Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2167 Final Winner (1)

"Die!" Zhan You roared, his voice a thunderclap that reverberated through the chamber.

The vortex of energy surrounding him intensified, swirling faster and faster until it became a blinding maelstrom. And then, with a final, earth-shattering roar, the maelstrom imploded, collapsing in on itself with a force that seemed to warp the fabric of reality.

BOOOOM—

A wave of distorted energy rippled outwards, crashing against the moonlit barrier that held Zhan You captive. The barrier trembled violently, its ethereal glow flickering and dimming under the onslaught.

Yue Yun's expression turned solemn, her grip on the Moon Scepter tightening as she struggled to maintain control. The scepter hummed with power, its light pulsing in response to the onslaught of chaotic energy.

With a final, desperate surge of power, Zhan You broke free from the Moon Scepter's grasp. The wave of distorted energy dissipated, revealing a transformed War God.

Zhan You's form had grown even larger, his body now towering over the chamber like a colossus. His skin glowed with an infernal heat, the flames that once wreathed him now a part of his very being. His eyes, burning with a rage that could incinerate a thousand suns, were fixed on Yue Yun, his thirst for vengeance burning hotter than any inferno.

"You will pay for your insolence!" Zhan You bellowed, his voice like the roar of a thousand demons.

He raised his hand, the air around him shimmering as he gathered a monstrous ball of fiery energy. The energy pulsed and throbbed, crackling with a power that threatened to tear the very fabric of reality asunder.

"This is the end for you!" Zhan You declared, his voice dripping with malice.

He hurled the ball of energy towards Yue Yun, its trajectory a blazing arc that seemed to defy the laws of nature. The air around it warped and twisted, the heat so intense that it evaporated everything in its path.

Yue Yun, her face pale but determined, raised the Moon Scepter, its light shining brighter than ever before. A surge of lunar energy flowed into the scepter, the pearl at its tip glowing with an ethereal light.

As the ball of fiery energy hurtled towards her, Yue Yun swung the Moon Scepter with all her might, unleashing a beam of pure moonlight that pierced through the chaos, colliding with the fiery sphere in a cataclysmic explosion.

BOOM!!

The chamber was engulfed in a blinding flash of light, the resulting shockwave sending tremors through the earth. The very foundations of the palace shook, the ancient stones groaning under the strain of the titanic clash of powers.

When the blinding light subsided, the chamber was a scene of utter devastation. The air crackled with residual energy, and the very stones of the chamber bore the scars of the titanic struggle.

Amidst the devastation, a lone figure stood amidst the wreckage, his breath ragged and body battered.

Zhan You grimaced at the sight of Yun Lintian, Dian Lei, and Yue Yun sprawled on the ground. He hadn't expected them to push him to such extremes.

He took a deep breath to steady himself, then slowly walked towards Yue Yun.

"Ugh…" Yun Lintian coughed up blood, his eyes turning bloodshot. Zhan You's earlier display of power had clearly been too much for him to endure.

Dian Lei was even more miserable. He had spent no effort in protecting Yun Lintian and received the full force of Zhan You's attack. It was the first time in millennia he had been injured to this extent.

Yue Yun, on the other hand, fell unconscious immediately. She had overexerted herself in this battle.

Zhan You halted his tracks and glanced at the Moon Scepter on the ground. Aside from Yun Lintian, the Soul Scepter was his other objective for this trip.

He bent over, trying to pick the scepter up. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he instinctively conjured a barrier to protect himself.

BANG!

A powerful force slammed into the barrier, sending Zhan You flying to a far distance.

Yun Lintian and Dian Lei turned with difficulty to look at the newcomer. Their expressions shifted slightly as they recognized the person. It was none other than Si Junyi!

Si Junyi slowly stepped on the debris, his expression calm. Behind him, the Hell Asura stood tall, seemingly recovered from the previous battle with Zhan You.

Si Junyi halted his steps and glanced briefly at Yue Yun before raising his hand towards the Moon Scepter.

Swoosh!

The Moon Scepter immediately flew into his grasp. Si Junyi held the scepter firmly, carefully appreciating its beauty.

"It is indeed worthy of being one of the three Primordial Treasures," Si Junyi said, his voice laced with admiration.

Boom!

Zhan You abruptly rose from the ground, his expression icy. He stared at Si Junyi with murderous intent.

"This was your plan all along," he uttered coldly.

The moment Si Junyi appeared, Zhan You immediately understood everything.

Si Junyi had deliberately given up his own fragments and waited until Zhan You met Yun Lintian. He was also aware that Yun Lintian had the highest chance of finding the Soul Scepter... Everything had been orchestrated by Si Junyi!

Yun Lintian gleaned something from Zhan You's words. His face darkened as he looked at Si Junyi. A familiar scene was playing out once again. Si Junyi had taken advantage of him, just as he had in the Netherworld.

Si Junyi glanced at Zhan You and commanded, "Kneel."

As his voice fell, moonlight shone from the tip of the scepter.

Crackle!

Zhan You's kneecaps shattered instantly, forcing him to kneel with a thud. His expression twisted in humiliation once again.

This time, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.

Yun Lintian frowned upon seeing this. He recalled the Tomb Protector's words that a person must be recognized by the scepter in order to use it... Did this mean it had already recognized Si Junyi as its master?

"It's this place," Dian Lei spoke in a low voice. "This place is special. Damn it! This bastard Zhan You actually used that power here."

He thought Yue Yun would have effortlessly subdued Zhan You, but he had underestimated Zhan You's determination.

"This place?" Yun Lintian immediately understood.

Si Junyi glanced at the scepter in his hand with a satisfied smile. He then looked at Zhan You and said, "You must be a very important pawn in that person's hand to carry his power. Unfortunately, that power is too great for the current Primal Chaos."

Zhan You gnashed his teeth in anger. "You will pay the price."
