Chapter 2409: Trap
Chapter 2409: Trap
"Hmph!" Hongyue snorted coldly. She was angry, but there was nothing she could do. Yun Lintian wisely stopped teasing her. Otherwise, she would undoubtedly slap him.
After Hongyue's condition stabilized, Yun Lintian and his companions were on the move again. They continued to venture deeper toward the middle zone.
The oppressive atmosphere of the outer zone weighed heavily on Yun Lintian and his companions as they ventured deeper into the desolate landscape. The remnants of fallen gods grew more frequent, their skeletal remains scattered across the barren plains like macabre trophies of a forgotten war.
The air crackled with chaotic energy, its intensity growing with every step, a constant reminder of the insidious corruption that permeated this cursed land. Even with Yun Lintian's protection, the strain on his companions was evident, their faces pale, their breaths shallow.
Rumble-
Suddenly, the ground beneath them shimmered, the very air distorting as an invisible force enveloped them. Yun Lintian's eyes widened in alarm as he sensed a surge of chaotic energy coalescing around them, forming an intricate web of divine inscriptions.
"A trap!" he exclaimed, his voice laced with urgency.
Before he could react, the God Marks activated, their power surging outwards, binding Yun Lintian and his companions in an inescapable prison of chaotic energy. They struggled against the invisible bonds, their divine powers futile against the intricate web of divine inscriptions.
"It's no use," Hongyue gasped, her voice strained. "These God Marks are far more potent than the ones we encountered before."
Bang!
Nantian Fengyu, her Phoenix flames flickering, unleashed a torrent of fire, attempting to burn through the invisible bonds. But the chaotic energy simply absorbed her flames, its power growing stronger with every attack.
Linlin and Qingqing, their forms trembling, unleashed their own powers, but to no avail. The God Marks held firm, their grip tightening, their chaotic energy seeping into their bodies, threatening to corrupt their very essence.
Yun Lintian, his expression grim, channeled his divine energy, attempting to unravel the intricate web of God Marks. But the chaotic energy resisted his touch, its power far surpassing anything he had encountered before.
He realized that this trap was not merely a barrier, but a prison designed to drain their strength, to slowly corrupt their bodies and souls, turning them into mindless puppets of the chaotic energy.
Just as despair began to set in, a figure materialized before them, stepping out from the swirling chaos like a phantom. He was tall and imposing, his features sharp and angular, his eyes glowing with an eerie, golden light.
An aura of immense power radiated from him, his presence suffocating, his very existence an affront to the natural order.
"An Ancient True God." Mumu said with a frown.
The True God surveyed Yun Lintian and his companions, his lips curling into a cruel smile. "Welcome, intruders," he said, his voice a chilling whisper that echoed through the desolate landscape. "You have stumbled into my domain, and now, you shall pay the price."
He raised his hand, and a surge of chaotic energy erupted from his fingertips, coalescing into a spear of pure destruction. He aimed it at Yun Lintian, his eyes gleaming with a murderous intent.
"You possess a unique power, young man," the True God said, his voice laced with a chilling amusement. "A power that could threaten our plans. But alas, you have come too far, too soon. Your journey ends here."
Yun Lintian's heart pounded in his chest, his mind racing. He had faced countless enemies, overcome countless challenges, but never had he felt such a sense of impending doom. This person seemed to possess a force that could obliterate him with a single thought.
Yun Lintian's mind raced, desperately seeking a solution to their predicament. He focused his senses, reaching out to the chaotic energy that bound them, attempting to unravel its intricate patterns, to find a weakness, a vulnerability. But the chaotic energy resisted his touch, its power immense, its complexity overwhelming.
Suddenly, a spark of inspiration ignited within him. He closed his eyes, focusing his mind, channeling his divine energy into the Law of Space and Time.
The air around him shimmered and distorted as he weaved a delicate tapestry of spatial and temporal threads, manipulating the flow of time, bending the fabric of space.
The oncoming spear of destruction, hurtling towards them with terrifying speed, seemed to hang in the air, its trajectory warped, its momentum disrupted. Yun Lintian, seizing the opportunity, shifted their position in the blink of an eye, narrowly evading the attack.
BOOOOM!!
The spear of destruction struck the ground, its chaotic energy exploding outwards, creating a crater in the desolate landscape. Yun Lintian and his companions, their bodies trembling from the near miss, looked at each other with a mixture of relief and awe.
The True God, his eyes widening in surprise, stared at Yun Lintian with a newfound respect. "Impressive," he acknowledged, his voice laced with a hint of admiration. "But do not think that you can escape your fate."
Yun Lintian, his expression grim, knew that this was only a temporary reprieve. He had to find a way to break free from the trap, to confront the True God head-on.
His mind moved as he thought of the uncontrollable power he once unleashed inside the God Tomb. The power of the combination of the Great Law of Life and Death - the power of the chaos.
Yun Lintian delved deeper into his understanding of the Great Laws, his mind a whirlwind of calculations and deductions. He had mastered the Law of Life, the Law of Death, the Law of Space, and the Law of Time. But he had never attempted to combine them, to harness their combined power.
He realized that the chaotic energy that bound them was a manifestation of the interplay between life and death, creation and destruction. To break free, he had to tap into the very essence of chaos itself.
With a surge of determination, Yun Lintian channeled his divine energy into the Great Law of Life and the Great Law of Death, merging them, fusing them, creating a vortex of chaotic
power within his Divine Core.
CRACKLE!!
The air around Yun Lintian crackled with energy, the very ground trembling under the strain of his immense power. His body radiated an aura of chaos, a force that defied all natural laws,
a power that threatened to unravel the very fabric of existence.
He infused this chaotic power into the Heaven Piercing Sword, its blade transforming, its aura shifting, its power surging to unimaginable heights.
"Break!"
With a defiant roar, Yun Lintian struck at the invisible bonds that held them captive.
BOOOM!!
