True Darkness (1)

Yun Lintian's eyes widened as he saw his own attack hurtling towards him. He raised his sword, channeling the power of the God Mark of Light to create a barrier of radiant energy. The reflected attack struck the barrier, and the resulting explosion sent Yun Lintian flying backward, his body skidding across the space.

"Pathetic," Yao Huang said, his voice filled with disdain. "You thought you could defeat me with such a weak attack?"

Yun Lintian slowly stood up, his expression calm despite the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He wiped it away with the back of his hand, his eyes never leaving Yao Huang.

He had never heard about the Mirror of Darkness before but it wasn't surprised him much. After all, it was impossible for a Primordial God to have zero artifact.

"No matter how much you rely on the artifact, you will never be a true God of Darkness," Yun Lintian said calmly, his aura surging.
