Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2498: True Face (1)



The black holes, swirling vortexes of devouring darkness, hungered for all matter and energy, their gravitational pull threatening to tear Xia Nongyue apart. She reacted with lightning reflexes, her figure blurring as she executed a series of intricate footwork, weaving through the black holes' deadly embrace.

Her sword danced with mesmerizing grace, deflecting the gravitational forces that threatened to pull her into oblivion.

Ju Liang, his eyes gleaming with predatory light, watched Xia Nongyue's struggle with cold satisfaction.

He glanced at Yun Lintian and said coldly, "Are you going to watch?"

Yun Lintian smiled faintly. "To tell you the truth, your trick isn't impressive at all. She will be safe with me here."

Yun Lintian was slightly surprised when he saw Ju Liang's power. It was similar to the Void Creatures he had seen previously. It made him even more curious about the so-called Chaos Knights.

At the same time, he wasn't being arrogant, but absolutely confident in his ability. With a glance, he could already find the weakness of these black holes.

"Really?" Ju Liang's eyes turned cold. He manipulated the black holes with his mind, their movements becoming erratic and unpredictable, their gravitational pull intensifying.

Xia Nongyue, her movements becoming more strained, felt the pressure mounting, the chaotic energies of the Abyssal Rift adding to the disorientation. Her heart burned with cold fury. She channeled her divine energy, her sword glowing with an icy luminescence, her aura radiating chilling defiance.

With a graceful twirl, she unleashed a torrent of sword energy, each strike aimed at the heart of the black holes, attempting to disrupt their gravitational pull, to create an opening in Ju Liang's defenses.

"It's useless," Ju Liang said coldly. The torrent of sword energy was instantly swallowed by the black holes.

Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly and looked at Xia Nongyue. "Let me help you."

He raised his hand, and his God Mark of Space immediately burst forth. The surrounding chaotic space calmed down instantly, and the black holes around Ju Liang gradually shrank.

Ju Liang's eyes flickered with surprise. "Just how many laws have you mastered?" he asked with strong curiosity.

Aside from the ten Chaos Knights, he had never seen anyone who mastered various laws like this. Moreover, Yun Lintian's mastery over the laws wasn't just superficial, but exceptionally deep. It was beyond anyone he had ever seen. This made him doubt Yun Lintian's background. Xia Nongyue seized this opportunity. With a swift, decisive strike, her sword pierced through the weakened defenses of the black holes, the blade covered by a torrent of water as it sliced through the chaotic energy.

The black holes, their gravitational pull disrupted, imploded upon themselves, their devouring darkness collapsing inward, their threat neutralized.

"Enough," Ju Liang uttered coldly. With a surge of his chaotic energy, he unleashed a new wave of attacks, his mastery of the Law of Space and Shadow merging into a fearsome display of power.

Shadowy tendrils, infused with the essence of the void, snaked through the air, their movements erratic and unpredictable, their touch promising oblivion. They lashed out at Xia Nongyue, their chilling touch threatening to drain her life force, to extinguish her very existence.

Xia Nongyue's pupils shrank. Her intuition told her that it wasn't something she could contend with head-on.

Just as she was about to activate her movement technique, Yun Lintian suddenly appeared beside her with Liu Feng in his hand.

With a surge of his divine energy, Yun Lintian activated the God Mark of Light, its radiant glow piercing through the oppressive darkness. A barrier of pure light materialized around Xia Nongyue, its warmth countering the chilling touch of the shadowy tendrils.

The tendrils recoiled from the barrier, their darkness unable to penetrate the radiant light. Xia Nongyue, feeling the warmth of the barrier and her energy replenished, looked at Yun Lintian in surprise.

"Thank you," she said, her voice carrying a hint of warmth for the first time.

Yun Lintian nodded. "Do you mind if I take care of him?" he asked.

"Alright," Xia Nongyue responded readily. She knew that she was no match for Ju Liang.

Yun Lintian let go of Liu Feng, and the Heaven Piercing Sword immediately appeared in his hand.

"Let me see how strong a Chaos Knight is. I hope you don't disappoint me like the one earlier," Yun Lintian said, his sword gleaming with a blinding light.

Ju Liang, his eyes narrowed with a dangerous glint, met Yun Lintian's challenge with icy calm. "Very well. I shall show you the true extent of our power."

With a flick of his wrist, Ju Liang summoned a shadow lance, its form coalescing from the swirling chaotic energies of the Abyssal Rift. The lance, imbued with the essence of the void, pulsed with dark energy that crackled through the air, its sharp tip promising swift and merciless annihilation.

"Bring it on." Yun Lintian raised the Heaven Piercing Sword, its celestial light shining even brighter in the face of the encroaching darkness. He channeled his divine energy, the God Mark of Light pulsating with a radiant glow that illuminated the surrounding chaos.

The two figures stood poised for battle, their auras clashing like opposing forces of nature.

Swoosh!

With a sudden burst of speed, Yun Lintian launched himself forward, his movements a blur as he closed the distance between them. He unleashed the first strike of the Heaven Piercing Sword Art, the blade slicing through the air with a blinding flash, its celestial energy tearing through the chaotic darkness.

Ju Liang, his reflexes honed through countless battles, reacted with lightning speed. He parried Yun Lintian's attack with his shadow lance, the two weapons colliding with a thunderous clang that reverberated through the rift.

BANG!!

The impact sent shockwaves rippling through the surrounding space, distorting the already chaotic landscape. The two figures were locked in a fierce exchange, their weapons clashing in a mesmerizing dance of light and shadow.

"Not bad," Yun Lintian said as he pressed his attack. "You are much stronger than your companion."

Ju Liang deflected Yun Lintian's attack and uttered coldly, "Your arrogance will bring you

down."

"Is that so?" Yun Lintian chuckled. His sword flashed and the space in front of him was cut in

half.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two figures were a blur of motion, their weapons clashing in a symphony of destruction.

The chaotic energies of the Abyssal Rift swirled around them, responding to their immense power, amplifying their attacks, creating a spectacle of devastation that threatened to tear the very fabric of reality apart...
