Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2434: A Duel (2)



"As you wish," Yun Lintian declared, his voice resonating with power.

He raised the Heaven Piercing Sword, the crimson blade humming with anticipation. With a fluid motion, he began to execute the Heaven Piercing Sword Art, each movement imbued with the profound understanding he had gained from Jian Yun.

The first strike was a blur, a crimson arc that sliced through the air with terrifying speed. Yue Yun met the attack head-on, her Moon Staff a silver streak that deflected the blow with pinpoint accuracy.

BANG!

The clash of sword and staff echoed through the air, sending shockwaves rippling across the landscape. The onlookers watched with bated breath, their eyes wide with awe.

Yun Lintian pressed his attack, his movements a symphony of death and destruction. Each strike was imbued with the chilling power of the Great Law of Death, capable of extinguishing life with a single touch.

However, Yue Yun was unfazed. Her mastery of the Great Law of Life was unparalleled, her Moon Staff a conduit for a life force that countered every deathly blow. She moved with an ethereal grace, her staff weaving a tapestry of life that protected her from harm.

The battle intensified, a dance of life and death, creation and destruction. Yun Lintian's attacks grew fiercer, his swordsmanship reaching new heights. He channeled the Great Law of Death to its fullest extent, his strikes carrying the weight of oblivion.

Yet Yue Yun remained steadfast, her defenses impenetrable. She countered every attack with precision, her Moon Staff a beacon of life amidst the encroaching darkness.

Sensing the need to break the stalemate, Yun Lintian decided to unleash a new technique. He channeled the Great Law of Life into his Heaven Piercing Sword, merging it with the existing Death Law. The crimson blade pulsed with a strange, dual-toned energy, a chaotic blend of life and death.

He lunged forward, his sword a blur of conflicting energies.

"Oh?" Yue Yun, sensing the shift in his power, met the attack with renewed vigor. Her Moon Staff glowed with an intense life force, pushing back against the encroaching chaos.

BOOOOM-

The clash was deafening, a collision of opposing forces that shook the heavens. The space trembled, and the sky crackled with energy. The onlookers shielded their eyes from the blinding light, their ears ringing from the thunderous impact.

Yun Lintian gritted his teeth, pushing his power to the limit. He channeled the chaotic blend of life and death into his sword, unleashing a torrent of conflicting energies.

Yue Yun, however, was prepared. She had anticipated this move and countered with a technique of her own. She channeled the pure, unadulterated power of life and death into her Moon Staff, creating a barrier of chaotic energy that shielded her from the chaotic onslaught. BOOOOM!!

The two forces clashed, creating a vortex of swirling energy. The air crackled with power, and the space around them rippled crazily.

"I knew it. You could use this power as well," Yun Lintian said, feeling a surge of adrenaline, his senses heightened.

He pushed his sword forward and pulled himself back, retreating to a far distance.

Yun Lintian raised his sword high, and the surrounding space trembled even more violently. "Heaven and Earth."

The Heaven Piercing Sword, infused with his power of chaos, transformed into a whirlwind of chaotic energy, splitting the heavens and the earth.

As Yun Lintian swung the sword down, the entire space split in half, creating violent spatial turbulence as the sword energy rushed toward Yue Yun.

Yue Yun held the staff tightly and raised it high before swinging it down.

"Heaven and Earth."

The Moon Staff unleashed terrifying power that dwarfed Yun Lintian's aura as she swung it down.

Yun Lintian was stunned. He didn't expect Yue Yun to use the same technique as his. What was going on?

The two forces collided, and for a brief moment, time seemed to stand still.

Then, with a resounding boom that shattered the silence-

BOOOOOOM!-

The entire space was torn apart, giving birth to countless spatial rifts. Yun Qianxue and the others had no choice but to retreat constantly, escaping the range of the explosion.

The space continued to ripple violently for a full minute before slowly calming down.

Yun Lintian and Yue Yun could be seen floating in the air, staring at each other.

Yun Lintian let out a long breath and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you exactly?"

Yue Yun spun the Moon Staff gently and pulled it close to her chest. "Of course, I am the Moon Princess Yue Yun."

Yun Lintian stared at her for a while and said, "Forget it. I don't know why you don't want to tell me the truth, but I respect that."

He paused for a second and asked, "Did I pass?"

Yue Yun nodded slightly. "With your current strength, you should barely survive against those outlaws."

Yun Lintian sighed in relief. He was afraid that Yue Yun wouldn't let him go. "That's good."

"Let's go back." Yue Yun waved her hand and quickly brought everyone back to Nine Firmament City.

"Before you go out, let me give you some crucial points," Yue Yun said as they sat down in a private room.

"When you're facing the Shadow Demons, you must not allow them to catch you. They have the ability to restrain you in place through the Law of Shadow. The best way to get rid of them is to use the power of chaos directly. You must be swift and decisive. If you can't defeat themn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

in two moves, you must run immediately."

Yun Lintian nodded solemnly. "Understood."

"The Void Creatures will be more troublesome. Running from them is almost impossible. The best way to deal with them is to disrupt the space around them, preventing them from catching up with you. In your case, you should use the Law of Order that you've just learned to restrict them," Yue Yun continued.

"Similarly, you shouldn't hold back against them. Use the power of chaos to kill them in one go. If not, run."

"Alright," Yun Lintian responded with a serious expression.

"The most important thing is, do not believe what you see and hear out there. Everything can be real and fake," Yue Yun said in a deep voice. "And if you encounter a General Class outlaw,

run with everything you have."

"What do you mean by 'everything can be real and fake"?" Yun Lintian asked curiously.

"I cannot explain it well," Yue Yun said, shaking her head. "Aside from their ability to imitate others, there seems to be something more... Something that can alter reality."
