Chapter 2122 Nightmare (3)

The chaotic tendrils writhed in defiance, twisting and coiling around the beam of light like serpents threatened by a divine spear.

Wheeezzzz—

A deafening battle cry, a cacophony of screeches and growls, resonated from the rift, a testament to the entity's fury at being denied its prey.

The cavern rumbled, the remaining portions of the ceiling threatening to collapse. Dust swirled, momentarily obscuring the scene as the woman pushed her power to its limit, channeling every ounce of her being into the purifying light.

"Argh!!"

With a final, agonizing scream, the rift tore open wider, tendrils of emerald green, obsidian black, and other sickly hues reaching out with desperate hunger. But the woman's resolve was absolute.

"He is not a pawn," she whispered, her voice resonating with a power that defied the limitations of words.

The white light intensified, burning with an otherworldly brilliance. It engulfed the chaotic tendrils, searing them with an intensity that forced a primal shriek from the entity within.

CRACKLE—

The battle raged for what seemed like an eternity, time itself warping under the strain of such immense power. Then, with a final, earth-shattering crack, the rift imploded.

The chaotic energy that had been straining to break free was pushed back, violently compressed by the woman's unwavering light.ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

BOOOOOM!!

An ear-splitting boom resonated through the collapsing cavern, momentarily silencing the groaning rock and debris. The force of the implosion sent shockwaves rippling outwards, pulverizing the remaining rubble into dust.

The white light slowly receded, revealing the woman standing triumphantly amidst the devastation. The purified Heaven Piercing Sword, its white glow fading, lay forgotten at her feet.

Besides, Yun Lintian's injury couldn't threaten his life. Without his help, Yun Lintian would eventually recover on his own.

"Hmph! How fortunate you are," With a snort of derision, Dian Lei rose to his unsteady feet. Looking around the collapsed cavern, he knew escape was his only option.

This place was a ticking time bomb, ready to completely cave in at any moment. Ignoring the injured Yun Lintian, he limped towards a barely visible crack in the cavern wall – the only path out he could see.

Rumble—

Suddenly, the groaning rock and debris, defying gravity, started to rise and swirl around the central point of light. The process resembled a celestial dance, a ballet of destruction and reconstruction. Slowly, the chaotic jumble of rock and rubble began to reshape itself, transforming into a new structure.

As for Yun Lintian, he remained oblivious to the world around him. Trapped in the depths of his own mind, he battled a terrifying nightmare.

He found himself standing in a familiar clearing, the Land of Beyond Heaven. But now, the clearing was devoid of its usual vibrancy. The laughter of his friends, the serene hum of nature – all were replaced by a deafening silence.

An oppressive darkness descended, shrouding the clearing in an unnatural gloom. Tendrils of emerald green and obsidian black, colors reminiscent of his desperate gamble, writhed in the air, pulsating with malevolent energy.

Suddenly, figures started to materialize from the darkness. Yun Qianxue and the others. Their faces were etched with terror as they stared at an unseen entity shrouded in the darkness.

"Run, Lintian!" Yun Qianxue's voice boomed, laced with urgency. "Save yourself!"

"Arghhh!!"

"NO!!"

Yun Lintian stood there motionless. Fear and despair clawed at him as the figures he loved were consumed one by one by the tendrils of darkness. Their screams, their pleas for help, echoed in the silent clearing.

Finally, only Yun Qianxue remained. She stood defiantly against the encroaching darkness, her body radiating an ethereal white light. Yet, even her power seemed to dwindle under the onslaught of the unseen entity.

"You cannot stop me," a voice boomed from the darkness, a voice devoid of any human emotion. "This world will become mine!"
