Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2360: Passage (2)

As Yun Lintian released his power, the surrounding turbulence began to calm down. He quickly moved forward and finally arrived before the World Tree.

Rustle-

Suddenly, the World Tree responded to Yun Lintian’s approach. Its branches rustled, and its leaves quivered, creating a symphony of whispers that echoed through the underground world. It was as if the tree was welcoming a long-lost friend.

Yun Lintian felt a strange sense of familiarity wash over him. The tree’s presence resonated with him on a deep level, stirring emotions he couldn’t quite understand.

“Interesting,” Yue Yun muttered, watching the scene with keen eyes. She sensed a profound connection between Yun Lintian and the World Tree.

Yun Lintian extended his hand, his palm gently touching the rough bark of the World Tree. A surge of energy flowed through him, carrying with it a wealth of information and memories that were not his own.

Images flashed before his eyes: a world of breathtaking beauty, filled with life and light. A majestic tree stood at its center, its branches stretching across the heavens, its roots delving deep into the earth. It was the heart of this world, the source of its vitality.

But then, darkness descended. A cataclysmic event shattered the world, leaving it in ruins.

The tree, once a symbol of life, was now a lone sentinel, struggling to survive in a desolate wasteland.

“Hooo.” Yun Lintian gasped, overwhelmed by the emotions that flooded his heart. He felt the tree’s sorrow, its loneliness, its desperate struggle for survival.

“Let me help you,” Yun Lintian said, his voice filled with determination.

He closed his eyes and channeled the power of the Tree of Life within him. A green light enveloped his body, and the air around him crackled with life energy.

He then infused the tree with the Great Law of Life, further strengthening its vitality.

The World Tree responded eagerly, absorbing the life energy like a parched desert soaking up rain. Its leaves regained their luster, and the golden light from its trunk grew brighter and steadier.

As the World Tree regained its strength, the turbulence behind the passage began to calm down. The energy vortex above stabilized, and the swirling clouds of energy that formed the walls of the abyss solidified.

Yun Lintian seized this opportunity to take a glimpse toward the world beyond the wall. He focused his gaze on the energy vortex, activating the Eyes of Heaven to their fullest extent.

A shiver ran down Yun Lintian’s spine as he peered into the world beyond the Primal Chaos Wall. It was a horrifying wasteland. The sky was a sickly gray, torn asunder by jagged cracks that pulsed with malevolent energy. The land was barren and desolate, littered with the skeletal remains of colossal creatures.

The air hummed with an unsettling dissonance, a cacophony of destructive laws vying for dominance. Death hung heavy in the atmosphere, a palpable presence that sent a chill through Yun Lintian’s soul.

He tried to look away, but his gaze was drawn to a movement in the distance. A colossal figure emerged from the haze, its form shrouded in an impenetrable darkness. It was vaguely humanoid, but its proportions were monstrously distorted. Its limbs were long and spindly, ending in razor-sharp claws. Its head was a grotesque mass of tentacles and fangs, and its eyes burned with an unholy light.

The creature seemed to sense Yun Lintian’s gaze. It turned its head, its baleful eyes meeting his across the vast expanse of the shattered world. Yun Lintian felt a wave of overwhelming power wash over him, crushing him under its weight. He struggled to breathe, his heart pounding in his chest.

The creature tilted its head, as if curious about the insignificant being that dared to observe it. Then, with a slow, deliberate movement, it turned away and vanished back into the haze.

Yun Lintian’s legs shook uncontrollably. He had just glimpsed a being of unimaginable power, a creature that existed on a plane far beyond his comprehension.

“That was the Void Creature… The General Class one.” Yue Yun unknowingly arrived beside Yun Lintian. Her eyes brimmed with murderous aura as she stared into the wasteland beyond the passage.

“A Void Creature?” Yun Lintian couldn’t help but take a deep breath to calm down. He now understood why Dao Ling said that even a Primordial God might have a hard time against it.

“Afraid?” Yue Yun looked at him with contempt.

Yun Lintian shook his head and said, “It was a natural instinct to be afraid of the unknown. This is the first time I’ve encountered something this terrifying.”

“Well, it’s good, I guess. At least you are not getting carried away by your recent achievements.” Yue Yun chuckled.

On the side, Yue Chuntao furrowed her brow tightly. Although she hadn’t seen it, she could feel the terrifying aura from the creature. It was beyond anything she had ever met… Without a doubt, her current strength wasn’t enough.

A sense of urgency emerged in Yue Chuntao’s heart again. She thought that she could at least catch up with Yun Lintian, but it was clearly far off.

Yun Lintian looked at Yue Yun and asked, “I saw a part of a memory left behind inside the Moon Graveyard. It was you who fought against the Shadow Demons, right?”

“Yes,” Yue Yun replied truthfully. “There are many creatures outside the Primal Chaos. The Shadow Demon and the Void Creature are the strongest so far.”

“How did you survive?” Yun Lintian had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

“It’s a long story. You don’t have to know.” Yue Yun refused to answer. “In short, I was lucky enough. This time, I must avenge my mother.”

She stared at the wasteland coldly.

Yun Lintian had so many questions in his head, but he held back. Clearly, Yue Yun didn’t want

to tell him for some reason.

Feeling her mood, Yun Lintian suddenly felt heartache. He wanted to pull her into his embrace and comfort her.

What’s wrong with me? Yun Lintian was startled by his own thoughts.

He took a deep breath and said, “Let’s fight together this time.”

Yue Yun took a deep look at him and asked, “I have a question.”

“Ask away,” Yun Lintian motioned with his chin.

“What would you do if your women died in the enemy’s hands?” Yue Yun asked in a deep voice. It was as if his answer was extremely important to her.

Yun Lintian’s expression turned cold. “Of course. I will avenge them even if it costs my life.”

Yue Yun stared at Yun Lintian for a long time and said, “Good. I hope you keep your word.”
