Chapter 686 I can only let my true form deal with you.
The voice carried a cold indifference that regarded all things as straw dogs, as if a god high in the heavens was looking down on ants on the ground.
"You are clearly just a cultivator at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, and you haven't even been able to break through that unconventional path to enlightenment. Yet you have such sharp eyes that you can see through the hidden source of the Longevity Saint Body in that kid named Qin Changqing."
"I must say, your ant-like perspective has surprised even me somewhat."
"but……"
The aged voice paused slightly, then its tone instantly turned chilling, carrying an undeniable domineering and greedy quality:
"The Eternal Life Body is a physique that is extremely rare throughout the ages. It is not something that a mere Quasi-Emperor like you can even dream of coveting."
"This is a 'great medicine' that I have painstakingly nurtured and cultivated in secret!"
These words had barely fallen when, before Lin Hanzhou's avatar had no time to react or think, the previously empty void layer in front of him was violently torn apart by hand from the outside, like a tattered cloth.
"Sizzle—"
With a piercing sound of the spatial crystal wall shattering, a figure shrouded in an impenetrable black mist slowly stepped out of the spatial rift like a ghost.
The newcomer was wearing an old and tattered wide black robe. The robe was made of neither gold nor silk, and was faintly embroidered with countless ferocious and twisted ghost patterns in dark red silk thread.
The hood of the black robe was pulled down very low, completely obscuring the person's face. Only two pairs of eyes, peering through the shadow of the hood, were fixed on Lin Hanzhou's avatar, which had completely concealed its aura.
His eyes were filled with arrogance, mockery, and an undisguised greed.
It wasn't like looking at a fellow being from the cultivation world at all, but rather like someone who had been starving for a long time eyeing a plate of unparalleled delicacies that had just been served, or a humanoid medicine that could greatly nourish him.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, a slight look of surprise finally flashed across Lin Hanzhou's avatar, who was standing still.
"I see……"
Lin Hanzhou's avatar pondered silently in his heart.
He had been wondering why Qin Changqing, though cautious and possessing a quasi-Emperor level treasure to conceal his aura, could not completely hide the extraordinary phenomena and primordial fluctuations caused by the awakening of the Longevity Saint Body.
It now appears that someone was secretly covering up the secret for Qin Changqing!
And the person who made the move in the shadows was, without a doubt, the black-robed old monster who had suddenly appeared before them.
"Treating exceptionally talented individuals with special physiques as 'great medicines' to be nurtured, and then harvested once their cultivation reaches a certain level and their essence is fully mature..."
"Such cruel and vicious methods could only have been used by ancient supreme beings who hid in forbidden zones of life, barely surviving, and who would stop at nothing to stay alive."
Lin Hanzhou's avatar instantly recognized the other party's identity.
At the same time, he finally understood why he had been secretly observing Qin Changqing in this star field for a whole year but had never discovered the existence of this black-robed old monster.
Because, although the cultivation aura of the black-robed man in front of him was deliberately suppressed, the extreme Dao law fluctuations that faintly surpassed the limit of the Quasi-Emperor were absolutely undeniable.
An unconventional path to enlightenment!
Or perhaps, this is a supreme incarnation possessing power comparable to an alternative path to enlightenment!
Lin Hanzhou's current avatar is, in essence, just a tool that his main body casually conjured up for errands and observations.
To outsiders, this avatar possesses terrifying cultivation at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, enough to roam freely in this star field.
However, although there is only a half-step difference between the peak of the Quasi-Emperor and the alternative path to enlightenment, it is as if there is an insurmountable chasm between them.
Without using the laws of the body and the ultimate imperial weapon, an avatar at the peak of the quasi-emperor level is indeed unable to easily see through a supreme being who has deliberately concealed his whereabouts, and is no match for this black-robed supreme being.
Seeing that Lin Hanzhou's avatar remained silent, the black-robed supreme being assumed that the other party was intimidated by the terrifying aura emanating from him and was too frightened to speak.
"Hehehe, why are you so quiet? Have you been terrified by my oppressive aura?"
The black-robed supreme being let out a piercing and unpleasant laugh. His hands, hidden in his wide sleeves, slowly emerged, and his ten withered fingers, like tree branches, were wrapped with strands of law chains that could easily corrode the void.
Instead of immediately attacking Qin Changqing, he observed Lin Hanzhou's avatar with great interest, his eyes gleaming with increasing greed.
"I am in a particularly good mood today."
The black-robed supreme ruler's voice carried an undisguised hint of smugness and arrogance.
"Originally, I only intended to check on the growth of the longevity elixir I was cultivating, and whether it was time to harvest it."
"I never expected that I would find such a huge surprise as you just as I stepped out the door."
"A cultivator who has reached the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm—your Quasi-Emperor laws, your pure blood and spirit refined over thousands of years—are all invaluable tonics to me!"
The black-robed supreme being became more and more excited as he spoke, and the black mist around him instantly surged, transforming into a vast black ocean that blotted out the sky.
Within that vast black ocean, countless cries of ghosts and wolves echoed through the void. A gigantic black ghost claw, formed from pure ultimate laws, suddenly emerged from the black mist and viciously grabbed at Lin Hanzhou's avatar.
Faced with this terrifying attack that would leave any quasi-emperor with nothing but their eyes closed and await death, Lin Hanzhou's avatar showed not the slightest panic or fear.
He simply stood there quietly, watching the black ghostly claw that was growing larger and larger in his pupils, a mocking and pitying smile slowly curving his lips.
"You're absolutely right, this is indeed a huge surprise."
Lin Hanzhou's avatar murmured softly, his tone full of amusement.
"My avatar is indeed no match for you."
"So... I have no choice but to let my true form deal with you."
"Um?!"
Upon hearing this, the black-robed supreme being, who was in a state of extreme excitement, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart. An unprecedented and intense sense of life-or-death crisis surged forth from the deepest part of his soul without warning.
At the critical moment when the black ghost claw was less than three feet away from the top of Lin Hanzhou's skull, a moment of life and death!
"Buzz—!"
At this moment, the entire void interlayer suddenly and without warning fell into an extremely bizarre state of absolute stillness!
The black-robed supreme being was horrified to discover that the black mist swirling around him, the ultimate laws flowing within his body, and even the speed of his thoughts were all being suppressed by an unparalleled power that surpassed all the myriad paths of the heavens.
"This...this is the Great Emperor?!"
The black-robed supreme being's eyes, hidden beneath his hood, suddenly widened.
A silent roar of terror erupted from the depths of his heart.
As an ancient supreme being who once ruled an era and later resorted to any means to achieve immortality, he cut himself off and escaped into the forbidden zone of life. He knew all too well what this aura, which could instantly suppress all paths and make all things in the universe submit to it, truly represented.
That was the aura of the supreme ruler who belonged to this era, the only one to bear the mark of the Heavenly Heart and reign over the nine heavens and ten earths!
That's an aura that only the current emperor can possess!
