Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2590: The Anchor of The Primal Chaos (7)



BOOM!

The collision created a shockwave that rippled through the abyss, shaking the very

foundations of the World Tree. The ground cracked and splintered, and the air itself seemed to vibrate with the force of the impact.

Ning Yue stood firm, her feet rooted to the ground, her hands raised as she channeled the power of the World Tree. She could feel the strain, the immense effort it took to hold back Yao Huang's attack. But she would not yield. She could not.

Yao Huang, his eyes narrowed, poured more power into the vortex. The darkness intensified, the devouring energy growing stronger, more relentless. He could see the strain on Ning Yue's face, the way her body trembled under the pressure. But he also saw something else- her unwavering determination, her refusal to back down.

"I see," He said with a cold smile. "You are borrowing the World Tree's power. I wonder how long you can last."

Ning Yue didn't respond. She simply focused her will, channeling more of the World Tree's power into the protective sphere. The light grew brighter, pushing back against the darkness, holding it at bay.

But even as she resisted, she knew Yao Huang was right. She couldn't hold out forever. The power of the void was immense, and even with the World Tree's help, she was merely delaying the inevitable.

She needed to do more than just defend. She needed to attack. She needed to take the fight to Yao Huang, to disrupt his concentration, to give herself a chance to turn the tide of the battle. With a sudden, decisive movement, she lowered one hand and pointed it towards the ground. The roots of the World Tree, which had been lying dormant, suddenly surged to life. They shot out from beneath her feet, racing towards Yao Huang with incredible speed.

Yao Huang's eyes narrowed as he saw the roots approach. He quickly raised his hand, and the dark vortex moved to intercept them. But the roots were imbued with the power of the World Tree, and they were not so easily stopped.

They slammed into the vortex, their tips glowing with a sharp, piercing light. The light clashed with the darkness, creating a whirlwind of energy that tore through the air. The vortex trembled, its form flickering under the force of the attack.

"Ugh." Yao Huang grunted, his concentration wavering. He had not expected Ning Yue to be able to counterattack with such force. He poured more power into the vortex, trying to maintain its form, to keep it from dissipating.

Ning Yue did not give him a chance to recover. With her other hand, she summoned a storm of leaves, each one glowing with the ethereal light of the World Tree. The leaves swirled around her, forming a vortex of their own, a storm of light that mirrored Yao Huang's darkness.

"Go," she commanded, her voice echoing with the power of the World Tree.

The storm of leaves shot forward, heading straight for Yao Huang. Each leaf was imbued with the power of the World Tree, carrying a force that could potentially pierce through his defenses.

Yao Huang, his focus split between maintaining the vortex and defending against the incoming storm, found himself on the back foot. He quickly raised his other hand, and a barrier of darkness formed in front of him, blocking the storm of leaves.

BANG!

The leaves struck the barrier, their light clashing with the darkness. The barrier held, but cracks began to appear, spreading across its surface like a spider's web.

Ning Yue pressed her attack, her eyes blazing with determination. She poured more power into the storm of leaves, each one striking the barrier with the force of a meteor. The barrier trembled, the cracks growing larger, threatening to shatter under the relentless assault.

Yao Huang, his expression finally shifting from one of calm confidence to one of concern, realized that he had underestimated Ning Yue - No, he had underestimated the World Tree. He knew he couldn't afford to hold back any longer. He had to end this battle, quickly. He had to destroy the World Tree, and to do that, he had to eliminate Ning Yue.

With a roar, he unleashed all his power. The darkness around him intensified, the void itself seeming to tremble under his might. The vortex grew larger, more powerful, its devouring energy threatening to consume everything in its path.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Come on! Exert more strength. Let me see the true power of the so-called anchor of the Primal Chaos." Yao Huang taunted loudly, his voice echoing through the abyss.

Ning Yue, her body trembling under the strain of maintaining the protective sphere and the storm of leaves, did not respond. She simply focused her will, channeling every ounce of her power, every bit of the World Tree's energy, into her attacks.

Mo Han and Mo Qian, who had been watching the battle from a distance, felt the shift in power. They knew they had to act fast. Their mission was to destroy the World Tree, and if Yao Huang failed, they would have to finish the job themselves.

With a shared look of determination, they charged forward, their dark energy flaring. They moved with incredible speed, their forms a blur against the backdrop of the chaotic battle between Ning Yue and Yao Huang.

Long Er and Long San, sensing their approach, tried to intercept them. But they were too weak, too injured, their movements sluggish. Mo Han and Mo Qian easily evaded them, their sights set on the World Tree.

Ning Yue, her focus split between maintaining the barrier and attacking Yao Huang, could only watch in horror as the two Devil God Ancestors approached the World Tree. She knew she had to stop them, but she couldn't afford to divert her attention from Yao Huang, not even for a moment.

"No!" she cried out, her voice filled with desperation.

But it was too late. Mo Han and Mo Qian reached the World Tree, their hands glowing with dark energy. They struck the tree's massive trunk, their attacks imbued with the power to corrupt, to destroy.

The World Tree shuddered, its light flickering under the assault. The barrier around it trembled, threatening to collapse under the combined onslaught of Yao Huang and the two Devil God Ancestors.

Ning Yue's heart pounded in her chest as she felt the World Tree's pain, its struggle. She had to do something, anything, to save it. But what could she do? She was already stretched to her limit, her power pushed to its breaking point.

"Hmph!"

Suddenly, a cold snort echoed throughout the space, followed by a curtain of bright

moonlight...
