Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2356: A Worthy Opponent

Zhan You’s domain, its purpose fulfilled, began to collapse. The blood-soaked earth and crimson sky faded away, replaced by the familiar emptiness of the void.

Yun Lintian stood amidst the wreckage, his chest heaving with exertion. The Heaven Piercing Sword and the elemental swords floated beside him, their blades now dimmed, their energy spent.

He looked at the spot where Zhan You had fallen, a flicker of pity crossing his eyes. Despite being enemies, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of respect for the War God, a warrior who had fought with unwavering determination until the very end.

What he couldn’t understand was Zhan You’s purpose in serving the Primordial God Tribe. There must be a reason for this.

He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath as he allowed the exhaustion to wash over him. The battle had been long and arduous, pushing him to the very limits of his strength and endurance.

Yun Lintian slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze immediately landed on Dao Ling, who stood there in shock, having forgotten to run. Perhaps he knew that running was futile and had already resigned himself to his fate.

With a wave of his hand, Dao Ling was mercilessly pulled towards Yun Lintian. The Netherworld Compass in his hand immediately slipped out and rushed into Yun Lintian’s hand, rubbing against it intimately.

Yun Lintian looked at the compass in surprise. He could feel a strange connection between him and the compass. It was as if they had known each other for a long time.

Dao Ling woke up from his stupor but did not attempt to escape. He looked at Yun Lintian with fear and pleaded, “Spare me! I can be your loyal dog! I know a lot of things about the Primordial God Tribe.”

Yun Lintian frowned slightly and turned to look at the hole in the barrier. “Can you fix this?” he asked.

Dao Ling quickly shook his head. “I can’t. This barrier was created by the God of Fate himself. No one can fix it,” he answered.

Yun Lintian furrowed his brow. This would be dangerous for the Divine Realm’s citizens if it was left open.

At this moment, Yue Yun appeared by his side and snatched the Netherworld Compass away from his hand. Surprisingly, the compass had no reaction and obediently laid in her palm.

Yue Yun fiddled with it a few times as she said, “So, this is one of the three pillars of the Netherworld. Although its power has declined significantly, it’s not too bad.”

She glanced at Dao Ling and asked, “Where is your master?”

“I-I don’t know,” Dao Ling stammered. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead. “He has never appeared in front of us. Normally, he would contact us through his maidservant.”

“Let me guess. His maidservant is Tantai Lanling?” Yue Yun said. Her eyes flickered with murderous intent.

“Y-Yes.” Dao Ling was surprised and curious about this woman’s identity.

“Tantai Lanling?” Yun Lintian frowned slightly. “Why do I feel like the name is familiar?”

Yue Yun didn’t explain anything. She continued to ask, “What’s his goal here?”

Dao Ling quickly replied, “Aside from taking our native land back, the Primordial God Forsaken Land is our main target. Countless gods have fallen there. We are looking for their legacy.”

“That’s it?” Yue Yun narrowed her eyes.

Dao Ling hesitated briefly and said, “There’s a rumor among us. We believe that there is a channel to the world beyond the Primal Chaos Wall inside.”

Yun Lintian and the others were surprised to hear this. They suddenly thought of Yun Tian, Xia Nongyue, Cai Xieren, and Yao Xi who were said to have disappeared into the dark abyss inside the Primordial God Forsaken Land. Could it be… they had gone to the outside world?

Yue Yun’s expression turned serious. As someone who had experienced a war with the outlaws, she knew what this represented. If there truly was a passage to the outside world, it would definitely be the fatal weakness of the Primal Chaos. She must find a way to seal it.

Right now, it wasn’t the right time for Yun Lintian to face the outlaws. At least, he must wait until he entered the True God Realm and fully mastered the Chaos power. Otherwise, it would be a disaster, and history would repeat itself again, just like what happened to her home world.

Suddenly, the Moon Staff appeared in Yue Yun’s hand and her aura surged.

“Moon mending the sky,” she uttered softly.

Dao Ling’s expression changed dramatically as he felt an immense, boundless aura emanating from Yue Yun and the Moon Staff in her hand. He had seen the records about the Moon Staff. This was the legendary weapon of the Moon God, the ultimate treasure of the Divine Moon Clan!

Buzz-

A terrifying moonlight energy gushed out from the Moon Staff and filled the entire void. The power was so overwhelming that everyone present, except Yun Lintian, couldn’t even stand

up straight.

A colossal moon phantom manifested behind Yue Yun, its radiant light illuminating the surrounding space with an ethereal glow. The phantom’s gentle yet powerful aura washed over everyone, bringing a sense of tranquility and peace.

Yue Yun raised the Moon Staff and pointed it towards the broken barrier.

“Mend.”

A beam of moonlight shot out from the Moon Staff and landed on the shattered barrier. The shattered pieces trembled violently as if they had gained life. They began to move, rearranging themselves, slowly closing the gap in the barrier.

Everyone watched in awe as the barrier gradually healed, the cracks and fissures disappearing one by one. The moonlight energy from the Moon Staff seemed to weave a delicate tapestry of light, mending the broken barrier with an otherworldly precision.

Within moments, the barrier was completely restored, its shimmering surface once again reflecting the vast expanse of the starry sky. The Divine Realm was once again sealed, safe from the prying eyes and greedy hands of the Primordial God Tribe.

A collective sigh of relief swept through the crowd. They had witnessed a miracle, a testament to the Moon God’s power and Yue Yun’s mastery over it.

“Thank you,” Yun Lintian said sincerely, looking at Yue Yun with gratitude in his eyes.

Yue Yun said indifferently. “It’s nothing. It’s my responsibility to protect this world.”

She turned to Dao Ling, her expression hardening. “As for you…”

Dao Ling’s face paled.

“Please, spare me!” he pleaded, his voice trembling with fear. “I can still be useful to you! I know many secrets of the Primordial God Tribe!”

Yue Yun’s eyes narrowed. “Secrets?” she asked, a hint of curiosity in her voice. “Tell me about

it.”
