Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2607: God of Darkness (2)



Yun Lintian's arrival sent shockwaves through the fortress. The dark energy that permeated the air seemed to recoil in his presence, as if the very fabric of the Ancient Devil God Realm recognized the threat he posed.

The fortress, a structure built to withstand the chaos of the void, trembled under the weight of his aura. The Heaven Piercing Sword in his hand pulsed with divine light, its blade cutting through the darkness like a beacon of hope in an endless night.

As Yun Lintian advanced, a group of devil gods emerged from the shadows, their human forms radiating dark energy. They were Yao Huang's elite guards, each one a powerful cultivator in their own right. Their eyes glowed with malice as they surrounded Yun Lintian, their weapons drawn and ready to strike.

"Yun Lintian," one of them sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "You dare to trespass here? This is the heart of the Ancient Devil God Realm. You will not leave alive."

Yun Lintian didn't respond. His expression remained calm, but his eyes burned with a cold, unyielding determination. He raised the Heaven Piercing Sword, the God Mark of Light flaring to life along its blade. The light was pure and radiant, a stark contrast to the darkness that surrounded him.

The devil gods lunged at him, their movements swift and precise. Claws of shadow, blades of darkness, and waves of malevolent energy surged toward Yun Lintian, aiming to overwhelm him in an instant.

But Yun Lintian was faster. With a single, fluid motion, he swung the Heaven Piercing Sword, the blade cutting through the air with a blinding flash of light. The God Mark of Light surged forward, its radiant energy obliterating the dark attacks before they could reach him. The devil gods recoiled, their expressions twisting with shock and pain as the light seared their flesh.

Rip-

Yun Lintian didn't give them a chance to recover. He moved like a storm, his movements a blur of light and precision. Each swing of the Heaven Piercing Sword was merciless, each strike imbued with the power of the God Mark of Light. The blade cut through the devil gods' defenses as if they were paper, their dark energy no match for the purity of Yun Lintian's light.

One by one, the devil gods fell. Their bodies disintegrated into tendrils of black smoke, their essence unraveling under the relentless assault of the Heaven Piercing Sword. The corridor was filled with their screams, a cacophony of pain and despair that echoed through the fortress.

Yun Lintian didn't stop. He pressed forward, his movements relentless, his resolve unshakable. The devil gods tried to regroup, to form a defensive line, but it was futile. However, Yun Lintian was unstoppable, a force of nature that could not be contained.

As he cut through the last of the devil gods, Yun Lintian's gaze remained fixed on the path ahead. He could feel Yao Huang's presence growing stronger, the dark energy pulsing like a heartbeat in the distance. He was close.

Rumble-

The fortress seemed to tremble as Yun Lintian advanced, the walls cracking under the sheer force of his power. The runes that lined the corridors flickered and died, their dark energy extinguished by the radiant light of the Heaven Piercing Sword.

Yun Lintian did not pause. He moved like a whirlwind, his sword a blur of motion, cutting down every Devil God that dared to stand in his path. The power of the God Marks surged through him, enhancing his strength, his speed, his every movement.

The Devil Gods fell before him like wheat before a scythe, their bodies dissolving into nothingness as the Heaven Piercing Sword reaped its grim harvest.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Yun Lintian arrived at the heart of the fortress. The chamber was massive, its walls towering high into the sky, its ceiling lost in the darkness above. The air was thick with the stench of decay and destruction, and the ground was cracked and barren, devoid of life.

In the center of the chamber stood Yao Huang, his figure cloaked in darkness, his eyes burning with malice and hunger. The power of the God of Darkness radiated from him, a dark sun that seemed to consume everything in its path.

Flanking Yao Huang were the three Devil God Ancestors-Mo Han, Mo Qian, and Mo Liang. They were the last line of defense, the strongest of Yao Huang's subordinates. Their eyes glowed with a sinister light, their dark energy intertwining to form a barrier of malevolent power.

"Yun Lintian," Yao Huang said gloomily. "You dare to come here, to challenge me in my own domain? You are a fool, just like your predecessor."

Yun Lintian didn't say anything but stared at Yao Huang coldly.

Yao Huang's eyes burned with malice as he stared at Yun Lintian, his dark energy swirling around him like a storm.

"You," he said, his voice low and dangerous. "You actually managed to defeat Mo Xie. I must admit, I didn't expect that. Mo Xie was one of the strongest among us. Yet here you stand, unscathed. How... interesting."

Yun Lintian's expression remained calm, but his eyes were like ice. "Mo Xie was right about you," he said, his voice steady and cold. "You are arrogant. Even after refining the power of the God of Darkness, you still underestimate your enemies. That will be your downfall."

Yao Huang's expression darkened, his fists clenching at his sides. "Mo Xie... betrayed me?" he muttered, his voice filled with disbelief and rage. "That traitor... he dared to speak against me?... I see. He told you about this place!"

Yun Lintian didn't respond. He simply raised the Heaven Piercing Sword, the blade glowing with the God Mark of Light. The light was pure and radiant, a stark contrast to the darkness that surrounded them.

Yao Huang's eyes narrowed, his anger boiling over. "You think you can defeat me? You are nothing but a mortal, a pawn in the game of the gods. I am the inheritor of the God of Darkness, the master of all devils. You cannot hope to stand against me."

With a roar, Yao Huang signaled his subordinates to attack. "Kill him! Tear him apart!"

The three Devil God Ancestors lunged at Yun Lintian, their movements swift and precise. Their dark energy surged forward, forming a massive wave of malevolent power that threatened to engulf Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed slightly. He swung the Heaven Piercing Sword, the God Mark of Light flaring to life. The blade cut through the wave of darkness, its radiant energy dispersing

the attack with ease.

BOOM!-
