Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2539:  Grand Scheme (1)

The invasion of the Shadow Demons and Void Creatures was not an isolated incident. It was a coordinated attack, a calculated move in a larger game, a symphony of chaos orchestrated by Fan Shen. Across the vast expanse of the Great Expanse, similar scenes of destruction and despair were unfolding.

In the Celestial Realm, the once peaceful sky was torn asunder by swarms of Void Creatures, their forms distorting the very fabric of space, their presence draining the light and life from the celestial bodies.

The inhabitants of the realm, caught off guard, could only watch in horror as their homes were consumed by the encroaching emptiness.

Across the Great Expanse, countless lives were lost. Cities fell, civilizations crumbled, and entire realms were plunged into darkness. The forces of chaos, unleashed by Fan Shen, were sweeping across the cosmos, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.

The defenders of the various realms, the gods, the celestial beings, and countless other races, fought bravely, desperately trying to stem the tide of chaos. They wielded their powers, their divine energies, their ancient artifacts, but they were outnumbered, outmatched, and unprepared for the sheer scale of the invasion.

Many powerful God Realm experts tried their best to fend off the invaders, but the sheer number of enemies quickly overwhelmed them. It was a massacre, a slaughter, a testament to the terrifying power of the forces of chaos.

Just when all hope seemed lost, when the forces of chaos seemed poised to engulf the entire Great Expanse, a new player entered the game. A spectral army emerged, led by various powerful Ghost Kings.

Under the command of powerful Ghost Kings, they joined the fight. They were beings of pure spiritual energy, their forms ethereal and translucent, their eyes glowing with an otherworldly light.

One of the prominent figures among them was Sheng Qianyu, the Ghost King who had led the counterattack in the Central Region.

She, along with other Ghost Kings, each a powerful entity in their own right, led their spectral armies across the Great Expanse, engaging the Shadow Demons and Void Creatures wherever they found them.

Their arrival shifted the tide of the war. The forces of chaos, for the first time since the invasion began, found themselves facing an enemy they couldn't simply overwhelm with numbers or brute force. The battles that followed were unlike anything the Great Expanse had ever seen. They were clashes between the physical and the spiritual, between the living and the dead, between chaos and order.

Inside the Divine Realm, unlike other places, it was serene and peaceful. Everyone here seemed to have no idea what was happening across the Primal Chaos.

At this moment, several top figures gathered on Moonlight Peak. It was the first time they had done so since Ren Yuan's reign ended.

Inside the hall, Murong Mengyi, Hong Hualian, Yu Wuying, Shen Huang, Jiang Taiyu, Kong Hui, and the other God Emperors sat around the long table, their faces solemn. As top powerhouses, they were naturally aware of the situation outside.

At the head of the table, Yue Hua looked at everyone. "The situation is dire. Many parts of the Primal Chaos have been fully occupied by the enemy."

A heavy silence descended upon the hall, the weight of her words sinking into the hearts of everyone present.

"This is our best chance, not just to defend the Divine Realm, but also to understand our enemy. Let our people fight, let them learn, let them grow stronger. Only through battle can we truly understand the nature of these creatures and find a way to defeat them," Yue Hua continued.

She paused, her gaze sweeping across the faces of the God Emperors, her eyes filled with fierce determination. "We will send out our people, our best and brightest, to form a barricade. They will be our first line of defense, our shield against the storm."

Everyone naturally had no objections.

"Where's Lintian right now?" Hong Hualian asked.

Yun Lintian's departure to the Realm of Chaos was a top secret. Not even Hong Hualian knew about it. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"He's currently undergoing intense training," Yue Hua replied calmly.

"Oh." Hong Hualian nodded slightly.

"Let's discuss the details," Yue Hua said.

Yun Lintian stayed in his room for the entire week, adjusting his condition. During this past week, many things happened in the Realm of Chaos.

According to Xi Xurou, many disciples who had gone to the Haven had returned to their respective kingdoms. Their return caused quite a stir among the top cultivators.

When Yun Lintian heard this, he immediately knew that something was about to happen. The Lord of Chaos must have been planning something big.

After thinking for a long time, Yun Lintian decided to leave and return to the Golden Qilin Kingdom.

He gathered Xia Nongyue and Cai Xieren and headed to the hall.

As they stepped into the hall, they were met with an unexpected sight. Several unfamiliar female cultivators stood respectfully near the entrance, their auras powerful yet restrained.

They were clearly not ordinary disciples, their bearing and the subtle energy they exuded suggested a high level of training and discipline.

Yun Lintian, his eyes sharp and perceptive, immediately recognized the energy signature emanating from these women. It was the same dark, chaotic energy he had sensed from the corrupted Cai Xieren, the energy of the Chaos Knights.

These women were undoubtedly Chaos Knights, individuals who had been to the Haven and had been transformed by the Lord of Chaos.

With a glance, he could see through their disguises, recognizing them as disciples of the Divine Light Empress, individuals who had supposedly gone to the Haven for training years ago.

Their sudden return, coupled with their transformation into Chaos Knights, was a clear indication of the Lord of Chaos's growing influence and his insidious plan.

However, Yun Lintian decided to keep his observations to himself for the moment. There was no need to escalate the situation, especially since he was about to leave.

Xi Xurou stepped forward, her gaze sweeping over the newly arrived Chaos Knights. "You have returned," she said, her voice calm yet tinged with a hint of concern. "How was your training in the Haven?"

One of the women, a tall, elegant cultivator with a cold demeanor, stepped forward. "It was… enlightening, Elder Xi," she replied, her voice devoid of any warmth. "We have learned much and gained new power."

"I see," Xi Xurou said, her voice carefully neutral. "The Divine Light Empress will be pleased to hear of your progress."

The Chaos Knights simply bowed their heads in response, their faces unreadable, their true intentions hidden behind their masks of obedience.

Xi Xurou glanced at Yun Lintian with a subtle expression…
