Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2609: God of Darkness (4)



"Master... why...?" Mo Qian gasped, his voice barely a whisper.

Yao Huang's expression was cold and unfeeling. "You are weak," he said, his voice filled with disdain. "And I have no use for weakness."

With a brutal twist, Yao Huang ripped Mo Qian's heart from his chest, the dark energy of the God of Darkness surging as he absorbed Mo Qian's essence. Mo Qian's body disintegrated, his power flowing into Yao Huang, amplifying his already formidable strength.

Mo Liang, witnessing the horrifying scene, tried to flee, but Yao Huang was faster. He lunged at Mo Liang, his hand piercing through the Devil God Ancestor's back and emerging from his chest.

"Spare me, my lord!... ARGH!" Mo Liang let out a final, agonized scream before his body disintegrated, his essence absorbed by Yao Huang.

Yun Lintian watched in silence, his expression calm but his eyes burning with a cold fury. Yao Huang's actions were desperate, the act of a man who had lost all reason. But Yun Lintian knew that desperation could make even the most powerful cultivator dangerous.

Yao Huang stood amidst the swirling darkness, his figure radiating an aura of immense power. The essence of the fallen Devil God Ancestors surged within him, pushing his cultivation to the very peak of the Primordial God realm. His eyes, once filled with a calculating coldness, now burned with an infernal fire, reflecting the absolute power of the God of Darkness that he had fully inherited.

"Yun Lintian," Yao Huang's voice boomed through the darkness, resonating with an ancient power that seemed to shake the very foundations of existence. "I don't care if you are the seed of fate, the inheritor of the God of Fate, or whatever grand destiny you carry. Today, you will die!"

The world around them twisted and warped, the remnants of the fortress dissolving into a sea of absolute darkness. It was a world devoid of light, a world where Yao Huang reigned supreme. He was the God of Darkness, the embodiment of chaos and destruction, and within this realm, his power was absolute.

Yun Lintian stood unyielding, his figure bathed in the soft glow emanating from the Heaven Piercing Sword. The power of the God of Fate surged within him, a beacon of light in the encroaching darkness. He met Yao Huang's gaze, his eyes filled with an unwavering determination.

"Yao Huang," Yun Lintian said, his voice steady. "You've lost yourself to the darkness. You think power is everything, but you've forgotten the most important thing-balance. Without light, darkness is meaningless. Without life, death is hollow. You are nothing but a shadow, a remnant of a war long past."

"Shut up!" Yao Huang roared, his voice shaking the very fabric of space. "I will not be lectured by the likes of you! The God of Darkness once crushed the God of Fate, and I will do the same to you!"

With a wave of his hand, Yao Huang summoned a massive wave of dark energy, a tidal wave of destruction that surged towards Yun Lintian. The darkness seemed alive, twisting and writhing like a beast hungry for blood.

Yun Lintian raised his sword, the God Mark of Light flaring brightly. "Heaven and Earth!"

The Heaven Piercing Sword slashed through the air, releasing a radiant blade of light that met the dark wave head-on. The collision was deafening, a clash of two primordial forces that shook the heavens. Light and darkness intertwined, each trying to overwhelm the other. BOOM!

The explosion of energy sent shockwaves rippling through the fortress, reducing what remained of the structure to dust. The ground cracked and splintered, and the sky above was torn asunder, revealing the chaotic void beyond.

Yao Huang's eyes narrowed as he saw his attack being neutralized. "You think your light can match my darkness? Foolish!"

He raised both hands, and the darkness around him condensed into countless black spears, each one radiating a terrifying aura. With a flick of his wrist, the spears shot towards Yun Lintian like a storm of death.

Yun Lintian's expression remained calm. He moved with incredible speed, his body a blur as he dodged and deflected the spears with his sword. Each time the Heaven Piercing Sword clashed with a spear, a burst of light and darkness erupted, illuminating the battlefield.

Yao Huang clenched his fists, and the darkness around him began to solidify, forming a massive black dragon. The dragon roared, its eyes glowing with malevolent light, and charged at Yun Lintian with terrifying speed.

Yun Lintian's eyes hardened. He raised his sword, and the God Mark of Light shone brighter than ever. "Disperse!"

A beam of pure light shot from the tip of his sword, piercing through the black dragon's chest. The dragon let out a deafening roar as its body began to disintegrate, consumed by the radiant energy.

In that instant, Yao Huang was already moving. He appeared behind Yun Lintian in a flash, his hand coated in dark energy, aiming to pierce through Yun Lintian's back.

Yun Lintian spun around, his sword meeting Yao Huang's hand in a clash of light and

darkness.

BANG!

The impact sent both of them flying back, but they quickly regained their footing.

"That's it?" Yao Huang sneered.

Yun Lintian didn't respond. Instead, he focused his energy, the power of the Great Law of Life and Death surging through him. The Heaven Piercing Sword began to glow with a chaotic energy, a mix of creation and destruction.

"Rending Heaven," Yun Lintian whispered, his voice carrying the weight of the heavens themselves.

He swung his sword, and a blade of chaotic energy shot towards Yao Huang. The attack was unlike anything before-it was a force that defied all laws, a power that could unravel existence itself.

"Heh. Cheap trick!" Yao Huang snorted coldly.

Yao Huang's lips curled into a sinister smile as he raised his hand. A dark, ancient artifact materialized in his palm-a mirror, its surface swirling with an endless void.

The Mirror of Darkness, a Primordial Artifact, radiated an aura of absolute authority, as if it could devour all light and hope.

"Let me show you the true power of a Primordial God," Yao Huang sneered, his voice dripping with malice.

Yao Huang smirked and raised the Mirror of Darkness.

BANG!

The chaotic energy struck the mirror's surface, but instead of shattering it, the attack was

absorbed.

For a brief moment, the mirror's surface rippled like water, and then, with a deafening roar, the same chaotic energy was reflected back at Yun Lintian...
