Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2644: Battle of Wits (4)



The ice dragon roared, its voice shaking the very foundations of the domain. A wave of absolute zero cold swept outwards, freezing everything in its path.

The chaotic vortex, the swirling energies, even the distorted space itself, began to crystallize, encased in a layer of shimmering ice.

The man's control over the domain, his ability to manipulate time at will, faltered, then ceased entirely. The domain, for all intents and purposes, was frozen solid.

The man was surprised. He stared at the ice spreading across his domain, his most potent weapon, his greatest advantage, now turned against him. He could feel the chill seeping into his bones, his divine energy sluggish, struggling to circulate.

"You could actually..." The man said with a hint of astonishment. He didn't expect to lose in a raw power confrontation despite Yun Lintian was inside his domain.

Yun Lintian stood calmly, the Frostmourne Spear resting lightly on his shoulder. The ice dragon had dissipated, leaving behind a domain encased in a layer of crystalline ice, a testament to his power.

"You rely too much on your tricks," Yun Lintian said, his voice even. "You forget that raw power can overcome any deception."

The man's face turned icy. He knew Yun Lintian was right. He had become complacent, relying on his time manipulation to overcome his opponents. He had neglected the fundamental principles of cultivation, the raw power that lay at the heart of true strength.

"Very well," he said, his voice regaining its cold composure. He sheathed his black sword, the dark energy receding slightly. "Let's compete fairly this time."

He took a stance, his body low, his center of gravity perfectly balanced. The black sword reappeared in his hand, its dark energy now focused, concentrated. He was no longer playing games. He was going to fight seriously.

Swoosh!

His speed increased exponentially. He became a blur, a shadow flitting across the frozen landscape. He was everywhere at once, his black sword slashing and thrusting, each strike aimed with deadly precision. It was as if he had become one with the sword, his movements fluid, seamless, almost preternatural.

Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed. He could barely keep up with the man's speed. The Eyes of Heaven struggled to track his movements, the future becoming a series of fragmented images, too fast to process.

He knew he couldn't go on like this.

Yun Lintian raised the Frostmourne Spear, and a surge of elemental energy erupted from the blade. Five distinct energies, each representing a different element, swirled around the spear, forming a vibrant aura.

He stepped forward, his movements no longer constrained by the need to predict the future. He was going to rely on instinct, on the raw power of the Five Elements Spear Technique.

The man's black sword slashed towards him, a blur of dark energy. Yun Lintian countered, the Frostmourne Spear transforming into a conduit for the five elements.

The tip of the spear glowed with a metallic sheen as he parried the black sword, the clash of metal on metal ringing out through the frozen domain.

The spear then shifted, the icy aura giving way to a surge of wooden energy as he thrust towards the man's side, the force of the strike like a giant tree trunk slamming into its target.

The man barely managed to dodge the attack, his eyes widening in surprise by the sheer force coming from Yun Lintian's attack.

Yun Lintian pressed his advantage, the Frostmourne Spear flowing seamlessly between the five elements. Water energy flowed from the spear as he weaved around the man's attacks, like a river finding its way through obstacles.

Then, the spear blazed with fire energy as he launched a series of rapid strikes, each one burning with intense heat, forcing the man to retreat.

Finally, earth energy pulsed from the spear as he slammed it into the ground, creating a shockwave that sent tremors through the frozen domain, disrupting the man's footing.

The man was forced to adapt, his movements becoming more cautious, his attacks more deliberate.

The battle raged on, the clash of weapons echoing through the frozen domain. Yun Lintian and the man exchanged blows, each strike carrying the weight of their combined power. The man's black sword slashed with dark energy, while Yun Lintian's Frostmourne Spear flowed with the power of the five elements.

The man was beginning to feel the pressure. He was no longer dominating the fight.

The man's eyes gleamed with a dangerous light. He knew he had to end this quickly. He took a deep breath, drawing in the remaining energy within the frozen domain.

The black sword in his hand pulsed with an ominous power, the dark energy swirling around it like a miniature storm.

"Since you are capable enough..." The man muttered. "I will use this move."

He raised the black sword high above his head, the dark energy coalescing into a swirling vortex. The temperature in the already frozen domain dropped even further, the air crackling with an almost palpable tension.

"Die!" he roared, his voice echoing through the frozen silence.

He swung the black sword down, unleashing a devastating attack. A massive crescent-shaped blade of pure dark energy erupted from the sword, slicing through the air with terrifying speed and power. It wasn't just aimed at Yun Lintian; it was aimed at the very fabric of the domain itself.

The dark energy cleaved through the frozen space, leaving a trail of distorted nothingness in its wake. It was as if the very domain was being torn apart, bisected by the sheer force of the attack. Cracks appeared in the ice, spreading outwards from the point of impact.

Yun Lintian's eyes widened. He could feel the immense power of the attack, the sheer destructive force that threatened to shatter the domain entirely. He knew he couldn't dodge it. He had to face it head-on.@@novelbin@@

He channeled all his remaining energy into the Frostmourne Spear, the five elemental energies swirling around it, merging into a single, unified force. The spear glowed with an intense white light, brighter than the frozen landscape around them.

"HAH!" He roared loudly as he thrust the Frostmourne Spear forward, and a colossal dragon, formed from the fusion of the five elements, erupted from the blade.

The divine dragon roared, its voice echoing through the fractured domain. It charged towards the oncoming attack, a collision of immense power.

BOOOM!

The two attacks met with a cataclysmic explosion. The frozen domain shook violently and shattered into pieces.

The force of the impact sent shockwaves rippling outwards, the very air vibrating with raw

power...
