Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2374: The Primordial Sun God (1)

The guards stiffened. “What nonsense are you spouting!?” one of them barked, his voice laced with both fear and bravado. “True God Xuanming is invincible! You dare disrespect him?”

Yun Lintian didn’t bother explaining. He simply raised his hand, and a miniature sun, a blazing orb of concentrated power, materialized above his palm. The air shimmered with heat, and the guards instinctively recoiled, their faces pale with terror.

“I’ll give you one chance,” Yun Lintian said, his voice calm but laced with undeniable authority. “Where is Ouyang Feng?”

The guards exchanged panicked glances. They were no fools; the sheer power emanating from Yun Lintian was beyond anything they had ever encountered.

One of them, trembling, pointed towards the palace. “He… he’s inside.”

He didn’t need to finish the sentence. Yun Lintian understood. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the guards, sending them flying backward with a gentle force that nonetheless left them unconscious.

He turned to Master Bai and the others. “Stay here. I’ll handle this.”

Before they could protest, he vanished, leaving behind only a faint golden shimmer in the air. He reappeared within the palace walls, his senses alert for any sign of danger.

The palace was eerily silent. The opulent halls, adorned with gold and jade, were deserted. A heavy sense of dread hung in the air, a stark contrast to the vibrant landscape outside.

Yun Lintian followed the faint traces of Ouyang Feng’s aura, his footsteps echoing through the empty corridors. He soon arrived at a set of grand double doors, intricately carved with scenes of mythical beasts. A faint moaning sound emanated from within.

He pushed the doors open, and the sight that greeted him made his blood run cold.

The room was a chamber of horrors. Numerous figures-men and women, young and old- were chained to the walls, their bodies bearing the gruesome marks of torture. Alchemists, their faces twisted with cruel delight, hovered over them, conducting their vile experiments. Yun Lintian’s eyes fell upon Ouyang Feng, who was strapped to a stone table in the center of the room. His body was covered in wounds, his breathing shallow and labored. An alchemist, his face hidden behind a grotesque mask, was preparing to inject him with a glowing green liquid.

“Hmm?” one of the alchemists noticed Yun Lintian’s presence. “Who are you? You have no right to be here.”

Yun Lintian didn’t deign to respond. He raised his hand, and a miniature sun materialized above his palm, its flames burning with righteous fury. The moment he saw this scene, he had already given everyone a death sentence.

“This power…” The alchemists, realizing the danger, scrambled to defend themselves. They threw up protective barriers, summoned their artifacts, and unleashed a barrage of alchemical attacks.

However, their effort was futile. The miniature sun, fueled by Yun Lintian’s rage and the power of the Primordial Sun God, was an unstoppable force. It crashed into the alchemists, its fiery energy incinerating them in an instant.

Their screams echoed through the chamber, quickly silenced as they turned to ash. The room was engulfed in blinding light, the heat so intense that the very walls began to melt.

When the light subsided, the alchemists were gone, reduced to nothing but dust and cinders. The chamber was a scene of utter devastation, the air thick with the smell of burnt flesh and scorched stone.

Yun Lintian turned his attention to Ouyang Feng, who was staring at him with wide, disbelieving eyes. He walked over to the stone table and gently removed the restraints, his touch surprisingly gentle.

“Are you alright?” he asked, his voice softening.

Ouyang Feng coughed, a spasm of pain racking his body. “I… I will live,” he managed to say, his voice weak.

He glanced sideways and added, “P… Please help them.”

Yun Lintian waved his hand, and several verdant vines appeared from his body, wrapping around the victims. Wood energy poured into their bodies, rapidly healing their wounds.

“Brother Feng!” Gong Yuxiao and Zhu Jiuxin exclaimed and rushed over. The moment Yun Lintian released his power, they had come without hesitation.

Ouyang Feng looked at the tearful beauties with guilt. Fortunately, they were safe and sound. Otherwise, he would never have forgiven himself.

“I’m fine. Sorry for making you worry,” he said apologetically.

“Thank goodness you’re fine.” Zhu Jiuxin stepped forward and hugged him. Tears continued to fall from her eyes-tears of gratitude and relief.

“Thank you, Young Master Yun,” Gong Yuxiao bowed deeply.

Yun Lintian retracted the vines and said, “It’s nothing. Let’s leave this place first.”

He swept his spiritual sense over the entire palace and waved his hand, bringing all the prisoners over and healing them. Afterward, he opened the Gate of Beyond Heaven and brought everyone to Nine Firmament City.

“It’s been a while…” Master Bai looked at the familiar environment with relief. However, when his gaze landed on Jin Huian, his entire body stiffened.

“Heh. You’re still alive?” Jin Huian sneered mockingly.

Master Bai was embarrassed and could only bury himself in Yun Lintian’s hair.

“Come here,” Jin Huian said calmly, but it felt like a voice from hell to Master Bai.

However, Master Bai could not resist. He obediently flapped his wings and flew towards Jin Huian.

“W… Wife,” he stammered.

Pa!

“Who is your wife?” Jin Huian slapped his head and dragged him away.

“No, wife! Please be gentler! Ouch!” Master Bai’s scream echoed throughout the space as he disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Yun Lintian chuckled and shook his head in amusement. He was about to say something when he saw Hua Wanru and Yang Mengli staring at Yang Chen resentfully.

Yun Lintian sighed and patted Yang Chen’s shoulder. “Good luck, Brother Yang.”

Yang Chen smiled wryly and walked towards the two women with difficulty.

Yun Lintian could only pray for his brother. After handing the victims to Yun Ruanyu, he turned to Ouyang Feng and the two women. “Follow me.”

He led them to a private room inside the tower and provided them with spirit tea before asking, “How did you awaken the Primordial Sun God’s power?” free𝑤ebnovel.com

Ouyang Feng took a sip of tea and let out a long breath. “To tell you the truth, I didn’t know either. Upon returning to my hometown, I suddenly discovered something strange, and it led me to a hidden chamber inside the volcano.”

“Before I could react, the sun orb immediately rushed into my body and gave me the power. Unfortunately, I could only control ten percent of it.”
