Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2507: Temptation (1)



Yun Lintian, his gaze fixed on the imposing Gate of the Abyss, observed the fading ripples of chaotic energy with a thoughtful expression. The chilling voice that had echoed from within the gate still resonated in his mind, a stark reminder of the immense power that lay dormant within.

"Does this happen often?" he inquired, his voice carrying a hint of concern.

Dian Lun nodded, his expression grim. "It has become more frequent in recent years," he explained, his voice laced with a hint of weariness. "Many years ago, such disturbances occurred once every ten thousand years. Now, they happen almost every year."

Yun Lintian's brow furrowed, his mind grappling with the implications. The increasing frequency of these disturbances suggested that the seal on the Gate of the Abyss was weakening, the Chasm of Uncreation's power growing stronger with each passing day.

He pondered for a long moment, weighing the risks and rewards, the potential consequences of his actions. He had come to the Abyssal Rift seeking answers, seeking to unravel the mysteries of this chaotic realm. But now, he found himself facing a decision that could potentially alter the fate of the universe.

He glanced at Xia Nongyue, who stood beside him, her expression unreadable. He could sense her thoughts echoing his own, the weight of the situation settling upon them both.

Finally, Yun Lintian made his decision. He turned to Dian Lun, his eyes filled with newfound resolve.

"I will help," he declared, his voice firm and unwavering. "I will reinforce the seal on the Gate of the Abyss."

Dian Lun's eyes widened in surprise, his expression a mixture of gratitude and disbelief. He had expected Yun Lintian to hesitate, to question the Lord of Chaos's motives, to demand further assurances.

"Are you certain?" Dian Lun asked.

Yun Lintian nodded, his gaze fixed on the imposing gate.

"Thank you. Do you need our help?" Dian Lun said with gratitude.

"No need." Yun Lintian shook his head and flew toward the gate.

Yun Lintian landed softly before the Gate of the Abyss, its sheer size and imposing presence casting a long shadow over him. The ancient runes etched into its surface pulsed with an eerie light, a testament to the immense power contained within.

He reached out a hand, his fingers tracing the intricate patterns, his mind delving into the depths of their meaning.

He could sense the chaotic energy swirling within the gate, a tempestuous force threatening to break free from its confines. The seal, weakened by the passage of time and the relentless assault of the Chasm of Uncreation, was barely holding on.

Yun Lintian's brow furrowed in concentration as he analyzed the intricate formations that comprised the seal. He recognized the underlying principles, the delicate balance of opposing forces that held the chaotic energy in check.

However, this seal was far more complex than any he had encountered before, its structure interwoven with the very fabric of reality, its power drawn from the essence of the universe itself.

He spent hours studying the seal, his mind a whirlwind of calculations and deductions, his understanding of formation art expanding with each passing moment. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, he grasped the essence of the seal, its intricate workings laid bare before his mind's eye.

With newfound clarity, Yun Lintian began to channel his divine energy. He wove his energy into the seal, reinforcing its weakened formations, strengthening its hold on the chaotic forces within.

As his energy flowed into the gate, the runes and symbols on its surface glowed with renewed intensity, their light pulsating with a vibrant rhythm. The chaotic energy within the gate surged and swirled, resisting his efforts, its destructive force attempting to break free.

Suddenly, a cold, malevolent voice echoed through Yun Lintian's mind, its tone filled with ancient malice that chilled him to the bone.

"Oh, look. Who is this? A seed of fate?" the voice sneered, its words dripping with disdain. "Do you believe you can contain the chaos that I embody?"

Yun Lintian's eyes snapped open, his gaze fixed on the gate. He could feel the Chasm of Uncreation's presence, its immense power attempting to break free from its prison.

"You are a fool," the voice continued, its tone laced with a seductive whisper. "Release me, and I will grant you power beyond your wildest dreams. You will become a god among mortals, a ruler of this universe."

Yun Lintian's heart wavered for a moment, the seductive offer tempting his very soul. But he quickly regained his composure and realized that it was a kind of soul technique.

He didn't respond to the Chasm of Uncreation and continued to pour his energy into the gate. The Chasm of Uncreation, sensing Yun Lintian's resistance to its seductive whispers, shifted its tactics. It unleashed a torrent of mental assaults, probing Yun Lintian's mind, seeking out his deepest fears and insecurities, his hidden desires and ambitions.

"Do you not crave power, mortal?" the voice hissed, its tone laced with venomous mockery. "Do you not yearn for the strength to protect your loved ones, to shape your own destiny?"

Yun Lintian's heart throbbed with a familiar ache, the memories of his fallen comrades, the faces of those he had failed to protect, flashing before his eyes. He gritted his teeth, his resolve wavering under the onslaught of the Chasm's insidious whispers.

"I can give you that power," the voice continued, its tone now seductive and alluring. "Release me, and I will bestow upon you the power to transcend your mortal limitations, to become an invincible force, a true master of the universe."

Yun Lintian's mind reeled, his thoughts a chaotic jumble of doubt and temptation. The Chasm's words struck a chord within him, echoing his deepest desires, his yearning for the power to protect those he held dear.

"Do you not want to know your true identity?" the voice whispered, its tone now laced with tantalizing curiosity. "Do you not wonder why fate has chosen you, why you are the linchpin in this cosmic game?"

Yun Lintian's heart skipped a beat, his curiosity piqued. He had always felt a sense of destiny, a purpose that guided his path, but the true nature of his identity remained shrouded in

mystery.

"I can reveal all," the Chasm promised, its voice dripping with honeyed deceit. "Release me, and I will unveil the secrets of your past, the truth of your existence, the destiny that awaits

you."
