Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2458: Ice Phoenix (4)



Yun Lintian's unconscious body lay intertwined with the Ice Phoenix, their forms bathed in an ethereal glow. Within his sea of consciousness, a fierce battle was raging. The droplet of Ice Phoenix blood origin, a concentrated essence of Yin energy, clashed against the fiery Yang energy of his Primordial Sun God's power.

His Divine Core, the epicenter of his power, throbbed violently, struggling to contain the conflicting energies. The normally harmonious balance within him was disrupted, the delicate dance of Yin and Yang thrown into disarray.

The intense cold emanating from the blood origin seeped through his meridians, freezing his profound veins, hindering the flow of his divine energy. His body trembled, frost forming on his skin, his breath coming in ragged gasps.

Despite his unconscious state, Yun Lintian's instincts fought back. The Divine Phoenix, the Golden Crow, and the Vermilion Bird bloodlines roared to life, their combined power attempting to subdue the rampaging icy energy. The Tree of Life within his Divine Core pulsed with a vibrant green light, desperately trying to maintain a semblance of balance.

But the Ice Phoenix blood origin was relentless, its chilling power overwhelming his defenses. His profound veins froze, his meridians constricted, his divine energy stagnated. His body grew rigid, his breath shallow, his consciousness fading further into the depths of unconsciousness.

Just as it seemed the icy energy would consume him, a surge of warmth erupted from within his Divine Core. The Sun symbol, fueled by the essence of the Primordial Sun God itself, ignited with a fiery intensity, battling against the encroaching cold.

The frozen wasteland within his sea of consciousness became a battlefield of fire and ice, the two opposing forces clashing in a titanic struggle. The Azure Dragon and Black Turtle bloodlines joined the fray, their powers adding to the chaotic mix, their roars echoing through the ethereal realm.

The Tree of Life, caught in the crossfire, struggled to maintain its balance, its branches swaying, its roots trembling. Yet, amidst the chaos, it continued to draw upon the boundless energy of the universe, feeding Yun Lintian's exhausted reserves, providing a lifeline in this desperate struggle.

The battle raged for what seemed like an eternity, the outcome hanging in the balance. Yun Lintian's fate, his very existence, teetered on the precipice, dependent on the outcome of this internal conflict.

At this moment, the Ice Phoenix stirred, her consciousness slowly returning from the depths of slumber. She opened her eyes, her gaze blurry and unfocused, her mind still clouded with the remnants of her fragmented soul.

As her senses sharpened, she became aware of the warmth enveloping her, a comforting heat that contrasted starkly with the icy coldness that had permeated her being for so long. She felt a weight upon her body, a presence both familiar and foreign, a source of both comfort and confusion.

Her eyes focused, her gaze falling upon Yun Lintian's unconscious form, his body draped over hers, his head resting upon her chest. His face was pale, his brow furrowed in concentration, his body trembling slightly as if battling against an unseen force.

She reached out, her fingers gently tracing the lines of his face, her touch sending a shiver through his body, a spark of warmth amidst the chilling energy that raged within him.

As her senses fully returned, she realized what had transpired. The memories of her fragmented soul, her weakened state, all came flooding back. She understood Yun Lintian's actions, his attempt to heal her, to restore her soul.

A wave of conflicting emotions washed over her, her heart torn between gratitude and anger. She had always been a creature of solitude, her heart encased in a layer of ice, her emotions buried deep beneath the surface.

But Yun Lintian's actions had stirred something within her, a warmth that thawed the icy barriers around her heart, a spark of connection that ignited a flame she had never known before.

She looked at him, her eyes filled with a complexity of emotions she couldn't comprehend. She wanted to be angry, to rebuke him for violating her unconscious state, for taking such a liberty without her consent. But she also felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude, a deep appreciation for his decisive act, his willingness to risk everything to save her.

Her gaze fell upon his trembling form, his body struggling to contain the surge of icy energy that coursed through his veins. She could sense his profound veins freezing, his meridians constricting, his life force wavering.

She realized that his body was battling against the overwhelming power of her blood origin, his very existence hanging in the balance.

Normally, the Ice Phoenix's blood origin wouldn't be difficult for Yun Lintian to refine, but because it came from her Primal Yin, and he had spent a lot of energy to treat her, Yun Lintian was unable to resist it.

A wave of concern washed over the Ice Phoenix, a feeling she had never experienced before, a protectiveness that stirred within her icy heart. She couldn't bear to see him suffer, to see his life fade away because of her.

She hesitated, her instincts battling against her ingrained aloofness. She had always been a solitary creature, her emotions hidden, her vulnerability concealed. But now, faced with the prospect of losing this man who had shown her such kindness, she felt a surge of warmth within her, a desire to protect him, to heal him, to reciprocate his sacrifice.

With a newfound determination, she gently pushed him onto his back, her gaze fixed on his pale face, his furrowed brow, his trembling lips. She channeled her own divine energy, the icy power of the Ice Phoenix flowing through her veins, radiating outwards, enveloping Yun Lintian in a soothing aura of cold.

She gently placed her hand upon his chest, her touch sending a shiver through his body, a spark of icy energy that countered the raging heat within him. She guided her energy into his meridians, carefully merging her Yin essence with his Yang essence, restoring the delicate balance, soothing the tumultuous clash of opposing forces.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Hmm..."

She moved her body atop his, their forms intertwining once more, their energies merging in a harmonious dance of Yin and Yang. Her movements were gentle yet deliberate, each motion guided by her newfound understanding of his essence, her desire to heal him, to restore the balance he had risked to save her...
