Chapter 556 The Secrets of the Immortal Tomb
However, this shock did not last long.
Deep within the Ziwei Divine Court and the Beidou Heavenly Court, the most senior supreme beings, after probing the lingering aura of that battle through secret methods, merely glanced at the ruins of the Tianqi Starfield with indifferent eyes from afar.
"This Emperor of Time is not only extremely powerful, but also a madman. He is not to be trifled with."
A cold and rational divine thought flashed through the void and disappeared.
The overwhelming pressure that had just risen from the Ziwei Divine Court and the Beidou Heavenly Court instantly receded like a tide.
The spacetime outside those two forbidden areas became disordered, and the concealment formation was activated once again.
Clearly, these two restricted areas had no intention of communicating with other restricted areas, nor did they want to get involved in this mess. They chose the most direct approach: to fall back into the deepest silence and pretend nothing had happened.
However, the other six forbidden zones of life did not immediately fall silent.
Several supreme beings from forbidden zones, their bodies shrouded in the decaying aura of time, were engaged in an anxious and solemn exchange through their invisible and supreme divine sense within the network of laws in the dark side of the universe.
Among them, the most panicked was the master of the [Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum]—the Taiyin Emperor.
At this very moment, in front of a frosty crystal coffin deep within the Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum, a graceful woman draped in a silver moonlight robe, her face veiled by a dense layer of Taiyin energy, paced anxiously back and forth in the void like an ant on a hot pan.
Her delicate body trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with undisguised fear and deep regret.
She truly regretted it! She regretted being so clever as to go and test the Emperor of Time!
Prior to this, she did indeed use a forbidden secret technique of the Taiyin lineage to peer into the Heavenly Heart Mark of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
From the mark, she indeed sensed that Lin Hanzhou's imperial origin was showing signs of great decline, and his lifespan seemed to be reduced to only one year.
She thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
If we can entice a foolish Supreme to test the waters in the outer star regions, we can not only find out Lin Hanzhou's true bottom line, but also gain more initiative for the Forbidden Zone before Lin Hanzhou passes away.
However, she never expected that even though Lin Hanzhou only had less than a year left to live, he was still a peerless tyrannosaurus that could tear apart all prey in an instant!
In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, that supreme being was completely reduced to ashes!
What the Taiyin Emperor fears most right now is that Lin Hanzhou will follow the clues and come knocking on his door.
If it were any other ordinary emperor, she would be wary, but she would never be so terrified.
After all, the Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum has a long history and profound heritage. Even if the Great Emperor launches a strong attack and she can't win, she can still defend it by relying on the formation.
Even if she survives until the emperor passes away in his later years, she will still be the ultimate winner.
But this Emperor of Time is a freak who doesn't play by the rules at all!
The Taiyin Emperor clearly remembered that when Lin Hanzhou had just become an Emperor, he was a ruthless person who had once single-handedly stormed the Nine Nether Sea for a trivial matter!
That's a truly ruthless character who dares to fight tooth and nail and turn the restricted area upside down!
Now that he has been making such provocative moves behind the scenes and causing the deaths of hundreds of millions of his people, given Lin Hanzhou's vengeful and domineering nature, a major war against the Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum is inevitable!
Upon realizing this, the Taiyin Emperor could no longer maintain the composure befitting a supreme ruler.
She frantically urged her divine sense, transforming it into urgent messages that continuously sent desperate pleas for help to the five forbidden zones of life: Undying Mountain, Nine Nether Sea, Bronze Tree Sea, Burial Immortal Island, and Devouring Demon Abyss.
"Fellow Daoists! Did you see that?! This Emperor of Time is going too far! He's leaving us no way out!"
"I admit that I made a mistake in testing you this time, but don't you all understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'?"
"He's already set his sights on my Taiyin Imperial Mausoleum. If I suffer a calamity, you will all be next! He wants to drag us all down with him before he dies!"
The divine sense of the Taiyin Emperor echoed hysterically above the various forbidden zones, carrying a kind of desperate madness.
"We must unite! No matter how strong he is, he is still just one person, and his lifespan is inevitably running out! As long as the six forbidden zones join forces, and more than a dozen supreme beings come out together, even if we have to sacrifice our lives, we can completely exhaust his last six months of lifespan!"
Seeing that the forbidden zones remained completely silent, the Taiyin Emperor gritted his teeth and revealed a terrifying secret that none of the supreme beings wanted to mention.
"What are you still hesitating for?! Have you all forgotten how the [Immortal Tomb] was destroyed back then?!"
Upon hearing this, a chilling wind, capable of freezing the soul, seemed to suddenly sweep through the divine network of the six forbidden zones.
All the supreme beings who were secretly eavesdropping felt a tremor in their hearts. A memory they had deliberately buried deep in the past years surfaced uncontrollably in their minds like a nightmare.
Immortal Tomb!
In today's world, everyone knows that there are nine forbidden zones for life.
Ordinary people, and even some holy leaders of great religions, regard these nine names as divine taboos, reciting them day and night, for fear of accidentally falling into their trap.
What the world doesn't know is that in this vast universe, there are actually only eight forbidden zones for life left, barely clinging to life!
The reason for this is that the Immortal Tomb, which was originally one of the nine forbidden zones and was said to be the burial place of the corpses of true immortals, was completely destroyed a million years ago in a glorious and brilliant era!
The one who destroyed that supreme forbidden zone was none other than the most legendary and amazing supreme emperor in human history—Emperor Hongyu!
That was a crazy era that would make any supreme being in the forbidden zone tremble with fear just thinking about it.
Emperor Hongyu not only possessed extraordinary combat power, but he also broke the shackles of common sense.
During that golden age, he somehow managed to subdue a Great Accomplished Holy Body and a Great Accomplished Overlord Body using some heaven-defying methods!
It should be known that the Great Accomplishment Holy Body and the Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body are both invincible physiques that are said to be able to challenge the Great Emperor and even compete with the Great Emperor for the Mandate of Heaven.
These two constitutions are inherently incompatible, like water and fire.
Emperor Hongyu possessed such extraordinary personal charisma and skill. He led a Great Accomplished Saint Body bathed in golden blood and a Great Accomplished Overlord Body that resembled an ancient war god descended to earth, with purple blood surging everywhere. The three of them joined forces and forcefully broke through the Immortal Tomb!
That battle shattered the stars and obliterated the Great Dao.
The six ancient emperors in the Immortal Tomb were killed.
From that time on, the Immortal Tomb was completely erased from the list!
Those who know this bloody secret are extremely rare in the world today.
The cultivators at the lower levels are still foolishly believing that the nine forbidden zones are high and mighty, but in reality, the supreme beings in the forbidden zones know very well: as long as the current emperor is strong enough and crazy enough, the forbidden zones of life can also be uprooted!
The Taiyin Emperor brought up this past event now in order to use the tragic state of the Immortal Tomb to awaken the sense of crisis among the other supreme beings.
