Chapter 2439: Beyond The Wall (2)
The woman’s sword flashed, unleashing a wave of celestial energy that tore through the void, while the Shadow Demon unleashed a torrent of dark energy blasts, each crackling with the power to corrupt and annihilate.
Yun Lintian’s eyes narrowed, his grip tightening on the Heaven Piercing Sword. He adopted a defensive stance, his body poised to react to any sudden movement. He wanted to see how strong these outlaws were.
Rumble-
The combined attack crashed toward him like a raging storm, threatening to engulf him in a maelstrom of destructive energy. Yun Lintian remained unmoved, his expression calm and focused.
“Break.”
At the last moment, Yun Lintian unleashed his power, channeling the Law of Space to create a spatial distortion. The incoming attacks, caught in the warp of reality, veered off course, harmlessly dissipating into the void.
The woman and the Shadow Demon stumbled, momentarily disoriented by the sudden shift in their attack trajectory. Yun Lintian seized the opportunity, his body blurring into motion.
He lunged forward, his Heaven Piercing Sword a golden streak that sliced through the chaos. The woman, caught off guard, barely managed to raise her sword in defense.
Clang!
The clash of blades echoed through the void, sparks flying as the two weapons met. Yun Lintian’s strike, however, carried an irresistible force, imbued with the combined might of the four Great Laws.
The woman staggered backward, her sword nearly ripped from her grasp. Yun Lintian, however, ignored her for the time being, his focus shifting to the more formidable threat: the Shadow Demon.
The creature hissed, its humanoid form flickering as it attempted to meld back into the darkness. Yun Lintian had anticipated this, however. He had already grasped the essence of the Law of Shadow, its secrets laid bare before his profound understanding.
With a flick of his wrist, Yun Lintian channeled the Law of Shadow, manipulating the very fabric of darkness that the Shadow Demon sought to command. The void around them rippled, the darkness solidifying, trapping the creature in its own element.
“Arghh!”
The Shadow Demon shrieked, its form contorting as it struggled against the constraints. It unleashed a barrage of dark energy blasts, hoping to break free from the prison Yun Lintian had woven.
Yun Lintian stood firm, his Heaven Piercing Sword glowing with radiant light that pierced the encroaching darkness. He deflected the energy blasts with ease, his movements fluid and precise.
He then channeled the Law of Death, its chilling power surging into the Shadow Demon. The creature writhed in agony, its form dissolving as the life force was drained from its very
essence.
With a final, agonizing shriek, the Shadow Demon vanished, its existence extinguished, leaving behind only a wisp of dark energy that quickly dissipated into the void.
Yun Lintian turned his attention back to the woman, who stood frozen in fear, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Yun Lintian approached her slowly, his sword still raised. The woman trembled, her instincts screaming at her to flee, but her body refused to obey.
“Who are you?” Yun Lintian asked, his voice resonating with an authority that brooked no defiance.
The woman didn’t reply but secretly channeled her chaotic energy.
Yun Lintian glanced at her and swung the sword down, cutting off her left arm.
“Arghhh!!” The woman screamed in pain.
“This is the first warning. You better be honest,” Yun Lintian said indifferently.
The woman gritted her teeth, trying to suppress the pain. She looked at Yun Lintian with fear. “I… I’m Xue Li. I come from the Endless Snow Kingdom of God.”
“Endless Snow Kingdom of God?” Yun Lintian was puzzled inwardly. “How many kingdoms are there?”
Xue Li was visibly surprised upon hearing this. She looked at Yun Lintian carefully and asked, “Are you perhaps coming from the Realm of the Living?”
Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly. He didn’t quite understand.
Xue Li seemed to see through this and quickly explained, “This place is called the Realm of Chaos. It is where all dead realms gather. The Realm of the Living is a place where the profound laws are complete and stable.”
Yun Lintian immediately understood. “Go on. Answer my question.”
Xue Li said further, “There are six kingdoms and one haven. Each kingdom has its own regent. Everyone lives under the Lord of Chaos.”
Yun Lintian roughly understood the situation. The so-called haven must be where this Lord of Chaos resided. It was probably similar to the Central Region of the Primal Chaos.
He didn’t expect kingdoms here, as he always thought it was filled with Void Creatures and other outlaws.
“Why did you attack me with the Shadow Demon?” Yun Lintian asked.
“Compared to the Shadow Demon, a threat from other humans is more dangerous,” Xue Li replied truthfully. “This is clearly your first time here. I can tell you that it is far from the harmonious environment you came from.”
She took out a pill and stuffed it into her mouth, circulating her chaotic energy.
Yun Lintian didn’t stop her. His mind was occupied by the newfound information. It seemed everything he knew about the world beyond the wall was entirely different from the real situation.
His gaze happened to land on Xue Li’s chest under her tattered robe. Yun Lintian immediately noticed a black scar that looked like a crystal on her white skin. It reminded him of the Spirit Bead he saw in the Ancient Battlefield.
Xue Li noticed his gaze and quickly adjusted her robe while lowering her head.
“What’s that scar?” Yun Lintian asked.
Xue Li looked at him with a complicated gaze and said, “I don’t know if you can go back to your realm, but I suggest you return as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will be infected with
Primordial Decay.”
“Primordial Decay?” Yun Lintian frowned slightly.
“Yes,” Xue Li nodded with a serious expression. “Any living being here will be consumed by the chaotic energy. Their bodies will gradually crystallize and transform into a chaos creature like the Shadow Demon and the Void Creatures. The only way to stay alive is to go to the Haven of Chaos where the Lord of Chaos resides and ask for his blessings.”
Yun Lintian’s eyes flickered slightly. He suddenly thought of Yue Yun’s words. Clearly, the power of chaos could remove this Primordial Decay disease. The so-called Lord of Chaos must be someone who also mastered this power… Who exactly was he?
