Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2547: Dark Curtain (2)



Leng Ziyu's voice echoing across the darkened sky. Her gaze was cold and detached, tainted by the chaotic energy that coursed through her veins.

"Indeed. Your reaction was quite slow," Yun Lintian replied, his voice calm, his demeanor composed, a stark contrast to the chaotic energy that now permeated the realm. "I thought you would have acted sooner."

Leng Ziyu's lips curled into a faint, almost imperceptible smile, a stark contrast to her otherwise cold and detached demeanor. "We had to make sure everything was in place," she replied, her voice devoid of any emotion, a chilling echo in the now darkened sky. "The Ice Phoenix Kingdom has stood for far too long. It's time for a change."

"Change?" Yun Lintian repeated, his voice dripping with icy contempt. "You call this change? Enslaving innocent souls, corrupting the very fabric of existence, plunging the realm into eternal darkness? That's not change. That's destruction."

The other three Chaos Knights, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke, their voices echoing in unison, a chilling chorus of corrupted souls. "Destruction is necessary for creation," they chanted, their words a twisted mantra, a perversion of the natural order. "From the ashes of the old, a new world will rise, a world free from weakness, free from limitations, free from the shackles of the past."

"I don't know what kind of soup your master gave you but I am sure that your goal will never be realized here." Yun Lintian responded calmly.

Leng Ziyu laughed, a cold, chilling sound that seemed to suck the warmth out of the air. "You are but one man," she scoffed. "What can you possibly do against the might of the Lord of Chaos? Against an army of Chaos Knights? Against the inevitable tide of change?"

At this moment, Lan Bingxue appeared beside Yun Lintian, her gaze was incomparably cold. "Ziyu," she called out, her voice trembling not with fear, but with a fury that could freeze the very air around them. "And all of you! Look at yourselves! What have you become?"

"You dare to stand before me, in my own kingdom, and talk of change?" Her voice rose, each word echoing with the power of a raging blizzard. "You, who were once my most trusted disciples, my hope for the future, now stand here as the harbingers of destruction?"

Cracckkkk-

The temperature around them plummeted, the air crackling with frost as her power manifested. The once beautiful palace grounds, now shrouded in the unnatural darkness conjured by the Chaos Knights, began to freeze, ice crystals forming on every surface, a testament to her wrath.

"I took you in," she continued, her voice dripping with icy contempt. "Trained you, nurtured your talents, treated you as my own daughters. And this... this is how you repay me? By becoming the slaves of the Lord of Chaos?"

Each word was a blow, striking at the remnants of their former selves, attempting to break through the corruption that had taken root in their souls.

"This is not just a betrayal of me," she declared, her eyes blazing with a cold fire that could rival the heart of a dying star. "It is a betrayal of everything the Ice Phoenix Kingdom stands for."

Leng Ziyu, despite the palpable power emanating from her former master, met her gaze without flinching. The corruption of the Lord of Chaos had stripped away her fear, her doubt, her humanity, leaving behind only a cold, calculating shell.

"Master," she replied, her voice devoid of any warmth or affection, a chilling echo in the frozen air. "You are blinded by sentimentality, by outdated notions of honor and loyalty. The Lord of Chaos offers us true power, a power beyond your comprehension."

"Power?" Lan Bingxue scoffed, a harsh, grating sound that echoed through the frozen courtyard. "You call this power? This twisted, corrupted imitation of true strength? You are nothing but puppets, dancing to the tune of a madman!"

"Our lord is not a madman," Leng Ziyu retorted, her voice rising slightly, a hint of defiance creeping into her tone. "He is a visionary. He sees the flaws in this world, the weaknesses that plague it. He seeks to create. new order, a better order, where only the strong survive."

"And what of the weak?" Lan Bingxue challenged, her voice dripping with icy scorn. "What of the innocent? What of those who cannot defend themselves? Are they simply to be discarded, like broken toys?"

"They are irrelevant," Leng Ziyu replied coldly. "Sacrifices must be made. The old must make way for the new. It is the natural order of things... Besides, it was as if you cared about them, Master. You have never cared for these mortals here."

"The natural order?" Lan Bingxue's voice was laced with a chilling fury. "You dare to speak to me of the natural order? You, who have defiled the very essence of life itself? You, who have become abominations, mockeries of the noble creatures you once were?"

Her power surged, the temperature around them dropping to unimaginable lows. The very air seemed to freeze, the moisture within it crystallizing into a swirling vortex of ice and snow.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The other three Chaos Knights, despite their corrupted state, instinctively recoiled, feeling the raw, untamed power of the Ice Phoenix Empress.

Leng Ziyu smiled coldly in the face of the overwhelming power. "There's no point in continuing this. Let's let our fists decide it."

Buzz-

As Leng Ziyu's voice fell, several spatial rifts emerged in the dark sky and countless Shadow Demons and Void Creatures appeared. Three General Class Void Creatures could be seen

among them.

One of the General Class Void Creatures swept its gaze over the freezing realm and paused at Leng Ziyu. "Very good. You've successfully removed the protective barrier."

"It is my honor to serve the Lord of Chaos," Leng Ziyu replied, her voice laced with a respect that she had never shown to Lan Bingxue.

The General Class Void Creature nodded, its gaze shifting to Yun Lintian and Lan Bingxue, a predatory glint in its multifaceted eyes. "Leave the rest to us," it rasped, its voice like the grinding of tectonic plates.

Lan Bingxue's eyes narrowed as she surveyed the horde of monstrous creatures that now filled the sky, their grotesque forms casting long, distorted shadows in the unnatural darkness. Her fury, which had been simmering beneath the surface, now erupted, a tempest of ice and rage.

"You dare to bring this filth into my kingdom?" she roared, her voice echoing across the frozen landscape, imbued with the power of the Ice Phoenix.

BOOM!!
