Chapter 2530: Formidable
Chapter 2530: Formidable
Chun Yue's response was immediate, her voice calm and steady, betraying no hint of emotion. It was a decision born not of desire or fear, but of cold, calculated logic and a deep-seated sense of duty to her master.
With a subtle flick of her wrist, she summoned forth the power of the Withered Willow God. A verdant energy coalesced in her palm, forming a single, luminous willow leaf. It pulsed with a gentle, green light, radiating an aura of ancient power. This was no ordinary leaf, but a manifestation of a God Mark.
Chun Yue raised her hand, the willow leaf floating above her palm like a miniature, ethereal moon. With a gentle push, as if guiding a falling leaf on a calm breeze, she sent the leaf gliding towards Lin Xinyao.
The leaf moved slowly, gracefully, yet the space around it warped and distorted, a testament to the immense power it contained.
"Withered Willow's Grasp," Chun Yue uttered, her voice soft yet carrying an undeniable weight, like the rustling of leaves in an ancient forest.
The single willow leaf, upon reaching Lin Xinyao, suddenly multiplied, transforming into a multitude of shimmering, green branches. They wrapped around her, binding her limbs, not with brute force, but with an irresistible, ethereal power.
Fang Chen, seeing his chance, roared with savage delight. "Now's your chance, you bitch!"
His divine energy flared, his body radiating a fierce, golden light. His fists, imbued with the power of a True God, became blurs of motion as he unleashed a relentless barrage of blows upon the restrained Lin Xinyao.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
Each punch carried the force of a collapsing star, the impacts echoing through the void like thunderclaps. The space around them shattered and reformed with each blow, the very fabric of reality warping under the strain of his True God power.
Lin Xinyao tried her best to defend herself under the disadvantage condition.
Chun Yue, her expression unwavering, maintained her focus, channeling more of the Withered Willow's power into the ethereal branches. They glowed brighter, their grip tightening, further restricting Lin Xinyao's movements, attempting to quell the lunar energy that surged within her.
"Your struggles are meaningless," Chun Yue stated, her voice calm and steady, like the gentle flow of a river.
At this moment, Lin Xinyao closed her eyes for a fleeting moment, drawing upon the power of the blue moon. Its blue light intensified, bathing the battlefield in an eerie glow. She could feel the moon's energy flowing through her, a cold, serene power that countered the Withered Willow's grasp.
Buzz-
With a sudden surge of strength, she pushed back against the ethereal branches. The air around her began to chill, the temperature plummeting rapidly. The very space around her began to freeze, transforming into a domain of absolute cold, a reflection of the moon's frigid power.
Cracccckkkkk-
The willow branches, despite their divine origin, began to creak and groan under the extreme cold. Their vibrant, green light flickered, their movements becoming sluggish, their grip on Lin Xinyao loosening.
Fang Chen, noticing the change, faltered in his attack. A look of confusion crossed his face as he felt the biting cold seeping into his bones, slowing his movements, suppressing his divine energy.
"What kind of power is this?" He was genuinely shocked by the overwhelming power. It was as if nothing could stop it.
Lin Xinyao opened her eyes, their gaze now radiating a cold, lunar light. The blue moon behind her shone with an almost unbearable intensity, its blue glow turning the surrounding space into a frozen wasteland.
"The Moon God's power?" Chun Yue said in doubt. Although she had never faced the Moon God herself, she couldn't think of any power that could penetrate everything like this aside from the power of the Primordial God.
"What!?" Fang Chen exclaimed in disbelief. "How could it be possible?"
With a powerful surge, Lin Xinyao shattered the remaining willow branches binding her. The ice around her expanded outwards, forming a gigantic wave of frozen energy that surged towards Fang Chen and Chun Yue.
Fang Chen, his movements hampered by the cold, could only watch helplessly as the wave approached. He attempted to muster his divine energy, to erect a barrier, but his power was suppressed, his body sluggish.
The wave of ice crashed over him, engulfing him completely. He let out a strangled cry as his body was encased in a thick layer of frost, his divine energy extinguished by the absolute cold.
Chun Yue, though more prepared than Fang Chen, also found herself overwhelmed by the advancing wave of ice. She channeled the Withered Willow's power, attempting to counter the encroaching cold, but the green energy was quickly overwhelmed. The willow branches she summoned were instantly frozen, their power nullified.
Chun Yue's expression changed slightly. She knew it was time to leave now.
With a swift, precise movement, she brought her hands together, forming a complex hand seal. Her fingers moved with a practiced grace, weaving together a pattern that resonated with a power far greater than her own.
A faint, golden glow began to emanate from her, a power that was distinctly different from the verdant energy of the Withered Willow.
This was the power of Ren Yuan, the God of Heaven, a power that transcended the laws of this realm. It was a power that could defy fate, alter destiny, and even bend the very fabric of space-time. A small portion of this immense power had been bestowed upon Chun Yue, a failsafe for the most dire of circumstances.
As the wave of ice closed in, threatening to engulf her, Chun Yue activated the power. The golden glow around her intensified, forming a protective barrier that pushed back against the encroaching cold.
The ice, despite its absolute nature, could not penetrate the golden barrier. It was as if a small sun had suddenly appeared amidst the frozen wasteland, its light and warmth defying the all-
consuming cold.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Within the golden barrier, Chun Yue's movements were swift and decisive. She raised her right hand, her index finger pointing towards the void. A small, intricate symbol, glowing with the same golden light, appeared at her fingertip. It was a symbol of authority, a key that could unlock the door of space itself.
With a silent command, she pushed the symbol forward. The space before her rippled and distorted, as if a hidden seam in the fabric of reality was being unzipped. A fissure appeared, a crack in the void, glowing with a blinding, golden light.
Without a moment's hesitation, Chun Yue stepped into the fissure, the golden light enveloping her completely. As she disappeared into the void, the fissure sealed itself shut,
leaving no trace of her passage.
The power of the God of Heaven had allowed her to escape, to slip through the cracks of reality, beyond the reach of even Lin Xinyao's formidable power...
