Chapter 688: If you only steal by day, how can you guard against thieves by day?
The black-robed supreme being cursed wildly in his heart, an unprecedented sense of rage and humiliation surging into his heart.
If anyone else dared to humiliate him like that, he would absolutely risk his life without hesitation, even if it meant mutual destruction, to tear the other person to pieces.
However, facing the Emperor Yan, Lin Hanzhou, who was in his prime, with blood and energy like a dragon, and whose fighting power was enough to sweep away all enemies in the heavens and the earth, no matter how much anger and humiliation he felt, no matter how furious he was, he could only swallow his anger back down.
The black-robed supreme ruler took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart.
He knew that he most likely couldn't save this incarnation.
But he had to find a way to keep the Yan Emperor in check, at least to ensure that his true self, who was hiding in the forbidden zone of life, would not be implicated.
So he tried to make his voice sound calmer, but the slight tremor in his tone still betrayed his inner cowardice.
"Emperor Yan... Emperor Yan..."
The black-robed supreme being swallowed hard and spoke with difficulty.
"Between us, there are no past grievances, no present animosity, and no irreconcilable differences, are there any unresolved grudges?"
"If you take a fancy to that Longevity Body, you can simply take it with you."
"I... no, I promise I will never interfere again. Consider this great herb my gift to Emperor Yan."
Seeing Lin Hanzhou still looking at him expressionlessly, with even a hint of pity in his eyes as he looked at a dead man, the black-robed supreme being felt a strong sense of unease.
He gritted his teeth and continued speaking loudly.
"Emperor Yan! Do you really intend to slaughter me for the sake of a mere, still-developing Immortal Body?"
"Don't push your luck! I admit that this avatar of mine is no match for you, but my true self is a supreme being who has survived three lifetimes since the primordial era! My foundation is far beyond your imagination!"
"If you truly push me to the brink, forcing me to sacrifice everything to achieve ultimate sublimation and break free from my seal, to perish together with you in this desolate cosmic wilderness, then I..."
"Noisy."
However, before the black-robed supreme could finish his threatening and intimidating words, Lin Hanzhou abruptly interrupted him with an extremely cold voice.
"A piece of trash who can only eke out a living by severing his own life and absorbing the essence of all living beings dares to spout nonsense before me, the Emperor, and talk about mutual destruction?"
Lin Hanzhou's eyes were filled with undisguised contempt and disgust.
"Rest in peace. Your true self is waiting in the forbidden area, having cleaned his neck. I will be there to find him soon."
Lin Hanzhou calmly pronounced the other party's death sentence.
The moment the words fell.
boom!
No one saw Lin Hanzhou make any complicated movements. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a terrifying power that could burn down all the worlds and even melt the laws of the Great Dao erupted from his body in an instant!
"No—! Emperor Yan, you will die a horrible death!! I will wait for you in the forbidden zone, and I will tear you apart..."
Amidst the black-robed supreme being's agonizing screams filled with despair and resentment.
Vast swathes of crimson-gold holy fire, mixed with world-destroying purple heavenly punishment lightning, like a bursting dam of a galaxy, instantly engulfed the black-robed supreme avatar that was imprisoned in mid-air!
Flames soared, and thunder roared.
Amidst the interplay of lightning and fire, the void was burned into an absolute vacuum.
This was no ordinary fire and lightning, but an unparalleled offensive technique containing the most advanced imperial laws of Lin Hanzhou.
Faced with this absolute power, the supreme avatar, possessing strength comparable to an alternative path to enlightenment, had no power to resist whatsoever.
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
Less than three breaths had passed.
As the crimson-gold holy fire and purple lightning slowly dissipated into the void, there was no trace of the black-robed supreme being left in the original place.
That arrogant supreme incarnation had been burned to ashes by Lin Hanzhou's domineering and unparalleled lightning and fire laws.
Lin Hanzhou casually waved his hand, removing the void confinement that had been sealing off the surrounding area.
He stood quietly in place, his deep gaze fixed on the clump of black ash slowly dissipating in the void, and his brows furrowed slightly.
With his keen divine sense as an emperor, he had already thoroughly investigated the details of this incarnation.
This is not an ordinary magical avatar, but a special avatar made from precious materials.
It is precisely for this reason that this avatar possesses strength comparable to an alternative path to enlightenment.
"Tsk tsk tsk, to create such an avatar that can run errands for him in the outside world, that Three-Life Supreme must have emptied his coffin's savings, right?"
Thinking of this, Lin Hanzhou's eyes gradually became deep and cold, and a chilling killing intent quietly gathered in his eyes.
To cut weeds, you must remove them at the root.
This is Lin Hanzhou's wise saying, which explains how he has been able to make great strides in the cultivation world for so many years, survive to this day, and even become an emperor.
The black-robed supreme being had to expend such a massive amount of rare materials, and even went so far as to sever his own origin and divine soul, to create this unique avatar of enlightenment that he was so proud of.
Now, this avatar has been destroyed by him as casually as killing a chicken.
Such a loss would be a devastating blow to an old monster hiding in a forbidden zone of life, where resources are scarce and life can only be sustained by barely surviving.
The opponent must be furious in the penalty area right now, perhaps even hating him to the core.
"Given the twisted, vengeful nature of those supreme beings in forbidden zones, given the chance, they would be like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to leap out and bite me, or to retaliate against those around me."
Lin Hanzhou glanced down at the sect where Qin Changqing was located.
"Since this old man has already set his sights on Qin Changqing, the immortal saint, it's hard to guarantee that he won't have some hidden tricks up his sleeve."
"If we let him continue to live, it will undoubtedly pose a huge threat to my future plans."
"Instead of sitting idly by and waiting for the other side to plot revenge in the shadows, it's better to take the initiative and strike first!"
"If you can be a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?"
