Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1501: 423: Homeward Journey and Unexpected Events (Double-Length, Finale Countdown: 28)

Against all odds, he stood alone to confront a pair of seventh realm immortals!

Balanced atop Cai Zun’s massive back and shielded by shimmering celestial garments, Lin Su kept his expression tight and focused. Beside him, Qiuqiu was drowning in a wave of guilt and bewilderment. Its divinations had clearly signaled that their path was safe. Why had the prediction failed so spectacularly? It wondered if a second calculation could have prevented this disaster, or if the Self Transformation Valley should have assigned another immortal to ensure their protection.

“Don't beat yourself up,” Lin Su said, his hand resting on Qiuqiu’s head as his grim look smoothed into a mask of calm. “If we had another immortal protector, I suspect the martial lineage would have simply deployed more resources to neutralize them. The end result would be identical.”

This trap was a calculated move by the Martial Lineage of the North Divine Region in league with the Hidden Illusion King and Yue Xie. They had undoubtedly planned for every variable. Now, his only task was to carve out a way to survive. Lin Su silently memorized the names of these unseen enemies from the North Divine Region. A moment later, his momentum exploded as a dark Cooperation Light enveloped him.

No matter how deep their schemes, they could not have anticipated his legendary breakthrough. They were unaware that his current power rivaled that of an actual immortal. He would use this hidden strength to tear a hole in their trap!

The Three Lives Mirror manifested behind Lin Su, surrounded by a swirling vortex of multicolored patterns. The distinct traits of his five minor beasts began to surface on his body, merging into a single form. He hadn't utilized the Five Dimensional Guardian Beast Co-operation since his demonstration for Ji Qinghuan after leaving the One Life Reincarnation Hall. Furthermore, this was the first time since Qiuqiu evolved into the Time Gap Spirit. He was eager to see the true form of his Future Mirror.

A fierce battle intent ignited in Lin Su’s eyes, and the Future Mirror behind him flared with brilliant light. A massive surge of time-attribute power burst from the vertical pupil on his forehead—a mirror image of Qiuqiu’s own—creating an illusory river of time that flowed directly beneath his feet. From the downstream of that ethereal river, a figure slowly emerged. Its presence was overwhelming, reaching the absolute peak of the sixth realm, distinct from Lin Su’s own aura.

This sudden eruption of power caused the three seventh realm immortals locked in combat to freeze in shock. Even Cai Zun, his own ally, was speechless. Was Lin Su truly this powerful? Did he even require protection? Meanwhile, the Hidden Illusion King and Yue Xie were struck with disbelief. The Hidden Illusion King was certain he had measured Lin Su’s strength accurately; to him, the boy was a mere ant. How could he suddenly wield such terrifying power?

Yue Xie was already screaming curses internally. The plan was a simple ambush on a human brat. Having to fight Cai Zun was a nuisance, but now the "ant" had transformed into a monster. The situation was becoming incredibly difficult.

However, Lin Su was just as shocked as his enemies. As he looked at his Future Mirror, his eyes widened in surprise. Unlike his current state, the Future Mirror was wrapped in an extra layer of light, and its cooperative appearance was different. It was demonstrating a Six Dimensional Guardian Beast Co-operation! He wondered what that sixth pet beast could be—perhaps Lanlan? He wanted to ask, but since the Future Mirror was only a temporal projection and not a true traveler from the future, communication was impossible.

Pushing his curiosity aside, Lin Su focused on the battle. He leapt from the safety of Cai Zun’s celestial garments, flanked by his Future Mirror. Gripping the spear that was Youyou’s true form, he lunged at the Hidden Illusion King, the weaker of the two immortals. “Cai Zun, I’m joining the fight!”

With every step, Lin Su was consumed by the roaring True Phoenix Flame. Thanks to the recovery rules provided by Tata, he was immune to the flame’s destructive backlash. Radiant light beamed from his eyes as he channeled his time-system power once again. It felt as though he were stepping directly into the future, causing his momentum to spike violently. Before the stunned eyes of the three immortals, Lin Su’s power reached its absolute peak.

He invoked the time-system teaching skill: Fragrant Moment. This was a combination that even Qiuqiu could not master on its own. Ordinarily, using Fragrant Moment alongside the Future Mirror would destabilize the Three Lives Mirror because the two powers would clash. But Lin Su succeeded where others failed because he had another pet beast capable of using the skill: Youyou.

He was currently tapping into Youyou’s specific reservoir of power. If an emperor rank beast with two billion energy units used Fragrant Moment, what would it become? The answer was an immortal of the second realm. When merged with the strength of his other beasts, Lin Su’s power surged to the pinnacle of the sixth realm, perfectly matching the shadow from the Future Mirror.

The True Phoenix Flame intensified, and under Lin Su’s command, the Future Mirror unleashed its own torrent of celestial fire. These vast, endless flames tore through the void and shook the heavens, carrying the essence of ultimate shattering rules. A sea of pale fire spanning ten thousand meters threatened to erase everything in existence, forming a massive phoenix silhouette that towered over the battlefield, driven by the combined will of Lin Su and his future self.
