Myth Beyond Heaven-Chapter 2750: Sun, Star, Darkness (2)

Yun Lintian exhaled, and the golden light solidified into intricate patterns across his skin—like living constellations. When he opened his eyes, they burned with twin suns.

"Now," he said, cracking his neck, "let's play."

Clink.

He snapped his fingers—

And the broken chessboard reassembled itself mid-air, its pieces realigning into a new formation.

Yang Chen and Xing Wu suddenly found themselves standing on opposite sides of the floating board, their movements restricted as if bound by invisible chains.

Ping Heng's breath caught. "He's... he's using the realm itself as a chessboard."

Hei Xuan grinned wildly. "That's my damn son-in-law!"

Yun Lintian raised one hand toward Yang Chen. "Sun God." Then the other toward Xing Wu. "Star God." His smile turned razor-sharp. "Checkmate in three moves."

The game had changed.

And for the first time in eternity—

Two Primordial Gods looked upon a mortal...

And felt fear.

"Die!" Yang Chen roared, shaking off the unease gripping his heart. His golden spear blazed with solar fury as he thrust it forward—a beam of pure annihilation shooting toward Yun Lintian's chest.

BOOM!

The attack never landed.

Yun Lintian didn't even move. He simply twisted the realm's balance with a thought, and the solar beam curved unnaturally, redirecting into empty space. The floating islands it grazed didn't burn—they inverted, their shadows becoming substance and their substance becoming shadow.

Ping Heng was surprised to see this. "He's manipulating Balance like it's second nature..."

Hei Xuan's grin widened. "Hah! And you old farts said he wasn't worthy!"

Yang Chen's eyes burned with fury. "Lucky trick!" He raised both hands, summoning seven miniature suns that orbited him like vengeful stars. "Let's see you redirect this!"

The suns shot forward—

Yun Lintian exhaled.

Clink. Clink. Clink.

Each miniature sun froze mid-air, then shattered like glass, their fragments rearranging into perfect golden chess pieces that hovered around him.

"One move," Yun Lintian said calmly.

Xing Wu's violet eyes flashed. He rotated the Sundial of Eternity violently—

CRACK!

The realm trembled as cracks spiderwebbed through reality itself. The floating islands began dissolving into chaotic mist, their balanced forms unraveling.

Yun Lintian simply raised a finger.

Clink.

New islands conceptualized from nothingness, their forms even more perfectly balanced than before. Where Xing Wu's artifact created chaos, Yun Lintian redefined balance on the spot.

Xing Wu's composure cracked. "Impossible! This artifact unraveled the Creator's designs! You can't just—"

"Two moves," Yun Lintian interrupted. His golden eyes locked onto the Star God. "You rely too much on toys."

"Arrogant!" Yang Chen bellowed in rage, his body erupting into a humanoid supernova. He became pure, unstoppable solar wrath—the incarnation of a star's dying fury—as he lunged.

Yun Lintian suddenly dropped the power of Balance.

Golden light vanished from his body—only to be replaced by an eruption of solar fury. His skin cracked open with molten veins as the Sun God's power merged with his Golden Crow bloodline. The White Dragon Spear materialized in his grip, its blade now wreathed in black-and-gold flames.

Yang Chen's eyes widened mid-charge. "That's—!"

BOOM!

Yun Lintian met the supernova head-on.

Spear clashed against solar spear in a cataclysmic explosion that vaporized half the floating islands. The shockwave sent Yang Chen hurtling backward, his golden armor cracking.

Ping Heng's teacup slipped from his fingers for the third time. "He has the Sun God's power too?!"

Hei Xuan smacked his forehead. "Ah, right! He has this power."

Xing Wu's calculating gaze darted between Yun Lintian and the still-tumbling Yang Chen. His fingers twitched toward another spatial rift—

Clink.

The sound of a chess piece landing echoed through the realm.

Xing Wu froze. The space around him had solidified into golden chains—the Balance's restraint.

Yun Lintian rose into the air, his voice calm but carrying the weight of judgment:

"Checkmate."

Then—

Darkness.

Not just any darkness.

Apocalyptic darkness.

The remaining floating islands crumbled into ash as Hei Xuan's divine power merged with Yun Lintian's. The golden Balance energy twisted, becoming something new—something never before seen in creation.

A domain of scorching black suns.

Thousands of them.

Each one a swirling vortex of darkness wreathed in solar fire, hovering like damned stars across the void.

Yang Chen barely stabilized himself when the first black sun descended.

"Xing Wu!" he roared, summoning a solar shield.

The Star God was already moving, his hands weaving constellations into a defensive array. "This isn't ordinary darkness! It's—"

BOOM!

The first black sun detonated.

Yang Chen's shield held—but cracks spiderwebbed across its surface instantly. His golden blood dripped from his nose. "Impossible! My solar essence should negate any—"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A cascade of black suns rained down.

Xing Wu's starry defenses shattered like glass. His pristine silver robes burned away at the edges as he desperately reforged his barriers. "Yang Chen! Combine forces!"

The Sun God roared, unleashing his full divinity. A miniature sun formed between his hands—his core essence—and shot toward Xing Wu.

The Star God caught it, weaving the solar power into his starry patterns.

"Celestial Annihilation Array!"

A galaxy's worth of destructive force shot toward Yun Lintian—

Who simply raised his spear.

The White Dragon Spear drank the attack like water, its blade glowing hotter and hotter until—

CRACK!

Space itself fractured as Yun Lintian countered.

A single thrust.

A beam of black solar fire lanced forward, piercing through both gods' defenses like paper.

"ARGH!" Yang Chen screamed as the beam vaporized his left arm. Xing Wu barely twisted aside, but the attack still sheared off his right leg at the thigh.

Yun Lintian hovered above them, his voice calm:

"Yield."

Xing Wu's remaining leg trembled. Blood—shimmering with starlight—dripped from his wound. His violet eyes met Yun Lintian's.

"...Nian Shi was right about you," he whispered. "You're the breaker."

His remaining hand clenched.

CRACK!

The Sundial of Eternity—still lying forgotten on the ground—shattered.

The realm screamed.

Ping Heng's eyes widened. "He's collapsing the timeline!"

Reality itself began peeling away like burning parchment. The black suns winked out one by one as the fundamental laws of existence unraveled.

Hei Xuan grabbed Mu Ren. "Get ready to—"

Yun Lintian moved first.

"No."

The White Dragon Spear plunged downward—

Not at Xing Wu.

At the ground.

BOOOOOOM!

A shockwave of perfect Balance erupted, freezing the collapsing timeline in place. The peeling reality stitched itself back together, the Sundial's fragments dissolving into nothingness.

Xing Wu's face paled. "You... you repaired..."

Yun Lintian yanked his spear free.

"Cheating won't save you."

The final black suns descended.

"HOW DARE YOU!?" Yang Chen roared, gathering his remaining power—

BOOM!
