Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian completely lost the connection when his alarm formation was dismantled by Lei Jun's bodyguards. Right now, he had no idea what happened on Lei Jun's side. A sense of urgency forced Yun Lintian to choose between entering the Land of Beyond Heaven and rushed out of here as soon as possible.

The first choice was, of course, the safest way, but Yun Lintian did not know how long he had to stay there. What if Lei Jun decided to camp here and waited for him? As for the second choice, with his speed, he had no chance to escape from the Ruler Profound practitioner like Lei Jun's bodyguards.

What to do now? Yun Lintian thought. Suddenly, he saw a lightning bolt flashed in the distance, and a bold idea popped up in his mind… The lightning element can interfere with Spiritual Sense. What if I cover myself with lightning? Yun Lintian recalled the earlier experience when he used Eyes of Heaven and failed to see those profound beasts' strength.

Without further ado, Yun Lintian summoned the crown and moved his mind to gather the surrounding lightning element. Instantaneously, Yun Lintian's body was covered with dense lightning energy, turning him into a golden human.

In order to distract the enemy, Yun Lintian activated the self-destruction function on the formation he set up and stared at the night sky, waiting for the right time.

Zzzzziii…Bang!

As Yun Lintian saw several lightning bolts descended simultaneously, he quickly rushed out of the formation, heading in the opposite direction of Lei Jun with all his might.

"Hmm?" One of Lei Jun's bodyguards noticed something and saw a golden human figure fled away in a flash. Without hesitation, he quickly gave a chase. However, just as he passed the conceal formation that Yun Lintian left behind, a sense of danger appeared in his heart, and he instinctively conjured a protective barrier around him.

Boom!

The explosion swept the surrounding area like a raging tide, sending the bodyguard's body away several meters while Lei Jun, Ming Wu, and Qi Yuanfeng were quickly hiding behind their protective barriers. The impact continued for a full minute before disappearing.

Lei Jun didn't dare to remove his barrier. He contacted his bodyguards with a solemn expression. "Have you discovered something?"

The bodyguard who spotted Yun Lintian earlier reported back after stabilizing his body on the ground. "I've discovered a human figure. His entire body is covered with lightning energy. I couldn't see his face clearly."

Lei Jun's brows knitted together and ordered. "Chase!" Following that, he rushed in Yun Lintian's direction.

Ming Wu and Qi Yuanfeng looked at each other, and the latter said. "This is similar to the Misty Cloud Sect's incident back then. Without a doubt, this person is someone from the Misty Cloud Sect."

The image of the man who walked with Lan Ning at the Blue Moon inn appeared in Qi Yuanfeng's mind. He was now certain that person was Yun Lintian.

"Go." Ming Wu became excited as soon as he heard this and chased Lei Jun, followed by Qi Yuanfeng and the other five bodyguards.

Yun Lintian poured every ounce of his profound energy into his legs as he constantly activated the Shadow Step. It was because Yun Lintian's Beyond Heaven Profound Vein was ten times larger than an ordinary profound vein, he could sustain the Shadow Step's consumption for an extended period. If it were average profound practitioners, they would exhaust their profound energy by now.

In Thunder Valley, flying here was akin to suicide. No matter how powerful they were, they could only walk or run on the ground. Otherwise, they would be hit by thunder.

The path ahead was narrowed, could only contain two people at a time. Yun Lintian's mind flashed with another idea. With the crown on his head, Yun Lintian had the power to control a portion of the lightning element. While he passed through the narrowed path, Yun Lintian pierced a long iron spear on the ground with the pointy side upturn. He also sent a trace of lightning element into it.

That was right. Yun Lintian tried to make a simple lightning rod. Whether it was working as he expected, Yun Lintian didn't care about it. All he wanted to do was to delay the chaser as much as possible.

When the bodyguard who was closest to Yun Lintian's position arrived at the narrowed path, he was taken aback upon seeing the spear stood tall in the distance. His lips arched into a contempt smile when he saw through Yun Lintian's plan. "Heh… want to use such a useless trick to stop me? How naïve."

He gathered profound energy in his palm and sent it to the spear, aiming to blast it away. However, he didn't expect that the moment he sent his power out, the lightning element within the spear suddenly sparked, calling a golden lightning strike from the sky.

Bang!

The lightning bolt struck right on the tip of the spear and ultimately burned it into powder. Instead of going straight to the ground, the golden lightning spread to the surrounding area like a spider web.

The bodyguard was shocked and hurriedly conjured a protective barrier while retreating.

As Lei Jun said, the Divine Thunder Profound Art was useless against the lightning bolt here. How could the bodyguard who practice Heaven-rank profound art stand against it? His protective barrier immediately shattered upon being touched by the trace of a lightning bolt, rendering him powerless to defend.

Puff!

The bodyguard coughed up fresh blood as he was sent away by the impact.

Yun Lintian didn't know the situation behind him, but he could guess his plan worked. He didn't expect to inflict damage on the chaser by doing that, but he hoped the lightning strike could make the chaser stop for five seconds.

Yun Lintian had no time to follow the result. He looked at the path ahead of him vigilantly, thinking whether he would encounter others if he continued in this direction.

It was as though the goddess of fate wanted to play with him. Yun Lintian suddenly discovered a movement behind the tree in the distance, causing him to halt his step.

"Who?" When Yun Lintian turned his body around, preparing to run, he heard a familiar voice rang out from that direction, making him stop his action.

Wait a moment…Lin Xinyao? Yun Lintian immediately recognized the identity of the opposite party.
