Chapter 472 Aren't I robbing right now?
"Tsk, the mighty Nine Netherworld Sea is actually this poor?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Hanzhou immediately stopped smiling, his face contorted with disgust, giving off a look of utter disappointment, as if he had "entered a counterfeit goods market."
He sighed dramatically, lowered his head, and rested one hand on his forehead, seemingly lost in deep thought.
After a long while, he seemed to have made some huge concession, raised his head again, and said with great reluctance.
"Alright, alright, since you're so poor, I'll just take the loss and back down."
"Alright then. Everyone here, including those old men pretending to be dead in their underwater coffins, each of you, give me half of all your treasured possessions."
Lin Hanzhou spread his hands and looked at the Lord of the Underworld Sea with a smile.
"Consider it an apology. Pay the protection money... oh no, pay the apology, and I'll turn around and leave, I won't bother you anymore. Is that reasonable enough?"
"boom!"
At this moment, the Lord of the Underworld's long-suppressed rage finally erupted like a volcano.
Half of the treasure?!
For these supreme beings of the forbidden zones, those treasures and divine sources are their very lifeline for surviving in this world!
Giving up half is equivalent to draining half of their lifespan and resources! This is even more painful than killing them!
"Lin Hanzhou! Do you really think I'm made of clay?!"
The Lord of the Underworld could no longer maintain his mortal-like grandmaster demeanor. His eyes turned bloodshot, and his deathly aura surged into the sky like boiling magma. He pointed at Lin Hanzhou's nose and roared angrily.
"Half of the resources? With your qualifications, why don't you just rob us?!"
Faced with the Lord of the Underworld's fury, the disdain on Lin Hanzhou's face vanished instantly.
Instead, it is replaced by an extreme arrogance and domineering nature.
He slowly drew the Thunder Tribulation Sword from his waist, its blade pointing directly at the Lord of the Underworld's furious face.
On the blade, the silver laws of time intertwined with the pitch-black lightning of destruction, emitting a sword cry that sent shivers down one's spine.
Lin Hanzhou tilted his head, looked at the other person, and asked in return with an extremely arrogant smile.
"Old Deng, are you blind?"
"Aren't I robbing people right now?"
Lin Hanzhou's extremely arrogant words were like the last spark, completely igniting the powder keg in the heart of the Lord of the Underworld.
"Arrogant brat! How dare you presume that there are no heroes in the Underworld Sea!"
The Lord of the Underworld's once calm and weathered face was now completely distorted.
As a supreme being who has survived from the age of mythology to the present day, he has overseen the rise and fall of countless eras.
Even though he was an unparalleled emperor in his time.
But now, a newly ascended emperor who has only attained enlightenment a mere thousand years ago has single-handedly stormed into his lair, pointing his finger at him and demanding to seize half of his foundation!
This isn't just a slap in the face; it's throwing his dignity to the ground and then crushing it underfoot!
Without uttering any unnecessary words, the Lord of the Underworld raised his pale, paper-white right hand and swiftly grabbed at the void with his five fingers.
In an instant, the laws of the entire Nine Nether Sea went completely berserk!
"Waaaaah..."
The eerie wailing of billions of gods and demons echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
That was the resentment of death that had accumulated in this forbidden zone for countless eras.
"Nine Nether Rivers, strip away all paths!"
The Lord of the Underworld roared to the sky, his hair dancing wildly.
With his roar, the endless, dark green seawater rapidly converged in the void, eventually transforming into a vast river tens of thousands of miles wide!
Within this River of the Netherworld, countless ancient deities' corpses, shattered fragments of the world, and countless, hundreds of millions of vengeful spirits float and sink.
The river water exudes an extreme corrosive power that can even corrode the surrounding void laws, leaving them riddled with holes.
"Die!"
The Lord of the Underworld waved his sleeve.
The Netherworld River, suspended in the sky, swept towards Lin Hanzhou with terrifying power capable of annihilating countless worlds!
Wherever the River Styx passes, time stands still, space collapses, and everything tangible and intangible is forcibly transformed into the purest form of death.
Facing the roar of the Styx River, which seemed to drag the entire universe into the deepest hell, Lin Hanzhou's figure did not even sway in the slightest.
He stood silently in the void, his black robes fluttering in the storm of destruction.
His gaze was deep and calm, as if he were watching a shoddy fireworks display.
"You've chosen the wrong opponent to play with the river in front of me."
Lin Hanzhou's lips curled up slightly, forming a mocking arc.
He was well prepared for this devastating blow.
He slowly raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers joined together, and made a light, sweeping motion from top to bottom towards the empty space in front of him.
"Splash—"
It was accompanied by a sound of water that was extremely crisp and melodious, yet seemed to strike directly into the depths of the souls of all beings.
A vast and powerful law, more ancient than death and more boundless than the abyss, poured out from Lin Hanzhou's fingertips!
That is... the law of time!
In an instant, all the colors in the world were erased.
Before Lin Hanzhou, the void was like a curtain cut open by a sharp blade, and a vast river radiating a dazzling silver-white light suddenly appeared!
Time flows like a river!
Unlike the filthy River of the Underworld, filled with death and resentment, the illusory image of the River of Time summoned by Lin Hanzhou was clear and transparent.
If you look closely, you will find that every drop of water in that long river is the complete journey of a vibrant life from birth to death; every wave is the epic of a star from birth to collapse.
It carries no murderous intent, nor any negative emotions; it simply represents an absolute rule.
That is the "passage of time" that even the universe itself cannot defy!
"go."
Lin Hanzhou's lips twitched slightly, and he uttered a single syllable.
"boom--!!!"
The next instant, the silvery-white River of Time and the dark green River of the Underworld collided violently in the sky above the Nine Nether Sea!
There was no deafening explosion, nor any dazzling, blinding light.
At the core of the collision between the two laws, an extremely strange state of "absolute stillness" appeared.
That's the law of the underworld and the law of time canceling each other out at the most basic level!
The eerie green aura of death attempted to corrode the scales of time, while the silvery-white power of the years relentlessly washed away the marks of death.
However, this evenly matched contest lasted for less than half a breath.
The intense fluctuations of the laws were like a supernova explosion, sweeping outwards from all directions of the entire Nine Nether Sea at a terrifying speed exceeding the speed of light!
