Chapter 457 Fleeting Opportunities
Lin Hanzhou's eyes burned with fighting spirit.
"Qilin Ancient Emperor, you are indeed a worthy opponent! But today, you are destined to pay the price for your sneak attack!"
He suddenly activated the laws of time, and the River of Time fully materialized, stretching across the vast starry sky.
The power of time surged forth like a tide, accelerating and halting—two great time-related supernatural powers were unleashed simultaneously!
The Thunder Tribulation Sword resonated with the River of Time, unleashing an unprecedentedly dazzling sword light. With that single strike, it severed the sea of lightning surrounding the Ancient Qilin Emperor!
Snap! Snap!
The sword light grazed the chest of the Qilin Ancient Emperor, leaving a deep wound that exposed bone, but his body healed instantly.
He thrust out a spear with his other hand, and a world-destroying lightning pillar descended from the sky, striking directly at Lin Hanzhou's crown chakra!
Lin Hanzhou's figure blurred, and the acceleration of time made him instantly appear behind the Qilin Ancient Emperor, with the tip of the Thunder Tribulation Sword pointing directly at the opponent's back.
Another violent collision!
The star field completely collapsed, turning into a pure chaotic void.
Countless stars were completely annihilated, and even the Milky Way was shattered into pieces.
The aftershocks spread again, this time even reaching more than ten more star systems in the distance.
The beings of the universe felt that terrifying fluctuation once again, and some wept with joy.
"The new emperor...is the new emperor gaining the upper hand?!"
Some people whispered in fear.
"If the ancient emperor wins, the dark turmoil of ancient history may also descend..."
The divine senses of the supreme beings in the forbidden zone became even more excited.
"Fight! Keep fighting! Old man Qilin, don't let me down!"
The great battle continued.
During the tenth collision, the Ancient Emperor of Qilin unleashed his ultimate move – the True Form of the Qilin Thunder Emperor. His body transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-tall thunder Qilin, roaring as it inhaled and exhaled the essence of thunder, attempting to swallow Lin Hanzhou whole.
In Lin Hanzhou's hand, the lightning tribulation transformed into countless sword shadows, each sword carrying the power of time, peeling away the scales of the lightning unicorn one by one!
"Hahaha...what a new emperor!"
The Qilin Ancient Emperor's maniacal laughter carried a hint of despair, yet also a sense of relief.
Time, having reached its zenith, is passing, but he has no regrets.
Lin Hanzhou fought with increasing ferocity, unleashing the Law of Time upon his opponent as if it were free.
Another collision, and the starry sky was completely annihilated.
The two figures intertwined in the chaos, and the collision of thunder and time shone with the most brilliant light.
The Qilin Ancient Emperor's spear swept across, and eighty-one world-destroying lightning pillars crashed down from different dimensions, each containing his supreme will to rule the era.
Lin Hanzhou reversed the flow of time, causing the lightning pillars to freeze in mid-air for three breaths. Then, with a flick of the Thunder Tribulation Sword, all the lightning rebounded back to the Qilin Ancient Emperor himself!
The Qilin Ancient Emperor groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, yet he burst into laughter.
"Great move! Let's try again!"
The Qilin Ancient Emperor unleashed the "Thunder Emperor's Strike," concentrating all his essence, energy, and spirit into his spear, transforming it into a bolt of lightning that pierced through the ages.
Lin Hanzhou used "A Moment in Time" to accelerate his own time a thousand times, and before the opponent's attack arrived, he unleashed three thousand six hundred sword strikes in succession, each strike hitting the same spot and obliterating the lightning!
The two figures flickered continuously in the starry sky, the sound of their collision was like the booming of heavenly drums, and the aftershocks of the collision of laws turned into colorful light rain, which fell all over the universe.
Countless cultivators seized this opportunity, and some even achieved sudden enlightenment and broke through their cultivation levels!
Lin Hanzhou couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The opponent's strength after reaching its ultimate sublimation was indeed far beyond his imagination; it was much stronger than the ninth-tier expert he had killed on Blue Star.
However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense.
The emperors and ancient rulers of this world are all top geniuses who have fought their way out from countless prodigies.
Whether it's combat experience or mastery of the laws, their abilities far surpass those of ordinary people.
In this situation, those ninth-rank cultivators on Blue Star who can advance to the next level once their cultivation reaches a certain point are naturally incomparable to these people.
The ancient emperor of Qilin trembled inwardly.
This child's talent is simply unprecedented!
He fought me to this extent right after becoming an Emperor, even after I had reached the pinnacle of my cultivation. If I were to allow him to stabilize his cultivation level...
Even at my peak, I probably wouldn't be a match for him.
The Ancient Emperor of Qilin couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He knew that the outcome of this battle was already decided.
Just as he had expected, the battle did not last long.
While the ultimate sublimation could allow the Qilin Ancient Emperor to briefly return to his peak, it was, after all, a forbidden method that involved burning the essence of life and forcibly reconnecting the severed laws of the Great Dao.
In just a few dozen breaths, the Qilin Ancient Emperor was the first to feel the uncontrollable weakness within his body.
His Thunder Laws should have been as vast and boundless as the ocean, but now, every time he activated them, it felt as if invisible shackles were pulling at him.
The area of the Thunder Sea was quietly shrinking. The Thunder Dragon, which could originally devour galaxies, was now only a few hundred feet long, and its roar had become weak and feeble.
The time for his ultimate ascension had not yet run out, but his strength had already receded like the tide.
This is the inevitable price paid for the excessive burning of the very essence of life, and no one can reverse it.
In contrast, Lin Hanzhou became increasingly spirited with each battle. The River of Time, under his control, had reached a level of unparalleled mastery.
The power of time moved with the ease of a fingertip, each strike slowing down and weakening the attacks of the Ancient Qilin Emperor, as if time itself was protecting him.
In Lin Hanzhou's eyes, the phantom of the river of time became clearer, a deeper understanding of the laws of time.
In another clash, Lin Hanzhou raised his Thunder Tribulation Sword high, and the River of Time surged forward.
With the power of time acceleration added to it, the sword strike seemed to stretch the time of the entire star field by tens of millions of times.
Before the Thunder Emperor's true form of the Qilin Ancient Emperor could be fully revealed, it was enveloped by the sword light.
The scales of the Thunder Kirin peeled off one by one, and its flesh and blood aged and withered rapidly under the accelerated passage of time.
"ah!!!"
The Qilin Ancient Emperor let out a painful yet defiant roar.
He forcefully unleashed his last bit of power, and the spear transformed into a bolt of destructive lightning, piercing straight for Lin Hanzhou's brow.
However, this thrust was forcibly stopped by the interference of the laws of time.
Lin Hanzhou flashed and appeared to his left. With a light flick of his Thunder Tribulation Sword, he severed the lightning along with the Qilin Ancient Emperor's left arm!
Blood fell like a colorful rain from the stars.
The Qilin Ancient Emperor staggered backward, dozens of terrifying wounds splitting open on his imperial body. The source of lightning overflowed wildly from the wounds, which could never be healed.
His aura had plummeted from its peak to 60%... until it was less than 50%!
Now, the Qilin Ancient Emperor's Law of Thunder is completely unable to contend with Lin Hanzhou.
As time flowed by, the sea of lightning surrounding him was completely dissolved.
The lightning tribulation sword light fell like raindrops, each strike hitting the Qilin Ancient Emperor with perfect precision.
The Qilin Ancient Emperor was severely injured. His spear flew out of his hand and crashed heavily into the void, emitting a mournful cry.
He knelt in the chaotic starry sky, his black hair disheveled, his imperial armor shattered, and his chest stained with blood.
However, there was no fear on his face, only a calm that seemed to have seen through the ways of the world.
