Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2505: Open Conspiracy (1)

With a graceful motion, Dian Lun stepped through the opening in the barrier, his form disappearing into the swirling vortex of energy.

Yun Lintian and Xia Nongyue, their expressions betraying no hint of fear or hesitation, followed Dian Lun through the swirling vortex of the spatial storm wall.

The chaotic energies buffeted their bodies, a tempest of raw power threatening to tear them asunder, but Dian Lun, with his uncanny mastery of the Law of Space, guided them safely through the turbulent currents.

As they emerged from the other side, a sight of breathtaking wonder unfolded before their eyes.

A vast expanse of crystalline formations stretched out as far as the eye could see, shimmering with an ethereal light that illuminated the cavernous space. Towering spires of crystal reached towards the heavens, their surfaces reflecting the light in a mesmerizing display of colors.

And scattered across the ground, like glittering jewels, lay countless Chaos Crystals, their crystalline structures pulsating with a vibrant energy that filled the air with a palpable hum. The sheer abundance of these precious stones was overwhelming, their brilliance casting an otherworldly glow upon the entire expanse.

“Welcome,” Dian Lun announced, his voice echoing through the crystalline expanse, “to the heart of the Abyssal Rift.”

He gestured towards the crystalline formations, his eyes twinkling with amusement. “This is the source of the chaotic energies that permeate this realm,” he explained. “A place where the very fabric of reality is in a constant state of flux, a crucible where the boundaries between order and chaos blur.”

Yun Lintian and Xia Nongyue, their senses heightened by the potent energy that permeated the air, observed the crystalline wonders with a calm curiosity. They had encountered countless marvels throughout their journey, but the sheer concentration of Chaos Crystals in this place was unlike anything they had ever witnessed.

Their eyes were drawn to a colossal structure that stood at the center of the expanse, an ancient stone gate, its surface etched with intricate runes and symbols that pulsed with an otherworldly light.

“The Gate of the Abyss,” Dian Lun said, his voice filled with reverence. “The gateway to the place where the Chasm of Uncreation is imprisoned, a void where all existence is annihilated, a place of infinite darkness where even the strongest cultivators fear to tread.”

Yun Lintian and Xia Nongyue approached the gate, their footsteps echoing through the crystalline expanse. They could feel the immense power emanating from the gate, a power that seemed to defy the laws of nature, a power that resonated with the chaotic energies of the Abyssal Rift.

As they drew closer, the gate began to hum, its surface pulsating with energy. The runes and symbols glowed with an eerie light, their ancient meanings whispering secrets of a bygone

era.

Suddenly, a contingent of Chaos Knights emerged from the shadows, their forms clad in dark armor, their faces obscured by menacing helmets. They surrounded Yun Lintian and Xia Nongyue, their weapons drawn, their eyes glowing with hostile light.

Dian Lun, his expression hardening, stepped forward, his hand raised in a gesture of warning. “Stand down,” he commanded, his voice resonating with authority. “These two are guests of the Lord of Chaos.”

The Chaos Knights hesitated, their gazes shifting between Dian Lun and the two cultivators. They seemed reluctant to defy their superior’s orders, but their loyalty to the Lord of Chaos and their duty to protect the Gate of Abyss remained strong.

Dian Lun, sensing their hesitation, unleashed a wave of his unique power, a subtle manipulation of the chaotic energies that permeated the chamber. The Chaos Knights, their senses overwhelmed by the sudden surge of power, staggered back, their forms momentarily disoriented.

“I said, stand down,” Dian Lun repeated, his voice now laced with a chilling undertone. The Chaos Knights, their resolve crumbling, lowered their weapons and retreated, their forms disappearing into the shadows.

Dian Lun turned back to Yun Lintian and Xia Nongyue, his expression softening. “My apologies,” he said, his voice regaining its usual calmness. “It seems my brethren are overly protective of this place.”

He gestured toward the Gate of the Abyss, his eyes twinkling with an enigmatic light. “Now, shall we proceed?” he asked, his voice filled with anticipation.

Yun Lintian and Xia Nongyue nodded. They followed Dian Lun toward the gate, their footsteps echoing through the crystalline expanse, their destinies intertwined with the secrets that lay hidden beyond the Gate of the Abyss. As they approached the gate, its humming intensified, the runes and symbols glowing with an even brighter light.

Yun Lintian, his senses heightened, could feel the immense power emanating from the gate, a power that seemed to resonate with his own, a power that called to him, beckoning him to unravel its secrets.

He furrowed his brow slightly and turned to Dian Lun. “So, what’s the purpose?”

“Do you feel anything?” Dian Lun asked.

Yun Lintian nodded slightly. “I can feel an immense power from this gate.”

“It’s the seal my lord has set up,” Dian Lun explained. “My lord is afraid that the seal will collapse soon, so he invited you here to strengthen it.”

Yun Lintian was taken aback. “Why me?” he asked, his voice filled with genuine curiosity.

Dian Lun smiled and said, “You are aware of the answer. What you want to ask me should be how he knew about your talents.”

He paused for a moment and continued, “The Lord of Chaos sees things that others do not. To tell you the truth, I have no idea. My lord is an existence that, I dare say, no one has ever come close to in terms of wisdom and strength.”

Yun Lintian remained silent, his mind grappling with the mystery behind the Lord of Chaos.

“Why would I do that?” Yun Lintian finally asked calmly. “What does the Lord of Chaos offer in return for such a service?”

Dian Lun’s smile widened, his eyes twinkling with amusement. “The Lord of Chaos is a wise and benevolent ruler,” he replied, his voice filled with admiration. “He understands the value of gratitude and reciprocation.”

He paused, his gaze shifting toward Xia Nongyue. “In exchange for your assistance, he is willing to grant you a favor, a boon that could fulfill your deepest desires.”

Xia Nongyue’s eyes widened slightly, her usually stoic expression betraying a flicker of hope.

Dian Lun continued, “He will return Cai Xieren to you.”

Yun Lintian furrowed his brow slightly. He felt as though everything had been calculated by

the Lord of Chaos, and he himself was slowly walking into the path he had created… What a

terrifying person.
