Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2564: Taking Control



Ye Yingxi stepped forward, her blood-stained robes fluttering in the chaotic wind. Her eyes burned with determination as she raised her hand, summoning a swirling vortex of dark energy that merged seamlessly with Yun Lintian's God Mark of Darkness.

"Let me help. It should be my battle." She said, her voice firm and resolute.

Yun Lintian nodded slightly. With Ye Yingxi's power added to his own, the balance of the battle shifted once more. The combined force of their dark energy surged forward, pushing back against Xi Baihe's radiant light.

Xi Baihe's playful smile returned, but this time, there was a hint of annoyance in her eyes. "Two against one? How unfair. But I suppose I'll have to entertain you both."

She raised both hands, and the light vortex around her expanded even further, its brilliance blinding. The ground beneath her feet cracked and shattered, and the air itself seemed to tremble under the weight of her power. Despite the combined efforts of Yun Lintian and Ye Yingxi, Xi Baihe's light energy remained unyielding.

"Eternal Radiance." Xi Baihe declared, her voice echoing with divine authority.

The light vortex transformed into a massive pillar of pure light, shooting into the sky before crashing down toward Yun Lintian and Ye Yingxi like a divine hammer. The sheer force of the attack was enough to make even the most seasoned cultivators tremble in fear.

Yun Lintian and Ye Yingxi exchanged a quick glance, their minds in sync. They knew they couldn't afford to hold back. Together, they channeled their energy, merging their powers into a single, concentrated attack.

The darkness around them condensed into a massive black sphere, radiating an aura of absolute void. The sphere shot forward, colliding with Xi Baihe's pillar of light in a cataclysmic explosion.

BOOM!!!

The shockwave from the collision tore through the battlefield, obliterating everything in its path. The ruins of the Eternal Night Palace were reduced to dust, and the ground was carved into a massive crater. The sky above was split into two-one half bathed in blinding light, the other shrouded in impenetrable darkness.

When the dust settled, Yun Lintian and Ye Yingxi stood side by side, their breathing heavy but their resolve unshaken. Xi Baihe, however, remained untouched, her figure radiating an ethereal glow. She looked at them with a mixture of amusement and disdain.

"You two are quite the pair," Xi Baihe said, her voice smooth and melodic. "But even together, you're no match for me. My power is beyond anything you can imagine."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Your power may be strong, Xi Baihe, but it's not invincible. There's always a weakness." Ye Yingxi said coldly.

"Really? Why don't you tell me?" Xi Baihe chuckled.

Yun Lintian stepped forward, his hand raised to stop Ye Yingxi from launching another attack. His eyes were calm but filled with determination as he spoke. "Leave this to me."

Ye Yingxi hesitated, her grip tightening on her sword. She wanted to argue, to insist on fighting alongside him, but something in Yun Lintian's gaze made her pause. She nodded reluctantly and took a step back, though her eyes remained locked on Xi Baihe, ready to intervene if needed.

Xi Baihe tilted her head, her silver hair shimmering under the dim light. Her lips curled into a playful smile as she observed Yun Lintian. "Oh? Going solo now?... Show me what you got."

Yun Lintian didn't respond. Instead, he raised the Heaven Piercing Sword, the blade humming with dark energy. The God Mark of Darkness within his Divine Core flared to life, and the air around him grew heavy with shadowy power. He focused his energy, channeling the full force of the Law of Darkness into his attack.

"Devour," Yun Lintian said calmly.

A massive vortex of darkness surged forward, its tendrils reaching out like the claws of a beast, seeking to devour Xi Baihe's radiant light. The ground beneath the vortex cracked and crumbled, unable to withstand the sheer force of the attack.

Xi Baihe's smile didn't falter. She raised her hand, and the air around her crackled with energy. A radiant light burst forth from her palm, forming a swirling vortex of pure light energy. The vortex expanded rapidly, its brilliance blinding as it surged toward Yun Lintian's darkness.

"Eternal Radiance," Xi Baihe declared, her voice echoing with authority.

BOOOM-

The two forces collided in a deafening explosion, the shockwaves rippling through the battlefield.

For a moment, the light and darkness seemed evenly matched, but then Xi Baihe's light began to push back, its purity and strength overwhelming Yun Lintian's darkness.

Yun Lintian's narrowed his eyes slightly as he felt the immense pressure of Xi Baihe's light energy pressing down on him. His God Mark of Darkness was powerful, but Xi Baihe's light was unnaturally pure and overwhelming.

Buzz-

All of a sudden, the Light Pole symbol on his Divine Core it up with a brilliant glow.

With a deep breath, Yun Lintian channeled the power of the Law of Light. He raised the Heaven Piercing Sword, and the blade began to emit a radiant light, its brilliance rivaling Xi Baihe's own.

Xi Baihe's playful smile faltered for the first time. Her eyes narrowed as she observed Yun Lintian, her expression shifting from amusement to curiosity. "Oh?"

Yun Lintian didn't respond. He could feel the light energy surging through his veins, its purity and strength overwhelming.

With a swift motion, Yun Lintian swung the Heaven Piercing Sword, sending a wave of radiant light toward Xi Baihe. The light energy surged forward, its brilliance blinding as it collided with Xi Baihe's own light vortex.

BOOM!

The collision created a deafening explosion, the shockwaves rippling through the battlefield. The ground trembled, and the air itself seemed to burn under the intensity of the light.

For a moment, the battlefield was consumed in a blinding clash of two light vortexes.

Xi Baihe's playful smile had completely vanished now, replaced by a look of genuine surprise. Her light vortex, which had been unstoppable moments ago, began to waver under Yun Lintian's assault.

She narrowed her eyes slightly. "Oh? Are you trying to control my power? That's a bold move I

must say."

Yun Lintian didn't answer. With a swift motion, Yun Lintian raised his hand, and the Heaven Piercing Sword glowed brighter.

The radiant light emanating from the blade intensified, and Yun Lintian felt a surge of power

as he began to take control of Xi Baihe's light energy. It was as if the light itself recognized him, as if it were bending to his will.

Xi Baihe's eyes widened in surprise when she saw this scene. "How...?"
