Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1755 Prelude of Darkness (4)

“Heh. It’s quite lively here.” Master Bai stood on a wooden table and gazed at the starry sky above. Obviously, there were many people hiding in the void and currently watching them.

Yun Lintian didn’t even look at them. He continued to feed Linlin and Qingqing snacks while saying. “At this rate, I don’t think the Divine Realm can be united when the Primordial God Tribe returns.”

“We have to defeat Ren Yuan first before we can do that,” Hongyue spoke calmly. “I have been checking his record recently, and it appears he hasn’t moved much over the past thousands of years. I don’t know what kind of grand plan he is brewing.”

“He allows those devils to come over but also suppresses them. This is strange.” Master Bai added.

None of the seven Great Devils appeared in the Divine Realm during this period. It was proven that they had reached an agreement with the Heavenly Desolate God Emperor. As for the agreement’s details, Master Bai couldn’t think of anything at the moment.

It could be said that Ren Yuan’s actions were both detrimental and safeguarding to the Divine Realm.

Hongyue and Master Bai were well aware that it was impossible for Ren Yuan to care about the Divine Realm for no reason. After all, he had always been a person who sought his own benefits. The only explanation was that the Divine Realm was still valuable for him… But how?

Yun Lintian frowned slightly. He had never come into contact with Ren Yuan, so it was difficult for him to make a judgment. However, he believed that whatever plans Ren Yuan was brewing, he must be one of the factors involved in them. Otherwise, Ren Yuan would have done everything to eliminate him long ago.

Yun Lintian didn’t like the uncomfortable feeling of being a pawn in someone’s hands, but there was nothing he could do at the moment.

Meanwhile, Jin Long and Xian An calmly glanced at each other. They had learned a few things about the history of the Divine Realm and were naturally aware of Ren Yuan.

“I really want to see the Primordial God Artifact.” Xian An spoke. “It’s quite unbelievable that it has existed up to this date. What even surprised me more is that it’s actually being used by a mortal.”

She looked at Hongyue and asked. “How did he obtain it?”

“Who knows?” Hongyue responded casually.

“No wonder all of you were defeated by him.” Xian An pursed her lips.

Hongyue frowned slightly but didn’t say anything. She didn’t like the vibe Xian An gave her the first time they met. There was no reason for it.

Everyone fell silent and continued to gaze at the endless scenery.

The Fleeting Cloud Profound Ark shuttled through the starry sky, resembling a white streak shooting across space. Its speed was not inferior to the Eclipse Ark, the fastest profound ark in the Divine Realm.

A few hours later, the profound ark slowly approached the Devil Valley.

Yun Lintian looked around with a frown. The dark aura in this place was countless times more intense than any place he had ever been to. It had reached a point where staying here could kill any low-level practitioners.

Yun Lintian raised his hand and released a radiant burst of divine energy, enveloping the entire profound ark.

“It has become scarier.” Master Bai frowned deeply. The dark aura was much stronger than during his last visit. Evidently, there was something wrong here.

“Strange. There is no one here?” Xian An looked around briefly but found nothing except for the endless darkness.

Yun Lintian slowed the profound ark down and proceeded with caution. The deeper they moved, the stronger the dark energy became. However, it wasn’t growing nearly as quickly as they had imagined.

After half an hour, Yun Lintian finally decided to stop. No light, sound, or even matter existed in this place. This eerie atmosphere could easily drive people to madness.

Yun Lintian made sure he had arrived at the correct location. According to the map, Devil Valley should be right in front of him now, but he didn’t see anything.

Xian An raised her finger, and a ball of light shot into the sky. However, the ball of light was no different than a tiny firefly in the night sky. It couldn’t illuminate the area.

Xian An was surprised as she spoke. “This is the absolute darkness formed from the purest dark element.”

“Let me try.” Master Bai spoke and raised his wing.

“Don’t waste your energy.” Yun Lintian quickly stopped him and said. “Now I understand why that person told me to find the Light Pole first.”

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and a streak of white light shot into the darkness above before exploding. It was like a firework in the dark night, the surrounding space was immediately illuminated.

At that moment, everyone’s expressions changed drastically when they saw numerous figures surrounding them. Each one of them was pitch-black, blending seamlessly into the surrounding darkness. It was extremely difficult to see their features clearly, even with the help of the light.

Suddenly, a tall figure emerged from the group, moving closer to the light. This person was an elderly man with long, white hair. His body exuded a formidable aura, causing Yun Lintian’s expression to become solemn.

“Welcome to our humble abode, the Beyond Heaven King’s successor.” The old man spoke calmly. “My name is Yao Jie. I am a butler of the Yao Clan.”

Yun Lintian furrowed his brows tightly. He didn’t know what kind of trick this old man was playing.

“This old man… The early level Lesser God… How could he appear in this desolate place?” Xian An said with a rare serious expression.

The aura of the Divine Realm was much weaker compared to the Nine Heavens Realm or Lan Qinghe’s abode. It was the reason why no one here could break through into the Lesser God Realm.

Xian An was certain a lesser god couldn’t appear in this inferior environment. Unless… this old man was a lesser god before arriving here.

“It’s you.” Master Bai looked at Yao Jie in surprise. He had met this person before during his previous visit.

“We met again.” Yao Jie looked at Master Bai with a smile.

“What do you want?” Master Bai asked.

“Our master would like to invite everyone to have a conversation with him.” Yao Jie said.
