Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2565: Desperation



Xi Baihe's eyes widened in shock as she felt her control over her own light energy slipping. The radiant vortex that had been her greatest weapon now seemed to bend to Yun Lintian's will.

The light, once pure and overwhelming, began to twist and turn, its brilliance dimming as Yun Lintian's influence grew stronger.

"What are you doing?!" Xi Baihe demanded, her voice sharp and panicked. She raised her hands, trying to retract her light energy, but it was no use. The power she had wielded so effortlessly moments ago now resisted her commands, as if it had found a new master.

Yun Lintian's expression remained calm, almost detached. His eyes glowed with a faint light as he continued to channel the Law of Light, his connection to the Light Pole within his Divine Core growing stronger with each passing moment.

"You rely too much on your light," he said simply. "But light without balance is fragile. Let me show you."

With that, Yun Lintian swung the Heaven Piercing Sword in a wide arc, and the radiant light he had taken control of surged forward, colliding with Xi Baihe's own light vortex. But this time, it wasn't a clash of opposing forces. Instead, Yun Lintian's light energy merged with Xi Baihe's, amplifying its power and then turning it against her.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

BOOM!!!

The explosion that followed was unlike anything the battlefield had seen before. The light, now under Yun Lintian's control, surged back toward Xi Baihe with overwhelming force.

The ground beneath her feet shattered, and the air around her burned with the intensity of the light. Xi Baihe raised her hands, trying to shield herself, but it was no use. The light engulfed her, its brilliance blinding.

When the light finally faded, Xi Baihe stood amidst the ruins, her figure battered and bruised. Her once-radiant aura had dimmed, and her silver hair was disheveled. She looked at Yun Lintian with a mixture of shock and disbelief, her lips trembling as she struggled to speak.

"How...?" she whispered, her voice barely audible. "How did you...?"

Yun Lintian lowered the Heaven Piercing Sword, his breathing heavy but his expression calm. "The Law of Light is not yours to command alone," he said. "It belongs to those who understand its true nature. And you, Xi Baihe, have lost sight of that."

Xi Baihe's eyes flickered with a mix of emotions-anger, fear, and something else that Yun Lintian couldn't quite place. For a moment, it seemed like she might lash out, but then her shoulders slumped, and she let out a bitter laugh.

"You think you've won, don't you?" she said, her voice trembling with barely contained rage. "But this is far from over, Yun Lintian. The Lord of Chaos will not let you interfere with his plans. And when he comes for you, you'll wish you had never crossed me."

Yun Lintian's expression didn't change. "The Lord of Chaos is not my concern right now," he said. "You are."

Xi Baihe's lips curled into a bitter smile. "You're a fool, Yun Lintian. A fool who thinks he can change the fate of this realm. But you'll see. You'll all see."

With that, Xi Baihe raised her hand, and a spatial rift began to form behind her. She was preparing to escape, her confidence shaken but her determination unbroken. However, before the rift could fully open, a cold, sharp aura erupted from the side.

Ye Yingxi stepped forward, her blood-stained robes fluttering in the chaotic wind. Her eyes burned with determination as she raised her hand, summoning a swirling vortex of dark energy. The energy surged forward, enveloping the spatial rift and sealing it shut.

"You're not going anywhere," Ye Yingxi said, her voice firm and resolute. "This ends here."

Xi Baihe's eyes widened in surprise, but she quickly regained her composure. "You think you can stop me?" she said, her voice dripping with mockery. "Even now, you're no match for me."

Ye Yingxi's aura surged as she tried to seal the space. Her hands moved in a series of intricate gestures, and the dark energy around her intensified, forming a dense, swirling vortex that enveloped the battlefield.

The air grew heavy, and the space around Xi Baihe began to distort, as if the very fabric of reality was being twisted and sealed.

Xi Baihe's expression turned solemn. She raised her hand, and a burst of radiant light erupted from her palm, attempting to shatter the dark vortex. However, the light energy collided with the dark vortex and was immediately absorbed, its brilliance fading into nothingness.

Ye Yingxi's lips curled into a cold smile. "This is no ordinary seal, Xi Baihe. It's a spatial lock infused with the power of the Eternal Night. You won't escape so easily."

Xi Baihe's eyes narrowed, and for the first time, a flicker of unease crossed her face. She glanced at Yun Lintian, who stood calmly to the side, his Heaven Piercing Sword glowing faintly with residual light energy. His presence was a silent threat, a reminder that she was now facing two formidable opponents.

"Fine," Xi Baihe said, her voice cold and resolute. "If you insist on forcing my hand, then I'll show you the true extent of my power."

With that, Xi Baihe's aura suddenly changed. Her silver hair shimmered with an otherworldly glow, and her eyes burned with a fierce light. She raised both hands, and the air around her crackled with energy as she began to chant in an ancient, forgotten language.

The ground beneath her feet trembled, and the sky above darkened as if the heavens themselves were responding to her call.

Yun Lintian's expression grew serious. He could feel the immense power gathering around Xi Baihe, a power that surpassed anything she had shown before. "She's burning her blood essence," he said, his voice low but urgent. "She's going all out."

Ye Yingxi's eyes narrowed slightly. "We can't let her escape."

Without hesitation, Yun Lintian and Ye Yingxi moved in unison. Yun Lintian raised the Heaven Piercing Sword, channeling the full power of the Law of Light and Darkness.

The blade glowed with a radiant light on one side and a deep, shadowy darkness on the other, the two forces merging into a single, devastating attack.

Ye Yingxi, meanwhile, summoned a massive vortex of dark energy, her hands moving in a series of rapid gestures as she reinforced the spatial seal. The dark vortex expanded, its tendrils reaching out to ensnare Xi Baihe and disrupt her ritual.

"Now!" Yun Lintian shouted, and the two unleashed their attacks simultaneously.

The Heaven Piercing Sword released a blinding beam of light and darkness, while Ye Yingxi's dark vortex surged forward, its power focused on disrupting Xi Baihe's energy flow. The two attacks converged on Xi Baihe, their combined force enough to obliterate even the strongest

of cultivators.
