Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1686 Emergence Of Ancient Beasts (1)

Yun Lintian chose to return along the same path he had taken previously. Along the way, he could sense that the surrounding atmosphere wasn’t quite right. It seemed to be enveloped in layers of gloom that he couldn’t explain.

“Strange.” Yun Lintian muttered. “Has the Divine Realm been invaded by devils recently?”

Master Bai glanced expressionlessly at the gloomy aura lingering in the air. He could immediately recognize that this aura belonged to ancient beasts. It was several times more powerful and intense than the ancient beasts in the Chaotic Sea Region. It was normal for Yun Lintian to not recognize it.

“Hmm?” Suddenly, Yun Lintian’s sight was met with a broken ship. The ship was so seriously damaged that it could shatter at any moment. On the ship, there was a group of people who appeared to be severely injured.

When these people noticed Yun Lintian’s profound ark, they immediately became vigilant.

Yun Lintian piloted the profound ark towards them and halted at a suitable distance. He gazed at them and immediately frowned upon noticing a lingering dark aura surrounding their bodies.

“What do you want?” A young man on the ship mustered his courage and asked cautiously. He gripped a broken sword tightly, ready to attack at any moment.

Yun Lintian waved his hand and threw a few jade bottles toward them. “There are healing pills inside. All of you can take them first. I just want to know what happened. Did you encounter any devils?”

The young man grabbed all the bottles and briefly examined their contents. He hesitated for a moment, then handed them to his comrades. “There shouldn’t be any poison.”

The others glanced at each other hesitantly before taking the pills. A moment later, their injuries gradually recovered, and the dark aura inside their bodies also dissipated bit by bit.

The young man heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed the change in his body. He looked at Yun Lintian and bowed respectfully. “Thank you, Senior, for helping us. We did indeed encounter a group of devils.”

Yun Lintian frowned slightly. “How many devils are there? And what were those upper realms doing? Why didn’t they come out to deal with it?”

The young man smiled wryly. “Everyone can’t even help themselves right now. How could they have time to care about others? As for the devils, they are not devils from other realms but rather a horde of devilish beasts.”

“Beasts?” Yun Lintian was stunned. “Where did they come from?”

“We don’t know. They seemed to appear out of thin air.” The young man shook his head. “Our realm has been destroyed by them, and we are the only ones who managed to escape in time. We are planning to seek refuge in an upper realm.”

“They could destroy your realm?” Yun Lintian was surprised.

“Yes. They are at least at the Divine Sovereign level. All of them.” The young man said with a lingering fear in his voice. “There are also some divine emperors among them.”

The young man hesitated briefly and then continued speaking. “There is a rumor circulating at the moment. It said that these creatures emerged from a location known as Devil Valley.”

Yun Lintian was shocked upon hearing this. He turned to Yue Chuntao and noticed that she was relatively calm.

“You know about this?” He asked.

“Yes.” Yue Chuntao admitted. “Grandma Hua told me to hide it from you because it would distract you.”

Yun Lintian furrowed his brow. He wasn’t angry with Yue Hua because he could understand her intention, but he was worried about Lin Xinyao and the others. The timing was completely messed up at this point. This meant they couldn’t practice in peace as they had intended.

“Here. Take this to repair your ship. Good luck.” Yun Lintian threw a storage ring to the young man and quickly piloted the profound ark away at top speed.

The young man looked in shock at the piles of materials inside the ring. He had never seen such a vast amount of resources in his entire life.

He looked at the profound ark disappearing from sight and muttered. “Who is he?”

Yun Lintian rushed back to the Moon God Realm at full speed. On the way, he could see signs of destruction everywhere. Many lower realms were reduced to scattered dust, while some middle realms were left in a state of devastation.

“Where are those beasts?” Yun Lintian frowned deeply as he didn’t see a single beast in sight.

Yue Chuntao was also surprised. “Perhaps they are being forced to retreat?”

“Ridiculous. How could those ancient beasts be easily forced to retreat?” Master Bai sneered. “They have been imprisoned for who knows how many years. It’s impossible for them to pass up an opportunity to vent their anger and resentment.”

Yun Lintian quickly asked. “You seem to know them well. Did they come out before?”

“No. They have never come out. We went in.” Master Bai replied calmly.

“How did you get in?” Yun Lintian was taken aback. As far as he knew, the barrier was so special that no one could pass through.

Suddenly, Yun Lintian thought of something and slapped his forehead. “That’s right. The Beyond Heaven King could definitely go in. Otherwise, how could he leave the Dark Pearl behind?”

He asked further. “Why didn’t he just kill all of them?”

“How else could he nurture the Dark Pearl if he were to kill them all?” Master Bai rolled his eyes. “I can tell you that there are at least ten god emperors and fifty peak Divine Emperors among them. There are also over two hundred divine emperors and a thousand divine sovereigns.”

Yun Lintian’s eyes widened in disbelief. Yue Chuntao was the same.

“This… It’s too exaggerated.” Yun Lintian couldn’t believe it.

“And this happened more than forty thousand years ago. I don’t know how strong they have become now.” Master Bai said with a rare solemn expression.

Yun Lintian and Yue Chuntao glanced at each other in astonishment. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍．𝒆𝒕

Yun Lintian took a deep breath and asked. “I heard that it was the former dwelling of a primordial devil god. Is it true?”

“Yes. There is a trace of the aura from the Primordial Era inside that place. However, we didn’t see anything about the alleged primordial devil god. It should have died a long time ago.” Master Bai answered.

Yun Lintian felt a sense of relief upon hearing this. At least, there wasn’t an existence above a god emperor. There was still a chance to handle this catastrophe.

Roar—

All of a sudden, a terrifying cry of a beast could be heard from a distance ahead. When Yun Lintian looked over, he saw five strange beasts as black as ink chasing after a group of people…
