Chapter 769
The real show has only just begun.
........
In the desolate, star-filled wilderness at the edge of the universe, a chase continues.
Ziwei Heavenly Venerable and Demon God Emperor were like stray dogs, desperately fleeing under Lin Hanzhou's dense rain of silver sword light.
Along the way, countless lifeless stars were cleaved in two by the terrifying sword light, turning into cosmic dust.
Large swathes of meteorite belts were completely annihilated by the aftershocks of the sword energy.
Lin Hanzhou was like a tireless harvesting machine. Every time he swung his sword, the two people in front of him were terrified, fearing that the cold blade would fall on their necks at any moment.
The Demon God Emperor clutched his still throbbing severed arm, his dragon face filled with shock, anger, and frustration.
When has he, a great emperor of four generations, ever suffered such humiliation?
But faced with Lin Hanzhou's sword light, which could cut through all paths and ignore all defenses, even if he was unwilling, he could only speed up his escape.
The face of the Heavenly Venerable Ziwei was also extremely gloomy.
However, when she saw the huge, unusual asteroid belt getting closer and closer, a flash of wild joy and determination suddenly appeared in her eyes.
"We've finally arrived!"
Ziwei Tianzun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Her trump card, which she had been cultivating for countless years, the ultimate contingency plan originally intended to be used against the Emperor when the path to immortality opened, was located in this seemingly ordinary meteorite belt.
Before long, the two of them, one after the other, rushed towards the huge asteroid belt that covered hundreds of millions of miles of starry sky, like two shooting stars.
Unlike other places on the edge of the universe, the meteorites here are not only extremely large, but also arranged in an extremely dense manner, like a natural maze.
Just as it was about to plunge into the asteroid belt, the Heavenly Venerable Ziwei suddenly turned around. Without slowing down, he plunged headlong into the dense, sea-like asteroid field with an even more resolute attitude.
"Ziwei, are you crazy? The terrain of this meteorite belt is so complex. Once that monster gets involved, we won't even have room to hide!"
Upon seeing this, the Demon God Emperor, who was following closely behind, was greatly surprised.
He originally thought that the Celestial Venerable Ziwei would choose to continue to maneuver in the vast starry sky and look for an opportunity to escape, but he did not expect that the other party would choose to walk into the trap and enter such a deadly place where he could be "caught like a turtle in a jar".
However, the Heavenly Venerable Ziwei completely ignored the Demon God Emperor's exclamation. Her figure flickered a few times among the meteorites and then mysteriously disappeared.
Although the Demon God Emperor was filled with doubt and unease, he had no time to think at this critical juncture of life and death.
Lin Hanzhou behind him, his cold sword intent felt like a thorn in his back.
The two were now in the same boat, and the Demon God Emperor gritted his teeth and had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow, plunging headlong into that strange meteorite belt.
After entering the meteorite belt, the Demon God Emperor keenly sensed that something was amiss.
The huge meteorites around them, seemingly chaotic, actually subtly correspond to the trajectory of some ancient formation.
Deep within this meteorite cluster lies an extremely hidden spatial node, emanating a strange and faint spatial fluctuation.
This is the entrance to a hidden, unknown little world on the edge of the universe!
Seeing the figure of the Heavenly Venerable Ziwei disappear into that spatial node without hesitation, the Demon God Emperor was still somewhat hesitant, but he knew that he had no way to retreat at this moment.
He gritted his teeth and transformed into a beam of platinum light, then followed him into the entrance of that small world.
The two figures vanished completely from this desolate sea of meteorites.
The next moment, a white figure tore through the void, like a drawn sword, and came to a steady stop in front of this asteroid belt.
Lin Hanzhou, dressed in white and holding a silver sword, had a cold and stern face that remained completely expressionless.
His deep gaze pierced through the obstruction of numerous meteorites, landing precisely on the spatial node emitting strange fluctuations.
"Oh? There's actually an entrance to a small world hidden here."
Lin Hanzhou raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
The fact that the Celestial Venerable Ziwei changed his escape route so abruptly and entered this unknown little world without hesitation made his intentions all too clear.
This is clearly a trap.
A deadly trap meticulously prepared by the Heavenly Venerable Ziwei, specifically designed to lure him into a trap.
If it were any other emperor, faced with a situation where they knew it was a trap, they might have chosen to proceed cautiously, or even retreat directly.
After all, the trump card that an ancient celestial being who has lived for four lifetimes has accumulated is absolutely extraordinary, and a slight misstep could lead to a disastrous outcome.
However, Lin Hanzhou was no ordinary emperor.
He looked at the spatial node, a faint, cold smile playing on his lips.
"A trap? The thing I, Lin Hanzhou, fear the least is a trap."
Without any hesitation or probing.
Lin Hanzhou, carrying his silver sword, swayed and transformed into a white rainbow, calmly stepping into the entrance of that small world.
With Lin Hanzhou's arrival, this perilous meteorite belt once again returned to a deathly stillness.
……
Inside that mysterious little world.
The first two people to enter this place, Ziwei Tianzun and Demon God Emperor, are now standing side by side on a broken continental plate floating in the void.
The Demon God Emperor looked around, his eyes filled with doubt and confusion.
The scene here was extremely tragic.
This is absolutely a small world that has been completely ruined and is on the verge of destruction.
The once vast and boundless continent had long since crumbled and disintegrated over countless years, transforming into fragmented pieces of varying sizes, lifeless and scattered, drifting aimlessly in the cold, dim void.
The sky had long since shattered, with no longer the radiance of the sun, moon, or stars shining down. Only jagged spatial rifts crisscrossed the landscape, from which violent void currents occasionally spilled out.
There was no life here, no plants, no spiritual energy, and even the passage of time seemed incredibly slow, as if it were a junkyard abandoned by the entire universe.
The Demon God Emperor couldn't understand why the Ziwei Heavenly Venerable would lure that evil star to such a dilapidated place at this critical juncture, a place that seemed to have no tactical value other than "catching a turtle in a jar".
"Ziwei, what on earth are you doing?"
"You lured that monster to this deadly place, do you want to drag us all down with you?"
The Demon God Emperor couldn't help but question him, his tone filled with undisguised anxiety and anger.
However, when faced with the Demon God Emperor's questioning, the Ziwei Heavenly Venerable did not appear flustered or agitated as before.
On the contrary, her face, which had been pale and disheveled from her escape, now regained the composure and confidence befitting an ancient celestial being.
She did not answer the Demon God Emperor's question immediately, but simply raised her chin slightly, a faint smile on her lips.
"What's the rush? The real show has only just begun."
