Chapter 2742 2742: Radiant Judgment (2)

Boom!

Space itself ripped apart as she slashed downward. Twin arcs of annihilating light tore through the void, each one capable of erasing a True God from existence.

Yun Lintian didn't retreat.

Instead, his left hand flashed—and a second spear appeared.

Frostmourne Spear.

Now, he wielded both the White Dragon Spear and Frostmourne Spear, their energies clashing yet harmonizing under his control.

Li Qinglan's eyes narrowed slightly. "Two divine weapons? Interesting."

Yun Lintian didn't respond. His aura shifted—darkness, water, and earth swirling around him in perfect synchronization. The power of the God of Darkness, the God of River, and the God of Mountain merged seamlessly, forming a trinity of elemental might.

Li Qinglan frowned slightly. "Multiple Primordial powers? So, Hei Xuan didn't lie to me."

She struck again.

This time, her swords didn't just slash—they rewrote reality. The light bent space, creating a labyrinth of distorted dimensions around Yun Lintian. A single misstep would trap him in an endless void.

Yun Lintian moved.

Not with speed—but with Void Shattering Steps.

His body flickered in and out of existence, slipping through the cracks in Li Qinglan's spatial prison. The moment he reappeared, he counterattacked—White Dragon Spear thrusting forward with the weight of a collapsing mountain, Frostmourne Spear sweeping with the relentless flow of an endless river.

Li Qinglan blocked effortlessly, her swords intercepting both strikes with a deafening clang.

But then—

Crack!

A fissure formed in her light barrier.

Li Qinglan's eyes widened slightly.

Yun Lintian wasn't just attacking.

He was eroding her defenses.

The God of Mountain's power made each strike unstoppable.

The God of River's power made each attack endless.

And the God of Darkness's power made each motion unpredictable.

For the first time, Li Qinglan was forced to retreat.

She flickered backward, her expression unreadable. Then—

"Enough playing."

Her aura exploded.

The void around them shattered, revealing an endless expanse of pure light. This was no longer the Eternal Darkness Realm—this was her domain, a world where only light existed.

Yun Lintian's body locked up, the pressure threatening to crush him.

Li Qinglan raised a single finger.

"Judgment of the Divine Light."

A beam of annihilation lanced toward him—so bright it burned away the very concept of darkness.

Yun Lintian couldn't dodge.

So he didn't.

Instead, he vanished.

Eternal Night.

The beam passed through empty space, obliterating everything in its path.

But Yun Lintian was gone.

Li Qinglan's divine sense scanned the void—but found nothing.

Then—

BANG!

Yun Lintian reappeared behind her, both spears slamming into her back.

Li Qinglan staggered forward, her light armor cracking.

Silence.

Suddenly, she laughed.

"Good."

Her voice was no longer cold. Instead, it carried a hint of amusement.

"You've forced me to use this."

Her swords merged, forming a single blade of condensed Primordial Light.

The moment it appeared, reality itself screamed.

Yun Lintian's instincts warned him.

This attack—he couldn't block it.

Yun Lintian's eyes blazed with determination.

He exhaled sharply—and his aura exploded.

Darkness, water, and earth swirled violently around him, merging into a single, overwhelming force. The White Dragon Spear in his right hand pulsed with the God of Mountain's indomitable might, while the Frostmourne Spear in his left shimmered with the God of River's endless flow.

But he wasn't done.

"Azure Dragon."

A draconic roar echoed through the void as azure scales erupted across his right arm.

"White Tiger."

Golden claws extended from his left hand, crackling with divine fury.

"Black Turtle."

A shell-like barrier of dark energy encased his body, pulsing with ancient resilience.

Hei Yue gasped. "He's activating all three Divine Beast bloodlines at once?!"

Mu Ren's golden eyes widened. "Impossible..."

Even Li Qinglan's expression flickered with surprise.

Yun Lintian didn't hesitate.

"Divine Convergence."

The three Primordial God powers—darkness, water, earth—merged with the three Divine Beast bloodlines, forming a singular, unstoppable force.

Li Qinglan's grip tightened on her blade. "You—"

Yun Lintian vanished.

Not with Void Shattering Steps.

Not with spatial movement.

He simply wasn't there anymore.

Li Qinglan's divine sense barely registered his presence before—

BOOM!

Both spears slammed into her chest.

The impact shattered space itself, sending shockwaves rippling across dimensions. Li Qinglan's eyes widened as she was sent flying for the first time in her immortal life.

Blood—golden and radiant—spilled from her lips.

Silence.

Absolute, stunned silence.

Li Qinglan stabilized herself, wiping the divine blood from her mouth. Her gaze locked onto Yun Lintian, no longer dismissive, but calculating.

"You..." Her voice was quiet. "You actually hurt me."

Yun Lintian didn't respond. The three Divine Beast bloodlines pulsed around him, their power merging seamlessly with the Primordial energies.

Li Qinglan's lips curled. "Good."

Then—

She moved.

Faster than before.

Her blade of Primordial Light slashed downward, carving reality itself apart.

Yun Lintian blocked with both spears crossed—but the force sent him skidding back, his arms trembling.

Li Qinglan didn't let up.

Her attacks came in relentless waves—each slash capable of annihilating a realm, each thrust bending the laws of physics.

Yun Lintian countered with everything he had.

For the first time in eternity, Li Qinglan—the God of Light—was being pushed back.

Hei Yue watched in stunned silence. "He's... matching Mother?"

Hei Xuan smirked. "Not just matching."

Li Qinglan's expression darkened. She raised her blade high—

"Radiant Annihilation."

A sphere of condensed starlight formed above her, its radiance so intense it burned away the very concept of darkness.

Yun Lintian didn't retreat.

Instead, he charged forward, both spears glowing with converged power.

The moment before collision—

He vanished.

Li Qinglan's eyes widened.

Then—

BOOOOOOM—!

Yun Lintian reappeared behind her, both spears slamming into her back again.

Li Qinglan coughed blood, her divine form flickering.

She whirled around, her blade lashing out—

But Yun Lintian was already gone, slipping through the void like a shadow.

For the first time...

The God of Light looked vulnerable.

Li Qinglan steadied herself in the void, golden blood still dripping from her lips. Her divine aura pulsed erratically—something that had never happened in her countless years of existence. She raised her blade once more, light condensing around it with terrifying intensity.

Then—

"That's enough."

Hei Xuan's voice cut through the tension like a blade. He stepped forward, his rejuvenated form standing between them. His dark eyes locked onto Li Qinglan's.

"Yun Lintian might not be able to kill you here," he said calmly. "But you have no way to defeat him either. This battle is pointless now."

Li Qinglan's grip on her sword tightened. "Step aside."

He didn't move. "Look at him."

Yun Lintian hovered in the void, both spears still glowing with converged power. The three Divine Beast bloodlines pulsed around him—Azure Dragon's spatial dominance, White Tiger's killing intent, Black Turtle's absolute defense. And beneath it all, the merged powers of three Primordial Gods.

He wasn't even breathing heavily...
