Chapter 658 The Emperor's Tribulation Descends
Upon hearing this, the old monk standing there trembled violently.
Without any hesitation, not even for half a second, a bitter smile, more painful than crying, immediately appeared on his weathered, wrinkled face.
The old monk quickly put his hands together, bowed deeply to Lin Hanzhou, and said in a tone full of endless awe and fear that he had rejected the idea.
"Amitabha! This old monk would never dare to lay a hand on you, sir!"
"I was unaware of Your Excellency's divine power just now and offended you greatly. I hope Your Excellency will forgive me."
"This is fate... I will not contend with it! I will now withdraw!"
The old monk was truly a shrewd and experienced person. After witnessing the fate of the dragons and gods, he understood exactly what a terrifying monster the young man before him was.
Those who remain have no other fate but to become a wisp of ashes on this bronze ground.
The old monk took a deep breath, bowed again to Lin Hanzhou, and asked in a hoarse voice:
"May I ask your honorable name, sir? After returning to the temple, I will surely chant sutras and pray for your well-being day and night."
"Emperor Yan"
Lin Hanzhou's expression was indifferent as he uttered two words indifferently.
"Emperor Yan... Emperor Yan..."
The old monk lowered his head and murmured the name, his eyes filled with relief and reverence, and let out a long sigh.
"Upon seeing that Emperor Yan's path had come to naught, this old monk... is utterly convinced."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old monk didn't hesitate at all and prepared to leave the Tianxin Hall.
Tianxin Palace was clearly capable of withdrawing voluntarily.
However, to voluntarily withdraw, one must be out of combat; it is not possible to voluntarily withdraw during combat.
Moreover, choosing to withdraw is equivalent to forfeiting, meaning there is no possibility of entering the Imperial Pass in this lifetime.
To re-enter the Imperial Pass, one must wait for the next great era to begin.
As a dense burst of spatial law light enveloped him instantly, his figure vanished from the Heavenly Heart Hall with a whoosh, completely withdrawing from the battle for the Emperor's Path.
Seeing the old monk leave so decisively, the aloof woman beside him gave a bitter smile.
She looked at Lin Hanzhou, slowly took off the ancient zither she regarded as her life, bowed slightly to Lin Hanzhou in the manner of a cultivator, her voice full of defeat and bitterness.
"I am Gu Moqingshuang, the Qin Saintess. Today, I have witnessed the divine might of Emperor Yan and have come to know that such splendor exists in the world."
"This Heavenly Heart Mark should belong to you, sir. Qing Shuang... then departs."
After speaking, Mo Qingshuang took one last look at Lin Hanzhou's tall, godlike figure in black robes, a complex light flashing in her beautiful eyes.
She then decisively chose to withdraw, transforming into a white streak of light and instantly disappearing from the hall.
With the withdrawal of the two.
Inside the vast and magnificent Tianxin Hall, Lin Hanzhou was once again left alone.
…… ...
Outside, in the vast universe.
At this point, a week had passed since the opening of the Diguan Great Wall.
Outside the Imperial Pass Great Wall, despite the fact that several quasi-emperors had withdrawn from it in the past few days, the area remained bustling with activity.
Among them, the most anticipated are the four major forces: the Dragon Clan, the God Clan, Mahayana Buddhism, and the Qin Saint Valley.
Because their quasi-emperor level experts neither withdrew nor perished, it means that the other party has the qualifications to compete for the throne.
The emperor of this era will most likely be born among them, how could they not be excited?
However, before the Dragon Clan and the God Clan could rejoice for long, the faces of the two clans' leaders, the Great Saints, suddenly turned extremely ugly.
They had all clearly received intelligence from within their clan that the soul lamp of their quasi-emperor-level expert had gone out, indicating his death.
This undoubtedly dampened their expectations.
Upon learning this news, neither race chose to stay there. They left only a few members to gather intelligence, while the leading experts withdrew.
Upon seeing this, the cultivators from both the Mahayana Buddhism and Qin Sheng Valley factions were clearly pleased.
The fact that the two opposing clans withdrew from the competition most likely means that their quasi-emperor level experts had already perished in the Imperial Pass, thus losing their qualification to compete for the imperial throne.
For them, having two fewer competitors is undoubtedly a good thing.
But just then, something strange happened at the bronze gate of the Imperial Pass Great Wall.
Om-!
The enormous bronze gate slowly opened once more.
Two figures exuding the aura of peak Quasi-Emperors emerged from it.
A gaunt old monk, wearing a dark red, blood-stained robe, was none other than the old Buddha of Mahayana Buddhism.
Another aloof woman wore a plain white dress stained with large patches of blood, carrying a dark blue ancient zither on her back. She was also the previous master of Qin Sheng Valley.
The appearance of the two caused a stir among everyone present.
Clearly, both of them were quasi-emperors who chose to withdraw from the Imperial Pass, and were not the final victors.
They couldn't help but wonder who the ultimate victor would be in this life. Weren't all the quasi-emperors of the major powers either withdrawing or perishing inside?
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, the old monk spoke calmly.
"In this life, the Yan Emperor will be the ultimate victor, and the other will become the great emperor of this era."
These words shocked the entire audience.
Putting aside the fact that none of them had ever heard of the name Yan Emperor, the old monk's confident tone alone was enough to confuse them.
Even if the opponent is the ultimate victor, they may not necessarily be able to survive the tribulation and become an emperor, right?
After all, the quasi-emperors who can now pass through the Imperial Pass are all old relics from the previous era or even earlier.
The Heavenly Dao is always harsh on such ancient beings; the intensity of the Emperor's Tribulation is completely different from usual.
In this situation, who can guarantee that they will survive the imperial tribulation?
Before they could ponder further, the majestic Imperial Pass Great Wall was slowly dissipating like a mirage.
A figure in black robes hovered over the cosmos, emanating an aura of terrifying power. Centered on him, a tangible black storm swept outwards at speeds exceeding the speed of light.
The battle in the stars trembled, and the universe shook!
The meteorite belt within a radius of millions of miles was instantly reduced to the finest dust in the universe by the impact of this force.
Several nearby, desolate stars could not withstand the pressure of this quasi-emperor peak Dao power and directly disintegrated in space, exploding into brilliant fireworks!
In an instant, all the myriad paths of the universe resonated in unison! The laws of the universe trembled!
This was precisely the extraordinary phenomenon that occurred when a quasi-emperor attained the status of a Great Emperor.
Rumble—! ! !
The void where the young man in black stood was suddenly shrouded by a thick, ink-like cloud of tribulation.
The Emperor's Calamity has arrived!
