Myth Beyond Heaven

Leng Ziyu and the other Chaos Knights stared at the scene in disbelief. They were fully aware of how powerful the General Class Void Creatures were, but Yun Lintian had actually taken care of them in a mere hour.

Moreover, he could forcibly control his opponent’s power as if it came from him in the first place… Now, they finally understood why the Lord of Chaos paid so much attention to Yun Lintian.

Leng Ziyu’s face, usually a mask of cold composure, contorted in a mixture of shock and rage as she witnessed the utter annihilation of the General Class Void Creatures. Her carefully laid plans, the power she had so confidently wielded, all seemed to crumble before the might of this one man – Yun Lintian.

The other three, though equally stunned, quickly regained their composure. They knew that they couldn’t afford to lose their nerve, not now, not against an opponent who had just demonstrated such overwhelming power.

“We need to retreat,” one of them said, his voice low and urgent. “We can’t win this.”

Leng Ziyu, her eyes still blazing with fury, slowly nodded. It pained her to admit it, but she knew he was right. They were outmatched, outmaneuvered, and outclassed. To stay and fight would be suicide.

“We’ll be back,” she snarled, her gaze fixed on Yun Lintian. “This isn’t over. The Lord of Chaos will not forget this.”

With that, the four Chaos Knights moved in unison, their bodies flickering as they prepared to utilize their own spatial abilities to escape.

Yun Lintian coldly watched them prepare to flee. He had no intention of stopping them, as he knew that Lan Bingxue wouldn’t allow them to leave.

Just as the Chaos Knights were about to vanish, a figure appeared before them, blocking their escape. It was Lan Bingxue, her face a mask of icy rage, her eyes blazing with a cold fire that could rival the heart of a dying star.

“You’re not going anywhere,” she declared, her voice as sharp and deadly as a shard of ice.

“Master,” Leng Ziyu began, trying to reason with her, to appeal to their past bond, but Lan Bingxue cut her off.

“Don’t call me that,” she said, her voice dripping with icy contempt. “You forfeited that right when you betrayed me, when you betrayed the Ice Phoenix Kingdom, when you betrayed everything we stood for.”

She raised her hands, and the temperature around them plummeted. The air crackled with frost, the ground beneath their feet freezing over. The very moisture in the air crystallized, forming a swirling blizzard of razor-sharp ice particles.

“I gave you life,” she continued, her voice rising with each word, echoing across the frozen battlefield. “I can also take it back.”

The Chaos Knights, sensing the raw power emanating from her, tried to fight back, but it was too late. They were trapped, caught in the heart of a raging blizzard of her making.

Leng Ziyu, her face contorted with a mixture of defiance and fear, tried to shield herself with her chaotic energy, but it was no use. The ice was too strong, too cold, too pure. It pierced through her defenses, freezing her from the inside out.

The other three Chaos Knights fared no better. They tried to teleport away, to manipulate space to their advantage, but Lan Bingxue’s power had disrupted the very fabric of reality around them. Their attempts to escape were futile, their movements sluggish, their powers weakened.

“Remember, don’t be a slave in your next life,” Lan Bingxue uttered coldly.

With a final, powerful gesture, she unleashed the full force of her Ice Phoenix power. The blizzard intensified, becoming a maelstrom of ice and snow, a vortex of freezing energy that consumed everything in its path.

“ARGHH!!”

The Chaos Knights screamed, their voices a chilling chorus of pain and despair, as their bodies were ravaged by the cold. Their dark energy, their corrupted souls, their very existence was being erased, wiped clean by the pure, untamed power of the Ice Phoenix.

Leng Ziyu, her body encased in ice, her movements frozen, could only watch in horror as her comrades were destroyed. She tried to speak, to plead, to curse, but no sound escaped her frozen lips.

And then, with a final, deafening roar, the blizzard reached its climax. The Chaos Knights, their bodies shattered, their souls extinguished, were reduced to nothing but frozen dust, scattered across the icy wasteland.

Silence descended upon the battlefield, the echoes of the storm fading away. The only sound was the gentle whisper of the wind, carrying with it the faint scent of ice and snow.

Lan Bingxue stood amidst the frozen wasteland, her chest heaving, her eyes filled with cold fury.

The immediate threat of the Chaos Knights had been extinguished, but the battlefield was far from silent.

The horde of Shadow Demons and Void Creatures, though momentarily stunned by the display of power from both Yun Lintian and Lan Bingxue, quickly recovered and continued their relentless assault on the defenders of the Ice Phoenix Kingdom.

These creatures, born from the darkest corners of the void, were not swayed by reason or fear. They were driven by a singular, insatiable hunger, a primal urge to consume and destroy. Their numbers seemed endless, their forms shifting and grotesque, a tide of darkness that threatened to engulf the entire realm.

Lan Bingxue raised her hands once more, and the very air around her seemed to freeze. The temperature, which had risen slightly after her initial attack, plummeted once again.

From her outstretched hands, a torrent of ice and snow erupted forth, a raging tempest that swept across the battlefield. It was not merely a physical attack; it was a manifestation of her will, a weaponization of her very essence.

Scree-

Amidst the phoenix’s cry, the Shadow Demons and Void Creatures, caught in the path of this icy onslaught, were instantly frozen, their shadowy forms encased in solid ice. They struggled, they thrashed, they howled, but it was no use. The cold was absolute, the ice unbreakable.

The blizzard raged on, spreading outwards from Lan Bingxue in all directions, consuming everything in its path. It was a storm of her own making, a tempest of ice and snow that obeyed her every command.

A moment later, where once a horde of monstrous creatures had stood, now there was only a vast expanse of ice, a frozen wasteland dotted with the shattered remnants of the creatures of

chaos.

Seeing this scene, the warriors of the Ice Phoenix Kingdom erupted in a thunderous cheer. “Long live the Empress! Long live the Ice Phoenix Kingdom!”
