Chapter 2508: Temptation (2)



Yun Lintian's resolve wavered, his mind a battleground of conflicting emotions. The Chasm's words, like a siren's song, lured him closer to the precipice, tempting him to succumb to its promises, to unleash the chaos within.

"You are but a pawn in this game of fate, Yun Lintian," the voice hissed, its tone now laced with cruel mockery. "A puppet dancing to the strings of destiny, a tool to be used and discarded when your purpose is fulfilled."

Yun Lintian's heart shook, his composure faltering. The Chasm's words struck a nerve, echoing his deepest fears—the fear of being a mere plaything in the hands of fate, a disposable instrument in a grand cosmic scheme.

"You will be cast aside like pathetic trash, your sacrifices meaningless, your existence forgotten," the voice continued, its tone dripping with venomous glee. "You are nothing but a fleeting spark in the grand tapestry of the universe, destined to be extinguished, your light swallowed by the eternal darkness."

Yun Lintian's body trembled, his mind reeling from the onslaught of the Chasm's insidious whispers. He felt despair creeping into his heart, a darkness threatening to consume his very being.

Dian Lun, observing Yun Lintian's struggle, felt a pang of concern. He had witnessed countless cultivators succumb to the Chasm of Uncreation's seductive whispers, their minds ensnared by its promises of power and knowledge. He could sense the darkness creeping into Yun Lintian's aura, the wavering of his resolve.

"Brother Yun!" he called out, his voice filled with urgency. "Do not waver! Do not listen to its lies!"

Xia Nongyue, her eyes narrowed in concern, also noticed the subtle shift in Yun Lintian's demeanor. She could sense the internal conflict raging within him, the battle between his unwavering determination and the seductive whispers of the Chasm.

"Yun Lintian," she said, her voice firm and resolute. "Remember your purpose. Remember those who believe in you."

The Chaos Knights, sensing the growing instability of the seal, intensified their efforts, their chants growing louder, their hands glowing with brighter light. The runes and symbols on the gate pulsed with renewed vigor, their power surging to contain the force within.

But Yun Lintian's wavering resolve threatened to undermine their efforts. The Chasm of Uncreation, sensing his vulnerability, pressed its advantage, its voice echoing through his mind, its promises growing more enticing, its threats more menacing.

"I can reveal the truth of your existence, Yun Lintian," the Chasm whispered, its voice a seductive caress. "I can show you the hidden threads of fate that bind you, the puppet masters who orchestrate your every move."

The Chasm of Uncreation, its attempts to sway Yun Lintian thwarted, its power waning under the onslaught of his unwavering will, unleashed a final, desperate curse.

"I will make you regret this when I get out! All of you! I will tear you apart and gnaw on your bones!" it shrieked, its voice filled with venomous hatred.

Yun Lintian's heart sank. He wished to understand the relationship between his mother and the Chasm of Uncreation, but he knew it wasn't the right time.

With a final surge of his divine energy, Yun Lintian completed the reinforcement of the seal, the runes and symbols on the gate glowing with an impenetrable light. The Chasm of Uncreation, its power contained, its influence suppressed, was once again imprisoned within its eternal prison.

"Phew..." He let out a long breath and retracted his hand from the gate.

"Congratulations, Brother Yun." Dian Lun flew over and said with a relieved smile.

Xia Nongyue landed beside Yun Lintian and asked softly, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Yun Lintian responded, though his expression was clearly weary.

Xia Nongyue nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Yun Lintian turned to look at Dian Lun and said, "I hope your master keeps his word."

"Don't worry, Brother Yun. I will send the message now," Dian Lun said firmly and beckoned one of the Chaos Knights to send a message.

He turned back to Yun Lintian and asked, "Where are you going next, Brother Yun?"

Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly, pondering his choices. Should he visit the Haven now?
