ultimately like a wave in the ocean. After causing a brief but significant upheaval, it was quickly and ruthlessly overshadowed by the rise of new geniuses and the changing of the guard.
The world only knows that the Purple Cloud Holy Land mysteriously disappeared during its relocation, and their supreme imperial weapon also lost all traces, but no one dares to investigate further.
For nearly half a century, Lin Hanzhou, the mastermind behind everything, remained hidden on the Nine Heavens Continent.
Through the system's cultivation feedback, he naturally took that final step to surpass the Great Sage and truly reached the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm.
At this moment, all that remained for him to regain the throne of the emperor was the final struggle for the imperial path.
He had been waiting for an opportunity.
An opportunity that all the hidden old monsters in the entire universe could not refuse and had to emerge.
On this day, the world, which had been peaceful for forty-five years, suddenly underwent a dramatic change without warning.
Click—!
A crisp, shattering sound suddenly rang in the ears of all living beings in the universe.
The sound was like some supreme shackle in the dark being shattered.
"This is……"
At this moment, countless ancient and powerful figures from immortal families and emperors of immortal dynasties suddenly opened their eyes, staring at the sky with horror on their faces.
The ten-thousand-year term has expired!
Ten thousand years ago, the previous supreme emperor who ruled the world passed away. The laws and imperial might he left behind suppressed this universe for ten thousand years.
During these ten thousand years, the myriad paths were suspended high, and destiny retreated. No one could touch that ethereal Emperor Realm, and even breaking through to Quasi-Emperor became extremely difficult.
And now, with that crisp shattering sound, the last remaining imperial might left by the previous emperor in the world has completely vanished!
This signifies that the old era has been completely buried in the dust of history.
And at this moment, a new round of great struggle, a golden age, has officially begun!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, throughout the universe, in the deepest parts of star fields, hidden worlds, and even the most immortal lineages that had been dormant for countless ages, terrifying auras that had been sleeping for thousands of years began to rise wildly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
That's the aura of a quasi-emperor!
They had waited for this moment for far too long.
Some people were already quasi-emperors ten thousand years ago. In order to avoid the suppression of the previous emperor's power, they did not hesitate to seal themselves in the divine source, enduring endless loneliness and darkness, just so that on the day when the ten thousand years are up, they can emerge and compete for that one and only chance to become an emperor!
Above the sky, a colorful lightning tribulation began to form, a manifestation of the heavens and earth as countless ancient and powerful beings broke free from their seals.
It was less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
The sky above the Nine Heavens Continent was completely filled with divine light and boundless strange phenomena.
One after another, quasi-emperors, exuding overwhelming power and capable of making galaxies tremble with every move, tore through the void, traversed countless light-years, and gathered on the Nine Heavens Continent like a sky full of stars.
Among these quasi-emperors was an ancient demon lord who was six zhang tall and exuded a savage aura.
There is an immortal swordsman ancestor who rides a flying sword and whose sword energy tears through the void.
There were also elderly monks, their bodies bathed in Buddha's light, their appearance dignified and solemn...
With so many quasi-emperors gathered in one place, the sight of a rainbow piercing the sun and laws intertwining was extremely magnificent, making it difficult for the beings below to even breathe.
..........
At this moment, atop a nameless, solitary peak that soars into the clouds on the Nine Heavens Continent.
Lin Hanzhou wore a simple black robe, his hands behind his back, fluttering in the wind.
He tilted his head slightly, his deep, star-like eyes reflecting the hundreds of arrogant quasi-emperors in the sky, a faint sigh flashing in the depths of his eyes.
"This scene is so familiar..."
Lin Hanzhou murmured something under his breath.
His memory seemed to be pulled back to more than 200,000 years ago in that instant.
At that time, he also stood under the shade of the tree, watching those quasi-emperors in the sky, going crazy for that elusive imperial throne.
How similar is the grandeur of that time to today?
A hundred quasi-emperors stormed the imperial pass, a thousand sails raced, and ten thousand men vied for supremacy.
But what was the final result?
Of those more than one hundred exceptionally talented quasi-emperors who stood out in their era, ninety-nine percent ultimately turned into piles of white bones on the road to the Imperial Pass.
History always repeats itself.
Lin Hanzhou couldn't help but sigh.
However, this time, he didn't intend to remain a silent spectator.
He will forcefully claim the destiny of this life upon himself with the most overwhelming force!
"It's time to go and meet these fellow Daoists of this era."
Lin Hanzhou smiled faintly, his figure swaying slightly.
Without even a ripple in the void, his figure had mysteriously vanished from the mountaintop.
When Lin Hanzhou reappeared, he had already traversed billions of miles of void and stood steadily in the vast universe outside the Nine Heavens Continent.
At this moment, the starry sky had already been completely occupied by the endless stream of quasi-emperor level experts who had crossed over from other realms.
The intense pressure of a quasi-emperor raged and collided in the vacuum, directly crushing some of the surrounding dead meteorites into dust.
These powerful figures, standing at the pinnacle of humanity, each stood alone in different locations, maintaining an absolutely wary distance from one another, their eyes filled with apprehension and coldness.
Lin Hanzhou's figure silently slipped into the ranks of these quasi-emperors who were preparing to break through the Imperial Pass.
Upon seeing Lin Hanzhou suddenly cross the void and arrive, the quasi-emperors who were relatively close to him merely glanced at him indifferently.
A quasi-emperor of the ancient demon race, whose body was covered in golden scales and exuded terrifying physical aura, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes after seeing Lin Hanzhou's unusually young face, but then he snorted coldly and disdainfully withdrew his gaze.
At this critical juncture, no one wants to prematurely provoke conflict and thus harm themselves.
In their view, while having another competitor is certainly annoying, once they reach the Imperial Pass, what ultimately matters is their own strength and power.
A seemingly insignificant quasi-emperor is not worth their excessive attention.
