Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2426: Return To Dust (2)



As the world stood still, the Heaven Piercing Sword, now infused with the radiant power of the seven elemental swords, thrummed with an energy that defied comprehension. It pulsed with a light that eclipsed the dim glow of the shattered heavens, casting long, dancing shadows across the battlefield.

Qin Juehai, momentarily stunned by the sudden shift in Jian Yun's aura, felt a prickle of fear crawl down his spine. He instinctively raised his stolen sword, its chaotic energy flickering in response to the overwhelming power emanating from Jian Yun.

But it was too late.

Jian Yun swung the Heaven Piercing Sword in a single, fluid motion that seemed to encapsulate the very essence of swordsmanship. The air rippled and distorted, reality itself bending under the sheer force of his intent.

A wave of pure, unadulterated energy erupted from the Heaven Piercing Sword, washing over the battlefield like a celestial tsunami. It was a power that transcended the elements, a power that embodied the very concept of annihilation.

"Scatter," Jian Yun uttered, his voice echoing through the stilled space, a solemn pronouncement of Qin Juehai's fate.

Qin Juehai, his eyes wide with terror, could only watch in helpless horror as the wave of annihilation engulfed him. He felt his defenses crumble, his borrowed power dissipating like mist under the morning sun. His body began to dissolve, his very existence unraveling at its

core.

"No!" he screamed, his voice a desperate cry that was swallowed by the overwhelming power of Jian Yun's technique. "This is impossible!"

But his denial was futile. He was no match for the true Sword God, the embodiment of swordsmanship, the master of the Heaven Piercing Sword.

His body disintegrated, his essence scattering into the wind, his existence erased from the annals of reality. He was returned to dust, his ambition, his treachery, his very being, wiped clean from the face of the Primal Chaos.

The wave of annihilation subsided, leaving behind an eerie silence. The desolate landscape bore witness to the power of a true Sword God, its scarred surface a testament to the battle that had just transpired.

Jian Yun stood amidst the aftermath, his blind eyes seemingly gazing into the void where Qin Juehai had once stood. His expression remained unchanged, a mask of serenity that hid the turmoil within.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The broken Rain and Cloud Swords, including Rui Xian's sword, fell to the ground one after another.

Jian Yun sheathed the Heaven Piercing Sword, its chaotic aura receding, its power dormant once more. The seven elemental swords, their light dimming, hovered around him.

"Cough!" Jian Yun coughed up a mouthful of blood. His face turned ghastly pale, and his body trembled. He tried his best to stand still.

"Senior..." He Chong wanted to help him, but Jian Yun suddenly turned to look at him.

"The threat is not over," he said, his voice filled with weary determination. "The tunnel to the world beyond the wall remains open. We must prepare for the coming storm."

He Chong and the other Ancient True Gods nodded solemnly, their hearts heavy with the weight of their responsibility.

Suddenly, Jian Yun's expression changed. With a flicker of his hand, the seven elemental swords and the Heaven Piercing Sword flew towards the prison where Yun Lintian's group was locked up.

Swoosh!

The swords transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the prison.

Before He Chong and the others could react, a beautiful woman in white suddenly appeared. She was so beautiful as to be beyond description. Her entire body emitted a serene and untouchable aura.

She looked at Jian Yun and said emotionlessly, "Decisive enough. Come with me."

Jian Yun turned to look at He Chong and said, "You must take them away from this place when he comes out."

"Senior, you...?" He Chong couldn't comprehend the situation.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The elderly Ancient True God stepped forward to stop He Chong and said to Jian Yun, "Don't worry, Senior. We will take him away."

Jian Yun nodded and turned to look at the woman. "Although you've refined her power, you are not her."

The woman in white ignored his words and waved her hand. A gentle white light instantly flashed and wrapped around Jian Yun. In the next moment, she disappeared with him.

"That woman..." the female Ancient True God said with a solemn expression. "The God of Light's power?"

"Indeed," the elderly Ancient True God nodded solemnly. "She has already surpassed the True God Realm."

He Chong and the others were shocked.

"You mean...?" He Chong couldn't believe it.

The elderly Ancient True God stroked his beard and said with a serious expression, "Everything was a trap. From the woman who appeared at the beginning to Qin Juehai and the woman in white-it's all a trap to capture Senior Sword God."

Everyone was startled and quickly realized that this was indeed the case. Jian Yun, despite his injury, could unleash terrifying power beyond the True God Realm. It was uncertain whether the woman in white would be able to capture him.

Clearly, Tantai Xue and Qin Juehai appeared to weaken Jian Yun. They knew that he wouldn't leave this place while Yun Lintian was there. Even if he knew it was a trap, Jian Yun had no choice but to step into it.

"This is... terrifying," the female Ancient True God said.

"What should we do now?" another Ancient True God asked.

The elderly Ancient True God looked at the prison and said, "We wait... Clearly, whoever is behind this doesn't care about us. We are probably like ants in their eyes. We must stay here to complete Senior Sword God's instruction."

He Chong and the other Ancient True Gods exchanged glances and remained silent. They had

no objections.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye. Yun Lintian was still sitting next to the wall, tracing his finger along the complicated laws within it. During this period, he had solved many restrictions, but he couldn't simply leave this place or summon the Gate of Beyond Heaven. The Heaven Piercing Sword and the seven elemental swords lay peacefully on the ground beside him. When they appeared inside the prison five years ago, Yun Lintian had a bad premonition. Something must have happened to Jian Yun.

Unfortunately, he couldn't leave this damned place as he wished.

Yun Lintian's forehead was covered with sweat as he concentrated on the profound laws.

Qingqing raised her little hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead from time to time.

Suddenly, Yun Lintian's eyes lit up. "Found it!"

His aura immediately surged, followed by a cracking sound.

Crackle!
