Chapter 2499: True Face (2)
Ju Liang, his eyes narrowed in concentration, channeled his chaotic energy, the space around him distorting and warping as he prepared to unleash his true power. With a guttural incantation, he activated his domain, transforming the surrounding space into his own pocket world.
The chaotic energies surged and swirled, obeying Ju Liang's command, reshaping the landscape into a nightmarish vision. The entire space was completely dark. The light from Yun Lintian's sword was like a tiny candle. The air crackled with an oppressive weight, a suffocating pressure that threatened to crush Yun Lintian's very soul.
Yun Lintian frowned slightly. "It seems my guess is correct. You must have the bloodline of the Shadow Demon and the Void Creature," he said in a deep voice.
From the moment Ju Liang used his power, Yun Lintian had suspected this. Ju Liang's power was similar to the Void Creature's and the Shadow Demon's. And now, his domain had proven it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Welcome to my world," Ju Liang sneered, his voice resonating with an almost godly power. "Here, I am the master of all creation. Your paltry skills are meaningless against my absolute control."
Yun Lintian curled his lips. "An impressive display, I must say. Come. Show me what you've got."
Ju Liang furrowed his brow slightly. He couldn't understand why Yun Lintian was exceptionally calm under such circumstances.
He waved his hand, and countless shadow lances appeared around Yun Lintian before rushing toward him from all directions.
The shadow lances, imbued with the essence of the void, hurtled towards Yun Lintian, their movements erratic and unpredictable, their tips glinting with sinister darkness.
Yun Lintian, however, remained unfazed. He raised the Heaven Piercing Sword, its celestial light shining even brighter in the face of the encroaching darkness.
BOOM!!
With a single, graceful motion, Yun Lintian unleashed a wave of celestial energy, a radiant force that clashed with the shadowy tendrils. The energy rippled outward, shattering the darkness and dispelling the oppressive silence. The shadow lances, their power neutralized, dissipated into nothingness.
Ju Liang's eyes widened in surprise. He had never encountered such a potent force, a light that could dispel the very darkness he had created. He quickly realized that Yun Lintian's mastery of the Law of Light was far beyond his expectations.
The sword, imbued with the combined power of light and space, sliced through the chaotic energy, its blade glowing with otherworldly radiance.
The chaotic energy, unable to withstand the force of the attack, began to dissipate, the swirling maelstrom losing its power. The space, slowly but surely, began to stabilize, the oppressive darkness receding.
Ju Liang watched as his domain, his ultimate weapon, was being dismantled before his very eyes. His expression turned grim. He knew that he had reached his limit, that he could no longer resist Yun Lintian's overwhelming power.
With a final, desperate effort, Ju Liang unleashed a wave of chaotic energy, a last-ditch attempt to overwhelm Yun Lintian. But it was futile. Yun Lintian, with a single movement, deflected the attack, his sword absorbing the chaotic energy and converting it into pure light.
"Die."
Yun Lintian uttered calmly, without any emotion. He raised his sword and swung it down. The blade, glowing with blinding light, descended upon Ju Liang, ending his life with a single,
swift strike.
Puff!!
The chaotic energy dissipated, the pocket dimension collapsing upon itself. The world returned to its original state, the darkness receding, the light returning.
Xia Nongyue looked at the scene in surprise. Yun Lintian had given her another surprise. His power reminded her of someone... someone she missed dearly.
On the side, Liu Feng's eyes filled with despair. He thought Ju Liang could do something, but the reality was different from what he had imagined. Yun Lintian could easily end Ju Liang's life with a few strikes.
Yun Lintian turned toward them and said, "Sorry, I couldn't hold back."
Xia Nongyue nodded. "It's fine."
Yun Lintian shifted his gaze onto Liu Feng and said, "Now, it's your turn."
