Myth Beyond Heaven

Crackle!

Suddenly, the air around Yun Lintian crackled with electricity. The lightning that had coursed through his body now radiated outward, forming a protective cocoon around him.

BANG!

Dian Lei's spear struck the cocoon, but instead of piercing through, it was deflected, the lightning energy surging back towards him.

"Hmm!?" Dian Lei cried out in surprise as the lightning coursed through his body, his own power turned against him. He stumbled backward, his eyes wide with disbelief as he felt his strength ebbing away.

Yun Lintian, his eyes glowing with a newfound intensity, rose to his feet. "You have underestimatedonce again," he said, his voice calm and steady. "I am not merely a vessel for the Law of Lightning. I am its master."

He raised his Heaven Piercing Sword, its golden light shining brighter than ever before. "Now, witness the true power of lightning."

Zzzzz— BOOOOOM!

With a mighty roar, he unleashed a torrent of lightning bolts, each one more powerful than the last. The bolts struck Dian Lei with relentless fury, their energy overwhelming his defenses.

"Argh!" Dian Lei screamed in agony as his body was consumed by the lightning, his form flickering and fading until he was nothing more than a wisp of smoke.

As the dust settled from the clash between Yun Lintian and Dian Lei, Zhan You's sharp eyes noticed the scene unfolding on the other side of the chamber. He saw Dian Lei, battered and bruised, slowly rising to his feet, a flicker of awe and respect in his gaze towards Yun Lintian.

A cold sneer twisted Zhan You's lips. "So, Dian Lei," he boomed, his voice dripping with disdain, "you have chosen to betray our cause?"

Dian Lei, startled by Zhan You's accusation, turned to face him, his eyes widening in surprise. "Betrayal? What nonsense are you spouting?"

Zhan You scoffed, his gaze unwavering. "Do you think you can foolwith your pathetic charade? I saw how you held back against him. You deliberately lost to him."

"You are mistaken," Dian Lei retorted, his voice laced with anger. "I underestimated his strength, nothing more."

Zhan You's laughter echoed through the chamber, a chilling sound that sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it. "Underestimated him? A True God underestimated a mere mortal? Don't insult my intelligence, Dian Lei."

He raised his crimson sword, its fiery aura intensifying with each passing moment. "You have betrayed the Primordial God Tribe, and for that, you shall pay the ultimate price."

Dian Lei's eyes narrowed dangerously, his grip tightening on his lightning spear. "I have done no such thing," he growled. "I will not stand here and be accused of treason by a fool like you."

A tense silence descended upon the chamber as the two True Gods locked gazes, their auras clashing like opposing storms. The air crackled with tension, the very stones of the chamber seeming to tremble in anticipation of the impending conflict.

Yun Lintian and Yue Yun watched the exchange with growing confusion. They had no idea why Zhan You had suddenly accused Dian Lei of betrayal.

Yun Lintian narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing that Dian Lei had deliberately lowered his defense from tto time, allowing him to strike deep into his body… Why was that?

"You are a disgrace to the Primordial God Tribe," Zhan You snarled, his voice dripping with venom. "You shall die for your treachery."

"Are you crazy, Zhan You!?" Dian Lei, his anger reaching its boiling point, let out a roar of defiance. "Don't put your anger onjust because you can't beat her."

"Court death!" Zhan You uttered coldly. The Law of Fire on his crimson sword intensified.

"Come!" With a mighty swing of his spear, Dian Lei unleashed a torrent of lightning bolts, each one crackling with the power of a thousand thunderstorms.

Zhan You, his sword ablaze with fire, met the attack head-on, the two forces colliding in a blinding explosion of light and sound.

BOOOOOM—

The battle between the two True Gods was a spectacle of raw power and unbridled fury. Lightning bolts clashed with firestorms, their energies intertwining and creating a chaotic maelstrom of destruction.

Yue Yun, seizing the opportunity presented by the escalating conflict between the two True Gods, summoned the remaining lunar energy within her. The moon blade held aloft, pulsed with an ethereal glow that bathed the chamber in a silvery light.

With a swift motion, she launched herself at Zhan You, her lithe form a blur of motion as she closed the distance between them.

Zhan You's expression turned icy. He raised his crimson sword to block Yue Yun's strike. The impact sent shockwaves rippling through the air, the clash of lunar and fire energy creating a dazzling display of light and sound.

"You dare!" Zhan You roared, his fury ignited by Yue Yun's audacity.

He unleashed a torrent of flames from his sword, the heat so intense that it threatened to incinerate everything in its path.

Yue Yun, her moonlit barrier glowed brightly, deftly weaved through the inferno, her movements graceful yet deadly.

The chamber beca chaotic battleground, a symphony of destruction as three True Gods unleashed their full might.

Zhan You, his crimson sword ablaze with the fury of a thousand suns, fought back with equal ferocity. His fiery strikes were like the eruption of a volcano, their heat scorching the air and melting the very stones of the chamber.

"Die!" Dian Lei, taking advantage of the chaos, launched a surprise attack on Zhan You. His lightning spear, crackling with electric energy, struck Zhan You's defenses from behind, momentarily disrupting his concentration.

"Hmph!" Zhan You, caught between two powerful adversaries, snorted coldly. His eyes blazed with a chilling light, his aura intensifying as he unleashed the full extent of his divine power.

"Enough!" he bellowed, his voice echoing through the chamber like a thunderclap.

With a mighty surge of energy, his body expanded, his form morphing into a towering figure wreathed in flames. A magnificent crown sat upon his head, radiating an aura of unparalleled authority.

Zhan You's True God form appeared in front of everyone.

His eyes, once blazing with fury, now glowed with a cold, malevolent light that seemed to pierce through the very souls of those who dared to meet his gaze.

"Your tin the sun has set. Now, you belong to the shadows." He uttered. His voice was incomparably cold, sending a chill running down everyone's spine.
