Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2559: Corrupted Soul



Yun Lintian's instincts screamed at him. He twisted his body, narrowly avoiding the golden streak of light that tore through the air where he had just stood.

The attack was swift, precise, and carried an overwhelming power that sent shivers down his spine. He turned his gaze toward the source of the attack, his eyes narrowing as a figure emerged from the spatial rift.

The man was tall, his figure cloaked in a dark robe that seemed to absorb the light around him. His face was obscured by a wide-brimmed hat, but the aura he exuded was unmistakable - a cold, oppressive energy that radiated danger.

In his hand, he held a sword, its blade glowing with a golden light that seemed to hum with power.

Yun Lintian's heart skipped a beat as he recognized the sword art. It was the same as his own -the Heaven Piercing Sword Art. His mind raced, and then it hit him.

This man was Jian Yun. But something was different. Jian Yun's aura was tainted, corrupted by a dark energy that Yun Lintian had never sensed before.

"Senior Jian?" Yun Lintian said, his voice filled with disbelief. "What happened to you?"

Jian Yun didn't respond. His movements were swift and precise as he raised his sword, unleashing another golden streak of light toward Yun Lintian. The attack was faster this time, and Yun Lintian barely managed to deflect it with his Heaven Piercing Sword.

BOOM!

The impact sent shockwaves rippling through the air, and Yun Lintian was forced to retreat several steps. He could feel the immense power behind Jian Yun's attack, a power that rivaled his own.

"Senior, I know your soul is still inside." Yun Lintian shouted.

Jian Yun's response was another attack. He swung his sword in a wide arc, sending a wave of golden energy toward Yun Lintian. The energy was imbued with his sword intent, and it tore through the air with devastating force.

Yun Lintian turned solemn. He knew he couldn't hold back any longer. With a swift motion, he channeled the full power of the Heaven Piercing Sword Art, countering Jian Yun's attack with a wave of divine energy.

BOOM!

The two forces collided, creating a massive explosion that shook the battlefield. The ground beneath them cracked and split, and the sky above darkened as the heavens themselves seemed to tremble under the force of their confrontation.

Yun Lintian's mind raced as he tried to make sense of the situation.

"He's been corrupted," Tantai Xue's voice echoed from within the Heavenhold Formation. Her tone was filled with mockery, as if she was enjoying the situation. "The Lord of Chaos has claimed him. There's no saving him now."

Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed. He refused to believe that. Jian Yun was strong, stronger than anyone he had ever known. If anyone could resist the corruption of the Lord of Chaos, it was him.

"Senior! I know you can hear me! As long as you struggle a little, I have a way to rescue you!" Yun Lintian shouted.

Jian Yun's movements faltered for a moment, as if Yun Lintian's words had struck a chord. But then, his eyes glowed with a dark light, and he raised his sword once more.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"It's no use," Tantai Xue said, her voice cold and measured. "Once the Lord of Chaos claims someone, there's no turning back. He's lost to you."

Yun Lintian ignored her. He focused all his energy on Jian Yun, channeling the full power of the Heaven Piercing Sword Art. The blade in his hand blazed with light, and he swung it in a wide arc, sending a wave of divine energy toward Jian Yun.

BOOM!

The energy struck Jian Yun, forcing him to retreat. But he quickly regained his footing, his sword glowing with a golden light as he prepared to counterattack.

Yun Lintian furrowed his brow when he saw this scene. It was more difficult that he thought. It seemed he had to subdue Jian Yun first before cleansing his soul.

Yun Lintian's grip tightened on the Heaven Piercing Sword as he faced Jian Yun. The Sword God's aura was overwhelming, even in his corrupted state. Jian Yun's eyes glowed with a dark light, his movements swift and precise as he unleashed another wave of golden energy toward Yun Lintian.

BOOM!

Yun Lintian deflected the attack, but the force of it sent him skidding backward. He could feel the immense power behind Jian Yun's strikes, a power that was amplified by his mastery of the sword and the corruption of the Lord of Chaos.

"Senior Jian, I know you're still in there!" Yun Lintian shouted, his voice filled with urgency. "Fight it! Don't let him control you!"

Jian Yun's movements faltered for a moment, his sword trembling in his hand. It was as if a part of him was struggling against the corruption, but the dark energy quickly reasserted its control. Jian Yun's eyes glowed brighter, and he raised his sword once more.

Yun Lintian knew he couldn't hold back any longer. With a deep breath, he focused his energy, channeling the full power of the Heaven Piercing Sword Art. The blade in his hand blazed with light, and he swung it in a wide arc, sending a wave of divine energy toward Jian Yun.

BOOM!

The energy struck Jian Yun, forcing him to retreat. But Yun Lintian knew that wasn't enough.

As Yun Lintian prepared for his next move, he suddenly felt a strange pull on his sword. His eyes widened as he realized what was happening-Jian Yun was using his divine sense to try and pull the Heaven Piercing Sword away from him.

Yun Lintian's heart raced. Jian Yun was the Sword God, a master of the sword whose sword intent was unparalleled. If he succeeded in taking the Heaven Piercing Sword, Yun Lintian would be left defenseless.

"Not so fast," Yun Lintian muttered under his breath. He concentrated his mind, focusing all his energy on holding onto the sword. The Heaven Piercing Sword trembled in his hand, but Yun Lintian refused to let go.

Jian Yun's eyes narrowed, a flicker of surprise crossing his face. He hadn't expected Yun Lintian to be able to resist it. But the surprise was short-lived. Jian Yun's expression hardened, and he increased the intensity of his divine sense, the pull on the sword growing

stronger.

Yun Lintian gritted his teeth, his mind straining under the pressure. He could feel the sword slipping from his grasp, but he refused to give up.

"It seems I have no choice," Yun Lintian muttered.

All of a sudden, his eyes lit up with an azure light.

ROAR-
