Myth Beyond Heaven

Yue Yun responded with a gesture of her own. The moon energy that had been swirling around her body solidified into a dozen shimmering blades, each emanating a chilling frost. With a flick of her hand, she sent them flying towards Zhan You.

The blades moved with unnatural speed, leaving trails of icy blue light in their wake.

Zhan You, however, did not even flinch. He raised a hand, forming a fiery vortex in front of him. The blades crashed into the vortex, melting on contact, their icy energy turning to wisps of steam before dissipating entirely.

The battle continued, a dance of fire and ice. Zhan You, fueled by the Law of Fire, unleashed a relentless barrage of flames.

Yue Yun, drawing upon the lunar essence of the city, countered with a chilling defense and swift, ethereal attacks. Neither side gained a clear advantage.

Yun Lintian, a mere bystander in this clash of titans, watched in awe and trepidation.

The raw power they displayed was beyond his comprehension. Each clash of their techniques sent shivers down his spine, threatening to crack the very foundation of the chamber. Yet, both combatants moved with a terrifying grace, their expressions calm and focused, as though engaged in a complex, deadly ballet.

Despite the outward serenity, Yun Lintian could sense the growing tension. Zhan You's frustration was evident in the way his fiery attacks grew increasingly erratic.

Yue Yun, on the other hand, seemed to be drawing power from the battle itself, her movements becoming more fluid and precise with each passing moment.

BOOM!

The chamber trembled under the violence of their clash. Zhan You, a mountain of a man, roared, his crimson beard ablaze as he channeled the Law of Fire.

In his hand, a miniature sun writhed, a condensed inferno threatening to devour everything in its path.

Across from him, Yue Yun stood like a statue carved from moonlight. Her raven hair danced in the ethereal winds that swirled around her, and her eyes shone with an otherworldly luminescence.

The Moon God City itself seemed to hum in resonance, channeling its lunar essence into her form.

With a flick of her wrist, Yue Yun unleashed a volley of moon blades. Each blade, a crescent of pure moonlight, pulsed with a frosty power that could extinguish even the hottest flame.

They screamed through the air, leaving trails of icy blue that etched themselves onto the very walls of the chamber.

Zhan You, however, remained unfazed. He flung his arm forward, and the miniature sun in his hand pulsed in response.

A wave of scorching heat erupted, melting the moon blades on contact. They turned to wisps of steam, their chilling essence swallowed by the inferno.

But for every attack Zhan You unleashed, the Moon God City retaliated. From the intricate carvings on the walls to the luminescent pools scattered throughout the chamber, beams of moonlight converged on Yue Yun.

They coalesced around her, forming a shimmering armor that deflected the oppressive heat radiating from Zhan You.

The battle raged on, a celestial dance of fire and ice. Zhan You, fueled by the boundless power of the sun, bombarded Yue Yun with relentless waves of firestorms. Each blast was a miniature apocalypse, capable of reducing mountains to ash.

Yet, Yue Yun stood firm. The Moon God City, a testament to the ingenuity of the Moon God, acted as her shield and her weapon. The ethereal moonlight, imbued with the city's ancient defensive formations, neutralized the scorching heat, chilling the very air around her.

"Try this!" Zhan You uttered coldly. He unleashed a technique known as 'Sun's Fury,' summoning a rain of fiery meteors that plummeted towards Yue Yun. Each meteor, a blazing ball of condensed solar energy, held the power to obliterate a small city.

Yue Yun responded with a breathtaking display of lunar power. Raising her hand, she drew upon the very essence of the moon, channeling it into a vortex that swirled above her. The vortex, a swirling tempest of moonlight, pulsed with an otherworldly beauty that belied its destructive potential.

Boooom!!

As the fiery meteors entered the vortex, they were met with a chilling counterattack. The moonlight tore into them, extinguishing their flames and turning them into harmless clumps of celestial dust.

The vortex, seemingly insatiable, continued to churn, hungrily devouring Zhan You's attack.

Yun Lintian stared at the battle solemnly. The display of power before him was unlike anything he had ever witnessed. It was a battle between celestial bodies, a clash between gods. He felt insignificant, a mere mortal caught in the crossfire of divine fury.

Zzziiii— BANG!!

Suddenly, a streak of lightning ripped across the sky and struck the moonlit barrier.

Yun Lintian's expression flickered slightly, his gaze shifting towards the entrance.

In that instant, Dian Lei entered the chamber with an aura of crackling lightning surrounding him.

Zhan You frowned slightly. "What are you doing?" he asked.

Dian Lei shrugged. "You can't beat her here," he said coolly.

"It's none of your concern," Zhan You countered coldly.

Dian Lei brushed it off. He turned to Yun Lintian and smiled. "We meet again. Don't worry, I'm not here to fight."

The previous encounter taught Dian Lei to be cautious towards Yun Lintian. He was afraid the mysterious woman would come out again. However, he had no intention of telling Zhan You about her.

Yue Yun glanced at Dian Lei and moved her hand gently. The surrounding moon energy immediately erupted, forming a massive moonlit tide to shoot towards Zhan You and Dian Lei. The force of its impact rippled through the air like a sonic boom.

Zhan You calmly conjured a fiery shield, its crimson glow straining against the overwhelming lunar energy.

Dian Lei, ever vigilant, had already anticipated the attack. With a smile, he raised his hand, summoning a storm of crackling lightning that danced around him like a protective cage.

The moonlit tide surged against the storm, causing it to sputter and hiss but ultimately failing to penetrate its electric embrace.

Zhan You stared at Dian Lei coldly. "You dare interfere?"

Dian Lei responded calmly. "I told you, you can't beat her here," he retorted, his voice crackling with electricity.

Zhan You's eyes narrowed dangerously, his fury threatening to spill over. But he was no fool. The Moon God City, infused with the essence of the Moon God, was a formidable fortress. Taking on Yue Yun within its confines was akin to challenging the Moon God herself.

However, retreating wasn't his style. Zhan You opened his palm and a crimson sword immediately materialized.

"Get out of my way." He uttered coldly.
