Chapter 924: Chapter 919 Rebirth I

"The world is an illusion."

"The world is hazy."

"The world is the shadow of all things."

"The world... is just a bubble..."

Lin Xin suddenly opened his eyes.

He was floating in a vast, dark passage, moving forward rapidly.

The passage was cylindrical, with small clusters of pale green dots on the inner walls, indistinguishable in nature.

But he had no energy to observe his surroundings, instead clutching his head and groaning.

Countless pieces of information were pouring into his mind at a frantic speed and force.

At the same time, it was also refreshing all the memories he possessed.

This infusion of information seemed to affect more than just him.

He quickly heard the screams of the God Ancestor Yannaiya, Tian Yin Dragon King, and Jiu Se Fang Yu not far away.

The infusion of information was one thing, but amid the screams, Lin Xin seemed to see.

The clusters of green dots on the passage walls appeared to be attracted by the sound, slowly flying towards them.

As the dots drew nearer, a terrifying sense of impending crisis surged within Lin Xin. Having embodied the Sword of Fear, he was immune to fear.

But the sense of a horrifying death crisis lingered, serving as a warning-like ability.

The God Ancestor Yannaiya at the forefront seemed to be enduring even more excruciating torment, completely oblivious to the approaching seething green dots.

Soon, a small cluster of green dots approached her.

Though Lin Xin could only see Yannaiya’s back, he could clearly see the green light fall onto her body.

Poof!

Yannaiya suddenly burst into wild laughter.

"The great universe! I’m here!! I’m finally out!!! Hahahaha!!" She laughed crazily, as if lost in some inexplicable illusion.

And then, there was nothing.

Yannaiya’s entire body suddenly ignited, turning into a cluster of green fire, and in a blink of an eye burned to white ash, vanishing.

Only at the very end did Lin Xin faintly feel Yannaiya’s abruptly awakened consciousness. She wanted to struggle, but it was too late.

Hiss...

A top Taoist Ancestor disappeared just like that?!

Lin Xin was shocked.

God Ancestor Yannaiya had refined over ten layers of the Abyss into strip form, a terrifying existence, could she have been so easily and effortlessly obliterated without resistance?

He could hardly believe it.

Moreover, this passage seemed somewhat bizarre.

Were it not for his release from the control of the destruction will, he wouldn’t be sure if he had escaped the black universe.

Seems like he couldn’t determine where he was or whether he had entered the gate of transcendence.

What amazed him further was that those floating ahead of him, Fang Yu, Jiu Se, and Tian Yin Dragon King, seemed entirely unaware of Yannaiya’s fate.

Satisfied smiles still spread across their faces.

But apart from Yannaiya, the others seemed just out of the green light’s reach.

The green light consumed Yannaiya and then greedily eyed the remaining group, seemingly wanting to overtake them, but as if impeded by some distance barrier.

They stopped, burning and shimmering in mid-air, a small distance before reaching Tian Yin Dragon King at the forefront.

Lin Xin examined his own body. Both he and the others, such as Tian Yin Dragon King, had all been reduced to the same size, barely reaching three meters in height.

Moreover, their bodies appeared faintly translucent, evidently not purely material flesh, possibly soul traversal, or some other form. He wasn’t sure.

Yet among all the information poured into his mind, a portion revealed to Lin Xin what this place actually was.

"This is Xudao, the path all from the black universe must take to ascend to the great universe."

He seemed to realize, squinting at the unawakened figures ahead.

"This is a great opportunity..."

Whether Jiu Se or Tian Yin, even Fang Yu, everyone plotted, hoping to be the sole transcendent one.

Previously Lin Xin was outmatched, thus manipulated.

But now, in this Xudao, having awakened first, no one could accuse him if he struck first.

Lin Xin subtly maneuvered his body, flapping his wings a bit. He surged forward, although not swiftly, gradually closing in on Jiu Se ahead.

Jiu Se was nearest to him and his long-standing adversary.

Given the current opportunity, the first person Lin Xin wanted to eliminate was naturally him.

He didn’t know why he awoke before the others, possibly due to body density, perhaps due to enhancements in average attributes of his attributes, or maybe the universe’s destruction will and the Divine Wind took over the suppression he was meant to experience.

But regardless, he was now awake.

This was his chance.

Softly maneuvering, Lin Xin soon reached Jiu Se’s back.

Without any hesitation, he extended his arms and gently pushed.

With a smile still on his face, Jiu Se was slowly pushed towards the large clusters of green fire on the passage’s inner wall.

Hoo!!

Several clusters of green fire instinctively pounced on Jiuyue’s face. Before he could regain consciousness, with a swoosh, his whole body turned into white ash and disappeared.

"Did he just die like that?"

Lin Xin found it somewhat unbelievable. He looked down at his own body. With just a slight push, Jiuyue, whom he had struggled to kill before, died just like that...

Not pausing for long, he continued flying towards the two people left ahead.

One was Fang Yu, the other was the Tian Yin Dragon King.

Tian Yin was at the front, with Fang Yu a bit ahead of Lin Xin.

Both seemed to be trapped in some kind of illusion, unable to extricate themselves.

Lin Xin flew behind Fang Yu and gently pushed.

"No!!" Suddenly, Fang Yu seemed to sense danger, his eyes snapped open, meeting Lin Xin’s cold, murderous eyes.

He twisted his body, though still pushed by Lin Xin, he dashed towards the Tian Yin Dragon King in front.

Bam!

The Tian Yin Dragon King was slammed into, his body turned, flying towards the left inner wall.

Several clusters of green light eagerly flew up to him there.

In an instant, Tian Yin’s body was burned up, disappearing without a trace.

Fang Yu’s forward momentum was also eased, stopping him from being pushed into the inner wall.

At least he managed to wake up in time, breaking out in a cold sweat.

But immediately, before gaining full control of his body, he saw Lin Xin flying towards him again with a sneer.

"There’s no need for us to fight here! They’re all dead; the two of us have enough to transcend reincarnation!"

He hurriedly said.

"Isn’t it better if I transcend alone?" Lin Xin said coldly.

"This is the realm of illusion; our fight is meaningless. If you agree to stop, I can tell you something about the great cosmos." Fang Yu said urgently, aware that Lin Xin was a madman now, appearing normal but could relapse at any moment.

"Also, I know a remedy for the mental imbalance caused by your Supreme Jiuyue Divine Wind Sword."

"A remedy?" Lin Xin smiled. Had it not been for the destiny of destruction possessing him at the end, he originally had a way to avoid this mental imbalance. With the Sword Hall’s heritage, he could have abandoned the Divine Wind Sword techniques and cultivated another Sword Master’s arts.

It was just that he was caught off guard by the interference of the destructive will, ending in possession.

But since Fang Yu had regained consciousness, and in this place, they couldn’t use any of their Divine Skills, a temporary truce was acceptable.

After all, only the two of them were left now.

Fang Yu, seeing him stop, also smiled wryly.

"Let’s call it even, shall we? Before, I conspired against you, but just now you almost killed me too."

"What do you want to say?" Lin Xin said calmly. He seemed unaffected by the emotional detachment of the Divine Wind Sword, and everything appeared normal.

"Don’t you want to know how to enter the great cosmos? And the differences between the black cosmos and the great cosmos?" Fang Yu said urgently, also fearing that Lin Xin might suddenly act out.

"Alright, speak, I’m listening." Lin Xin said indifferently.

Fang Yu smiled bitterly.

"I didn’t expect that in the end, it would be just the two of us left."

He paused, sighing.

"Simply put, saying the black cosmos is part of the great cosmos is inappropriate.

By the way, do you know the relationship between light and shadow?"

Lin Xin squinted his eyes, staring at him intently.

"What do you mean?"

Fang Yu shook his head and continued.

"In the past, my original self, the Future Buddha, desperately sought transcendence and tried myriad ways, eventually making a pact with the Tian Yin Dragon King.

Through these many attempts, although there wasn’t much success, I did manage to roughly understand what our black cosmos truly is."

"....." Lin Xin did not interrupt, listening carefully.

Fang Yu didn’t disappoint, following up with a shocking revelation.

"In fact, our black cosmos, through calculations and cross-checking, it’s basically ascertainable.

That is, the black cosmos is actually just a recurring burst of bubble phenomena within the great cosmos."

"Bubbles?!" Lin Xin’s heart sank, "Explain, make it clearer."

"No need, we’re already there, you will soon understand what I mean." Fang Yu said with a bitter smile, "I harbor no ill intent towards you, only the two of us are left emerging from the black cosmos.

Remember, you must not heed any changes in yourself, just keep moving forward! Push onward! Don’t mind anything!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xin saw him vanish suddenly, as if disappearing into thin air.

Quickly, he himself felt something amiss too.

Looking down, he saw his own body rapidly disappearing, becoming transparent, or maybe entering another space.

Boom!!!

In the instant the last bit of his body dissolved, Lin Xin felt a mass of chaos explode within his soul.

All sorts of jumbled information and memories mingled into one, in his head like a tangled ball of yarn, indistinguishable from start to finish.

Lin Xin could see nothing, hear nothing, only feel his soul being spun and whirled by something akin to a centrifuge.
