Chapter 490: Immortals of All Beings Return

Lin Chuan, the Black Mist has stopped.

The Human Ancestor's voice echoed deep in Lin Chuan's soul, "It may employ some Forbidden Technique to break your predicament."

"Understood."

Lin Chuan replied, "Human Ancestor, once Black Mist uses the Forbidden Technique, I can hold the line here; please be sure to seize the opportunity."

The origin of Black Mist has split at both ends of the Starry Sky.

But in essence it remains a single entity.

When one side is strong, the other becomes weak.

If Black Mist forces a crossing of the Starry Sky and draws origin power from the opposite end to support this side, it must pay a price.

For him and the Human Ancestor, this is the chance!

Time passes.

The waiting does not last long.

Turmoil descends.

In the Starry Sky they guard, a small black star emerges from the reverse space.

In an instant, the energy of this Starry Sky surges wildly toward the black star.

Lin Chuan has seen similar tactics; in future Reincarnation dreams, the Great Sun that controls the An Ying Zhu world and influences the Jing Tu world.

It is probably generated in this way.

When the black star appears, the entire Starry Sky becomes turbulent.

The Nine Immortals' expressions change dramatically, "What is that?"

A terrifying suction makes even they shiver, as if it will devour their very life force.

If this continues, this space will soon shatter.

When that happens, high‑rank shadow beings will breach the Star Ring Realm, an unstoppable disaster.

Bang!

The thought barely formed, and under the black star's influence, a breach in space has opened, with high‑rank shadow beings emerging from it.

"Leave it to me."

Lin Chuan's voice rang in the Nine Immortals' ears, "You suppress the space; as long as the overall framework doesn't fracture, that's enough."

Black Mist's turmoil will inevitably open a breach.

If the whole doesn't collapse, he can act as the safety net.

"Alright."

The Nine Immortals responded in unison; now the actions are entirely led by Lin Chuan, and his many displays fully earn their trust.

Lin Chuan's calm confidence in facing Black Mist is something they completely lack.

High‑rank shadow beings surge out from the breach.

Wielding the Sword of All Beings, Lin Chuan intercepts them; in just a dozen or so rounds he slays them, yet more high‑rank beings quickly surge forth.

From different breaches they head toward the Star Ring Realm.

The Nine Immortals cannot leave their respective zones, their hearts burning with anxiety.

"There's nothing we can do."

Lin Chuan draws the last Reincarnation Reflection Card, "Immortal of All Beings"; the situation is dire, and he hopes to suppress the whole field with the Realm of Aspiring Immortals? That's utterly impossible.

"Merge."

Reincarnation Reflection unleashes endless Immortal Divine Power from the Reincarnation, and Lin Chuan instantly steps into the Immortal Realm.

It is stronger than the 'Immortal of All Beings' state in the Ancient God Absolute Realm of that lifetime.

Because now he wields the Sword of All Beings, a sword that counters Black Mist, and it perfectly matches the 'Immortal of All Beings' state.

At this moment, he is approaching the third tier of the Immortal Realm.

Swish!

Sword light slices across the Starry Sky.

In this state, Lin Chuan slays shadow lives in the area with ease, like cutting grass.

The Nine Immortals are shocked.

"This is…"

"Lin Chuan's Past Life power?"

They all speculate that Lin Chuan is a reincarnated Immortal, perhaps even the reincarnation of that Xia Zi Sword Immortal, but they have silently not asked.

Until now, Lin Chuan has displayed crushing power.

Soon Lin Chuan wipes out the high‑rank shadow beings in the Starry Sky.

"You continue to suppress, I'll go into the reverse space and see if I can cut off the origin of Black Mist."

This is an excellent opportunity; cooperating with the Human Ancestor, even if we cannot directly annihilate Black Mist, we can grievously wound it and buy him time.

Everything is advantageous.

While the 'Immortal of All Beings' state persists, Lin Chuan charges into the reverse space created by shadows.

He is confident.

Even if the 'Immortal of All Beings' state ends, he can still naturally step into the Immortal Realm.

This Reincarnation Reflection Card gave him far too many insights, and his ultimate path beyond the Immortal Realm only needed a single opportunity.

Storming into the reverse space, Lin Chuan delves deeper, yet feels increasingly familiar.

He seems to have been here before.

Not the original ancient era, but the future Reincarnation dream, when his daughter Rumeng led him into the An Ying Zhu's space.

The myriad things that seemed familiar made Lin Chuan feel a sudden daze.

"This is..."

"Fluctuation of the Shikong law?"

In his daze, Lin Chuan saw countless fragments; in the Shi Jie of fragments, he saw countless versions of himself.

The stories within those fragments, some came from the past, and some originated from the future.

Lin Chuan was suddenly startled.

Upon sensing again, he discovered that his connection to the external Starry Sky had been completely severed.

Ahead, a silhouette materialized.

Lin Chuan's pupils contracted; this scene, identical to the finale of the future Dream Reincarnation, saw An Ying Zhu shapeshift into a faceless humanoid form.

"Indeed, you have already seen my future self."

An Ying Zhu spoke.

A shock ran through Lin Chuan's heart; this was the worst scenario he had imagined—Black Mist existed across past, present, and future, and could, like his Dream Reincarnation, constantly change.

"It seems you are dissatisfied with the future outcome, so you returned here."

An Ying Zhu spoke again.

"Actually, being able to return here, for you, is the best outcome."

"Even the worldly distractions you cannot abandon, you are destined to fail, unable to reach higher realms; in the end, you are merely a speck of dust in Chaos."

"What exactly are you?" Lin Chuan frowned.

"Me?"

An Ying Zhu said, "Like you, we are both specks of dust in Chaos, only slightly larger."

"Then I will erase your speck of dust, and you shall cause no more mischief."

Lin Chuan stopped wasting words, drove the power of Item: Sword of All Beings to its limit, slashing through the haze created by Black Mist, untricked,

Regardless of past or future, he would cut off the present dilemma first.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

An Ying Zhu's strength was not great; Lin Chuan quickly gained the advantage and slashed him down.

But Lin Chuan knew that An Ying Zhu would not be extinguished so easily.

In the future Dream Reincarnation, he had already stepped onto the Fifth Layer of the Immortal Realm, yet still could not completely kill An Ying Zhu.

He recalled the words An Ying Zhu had spoken in the future Dream Reincarnation.

"When you vanish from this universe, a new Living World will be born, eventually becoming another me."

"My Dao! Eternal!"

"Even if reincarnated billions of times, the final result would not differ at all."

"Either you become An Ying Zhu, endlessly evolving in this Chaos Universe, or you remain a solitary individual, enduring countless cycles of Living World's decline and suffering."

"In the end! You will still become me!"

"I will! Always waiting for you at the end of fate! No matter how many times it comes!!"

Ruminating those words again, Lin Chuan felt heavy-hearted; An Ying Zhu possessed an ability similar to his Dream Reincarnation.

Perhaps mastering Shikong is required to achieve it.

Lin Chuan wanted to break this limitation, yet could not find a path, completely clueless where to begin.
