Chapter 4585: It Can't Be Him
The Flame of World Destruction, given by the mysterious master, is something even the Supremes couldn't command.
Lin Moyu has speculated about the master's identity if he's right, it should be the Calamity Supreme.
That Supreme acquired the Flame of World Destruction from somewhere, realized its extraordinary nature but couldn't wield it, so worked it into a grand plan and entrusted it to Lin Moyu.
Now, the Calamity Supreme has already taken that step forward though not wholly successful, he's at least surpassed other Supremes.
He took that step deep within Gu Huang; perhaps he is still nearby.
If someone creates his illusion under the Laws of Heaven and Earth, the Calamity Supreme could sense it.
Soon, Lin Moyu feels a will descend the ancient castle seems to bear unimaginable pressure, fracturing in many places.
"So it's true, the mysterious master is the Calamity Supreme. I was right," Lin Moyu smiles, his aura withdrawn, the Hidden Spirit Orb activated to its limit.
Primal Chaos Stone shakes its head, "Not enough!"
With a gesture, Balance Stone sheds light; instantly Lin Moyu's aura vanishes.
Using the Balance Stone, Chaos Stone harmonizes Lin Moyu's aura with the surrounding void, achieving near invisibility.
After the will descends, the illusions immediately shatter; the will diffuses, sending ripples in all directions.
It sweeps past Lin Moyu without noticing him.
Here, even the Calamity Supreme is restricted he can only send a tiny sliver of his will and can't truly see inside.
Otherwise, the Hidden Spirit Orb alone wouldn't conceal Lin Moyu; only the Balance Stone can hide him from the Supreme.
Still, that Supreme's ability to instantly sense this place shows his power already exceeds "the Dao."
This confirms for Lin Moyu that the mysterious master in the great world is the Calamity Supreme.
No matter where the Flame originated, the Supreme ultimately put it in Lin Moyu's hands.
Maybe there's an unknown reason only the Calamity Supreme knows.
With the illusion shattered, a mirror appears
It's not an illusion, but truly real; Lin Moyu knows it is the ultimate in illusion, transformed into reality.
Its power is such that even the Calamity Supreme's will can only break its illusions, not harm the mirror itself.
Lin Moyu starts to act, then suddenly finds himself immobilized.
The mirror radiates, growing immense his own reflection is cast upon it.
The scenery morphs; Lin Moyu finds himself in a strange void.
Far off are points of starlight, each star radiating danger.
Still far off, that mirror remains the starlight hitting it only increases its power.
His reflected self in the mirror changes, and Lin Moyu senses the breath of time.
Time flows in the mirror; it probes his past.
His image in the mirror shifts, growing younger, smaller adult to child, then adult again in another form.
That's the self who crossed worlds, living in a certain zone of this world.
This image grows younger still, back to childhood in the previous life before crossing over.
Lin Moyu doesn't realize his physical form is changing with the mirror; even his powers become unstable, sometimes strong, sometimes weak.
At that moment, Lin Moyu can't move; the mirror locks onto him, and his soul and memory transform with it.
When the mirror displays the previous lifetime's form, Lin Moyu's memory reverts there too.
If the illusion ended there, Lin Moyu's memory might be trapped forever.
But the mirror is limited it can't end whenever it likes.
Lin Moyu's soul struggles, resisting.
Deep within his soul a voice shouted, "Not so easy to kill me!"
Outside, the Primal Chaos Stone watches quietly
Everything in the mirror visible to him.
The soul gem in the Calamity Scepter glows, ready to intervene.
But the Primal Chaos Stone doesn't act; he mutters to himself, "This is both disaster and opportunity. Hopefully the master can endure."
It's a trial of the heart. If Lin Moyu can bear it, the benefits will be unimaginable.
So the stone stays silen only if Lin Moyu can't take it will he intervene.
The mirror keeps working instead of just the previous life, it searches even deeper.
The further back, the more hazy Lin Moyu's memories the more his present memories fade.
One life after another, his image changes, old memories drowned in the experience of reincarnation, resurfacing little by little.
No telling how many lifetimes pass, until suddenly, someone appears in the mirror a figure too blurry to identify.
"How could this be!"
The Primal Chaos Stone exclaims, his eyes wide in disbelief.
Once that person appears, the mirror shatters with a bang.
Lin Moyu grunts as his consciousness returns, all those memories mostly gone, almost nothing remains.
"What happened?" Lin Moyu isn't sure; to his knowledge the mirror was probing past lives, stirring up memory.
Later, for some reason, it manifested memories he didn't even know, using them to suppress his soul
He fought to regain control but failed, until now those strange memories all vanished; he can't recall any.
The mirror in front of him is obliterated.
Feeling weird, Lin Moyu wonders what just happened.
"Primal Chaos Stone, what happened just now?"
When asked, the stone seems dazed, slow to respond as if asleep.
Lin Moyu knocks the Calamity Scepter: "Wake up, what just happened?"
Snapping out of it, Chaos Stone hurriedly answers, "Nothing, it just broke."
Lin Moyu presses, "I know it broke, but why?"
The Primal Chaos Stone explains, "It was never fully matured, transformed from illusion into reality but still flawed. Earlier, someone's will destroyed its illusion and worsened the flaw. Now, it used full power, and you fought it for so long it just couldn't hold up, so it broke.
That's for the best; you're fine, gather up the pieces, they're valuable."
Lin Moyu murmurs, "Is that really it?"
The Primal Chaos Stone assures, "Of course! Don't worry, hurry up and absorb it, don't let it fly away."
The shattered mirror starts to drift off, so Lin Moyu waves his hand the Flame of World Destruction flares out, refining and reclaiming all the fragments.
Silently, Primal Chaos Stone thinks: "Luckily, I reacted fast. But how could it be him? Impossible, it just can't be!"
