Chapter 2563: Overwhelming Light



Yun Lintian stepped out of the spatial rift, his figure descending gracefully onto the battlefield. The air around him crackled with energy, and the Heaven Piercing Sword in his hand glowed with an ethereal light. His presence was like a storm, disrupting the oppressive aura that Xi Baihe had cast over the Eternal Night Palace.

Ye Yingxi, battered and bloodied, looked up in surprise. She didn't recognize Yun Lintian, but the sheer power radiating from him was enough to make her heart skip a beat. Who was this young man, and why did he feel so familiar?

Before she could speak, Qi Zongwe's voice echoed in her mind through a long-range voice transmission.

"Ye Yingxi, this is Yun Lintian. He's here to help. Trust him."

Ye Yingxi's eyes widened in shock. Yun Lintian? The name rang a bell, but she couldn't quite place it. Still, if Qi Zongwen trusted him, then she had no choice but to do the same.

Xi Baihe, on the other hand, tilted her head slightly, her lips curling into a faint smile as she observed Yun Lintian. Her silver hair shimmered under the dim light, and her cold, piercing eyes locked onto him with a mix of curiosity and amusement.

"Well, well," Xi Baihe said, her voice smooth and melodic, yet laced with a hint of mockery. "If it isn't Yun Lintian. It's been a while since you left the Divine Light Kingdom. I must say, you've grown quite a bit since then."

Yun Lintian's expression remained cold and unreadable. He didn't respond to her taunts. Instead, he raised the Heaven Piercing Sword, the blade humming with power as he channeled the chaotic energy of the Great Laws of Life and Death.

Xi Baihe's smile widened. "Did you leave your mouth behind somewhere?"

Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed, and without warning, he lunged forward, his movements swift and precise. The Heaven Piercing Sword blazed with light as he swung it in a wide arc, sending a wave of divine energy toward Xi Baihe.

BOOM!

As the clash of light and darkness continued, Yun Lintian decided to probe further. He channeled more energy into his God Mark of Darkness, pushing back against Xi Baihe's attack. At the same time, he spoke, his voice calm but laced with curiosity.

"Xi Baihe, your light power has grown stronger. Purer. Almost as if it's been... enhanced. What happened to Yao Xi?" Yun Lintian asked coldly.

Xi Baihe's lips curled into a playful smile, her eyes glinting with amusement. She didn't seem surprised by Yun Lintian's question. If anything, she appeared to have been waiting for him to ask.

"Yao Xi?" she repeated, her tone light and teasing. "Oh, Yun Lintian, you're as sharp as ever. But I'm afraid I can't spoil the fun just yet. When you find out the truth, it's going to be... quite entertaining."

Yun Lintian's expression darkened. Her evasive answer only confirmed his suspicions. Something had happened to Yao Xi, and Xi Baihe was clearly involved. But what? And how had it granted her such immense power?

He had repeatedly confirmed that Xi Baihe didn't seem to be the inheritor of the God of Light. Where did Yao Xi go?

With a deep breath, Yun Lintian activated the full power of his God Mark of Darkness. The shadowy energy around him intensified, forming a massive, swirling vortex that rivaled Xi

Baihe's light vortex.

BOOM!!

The two forces collided once more, their power shaking the very fabric of reality. "Hmm? Not bad. But it seems your injury is holding you back," Xi Baihe said, curling her lips.

She raised her hand, and the light vortex abruptly expanded, pushing the darkness back. Yun Lintian frowned deeply, feeling the immense pressure of Xi Baihe's light energy pressing down on him. His injuries from previous battles were indeed holding him back, and he could feel his energy reserves depleting rapidly.

Just as the darkness around him began to falter, a cold, sharp aura erupted from behind him...
