Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2155 Unknown Origin

Yun Lintian took a step back, his curiosity piqued by the protective barrier surrounding the coffin. There was no doubt; whoever placed the coffin here held the woman in high regard.

Rumble—

The structure of the cavern started to change again. The commotion snapped Yun Lintian out of his contemplation.

Yun Lintian, leaving further contemplation aside, fed more divine stones into the formation. He cast one final look at the flawless woman within the coffin before turning and walking away.

The moment he stepped out of the chamber and continued down the passage, the woman's eyelids fluttered ever so slightly, a hint of awakening.

The scattered moon energy pulsed with renewed activity, gathering and swirling above the coffin.

A tremor ran through the coffin, a ripple echoing through the stagnant air. The woman's eyelids, like delicate butterfly wings, fluttered open, revealing a breathtaking vista.

Her irises, pools of swirling amethyst, shimmered with an otherworldly luminescence. They held the depth of a starlit sky, tinged with the ethereal glow of the moon. The sight would have stolen the breath of any mortal man, but the woman's own memory remained shrouded in mist.

Confusion, a primal instinct, flickered in those amethyst depths. Where was she? Who was she? The knowledge that should have flowed naturally was a desolate wasteland, devoid of even a single echo.

Panic, a cold serpent, coiled around her heart, threatening to squeeze the life from her newly awakened form.

Yet, amidst the chaos, a sliver of awareness remained. The faint thrumming of energy, the moonbeams gathering above the coffin – these sensations, though foreign, brought a strange sense of comfort. It was as if an instinct, buried deep within her very being, recognized the energy as a source of solace, a familiar embrace from a forgotten past.

With a gasp, the woman rose, her movements fluid and graceful despite the long slumber. The amethyst light in her eyes intensified, bathing the chamber in an ethereal glow.

The protective barrier around the coffin flickered and dissolved under the woman's unconscious command.

As she emerged from her crystalline prison, the moon energy coalesced above, forming a shimmering vortex. It pulsed with an otherworldly rhythm, beckoning her, promising answers to the questions that gnawed at her very core.

Briefly surveying the chamber, she detected a foreign aura lingering in the air. A tightness gripped her heart as if invisible hands squeezed it. A wave of yearning flooded her, prompting her eyes to dart around, searching for the source of the unfamiliar presence.

Seeing no one, she fell silent, her mind a whirlwind as she grappled with her own identity. Countless memory fragments flickered in her head, taunting her with their inaccessibility.

The moment she reached for them, a searing pain erupted, forcing her to the ground. She clutched her head with both hands, a silent scream trapped in her throat. "Ah!"

Sweat beaded on her forehead as she panted heavily. The searing pain receded as quickly as it came, leaving behind a throbbing ache and a chilling realization. Her past was not simply forgotten, it was sealed away, locked behind a barrier as impenetrable as the one that once surrounded her coffin.

This realization sent a fresh wave of panic crashing over her. It felt like she had been buried alive, not just in the chamber, but within her own mind.

Disorientation gnawed at her. The cavern itself seemed to mock her predicament, constantly shifting and morphing, offering no clues about where she was or how long she had been imprisoned.

Her amethyst eyes darted around, taking in the exit leading to a dark passage. There seemed to be an alluring rhythm, a siren song promising answers.

But a primal instinct held her back. The memory fragments, though painful, whispered warnings. This place, this energy, it felt both familiar and strangely wrong.

Pushing herself to her feet, a newfound resolve hardened her gaze. She wouldn't succumb to the panic.

With tentative steps, she ventured out of the chamber, the ever-changing passage stretching before her like a treacherous path into the unknown.

Yun Lintian pushed deeper into the labyrinthine passage, the fragment on his chest pulsing with a faint light. The air grew thicker with an oppressive silence, broken only by the rhythmic drip of water echoing from somewhere unseen.

As he navigated the ever-shifting corridors, a sense of unease gnawed at him. Was he being led astray?

Suddenly, the fragment's glow intensified, erupting in a brilliant flash that momentarily blinded him. When his vision cleared, he found himself before a colossal stone door emblazoned with an intricate symbol.

The symbol resonated with a familiar energy, one he recognized from the Moon relic within him. Could this be related to the woman earlier?

Rumble—

As Yun Lintian reached for the symbol, the ground trembled violently. Dust rained down from the crumbling ceiling as a monstrous roar resonated through the passage.

A colossal stone golem, its body etched with glowing runes, lumbered out of a hidden alcove, blocking the path to the door.

This wasn't a guardian he expected. This was a monstrous construct built solely for destruction. Its eyes, glowing orbs of molten rock, focused on Yun Lintian with a primal hunger.

"Looks like you'll have to earn your way in," Yun Lintian muttered and the water sword appeared in his hand.

A wry smile played on Yun Lintian's lips. Here, another obstacle stood between him and the secrets this tomb held. Fortunately, unlike the people he'd faced before, this one radiated a dull, oppressive power – a brute force fighter, predictable and slow.

"RAWH!"

The colossal golem, easily twice Yun Lintian's height, roared again, the sound echoing through the passage like a collapsing mountain. It lumbered forward, each earth-shaking step sending tremors through the very air.

The ground beneath Yun Lintian's feet vibrated, testing his resolve.

But Yun Lintian stood unfazed, the water sword in his hand shimmering with an ethereal blue light. The Law of Water imbued within it hummed with a quiet power, a stark contrast to the golem's raw, destructive energy.

With a flick of his wrist, Yun Lintian unleashed a torrent of water blades. They sliced through the air, their cutting edge honed by the Law of Water, and slammed into the golem's rocky exterior.

CLANG!

Sparks splattered where the blades met stone, leaving behind shallow gashes that did little to faze the colossal creature.

"Owhhh!" The golem bellowed in rage, its massive stone fist swinging down towards Yun Lintian with enough force to shatter mountains.
