Myth Beyond Heaven

Zhan You ignored the explosion and turned to Dian Lei. "Give up. Your struggle is pointless. You cannot win." He taunted, his voice echoing with amusement.

Dian Lei furrowed his brow, realizing he had miscalculated. The woman in white hadn't emerged as he had anticipated.

"Hmm?" His attention was abruptly drawn to something within the raging flames engulfing Yun Lintian.

A shimmering moonlight gradually emerged from the inferno, clearing the surrounding flames. Yun Lintian stood unharmed behind a moonlit barrier.

Zhan You tilted his head, surprised to see Yun Lintian unscathed. He glanced at Yue Yun, but realized she wasn't responsible.

"I know it." Dian Lei said with a grin. "You can't defeat her here."

Zhan You frowned deeply, unable to understand what Dian Lei was trying to convey. In his eyes, Yue Yun was strong, but not strong enough to confront him.

Yun Lintian was puzzled as well. Just as he was about to unleash his power, a moonlit barrier suddenly appeared out of nowhere. More importantly, it was so strong that Zhan You's attack didn't leave a scratch on it.

At this moment, Yue Yun slowly got up from the ground. Her demeanor had completely changed. She looked calm and composed as if nothing could shake her.

She turned to look at Zhan You, her eyes so serene that they made Zhan You, known for his fearlessness, shudder.

Before Zhan You could react, Yue Yun suddenly raised her hands, and the Soul Scepter's fragments within his body immediately flew towards her.

The fragments within Dian Lei and Yun Lintian's bodies were no exception. They all shot out and flew into her hand.

Yue Yun gently held the fragments before crushing them, releasing a blinding burst of moonlight that stunned everyone.

As the moonlight faded, a long scepter materialized in Yue Yun's hand.

"Moon Scepter…" Yun Lintian murmured in a low voice.

The scepter in Yue Yun's hand was without a doubt the legendary Moon Scepter. Bathed in the ethereal glow of moonlight, the scepter was a sight to behold. Its handle, crafted from the purest white jade, was smooth and cool to the touch, like the surface of a moonlit lake.

The handle gracefully curved upwards, leading to the head of the scepter, which resembled a crescent moon in its waxing phase. The crescent was made of shimmering silver, polished to a mirror-like finish that reflected the celestial bodies above.

Intricate engravings adorned the surface of the silver crescent, depicting the phases of the moon in delicate detail. Tiny stars, crafted from glittering diamonds, were scattered amongst the lunar phases, adding to the scepter's celestial allure.

A single, flawless pearl, reminiscent of a full moon, rested at the very tip of the crescent, emitting a soft, radiant glow.

Yue Yun gently traced her finger along the scepter, her expression filled with nostalgia.

The moment she grasped it firmly, the moonlight around her intensified, making her appear like a moon goddess.

She glanced at Zhan You and said. "Kneel."

A wave of frigid silence swept through the chamber, the only sound the crackling of the fading flames.

Zhan You, the mighty War God, found himself momentarily paralyzed, his fiery eyes widening in disbelief as Yue Yun's command echoed in his ears.

A tremor coursed through his imposing form, his fists clenching involuntarily. He, who had never bowed to anyone, was being ordered to kneel. The very thought ignited a fury within him that threatened to consume his reason.

Yet, a strange power held him in place, a power that emanated from the Moon Scepter in Yue Yun's hand. It was a power that resonated with the very essence of his soul, a power that stirred a primal fear within him.

A cold sweat broke out on Zhan You's forehead as he fought against the invisible force that was pulling him to his knees. His muscles strained, his body trembling with the effort of resisting the overwhelming urge to submit.

He gritted his teeth, a guttural growl escaping his throat. "You dare command me?" he spat, his voice laced with venom.

Zhan You unleashed a torrent of flames from his body, the heat so intense that it warped the air around him. The fiery aura surged towards Yue Yun, a wave of destruction aimed at consuming her and the Moon Scepter.

But Yue Yun stood unyielding, her expression serene as the moonlight surrounding her intensified, forming a protective barrier that deflected the flames.

BOOM!!

The two forces clashed, fire and moonlight intermingling in a dazzling display of raw power.

"Hah!" Zhan You roared in frustration, his attacks growing more frenzied as he desperately tried to break free from the Moon Scepter's influence. But the more he struggled, the stronger the pull became, the closer he came to succumbing to the overwhelming urge to kneel.

The chamber trembled as the battle raged, the very stones groaning under the strain of the immense power unleashed by the two combatants. The air crackled with energy, the clash of fire and moonlight creating a symphony of destruction.

Dian Lei and Yun Lintian watched in awe as Yue Yun held her ground against the undefeated War God. They could sense the strain in her aura, the immense effort it took to maintain control over Zhan You. It wasn't something they could resist.

The fact that Zhan You could put up a struggle against it was a testament to his strength.

"Argh!"

Finally, with a deafening roar that shook the entire chamber, Zhan You's resistance crumbled. His knees buckled, his body slowly descending towards the ground.

The proud War God was forced to kneel before his opponent, his face contorted in a mask of rage and humiliation.

There was joy in Yue Yun's expression. She calmly spoke. "Your dignity shall be trampled today. You are no longer an undefeated war god."

Zhan You's body trembled, every muscle straining against the invisible force that held him captive. His eyes, burning with a rage that could melt mountains, were fixed on Yue Yun, the source of his humiliation.

A guttural growl tore from his throat, a sound filled with fury and defiance. "You dare to humiliate me." Zhan You spat, his voice laced with venomous anger.

A surge of energy, darker and more potent than any he had previously unleashed, erupted from Zhan You's body. The flames that wreathed him twisted and contorted, morphing into a writhing vortex of chaotic energy.

The very air in the chamber crackled with an ominous power, the oppressive atmosphere growing heavier with each passing moment.

Dian Lei's expression changed drastically. "Not good! Run!" he shouted anxiously, rushing towards Yun Lintian in a flash.
