Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2452: Guardian (2)



Yun Lintian's body tensed as he felt a chilling sensation on his back. He twisted his body, narrowly evading the ice sword that pierced the air where he had been a moment before.

Long Bing stood behind him. "Your strength is commendable," she remarked, her voice laced with amusement, "but your speed is lacking."

Yun Lintian narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing that he was outmatched in terms of raw speed. He channeled his divine energy, infusing his body with the power of the White Tiger God bloodline, enhancing his agility and reflexes.

He lunged forward, his movements a blur as he closed the distance between them. His sword flashed, a golden arc aimed at Long Bing's chest.

However, she was ready for him. She parried his attack with effortless ease, her ice sword deflecting his blow with a resounding clang. She countered with a swift thrust, her blade aimed at his throat.

Yun Lintian leaned back, narrowly avoiding the deadly strike. He felt a chill run down his spine as the icy blade grazed his skin, leaving a trail of frost in its wake.

He realized that he was not only outmatched in speed but also in the mastery of their respective laws. Long Bing's control over the Law of Ice was far superior to his comprehension of the Law of Fire.

He needed to change his tactics. He couldn't rely on brute force or speed alone. He had to use his other strengths, his mastery of the other laws, to gain an advantage.

Yun Lintian channeled the Law of Space, his body flickering with spatial distortions. He disappeared from his spot, reappearing behind Long Bing, his sword aimed at her back.

Again, Long Bing was already anticipating his move. She spun around, her ice sword intercepting his attack, the two blades clashing in a shower of sparks.

"You are predictable," Long Bing remarked, her voice laced with a hint of disappointment. "Your spatial manipulation is rudimentary, easily anticipated."

Yun Lintian frowned, his frustration growing. He had tried to use his mastery of the Law of Space to gain an advantage, but Long Bing had seen through his every move.

He decided to try a different approach. He channeled the Law of Order, attempting to restrict Long Bing's movements, to disrupt her flow, to create an opening in her defenses.

But his efforts were futile. Long Bing's power was too overwhelming, her mastery of the Law of Ice too profound. She effortlessly broke free from his restrictions, her movements fluid and unimpeded.

"Your understanding of the Law of Order is superficial," Long Bing observed, her voice laced with a hint of pity. "You are like a child playing with forces beyond your comprehension."

Yun Lintian took a deep breath to calm himself upon hearing her dismissive remarks. He realized that he had no choice but to reveal his trump card, the power he had been holding back, the bloodline he had kept hidden.

He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath, calming his turbulent emotions. He delved into the depths of his sea of consciousness.

Buzz-

A surge of azure light erupted from his body, pushing Long Bing back. His form shimmered, his features becoming more defined, his eyes glowing with draconic intensity.

Long Bing gasped, her eyes widening in surprise. She could sense the ancient power emanating from Yun Lintian, a power that rivaled her own, a power that resonated with the very essence of the Dragon God.

"This power..." she uttered in shock. "The Primordial Azure Dragon God? How could you...?"

Long Bing had never seen anyone who possessed such pure bloodlines of mythical beasts at the same time.

When she saw Yun Lintian reveal his Divine Phoenix bloodline, she could see that it was the purest bloodline, directly inherited from the Divine Phoenix herself. And now this... She didn't know what to say at the moment.

ROAR-

Yun Lintian channeled the Dragon God Soul, his body undergoing a dramatic transformation. Azure scales rippled across his skin, his hair shifting to a deep shade of blue, his eyes becoming reptilian slits, glowing with an otherworldly light. He had unleashed the full might of his bloodline, partially transforming into a majestic dragon.

Behind him, a colossal projection of the Azure Dragon materialized, its scales shimmering like a thousand sapphires, its eyes burning with an ancient azure fire. It roared, its voice shaking the very foundations of the frozen wasteland, a declaration of power that echoed through the ages.

Long Bing stared at him, her eyes wide with a mixture of awe and apprehension. The Dragon God Soul in front of her was the Primordial Azure Dragon God himself.

A Dragon Soul was unique and belonged solely to the person. It was impossible to take away unless the person gave it away. Long Bing found it incredible that the Primordial Azure Dragon God, the master of all dragons, had actually bestowed his soul upon a young human... This was beyond her comprehension.

Yun Lintian, fueled by the Dragon God Soul, felt his power surge. The oppressive cold of the northern region seemed to lessen its grip, his movements becoming fluid and powerful, his senses heightened to an unprecedented level.

He lunged at Long Bing, his speed now surpassing hers, his sword a blur of azure light. Long Bing, caught off guard by his sudden increase in power, barely managed to raise her ice sword in defense.

CLANG!

The clash of their blades reverberated through the frozen wasteland, the force of the impact sending tremors through the ground. Long Bing staggered back, her eyes widening inn/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

surprise.

Yun Lintian pressed his attack, his movements a whirlwind of draconic power. His sword flashed, a series of azure strikes raining down on Long Bing, each blow carrying the weight of a mountain, the sharpness of a thousand claws.

Long Bing, struggling to defend herself, was forced to retreat. Her ice sword, though powerful, could barely deflect the onslaught of Yun Lintian's attacks. The ice around them cracked and shattered, unable to withstand the sheer force of their battle.

ROARRRR-

Yun Lintian, sensing her faltering defense, unleashed a Dragon Roar, a sound that echoed through the frozen wasteland, shaking the very foundations of the northern region.

The roar carried the power of the Azure Dragon, its ancient might reverberating through Long Bing's very soul.

She stumbled back, her ears ringing, her vision blurring. She felt a primal fear grip her heart, a fear she had not experienced in millennia.

This was the power of the Dragon Ancestor, a power that surpassed her own...
