Myth Beyond Heaven

The moment Yun Lintian broke free from the abyss, Aunt Liu's patience snapped.

This man is too dangerous!

Her sword flashed as she lunged from behind—a surprise attack aimed at Yun Lintian's exposed back.

Yun Lintian didn't even turn.

He knew.

Just as he was about to counter—

"ENOUGH!"

Hei Yue's voice cracked like thunder. A palm strike of pure dark energy slammed into Aunt Liu mid-air, sending her tumbling violently through the void.

Aunt Liu barely stabilized herself, coughing blood. "Young Miss! He—"

"Shut. Up."

Hei Yue's gaze was glacial. The playful girl was gone—only the heir of darkness remained. "I gave you an order. Disobey again, and I'll break your cultivation myself."

Aunt Liu's face paled. She clenched her fists... but bowed her head. "Yes, Young Miss."

Hei Yue exhaled, her irritation fading as she turned to Yun Lintian. "Sorry about that."

Yun Lintian's expression didn't change. He simply nodded, spear still ready.

Hei Yue studied him, then grinned. "You're the first to force me this far. Even Father's generals can't make me use my true strength."

As she spoke, something impossible happened.

The swirling darkness around Hei Yue... split.

From within the abyss, light emerged—pure, radiant, and utterly alien to the Eternal Darkness Realm. It coiled around her left arm like liquid sunfire, forming a second sword of blinding brilliance.

Yun Lintian's eyes widened.

Two Primordial God powers? And they're actually light and darkness…

This defied all cosmic laws. Light and darkness were eternal opposites, unable to merge without annihilation.

Yun Lintian thought that he was the only special one because of the Beyond Heaven Profound Vein. Yet here… It seemed he had severely underestimated the Primordial Era. Everything seemed possible here.

Hei Yue stood perfectly balanced between both, her smile now serene.

"Surprised?" She twirled the twin swords—one black as oblivion, one white as creation. "Father calls it Primordial Harmony. I call it... fun."

She moved.

Hei Yue's attacks became a symphony of contradictions.

Her dark sword erased space.

Her light sword rewrote reality.

Every clash against Yun Lintian's spear sent shockwaves of opposing energies ripping through the void—patches of darkness swallowing light, bursts of illumination burning away shadows.

Yun Lintian adapted instantly.

His White Tiger bloodline enhanced his reflexes further, while the Azure Dragon's spatial mastery let him phase between dimensions mid-strike. Yet even so—

She's faster.

Hei Yue's light blade grazed his shoulder, searing flesh. Her dark sword followed, aiming for his ribs—

Clang!

Yun Lintian barely parried, but the impact numbed his arm.

He counterattacked with a spear thrust infused with twin Divine Beast energies—

Hei Yue laughed, crossing her swords. "Yin-Yang Sever!"

Light and darkness collided at the spear's tip—

BOOM!

The explosion hurled them apart. Yun Lintian's spear trembled, its divine light flickering.

Aunt Liu watched in horrified awe. She's actually using both primordial powers against him...!

Hei Yue didn't pause. She flicked her wrists—

Ten thousand blades of light and darkness materialized, a storm of annihilation and creation.

"Endless Duality!"

The blades rained down.

There was no dodging this.

So Yun Lintian embraced it.

He slammed his spear into the void, roaring: "Dragon-Tiger Domain!"

Azure and gold energy erupted, forming a swirling barrier of intertwined dragon and tiger phantoms. The blades struck—

Boom! Boom! BOOM!

Each impact shook the domain, cracks spreading. But Yun Lintian wasn't done.

His eyes glowed as he activated his God Marks—

Light. To resist the darkness.

Space. To warp reality.

Fire and Thunder. To overwhelm.

The domain detonated, a supernova of power vaporizing Hei Yue's blades.

In that instant of blindness—

Yun Lintian teleported behind her, spear aimed at her heart.

Hei Yue smiled over her shoulder.

"Got you."

Her light sword melted, reforming as a radiant shield that absorbed the spear's momentum. Her dark sword stabbed backward—

Yun Lintian twisted, but not fast enough.

The blade pierced his side.

"Big Brother Yun!" Linlin's scream echoed in his mind.

Cold. That was all Yun Lintian felt as darkness energy flooded his veins. Not pain—just emptiness, as if his very existence was unraveling.

Hei Yue leaned close, whispering: "Yield?"

Yun Lintian locked eyes with her—

And smiled.

All of a sudden, Yun Lintian's hand shot out like lightning, fingers clamping around Hei Yue's wrist. His eyes flashed with azure-gold light as the Beyond Heaven Profound Vein pulsed within him.

A terrifying phenomenon occurred—

Hei Yue's twin swords flickered, their power wavering. The light dimmed, the darkness faded. Her eyes widened in shock as she felt her Primordial energies being suppressed.

"What—?"

Yun Lintian's voice was calm. "I didn't expect you to wield two Primordial God powers." His grip tightened. "But this ends now."

Dragon Fist!

ROAR!

Yun Lintian's free fist lashed out, transforming into a colossal azure-gold dragon head mid-strike. The air itself screamed as the attack tore through space.

Hei Yue barely raised her swords in time—

BOOOOOOM!

The impact sent her hurtling backward like a meteor, blood spraying from her lips in a crimson arc. Her swords shattered, the remnants of light and darkness dissipating into nothingness.

"Young Miss!" Aunt Liu shrieked, darting forward to catch Hei Yue's limp body. The older woman's hands trembled as she cradled her charge, her face ashen with horror. "How dare you—!"

Yun Lintian ignored her. His gaze lifted to the endless void above.

"How long are you going to watch?"

Silence.

Then—

A voice echoed through the Eternal Darkness Realm. Ancient. Powerful. Inevitable.

"Interesting."

The darkness itself parted, revealing a towering figure clad in robes of living shadow. His presence made the realm tremble, the very laws of reality bending around him.

The God of Darkness!

"To think I would see someone like you here," the god mused, his voice vibrating through Yun Lintian's bones. "And your aura... does not belong to this era."

Aunt Liu immediately prostrated herself, pressing Hei Yue protectively to the ground. "M-My Lord!"

Yun Lintian remained standing, spear still in hand. His heartbeat was steady despite the god's overwhelming presence.

He'd been right.

The God of Darkness had been observing everything.

The deity's gaze—twin pools of infinite night—studied Yun Lintian. "You subdued my daughter's Primordial energies. That should be impossible."

A weak cough drew their attention. Hei Yue stirred in Aunt Liu's arms, wiping blood from her lips. Her eyes, though dazed, burned with unquenched excitement. "F-Father... he's amazing..."

The God of Darkness ignored her. His focus remained on Yun Lintian. "Who are you, truly?"

Yun Lintian met that world-ending gaze without flinching. "A traveler."
