Myth Beyond Heaven



"Father, we cannot give up like this." Inside a profound ark, Shan Lou said to Shan Jinhao unwillingly. "You know that little bitch Wu Qingcheng, and I have a grudge. I'm afraid she will settle the account with me sooner or later."

"That's not something you should worry about." Shan Jinhao replied calmly. "Whether Wu Qingcheng can take the position is unknown. And even if she did, it would take a long time for her to convince all of them from top to bottom."

After staying in the Shen Clan for several years, Shan Jinhao knew more or less about the situation inside the clan. With Wu Qingcheng's pitiful strength, it was almost impossible for her to convince those old foxes in the clan in a short time. It would keep her busy for many years to come.

"As for Yun Lintian, his situation isn't optimistic. The stronger he becomes, the more danger he will face. There are many people keeping an eye on him, after all." Shan Jinhao said further.

He looked at Shen Yifei and asked. "What's your plan? In fact, you don't have to come here at all."

Shen Yifei frowned slightly and said. "My stubborn old man is difficult to predict. Even though he will never hurt me, it doesn't mean he will let me live comfortably there. Not to mention my good daughter. Don't look at her low strength. In fact, she is shrewder than my brother's children. With father behind her, she will soar to the sky sooner or later."

Just as Shan Jinhao wanted to say something, his expression changed drastically as he perceived something dangerous.

Inside the main room of the profound ark, Shan Mujin, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, suddenly opened his eyes and glanced toward the outside coldly. "Heh. Look like the two of you have been waiting for me all this time."

At this moment, Murong Mengyi and Hong Hualian emerged from the void and surrounded the Hidden Mountain Profound Ark. Their auras covered the entire starry sky, preventing the profound ark from going forward.

"No, no, no. You're mistaken. We didn't wait for you here. It's more like you are running into us." Hong Hualian said playfully.

The moment Yun Lintian's news spread out, Murong Mengyi and Hong Hualian immediately rushed over and observed the situation in secret. Everything that happened inside the Mystic God Realm couldn't escape their perceptions.

"Who are they?" Inside the profound ark, Shan Lou asked in puzzlement.

"Endless Dream God Emperor and Red Lotus God Emperor." Shan Jinhao said with a solemn expression. 

"W-What?" Shan Lou was shocked stupidly. 

Hong Hualian glanced at Shan Jinhao and then at Shen Yifei. "Hehe. I often heard that Senior Shen's only daughter is a talented woman. Well, a rumor is a rumor, after all. I really don't understand why you abandoned a gold like Wu Qingcheng and Wu Liwei to pick up cow dung like him."

Shen Yifei's face darkened, but she didn't refute it, as arguing with a God Emperor would be unwise.

Shan Mujin stepped forward and appeared in the starry sky outside the profound ark. He stared at the two women coldly and said. "Let them go, and I will accompany you two here."

Hong Hualian curled her lips and said mockingly. "What is this? Is the sun going to rise from the west today? A heartless Hidden Mountain God Emperor actually cares about his descendants."

She paused briefly and said further. "Of course, we are not a cruel person like you who killed even a newborn baby just because you want to cut the roots completely."

The cruelty of the Hidden Mountain God Emperor made his name resound throughout the entire Divine Realm. Millions of people had died in his hand, both directly and indirectly, throughout the years. It was said that he didn't even spare a newborn kid just because he didn't want to leave a potentially hidden danger.

Shan Mujin ignored Hong Hualian's mocking as he glanced at a few Divine Emperors inside the profound ark and said. "Go. Send your young master back."

"My Lord…" The Divine Emperors didn't want to leave as they were worried about Shan Mujin.

Shan Mujin frowned and said coldly. "Do you want me to repeat it again?"

"Understood." The Divine Emperors could only give up and drove the profound ark away.

Hong Hualian and Murong Mengyi naturally kept their word and allowed the profound ark to leave. It was beneath them to resort to a lowly means like threatening an opponent's family, to begin with.

After the profound ark left, Shan Mujin turned to Hong Hualian and asked icily. "Who wants to die first?"

Hong Hualian's smile receded as she said. "Shan Mujin. Your actions back then caused many of my people to die. It's time for you to pay the price." 

Her voice filled with boundless killing intent that caused the surrounding space to tremble. It could be seen how deep her hatred for Shan Mujin was.

"Heh. This is why your strength hasn't improved much over the years. You care too much about those significant ants." Shan Mujin grinned coldly. 

"Die!" Hong Hualian uttered coldly, and thirty-six crimson lotuses instantly bloomed in the starry sky around Shan Mujin. The lotuses had nine layers, and each layer had a total of nine petals burning as bright as flames.

The instant the thirty-six crimson lotuses bloomed, the surrounding space trembled even more violently, and countless spatial rifts could be seen everywhere. 

Shan Mujin's brows sank upon seeing this. If it was his heyday, he wouldn't worry about these two women at all. 

Shan Mujin suddenly raised his palm, and the word "mountain" appeared brightly on his forehead. Following that, a thick yellow divine light burst from his body and formed a mountain-shaped barrier around him. It was the strongest defensive barrier he could create so far. 

He even went on to make a second, a third, all the way to a twentieth barrier, as it looked like twenty mountains stacked on each other.

Shan Mujin chose to defend instead of attacking because he was well aware of Murong Mengyi's soul technique. It was too difficult to attack while guarding against her in this situation.

While Shan Mujin stacked barriers like he had gone crazy, the thirty-six crimson lotuses were blooming at an extraordinary rate. When the petals of every lotus came into contact with one another, their fiery auras connected, and a pillar of crimson flame suddenly gushed into the air, spreading across the starry sky…
