Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian frowned slightly. “So, you’re here to hinder me? Seriously, how many people are on your side? Why don’t you all come together so I can take care of you in one fell swoop?”

Yun Lintian’s words were laced with frustration, but his tone remained calm. He was growing increasingly impatient. Every second he spent dealing with Yu Cai was a second closer to Ren Yuan unleashing the Chasm of Uncreation. He couldn’t afford to waste time, but Yu Cai’s presence was a formidable obstacle.

Yu Cai chuckled softly, her dark eyes glinting with amusement. “Impatient, aren’t we? But I’m afraid you’ll have to deal with me first. I’ve been looking forward to this, Yun Lintian. Let’s see if you’re as strong as they say.”

Without waiting for a response, Yu Cai raised her hand, and the chaotic energy of the Abyssal Rift surged around her. The air crackled with power as she began to weave a formation, her movements fluid and precise. The runes on her staff glowed with a faint, ominous light, and the space around them began to distort.

Yun Lintian’s eyes narrowed as he felt the shift in the environment. The formations were complex, their patterns shifting and changing, creating a labyrinth of spatial distortions and energy traps.

“Let’s see how you handle this,” Yu Cai said, her voice calm but carrying an undeniable weight.

With a swift motion, she completed the formation, and the space around Yun Lintian shifted. He found himself in a vast, empty void, the chaotic energy of the Abyssal Rift replaced by an oppressive silence.

The void seemed to stretch endlessly in all directions, and Yun Lintian could feel the weight of the formation pressing down on him.

“This is the Void Prison,” Yu Cai’s voice echoed through the void, her tone filled with a quiet confidence. “Please enjoy.”

Yun Lintian didn’t respond. He knew that words were meaningless in a situation like this. The only way out was to break the formation, and he had no intention of wasting time.

He raised the Frostmourne Spear, the ten elements swirling around the blade as he channeled their power. With a sudden burst of energy, Yun Lintian thrust the Frostmourne Spear forward, the blade piercing through the void. The ten elements surged through the spear, their combined force creating a devastating explosion that shook the very fabric of the formation.

BOOM!

The shockwave rippled through the void, the oppressive silence replaced by the sound of shattering ice and roaring flames. The formation trembled under the force of Yun Lintian’s attack, but it didn’t break.

Yu Cai’s voice echoed through the void, her tone filled with amusement. “Impressive, but not enough. You’ll have to do better than that, Yun Lintian.”

Yun Lintian’s eyes narrowed as he assessed the situation. The Void Prison was more resilient than he had anticipated. It was a testament to Yu Cai’s mastery of spatial manipulation and her control over the chaotic energy of the Abyssal Rift.

He took a deep breath, calming his mind, focusing his will. He raised his Frostmourne Spear, its icy aura intensifying, its blade gleaming with a cold, sharp light. This time, he exerted more strength.

With a powerful roar, Yun Lintian unleashed his full strength. The Frostmourne Spear became a whirlwind of motion, its blade cutting through the void, shattering the spatial distortions, disrupting the flow of chaotic energy.

BOOOOOM!—

The shockwave rippled through the void, the oppressive silence replaced by the chaotic energy of the Abyssal Rift. The formation crumbled, its intricate patterns unraveling as Yun Lintian broke free.

Yu Cai, watching from afar, her eyes narrowed slightly as she sensed the growing power of Yun Lintian’s attacks. But she was not worried. She had prepared for this, had anticipated that Yun Lintian would eventually break through her initial formation.

With a wave of her hand, she activated another formation, a more complex and powerful one, designed to further trap and hinder Yun Lintian.

The void around Yun Lintian shifted once more, the shattered fragments of the previous formation reforming, coalescing into a new labyrinth of spatial distortions and energy traps.

The chaotic energy surged, and Yun Lintian found himself in a vast, endless desert, the sand stretching in all directions as far as the eye could see.

Yu Cai’s voice echoed through the desert, her tone calm and composed. “Impressive, Yun Lintian. But let’s see how you handle the Desert of Eternity.”

Yun Lintian’s eyes narrowed as he felt the shift in the energy. The desert was disorienting, the endless sand stretching in all directions making it difficult to focus. But he remained calm, his mind sharp as he assessed the situation.

He knew that the key to breaking the formation was to find its weak point, just like he had done with the Void Prison. But the Desert of Eternity was more complex, its energy more unpredictable.

With a sudden burst of energy, Yun Lintian activated the Eyes of Heaven, his golden eyes glowing with an intense light. The chaotic energy around him parted as his perception sharpened, allowing him to see the intricate patterns of energy that made up the formation.

As he studied the formation, he noticed a subtle fluctuation in the chaotic energy. It was a small irregularity, almost imperceptible, but it was there. That was the key.

Yun Lintian’s lips curved into a faint smile. “Found you.”

With a sudden burst of energy, Yun Lintian thrust the Frostmourne Spear forward, the blade piercing through the chaotic energy at the formation’s weak point. The ten elements surged through the spear, their combined force creating a devastating explosion that shattered the formation.

BOOM!

The shockwave rippled through the desert, the chaotic energy surging as the Desert of Eternity was destroyed. The distorted space around Yun Lintian returned to normal, the endless sand replaced by the chaotic energy of the Abyssal Rift.

Yu Cai’s voice echoed through the void, her tone filled with a mixture of surprise and admiration. “Impressive, Yun Lintian. You truly are a force to be reckoned with.”

However, Yun Lintian didn’t have time to respond. The space around him shifted once more, and he found himself in a dense, endless forest, the trees towering above him like ancient sentinels.

“This is the Forest of Illusions,” Yu Cai’s voice echoed through the forest, her tone calm and composed. “Let’s see if you can find your way out.”

Yun Lintian furrowed his brow. He couldn’t simply continue like this, or he would need to expend every ounce of his power here…
