Chapter 711 The Legendary Emperor of Yesteryear
But soon, Lin Hanzhou's surprise turned into a deeper shock and uncertainty.
What surprised him was not only the fact that this emperor from tens of millions of years ago was still alive.
What shocked him even more was the state of mind the other person was in!
As the current emperor, Lin Hanzhou had dealt with the old monsters in the forbidden zone of life several times. Just now, he even personally killed an ancient emperor who had reached the pinnacle of his spiritual cultivation.
Every supreme being who emerges from the forbidden zone carries with them an indelible aura of decay.
Those are the marks of death left on them by time, evidence of their betrayal of the natural order and their cowardly survival in the world.
They were like a group of living dead lying in their graves, greedily absorbing the life essence of the universe with every breath.
However, the white-robed youth who claimed to be the Emperor did not have the slightest aura of decay on him!
Although his vital energy was contained to the extreme, as if it did not exist, Lin Hanzhou's imperial intuition could clearly sense what a vigorous life force was hidden beneath the seemingly ordinary body of the other party!
It was a vibrant and perfect state, like the rising sun just emerging from the sea, without any sign of decline or decay!
This doesn't seem like a supreme being who has been lying dormant in a forbidden zone for millions of years!
"What exactly is going on?"
Lin Hanzhou's thoughts raced like lightning, with countless ideas colliding wildly in his mind.
"He's lived for over ten million years, why isn't there any mark of him cutting himself?"
"Did he use some incredibly powerful method to perfectly conceal himself and deceive the cosmic laws of annihilation? Or is it...?"
Lin Hanzhou thought of a possibility that would drive all the great emperors crazy.
"Or perhaps, over these long years, the other party has found an alternative method of achieving immortality in the mortal world without having to go through the path to immortality? Has he already become an immortal?!"
The moment this thought arose, even a great emperor like Lin Hanzhou, whose heart was as firm as iron, couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. However, he immediately rejected the conjecture.
If the other party has truly succeeded in attaining immortality, they should have been able to detect it when I used the guidance of fate before.
Since we cannot detect the other party, it means that the other party has not become an immortal.
The atmosphere inside the hall became incredibly oppressive, as if heavy molten lead had solidified.
Lin Hanzhou didn't delve into how the other party had managed to survive until now, because it was pointless.
Faced with such an ancient being, any attempt to probe is futile.
The heavy palace doors behind him slammed shut under the pull of magic, completely isolating him from all external perception.
Lin Hanzhou walked to the white jade steps and looked down at the Emperor who was rising from the sandalwood chair. The lightning and fire in his eyes gradually subsided and turned into a bottomless blackness.
"So, Your Majesty, you've gone to great lengths to bypass the numerous formations of my Flame Emperor Palace and grace me with your presence today. What is it you wish to do with me?"
Lin Hanzhou's voice was calm, without any deliberate reverence or the obsequiousness one would show when facing a senior.
He was merely surprised by the Emperor's arrival; to say he was afraid would be a joke.
The Emperor raised his head, his eyes, reflecting the chaotic scene, quietly looking at Lin Hanzhou.
Upon hearing Lin Hanzhou's neither humble nor arrogant question, the Emperor not only did not get angry, but instead let out a low and pleasant chuckle.
"hehe."
He picked up the celadon teacup again, brought it to his lips, and took a small sip. His movements were elegant and composed, as if he were the true master of the palace.
"Don't be nervous, Emperor Yan. I have come here today with no ill intentions."
The Emperor put down his teacup, crossed his hands on his knees, and replied in a gentle tone.
"If I had to pinpoint the purpose, it would probably just be out of curiosity."
"Curious?" Lin Hanzhou raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Yes, I'm just curious."
The Emperor nodded, his gaze sweeping over Lin Hanzhou from head to toe, a hint of undisguised admiration flashing in his eyes.
"Those old guys hiding in the forbidden zone were terrified by your act of killing the ancient god emperor on the edge of the universe today, and they kept me awake."
"I wanted to see what kind of arrogant successor this generation would produce."
"Having met you today, I am truly impressed by your extraordinary abilities. In less than ten thousand years since you attained enlightenment, you have managed to advance the Great Dao of Thunder and Fire to such an unprecedented level. You are quite remarkable."
The Emperor's praise did not bring Lin Hanzhou any joy.
Because he knew very well that this ancient monster, who had lived for millions of years, would never have made a special trip just to praise him.
as predicted.
The Emperor abruptly changed the subject, and a deep sense of nostalgia suddenly appeared in his originally gentle gaze, as if he had pierced through endless time and space to see a scene from the distant past.
"More importantly, your unruly temperament and the way you looked at me just now... reminded me of an old friend."
The Emperor's voice became somewhat ethereal, as if he were muttering to himself.
"He's a lot like you. Equally brilliant, equally fierce, and equally... ignorant of his own limitations."
Lin Hanzhou keenly noticed the unusual tone in the Emperor's words, and his curiosity was piqued.
To be called an "old friend" by the founder of the mythical era and to be praised as having "exquisite talent" and "unparalleled fighting spirit" is to be a rare figure in the entire history of ancient China.
"Oh? Who is this old friend you're talking about?"
Lin Hanzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice.
The Emperor suppressed the hint of reminiscence in his eyes, his gaze returning to its deep and cold intensity. He looked at Lin Hanzhou and slowly uttered four words:
"Emperor Hongyu".
boom!
The moment that name echoed in the hall, it was as if a thunderbolt exploded in Lin Hanzhou's mind, and countless fragments of memories from the past surged forth like a storm in his mind.
Lin Hanzhou had certainly heard of this emperor.
Because Emperor Hongyu was a true legend of the human race, an immortal beacon that stood at the end of the ancient era and illuminated the long night of eternity!
If the Emperor was the creator of the mythological era, then this Great Emperor Hongyu was the terminator of the Primordial Era, and also the great creator of the present "Primordial Era"!
Among the countless ancient books and secret texts that Lin Hanzhou had read, the records about the Great Emperor Hongyu were all filled with various incredible mythological elements.
