Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2610: True Darkness (1)



Yun Lintian's eyes widened as he saw his own attack hurtling towards him. He raised his sword, channeling the power of the God Mark of Light to create a barrier of radiant energy. The reflected attack struck the barrier, and the resulting explosion sent Yun Lintian flying backward, his body skidding across the space.

"Pathetic," Yao Huang said, his voice filled with disdain. "You thought you could defeat me with such a weak attack?"

Yun Lintian slowly stood up, his expression calm despite the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He wiped it away with the back of his hand, his eyes never leaving Yao Huang.

He had never heard about the Mirror of Darkness before but it wasn't surprised him much. After all, it was impossible for a Primordial God to have zero artifact.

"No matter how much you rely on the artifact, you will never be a true God of Darkness," Yun Lintian said calmly, his aura surging.

Yao Huang laughed, a cold, mocking sound that echoed through the darkness. "Spare me your philosophical nonsense. Power is power, no matter where it comes from. And right now, I hold all the power."

He raised the Mirror of Darkness again, and the space around Yun Lintian began to distort. The darkness thickened, forming a prison that sealed Yun Lintian within. The light from the God Mark of Light dimmed, as if it were being suffocated by the overwhelming darkness. "Feel the despair of absolute darkness," Yao Huang said, his voice filled with triumph. "This is the true power of the God of Darkness. Within this sealed space, you are nothing but a helpless insect, waiting to be crushed."

Yun Lintian stood in the center of the darkness, his surroundings completely black. He couldn't see, couldn't hear, couldn't even feel the ground beneath his feet. It was as if he had been cast into a void, a place where nothing existed except for the oppressive weight of Yao Huang's power.

"It's indeed worthy of being the power of the God of Darkness." Yun Lintian murmured, his voice steady despite the overwhelming pressure.

Yun Lintian closed his eyes, his mind calm despite the suffocating darkness. He could feel the oppressive weight of Yao Huang's power pressing down on him, but he did not falter. Instead, he focused inward, reaching deep into the core of his being where the power of the Primordial Sun God lay dormant, waiting to be unleashed.

After the previous breakthrough, Yun Lintian's control over the power of the Primordial Gods had risen significantly. Even though he couldn't unleash a hundred percent of their power, he could definitely display a half of it.

With a deep breath, Yun Lintian began to channel his energy, focusing it on his Divine Core. The power of the Sun and the Light Pole surged within him, intertwining with the nascent energy of the Primordial Sun God.

"Break!" Yun Lintian roared.

BOOM!

A blinding light erupted from Yun Lintian's body, piercing through the darkness like a thousand suns. The oppressive weight of Yao Huang's power was pushed back, the darkness retreating as the light spread outwards.

Yao Huang's eyes widened in shock as he felt the power of the Primordial Sun God emanating from Yun Lintian. "Impossible!" he shouted, his voice filled with disbelief. "How can you possess the power of the Primordial Sun God?!"

Yun Lintian didn't reply. The light around him intensified, forming a radiant aura that pushed back the darkness. The sealed space that Yao Huang had created began to crumble, the darkness dissolving under the overwhelming power of the Primordial Sun God.

Yao Huang clenched his fists, his expression darkening. "You may have broken free, but you are still no match for me!"

He raised the Mirror of Darkness once more, pouring his power into the artifact. The mirror's surface rippled, and a figure began to emerge-a clone of Yun Lintian, black as ink and radiating a dark aura.

The clone stepped out of the mirror, its eyes glowing with a malevolent light. It was a perfect replica of Yun Lintian, but its aura was twisted, filled with the corrupting power of the God of Darkness.

"Go!" Yao Huang uttered coldly as he commanded the clone.

Swoosh!

The clone lunged at Yun Lintian, its movements mirroring his own. It swung a dark blade, the attack carrying the same power and precision as Yun Lintian's own techniques.

Yun Lintian raised his sword, the Heaven Piercing Sword clashing against the dark blade.

BOOOOM-

The impact sent shockwaves rippling through the air, the force of the collision shaking the very fabric of space.

The clone pressed the attack, its movements fluid and relentless. It was as if Yun Lintian was fighting a shadow of himself, a dark reflection of his own power.

But Yun Lintian knew that the clone was not a perfect replica. It could mimic his techniques, but it could not replicate the power of the Primordial Sun God. That was his advantage.

"Kill!"

With a swift motion, Yun Lintian channeled the power of the Primordial Sun God into his sword. The Heaven Piercing Sword glowed with a radiant light, the blade cutting through the darkness like a hot knife through butter.

The clone's dark blade shattered under the force of the attack, and Yun Lintian followed up with a powerful slash, aiming to cut the clone in two.

But just as the attack was about to land, the clone's eyes flickered with a strange light. A wave of mental energy surged from the clone, invading Yun Lintian's mind with the force of a tidal

wave.

Yun Lintian's head throbbed, his vision blurring as the mental attack disrupted his focus. He stumbled back, his attack faltering.

The clone seized the opportunity. It raised its hand, and the darkness around it condensed into a dark sword. With a swift motion, the clone executed the Heaven and Earth technique, the same technique that Yun Lintian had used countless times.

RIPPP-

The space around them was torn asunder, a massive rift opening up in the fabric of reality. The attack was devastating, a chaotic blend of darkness and destructive energy that threatened to consume Yun Lintian whole.

Yun Lintian was shocked. He barely managed to raise his sword in time, channeling the power of the Primordial Sun God into a defensive barrier.

BOOM!

The Heaven and Earth attack struck the barrier, the force of the impact sending shockwaves rippling through his body.

Yao Huang, seeing his opportunity, lunged forward. He raised his hand, a dark spear forming in his grasp. He aimed it at Yun Lintian's heart, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Die!" Yao Huang roared, his voice filled with triumph.
