Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2494: Devour (2)

The World Eater was undeterred. With a resounding bellow that shook the foundations of the rift, it unleashed a counterattack, a surge of pure, primordial energy that collided with the

black hole.

BOOOOM!!

The clash was cataclysmic, a collision of cosmic forces that sent shockwaves rippling through the Abyssal Rift.

The black hole, unable to withstand the onslaught of the World Eater’s power, imploded upon itself, its immense gravitational pull collapsing inwards, its destructive potential neutralized.

The two General Class Void Creatures, their forms weakened and battered by the backlash of their own attack, were left vulnerable.

The World Eater, seizing the opportunity, unleashed its full might, its colossal maw opening wide, revealing a gaping abyss that promised oblivion.

With a terrifying roar that echoed through the rift, the World Eater unleashed its devouring power, a force that consumed all in its path.

“NO!!” The two General Class Void Creatures, their struggles futile against the overwhelming suction, were drawn inexorably towards the World Eater’s maw.

Their screams of terror and defiance were swallowed by the chaotic maelstrom, their forms distorting and stretching as they were pulled closer to their doom. Within moments, they vanished into the World Eater’s endless gullet, their existence extinguished, their threat to the universe neutralized.

The World Eater, its hunger satiated, its power undiminished, closed its maw with a satisfied rumble. The chaotic energies within the rift gradually subsided, returning to their previous state of turbulent calm.

Outside the spatial rift, Yun Lintian, Qi Jian, and Qi Xun watched in awe and trepidation, their hearts filled with a mixture of relief and fear. They had witnessed the raw power of the World Eater, a force that defied comprehension, a being that stood as a guardian against the encroaching chaos.

“What terrifying power,” Qi Xun said with a trembling voice.

Yun Lintian took a deep breath and turned to Qi Jian and Qi Xun. He raised his hand and threw two storage rings toward them. “Take these.”

Qi Jian and Qi Xun received the rings and saw a pile of Chaos Crystals inside.

“Young Master Yun, we…” Qi Jian wanted to say something but was interrupted by Yun Lintian.

“Take them,” Yun Lintian said. “I will move alone from here on. You two shouldn’t go deeper. Clearly, something is happening here.”

Qi Xun’s expression changed. “It is our duty to protect you, Young Master Yun. We cannot leave you.”

“I’ll be fine,” Yun Lintian said. “I cannot let you two take a risk for me. Senior Qi will definitely understand. You don’t have to worry. Also, it’s best for you to leave this place. Go back and tell Elder Qi that they should strengthen the defense around their kingdom.”

Qi Jian and Qi Xun hesitated briefly and responded, “Understood.”

Yun Lintian smiled and patted Qi Jian’s shoulder gently. “Take care.”

With that, he transformed into a shadow and rushed into the Abyssal Rift, disappearing into the endless darkness under the watchful gazes of the two.

“Brother Jian…” Qi Xun said hesitantly.

“Let’s leave,” Qi Jian said. “He’s right. There’s something going on here, and it’s beyond our capability.”

The two didn’t say anything further and quickly left.

Yun Lintian ventured deeper into the labyrinthine depths of the Abyssal Rift, his silhouette a fleeting shadow against the backdrop of swirling chaos. The air thrummed with an oppressive energy, a symphony of destruction and creation playing out in a never-ending cycle.

The further he descended, the more pronounced the distortions in reality became, space and time twisting and folding in upon themselves like a surreal tapestry woven by a mad deity.

Along his path, he encountered clusters of Chaos Crystals, their crystalline structures shimmering with an ethereal light amidst the darkness. With a practiced ease, he collected these treasures, their potent energy resonating with his own, adding to his growing reserves of power.

The deeper he ventured, the more treacherous the terrain became. Spatial turbulences, like invisible whirlpools, threatened to tear him apart, their chaotic energies capable of shredding even the most seasoned cultivator.

Yun Lintian, with his profound understanding of the Law of Space, navigated these treacherous currents with an almost instinctive grace, his movements fluid and precise, his body adapting to the ever-changing environment.

Bang!

Suddenly, a commotion in the distance caught his attention. A figure, clad in flowing white robes, was engaged in a fierce battle against a horde of grotesque Shadow Demons.

The figure moved with a cold, calculated precision, her sword flashing like lightning as she cut down her foes. Yet, despite her skill, she was clearly outnumbered, the Shadow Demons pressing their attack with relentless ferocity.

Yun Lintian recognized the figure instantly. It was Xia Nongyue.

Yun Lintian’s eyes narrowed as he watched Xia Nongyue’s graceful yet relentless dance of death amidst the horde of Shadow Demons. Her elegant swordsmanship was something he had never seen before.

With a surge of his divine energy, Yun Lintian propelled himself forward, his movements a blur as he weaved through the chaotic battlefield. He arrived beside Xia Nongyue in a blink, his arrival unnoticed by the Shadow Demons who were focused solely on their current

opponent.

“Need a hand?” Yun Lintian asked, his voice calm and collected.

Xia Nongyue, her expression unchanging despite the sudden appearance beside her, turned her icy gaze towards Yun Lintian. Her sword, a blur of deadly precision, continued its dance of death, weaving through the grotesque forms of the Shadow Demons that swarmed around

her.

“Who are you?” she asked, her voice as cold and sharp as her blade.

Yun Lintian, unfazed by her frosty demeanor, merely smiled faintly. “A fellow cultivator,” he replied. “And perhaps, a temporary ally.”

Xia Nongyue’s eyes narrowed, her suspicion evident. “An ally?” she scoffed. “Why would a stranger offer aid to someone they do not know?”

Yun Lintian shrugged nonchalantly. “Perhaps I have a penchant for assisting damsels in distress,” he said, his tone lighthearted. “Or perhaps, I simply dislike seeing such a skilled swordswoman overwhelmed by such unsightly creatures.”

Xia Nongyue’s lips curled into a sardonic smile. “Flattery will get you nowhere,” she said, her voice dripping with disdain. “State your purpose, or leave.”

Yun Lintian chuckled softly. “Very well,” he said, his amusement growing. “I am Yun Lintian,

a cultivator seeking to unravel the secrets of this Abyssal Rift. And as for my purpose, it seems our goals align, at least for now. These Shadow Demons are a nuisance, and their eradication

benefits us both.”

Without waiting for her response, Yun Lintian drew his sword, the Heaven Piercing Sword humming with a celestial energy that seemed to illuminate the chaotic darkness…
