Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1152 Undercurrent (1)



Jue Kong appeared in a dark space somewhere in the Endless Sea with injuries all over his body. He turned back into a human form and looked at the wounds angrily.

Until now, he didn’t understand how a few droplets of water from Tao Kang could hurt him. It was as if his defense didn’t exist.

“My Lord, except for the Azure Ancient City, our people have successfully destroyed all the targets and retreated safely.” A black figure suddenly appeared and knelt one knee before Jue Kong.

Jue Kong suppressed the anger and said. “What about the others?”

The black figure quickly replied. “We have smoothly sent our people to the places without them noticing. They will lay dormant and wait for the Supreme Lord’s return.”

“Very good.” Jue Kong nodded in satisfaction. He waved his hand and said. “Bring my food over. I need to recuperate.”

“Yes, My Lord.” The black figure disappeared briefly before returning with a group of people. Obviously, these people were humans that they had recently captured.

When they saw Jue Kong, their faces turned pale and filled with fear. However, before they could even utter a sound, Jue Kong suddenly opened his mouth, and all of them were sucked dried, turning into a bag of bones instantly.

Jue Kong frowned slightly as the wounds on his body were recovering slowly. This speed was too slow.

He looked at the black figure and said. “Bring me more.”

“Yes.” The black figure went away and came back with another five hundred people.

This time, Jue Kong’s wounds recovered more than fifty percent, but it was still too slow in his eyes.

His face turned cold as he muttered to himself. “That bastard… I remember you.”

He got up from the ground and said to the black figure. “You take care of this place. I will go to the Chaotic Sea Region.”

“Leave it to me, My Lord.” The black figure bowed respectfully and calmly watched Jue Kong disappear from the place.

“We are here.” Yun Lingwei slowly stopped the skyship above the Divine Phoenix Palace and shouted to Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian walked to the deck with everyone and prepared to jump down. However, Shen Mingjun suddenly said. “We will wait here.”

He knew that it might be involved some secrets, and it was inappropriate to stay with them. Hence, he and his wife chose to stay on the skyship instead.

Yun Lintian had no objection and said. “Alright, Uncle Shen, Aunty Qin. We will be right back.”

Afterward, he jumped down with everyone under Nantian Xiulan’s lead.

“We greet Second Ancestor and Palace Master.” Upon arriving at the main hall, the guards quickly saluted.

“Where is the person?” Nantian Xuanyu asked.

“He is in the guest room. However, he’s still unconscious.” One of the guards replied.

“Alright. You can leave.” Nantian Xuanyu nodded and let the guards leave while bringing everyone to the guest room.

When Yun Lintian and the others arrived, they saw a peerless woman in red sitting leisurely in the room. She was naturally the Divine Phoenix.

“Lord Divine Phoenix.” Nantian Xuanyu and Nantian Xiulan quickly bowed their heads toward her.

Meanwhile, Yan Yaoting and the others looked at her in surprise. They had heard about the Divine Phoenix’s legend, but this was the first time they had seen her in person.

Divine Phoenix didn’t reply. She looked at Yun Lintian and curled her lips. “Your strength has improved again. Not bad… However, it seems my bloodline didn’t improve at all. Do you want me to teach you personally?”

Yun Lintian replied coldly. “No need.”

“Oh? You still hold the grudge back then? How cute.” Divine Phoenix chuckled.

She looked at Nantian Xiulan and said. “Bring these unrelated people out.”

Yun Lintian frowned slightly upon hearing this. He then told Yun Qianxue and the others to go out first, leaving him, Linlin, Qingqing, Yan Yaoting, and Nantian Fengyu behind.

Divine Phoenix glanced at Yan Yaoting and said. “Blazing Sun Palace? What’s the relationship between you and him?”

Yan Yaoting hurriedly saluted. “Junior Yan Yaoting greets Lord Divine Phoenix.”

He glanced at the unconscious Yang Chen and said. “To tell you the truth, he’s my half-disciple.” .𝘯𝘵

“Oh?” Divine Phoenix was surprised. “Do you know that he was possessed by Fire Devil?”

Yan Yaoting nodded solemnly. “I am aware of it, but I have no ability to get rid of it.”

“So you merely want the inheritance inside his body?” Divine Phoenix said calmly.

“Yes.” Yan Yaoting admitted honestly.

She looked at him for a moment and said. “Your talent is not enough. At least your physique is far inferior to his. Moreover, the inheritance he inherits is special. You won’t be able to take it away.”

Yan Yaoting was surprised to hear this. Truthfully, he had no idea about this point. He always thought that it could be taken away.

“If you want your Blazing Sun Palace to continue, you better nurture him as a successor from now on.” Divine Phoenix said and turned to Yun Lintian.

“It’s your turn to save your friend.” Divine Phoenix said and took a sip of wine.

Yun Lintian ignored her and walked to Yang Chen. With a glance, he could see his injury was not light. Obviously, it was caused by the Divine Phoenix flame. This made him glance at the Divine Phoenix.

“Don’t look at me like that. I don’t know that he’s your friend.” Divine Phoenix spread her arms innocently. “You should thank me instead that I held my hand back. Otherwise, you could only see his ashes by now.”

Yun Lintian rolled his eyes and turned back to Yang Chen. He slowly took the mask off the latter’s face and was surprised to see half of Yang Chen’s face was filled with ugly burning scars.

“It has nothing to do with me.” Divine Phoenix spoke first. In case Yun Lintian blamed her.

Yun Lintian grabbed Yang Chen’s wrist, and several vines immediately shot out of his body, wrapping around the latter’s entire body. He then injected the wood energy into him.

However, he soon discovered the scars on Yang Chen’s face didn’t recover in the slightest, as well as the injury on his soul.

Divine Phoenix seemed to see through his thought. She explained. “That Fire Devil left a fire poison in his soul so that he would never recover. It had been preparing this big gift for you.”

She glanced at Yun Lintian and asked. “What did you do to it to make it hold a deep hatred toward you?”
