Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2588: The Anchor of The Primal Chaos (5)



BOOM!!!

The impact sent Long Er crashing to the ground, his body scorched and battered. He struggled to rise, his dual-elemental scales flickering weakly.

Mo Qian and Mo Han, seeing their opportunity, moved to attack Long Si and Long Wu.

Mo Qian, with his shadow-like movements, darted towards Long Si, his hand transforming into a blade of darkness.

Long Si met his attack with a wall of ice, but Mo Qian's blade sliced through it as if it were mere air.

Long Si countered with a blast of freezing energy, but Mo Qian evaded it with ease, his movements too swift, too unpredictable. The two clashed in a whirlwind of ice and shadow, their battle a dance of death amidst the chaos.

Long Wu, on the other hand, faced Mo Han's brute strength. Each blow from Mo Han was like a hammer strike, shaking the very ground they stood upon. Long Wu met his attacks with walls of earth, but each impact sent tremors through his body, threatening to shatter his defenses.

Mo Han's shadowy hammer materialized once more, and he swung it towards Long Wu with devastating force. Long Wu raised a massive boulder to block the attack, but the hammer struck true, shattering the boulder and sending Long Wu flying backwards.

Long Wu crashed to the ground, his body battered and bruised. He struggled to rise, his earthen scales cracked and broken.

Yao Huang watched the battles unfold, his expression calm and detached. He had the Dragon Ancestors exactly where he wanted them - divided, weakened, and on the defensive.

Then, his gaze shifted towards the World Tree, and the young woman who sat beneath it, still seemingly oblivious to the chaos around her. A faint smile touched his lips as he began to walk towards her, his steps slow and deliberate.

"Now, it's time to end this," Yao Huang said, his voice echoing through the abyss. "Once I destroy the World Tree, the Primal Chaos will be plunged into eternal darkness. And there's nothing you can do to stop me."

Long Er and Long San, despite their injuries, struggled to rise, their eyes burning with defiance. They knew they couldn't let Yao Huang reach the World Tree. They had to protect it, no matter the cost.

"You... won't... touch... her..." Long Er gasped, his voice hoarse but filled with determination. Long San struggled hard but he couldn't get rid of the force of darkness that pressed on him. Yao Huang merely chuckled, his dark eyes gleaming with amusement. "Brave words, Dragon Ancestors. But ultimately futile. No one can stop me."

He raised his hand, and the darkness around him surged, forming a massive sphere of pure, concentrated dark energy. The sphere pulsed with power, radiating an aura of absolute destruction. It was a power that could obliterate anything in its path, a power that could even destroy the World Tree itself.

"This is the end," Yao Huang said, his voice cold and final.

But just as he was about to unleash his attack, the World Tree rustled. Its branches swayed, and its leaves shimmered, emitting a soft, ethereal light that pushed back against the encroaching darkness.

The light grew brighter, stronger, forming a protective barrier around the tree and the young woman beneath it. Yao Huang's attack struck the barrier, but instead of shattering it, the darkness was absorbed, nullified, as if the light itself was consuming the shadows.

Yao Huang's eyes widened in surprise. He had not expected this. The World Tree, even in its weakened state, was still a force to be reckoned with.

"Heh. Impressive," Yao Huang admitted, his voice laced with grudging respect. "What about this?"

He exerted his power even further, the darkness around him intensifying, the sphere of dark energy growing larger and more potent. The entire space within the abyss was consumed by darkness, the light from the World Tree the only beacon in the encroaching void.

The barrier around the World Tree began to waver, the light flickering under the overwhelming pressure of Yao Huang's attack. Ning Yue beneath the tree remained still, her eyes closed, as if in a deep trance.

Long Er and Long San struggled to their feet, their bodies battered and bruised, their energy depleted. They knew they couldn't let Yao Huang destroy the World Tree. They had to protect it, even if it meant sacrificing themselves.

With a shared look of determination, the two Dragon Ancestors prepared for one final, desperate attack. They knew it was a long shot, that they were likely to fail, but they had to try.

They gathered their remaining power, their auras flaring one last time. Long Er, the Fire and Thunder Dragon, roared, his body erupting in flames and lightning. Long San, the Five Claws Golden Dragon, shone with a brilliant golden light, his five claws extended, ready to strike. Together, they charged towards Yao Huang, their forms a blur of elemental power and divine light. It was a final, desperate gamble, a last stand against the overwhelming darkness.

But Yao Huang merely laughed, his voice echoing through the abyss, filled with confidence and disdain. He raised his hand, the sphere of darkness pulsing with even greater power. "Foolish dragons," he said, his voice cold and filled with absolute certainty.

Long Er and Long San, their bodies radiating with their respective powers, lunged at Yao Huang. Long Er unleashed a torrent of fire and lightning, while Long San struck with his five golden claws, each one carrying the weight of a mountain.

Yao Huang didn't even flinch. He simply extended his hand, and the sphere of darkness shot forward, meeting the Dragon Ancestors' attacks head-on.

BOOM!!!

The collision was cataclysmic. The force of the impact sent shockwaves rippling through the abyss, shaking the very foundations of the World Tree. The light from the tree flickered violently, threatening to be extinguished by the overwhelming darkness.

Long Er and Long San were thrown back, their bodies crashing to the ground with bone- jarring force. Their scales were cracked, their auras were dim, and their breaths came in ragged gasps. They had given it their all, but it hadn't been enough.

Yao Huang stood unscathed, his form shrouded in darkness, his eyes glowing with a cold, triumphant light. He had defeated the Dragon Ancestors, the last line of defense for the World Tree. Now, nothing stood between him and his goal.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Stay there and watch." He uttered coldly.

He raised his hand once more, the sphere of darkness pulsing with even greater power. The barrier around the World Tree flickered desperately, the light dimming under the relentless assault of the darkness.

Long Er and Long San could only watch in horror as Yao Huang prepared to deliver the final

blow...
