Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2581: Clash of Ancestors (3)



Long Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, but his expression remained calm. He raised his hand, and the Azure Dragon behind him roared, its voice shaking the heavens. Long Yi's fist glowed with a golden light as he sent out a punch to meet Mo Xie's attack. The image of the Azure Dragon surged forward, its power merging with Long Yi's strike.

BOOM!!!

The two punches collided with a deafening explosion, the impact sending shockwaves rippling through the void. The space around them shattered, and the air was filled with the sound of clashing energy.

The Law of Destruction clashed against the brute force of the Azure Dragon, the strongest divine beast in the Primal Chaos, their powers canceling each other out in a blinding flash of light and darkness.

For a moment, it seemed as if the entire universe had come to a standstill. The two forces struggled against each other, neither willing to give an inch. But then, the golden light of the Azure Dragon began to push back against the dark energy of Mo Xie's attack.

"Ugh." Mo Xie groaned as he felt the force of Long Yi's punch overwhelming his own. The dark energy around him began to dissipate, and the vortex of destruction was slowly consumed by the golden light of the Azure Dragon.

"Impossible!" Mo Xie roared, his voice filled with rage and disbelief. "How can you overpower the Law of Destruction?"

Long Yi's voice was calm but filled with authority. "The Law of Destruction is but one aspect of the universe. The Azure Dragon represents the balance of all things-creation, destruction, and everything in between. Your power is formidable, Mo Xie, but it is not absolute."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

With a final surge of power, Long Yi's punch shattered Mo Xie's attack completely. The dark energy dissipated into nothingness, and the space around them stabilized once more.

Mo Xie was thrown back, his body skidding across the void as he struggled to regain his footing.

Long Yi stood tall, his golden aura radiating with an unyielding power. The Azure Dragon behind him roared triumphantly, its voice echoing through the void.

Mo Xie slowly rose to his feet, his expression dark and filled with rage. "You think you've won, Long Yi? This is far from over."

Long Yi's gaze remained steady. "It is over for now, Mo Xie. Leave this place, and do not return. The Azure World is under my protection."

Mo Xie's eyes burned with fury, but beneath the rage, a flicker of calculation gleamed. He had underestimated Long Yi, and now he was paying the price. But Mo Xie was not one to be easily defeated. He had survived countless eons, scheming and adapting, and he was not about to let an old dragon stand in his way.

"You think you've protected the Azure World?" Mo Xie sneered, his voice dripping with venom. "You're nothing but a relic, Long Yi. A fading shadow of what you once were. Do you truly believe you can stop me?"

Long Yi's expression remained calm, but his eyes hardened. "I may be old, Mo Xie, but I am not so weak as to let a devil like you trample over what I hold dear. If you wish to continue this fight, I will not hold back."

Mo Xie's lips curled into a sinister smile. "Oh, I don't plan to continue this fight. Not here, at least. You've proven to be more troublesome than I anticipated. But don't think this is over." With a wave of his hand, Mo Xie's dark energy surged once more, but this time, it did not attack. Instead, it began to swirl around him, forming a dense, impenetrable barrier. Long Yi's eyes narrowed as he sensed the shift in Mo Xie's energy.

"What are you planning?" Long Yi demanded, his voice firm.

Mo Xie chuckled darkly. "You'll see, old dragon. You'll see."

Suddenly, Mo Xie's eyes began to glow with an eerie, otherworldly light. The air around him grew heavy, and the void itself seemed to tremble. Long Yi's instincts screamed at him to act, but before he could, Mo Xie's voice echoed through the void.

"Seal!"

The moment the words left Mo Xie's lips, a massive, grotesque eye emerged from the void above. It was a devil eye, its pupil a swirling vortex of darkness, radiating an overwhelming aura of malevolence. The eye stared down at the Azure World, and with a single, unblinking gaze, it unleashed a wave of dark energy that enveloped the entire realm.

Long Yi's heart sank as he realized what was happening.

"No!" he roared, his voice filled with desperation. He raised his hand, summoning the full power of his Dragon God Soul. The Azure Dragon behind him roared in defiance, its golden light surging forward to counter the dark energy.

But it was too late.

The dark energy from the devil eye was unlike anything Long Yi had ever encountered. It was not just destruction-it was a sealing power, one that seemed to draw its strength from a source far beyond Mo Xie's own abilities. Long Yi's golden light clashed with the dark energy, but it was like trying to hold back the tide with a single hand.

The Azure World began to fade, its presence in the void growing dimmer and dimmer until it was completely hidden from sight. The devil eye's gaze had sealed it away, cutting it off from the rest of the universe.

Long Yi's fists clenched in frustration as he felt the connection to the Azure World vanish. He turned his gaze back to Mo Xie, his eyes blazing with anger. "What have you done?"

Mo Xie smirked, his devilish eyes gleaming with triumph. "I've simply hidden the Azure World from your sight. If Yun Lintian wants it back, he'll have to come and find it himself. But don't worry, old dragon-I'll be waiting for him in the Ancient Devil God Realm."

Long Yi's aura flared, his golden light intensifying as he prepared to strike. But Mo Xie merely laughed, his form beginning to dissolve into dark energy.

"Hahaha! You're too slow, Long Yi," Mo Xie taunted. "You're old, and you can't keep up with my tricks. If you want to protect the Azure World, you'll have to do better than this."

"See you later."

With that, Mo Xie's form vanished completely, leaving Long Yi alone in the void.

The old dragon stood there for a moment, his fists trembling with a mixture of anger and shame. He had failed. He had failed to protect the Azure World, and now it was hidden away, its fate uncertain...
