Myth Beyond Heaven



Xing Ruihong's entire body was covered in grave wounds. Blood gushed out everywhere, staining his white robe red. His face was ghastly pale, as if he had just seen a ghost.

As he rushed forward, he noticed Yun Lintian's group ahead, and his expression changed dramatically. However, compared to what he had encountered previously, the appearance of Yun Lintian's group was like a heaven-sent opportunity.

"Help!" Xing Ruihong shouted as he approached Yun Lintian's group.

Jiang Shuren frowned deeply and said. "Stop right there."

However, Xing Ruihong had no intention of stopping or slowing down. He had become even faster instead.

At that moment, a terrifying devilish aura erupted from the far distance behind Xing Ruihong. It immediately distorted the entire space and swallowed all the light around Yun Lintian's location, causing a dramatic change in the expressions of everyone in Yun Lintian's group.

"Where are you going?" A hoarse and eerie voice echoed through the sky.

Xing Ruihong shuddered involuntarily as the voice echoed in his ears. He frantically rushed towards Yun Lintian's group like a madman.

Puff!

All of a sudden, a long black lance abruptly descended from the sky and ruthlessly pierced through Xing Ruihong's chest, pinning him to the ground. Everything happened so fast that no one could react.

"Argh! Help me!" Xing Ruihong groaned in pain as he looked at Yun Lintian's group pleadingly.

However, no one in Yun Lintian's group moved, as they were all fixated on a mysterious black figure up ahead. The figure was incredibly thin, but it was slightly better compared to Lou De. The problem was that this figure's aura was as powerful as Lou De's, seemingly coming out of the same mold.

"Oh? Another group of mice? The figure looked at Yun Lintian's group in surprise, licking its lips. "It seems like there are a lot of people coming this time."

Yun Lintian furrowed his brow tightly. Lou De and the man before him seemed to share a similar cannibalistic trait. What on earth happened in this place?

"What should we do?" Jiang Shuren asked everyone through a voice transmission. "This person is not inferior to Lou De in the slightest. Fighting head on is not a good choice."

"I'll try to restrain him. Seniors have a few seconds to kill him. Do not hold back." Yun Lintian said, and the White Tiger Spear silently appeared in his hand.

Meanwhile, Kong Xun hesitantly glanced at the tattered pants in his hand. He didn't know whether it would work on this man, like it did on Lou De.

The man in black glanced strangely at Yun Lintian. "A Divine Tribulation Realm's mouse? What are you going to do with that toothpick in your hand?"

As he spoke, the man quickly arrived by Xing Ruihong's side and touched his head. "I told you not to run, but you didn't listen."

"HELP ME!!" Xing Ruihong roared desperately, trying to summon the last remnants of his divine energy. Unfortunately, he had spent everything in order to escape from the man's grasp, and now he had almost nothing left.

"Do you want to help him?" Jiang Shuren asked.

"No need." Yun Lintian said. "Wait for my signal."

"What are you shouting for?" The man twisted Xing Ruihong's head with his claw-like hand. The next moment, a surge of black energy engulfed Xing Ruihong's head, and his whole body exploded into fleshy pieces.

Afterward, the man waved his hand and drew all the scattered flesh and blood to his hand, while sticking out his long and hideous tongue, as if he was about to savor the most exquisite delicacy in the world.

In that instant, Yun Lintian suddenly threw the spear towards the man and shouted. "Now!"

The spear transformed into a huge fire dragon, rushing toward the man with its mouth wide open.

The man raised his head to look at the incoming fire dragon with a strange expression. "Quite a fancy trick."

However, as the man was about to raise his hand to grab the incoming dragon, Yun Lintian suddenly appeared before him like a ghost, completely catching him off guard.

ROAR—

A deafening roar of a tiger echoed through the heavens and the earth, causing the man to freeze in place.

At the same time, Jiang Shuren, Yu Zhilan, and Kong Xun had arrived beside the man, launching their most powerful attacks against him.

BOOOOM!!

The combined powers of the three peak Divine Emperors crashed into the man's head, heart, and abdomen simultaneously. A massive explosion erupted at the points of impact, obliterating the man directly and leaving behind scattered traces of darkened blood.

Yun Lintian and the others quickly stabilized themselves on the ground and solemnly observed the scattered flesh and blood. The moment they attacked the man, they immediately realized that without Yun Lintian's White Tiger roar, it would be impossible to defeat him.

"First Lou De, and now this. What exactly happened here?" Jiang Shuren frowned deeply.

Kong Xun searched for clues among the remains of the man on the ground and discovered a storage ring. He quickly looked inside and found a small booklet titled "Demonic Claw of Calamity."

"Demonic Claw of Calamity… This name... If I remember correctly, it should be one of the Devil God Emperors from ancient times." Kong Xun said with a frown. "Both Lou De and this Devil God Emperor were powerhouses who lived in the previous era, and they should have reached the end of their lifespans a long time ago. How could they still be alive here?"

"What's more? Both of them looked for flesh and blood to consume. There should be something about this."

Jiang Shuren carefully observed the black lance that was impaled into the ground and said. "This is a God Emperor's artifact. But it seems to be corroded by something, causing a significant decrease in its power."

As she spoke, she reached out to grab it.

"Don't touch it!" Yun Lintian suddenly appeared beside Jiang Shuren and firmly grasped her wrist, preventing her from touching the lance.

Jiang Shuren looked at Yun Lintian with puzzlement but didn't ask anything.

Yun Lintian looked at the black lance through the Eyes of Heaven and saw several black worm-like creatures wriggling inside. This was the first time he had seen dark energy in this form.

When he glanced at the ground below, his expression changed drastically as he saw these "black worms" moving from the lance and spreading across the ground, rushing towards the scattered flesh and blood nearby…
