Chapter 529: Chapter 528: Devouring Sword Soul, an Intention Unbearable for Heaven and Earth!

Upon hearing the old monk’s voice, Lin Bai asked with curiosity, "What is the illusion of Mirror Flower and Water Moon?"

The old monk laughed and said, "It is a Buddhist divine power used to deduce a warrior’s past and present lives. However, I am not proficient in this technique and have only learned some basics of it. Therefore, I can only let you glimpse a part of the future illusion."

"But whether this illusion will come true is unknown to anyone."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai frowned.

Lin Bai recalled Ling Tianzi’s words. Ling Tianzi had instructed Lin Bai to find the temple, saying that he could understand his Devouring Sword Spirit in the temple.

Could Ling Tianzi be referring to the Mirror Flower and Water Moon in the hands of this old monk?

After some contemplation, Lin Bai said, "Then let me see what this Mirror Flower and Water Moon is."

The old monk laughed and asked, "So you agree?"

Lin Bai nodded.

The old monk, full of delight, said, "I see you are indeed a kind-hearted person, and the kind-hearted are always blessed."

"Okay, then I will initiate the Mirror Flower and Water Moon for you."

As he was speaking, the old monk stretched out his finger, smiling broadly, and gently pointed forward.

Upon pointing into the void, he stirred up a ripple that spread widely.

Immediately, this ripple spread out, engulfing all the space around Lin Bai.

Swoosh——

Within an instant, Lin Bai found himself floating in an expansive world under the azure blue water pond, the scenery around him suddenly changed.

"Where am I?"

"Is this the illusion that the old monk talked about?"

Lin Bai was incredibly surprised, looking all around.

Far away, Lin Bai could see an unbroken mountain range on the other side of this world.

On one mountain peak, numerous figures stood densely packed.

Among these figures, Lin Bai saw many familiar faces.

There was the cold as ice Jian Ruohan.

The daring and impressive First Princess.

The soft and gentle Hong Su Lady.

And... the Figure of Ye Suxin with an expressionless face.

In the eyes of these four, there was a slight trace of worry as they gazed forward.

There were many other people there that Lin Bai did not recognize.

"What are they looking at?"

Lin Bai exclaimed in surprise.

Their gazes were all locked intently behind him.

Curious, Lin Bai turned to look over his shoulder.

What he saw astonished him.

Shock!

Unprecedented horror was reflected in Lin Bai’s eyes.

Because when he turned to look, right in front of him was a figure covered in blood, without a patch of intact skin left.

This figure, lying down on the chaotic earth, all bones broken, barely hanging on, pale as a ghost, but with a pair of bright eyes filled with rage, defiance, and obstinacy, looking up at the sky.

This figure was no other than Lin Bai himself!

Lin Bai, trembling with surprise, uttered: "It’s me! Who am I fighting that would result in such grave injuries!"

The sight of the injuries on that figure gave Lin Bai a chilling sense of dread.

Immediately.

Following his gaze up to the sky, Lin Bai looked on.

What he saw turned his face deathly pale.

"My God! Who is that?"

Lin Bai exclaimed.

Lin Bai could not believe what he was seeing in the sky. He had never seen anything like it before.

Up in the sky.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, obscuring the sun.

Within the dark clouds, sparks flashed, and thunder roared; it felt like the end of the world.

And above these layers of dark clouds stood a giant that seemed to touch the sky and stand on the earth, standing proudly.

Only the upper half of this giant could be seen above the clouds.

The upper body of the giant was bulging with muscles, like divine dragons coiling around his body, emanating a terrifying aura of power.

His face was ferocious, eyes wide open in anger, each one as large as the sun itself.

There was rage on his face and his complexion was incredibly savage.

He furiously surveyed the earth below, where Lin Bai was lying in a pool of blood, roaring continuously.

His fist was as big as a mountain.

When he swung his fist, the space above the sky was torn layer by layer.

With a fierce punch, he attacked Lin Bai.

The power of this punch could truly shatter the heavens and break up the earth.

Even before this punch fell, the huge power had already cracked the land under the fist like a spider web.

Under this punch, Lin Bai was crying out in pain.

If this punch had landed, Lin Bai would undoubtedly have died!

One punch was enough to completely destroy Lin Bai, both physically and spiritually.

"Who is it! Who wants to kill me!"

Lin Bai looked at the giant and said through gritted teeth, a hint of barely concealed dread and fear in his eyes.

Just observing this battle from a distance had filled Lin Bai with a sense of panic.

The power of this giant was too strong!

At this moment, a resounding voice fell like divine judgment, "Devouring Sword Spirit, it’s an act that Heaven and Earth cannot tolerate, I, in obedience to Heaven’s mandate, will slay it!"

Rumble——

When this punch fell, everything under the heaven was obliterated.

From a distance, Lin Bai deeply felt the startling power of this punch, which scared him into breaking out in a cold sweat.

Lin Bai saw Lin Bai, who had fallen to the ground after this punch, trying hard to stand up, but unfortunately...

Crack——

Under this punch, the illusion under the pond broke apart.

The pond returned to calm, turning into a bluish-green color.

The world before Lin Bai disappeared.

As for whether that last punch from the giant had killed Lin Bai,

Lin Bai hadn’t seen it.

The old monk appeared opposite Lin Bai, seeing his look of panic, he smiled and asked, " Have you seen the illusion?"

Lin Bai said coldly, "Master, are you saying that what happened in this illusion will happen to me in the future?"

The old monk laughed, "To be precise, yes, but after all, illusions are illusions and there could be errors. Many warriors who’ve witnessed the Mirror Flower and Water Moon have not seen the things from the illusion happen in reality."

"So, you don’t have to be so troubled by it."

Hearing the old monk’s consolation didn’t put Lin Bai’s mind at ease.

Now, Lin Bai was full of questions, who was that giant? Why did he want to kill himself?

Was it because of the Devouring Sword Spirit?

In the end, the crime that the giant accused Lin Bai of was: "Devouring Sword Spirit, an act that Heaven and Earth cannot tolerate, I, in obedience to Heaven’s mandate, will slay it!"

That was the crime.

But Lin Bai didn’t understand why there was such a crime.

At this moment the old monk didn’t mention Lin Bai’s Sword Spirit, so Lin Bai didn’t dare to ask if this was because of the Devouring Sword Spirit.

He feared that in case he exposed his Devouring Sword Spirit, the old monk would spread it out, causing Lin Bai more trouble.

"The Master sent me here, so it must have been for this Mirror Flower and Water Moon."

Lin Bai now understood Ling Tianzi’s intention.

Splash!

Just at this moment, a sudden splashing of water came.

Lin Bai and the old monk both turned back in surprise, only to see that the Desolate Sword Cultivator had fallen into the pond!

Lin Bai and the old monk both looked worried.

Lin Bai’s apprehension of the Desolate Sword Cultivator was no less than the old monk’s, especially that Demon Sword in his hand...
