Chapter 530 The Truth of the Immortal Path
Right at the edge of his field of vision.
At the edge of that dark sea, in the distance where there should have been nothing.
Through the sea, which was shrouded in a faint, eerie black mist, Lin Hanzhou saw a shadow.
A colossal shadow, at least tens of thousands of feet long!
This shadow stood silently at the edge of the sea, seemingly reaching to the heavens and connecting above to the endless void and chaos, while below it was deeply rooted in the eerie depths of the Black Sea.
As Lin Hanzhou slowly moved forward, the surrounding black mist dissipated slightly, and the outline of the enormous creature gradually became clear in his eyes.
That... it was a door!
A door that looks ancient and weathered!
The doorposts were carved with strange patterns that Lin Hanzhou had never seen before. Some of them looked like totems used in ancient people's sacrifices, while others resembled the trajectories of stars. Even just a glance from afar gave one the strong illusion that their soul was about to be sucked in.
What shocked Lin Hanzhou the most was...
The dazzling celestial light of ascension to immortality that one might imagine emanated from the cracks in this door.
On the contrary, deep within the crack in the door seemed to seep out an extreme desolation and deathly silence that was even more profound and chilling than the Black Sea itself.
"This...this could be...the legendary immortal sect?!"
Lin Hanzhou felt his heart pounding wildly and his throat go dry.
"The Immortal Sect truly exists! And it stands right before my eyes!"
The end of the immortal path is not in the heavens, nor in chaos, but at the edge of this incredible ocean.
As long as you push open that door, you can reach the legendary immortal realm.
However, Lin Hanzhou did not rush to enter the immortal gate. He looked behind him, where there was a strange black sea that was as smooth as a black mirror.
The fog rolled silently on the sea, making everything seem so lifeless and empty.
However, a cold and mocking smile slowly crept onto Lin Hanzhou's lips.
"You've been hiding and spying on me for so long, and now that I'm at your doorstep, aren't you going to come out and show me some hospitality?"
Lin Hanzhou's voice was like the sound of an ancient divine bell, transforming into tangible golden sound waves that swept wildly outwards from him into the dark sea in all directions!
The supreme imperial might contained within the sound waves instantly tore apart the eerie black mist drifting on the sea surface.
The once still and undisturbed dark ocean seemed to be completely detonated by some extremely terrifying force at this moment!
"Gurgle...gurgle..."
The black sea, spanning millions of miles, instantly began to boil violently!
Countless enormous black bubbles surged wildly from the depths of the sea.
Immediately afterward, under Lin Hanzhou's cold and murderous gaze...
One after another, terrifying figures, as black as ink and exuding a chilling aura, rose slowly from the boiling black sea, like evil spirits crawling out from the deepest part of the eighteenth level of hell!
At first glance, the sheer number is so overwhelming it's almost despair-inducing!
These figures emerging from the seawater are varied in shape, twisted and bizarre, completely subverting the aesthetics and common sense of all living things in the world.
As these figures appeared, a series of mournful wails, like the lamentations of countless vengeful spirits, echoed and reverberated across the entire Black Sea.
This sound did not travel through the air, but directly ignored physical defenses, and launched a frenzied probe and pollution of Lin Hanzhou's sea of consciousness and soul in an extremely insidious manner!
Looking at the monstrous army before him, which seemed to have emerged from a nightmare, a rare and solemn light flashed deep in Lin Hanzhou's eyes.
He remembered that he had seen a similar creature before.
That was in the world I traveled to in my third dream, and the creatures there were called "Strange".
Although the difference in their strength is vast, the almost identical aura between them cannot be faked.
"It seems that this bizarre origin is far more terrifying than I imagined."
Lin Hanzhou took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping across the dense, eerie army ahead with lightning speed.
He finally understood why that supreme immortal king had gone to such great lengths at the end of this immortal path to leave behind a vast blue sea containing the laws of immortality!
That wasn't meant to stop cultivators from the lower realms from searching for the Immortal Realm!
That was clearly a defensive line!
A defensive line to stop these "strange" creatures from invading the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths along the Immortal Path!
"So, the truth behind the so-called severance of the path to immortality is actually this..."
A profound sense of shock and sorrow welled up in Lin Hanzhou's heart.
Those ancient emperors who once entered the path to immortality thought that the immortal realm ahead lay before them, but little did they know that what lay ahead was actually a bizarre source capable of destroying the entire universe!
The Celestial King cut off the path to immortality, but in reality, it was to protect the living beings in the lower realms!
And now, Lin Hanzhou stands at the very front of this defensive line, facing these terrifying monsters who have been blocked by the power of the Immortal King for countless epochs!
"roar--!!!"
It seemed that they sensed the pure and powerful life force emanating from Lin Hanzhou, or perhaps Lin Hanzhou's earlier outburst had enraged them.
That densely packed, multi-million-strong, bizarre army, after letting out a chilling roar, surged towards Lin Hanzhou like a black tide of death, carrying a terrifying, world-destroying force!
Lin Hanzhou's gaze swept coldly over the charging monsters, his divine sense scanning them like radar, and his heart sank once again.
The power of these bizarre creatures is so overwhelming that it inspires despair!
The aura emanating from those cannon fodder at the forefront was no weaker than that of the saints outside!
Behind the cannon fodder formation, those strange beings had already reached the level of quasi-emperors!
What's even more chilling is that!
Deep within that eerie army, there were hundreds of terrifying phantoms, appearing and disappearing as if they had completely merged with the darkness.
They did not charge with the army, but they simply stood there, and the extremely compressed and eerie laws emanating from them caused the surrounding laws to collapse!
That was a bizarre king comparable to an emperor!
Hundreds of terrifying beings comparable to Great Emperors, leading tens of thousands of Quasi-Emperors and hundreds of millions of Saints, formed an impenetrable encirclement of Lin Hanzhou at the end of this immortal path where there was no way out!
If it were any contemporary emperor from the outside world, or even the Great Accomplished Holy Body and the Great Accomplished Hegemon Body who joined forces to get here,
Faced with such a terrifying lineup and such an unreasonable gang attack, their only fate is to be worn down to death by these bizarre creatures. In the end, even the corpse of the Supreme Emperor will be corrupted and assimilated, becoming a high-level puppet in this Black Sea!
No cultivator in the human realm could survive such a vast disparity in both quantity and quality.
This is absolutely a death trap with no chance of survival!
