Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Meilan nodded in agreement, her eyes scanning the surroundings with a heightened sense of alertness. “Indeed. It’s as if they’ve been deliberately drawn away.”

A sense of unease settled over them. The unnatural quiet, the absence of stronger creatures of chaos, it all pointed towards a deliberate strategy, a calculated move by the enemy.

“Could this be a trap?” Yun Yi pondered, his voice low and cautious.

“It’s possible,” Yun Meilan replied, her grip tightening on her dagger. “But we can’t turn back now. We need to find out what’s happening.”

With a shared determination, they pressed on, their senses heightened, their movements cautious yet swift. The deeper they ventured into the ruined city, the denser the chaotic energy became, clinging to them like a suffocating shroud.

As they neared the swirling vortex of chaotic energy that marked the entrance to the Ancient Battlefield, they encountered more creatures of chaos, but as Yun Yi had observed, they were all of the weaker variety. They dispatched these with practiced ease, their mastery of the Law of Shadow allowing them to move unseen and strike with deadly precision.

Finally, they reached the edge of the Ancient Battlefield. The vortex of chaotic energy pulsed before them, a gateway to a realm of untold dangers. They could feel the raw power emanating from within, a chaotic symphony of destruction and despair.

Taking a deep breath, they stepped into the vortex, their figures swallowed by the swirling chaos. The world around them dissolved into a maelstrom of colors and sounds, their senses overwhelmed by the raw power of the Ancient Battlefield.

When their vision cleared, they found themselves standing on a vast plain, the ground scarred and cracked, the air thick with the stench of death and decay. The sky above was a swirling vortex of chaotic energy, casting an eerie, otherworldly glow over the desolate landscape. But what truly shocked them was the sight that lay before them. A vast army of creatures of chaos stretched across the plain, their numbers seemingly endless. Shadow Demons, Void Creatures, and other grotesque beings they had never encountered before, all stood in formation, their eyes burning with malevolent intent.

Amongst the ranks, they spotted several figures that radiated an aura of immense power. These were the General Class creatures of chaos, beings of immense strength and cunning, capable of wreaking havoc on a scale that could shatter entire worlds.

Yun Yi and Yun Meilan exchanged a horrified glance. They had stumbled upon a gathering of unimaginable size and power, a force that could easily overwhelm the entire Primal Chaos.

“Roar!”

Suddenly, a piercing shriek echoed through the battlefield. A Shadow Demon scout had spotted them, its glowing red eyes fixed on their position.

The alarm was raised. The creatures of chaos turned their attention towards the two intruders, their eyes burning with bloodlust, their roars shaking the very ground beneath their feet.

“We need to leave. Now!” Yun Yi shouted, his voice barely audible above the deafening roar of the chaotic army.

Yun Meilan nodded in agreement. They turned and fled, their figures blurring as they activated their shadow movement technique. They weaved through the chaotic ranks, dodging attacks, their hearts pounding in their chests.

The creatures of chaos gave chase, their roars echoing behind them, their claws tearing through the air, their attacks narrowly missing their targets.

Yun Yi and Yun Meilan pushed their shadow movement technique to its limits, their figures flickering in and out of existence, their speed surpassing anything they had ever achieved before.

They could feel the power of the General Class creatures closing in on them, their immense auras pressing down on them like a suffocating weight.

But they didn’t dare look back. They focused on escaping, on surviving, on bringing this vital information back to Yun Lintian.

They ran and ran, the chaotic army hot on their heels. The landscape blurred around them, a chaotic tapestry of destruction and despair.

Finally, they reached the edge of the Ancient Battlefield, the swirling vortex of chaotic energy beckoning them back to the ruined city. They plunged into the vortex, their figures disappearing into the maelstrom of colors and sounds.

They didn’t stop when they emerged on the other side. On the contrary, they exerted more strength and rushed out, disappearing into the void.

The Nine Firmament City.

Yue Yun stood on the platform, attentively watching thousands of disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect sparring. Under her intense guidance, all of them had become qualified cultivators, no less skilled than the warriors of her Divine Moon Clan.

In fact, these individuals were far stronger than anyone she had ever seen. After all, they were baptized with Yun Lintian’s blessings. Their profound veins were much stronger than any heaven-chosen cultivator’s.

At this moment, Yun Ruanyu walked over and whispered, “We got news from Meilan. There’s a horde of outlaws inside the Ancient Battlefield. There are also a few General Class ones.”

Yue Yun furrowed her brow upon hearing this. “It seems we cannot escape fate, huh?” she muttered to herself.

Since Yun Lintian sealed the Primal Chaos Wall, Yue Yun thought it could give everyone enough time to prepare. The reality was that the initiative was never in their hands, but in Fan Shen’s.

“What should we do next?” Yun Ruanyu asked with a serious expression.

Yue Yun pondered for a moment, her gaze sweeping across the diligently training disciples. “There’s no need to panic,” she said calmly, her voice carrying a reassuring authority. “Inform everyone to remain vigilant, but continue their training as usual. There’s no need to engage in any unnecessary battles.”

She turned to Yun Ruanyu, her eyes filled with a resolute light. “Our primary objective is to protect the Divine Realm. We must ensure the safety of our people and preserve our strength. Lintian will return soon. Until then, we must hold the line.”

“Understood,” Yun Ruanyu responded gently. She also held the same opinion as Yue Yun’s. It was impossible for them to fight such an army head-on.

Yue Yun’s gaze returned to the training grounds, her expression a mixture of determination and concern. She understood the gravity of the situation. The creatures of chaos were

amassing their forces, preparing for a full-scale invasion.

The only one who could possibly deal with the situation was Yun Lintian. The only thing they could do was waiting…
