Chapter 2504: Unique
Chapter 2504: Unique
Yun Lintian went silent for a moment, various possibilities appearing in his mind. He couldn't fathom how the Lord of Chaos knew his position. Moreover, it was as if he knew him very well.
He looked at Dian Lun and asked, "What's the Gate of Abyss?"
"It's the place where the Chasm of Uncreation is sealed," Dian Lun replied. "I've learned of your conversation with the World Eater."
Yun Lintian's eyes flickered with surprise. What kind of magic was this? How could he know about it?
"Don't get me wrong," Dian Lun said gently. "My power is a bit unique. I can learn things from the environment."
Yun Lintian had never seen such a technique before. It was indeed unique.
He thought for a moment and said, "Lead the way."
His answer surprised everyone present, especially Ye Hua.
Xia Nongyue looked at him questioningly.
Yun Lintian turned to her and asked, "Do you want to come with me?"
Xia Nongyue frowned slightly and replied, "Sure."
Yun Lintian smiled and said, "Don't worry. It will be safe."
"I have to admire your courage, Brother Yun," Dian Lun said, giving him a thumbs-up.
He glanced at Ye Hua and said, "You should go back to your post."
Ye Hua stared at Yun Lintian coldly for a while before turning around and leaving, disappearing into the darkness.
"Don't mind him," Dian Lun said. "He's addicted to being cold."
He waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
Yun Lintian didn't say anything further and followed behind Dian Lun with Xia Nongyue.
As they ventured deeper into the labyrinthine depths of the Abyssal Rift, the chaotic energies swirled and churned with increasing intensity. The very fabric of reality seemed to warp and distort, creating a disorienting landscape where the familiar laws of space and time held little sway.
Yun Lintian noticed that Dian Lun moved with uncanny grace, his path perfectly aligned with the chaotic currents. It was as if he could see the invisible pathways through the turbulent energies, effortlessly avoiding the spatial distortions and whirlpools that threatened to tear them apart.
Yun Lintian's curiosity piqued, he turned to Dian Lun, his eyes filled with inquiry. "You seem to have an intimate understanding of this realm," he remarked, his voice carrying through the chaotic winds. "How do you navigate these treacherous paths with such ease?"
Dian Lun, his lips curving into a subtle smile, glanced at Yun Lintian, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "It is a gift," he replied enigmatically, his voice laced with a hint of mystery. "A gift that allows me to perceive the hidden currents of this chaotic realm."
He paused, his gaze sweeping across the ever-shifting landscape. "The Abyssal Rift is a place of constant change, a realm where the laws of reality are in a perpetual state of flux," he continued, his voice taking on a philosophical tone. "But within this chaos, there is an underlying order, a hidden harmony that guides those who know how to listen."
Yun Lintian nodded slowly, his mind absorbing Dian Lun's words.
"Your mastery of the Law of Space is impressive," Dian Lun remarked, his eyes twinkling with admiration. "I have not encountered anyone who could manipulate spatial energies with such finesse."
His gaze landed on Hei Shou as he continued, "And the way it can manipulate the Abyssal Spirits. I must say, it's nothing short of a miracle."
Yun Lintian offered no comment on this matter.
Dian Lun said further, "I sense a unique power within you. My talent tells me that you are extremely dangerous. If I hadn't appeared, Ye Hua would be gone today."
Yun Lintian smiled and said, "You are dangerous as well."
Dian Lun shook his head. "Compared to the other Chaos Knights, my talent doesn't lie in brute power, but perception. I can reach this ranking because I know how to avoid and engage dangers."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yun Lintian looked at him and asked, "How did you become a Chaos Knight?"
"Well, it's a coincidence," Dian Lun said. His gaze seemed to penetrate into the distant past. "I used to have a loving family. Although my parents weren't strong, they were capable enough to keep me and my younger sister safe."
He let out a long sigh as he continued, "All good things must come to an end, I guess. The peaceful days didn't last long. My parents were robbed and killed. I took my sister to run, but in the end, I was the only one who survived."
Yun Lintian listened to his story in silence. He could see the pain in Dian Lun's voice, even though he hid it well.
Dian Lun smiled and said, "Later, I was picked up by my master and was lucky enough to enter the Haven."
Yun Lintian nodded slightly. "It seems not every Chaos Knight is as bad as the ones I met previously."
"We are humans as well," Dian Lun chuckled. "And I don't dare to claim myself as a good person. I've killed many innocent people under my lord's orders."
Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly as he asked, "Can you tell me about the Lord of Chaos? What kind of person is he?"
"This is against the rules, but there shouldn't be a problem telling you here," Dian Lun said. "My lord is a ruthless person, but also benevolent toward his subjects. Even though he is someone who stands at the pinnacle of the universe, there are many things he cannot control. Some innocent lives were lost, and it was beyond his reach."
He turned to look at Yun Lintian and said, "You should understand this."
Yun Lintian nodded slowly. Indeed, it was impossible to help everyone in the world. He had experienced this many times.
"We are about to enter the deepest region. Follow me closely," Dian Lun suddenly said.
As they ventured deeper into the Abyssal Rift, the chaotic energies intensified, the landscape becoming a swirling maelstrom of distorted space and time.
Amidst this tumultuous chaos, Dian Lun moved with an effortless grace. He led Yun Lintian and Xia Nongyue through the turbulent currents, their path seemingly unaffected by the chaotic energies that surrounded them.
Suddenly, they reached a seemingly impenetrable barrier, a wall of spatial turbulence that stretched as far as the eye could see. It was a formidable obstacle, a barrier that even the most powerful cultivators would struggle to penetrate.
However, Dian Lun approached the barrier with an air of confidence, his expression calm and
serene. With a gentle touch, he extended his hand towards the shimmering wall. A ripple of energy emanated from his fingertips, and the barrier began to distort, a small opening forming in its surface.
"Follow me," Dian Lun said, his voice barely audible over the roaring winds.
