Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2562: Forcing Into Submit



The Divine Light Empress, Xi Baihe, stood amidst the ruins of the Eternal Night Palace, her figure radiating an ethereal glow. Her long, silver hair flowed like a river of moonlight, and her eyes, cold and piercing, locked onto Ye Yingxi with a faint smile.

"Ye Yingxi," Xi Baihe said, her voice smooth and melodic, yet laced with an undercurrent of mockery. "It seems you're in trouble."

Ye Yingxi's expression hardened as she rose from her throne, her blood-stained robes swaying slightly. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes narrowing as she studied Xi Baihe. The Divine Light Empress's presence here, at this moment, could only mean one thing.

"You've surrendered to the Lord of Chaos," Ye Yingxi said, her voice cold and steady. "Haven't you?"

Xi Baihe's smile widened, her eyes glinting with amusement. "Surrendered? Such a crude word. I prefer to think of it as... aligning myself with the inevitable. The Lord of Chaos's power is beyond anything we've ever known. Resistance is futile."

Ye Yingxi's grip tightened on the hilt of her sword, her knuckles turning white. She could feel the weight of Xi Baihe's aura pressing down on her, but she refused to back down. "You've betrayed us. Betrayed the entire realm."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Xi Baihe chuckled softly, the sound echoing through the ruined palace. "Betrayal implies loyalty. I owe no loyalty to anyone but myself. The Lord of Chaos offers power, true power. Why should I resist?"

Ye Yingxi's eyes blazed with fury. "You've sold your soul to a tyrant. Do you think he'll let you live once he's done using you?"

Xi Baihe's smile didn't falter. "Perhaps. But at least I'll have lived long enough to see the end of this pathetic realm. Unlike you."

Ye Yingxi's heart pounded in her chest, but she forced herself to remain calm. She knew Xi Baihe was trying to provoke her, to break her resolve. She couldn't let that happen.

"You've come here to gloat," Ye Yingxi said, her voice steady. "But you've underestimated me. I won't surrender. Not to you, and not to the Lord of Chaos."

Xi Baihe's smile faded, replaced by a cold, calculating expression. "A pity. I had hoped you would see reason. But if you insist on being stubborn, then so be it."

With a swift motion, Xi Baihe raised her hand, and the air around her crackled with energy. The Divine Light Empress's power surged, and the ground beneath her feet began to fracture. Ye Yingxi's eyes widened as she realized what was about to happen.

"Elders, retreat!" Ye Yingxi shouted, her voice filled with urgency.

But it was too late. Xi Baihe unleashed a wave of divine energy, the force of it tearing through the palace and obliterating everything in its path.

The elders of the Eternal Night Kingdom, who had been standing guard around Ye Yingxi, were caught in the blast. Their bodies disintegrated in an instant, their auras snuffed out like candles in a storm.

Ye Yingxi's heart clenched as she watched her loyal elders fall, their lives extinguished in the blink of an eye. She could feel the weight of their loss pressing down on her, but she refused to let it break her. She had to stay strong.

Xi Baihe lowered her hand, her expression one of mild amusement. "Such a waste. They could have lived, had you chosen to surrender."

Ye Yingxi's eyes burned with defiance. "You'll pay for this," she said, her voice low and filled with venom. "I swear it."

Xi Baihe chuckled softly. "Empty threats. You're no match for me, Ye Yingxi. You never were."

Ye Yingxi's grip tightened on her sword, her mind racing. She knew Xi Baihe was right. The Divine Light Empress was one of the most powerful beings in the realm, and now, with the Lord of Chaos's power behind her, she was even stronger. But Ye Yingxi couldn't give up. She had to fight, no matter the cost.

With a roar, Ye Yingxi charged forward, her sword blazing with divine energy. She swung the blade in a wide arc, sending a wave of energy toward Xi Baihe.

BOOM!

The energy struck Xi Baihe's barrier, the impact sending shockwaves rippling through the air. But the barrier held firm, and Xi Baihe didn't even flinch.

"Is that all you've got?" Xi Baihe taunted, her voice dripping with mockery. "I expected more from the Eternal Night Empress."

Ye Yingxi gritted her teeth, her mind racing. She knew she couldn't defeat Xi Baihe alone. She needed help. But who could stand against the Divine Light Empress now?

On the other side, Qi Zongwen could hear Ye Yingxi's voice when she uttered Xi Baihe's name. He was puzzled at the fact that Xi Baihe could travel to the Eternal Night Kingdom.

"What's wrong?" Yun Lintian asked.

"The Divine Light Empress, Xi Baihe, has appeared in the Eternal Night Kingdom," Qi Zongwen said with a frown. "How did she do it?"

Yun Lintian's eyes flickered with a cold light as he spoke. "Xi Baihe? She has long surrendered to the Lord of Chaos."

"What?" Qi Zongwen was stunned. "How?"

Among the six regents, Xi Baihe was definitely the last person one would expect to surrender

to the enemy. Qi Zongwen couldn't believe that she was the first.

"Do you have a way to go there as fast as possible?" Yun Lintian asked.

Qi Zongwen shook his head. "There's no grand formation between our kingdoms. It would

take a week to go there with the profound ark."

Yun Lintian frowned slightly and said. "Give me the coordinates."

Qi Zongwen was surprised and quickly told Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian took a deep breath and focused on the Spatial Wheel within his body. Although he had never tried this before, he knew it was possible to open a portal to another place in his mind. After all, the Gate of Beyond Heaven possessed such an ability.

Buzz-

The Spatial Wheel symbol on his Divine Core lit up, and Yun Lintian raised the Heaven Piercing Sword slightly before swinging it down at the empty space in front of him.

The space was immediately cut open, revealing a spatial rift.

Qi Zongwen was stunned and quickly recovered. He could feel the aura of the Eternal Night Kingdom from the other side of the rift.

Yun Lintian didn't say anything further and stepped into the rift, vanishing from the place under Qi Zongwen's gaze.

Inside the Eternal Night Palace, Ye Yingxi pushed her bruised body to the limit as she launched a series of attacks on Xi Baihe. However, it was futile.

"Give up," Xi Baihe said calmly.

Rip-

All of a sudden, a spatial rift emerged above the sky, and Yun Lintian slowly walked out...
