Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2146 Undefeated (1)

?BOOOOOM!!

From within the depths of the tomb, an explosion erupted. Two figures emerged, hurriedly distancing themselves from each other.

One was the imposing Hell Asura, clad in obsidian armor that bore the scars of battle – several cracks marred its surface, and the black lance he wielded hung limply, its menacing luster dulled.

The other figure, contrasting the Hell Asura’s ferocity, landed with a gentle grace. His pristine robes and unwavering calm demeanor spoke volumes. His eyes, blazing with an intensity that mirrored a thousand supernovae, fixed upon Si Junyi, who stood resolutely behind the Hell Asura.

This formidable figure was none other than Zhan You, the Heaven Severing War God – leader of the Primordial God Tribe’s expedition.

“This must be the final asura your master left behind,” Zhan You remarked coolly.

Si Junyi, his expression betraying no hint of surprise, replied, “I must say, your survival is unexpected. It appears the rumors of your invincibility hold merit.”

“Your ambition is admirable, but it disrupts the balance of the Primal Chaos,” Zhan You said calmly.

Si Junyi scoffed. “Disrupts the balance? Don’t mock me. You know precisely who’s responsible for the current state – not me, not Yun Lintian.”

Zhan You narrowed his eyes. “I mistook you for sharing his ignorance.”

Si Junyi’s smile widened. “You better pray he remains so. Once he knew everything, all of you would be in trouble.”

The two titans locked eyes, a silent challenge crackling between them.

Zhan You, unfazed by Si Junyi’s veiled threat, rumbled, “Then let him learn. Ignorance is no excuse for meddling with forces beyond his comprehension.”

Si Junyi’s smile faltered for a fleeting moment, a flicker of unease crossing his eyes before it was masked by a sardonic chuckle. “Comprehension, you say? Tell me, War God, how much do you truly understand?”

Zhan You ignored the bait, his gaze unwavering. The air crackled with anticipation as he raised a hand, his palm crackling with vibrant crimson energy. “Enough to banish your misguided puppet.”

The crimson energy coalesced, taking the form of a colossal fireball that pulsed with an inferno’s fury. The Law of Fire, wielded by the Heaven Severing War God himself, thrummed with a power that could melt mountains and vaporize oceans.

Si Junyi locked eyes with Zhan You, a shiver running down his spine despite the War God’s reputation. The raw power of the Law of Fire, unleashed at such close range, was undeniable.

The Hell Asura, sensing the shift in tension, stepped forward, the crimson-black aura swirling around him intensifying with each step. Its obsidian armor clanged ominously. A low growl rumbled from its masked visage. It was far from defeated.

“Roar!” 𝘧𝘳𝘸𝓿.𝘤ℴ𝘮

A primal roar erupted from the Hell Asura, shaking the very foundations of the tomb. Its obsidian armor, though battered, seemed to mend itself ever so slightly, the cracks shimmering with a malevolent energy. The black lance, no longer limp, was held high, its tip crackling with a dark, necrotic power.

Zhan You watched with detached amusement. “Foolish creature,” he muttered. Then, with a flick of his wrist, the fireball streaked forward, leaving a trail of searing heat in its wake.

The Hell Asura met the fiery projectile head-on. Its lance plunged forward, the dark energy swirling within it clashing with the Law of Fire in a deafening explosion.

BOOM!

The shockwave rippled outwards, sending plumes of dust flying and causing the very walls of the tomb to groan in protest.

The air crackled with chaotic energy as Hell Asura’s necrotic power wrestled with Zhan You’s celestial fire. The resulting explosion ripped through the tomb, leaving behind a crater where the asura had stood moments ago. Yet, the monstrous figure wasn’t finished.

Emerging from the smoke and dust, the Hell Asura lumbered forward, its obsidian armor fused back together, albeit with a dull sheen replacing its previous menacing luster. It moved like a wounded beast, its every step a testament to its waning strength.

Zhan You, however, did not underestimate his opponent. He raised a hand, crimson energy condensing around his fist. This time, the Law of Explosion crackled alongside the Law of Fire, promising a devastating impact.

Si Junyi, despite the chaos unfolding before him, remained remarkably calm. His gaze flitted between the two combatants. He knew the current Hell Asura wouldn’t last much longer against the War God’s relentless assault.

“Go down!” With a thunderous yell, Zhan You unleashed his attack. His fist, a blazing meteor of condensed fire and explosive energy, slammed into Hell Asura’s chest.

BANG!!

The impact sent a shockwave rolling through the tomb, shaking the entire space.

“ROAR!!” The Hell Asura roared, a sound of unbridled agony, as its body was sent flying backward. It slammed against the tomb wall with a sickening crunch, its obsidian armor fracturing in several places.

Dust rained down as the very structure trembled under the blow.

Undeterred, Zhan You pressed the attack. He moved like a whirlwind, a storm of celestial fury. Each blow, fueled by the Laws of Fire and Explosion, rained down upon the fallen asura.

Boom! Boom! BOOM!!

The tomb reverberated with the sickening sounds of impacts, cracks forming in the walls as if mirroring the fractures in the asura’s armor.

The once-imposing asura was reduced to a whimpering mess on the tomb floor, its obsidian armor hanging in tatters, revealing patches of blackened, corrupted flesh beneath. It twitched feebly, its remaining breaths coming in ragged gasps.

Finally, Zhan You raised his foot, poised to deliver the final, crushing blow.

Bang!

Zhan You tilted his head playfully, amusement flickering in his eyes as he addressed Si Junyi. “Planning to sit this one out? It would be a shame to extinguish the last asura so easily.”

A guttural groan escaped the Hell Asura as he strained, clearly urging Si Junyi to flee.

Unfazed, Si Junyi met Zhan You’s gaze, a faint smile gracing his lips. “You have made a mistake… A very big one.”

Zhan You brows raised slightly. He couldn’t understand the meanings behind Si Junyi’s words.

A cold dread suddenly washed over Zhan You. It wasn’t the sight of the groaning Hell Asura or the defiance in Si Junyi’s eyes; it was a shift in the very fabric of reality.

The air, once charged with the vibrant energies of his own Laws, grew thick and stagnant. A pervasive chill settled in, replacing the fiery heat of his attack.

Si Junyi’s smile widened, the amusement no longer playful but laced with a cruel satisfaction. “You see, War God,” he rasped, his voice edged with newfound power, “you underestimated the true purpose of the asura. It wasn’t a mindless puppet, but a key, a conduit.”
