Chapter 2840 - 2840: Heavenly Decree (2)
Yue Yun didn’t spare him a glance. She raised a hand, and a surge of emerald energy enveloped Long Wu, mending his broken bones, stabilizing their injuries.
At the same time, the space around Long Si trembled and before Ren Yuan could react, Long Si had already disappeared from his grasp and reappeared beside Yue Yun.
Ren Yuan wasn’t angry at this as he was more surprised about the power Yue Yun had released just now. “The Tree of Life’s power…?… Who are you exactly?”
On the side, Chun Yue quickly made a report. “Her name is Yue Yun. She came out of the God Tomb with Yun Lintian back then. She seemed to possess the power of the Divine Moon Clan.”
Yue Yun ignored Ren Yuan and Chun Yue and turned to Yao Xi. “I know you hate Yun Lintian. But Yun Tian’s death wasn’t his fault.”
Yao Xi’s crystal-clear eyes burned with fury as she glared at Yue Yun. “You dare speak of Yun Tian?” Her voice was icy, each word sharp as a blade. “If not for Yun Lintian, he wouldn’t have sacrificed himself!”
Yue Yun didn’t flinch. She met Yao Xi’s gaze steadily, her expression calm. “Yun Tian chose his own fate. He knew the consequences.”
“Lies!” Yao Xi’s aura flared, the light around her intensifying. “Yun Lintian dragged him into that battle. He used him!”
Yue Yun shook her head slightly. “You’ve held onto this hatred for so long, yet you refuse to see the truth.”
Ren Yuan watched them with mild amusement, his golden eyes flickering between the two women. “How interesting. The inheritor of the God of Light, drowning in vengeance, and a mysterious girl wielding the Tree of Life’s power.” His lips curled into a faint smile. “Tell me, Yue Yun—who are you really?”
Yue Yun ignored him, keeping her focus on Yao Xi. “Yun Tian was never just a pawn. He fought for what he believed in. Just like you are now.”
Yao Xi’s fingers twitched, her light condensing into a blade. “Enough. I don’t need your empty words.”
Before she could strike, Ren Yuan chuckled. “Ah, such passion. But we have more pressing matters.”
His Heaven’s Eye pulsed, and the golden domain solidified once more, pressing down on everyone present. Long Si and Long Wu groaned under the pressure, their injuries that had just recovered flaring.
Yue Yun’s eyes narrowed. She raised her hand, and the Moon Staff materialized in her grasp, its silver glow cutting through Ren Yuan’s oppressive aura.
“You won’t lay a finger on the World Tree,” she said coldly.
Ren Yuan’s smirk widened. “Oh? And how do you plan to stop me?”
Yue Yun didn’t answer. Instead, her aura erupted—a vast, boundless energy that resonated with the very essence of the endless abyss. Behind her, the phantom of a colossal tree shimmered into existence, its roots digging into the void, its branches stretching beyond comprehension.
The Tree of Life.
Ren Yuan’s golden eyes gleamed with recognition. “So it’s true. You inherited it.”
Yue Yun’s grip on the Moon Staff tightened. “This ends now.”
With a single step, she vanished—reappearing before Ren Yuan in an instant, her staff slashing downward.
BOOM!
Space itself split as the Moon Staff clashed against Ren Yuan’s raised forearm. The impact sent shockwaves rippling outward, cracking the ground beneath them.
Ren Yuan’s smile never faded. “Impressive. But not enough.”
His third eye flashed, and time around Yue Yun distorted—slowing her movements to a crawl.
Yet Yue Yun’s lips curled slightly.
“Break.”
A pulse of emerald energy erupted from her, shattering the temporal shackles effortlessly. Ren Yuan’s eyes widened slightly as Yue Yun’s staff struck again, forcing him back.
Chun Yue, who had been observing silently, finally moved. Her delicate fingers wove through the air, summoning a storm of razor-sharp petals that spiraled toward Yue Yun.
Yue Yun’s eyes flashed coldly as Chun Yue’s petal storm descended upon her. Without even turning, she flicked her wrist, and a wall of azure flames erupted from the ground, reducing the razor petals to ash before they could reach her.
Chun Yue was stunned. “Azure Dragon Flames?!”
Ren Yuan’s golden eyes narrowed. He seemed to think of something incredible.
ROAR—
Suddenly, Yue Yun’s body shimmered as an enormous azure dragon projection materialized behind her. The Primordial Azure Dragon God Soul’s eyes burned with ancient power, its very presence making the void tremble.
Yao Xi, who had been watching with clenched fists, suddenly stiffened. “That aura…!”
Ren Yuan was surprised. He could never forget that pair of azure eyes. It was without a doubt belonged to the Primordial Azure Dragon God.
Yue Yun gave him no time to think.
“Moonfall.”
The Moon Staff pulsed as the very essence of lunar power condensed above Ren Yuan’s head—a miniature moon crashing down with world-shattering force.
BOOOOM!
The explosion sent Ren Yuan skidding back dozens of meters, his golden robes torn. Yet he remained standing, wiping blood from his lips with a dark chuckle. “Interesting. Very interesting.”
His Heaven’s Eye pulsed violently.
“Heavenly Decree: Annihilation.”
A golden beam lanced toward Yue Yun, carrying the absolute authority to erase existence itself.
Yue Yun crossed her arms, and the Primordial Azure Dragon roared. A swirling vortex of ten elemental energies—fire, water, earth, wind, wood, metal, lightning, darkness, light, and space—formed a dazzling shield before her.
BOOOOOOOM!!
The collision sent shockwaves ripping through the endless abyss. Mountains of voidstone in the distance vaporized instantly.
Ren Yuan’s eyes gleamed with each element Yue Yun revealed. “Ten elemental laws… and now…”
Yue Yun suddenly split into nine afterimages, each wielding a different elemental attack.
“Elemental Annihilation Array.”
Fire dragons, tidal waves, meteor showers, razor winds, and lightning spears converged on Ren Yuan from all directions. The very space around him fractured under the assault.
“Master!” Chun Yue screamed as she was sent flying.
Ren Yuan’s golden barrier cracked under the onslaught. For the first time, genuine surprise flashed across his face. “This power… it’s exactly like…”
Then Yue Yun’s true body appeared above him, her right hand blazing with golden flames and her left wielding phoenix fire.
“Divine Phoenix Flame!”
“Golden Crow Inferno!”
The twin legendary flames merged into a spiraling pillar of destruction that engulfed Ren Yuan completely.
Yao Xi furrowed her brow as she stared at Yue Yun deeply. “Those flames…”
The inferno suddenly parted like a curtain.
Ren Yuan stood unharmed within a sphere of distorted time, his golden eyes burning with revelation. “Interesting! So it’s true. You’re Yun Lintian’s daughter.”
