Myth Beyond Heaven-Chapter 2666: Bargaining

Yun Lintian didn't expect to encounter so many obstacles here. It was as if the Lord of Chaos could completely calculate his every move.

He glanced around, his golden eyes scanning the distorted space. The formation was subtle, almost imperceptible, but now that he was aware of it, he could sense the intricate patterns of energy woven into the fabric of the Abyssal Rift.

It was a high-level spatial formation, designed to trap anyone who entered it in an endless loop, forcing them to return to their starting point no matter how far they traveled.

The person who could set up such a trap must be someone with a deep understanding of spatial laws, someone powerful enough to manipulate the chaotic energy of the Abyssal Rift. Perhaps it was the Lord of Chaos himself.

Yun Lintian took a deep breath, calming his mind as he focused on the formation. The Elemental Soul amplified his senses, allowing him to perceive the intricate patterns of energy that made up the formation.

He could see the threads of spatial energy woven together, creating a complex web that trapped him in an endless loop.

The formation was powerful, but it wasn't perfect. Every formation had a flaw, a weak point that could be exploited. Yun Lintian just had to find it.

***

While Yun Lintian was trapped inside the formation, Ren Yuan had already peeled off the first four layers of the seal on the Gate of the Abyss.

Ren Yuan stood before the Gate of the Abyss, his figure radiating an aura of immense power. The chaotic energy of the Abyssal Rift swirled around him, but he remained calm, his focus unwavering as he worked to unseal the gate.

The Heavenly Desolate Orb pulsed in his hand, its dark energy surging as it absorbed the chaotic energy of the rift.

The Gate of the Abyss was a massive structure, its surface covered in intricate runes and seals that glowed with a faint, ominous light. Each seal represented a layer of protection, a barrier that prevented the Chasm of Uncreation from being unleashed.

The gate began to tremble under the pressure of the chaotic energy as Ren Yuan peeled off the fourth layer. There were five layers to go.

"Hurry up!" the Chasm of Uncreation's voice boomed, its tone laced with impatience. "The seals are weakening! Unleash me now, and I will reward you with unimaginable power!"

Ren Yuan paused, his hand hovering over the fifth seal. He could feel the immense power of the Chasm of Uncreation surging behind the gate, its chaotic energy threatening to burst forth and consume everything in its path.

But he hesitated.

"I need more," Ren Yuan said, his voice firm. "I need a guarantee. I need to know that I will not be destroyed along with this world."

The Chasm of Uncreation's voice rumbled with annoyance. "You dare to bargain with me, Ren Yuan?" it growled. "I am the Chasm of Uncreation, the embodiment of chaos! You are a mere mortal, a pawn in my game! You should be grateful that I even consider granting you any power!"

Ren Yuan's expression remained unchanged. "Perhaps," he said, his voice calm and steady. "But I am also the one who holds the key to your release. Without me, you will remain trapped behind this gate, your power forever dormant."

He paused for a moment, his eyes gleaming with a cold light.

"So, tell me," he continued, "what guarantee can you offer me? What assurance can you give me that I will not be destroyed when you are unleashed?"

The Chasm of Uncreation's voice was silent for a moment, its energy swirling and churning as it considered Ren Yuan's words. Finally, it spoke, its tone grudging but resigned.

"You are cunning, Ren Yuan. I underestimated you. But do not think that you can manipulate me. I am not so easily controlled."

With that, the Chasm of Uncreation began to channel its power through the Gate of the Abyss, its chaotic energy surging as it flowed into Ren Yuan's body.

The Heavenly Desolate Orb pulsed with a dark light, its energy merging with the chaotic energy of the Chasm of Uncreation.

Ren Yuan's lips curled into a faint smile. "That is all I ask."

Ren Yuan's body trembled as he absorbed the power, his aura intensifying as the chaotic energy surged through him. His eyes glowed with a dark light, and his presence radiated a sense of overwhelming power.

But even as he absorbed the power, Ren Yuan remained calm, his focus unwavering. He knew that the Chasm of Uncreation was a dangerous entity, and that its power could easily consume him if he was not careful.

As the power of the Chasm of Uncreation flowed through him, Ren Yuan's mind raced. He could feel the chaotic energy surging through his veins, its power threatening to overwhelm him.

He steeled himself and focused on absorbing the power.

As Yun Lintian studied the formation, he noticed a subtle fluctuation in the spatial energy. It was a small irregularity, almost imperceptible, but it was there. That was the key.

Yun Lintian's lips curved into a faint smile. "Found you."

With a sudden burst of energy, Yun Lintian thrust the Frostmourne Spear forward, the blade piercing through the spatial energy at the formation's weak point.

BOOM!

The shockwave rippled through the Abyssal Rift, the chaotic energy surging as the spatial loop formation was destroyed. The distorted space around Yun Lintian returned to normal, the endless loop broken.

As the formation shattered, a figure materialized before Yun Lintian, her presence radiating an aura of power and authority.

She was a woman, tall and elegant, with long black hair that flowed down her back like a waterfall of ink. Her eyes were as dark as the Abyssal Rift itself, and her lips were curved into a subtle smile that held a hint of both amusement and challenge.

Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed as he regarded the woman. He could sense her power, the immense chaotic energy that swirled around her, the authority that radiated from her very being. This was no ordinary Chaos Knight.

"You are indeed strong." the woman said, her voice smooth and melodious, yet laced with an undeniable strength.

Yun Lintian stared at her attentively, his grip tightening on the Frostmourne Spear. "And you are?"

The woman's smile widened slightly. "I am Yu Cai, the Second Chaos Knight," she replied, her voice filled with a quiet pride. "And I am the one who set up that little spatial loop formation you just so cleverly dismantled."
