Myth Beyond Heaven

“You…” Gong Su was thrown into the blinding light ahead, and his body was instantly incinerated before he could even utter a scream. This scene stunned Yun Lintian and the others behind him.

“The light energy in there can eliminate the Law of Death within our bodies, but it is too powerful. We won’t be able to withstand it.” Wan Mu explained.

He had considered borrowing the power of the light energy in this place to break the curse, but he was clueless about how to approach it since getting close to it was impossible for him.

Yun Lintian approached the bright area and extended his hand into it. Immediately, the surrounding light energy surged towards him and spun around his arm, as if it was welcoming him.

Yan Yin and Wan Mu glanced at each other in surprise, and a bold idea suddenly emerged in their minds.

On the side, Jiang Shuren, Yu Zhilan, and Kong Xun were preparing to take action at any moment, as long as Yan Yin and Wan Mu made a move. Without a doubt, these two must have figured out Yun Lintian’s identity by now.

Yun Lintian retracted his hand and looked thoughtfully at the silhouette of the tower in the distance. He could feel the connection between him and the Light Pole becoming stronger, as if it were urging him to hurry over.

Yun Lintian turned around and said. “I’ll go first. I hope you abide by our agreement.”

Yan Yin took a deep look at Yun Lintian and asked. “So, you’re not a descendant of the White Tiger God Clan, but rather the successor of the Beyond Heaven King?”

Yun Lintian was slightly surprised, but soon understood that he had accidentally revealed his flaw earlier.

He waved his hand and returned to his original appearance. “I am indeed his successor.”

Although Yan Yin and Wan Mu had anticipated this, they were still taken aback by the revelation.

Shui Fang looked at Yun Lintian in shock. “Brother Ye, you actually…”

Yun Lintian looked at him and said. “Please forgive me. I have a reason for doing this. And my actual name is Yun Lintian.”

Shui Fang came back to his senses and waved his hand. “No, I completely understand it.” ．𝚌ｏｍ

He knew that Yun Lintian’s background wasn’t ordinary, but it had once again exceeded his imagination. Who would have thought that a friend he casually made was actually a big shot?

“No wonder you have found a way to deal with the curse.” Wan Mu muttered under his breath.

“I’m a bit curious about this.” Yun Lintian turned to Wan Mu and asked. “Since Senior had met the Beyond Heaven King in the past, why wouldn’t you ask him for help?”

“He didn’t become like this at that time.” Yan Yin took the initiative to answer.

Wan Mu sighed and began to explain. “I had entered the tower with him, but ultimately failed to pass the trial inside. Even with his power, it was impossible for him to take me away. As time passed, I began to explore different options for escaping from this place. Unfortunately, I ended up dead and became like this.”

He paused briefly and said. “Remember. You have only one chance to enter the tower. If you fail, you will have to stay here forever, just like us.”

Yun Lintian and the others were stunned and began to worry. What if they couldn’t make it? Would they have to become a zombie like Wan Mu?

“All of you are worrying too much. As long as he is the successor of the Beyond Heaven King, he should easily pass the trials within the tower.” Yan Yin glanced at everyone and said.

At first, Yan Yin made a deal with Yun Lintian with a fluke mentality, but things have changed completely now. He was confident that Yun Lintian would eventually succeed in passing the trials.

Why was that? The answer was simple. It was because the light pillar at the top of the tower was a treasure left behind by the Beyond Heaven King. He must do everything to ensure that his successor can pass the trials to obtain it.

Yan Yin became excited when thinking about this. He seemed to envision a future where the curse within his body had been lifted, freeing him from this desolate place.

“By the way, Senior. You mentioned that four people had successfully left this place. As far as we know, there were only three. The Beyond Heaven King, Goddess Yao Xi, and the Everlasting Soul God Emperor. Who was the fourth person?” Jiang Shuren looked at Yan Yin and asked.

“She wasn’t someone from the Divine Realm or the Great Devil Realm.” Yan Yin said with a solemn expression. “This person was ridiculously strong, on par with or even stronger than the Beyond Heaven King. She called herself the Divine Empress.”

“I was defeated by her in just two moves. And even Gong Su couldn’t last more than five moves against her. Furthermore, she appeared to know about everything regarding this place. Every trap here was essentially dismantled by her. Including the Nine Heaven Staircase below.”

He suddenly had a thought and continued speaking. “Right. What I find ridiculous is that every item she discarded was so powerful. I remember that I had to escape from the spoon she threw away.”

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. What kind of existence was that?

At that moment, Kong Xun suddenly remembered something and pulled out the worn-out pants.

The moment he took them out, Yan Yi’s expression changed drastically, and he yelped. “F*ck! Throw it away!”

Everyone turned to look at the pants in Kong Xun’s hand in astonishment.

“Could these pants belong to her?” Kong Xun asked.

“Who else!?” Yan Yin stared at the pants vigilantly, as if he were looking at a mortal enemy. “Where did you get it?”

“I got it from the staircase as a reward.” Kong Xun replied.

Yan Yin was taken aback and muttered to himself. “I didn’t expect that she was such a pervert.”

“Well, anyway. Take it away.” He said.

Kong Xun nodded and put the pants away.

“Divine Empress…” Jiang Shuren murmured. Although she was aware that there were many other practitioners outside the Divine Realm who were as strong as the Beyond Heaven King, she couldn’t help but be amazed by the Divine Empress’ strength. Especially the bizarre item, like the pants. How could she do that?

Yun Lintian frowned slightly and shook his head, putting this matter aside. He looked at everyone and said. “I’ll be going now.”
