BOOOOOOM-
The clash was cataclysmic, a collision of opposing forces that shook the very foundations of the Abyssal Rift.
Celestial light and consuming darkness clashed in a blinding explosion, the shockwaves
rippling through the chaotic expanse, shattering the remaining obsidian spires, and
distorting the very fabric of space and time.
For a moment, the world seemed to hold its breath, the chaotic energies frozen in a tableau of destruction. Then, slowly, the darkness began to recede, the celestial light pushing back
against the consuming void.
The Abyssal Devourer Sword, its power spent, shattered into a million pieces, its dark aura dissipating into nothingness. Ming Jun, his body trembling from the exertion, stumbled back, his eyes wide with disbelief.
He had unleashed his full power, his ultimate attack, and yet Yun Lintian had deflected it with seemingly effortless ease. The realization struck him like a thunderbolt, shattering his pride, his confidence, his very foundation as a Chaos Knight.
He had been defeated.
Yun Lintian, his breathing steady, his expression calm, lowered the Heaven Piercing Sword, its celestial light dimming as the chaotic energies subsided. He met Ming Jun's gaze, his eyes filled with a mixture of respect and pity.
"You are a skilled swordsman," he said, his voice carrying a hint of sympathy. "But your reliance on the chaotic energies has blinded you to the true essence of the sword path."
Ming Jun nodded slowly as he recovered from the defeat. He had dedicated his life to the pursuit of swordsmanship, honing his skills, mastering the art of the sword. But in his pursuit of power, he had strayed from the true path, allowing the chaotic energies to corrupt his swordsmanship, to taint his spirit.
He looked at Yun Lintian, his eyes filled with newfound respect. "You have shown me the error of my ways," he said, his voice hoarse. "I was blindly arrogant before. Please forgive me."
Yun Lintian put the Heaven Piercing Sword away. "No, you're not wrong. I have indeed borrowed an external force."
Ming Jun stared at Yun Lintian for a moment. "The next time we meet, I will show you my true sword path."
"Sure," Yun Lintian smiled faintly and turned to Dian Lun. "I'll be leaving now, Brother Dian. Thank you for everything."
"Alright. Be careful on the way out. I'm afraid those creatures must have gone crazy now," Dian Lun said with a serious expression.
"I will." Yun Lintian nodded slightly and left with Xia Nongyue.
As the two disappeared from everyone's sight, Dian Lun's demeanor changed drastically. His friendly appearance was gone, replaced by a cold temperament.
He looked at Ming Jun and asked calmly, "Was it our lord's order?"
"Yes," Ming Jun responded indifferently. "He wants to know his current strength."
"Fortunately, he's naive. Otherwise, you would have lost your life here," Dian Lun said gently.
"Naive?" Ming Jun turned to look at Dian Lun. "It seems your power cannot be used on him. He isn't as naive as you think, at least from the way he struck me earlier."
Dian Lun frowned slightly. "Is that so? But it doesn't matter. Our mission has been completed."
Ming Jun's eyes flickered slightly. No one knew what he was thinking.

Yun Lintian and Xia Nongyue flew across the endless darkness, heading toward the entrance of the Abyssal Rift.
"Did you hold back earlier?" Xia Nongyue asked.
"What do you think?" Yun Lintian replied calmly.
Xia Nongyue took a deep look at him. "I feel like I have never known you. Everything you showed previously is false."
Yun Lintian looked at her with a smile. "Do you know what the best deception is?" he asked.
Without waiting for Xia Nongyue to reply, he continued, "The best deception is when the people on your side cannot see through it. To deceive someone, a mixture of truth and falsehood is necessary."
Xia Nongyue felt that the man in front of her wasn't the Yun Lintian she had known over the past month.
"But you don't have to worry. I have no malicious intentions toward you," Yun Lintian said gently.
"Why?" Xia Nongyue asked.
"Don't you know it in your heart?" Yun Lintian responded. "You must have figured out my identity the moment I took out the Heaven Piercing Sword."
Xia Nongyue was silent for a moment. "To tell you the truth, I am not sure. Your sword art undoubtedly comes from my friend, Jian Yun, including your Heaven Piercing Sword. However, I can also see that you are not his successor. After all, you are not a sword
cultivator."
"Moreover, the power you have displayed is beyond my comprehension. You can use all the Great Laws and the laws of the elements. It reminded me of..."
"The Beyond Heaven King," Yun Lintian interjected. "Indeed, I am his successor."
Xia Nongyue trembled upon hearing this. She stared at Yun Lintian attentively. "Can you show me?"
Yun Lintian didn't say anything and summoned the Beyond Heaven King's Crown. Instantly, the crown appeared on his head.
Xia Nongyue's eyes blurred as she saw the familiar crown. The shadow of Yun Tian emerged in her mind, reminding her of someone she missed dearly.
"You... How?" Xia Nongyue asked with a trembling voice.
Yun Lintian was slightly surprised by her reaction. He thought that Xia Nongyue must have known. Otherwise, why would she go to the Azure World and leave her traces there? "Honestly, I still don't know how he passed his legacy to me." Yun Lintian began to recount his situation from the moment he opened his eyes in the Misty Cloud Sect back in the Azure
World.
Xia Nongyue listened to his narration attentively, and her mind became clearer. She seemed to understand everything.
"Before the Primordial God Tribe attacked the Divine Realm, Yun Tian brought me to the Azure World and told me that it was a place where he would return when everything ended," Xia Nongyue said in a heavy voice.
"At that time, I found nothing special about that world. I left my Moon Garden and some protections behind in case our enemies followed our trail... It turns out he had secretly prepared everything for you."
Yun Lintian recalled the situation back then when he first encountered Xia Nongyue's traces.
It was where he met the Scarlet Soul Emperor, who tried to find the Beyond Heaven King's
legacy. This person must have encountered the trap Xia Nongyue set up.
"I see." Yun Lintian nodded slowly. Another mystery was unraveled, but there were more left.
