Myth Beyond Heaven

Qi Zongwen’s frown deepened. He could sense that there was more to her than she was letting on. Her power was not just that of a servant; it was something far greater, far more ancient. But he didn’t have time to ponder the mystery. He needed to focus on the battle at hand.

With a roar, Qi Zongwen unleashed another wave of divine energy, the power of the Golden Qilin God surging through him. The golden sword in his hand blazed with light, and he swung it in a wide arc, sending a wave of golden energy and lightning toward Tantai Xue.

BOOM!

The energy wave struck Tantai Xue’s barrier with devastating force, but once again, it held firm. Tantai Xue raised her hand, and the Law of Order shimmered around her. With a casual gesture, she disrupted the flow of Qi Zongwen’s divine energy, causing the golden aura around him to waver.

Qi Zongwen gritted his teeth. No matter how much power he unleashed, Tantai Xue seemed to always be one step ahead. Her control over the Law of Order allowed her to neutralize his attacks with ease, and her calm demeanor only added to his frustration.

“Is this all you’ve got?” Tantai Xue taunted, her voice dripping with mockery. “I expected more from the Golden Qilin Emperor.”

Qi Zongwen’s eyes blazed with fury. He knew he couldn’t let her get to him. He needed to stay focused, to find a way to break through her defenses.

With a deep breath, he concentrated his energy, channeling the full power of the Golden Qilin God. The image of the qilin behind him grew larger, its golden light pushing back the darkness.

At the same time, the God Marks of Metal, Thunder, and Fire on his body lit up, each one amplifying his power to unprecedented levels. The air around him crackled with energy as the laws of metal, thunder, and fire intertwined with the divine power of the Golden Qilin.

“Kill!” He roared.

With a swift motion, he raised his hand, and a massive golden sword materialized in his grasp. The sword was infused with the power of metal, thunder, and fire, its blade crackling with energy. He swung the sword in a wide arc, sending a wave of golden energy and lightning toward Tantai Xue.

BOOM!

The energy wave struck Tantai Xue with devastating force, tearing through her defenses and sending her flying backward. She landed gracefully, her expression still calm, but there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

“Not bad,” Tantai Xue said, her voice smooth and unhurried. “But this is it.”

Tantai Xue’s calm demeanor shifted slightly as she straightened herself, her eyes narrowing with a hint of seriousness. She raised her hand, and the Law of Order surged around her, forming a swirling vortex of energy that seemed to distort the very fabric of reality.

The air around her crackled with power, and the ground beneath her feet began to fracture, as if the world itself was struggling to contain her might.

Qi Zongwen could feel the immense pressure emanating from her. His golden aura flickered, the divine energy of the Golden Qilin God wavering under the weight of her power. He knew he was reaching his limit, but he couldn’t afford to back down. The fate of the Golden Qilin Kingdom rested on his shoulders.

With a swift motion, Tantai Xue extended her hand, and the Law of Order surged forward, binding Qi Zongwen in place. The golden aura around him dimmed, and the image of the qilin behind him flickered before dissipating entirely.

Qi Zongwen’s expression changed drastically as he struggled against the invisible chains, but it was futile. The Law of Order suppressed his divine energy, rendering him powerless. “This… this is impossible!” Qi Zongwen growled, his voice strained. “The Law of Order… it’s beyond the limit of a Primordial God. You… you don’t belong to this world!”

Tantai Xue’s lips curled into a faint smile. “You’re perceptive,” she said. “But it doesn’t matter. You’ve lost.”

She stepped forward, her movements graceful yet menacing. She raised her hand, her finger glowing with a dark, ominous light. She pointed it at Qi Zongwen’s forehead, and a cold, malevolent energy began to seep into his soul.

Qi Zongwen’s eyes widened as he felt the corruption spreading through him. His divine energy, once pure and radiant, was being tainted by the dark power of the Lord of Chaos. He struggled with all his might, but the Law of Order held him firmly in place.

“No… I won’t… fall!” Qi Zongwen roared, his voice filled with defiance. But his struggles were in vain. The corruption continued to spread, and he could feel his consciousness slipping away.

“Master!” Qi Mu and the other elders shouted anxiously but their hands were tied up against the horde of the creatures of chaos.

RIPP-

Just as Qi Zongwen was about to succumb, a sudden burst of energy shattered the silence. A spatial rift tore open beside them, and a figure emerged, wielding a sword that glowed with an ethereal light.

“Young Master Yun!” Qi Mu gasped, his voice filled with both relief and disbelief.

Yun Lintian’s eyes were cold and focused as he swung the Heaven Piercing Sword, unleashing the Heaven and Earth technique. The blade cut through the air with unparalleled precision, its energy converging into a single, devastating strike aimed directly at Tantai Xue.

Tantai Xue’s eyes widened in surprise. She raised her hand, and the Law of Order surged to form a barrier, but the force of Yun Lintian’s attack was too much. The barrier shattered, and the energy of the Heaven and Earth technique struck her, forcing her to retreat.

BOOM!

The impact sent Tantai Xue flying backward, her form skidding across the ground before she came to a halt. She looked up, her expression a mix of shock and anger. “You…” she muttered, her voice low and dangerous.

Yun Lintian didn’t waste a moment. He stepped forward, his sword glowing with divine energy. “We meet again.” He said, his voice was incomparably cold. “It’s time to repay the

debt.”

Tantai Xue’s eyes narrowed, and she rose to her feet, her aura flaring with dark energy. “You’ve grown so much in such a short time. You are indeed worthy of being Yun Wushuang’s

son.”

Yun Lintian didn’t respond. With a swift motion, he charged forward, his sword blazing with light. The Heaven Piercing Sword clashed against Tantai Xue’s dark energy, the impact sending shockwaves rippling through the air.

BOOM!
