Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2286: Lurking In The Shadow (2)



Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed. He could sense Yin Ye's presence lurking within the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Suddenly, a chilling sensation crept up his spine. He instinctively turned, his Golden Crow flame flaring as he blocked a shadowy blade that materialized from the darkness.

BANG!!

The impact sent shockwaves rippling through the space, the sky trembling under the strain of their clashing powers.

Yin Ye emerged from the shadows, his grin even wider. "Your reaction is really good," he said, his voice laced with a hint of amusement. "But you're still too slow."

He vanished once more, his movements a blur of darkness. Yun Lintian, his senses heightened, followed his movements, his Golden Crow flame blazing as he countered each attack.

Through the Eyes of Heaven, Yun Lintian saw nothing but a sea of darkness around him. It was impossible to locate Yin Ye, who was lurking in the shadows.

"Confine," Yun Lintian uttered.

Instantly, the surrounding space constricted, forming a pocket dimension.

However, to his surprise, Yin Ye remained unaffected amidst the collapsing space. His figure shimmered, his form blending seamlessly into the surrounding shadows, disappearing from Yun Lintian's sight.

"You think you can trap me with this?" Yin Ye's voice echoed from the darkness, a chilling mockery in its tone. "My shadows exist beyond the confines of space. They are everywhere and nowhere."

A cold shiver ran down Yun Lintian's spine. He realized the futility of his attempt. The Law of Shadow, wielded by a master like Yin Ye, was a force to be reckoned with, its elusiveness and adaptability making it a formidable opponent for even the Law of Space.

"It seems I have no other choices," Yun Lintian said calmly, his voice devoid of fear.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his aura surging with a newfound intensity. The flames surrounding him transformed, their colors shifting and swirling, their energies merging and separating in a mesmerizing dance of elemental chaos.

The Law of Fire, ablaze with golden radiance, intertwined with the gentle caress of the Law of Wood, its verdant energy breathing life into the flames.

The Law of Metal, sharp and unyielding, lent its strength and resilience to the fiery maelstrom. The Law of Lightning, crackling with raw power, infused the flames with a devastating electrical charge.

The Law of Wind, swift and unpredictable, whipped the flames into a frenzy, their movements becoming a blur of motion.

The crowd outside the pocket dimension, their eyes glued to the shimmering barrier, watched in awed silence as the colors within the dimension danced and swirled, their energies

intertwining in a breathtaking spectacle of elemental harmony.

Within the dimension, Yin Ye grinned. He could feel the shift in Yun Lintian's aura, the sudden surge of power that radiated from his being. The shadows around him trembled, their darkness threatened by the encroaching light of the elemental chaos.

"I knew it. You are indeed related to the God of Elements," he said in a deep voice.

He vanished into the darkness once more, his movements even more elusive than before. He emerged from unexpected angles, his shadowy attacks striking with a newfound ferocity.

Yun Lintian, his senses heightened, met each attack with a counter of his own. He wielded the power of the elemental laws with a masterful precision, his flames dancing and swirling, his spatial manipulations warping and twisting the very fabric of reality.

The battle raged on, the two combatants locked in a relentless exchange of blows. The pocket dimension trembled under the strain of their immense power, its boundaries threatening to collapse under the relentless onslaught.

A while later, Yun Lintian felt the strain on his body, the immense power of the elemental laws taking its toll. His movements began to slow, his attacks losing their initial ferocity.

"Heh. Reaching your limit already?" Yin Ye, sensing Yun Lintian's weakening resolve, pressed his advantage. He unleashed a barrage of shadowy attacks, his movements a blur of darkness as he struck from every angle.

Yun Lintian, his defenses faltering, was forced to retreat, his body battered and bruised. He knew that he was reaching his limit, his energy reserves dwindling rapidly.

"This is it," Yin Ye declared, his voice echoing through the distorted space. "Your time has come."

He raised his hand, summoning a vortex of shadows that coalesced into a monstrous, shadowy beast. The beast's eyes glowed with a malevolent light, its claws dripping with a corrosive darkness.

Roarrrr-

With a roar that shook the dimension, the shadowy beast lunged towards Yun Lintian, its jaws open wide, ready to devour him whole.

"What is this?" Yun Lintian, his back against the wall, knew that he had no choice but to unleash his trump card. He closed his eyes, his aura shifting once more as he tapped into the deepest recesses of his soul.

A chilling silence descended upon the pocket dimension, the air growing still as the temperature plummeted to absolute zero.

Yun Lintian's eyes snapped open, their glow now a haunting shade of violet. His body radiated an aura of death and decay, the very essence of life itself seeming to wither in his

presence.

The Great Law of Death, the ultimate power of negation, had been unleashed.

The shadowy beast, sensing the sudden shift in energy, faltered, its movements slowing as its form began to unravel. The corrosive darkness that clung to its claws dissipated, replaced by a shimmering, ethereal light.

Yin Ye narrowed his eyes in surprise. He finally understood how Huo Yanzeng was defeated. "The Great Law of Death?" he muttered, his voice barely a whisper. "But how is this possible? Who are you exactly?"

Yun Lintian remained silent. He raised his hand, the air around him crackling with deathly

energy.

The flames surrounding him, already infused with the power of the elemental laws, now flickered with a deathly aura, their heat capable of extinguishing not only physical matter but also the very essence of life itself.

"Roar!" The shadowy beast, its form dissolving under the onslaught of deathly flames, let out a final, despairing roar before vanishing into nothingness.

Yin Ye's face sank. Even a True God like him could not confront the Great Law of Death head-

on.

Instantly, his entire body morphed into a shadow and vanished from the spot.

"Where are you going?" Yun Lintian uttered coldly.

He took a step forward, his body radiating an aura of death and destruction that filled the

entire space.

Rumble-

The pocket dimension trembled violently, its boundaries threatening to collapse under the

absolutely destructive power...
