Myth Beyond Heaven

2482  Trap

Yun Lintian's heart sank. He had to stop the purification process, but he couldn't leave Qi Gang trapped within the corrupted core. He was caught in a terrible dilemma, a race against time to find a solution.

"The God of Time?" he muttered, certain that the trigger inside the Abyssal God Beast's Divine Core belonged to the power of time. There was only one person who could produce such a powerful Great Law of Time.

"What's wrong?" Lan Hanyu came over and asked worriedly.

"There's a trap inside. The chaotic energy is not only corrupting Senior Qi's essence and soul, but it's also fueling his existence. Once I completely remove the chaotic energy from his Divine Core, this trap will be triggered and erase his divine soul," Yun Lintian explained. He looked deeply at Lan Hanyu and said, "Whoever made this is forcing us to choose."

Lan Hanyu was shocked and furious. She looked at the struggling Abyssal God Beast with heartache.

"Can you do it?" she asked softly.

"I can try, but we only have one chance. If it goes wrong, there's no turning back," Yun Lintian said solemnly.

Lan Hanyu stared at the Abyssal God Beast for a long time and said resolutely, "Do it. I believe Brother Qi would rather die than remain like this."

"Are you sure?" Yun Lintian hesitated. Although he had comprehended the Great Law of Time, his proficiency was far inferior to someone like the God of Time. It would be extremely difficult for him to crack the trap.

"Yes," Lan Hanyu said solemnly. "Do it."

Yun Lintian stared into her eyes for a while and said, "All right."

He took a deep breath, his gaze hardening with determination. He closed his eyes, focusing his mind, delving into the depths of his understanding of the Great Law of Time. He visualized the intricate patterns of time, the endless flow of moments, the delicate balance between past, present, and future.

He reached out with his divine sense, carefully probing the Abyssal God Beast's Divine Core, his perception navigating the chaotic energy, seeking out the hidden trigger, the insidious trap laid by the God of Time.

Soon, he found it, a tiny spark of temporal energy, intricately woven into the fabric of the Divine Core, a ticking time bomb waiting to detonate. Yun Lintian's brow furrowed in concentration as he analyzed the trap, its complexity surpassing anything he had ever encountered.

It was a masterpiece of temporal manipulation, a testament to the God of Time's mastery over the Great Law. But Yun Lintian was not deterred. He had faced countless challenges, overcome impossible odds, and he would not falter now.

He channeled his divine energy, the power of the Primordial Sun God surging through his veins, his God Marks of Life and Death pulsating with a vibrant light. He began to carefully unravel the trap, his understanding of the Great Law of Time guiding his every move, his divine energy gently nudging the temporal threads, seeking to disarm the trigger without disrupting the delicate balance of the Divine Core.

The process was arduous, a delicate dance between creation and destruction, a battle against the very fabric of time. Yun Lintian's mind raced, his senses heightened, his focus unwavering.

He worked tirelessly, his divine energy flowing like a gentle stream, carefully navigating the intricate pathways of the temporal trap, disarming its intricate mechanisms, neutralizing its destructive potential.

Sweat beaded on his forehead, his body trembled with exertion, his consciousness stretched to its limits.

At this moment, Gui Xiao walked over and reached out his little hand to touch the Abyssal God Beast's head. The Abyssal God Beast instantly stopped struggling and stared blankly at Gui Xiao.

Yun Lintian immediately noticed that the resistant force within the Abyssal God Beast had disappeared, allowing him to focus solely on the trap within the Divine Core.

As he delved deeper into the trap, he encountered layers of complexity, each a testament to the God of Time's mastery, each a challenge to Yun Lintian's understanding of the Temporal Law.

But with every obstacle he overcame, with every layer he unraveled, Yun Lintian's comprehension of the Great Law of Time deepened, his control over its power grew more refined. He was not merely disarming a trap; he was learning, growing, evolving as a cultivator, a master of the universe's forces.

Finally, he reached the core of the trap, the trigger that held Qi Gang's fate in its grasp. It pulsed with a dark, ominous light, its temporal energy swirling like a vortex of destruction.

"Got it."

Yun Lintian focused his mind, channeling his understanding of the Great Law of Time, his divine energy flowing into the trigger, gently manipulating its delicate mechanisms, carefully neutralizing its destructive potential. He could feel the resistance, the trap's desperate attempt to maintain its hold, to fulfill its destructive purpose.

Just as he was about to completely remove the trap, it suddenly vibrated and began to activate.

Buzz—

A terrifying force erupted within the Abyssal God Beast's Divine Core and quickly spread, enveloping the entire space. Yun Lintian's expression changed drastically as he saw everything around him rapidly changing like a fast-forwarding video.

Without hesitation, the Beyond Heaven King's Crown appeared on his head, and his aura surged. He poured everything he had into containing the power of time that erupted like a volcano.

"Roar!" The Abyssal God Beast jolted awake from its stupor and struggled violently. It seemed to sense that its existence was about to be erased. Gui Xiao and Lan Hanyu were sent flying by the explosive aura.

"Ugh.." Yun Lintian had no time to care about them. He concentrated on the trap within the Divine Core, but he could barely suppress it. Even with everything he had, it was impossible to subdue it. The only thing he could do was to limit the damage.

"Your comprehension of the Great Laws surprises me. It seems her plan is much better than I thought… Unfortunately for you, it's not enough. You are destined to be another stepping stone for me." An ancient male voice suddenly echoed in Yun Lintian's mind. It seemed to come from a different time and space.

Yun Lintian's mind trembled. He had no idea who this person was. The sudden echo made him lose focus for a moment and allowed the trap to fully exert its strength.

"No!" Just as Yun Lintian was filled with despair, Hei Shou suddenly appeared beside him and pressed his palm onto the Abyssal God Beast's Divine Core.
