588: Cause and effect, your life is worthless!

"Lin... Mu?!" Lin Yang exclaimed in surprise.

The metal body standing in front of him was none other than Lin Mu!

Lin Mu, who had disappeared for a very, very long time.

"Commander, Lin Mu greets you." Lin Mu was still smiling.

"Get out of the way quickly!" Although Lin Yang was surprised and curious about where Lin Mu had been all these years, there was no time to ask.

The terrifying giant hand of the Black Mist Figure was about to strike, and although Lin Mu had a metal body, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.

However, Lin Mu maintained his smile and said, "Don't worry, Commander, my body materials have been upgraded; he cannot kill me."

"Huh?" Lin Yang was stunned.

Cannot kill him?

How is that possible?

The master of this black mist was likely an existence surpassing the Ten Thousand Laws Realm.

Even if Lin Mu was a mechanical life form, he shouldn't be able to withstand it.

"Lin Mu, move aside quickly! I have my own ways. You might not know how terrifying the owner of this hand is!" Lin Yang said again.

He felt that Lin Mu only said that because he didn't realize how terrifying the opponent was.

"Don't worry, Commander, he cannot kill me!" Lin Mu said firmly again.

"Lin Mu, you..." Lin Yang felt anxious.

Boom!

But it was too late to say anything; the terrifying giant hand slammed directly onto Lin Mu.

"Crack." "Crack." "Crack."

Several sounds of metal breaking followed one after another.

Lin Yang couldn't bear to watch.

Lin Mu's metal head was twisted three hundred and sixty degrees by the strike, and half of his head collapsed.

His entire body was left in tatters.

But...

"Cough, cough... Indeed... powerful... Just a little bit more, and my body would have been shattered."

Lin Mu struggled to turn his head back to its original position.

Then, looking at Lin Yang with half of his head collapsed, he squeezed out a somewhat terrifying smile:

"Commander, you see? I told you, he cannot kill me."

"..."

Silence.

Lin Yang was silent.

This was too shocking!

Lin Mu's body, could it be that even a supreme existence estimated to be at least in the Transformation Dao Realm couldn't kill him?!

"Lin Mu, you... you..." Lin Yang was incredibly shocked, unable to find the right words for a moment.

"Haha, Commander, you can rest easy now, right?" Lin Mu laughed, and at the same time, his collapsed body began to slowly repair itself.

This once again shocked Lin Yang.

A body that couldn't even be destroyed by the Transformation Dao Realm, and it could still self-repair? This was truly ridiculously strong!

And it wasn't just Lin Yang who was shocked.

There were also all the experts in Endless Spacetime watching the battle at this moment.

Everyone was stunned by Lin Mu's toughness.

If even the Transformation Dao Realm couldn't kill him, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways in Endless Spacetime?

Everyone was speechless.

Inside the Mirror Ruins Realm, Jin Shi, who had narrowly escaped with his life, felt his heart turn cold at this moment.

One Lin Yang was already terrifying enough, but now there was an additional companion who couldn't be killed even by the Transformation Dao Realm. This was ten thousand times more terrifying than Lin Yang!

"Escape, escape!"

"I must escape as far as possible before Lin Yang has time to come and trouble me!"

"This Mirror Ruins Realm cannot be stayed in!"

Jin Shi had boundless fear in his eyes.

Of course, there was also a lot of reluctance and unwillingness.

After all, the Jin Shi Kingdom was something he had painstakingly built with his own hands.

Now that he had to flee, the Jin Shi Kingdom would naturally have to be abandoned.

This was equivalent to giving up a treasure trove.

Moreover, it was conceivable that even if he left the Mirror Ruins Realm and gave up the Jin Shi Kingdom, he couldn't establish a kingdom as high-profile as this in other spaces, because Lin Yang would definitely hunt him down.

This meant that after fleeing today, he would never be able to harvest wealth and resources on such a large scale as before.

"That kid is busy guarding the Universe Zone and has no time to come over for now, so I might as well take one last big harvest before fleeing!"

Jin Shi had a touch of madness in his eyes.

He wanted to take action personally, loot all the cities of the surrounding Little Countries that he could, and then flee with a large amount of resources.

This was his last chance to get a large amount of resources for a long time to come!

Swoosh!

Jin Shi went directly to the national treasury, took everything he could carry, and then quietly left the Jin Shi Kingdom.

At the same time, the surrounding Little Countries began to suffer from frantic looting by unknown individuals.

Inside the Saint Xuan Ancient Country.

Xuan Xiao and Uncle Fu were both incredibly excited at this moment.

"Advanced mechanical life form!"

"It's actually an advanced mechanical life form!"

"Your Highness, we've made a huge profit, a huge profit this time!"

"Not only did we gain a guaranteed Ten Thousand Laws Realm expert, but we also have an advanced mechanical life form to help!"

Uncle Fu was very excited. It was the first time he had been this excited, and his old face was flushed with excitement at this moment.

Xuan Xiao clenched his fists, also very excited: "Advanced mechanical life form, even I have only heard of them; I didn't expect them to actually exist!"

He looked at Lin Mu's metal body, marveling: "I heard that the bodies of such advanced mechanical life forms cannot be easily destroyed even by the Transformation Dao Realm. They are a very powerful and gifted type of life form, but they lack the ability to comprehend the Dao and can only rely on their physical strength to master some combat techniques. Their ultimate limit is not high."

Uncle Fu nodded: "That is correct. This kind of life form cannot sense the existence of the Dao. Their strongest power is equivalent to the Transformation Dao Realm, and they cannot reach the height of the Dao Realm."

Xuan Xiao smiled slightly: "But in Endless Spacetime, an advanced mechanical life form is indeed enough to walk sideways. An existence that even a Transformation Dao Realm Dao Lord cannot easily deal with—any force that gains one can immediately become a top-tier super force."

"Your Highness's vision is truly extraordinary!" Uncle Fu sighed again.

"Just luck." Xuan Xiao's heart was also faintly surging.

After a pause, his expression became much more solemn: "Although the Transformation Dao Realm cannot easily deal with this kind of advanced mechanical life form, they can banish it. He can block for Lin Yang, but I estimate he will be banished soon. Tell Shadow Kill to be ready to use the Ancestor's Protection."

"Understood, Your Highness. But in doing so, it will let people know that he is a person of our Saint Xuan Ancient Country, and the other princes will definitely suspect each other." Uncle Fu said.

"The matter has reached this point; if it's exposed, so be it. Merely exposing that he is a person of the Saint Xuan Ancient Country—those guys probably won't act easily before they can determine whose Guest Retainer he is." Xuan Xiao said indifferently.

"That's true. Anyway, with Your Excellency Lin Yang's current strength, if the other Highnesses want to make a move, they have to invite a Myriad Laws Emperor, and Myriad Laws Emperors are not that easy to invite."

Uncle Fu was no longer very worried about the issue of Lin Yang's identity being exposed.

If the strength is strong enough, exposure doesn't really matter much.

Today, the surprise Lin Yang brought them was simply too great!

Equally excited were Lu Zhaolin, Lu Chongguang, and others.

Seeing that Lin Yang still had an advanced mechanical life form companion, they also felt that their decision to show goodwill to Lin Yang early on was incredibly wise.

Although it seemed that Lin Mu, this advanced mechanical life form, had not yet grown to his final stage.

But being able to withstand the attacks of a suspected Transformation Dao Realm existence was enough.

Naturally, some major forces in Endless Spacetime were already beginning to think about how to win over Lin Yang.

Even in some unique places, some Transformation Dao Realm Dao Lords were also paying attention to this battle.

In the center of the endless mountains filled with misty aura that Lin Yang sensed when he first entered Endless Spacetime.

Above the Black Water Marsh, the figure in the green robe looked at the giant hand of the Black Mist Figure, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes: "A strange Transformation Dao Realm aura, why would he take action?"

The Dao within the Universe Zone didn't have much use for the Ten Thousand Laws Realm, and it was even more useless for the Transformation Dao Realm.

A Transformation Dao Realm expert taking action against Lin Yang was indeed somewhat puzzling to the figure in the green robe.

"Could it be that it's not for the Dao? But for something else inside the Universe Zone?"

With a thought, the figure in the green robe also became curious about the Wan Qian Universe Zone.

Immediately, the figure disappeared from above the black water and plunged into Endless Spacetime.

At the Boundary Wall.

Lin Mu took a few more slaps.

But his body was able to withstand them every time.

This left Lin Yang speechless with shock.

Strong! Too strong!

"Lin Mu, are you... really okay?" Lin Yang was a little worried.

"Don't worry, Commander, my body can self-repair. I haven't grown to the final stage yet, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to damage my body at all." Lin Mu spoke, explaining his situation to Lin Yang.

At the same time, he also reminded him in a voice that only Lin Yang could hear: "Commander, although he can't do anything to me, he can banish me. I think he will think of this point soon. You should quickly think of other ways. Once I am banished, I won't be able to return in a short time."

"Banish?" Lin Yang heard this for the first time and was a little confused.

"Yes, banish. I am a mechanical life form. I am naturally unable to sense the existence of the Dao and cannot master any means of the Dao. But a cultivator can master various means. He can tear open space and banish me to another spacetime. I haven't grown and upgraded to the final stage, so I cannot resist his banishment for now." Lin Mu explained again.

This made Lin Yang realize that the problem had become serious again.

Once Lin Mu was banished, he would have no choice but to flee.

"Even with you, Lin Mu, blocking for me, even against the Transformation Dao Realm, I still cannot protect the Universe Zone."

There was an unspeakable discomfort in Lin Yang's heart.

"Commander, you have done enough; you don't need to feel ashamed or blame yourself!" Lin Mu comforted him instead.

"Sigh..." Lin Yang smiled bitterly.

He felt very depressed.

Because under normal circumstances, if it weren't for this Black Mist owner, he would have successfully defended the Universe Zone this time.

But it just so happened that this owner of the black mist knew he had the "Boundary" and took action against him.

This was why he had no way to continue defending the Universe Zone this time.

"Why would this guy know that I have the 'Boundary'?" Lin Yang was also very confused.

Except for Feng, who gave him the "Boundary," even the Silver-haired woman, Yue You, didn't know about the fact that he had the "Boundary."

Yue You had carefully probed his body and soul, and couldn't detect the existence of the "Boundary" within his soul.

But this Black Mist owner had concluded that he had the "Boundary" right away, which truly made Lin Yang very puzzled.

"He doesn't seem to have known I had the 'Boundary' only after I invoked its power to repair the Boundary Wall."

Lin Yang began to carefully recall the situation when the Black Mist owner first took action.

When the Black Mist owner first took action, he hadn't yet invoked the power of the "Boundary" to repair the Boundary Wall.

So this was enough to prove that the owner of the black mist must have suspected that he had the "Boundary" long ago; it was just that after he invoked the power of the "Boundary" to repair the Boundary Wall, he became completely certain of it.

"But how did he suspect that I had the 'Boundary' so long ago?"

Lin Yang whispered.

Suddenly, the System's voice sounded:

"Host, this System has detected that the black mist from just now is of the same origin as the black mist sacrificed by those Alien Race Old Ancestors you encountered when you were in the Ten Thousand Realms Universe Zone. Those black mists should have come from this Black Mist owner."

Lin Yang was stunned, and then realized, couldn't help but say: "You mean, those black mists in the Ten Thousand Realms Universe were left behind by this Dao Lord? And I used the 'Boundary' to absorb those powers back then, which led to him, the owner, sensing it, and thus knowing that I have the 'Boundary'?"

"Yes, Host, that should be correct." The System replied.

"This..." Lin Yang was speechless again.

If that was the case, it was truly too ironic.

"Fate plays tricks on people!"

Lin Yang had nothing to say.

Back then, it was the power of those black mists that activated the "Boundary."

Now, the other party appeared.

How is this not a cycle of cause and effect?

"Because the black mist activated the power of the 'Boundary,' it allowed me to advance by leaps and bounds. Now, it is time to pay the price."

Lin Yang sighed.

Cause and effect, reincarnation; it was true indeed.

"It seems that today, I am destined not to be able to protect the Universe Zone."

Having figured out the cause and effect, Lin Yang felt somewhat relieved.

Since it was cause and effect and destiny, it was indeed difficult for one person's power to resist it.

At the very least, he couldn't resist this Dao Lord-level existence for the time being.

"But I must find a way to preserve the source fire and take away the Source Star core."

Lin Yang began to make the worst-case preparations.

Since this owner of the black mist knew he had the "Boundary," he would inevitably try every means to hunt him down.

So today was not just a question of whether he could protect the Universe Zone; he also had to face the pursuit of a Transformation Dao Realm existence.

"Host, while Lin Mu has not been banished yet, you should go and collect the Source Star core first." The System suggested.

"Okay." Lin Yang nodded immediately and prepared to go to the Source Star.

But.

Just at this moment.

The cold voice of the Black Mist owner came again: "How interesting. A high-level special mechanical life form is indeed as the rumors say, even I cannot do anything to him. However, that's it for now. Get lost!"

Hum.

With the words, a spatial vortex appeared directly beside Lin Mu, carrying a terrifying suction force, and began to tear at Lin Mu.

Banishment!

Lin Yang's heart sank, and he also understood why the Black Mist owner didn't banish Lin Mu at the beginning.

It was because the Black Mist owner had never seen such a high-level mechanical Robot life form and was just curious.

Now that he had seen it, he didn't want to waste any more time and began to directly banish Lin Mu.

"Alright, kid, obediently hand over the 'Boundary', and I can spare your life." The Black Mist owner appeared as well.

His entire body was enveloped in a ball of black mist, making it impossible for anyone to see his face.

The cold words rang directly in Lin Yang's mind.

Apparently, this guy didn't seem to want outsiders to know that Lin Yang possessed the "Boundary."

And his words caused Lin Yang, who was about to have the System open an escape channel, to pause:

"You only want the 'Boundary', and you won't kill me?"

"Your life is worthless to me!"

The Black Mist Figure sneered.
