Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2495: Cooperation

With a swift movement, Yun Lintian unleashed a torrent of sword energy that ripped through the horde of Shadow Demons, their grotesque forms dissolving into nothingness as they were touched by the celestial blade.

The remaining Shadow Demons, sensing the immense power radiating from Yun Lintian, hesitated for a moment, their fear momentarily outweighing their bloodlust.

Xia Nongyue’s eyes, usually cold and impassive, widened slightly as she recognized the legendary weapon. It was the sword of Jian Yun, the Fleeting Cloud Sword Emperor of the Divine Realm. A flicker of surprise crossed her face, but it was quickly masked by her usual stoic demeanor.

Yun Lintian, oblivious to her inner turmoil, raised the Heaven Piercing Sword, its celestial light illuminating the grotesque forms of the Shadow Demons that surrounded them.

With a graceful flourish, he activated the God Mark of Thunder, the ancient symbol pulsating with a vibrant energy that crackled through the air.

Crackle!!

The chaotic energies within the rift responded to his call, converging upon the Heaven Piercing Sword, transforming it into a conduit of divine power. The blade crackled with a fearsome energy, arcs of lightning dancing across its surface, illuminating the battlefield with a blinding light.

“Go!”

With a battle cry that echoed through the rift, Yun Lintian unleashed a torrent of attacks, his swordsmanship a whirlwind of precision and power. Each strike was infused with the destructive force of thunder, the celestial energy tearing through the Shadow Demons’ defenses like a hot knife through butter.

The Shadow Demons, their grotesque forms unable to withstand the onslaught, shrieked in agony as their ethereal bodies were ripped apart. The air crackled with the scent of ozone as bolts of lightning arced across the battlefield, incinerating the demonic creatures, their forms dissolving into wisps of black smoke that were quickly swallowed by the chaotic maelstrom. Xia Nongyue, her gaze fixed on the Heaven Piercing Sword, watched the spectacle unfold with a mixture of awe and apprehension. She was curious on how the sword fell into this young man’s hand.

She pushed those thoughts aside, focusing instead on the battle at hand. With renewed vigor, she joined the fray, her own sword a blur of deadly precision as she weaved through the remaining Shadow Demons, her attacks complementing Yun Lintian’s devastating strikes.

The two cultivators fought in perfect harmony, their movements synchronized, their attacks complementing each other like a perfectly choreographed dance of death. It was as if they knew each other for a long time.

“Roar!” The Shadow Demons, overwhelmed by their combined might, fell one after another, their screeches of rage and despair echoing through the rift.

Yun Lintian, his senses heightened by the chaotic energies, moved with an almost preternatural grace. He anticipated the Shadow Demons’ attacks before they were launched, his sword intercepting their claws and fangs with pinpoint accuracy.

He channeled the power of the God Mark of Thunder, unleashing bolts of lightning that arced across the battlefield, striking the Shadow Demons with devastating force.

The creatures’ forms convulsed and spasmed as the celestial energy coursed through their bodies, their ethereal forms dissolving into nothingness.

Xia Nongyue, her movements as fluid as water, weaved through the remaining Shadow Demons, her sword a whisper of death that silenced their cries. Her attacks were precise and deadly, each strike finding its mark, severing limbs, piercing hearts, and decapitating heads. The Shadow Demons, their numbers dwindling rapidly, were driven back by the relentless assault. Their morale shattered, they turned to flee.

Yun Lintian curled his lips and raised his sword high before swinging it down. The sword energy instantly cut through the space.

Ripp-

One by one, the Shadow Demons fell, their forms dissolving into nothingness, their threat neutralized. Finally, the last demon was vanquished, its ethereal form dissipating into a wisp of smoke that was quickly swallowed by the swirling chaos.

Yun Lintian put the Heaven Piercing Sword away; it transformed into a necklace and wrapped around his neck.

“Not bad for your first cooperative effort. Don’t you think so?” he said with a faint smile. Xia Nongyue nodded curtly, her expression unreadable. She glanced at the necklace around his neck briefly and then at Hei Shou and Gui Xiao on his shoulders.

A flicker of curiosity crossed her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it. She was not one to pry into the affairs of others, especially not someone as enigmatic as Yun Lintian.

“Your God Mark is impressive,” Xia Nongyue said expressionlessly. “I have never seen such mastery before.”

“Thanks for the compliment,” Yun Lintian responded. “You’re not bad either. I can see that you didn’t even use twenty percent of your power.”

Xia Nongyue didn’t say anything. In this chaotic environment, it was unwise to go all out. After all, the only way to recover her energy safely was the Chaos Crystal, and it was too

precious.

Yun Lintian looked at her curiously. He was certain that she should have recognized the Heaven Piercing Sword and Gui Xiao. But Xia Nongyue’s lack of response was quite strange… Could it be she lost a part of her memory?

“Are you here to earn a chance to enter the Haven as well?” he asked.

Xia Nongyue glanced at him and said, “Yes.”

“Great!” Yun Lintian said with a smile. “How about we cooperate again? We will share the

Chaos Crystals equally.”

Xia Nongyue’s eyes flickered slightly. A moment later, she responded, “Sure.”

“Alright. Let’s go,” Yun Lintian said gently and flew away.

Xia Nongyue stared at him for a moment before chasing after him.

The two continued to venture deep into the Abyssal Rift. They would occasionally encounter Void Creatures and Shadow Demons, but with their cooperation, they could easily bring them

down.

“So, have you ever visited other kingdoms?” Yun Lintian asked to break the silence.

“Yes,” Xia Nongyue responded expressionlessly as usual, and there was no further comment. Yun Lintian was speechless inwardly. The reason he didn’t reveal himself as the successor of the Beyond Heaven King was that he wasn’t sure about her current attitude. After all, he didn’t know her personally.

Moreover, she should have lived here for a very long time. It was uncertain how much she was influenced by the environment here and the Divine Light Empress.

“Why do you want to enter the Haven?” he asked further. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Xia Nongyue glanced at him and asked, “Isn’t it normal for everyone to go there?”

“True. But I heard that none of them have ever returned,” Yun Lintian said. “Don’t you think it’s strange?”
