Chapter 2627: Heavenly Court's Turmoil (3)
BOOM!
The entire Heavenly Court shook violently, as if it were about to collapse. The golden barrier rippled and distorted, its light flickering and dimming under the immense pressure.
However, to everyone's surprise, the barrier held. The cracks that had appeared on its surface slowly sealed themselves, and the golden light returned to its former brilliance.
Yun Lintian raised an eyebrow in surprise. He had not expected the Heavenly Court's protective formation to be so resilient. It was indeed worthy of its reputation as one of the strongest barriers in the Primal Chaos.
"Impressive," Yun Lintian muttered, a hint of admiration in his voice. "But not impressive enough."
He raised his sword once more, his eyes gleaming with determination. This time, he would not hold back. He would unleash the full might of his Heaven Piercing Sword, and he would shatter the barrier that stood in his way.
"Rending Heaven." Yun Lintian uttered coldly.
The Heaven Piercing Sword blazed with golden light, its aura reaching a fever pitch. The air crackled with energy, and the very fabric of space seemed to distort under the pressure.
Yun Lintian swung his sword down, and a blinding golden ray erupted from its tip, streaking towards the barrier with the speed of lightning.
Yu Huang's eyes widened in alarm. He had not expected Yun Lintian's attack to be so powerful. He quickly channeled his celestial energy into the formation, reinforcing the barrier with all his might.
BOOOOOM-
The golden ray slammed into the barrier, and a deafening explosion rocked the Heavenly Court. The barrier trembled violently, its light flickering and dimming under the immense pressure. Cracks spread across its surface like a spiderweb, growing larger and more numerous with each passing moment.
However, Yu Huang was not giving up. He continued to pour his divine energy into the formation, desperately trying to hold the barrier together.
Sensing the barrier was about to shatter, Yu Huang suddenly changed his tactics. Instead of trying to maintain the barrier, he channeled the formation's energy into a counterattack.
Buzz-
Golden beams erupted from the barrier, shooting towards Yun Lintian with blinding speed. Each beam carried the destructive power of a celestial weapon, capable of obliterating anything in its path.
Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed as he saw the incoming attack. He did not try to dodge or block the beams. Instead, he simply stood his ground, his body radiating an aura of invincibility.
BOOM!
The golden beams struck Yun Lintian's body, but they were unable to penetrate his defenses. They exploded harmlessly against his skin, their energy dissipating into the air.
Yun Lintian remained unmoved, his expression calm and composed. He had expected Yu Huang to try something like this, and he was prepared.
He raised his hand, and the Heaven Piercing Sword flew into the air, spinning rapidly as it deflected the remaining beams. The deflected beams shot back towards the barrier, striking its surface with explosive force.
Rumble-
The barrier trembled violently, its light flickering and dimming. The cracks on its surface widened and deepened, threatening to shatter the barrier completely.
Yu Huang's face paled as he realized that his counterattack had failed. One had to know that the Heavenly Court's protective barrier could even withstand attacks from the Primordial Gods back in the Primordial War. Otherwise, the Heavenly Court would have ceased to exist a long time ago.
However, Yun Lintian's strength was beyond the Primordial Gods back then... How could it be possible?
"Are there any more tricks?" Yun Lintian asked with a playful smile. "If not, I'm going to continue."
Yun Lintian's words hung in the air, his playful smile contrasting sharply with the tension that gripped the Heavenly Court.
The Heavenly Guards, once confident in their protective formation, now stood frozen, their faces pale with fear. Even Yu Huang seemed to have lost his composure, his hands trembling. Chun Yue, however, remained calm. Her cold, calculating eyes never left Yun Lintian as she stepped forward, her presence commanding the attention of everyone in the hall.
"Yun Lintian," she said, her voice steady but laced with a subtle threat, "you may have grown stronger, but do not think you can act recklessly here. The Heavenly Court is not a place you can simply barge into and destroy as you please."
Yun Lintian's smile faded, his expression turning cold as he met Chun Yue's gaze. "And who are you to stop me? A mere servant of Ren Yuan? Do you truly believe you can stand in my
way?"
Chun Yue's lips curled into a faint, icy smile. "I may be a servant, but I am not powerless. And I do not need to stand against you directly to make you regret your actions."
She raised her hand, and a shimmering image appeared in the air before her. It was a small,
blue planet, its surface covered in vast oceans and lush green continents.
Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed as he recognized it immediately.
"Earth," he whispered coldly.
Chun Yue's smile widened, her tone dripping with malice. "Yes, Earth. The little star you care so much about. Do you think I don't know about your connection to it? Do you think I don't know how much it means to you?"
Yun Lintian stared at Chun Yue coldly. "You can try."
"I won't," Chun Yue responded, her voice calm but filled with menace. "As long as you don't try to break into the Heavenly Court, Earth will remain safe. But if you take one more step, if you try to shatter this barrier, I won't hesitate to destroy it. Do you understand?"
The hall fell silent, the tension so thick it was almost suffocating.
Yun Lintian frowned slightly. Previously, Lin Xinyao and Hongyue told him that Chun Yue had tried to destroy Earth once but failed. Where did she get the confidence from?
Could it be that she had secretly sent her people to Earth?
Yun Lintian stared at Chun Yue coldly and said, "Do it now. I don't think you have the ability
to do so."
"Are you sure?" Chun Yue smiled calmly. "I heard it was your hometown. There are quite a number of orphans you have been raising there."
Yun Lintian furrowed his brow upon hearing this. Chun Yue clearly knew about the situation on Earth. This could mean she had truly visited the place or that there was a mole beside him.
Suddenly, Yun Lintian thought of Si Junyi's strange question previously. Could it be that someone among his people had betrayed him?
