Myth Beyond Heaven

2237 Trouble

Yun Lintian turned to look at the newcomer and said nothing.

“Allow me to introduce myself. I am Venerable Darkness, Kong Cheng. Your extraordinary bearing aroused my interest. How about you introduce yourself? Which faction do you hail from?” Venerable Darkness said with a faint smile.

“I believe there’s no grudge between us. Why did you attack me for no reason?” Yun Lintian asked calmly.

“Hehe. It can’t be helped. You’ve seen too much,” Venerable Darkness said with a chuckle. “Besides, I am interested in your power. Perhaps I can make the strongest puppet with your Divine Core.”

“I’ve seen too much?” Yun Lintian said with an indifferent smile. “Don’t you think that’s a bit ridiculous? You’ve clearly shown it to me yourself.”

He paused briefly and flicked his wrist gently.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, all the puppets surrounding Huang Ba exploded into pieces.

Venerable Darkness narrowed his eyes upon seeing this. He couldn’t even detect Yun Lintian’s energy fluctuation. How did Yun Lintian do it?

Yun Lintian looked directly at Venerable Darkness and said calmly, “Making a puppet with my Divine Core? You’ve overestimated yourself.”

Buzz—

In that instant, the surrounding darkness solidified and rapidly dissipated.

Huang Ba and the other passengers immediately regained their senses. The first sight they saw was numerous puppet remains scattered around the deck.

Huang Ba turned around and saw Venerable Darkness. His expression turned solemn as he walked towards Yun Lintian.

“Brother Yun,” he said while staring at Venerable Darkness.

Yun Lintian opened his palm, and the darkness immediately gathered, forming a black energy ball.

Venerable Darkness’ pupils shrank. The darkness was created by his power and profound law. It should be impossible for anyone to control it, especially someone weaker than him like Yun Lintian. The only explanation was that Yun Lintian’s profound law of darkness was far superior to his!

A hint of hesitation appeared in Venerable Darkness’ heart for the first time. Initially, he had no intention of targeting Yun Lintian, but he couldn’t resist his greed. Yun Lintian was superb material for making a puppet, and such an opportunity was hard to come by.

However, his pride didn’t allow him to back down, not to mention the punishment he would possibly face later.

Venerable Darkness calmed down and said, “I’ve underestimated you. But do you think you can fight me here?”

“Fight?” Yun Lintian chuckled, his voice echoing with an otherworldly resonance. “There’s no need for a fight.”

He raised his hand, and the black energy ball in his palm grew larger, pulsating with a terrifying power that seemed to distort the very fabric of reality.

Venerable Darkness felt a chill run down his spine. He had never encountered such a profound understanding of the Law of Darkness. It was as if Yun Lintian was the embodiment of darkness itself.

“How arrogant.” Venerable Darkness uttered coldly, his pride wounded. He unleashed his own Law of Darkness, summoning a storm of shadows that swirled around him like a vortex.

Boom!

The two forces of darkness collided, creating a shockwave that rippled through the air, shattering the deck beneath their feet. The ship groaned and creaked as it was caught in the epicenter of the clash.

Huang Ba and the other passengers were thrown off their feet, scrambling for cover as the battle raged around them.

Yun Lintian remained calm and composed, his eyes fixed on Venerable Darkness. He gently pushed his palm forward, and the black energy ball surged forward, engulfing Venerable Darkness’s storm of shadows.

Venerable Darkness’s expression turned solemn. He poured more of his profound energy into his attack, but it was like trying to extinguish a raging inferno with a bucket of water.

The black energy ball continued to advance, slowly but surely overwhelming his defenses.

A look of desperation appeared in Venerable Darkness’s eyes. He realized that he had underestimated Yun Lintian. This young man was not just a talented cultivator; he was a monster!

“Get lost!” With a final roar of defiance, Venerable Darkness unleashed all of his remaining power, creating a massive explosion of darkness that engulfed the entire ship.

BOOM!

The explosion of darkness was a cataclysmic event, a maelstrom of shadows that threatened to consume everything in its path. The front part of the ship, already battered and weakened, was torn asunder, its fragments scattered across the turbulent waves.

When the dust settled, the scene was one of utter devastation. The once majestic vessel was cut in half. The bow was nowhere to be seen.

The passengers, those who had survived the initial blast, clung desperately to whatever wreckage they could find, their faces etched with terror and despair.

Amidst the chaos, two figures remained standing.

Yun Lintian, his white robes billowing in the wind, stood tall and proud, his expression unchanged. Not a single hair on his head was out of place.

Venerable Darkness, on the other hand, was a shadow of his former self. His once imposing figure was now hunched and withered, his dark robes tattered and torn. His face, once filled with arrogance and pride, was now contorted in pain and anger. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

“Impossible…” he muttered, his voice barely a whisper. “How can you be so strong?”

Yun Lintian’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Strength is not just about power,” he said. “It is about understanding.”

Venerable Darkness looked at him with disbelief. “Understanding? What do you understand that I don’t?”

“You understand the darkness,” Yun Lintian replied. “But I am the darkness.”

Venerable Darkness’s eyes widened in comprehension. He finally understood the difference between them. He had always seen darkness as a tool, a weapon to be used to achieve his goals. But Yun Lintian saw darkness as a part of himself, an extension of his very being.

This was the true meaning of the Law of Darkness. It was not about controlling darkness; it was about becoming one with it.

Venerable Darkness let out a sigh of resignation. He knew that he had been defeated, not by brute force, but by a deeper understanding of the very essence of darkness.

“You have won,” he said, his voice filled with bitterness. “But this is not the end. You’ve already been placed on our organization’s kill list.”

Yun Lintian sighed inwardly. Why did trouble always find him?

“It doesn’t matter,” he said calmly. “I’ll simply eliminate them as I encounter them.”

“It seems you have no idea about us.” Venerable Darkness said with a faint smile. “Unfortunately, I have no chance to see that day. The day you will become our puppet.”

Slowly, his body began to transform into a mass of darkness, writhing and pulsating…
