Myth Beyond Heaven

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

As soon as Yun Lintian stepped onto the sea of flames, a continuous blast of explosions echoed from all directions.

The surrounding black flames soared into the sky as the temperature sharply increased. All the oxygen in that place seemed to have been completely burned away instantly.

Yun Lintian hurriedly utilized the power of the Black Turtle God's bloodline to summon a turtle shell shield around him. At the same time, he activated the Moon, freezing everything within a ten-meter radius around him.

The flames burned fiercely for a few minutes before slowly subsiding and returning to their original state.

Yun Lintian felt relieved to see this. He couldn't help but think about those participants. Without a doubt, they would be reduced to ashes in this situation.

Roar—

Before Yun Lintian could feel at ease, a group of dark figures suddenly emerged from the sea of flames, accompanied by sharp shrieks.

These creatures had thick tails extending from their backs and bodies similar to humans, except for their demonic appearance reminiscent of the creatures Yun Lintian often saw in movies.

As these peculiar creatures appeared, ancient runes began to shine on their foreheads. Yun Lintian could clearly see that the runes represented numbers. They were written in the number ten.

Yun Lintian was most surprised by the auras of these creatures. They were actually at the Lesser God Realm. One or two of them weren't scary, but with hundreds of them gathered together, that was definitely a nightmare.

The creatures charged at Yun Lintian, unleashing multiple bolts of black lightning from their foreheads.

Yun Lintian's face sank. The Heaven Piercing Sword in his right hand emitted terrifying Phoenix flames as he brandished it at the charging creatures.

Bang!

The black beams released by the beasts were blasted away with an explosive sound, causing a dreadful eruption of power.

At the same time, the Phoenix flames immediately swept over them, engulfing them entirely.

"Arghhh!" Miserable shrieks echoed as the beasts burned wildly.

As Yun Lintian prepared to launch another attack, a thousand more black figures suddenly appeared, rushing past their burning comrades toward Yun Lintian.

Zii—

The thousand black monsters unleashed countless bolts of black lightning all at once. These black lights resembled a giant spider web, making it difficult for Yun Lintian to dodge.

Yun Lintian was shocked by the multitude of creatures. The scene of a horde of hungry ghosts emerged in his mind.

Without hesitation, the power of the Sun and the Light Pole surged within Yun Lintian's body. The Golden Crow's flames, the Vermilion Bird's flames, and the Phoenix's flames immediately burst out of his body.

Yun Lintian tightly gripped the Heaven Piercing Sword before slashing it horizontally, creating a terrifying fiery arc that surged toward the horde of creatures.

BOOOM—

An explosion instantly swept through the entire area, followed by shrill screams. All the black monsters were completely blasted away before reducing into ashes in the next few moments.

Yun Lintian tightened his grip on the sword and looked around vigilantly. He was afraid that ten thousand more of the creatures would appear in the next moment.

After waiting a full minute, Yun Lintian was certain there wouldn't be another wave of attack.

He let out a long breath and looked at Gui Xuan suspiciously. "Is this really the best way to go?"

Gui Xuan blinked innocently as if he did not understand the question.

Yun Lintian was speechless. He was certain that Gui Xuan was feigning ignorance deliberately.

Yun Lintian threw a handful of pills into his mouth and quickly absorbed them. He had expended too much energy dealing with these creatures. It would be disastrous if something stronger appeared right now. He needed to replenish his spiritual energy as much as possible.

After fully absorbing the pills, Yun Lintian observed the surroundings again. Perhaps it was due to his earlier attack, the fog here actually became thinner. His perception range had expanded from ten meters to fifty meters around him.

Through the Eyes of Heaven, Yun Lintian saw nothing but the aura of death and intense flames.

"Where did those monsters come from?" Yun Lintian frowned slightly. "Ten… Could it be that they came from the tenth level of the eighteen hells?"

Considering this, Yun Lintian felt that the adversary he might encounter later could be something from the deeper level of hell.

At this moment, Yun Lintian's expression changed dramatically when he spotted a man in the distance ahead. It was clearly a ghost king!

The man was none other than Xiao Shou, the Ashe Ghost King.

A trace of surprise appeared in Xiao Shou's eyes as he noticed Yun Lintian. This young man was obviously the Lesser God, but he had managed to come this far.

After learning the lesson from the Flower Ghost King, Yun Lintian didn't hesitate to flee. His body transformed into a shadow and disappeared from the place.

Xiao Shou was taken aback and chuckled softly. "Don't worry. I'm not an unreasonable person."

His voice echoed in Yun Lintian's ears, but Yun Lintian had no intention of stopping.

However, Gui Xuan suddenly raised his hand and conjured a turtle shell barrier to imprison Yun Lintian.

"???" Yun Lintian was stunned and looked at Gui Xuan with a frown.

"Friend…" Gui Xuan said softly.

Yun Lintian furrowed his brow. He couldn't understand how Gui Xuan judged people, but it had been accurate so far.

"You want me to go back?" Yun Lintian asked solemnly.

Gui Xuan nodded. "It's… fine."

Yun Lintian hesitated. Once the ghost king wanted to take action, he had to rely on the protection provided by Lan Qinghe. There were only two times left, and he didn't want to waste them here.

"Alright." Yun Lintian took a deep breath and turned around, heading back into the sea of flames.

Xiao Shou was surprised once more when he saw Yun Lintian return. He took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said. "Your aura is unique. It's no wonder that you can deal with these infernal demons."

Yun Lintian stared at Xiao Shou and asked. "What do you want?"

Xiao Shou chuckled. "What do I want? Of course. Nothing. I just passed by and happened to notice your aura."

He paused briefly and asked. "Is this your first time?"

Yun Lintian didn't respond.

"Among the six paths of reincarnation, the Path of Hell and Demon are the toughest. If you don't mind, we can go together." Xiao Shou said with a smile.
