Chapter 492 The Immortal Path is Rugged? This Emperor will slay it with a single sword strike!
For the next ten thousand years, he remained a supreme deity, the Emperor of Time whom all living beings worshipped.
He can fully enjoy the highest honors in the world, and watch the flowers bloom and fade, and the world change.
Those cowardly old cowards in all those forbidden zones of life don't dare to utter a single fart.
When he has lived for more than 10,000 years and his life force is exhausted in his old age, he will come here again and make a desperate attempt like his predecessors.
This seems to be the safest and most beneficial option.
"Should I try again when I'm older...?"
Lin Hanzhou muttered to himself.
The thought had barely formed when it was ruthlessly crushed by an extremely domineering imperial will deep within him!
"absurd!"
Lin Hanzhou's eyes suddenly became incredibly sharp, like two unsheathed peerless immortal swords piercing through the chaos before him.
"Cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind."
"Waiting for old age? What does 'old age' mean?"
"Old age means the depletion of vital energy and blood, the decay of the physical body, and the clouding of one's Daoist heart! It means trembling in the shadow of death, like a gambler who has lost all his chips, making one last, irrational gamble with bloodshot eyes!"
"Those emperors who embarked on the path to immortality in their later years may seem tragic, but in reality, they were driven to the brink of death and had no choice but to fight like cornered beasts."
"They weren't at their peak when they embarked on this path. How could they possibly withstand the unpredictable dangers on the path to immortality when they were weakened and struggling to reach the gates of immortality?"
"But I am different."
Lin Hanzhou slowly clenched his fists.
He felt the surging imperial blood within his body, like a vast ocean, and the flawless Heavenly Heart Mark that suppressed all the myriad paths of the nine heavens and ten earths.
He was in the prime of his life, at the height of his power, strength, and arrogance!
His physical strength and his control over the laws of time are at the absolute peak of his life!
"Since there is a clear opportunity to become an immortal behind this door, and since I have already reached the edge of the bottleneck."
"Why should I wait until I'm old and blind, unable to lift a sword, before I fight to the death?"
"Rather than slowly waiting to die in that peaceful and prosperous world where I'm like a frog being boiled in lukewarm water, and having my spirit worn away."
"Why not take advantage of my current peak combat power and wreak havoc on this path to immortality, forging my own path to eternal life!"
At this moment, Lin Hanzhou's Dao heart was clearer than ever before!
The cultivation that had not progressed in five thousand years resonated with this invincible mindset of burning one's boats and forging ahead with no way down, in an extremely subtle way!
What did the threat of the forbidden zone mean? What did his concerns about the heavens and the earth mean? He cast all of that aside.
Even Jiang Ling has been properly arranged to be sealed into the Divine Source. In this vast universe, nothing can hinder the steps of this Emperor of Time!
He has absolute confidence in his abilities!
Even if all the predecessors are buried on this road, Lin Hanzhou will still be the first person to break the deadlock throughout the ages!
"The path to immortality is arduous? I, the Emperor, will cleave it with a single sword strike!"
Having figured all this out, all the doubts and hesitations on Lin Hanzhou's face vanished instantly.
He suddenly waved his long sleeves, creating a gust of wind that tore through the void.
He didn't glance at the cosmos behind him again.
Lin Hanzhou stood tall and proud, his eyes as resolute as iron, and strode towards the shattered void!
"Buzz—"
The moment Lin Hanzhou's toes crossed the shattered spatial barrier and truly stepped into that dim, yellowish space.
The laws of the entire universe's edge seemed to let out an extremely unwilling cry, before completely severing their connection with him.
One step outside and you're in two completely different worlds.
"despair."
Lin Hanzhou's black imperial boots landed steadily on the first step of the ten-thousand-foot-wide golden staircase.
In that extremely tiny instant when his foot touched the golden steps!
"BOOM!!!"
There were absolutely no signs, nor any indication of the formation's operation.
An indescribable, overwhelming pressure, like a tidal wave, appeared out of nowhere from the dim, yellowish void, relentlessly pressing down on Lin Hanzhou!
"Crunch... crunch..."
Under this terrifying pressure of the laws, the protective imperial light surrounding Lin Hanzhou actually emitted a piercing friction sound, similar to the twisting of metal.
Those wisps of void, powerful enough to easily shatter stars, appeared and disappeared around him, yet they could never get even a fraction closer to his body.
Lin Hanzhou stood on the first step, his body paused slightly, but he didn't sway even the slightest bit.
He felt the terrifying pressure acting on him, and a look of extreme surprise flashed in his deep eyes.
This pressure was not a fatal threat to him, the current emperor whose physical body had become a saint and whose blood and energy were at their absolute peak.
At most, it felt like an ordinary person wearing a down jacket. Although it was a bit clumsy, it was negligible and couldn't even make him gasp for breath.
But! A storm raged in Lin Hanzhou's heart!
Because he was well aware of the terrifying extent of this pressure!
He had just done a quick mental simulation.
If the person standing on this first step at this moment were not the Great Emperor, but a Quasi-Emperor who had cultivated for thousands of years.
Even those peak quasi-emperors who are only half a step away from proving the Dao and have already stepped into the realm of the ultimate Dao.
The moment that quasi-emperor stepped onto the first step, there was only one possible fate for him.
There was no blood splattering, no screams of agony.
Because the moment that immortal law descends, the Quasi-Emperor's proud Quasi-Emperor body, his indestructible Immortal Platform, and his vast, ocean-like divine consciousness will be crushed into the most primitive cosmic dust in a single second by this advanced law!
Not even a drop of blood or a trace of soul remained!
"What an overbearing path to immortality..."
Lin Hanzhou took a deep breath of the air filled with a hazy yellow mist, and couldn't help but gasp, letting out a heartfelt sigh.
"Truly, those who don't walk the path to immortality don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Those quasi-emperors and great saints in the outside world who fight tooth and nail for the opportunity to become immortal probably never dreamed that the lowest entry threshold for this path to immortality that they yearn for day and night is actually 'the body of a great emperor'!"
"Without becoming an emperor, one doesn't even qualify to embark on this path!"
No wonder.
No wonder that throughout history, only emperors and supreme beings have dared to venture onto this path.
Because when the quasi-emperor came here, he couldn't even stand on the first step and was instantly killed.
Feeling the terrifying "threshold" that was enough to crush a quasi-emperor, Lin Hanzhou's vigilance not only did not relax, but instead increased to the extreme.
If even the first step is so terrifying, then what kind of unparalleled killing intent, enough to cause the downfall of an emperor, is hidden deep within the dim yellow mist above this endless staircase?
What kind of beings did those ancient emperors and sovereigns of the previous generations encounter halfway through their journeys?
