Myth Beyond Heaven

Yue Chuntao was surprised and asked. "Did you find it?"

Yun Lintian shook his head. "I still haven't found its exact location, but it should be somewhere ahead."

Yue Chuntao frowned slightly. "If that were the case, why would the man earlier choose to stay on the surface?"

Yun Lintian shrugged. "Perhaps he couldn't go any further down."

Yue Chuntao glanced at the sizzling lava and thought it might be the case. However, she believed there must be another reason behind this.

Meanwhile, there was a subtle change in Nantian Fengyu's eyes. She seemed to have thought of something.

Yun Lintian looked at Yue Chuntao and asked with concern. "Are you alright?"

Both Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu had the highest affinity for the fire element. Coupled with the Divine Phoenix bloodlines, the intense heat in this space wouldn't harm them much, even if they didn't use any barriers. However, Yue Chuntao was different. She was the opposite pole of the fire element.

"Don't worry. It's nothing to me." Yue Chuntao waved her hand dismissively. "However, my spiritual sense has been limited in this place. It is difficult to detect anything ahead of time. Once a battle breaks out, we will be at a disadvantage."

"Let me lead." Yun Lintian said and moved to the front.

Yue Chuntao didn't say anything, and the three continued diving further.

While Yun Lintian's group was swimming in the molten lava, another group of people stood on an island engulfed in searing flames somewhere in the Neverending Burning Hell.

Within the reddish-gold sea of flames, the silhouette of a temple could be vaguely seen.

"I had heard about it before but didn't expect it to be true." A young man spoke as he gazed at the temple with a hint of desire in his eyes. If Yun Lintian were here, he would immediately recognize him. This person was none other than Ling Zemin.

"Without a doubt, there must be the Golden Crow God's legacy inside that building." Another young man spoke. This person had a relatively decent appearance with a hint of evil on his face. He was Zhan Huan, the eldest son of the Infinite Void God Emperor.

He glanced at Ling Zemin and said with a smile. "I heard you went to the Sea of Stars and met the Beyond Heaven King's successor. Is he strong?"

Ling Zemin's face darkened slightly upon hearing this question. He snorted coldly. "He was just lucky. I would have beaten him to a pulp if we had met outside."

Yun Lintian was the main reason he was sent to this place to "temper" his heart and soul. Whenever Ling Zemin heard this name, he would think of the scene where he had to run away from Yun Lintian. It made him angry and unable to express his frustration.

Zhan Huan chuckled. "It couldn't be helped. You fought in his territory, after all."

He turned to look at the temple amidst the sea of flames and continued speaking. "Do you think he will come here? If I guess correctly, the Golden Crow God left her legacy behind sorely because of him."

"That would do me a favor." Ling Zemin responded coldly. If Yun Lintian were to appear in front of him again, he would ensure that Yun Lintian couldn't escape his grasp.

"I'm afraid there will be something tricky here, just like the Sea of Stars. If that were the case, we wouldn't be his opponent." Zhan Huan expressed his thoughts.

Ling Zemin frowned slightly and swiftly expanded his spiritual sense outward, scanning for any potential traps in the vicinity.

"Ugh!" Suddenly, a searing pain surged in Ling Zemin's mind as soon as his spiritual senses touched the sea of flames.

Zhan Huan was slightly surprised and said. "Look. There really is something here."

Ling Zemin retracted his spiritual sense and waved his hand, sending an ice pike towards the sea of flames.

Puff!

The ice pike was instantly vaporized before reaching the flames.

Seeing this, Ling Zemin turned to look at the five people behind him and pointed at the skinny man. "You. Go over there."

These people were criminals who lived in the Neverending Burning Hell for a long time and were captured by Ling Zemin and Zhan Huan.

The skinny man was scared and quickly pleaded. "No! I will die! Please let me go."

"You will die too if you don't go." Ling Zemin said coldly, unleashing his power and dragging the skinny man towards him.

"I go! I go!" The skinny man quickly shouted as he struggled against the power of Ling Zemin.

Ling Zemin didn't care. He exerted strength and threw the skinny man towards the flames.

The skinny man screamed in fright and released his power. However, he was unable to resist the heat. His skin began to melt as he got closer to the flames. Within two seconds, he was reduced to ashes instantly.

Hiss—

The people behind Ling Zemin breathed in the cold air as they witnessed this scene. All of them could stay in the Neverending Burning Hell for this long, which proved that they were relatively powerful. However, the skinny man couldn't even last two seconds. They would not be any different.

Zhan Huan touched his chin, looking at the sea of flames in front of him thoughtfully. A moment later, he sighed and said. "Sure enough. It was intentionally prepared for the Beyond Heaven King's successor. There is no way for us to go in."

Ling Zemin was frustrated. He had been blocked once in the Reincarnation Tower and was now experiencing it again. "Why everything must be on his side? This is not fair."

Zhan Huan glanced at Ling Zemin in surprise. This was the first time he saw the mighty Everlasting Soul God Emperor's son lose his mind. It seemed that Yun Lintian had left a deep impression on him during their previous encounter.

Ling Zemin was born with a powerful background. He himself was blessed by luck, yet how could he speak about fairness here?

Zhan Huan sighed and said. "There is nothing we can do."

Ling Zemin responded with a hint of anger. "No. There is something we can do."

Zhan Huan looked at him silently, waiting for his explanation.

Ling Zemin took a deep breath to calm down and said. "We spread the news and lure him over."

Zhan Huan nodded slightly. "It's not a bad idea. However, there will be more people coming this way."

"So what? It's good for us. We can use them as our fodders." Ling Zemin said coldly.

Zhan Huan didn't say anything and silently gazed at the temple.

"Hmm?" Yun Lintian suddenly noticed something ahead after diving for a few hours. The molten lava ahead of him had a noticeably different color. It was more golden than the lava behind him.

The three of them glanced at each other and proceeded further with caution…
