Chapter 561 Time Flows, Eras Change
In the dark side of the universe, although the other seven forbidden zones of life chose to live in seclusion, the few pairs of cold and greedy eyes deep within the forbidden zones never left the Heavenly Heart Mark.
They were watching this matter silently, like vultures lurking in the shadows, waiting for their prey to die.
These supreme beings didn't care whether the Taiyin Emperor was alive or dead.
What they really care about is Lin Hanzhou's life or death!
Once the Heavenly Heart Mark hanging high in the sky lets out a mournful cry, once news spreads that the Emperor of Time has died or is critically injured, they will not hesitate to tear through the void and pour out from their respective forbidden zones!
At that time, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, having lost the suppression of the current emperor, will completely become their hunting grounds.
They will launch an unprecedented super-dark upheaval, sweeping across billions of ancient life-bearing planets throughout the universe, frantically plundering the life essence of all living beings in order to compensate for their losses over the long years and prolong their wretched, sinful lives.
Time slipped away little by little in this stalemate, where everyone harbored their own thoughts and the situation was unpredictable.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed.
For ordinary people, a hundred years is the span of several generations of birth, aging, sickness, and death—a long cycle.
If this happened in the United States, it could replace twenty presidents.
The game of power and worldly prosperity changed countless times in that short period of time. Countless heroes turned to dust, and countless dynasties and empires rose and fell.
However, for the vast and boundless world of cultivation, for those cultivators who often seclude themselves for thousands of years, especially for those high-ranking emperors and supreme beings, a hundred years is nothing more than an insignificant ripple in the long river of life, nothing more than a fleeting moment in the blink of an eye.
However, even in this century, which is neither long nor short, there has been no movement whatsoever in the desolate northern star field where the Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum is located!
There was neither the exhilarating news of the Emperor of Time returning in triumph, carrying the head of the Empress of Taiyin and stepping through a rain of blood; nor the shocking phenomenon of the Taiyin Mausoleum being cleaved open by the Emperor's sword and completely destroyed.
That void was like a bottomless black hole that could devour everything, burying all secrets deep within.
All living beings in the universe were very puzzled.
Even the most experienced and senior cultivators were completely baffled at this moment.
While battles at the level of emperors may indeed last a long time, it would be far too absurd for a hundred years to have no clear victor.
Moreover, Lin Hanzhou had entered the heart of the Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum, which was their home turf.
In such a desperate situation where the laws are suppressed and powerful enemies surround you, the battle must have been extremely fierce and fast-paced. How could it have lasted for a whole hundred years without any sound?
This eerie silence not only unsettled the lower-level cultivators, but also made the quasi-emperors, who were hiding deep within the various holy lands of the universe and whose lifespans were nearing their end, restless.
These elderly quasi-emperors, with one foot already in their coffins, had spent their entire lives pursuing the pinnacle of the imperial path.
For them, if they could witness a world-shaking battle between the current emperor and the supreme ruler of the forbidden zone before they died, and observe the collision and interweaving of the ultimate laws, even if they died on the spot, they would have no regrets.
Moreover, if the Great Emperor were to actually kill the Supreme Being, they might be able to find a few drops of the Supreme Being's essence blood, or fragments of a broken imperial weapon, thus gaining the supreme opportunity to extend their lifespan.
Thus, over the course of this century, there were no shortage of quasi-emperors with gray hair and an aura of decay, who, with their last breath, traversed the endless galaxy and rushed one after another to the desolate star field in the far north.
They wanted to venture deep into that void, to force their way into the Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum to find out what was going on, even if it was just to catch a glimpse of the battle from afar.
However, reality is cruel enough to make one despair.
When these quasi-emperors finally arrived at that star field after exhausting all their efforts, they were astonished to find that they could not find the entrance to the forbidden zone at all!
The void looked unremarkable, with nothing but cold meteorites and dim stardust.
No matter how these quasi-emperors used all sorts of all-powerful pupil techniques, unleashed all sorts of supreme magical treasures for divination, or even burned their lifespans to forcibly sense it, they could not detect even the slightest spatial fluctuation in the Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum.
These forbidden zones of life have been able to survive from ancient times to the present day, avoiding one catastrophe after another, all thanks to their heaven-defying concealment methods at the level of emperors.
That was a heaven-deceiving array jointly set up by ancient emperors throughout history. Not to mention quasi-emperors, even if a true emperor came, without precise coordinates and the method to activate it, he could only sigh at the empty air.
Quasi-Emperor cultivators were naturally impossible to find, and could only wander helplessly in the starry sky, eventually passing away regretfully on the cold meteorite, turning into skeletons.
Meanwhile, in the major no-life zones, all remained inactive.
The supreme beings in those seven forbidden zones naturally have the ability to see through the hidden formation of the Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum, and also the ability to forcibly tear through space to enter the forbidden zones and find out what's going on.
However, no one was willing to take that risk.
These ancient monsters who have lived for countless eras, which one of them wasn't shrewd to the core and feared life to an appalling degree?
The reason they cut themselves and hid in the forbidden zone was to survive and wait for the elusive path to immortality to open.
In their view, the current Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum is no different from the legendary dragon's den and tiger's lair!
Emperor Guangyin, Lin Hanzhou, was a ruthless and unparalleled figure.
Furthermore, within the Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum, six ancient supreme beings of the same level are lurking.
If these seven supreme beings of the extreme realm were to go berserk inside, the place would surely have already been transformed into an absolute death zone where even the Great Dao would be obliterated!
The turbulent currents of various ultimate laws, the destructive divine light generated by the collision of imperial weapons, and even the terrifying energy from the self-destruction of the supreme being before death filled every corner of the imperial mausoleum.
If these supreme beings from other forbidden zones were to rashly rush in at this moment, they would not only gain no benefit, but would also be immediately drawn into this terrifying melee.
Their already incomplete origins simply could not withstand this level of undeserved disaster.
Even if they were once the rulers of the universe, there is a very high probability that they would perish on the spot if they went in now.
Nobody goes looking for death.
For these supreme beings, living is more important than anything else.
Since the Heavenly Heart Mark is still there, it means that Lin Hanzhou is not dead.
Since Lin Hanzhou is not dead, they will absolutely not go out and risk trouble.
Thus, the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths maintained an extremely bizarre and oppressive balance.
The rise and fall of mortal kingdoms, and the open and covert struggles among cultivator sects.
One generation after another of geniuses emerged, but because the Heavenly Mark already had an owner and the Great Emperor still existed, they were unable to take that final step and could only live with regret for the rest of their lives.
