Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2448: Overwhelming (2)



Yun Lintian sighed inwardly. The moment he learned about them from Mu Zhi, he knew he would eventually meet them, but he didn't expect it to happen this quickly.

As he observed, Yun Lintian realized this was not a battle to the death, but a clash of egos, a display of dominance. They were testing each other, probing for weaknesses, and asserting their superiority in this desolate land.

Yun Lintian settled behind a towering ice sculpture, its jagged edges providing cover from the swirling snow and the stray blasts of ice and shadow that erupted from the ongoing battle. He watched the two figures with detached curiosity, his mind analyzing their movements, their techniques, their strengths, and weaknesses.

He could hear their voices now, their words carried by the wind, snippets of conversation laced with animosity and veiled threats.

"Still clinging to that pathetic Ice Phoenix, Wan Jingrou?" Ye Fuxie's voice sneered through the blizzard, his tone dripping with disdain. "Perhaps you should have stayed by her side; maybe she would have saved you from the humiliation of the Abyssal Rift."

Wan Jingrou retorted with a chilling laugh, her voice echoing through the frozen wasteland. "At least I didn't scurry away with my tail between my legs like a coward, Ye Fuxie. Or have you forgotten how you pleaded for mercy when those abyssal creatures cornered you?"

Yun Lintian's interest piqued. The Abyssal Rift? What kind of place was that?Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"You think those injuries weakened me?" Ye Fuxie snarled, his shadow tendrils lashing out with renewed ferocity. "They only fueled my hunger, my desire to grow stronger, to surpass those who mocked me."

"And yet, here you are," Wan Jingrou retorted, her ice shards deflecting his attacks with pinpoint accuracy. "Trapped in this frozen wasteland, clinging to the rumors of a mythical bird, just like the rest of us."

Their words were laced with venom, each sentence a barb aimed at the other's pride. Yun Lintian could sense the deep-seated animosity between them, a rivalry that extended beyond this frozen prison, a conflict rooted in a shared past.

"We both know why we're here, Wan Jingrou," Ye Fuxie said, his voice dropping to a low growl. "The Ancient Ice Phoenix holds the key to unimaginable power. And I will not let you, or anyone else, stand in my way."

"Then you'll have to go through me," Wan Jingrou replied, her voice filled with icy determination. "I will not let you defile her legacy with your darkness."

Their battle intensified, their attacks growing more ferocious, their powers unleashed with reckless abandon. The snowstorm raged around them, mirroring the turmoil of their emotions, the clash of their wills.

Yun Lintian was surprised to hear this. Wan Jingrou, despite being exiled, was actually protecting the Ice Phoenix's legacy. It seemed she had no resentment toward her sect, as he had expected.

Suddenly, Wang Jingrou and Ye Fuxie paused their battle, their eyes turning toward Yun Lintian's position.

"It seems we have a small fly here," Ye Fuxie said coldly.

Wan Jingrou didn't say anything but continued to stare at Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian sighed inwardly. He didn't expect to be spotted like this.

He stepped out and looked at them indifferently. "You can continue. I'm merely passing by."

Wan Jingrou and Ye Fuxie exchanged surprised glances. They clearly saw that Yun Lintian was only at the God Ascension Realm. Was he a fool?

Seeing that they said nothing, Yun Lintian ignored them and continued moving forward, treating them as if they were air.

Ye Fuxie was baffled. He had never been treated this way before.

Meanwhile, Wan Jingrou looked at Yun Lintian curiously and had no intention of stopping him.

"Hold on," Ye Fuxie spoke up. "Are you another fool seeking the mythical bird?"

Yun Lintian glanced at him and said, "Aren't we the same?"

Ye Fuxie narrowed his eyes. "Let me test that confidence of yours," he said coldly.

Yun Lintian paused and glanced at Ye Fuxie. "You should mind your own business. This is my sincere warning."

Ye Fuxie's eyes narrowed to slits, his pride wounded by Yun Lintian's dismissive attitude. A sneer curled his lips as he said, "A mere God Ascension Realm ant dares to speak to me like that? You must have a death wish."

Without another word, Ye Fuxie vanished into the swirling shadows, his presence merging with the darkness. A moment later, he reappeared behind Yun Lintian, a shadowy blade materializing in his hand, aimed at Yun Lintian's back.

Yun Lintian's senses, however, were far beyond what Ye Fuxie could comprehend. He didn't even turn around, merely flicking his wrist dismissively. A ripple of deathly energy emanated from his hand, colliding with the shadowy blade.

BANG!

The blade shattered like fragile glass, the impact sending a jolt of surprise through Ye Fuxie. He stumbled back, his eyes widening in disbelief.

"What...?" he muttered, his voice laced with shock. He couldn't believe that a God Ascension Realm cultivator could so easily deflect his attack.

Yun Lintian turned to face him, his expression calm and indifferent. "I said, mind your own business," he repeated, his voice carrying a hint of warning. "I have no desire to fight you, but do not mistake my patience for weakness."

Compared to the Snow Ape, Ye Fuxie was easier to predict. Yun Lintian could easily counter his attack at ease.

Ye Fuxie felt a surge of anger, his pride wounded by this unexpected resistance. He was a True God Realm expert, a disciple of the Eternal Night Empress, feared and respected throughout the Realm of Chaos. And yet, this insignificant ant dared to defy him, to treat him with such

disdain.

"You will pay for this insolence!" Ye Fuxie roared, his shadow tendrils lashing out like whips, coiling around Yun Lintian, attempting to bind and constrict him.

Yun Lintian sighed, his patience wearing thin. He had no desire to engage in a pointless battle, but it seemed this Ye Fuxie was determined to force his hand.

He clenched his fist, his body surging with the power of the Primordial Sun God. He unleashed

a Dragon Fist, a fiery dragon erupting from his fist, its scales shimmering with golden flames, its eyes burning with the intensity of a thousand suns.

ROARRRR-

The fire dragon roared, its voice echoing through the frozen wasteland, its power overwhelming the shadow blades, incinerating them in an instant. It collided with Ye Fuxie,

engulfing him in a fiery inferno.

BOOOM!!
