Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2499: True Face (2)

Ju Liang, his eyes narrowed in concentration, channeled his chaotic energy, the space around him distorting and warping as he prepared to unleash his true power. With a guttural incantation, he activated his domain, transforming the surrounding space into his own pocket world.

The chaotic energies surged and swirled, obeying Ju Liang’s command, reshaping the landscape into a nightmarish vision. The entire space was completely dark. The light from Yun Lintian’s sword was like a tiny candle. The air crackled with an oppressive weight, a suffocating pressure that threatened to crush Yun Lintian’s very soul.

Yun Lintian frowned slightly. “It seems my guess is correct. You must have the bloodline of the Shadow Demon and the Void Creature,” he said in a deep voice.

From the moment Ju Liang used his power, Yun Lintian had suspected this. Ju Liang’s power was similar to the Void Creature’s and the Shadow Demon’s. And now, his domain had proven it.

“Welcome to my world,” Ju Liang sneered, his voice resonating with an almost godly power. “Here, I am the master of all creation. Your paltry skills are meaningless against my absolute control.”

Yun Lintian curled his lips. “An impressive display, I must say. Come. Show me what you’ve got.”

Ju Liang furrowed his brow slightly. He couldn’t understand why Yun Lintian was exceptionally calm under such circumstances.

He waved his hand, and countless shadow lances appeared around Yun Lintian before rushing toward him from all directions.

The shadow lances, imbued with the essence of the void, hurtled towards Yun Lintian, their movements erratic and unpredictable, their tips glinting with sinister darkness.

Yun Lintian, however, remained unfazed. He raised the Heaven Piercing Sword, its celestial light shining even brighter in the face of the encroaching darkness.

BOOM!!

With a single, graceful motion, Yun Lintian unleashed a wave of celestial energy, a radiant force that clashed with the shadowy tendrils. The energy rippled outward, shattering the darkness and dispelling the oppressive silence. The shadow lances, their power neutralized, dissipated into nothingness.

Ju Liang’s eyes widened in surprise. He had never encountered such a potent force, a light that could dispel the very darkness he had created. He quickly realized that Yun Lintian’s mastery of the Law of Light was far beyond his expectations.

Undeterred, Ju Liang channeled his chaotic energy, manipulating the space around him to create a swirling vortex of darkness. The vortex grew larger and larger, threatening to engulf Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian raised the Heaven Piercing Sword, its celestial light cutting through the darkness like a beacon of hope. With a single, powerful strike, he unleashed a wave of energy, shattering the vortex and dispersing the chaotic energy.

Ju Liang, his expression darkening, unleashed another attack. This time, he summoned a legion of shadow creatures, their forms twisting and contorting, their eyes glowing with an unnatural intensity. The creatures lunged at Yun Lintian, their claws outstretched, their teeth bared.

Yun Lintian, again, raised his sword, its light illuminating the darkness, and with a single, powerful strike, he cleaved through the legion of shadow creatures, their forms dissipating into nothingness.

Ju Liang, realizing the futility of his attacks, resorted to a more direct approach. He transformed his own body into a shadow, a formless entity that could move through the shadows, striking without warning. He appeared behind Yun Lintian, his shadow lance aimed at the back of his neck.

Yun Lintian seemed to anticipate his move. With a swift turn, he parried Ju Liang’s attack, the Heaven Piercing Sword clashing against the shadow lance.

BANG!

A powerful shockwave erupted from the point of impact, sending ripples through the space. “Your power is borrowed, it seems,” Yun Lintian said calmly.

Ju Liang frowned deeply as he reappeared a few kilometers away. He finally knew that he wasn’t Yun Lintian’s match. However, his dignity as a Chaos Knight prevented him from running away from the battle.

“Very well,” Ju Liang said calmly. “Let’s see if you can handle this.”

Buzz-

With a surge of chaotic energy, Ju Liang transformed the entire space into a swirling maelstrom of darkness. The very fabric of reality began to unravel, the space itself tearing and twisting. The air crackled with oppressive energy, a suffocating pressure that threatened to crush Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian, unfazed by the chaotic onslaught, raised the Heaven Piercing Sword. Its celestial light, a beacon of hope amidst the encroaching darkness, shone even brighter. He channeled the full power of the God Mark of Light and the God Mark of Space, infusing the sword with divine energy that defied the laws of reality.

“Rending Heaven.”

With a single, decisive strike, Yun Lintian unleashed the Rending Heaven technique, a powerful sword art that could cleave through the very fabric of the universe.

The sword, imbued with the combined power of light and space, sliced through the chaotic energy, its blade glowing with otherworldly radiance.

The chaotic energy, unable to withstand the force of the attack, began to dissipate, the swirling maelstrom losing its power. The space, slowly but surely, began to stabilize, the oppressive darkness receding.

Ju Liang watched as his domain, his ultimate weapon, was being dismantled before his very eyes. His expression turned grim. He knew that he had reached his limit, that he could no longer resist Yun Lintian’s overwhelming power.

With a final, desperate effort, Ju Liang unleashed a wave of chaotic energy, a last-ditch attempt to overwhelm Yun Lintian. But it was futile. Yun Lintian, with a single movement, deflected the attack, his sword absorbing the chaotic energy and converting it into pure light.

“Die.”

Yun Lintian uttered calmly, without any emotion. He raised his sword and swung it down. The blade, glowing with blinding light, descended upon Ju Liang, ending his life with a single,

swift strike.

Puff!!

The chaotic energy dissipated, the pocket dimension collapsing upon itself. The world returned to its original state, the darkness receding, the light returning.

Xia Nongyue looked at the scene in surprise. Yun Lintian had given her another surprise. His power reminded her of someone… someone she missed dearly.

On the side, Liu Feng’s eyes filled with despair. He thought Ju Liang could do something, but the reality was different from what he had imagined. Yun Lintian could easily end Ju Liang’s life with a few strikes.

Yun Lintian turned toward them and said, “Sorry, I couldn’t hold back.”

Xia Nongyue nodded. “It’s fine.”

Yun Lintian shifted his gaze onto Liu Feng and said, “Now, it’s your turn.”
