Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian looked toward the barrier and saw an old woman in a blue robe fly out of it. Judging from her aura, this person’s strength should be at the fourth level of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm.

This surprised Yun Lintian slightly. After all, her strength was one level higher than Xing Tengfei.

The old woman seized Yun Lintian up and down before saying. “How could there be such a young talent? Why I didn’t know before?”

She was genuinely surprised by Yun Lintian’s profound strength and his young age.

When her gaze landed on Linlin and Qingqing, her eyes even more widened. “A Divine beast and a True Spirit?… What’s happening to the outside world?”

Yun Lintian cupped his fists and said. “Greetings, Senior. My name is Yun Lintian. I come here to check on the world’s core.”

He took Xing Tengfei’s token out and said further. “Please take a look at this.”

A strange light flashed through the old man’s eyes when she saw the black token. She stared at Yun Lintian and asked. “Did Xing Tengfei give you this personally?”

Yun Lintian nodded. “Yes.”

“Do you know the meaning of this token?” The old woman asked further.

Yun Lintian shook his head.

Seeing this, the old woman sighed and said. “You are lucky. Today is my turn to guard this place. If you meet other old bastards, I’m afraid your life will end here.”

Yun Lintian’s brows raised slightly. “Could it be this token represented something bad?”

The old woman nodded. “It’s a killing token. We made a deal with Xing Tengfei, Weilan Jian, and Du Shoushan back then. In exchange for us to stay here, we have to kill whoever comes here with this token.”

“You should put it away and go back to where you come from. With your talent, breaking through the Divine Foundation Realm won’t be a problem. You can come back later when the spatial tunnel opens again. I will personally escort you to a place for a breakthrough.”

Yun Lintian was surprised by the old woman’s approach. Not only she had no intention of attacking him according to the agreement between her and Xing Tengfei, but she also let him go back. Why did she do this?

As if she saw through Yun Lintian’s mind, the old woman said. “My name is Tai Yu. You can call me Grandma Yu directly… You might wonder why I did this. It’s simple. Because I cherish your talent.”

“It is very rare that our lowly Azure World can produce a young talent like you. Your future is limitless. Perhaps you could become a prominent figure once you step into the Divine Realm. At that time, maybe I can rely on you.”

“I see. So I can understand that you just want to invest in me?” Yun Lintian nodded in an understanding manner.

“That’s right. You’re not na?ve enough to believe that there’s a free thing in this world, right?” The old woman, Tai Yu, asked with a faint smile.

Yun Lintian raised his head slightly and said. “Then I have to refuse your investment.”

“Oh?” A weird expression appeared on Tai Yu’s face. She asked in doubt. “Are you perhaps thinking you can go against me because you have a divine beast and a true spirit by your side?”

Yun Lintian shook his head and raised his hand slightly. “Let me show you.”

Suddenly, a few golden sword beams shot out of Yun Lintian’s palm and rushed toward Tai Yu. The space along their paths was distorted as if they were cut by incomparably sharp blades.

Tai Yu’s face sank as soon as she saw this. She didn’t expect Yun Lintian’s attack to have such a power comparable to the Divine Foundation Realm’s second level.

Her aura burst forth, and a bizarre white fog immediately appeared around her, completely swallowing her figure into it. ．

BOOOM!

As the sword beams collided with the white fog, a huge explosion immediately burst out. The shocking power spread out, and countless spatial rifts could be seen everywhere.

Yun Lintian’s figure flashed, and he arrived above the white fog with the White Dragon Spear in his hand. A Phoenix flame abruptly erupted from within his body, shrouding his entire being, including the spear.

When he thrust the spear out, the surrounding space trembled violently as if it was about to collapse at any moment.

Inside the white fog, Tai Yu’s face changed drastically. She thought that Yun Lintian’s previous attack was already his limit, but she was wrong. The power emitted from this thrust was even more terrifying!

She didn’t hesitate further and released her profound energy to the limit in one go. The white fog swelled and formed into a pair of giant hands, trying to block the incoming attack.

BOOM!

The Phoenix flame erupted in the vast sea upon touching the white fog, which stretched a hundred kilometers long. It mercilessly swallowed up everything nearby and made a large part of the sea evaporate instantly.

When the flame gradually resided, Tai Yu’s figure could be seen a few meters away from Yun Lintian. Her white hair was disheveled, and half of her blue robe was burned, exposing some burning wounds.

Her current appearance was extremely miserable, entirely different from her aloof looks earlier.

Blood flowed out of the corner of her mouth as she stared at Yun Lintian in shock. “Your strength…”

Yun Lintian spun the spear a few times and brought it back to his side before asking with a faint smile. “Do you still think that you’re superior?”

Tai Yu opened her mouth, and no word came out in the end. She truly had nothing to say.

“I’m really curious. You don’t have to tolerate Xing Tengfei, Weilan Jian, and Du Shoushan at all with your strength. Why would you make a deal with them?” Yun Lintian asked doubtfully.

Tai Yu circulated her profound energy to suppress the injury and replied. “Our individual strength might be superior to theirs, but compared to large factions like them, we are nothing.”

“We are originally a wandering practitioner. Our foundation couldn’t compare to theirs at all. Once they join together to suppress us, we have no way to resist them.”

“Instead of risking our lives, why don’t we solve the problem in peace like this?”
