Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2508: Temptation (2)



Yun Lintian's resolve wavered, his mind a battleground of conflicting emotions. The Chasm's words, like a siren's song, lured him closer to the precipice, tempting him to succumb to its promises, to unleash the chaos within.

"You are but a pawn in this game of fate, Yun Lintian," the voice hissed, its tone now laced with cruel mockery. "A puppet dancing to the strings of destiny, a tool to be used and discarded when your purpose is fulfilled."

Yun Lintian's heart shook, his composure faltering. The Chasm's words struck a nerve, echoing his deepest fears—the fear of being a mere plaything in the hands of fate, a disposable instrument in a grand cosmic scheme.

"You will be cast aside like pathetic trash, your sacrifices meaningless, your existence forgotten," the voice continued, its tone dripping with venomous glee. "You are nothing but a fleeting spark in the grand tapestry of the universe, destined to be extinguished, your light swallowed by the eternal darkness."

Yun Lintian's body trembled, his mind reeling from the onslaught of the Chasm's insidious whispers. He felt despair creeping into his heart, a darkness threatening to consume his very being.

Dian Lun, observing Yun Lintian's struggle, felt a pang of concern. He had witnessed countless cultivators succumb to the Chasm of Uncreation's seductive whispers, their minds ensnared by its promises of power and knowledge. He could sense the darkness creeping into Yun Lintian's aura, the wavering of his resolve.

"Brother Yun!" he called out, his voice filled with urgency. "Do not waver! Do not listen to its lies!"

Xia Nongyue, her eyes narrowed in concern, also noticed the subtle shift in Yun Lintian's demeanor. She could sense the internal conflict raging within him, the battle between his unwavering determination and the seductive whispers of the Chasm.

"Yun Lintian," she said, her voice firm and resolute. "Remember your purpose. Remember those who believe in you."

The Chaos Knights, sensing the growing instability of the seal, intensified their efforts, their chants growing louder, their hands glowing with brighter light. The runes and symbols on the gate pulsed with renewed vigor, their power surging to contain the force within.

But Yun Lintian's wavering resolve threatened to undermine their efforts. The Chasm of Uncreation, sensing his vulnerability, pressed its advantage, its voice echoing through his mind, its promises growing more enticing, its threats more menacing.

"I can reveal the truth of your existence, Yun Lintian," the Chasm whispered, its voice a seductive caress. "I can show you the hidden threads of fate that bind you, the puppet masters who orchestrate your every move."

Yun Lintian's heart pounded in his chest, his curiosity battling against his better judgment. He yearned to know the truth, to understand the forces that had shaped his life, the destiny that awaited him.

"Release me," the Chasm urged, its voice a hypnotic melody. "And I will unveil the secrets of your past, the truth of your creation, the purpose for which you were brought into this world."

Yun Lintian's hand trembled, his fingers loosening their grip on the gate. He was on the verge of surrendering, of unleashing the chaos within, of succumbing to the Chasm's seductive promises.

Just as he was about to give in, a gentle warmth spread through his body, a comforting light emanating from the interspatial ring on his finger.

The warmth of the ring pierced through the darkness that had begun to cloud Yun Lintian's mind, its gentle light illuminating his path, reminding him of his purpose, his loved ones, his unwavering determination to protect the universe from the forces of chaos.

With a gasp, Yun Lintian snapped back to his senses, his eyes widening in realization. He had almost succumbed to the Chasm's seductive whispers, almost betrayed his own beliefs, almost jeopardized the fate of the universe.

"You will not control me, Chasm of Uncreation," he declared, his voice echoing through the chamber, his words infused with newfound strength. "I am the master of my own fate, the architect of my own destiny."

He channeled his divine energy with renewed vigor. All the relic symbols on his Divine Core lit up, fueling his determination.

Buzz-

The runes and symbols on the gate glowed with blinding intensity, their power amplified by his defiance.

"I will not be a pawn in your game," Yun Lintian continued, his voice resonating with unwavering conviction. "I will not be a puppet dancing to the strings of fate. I will forge my own path, and I will defeat you, Chasm of Uncreation, even if it takes my last breath." The Chasm of Uncreation roared in frustration, its voice filled with rage and impotence. "It's you again, Yun Wushuang! How dare you interfere with my business!?"

Yun Lintian was slightly surprised and glanced at the ring on his finger. Without a doubt, the earlier gentle aura must have come from his mother, Yun Wushuang.

He continued to channel his divine energy into the gate, reinforcing the seal with speed and precision that surpassed his previous efforts.

The Chasm of Uncreation, its attempts to sway Yun Lintian thwarted, its power waning under the onslaught of his unwavering will, unleashed a final, desperate curse.

"I will make you regret this when I get out! All of you! I will tear you apart and gnaw on your bones!" it shrieked, its voice filled with venomous hatred.

Yun Lintian's heart sank. He wished to understand the relationship between his mother and the Chasm of Uncreation, but he knew it wasn't the right time.

With a final surge of his divine energy, Yun Lintian completed the reinforcement of the seal, the runes and symbols on the gate glowing with an impenetrable light. The Chasm of Uncreation, its power contained, its influence suppressed, was once again imprisoned within its eternal prison.

"Phew..." He let out a long breath and retracted his hand from the gate.

"Congratulations, Brother Yun." Dian Lun flew over and said with a relieved smile.

Xia Nongyue landed beside Yun Lintian and asked softly, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Yun Lintian responded, though his expression was clearly weary.

Xia Nongyue nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Yun Lintian turned to look at Dian Lun and said, "I hope your master keeps his word."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Don't worry, Brother Yun. I will send the message now," Dian Lun said firmly and beckoned one of the Chaos Knights to send a message.

He turned back to Yun Lintian and asked, "Where are you going next, Brother Yun?"

Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly, pondering his choices. Should he visit the Haven now?
