Myth Beyond Heaven

Jiang Shuren stepped forward and crouched down, thoughtfully examining the bones and bloodstains on the floor. “These people were at least Divine Sovereigns during their lifetime.” There were also some Divine Emperors among them. Judging from the way their skulls shattered, it is likely that they died instantly from a single blow… What could have possibly killed them so quickly?”

One had to know that even a God Emperor was not necessarily able to kill a Divine Emperor in a single shot, no matter how careless the Divine Emperor was. However, the owners of these bones were obviously killed without even putting up a defense, and they were possibly killed all at once.

Meanwhile, Kong Xun frowned deeply as he scanned his surroundings. Through his divine senses, there was nothing else but piles of bones everywhere. This place resembled a graveyard rather than a battlefield.

“The atmosphere here is strange.” Yu Zhilan suddenly said.

“Indeed.” Kong Xun nodded in agreement. “I always believed that the Primordial God Forsaken Land had the most ancient aura of all, but this place seems to exist before the beginning of the Primordial Era.”

Jiang Shuren picked up a piece of bone and said. “Have you ever seen these runes before?”

Kong Xun and the others turned to look at the bone in Jiang Shuren’s hand and frowned deeply. Especially Kong Xun, who was well-versed in ancient runes. He completely failed to recognize it.

“When we fought those people from the Primordial God Tribe, the runes they used were not as complicated as these ones.” Jiang Shuren said in a deep voice. “I suspected that they came from other universes.”

Kong Xun and Yu Zhilan frowned deeply upon hearing this. Both of them had never gone out of the Divine Realm to explore the outside world before, but there were others who went out and managed to return with information.

According to these people, there were other places like the Divine Realm out there and most of them were as powerful as the Divine Realm. Some of them were even more powerful. The Primordial God Tribe was the prime example.

If these bones on the ground belonged to the outsiders, it would imply that the Sea of the Stars had reached beyond the Divine Realm and the Great Devil Realm. This also suggested that they would encounter adversaries from other realms here.

The expressions of Jiang Shuren, Kong Xun, and Yu Zhilan immediately turned solemn upon realizing this.

While everyone was discussing, Yun Lintian carefully scanned the surroundings through the Eyes of Heaven and soon discovered various lingering auras in the area. Some of them were the familiar dark auras, while others were ancient auras he had never seen before.

Boom!! 𝒆𝙣𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝙚𝙩

Suddenly, an earth-shaking explosion rang out from three different directions. Afterward, a dark aura surged toward the sky. It felt incredibly gloomy and sinister, sending chills down the spines of Yun Lintian and the others.

“Jie.. HAHAHA!! Another fresh meat has finally been delivered to my doorstep!” Wild laughter suddenly echoed in the ears of Jiang Shuren and the others, causing them to tremble.

This was human speech, but no one would believe that it had been uttered by a human because the voice was extremely hoarse, like metal scraping against metal. It sounded so dark and sinister that it resembled the low and terrifying moan made by evil spirits.

At the same time, a dark figure materialized out of thin air. The figure was hunched over and withered. Its exposed skin was as ashen as a corpse, and it seemed to be tightly wrapped around its shrunken bones. Its four limbs were even more thin and withered than the branches of a truly dead tree… In short, this figure barely had any characteristics of a living human.

The figure’s pair of bloodshot eyes stared greedily at Jiang Shuren and Yu Zhilan, while its long and withered tongue slowly licked its lips. “Two tender meats. I am lucky today.”

Jiang Shuren felt a wave of nausea just by looking at the figure that appeared to be a male corpse. At the same time, the aura of this man was far more terrifying than his appearance and voice. It was as vast and boundless as the ocean, radiating a dark and oppressive might that weighed as heavily as ten thousand mountains.

“Peak Divine Emperors? Hehehe. This truly disappoints this old ghost.” The man said. He simply ignored Yun Lintian because he was too weak to be considered significant.

“Be careful. His aura is at least on the level of a God Emperor.” Jiang Shuren discreetly touched the Four Rivers Mirror hidden in her sleeve as she sent a sound transmission to everyone. She was prepared to activate it at any moment.

Kong Xun’s brows knitted tightly together as he appeared to be familiar with the man’s aura. “Are you the Bone Withering Demon, Lou De?”

“Oh? You know me?” The man, Lou De, looked at Kong Xun in surprise. “This aura… So you’re a lackey of Kong Juhai?”

The expressions of Kong Xun, Jiang Shuren, and Yu Zhilan changed dramatically when they heard this. The Bone Withering Demon was a notorious figure who wreaked havoc in the Divine Realm over a hundred thousand years ago. In the past, many God Emperors had joined forces to capture him several times but failed… How could he still be alive here?

Moreover, the Kong Juhai in his words was the former Shrouding Sky God Emperor who had reached the end of his lifespan over forty thousand years ago. They had fought each other before. Hence, the identity of Lou De was pretty much confirmed.

“I’ll hold him back. All of you should run quickly.” Kong Xun said through a voice transmission. Even his previous master couldn’t defeat Lou De, the three of them here were even more powerless. The only way out for them was to sacrifice someone and let the others escape.

Jiang Shuren took a deep look at Kong Xun, preparing to grab Yun Lintian and make a run for it.

However, Lou De suddenly said. “Are you thinking of running? Hehehe. How cute.”

The hearts of Jiang Shuren, Kong Xun, and Yu Zhilan immediately sank.

“Go!!” Kong Xun suddenly roared and released his power, forming a golden barrier around Lou De.

At the same time, Jiang Shuren and Yu Zhilan grabbed Yun Lintian and rushed out!

A playful smile appeared on Lou De’s weathered lip. “Let’s play a little game then.”
