Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2447: Overwhelming (1)

Yun Lintian spent the entire month recovering his divine energy. During this period, he became familiar with the two sisters, Mu Zhi and Mu Rong. It turned out that they initially joined the Ice Phoenix Sect to avenge their parents, who were killed by a direct disciple of the sect.

Driven by vengeance, Mu Zhi successfully climbed to the top and found a chance to kill her enemy. In the end, she was sent to this place.

Yun Lintian also learned that there were two True Gods he must pay attention to. The first was Wan Jingrou, a former favorite disciple of the Ice Phoenix Empress. It was said that she violated her master’s rules by falling in love.

The second was Ye Fuxie. This person was a disciple of the Eternal Night Empress. He came here to find the legacy of the Ice Phoenix. From Mu Zhi’s words, he was a ruthless person who would kill anyone at will.

Both of them seemed to be residing around the entrance to the northern region. If Yun Lintian wanted to go there, he had to face them.

Yun Lintian turned to look at Mu Zhi and said, “I am leaving.”

Mu Rong, who was playing with Gui Xiao, was startled. The smile on her face faltered.

Mu Zhi raised her brow and asked, “Are you sure you don’t want me to send you there?”

“It’s too dangerous for both of you,” Yun Lintian said in a deep voice. “If I find a way to leave this place, I will come back and take you out.”

Mu Zhi stared at him for a while and nodded slowly. Her fingers moved slightly as she threw a jade slip toward Yun Lintian. “This is a map of this place,” she said.

Yun Lintian looked at the map from the jade slip and discovered that it was carefully marked by Mu Zhi. Clearly, she had spent a lot of effort to draw this map over the years.

“Thank you,” Yun Lintian said and threw two storage rings toward Mu Zhi. “Take these.”

Mu Zhi grabbed the rings and scanned the contents inside briefly. There were various resources inside, enough for her and Mu Rong to live in this place comfortably.

“Thank you,” she said. “Don’t forget what I told you. Try to avoid Wan Jingrou and Ye Fuxie.”

“I will,” Yun Lintian nodded and prepared to leave.

Gui Xiao tilted his head to look at Mu Rong and placed his hand on her palm. A black-green turtle shell appeared on it.

“Give… you,” Gui Xiao said slowly.

Mu Rong held the turtle shell tightly and looked at Gui Xiao with reluctance. “Be careful out there.”

Gui Xiao nodded and jumped onto Yun Lintian’s shoulder. Hei Shou also came over and rested on Yun Lintian’s shoulder.

Yun Lintian took one last glance at Mu Zhi and Mu Rong before walking out of the cave and disappearing into the snowstorm.

“Sister…” Mu Rong said worriedly.

“Don’t worry. He’s far stronger than you think,” Mu Zhi said calmly. “Don’t forget that he defeated the King of Snow Ape.”

Mu Rong opened her mouth, but no words came out.

Mu Zhi turned to look at the snowstorm outside and said, “Maybe we can leave this place soon.”

Yun Lintian stepped out of the cave, the biting wind and swirling snow greeting him like old friends. He pulled his thick furs tighter around him, his breath forming frosty plumes in the frigid air.

He glanced back at the cave entrance, a flicker of warmth in his heart for the two sisters who had sheltered him. Then, with a resolute gaze, he turned towards the north and began his journey.

The snowstorm raged around him, a chaotic dance of wind and ice that obscured his vision and chilled him to the bone. Yun Lintian pressed on, his steps firm and steady. He activated his Eyes of Heaven, piercing through the blinding snow to navigate the treacherous terrain.

He followed the ancient pathways Mu Zhi had described, winding his way through treacherous crevasses and ice-covered valleys. The journey was arduous, the cold relentless.

Roarrr-

As he journeyed deeper into the northern region, he encountered a variety of God Beasts, creatures of immense power and ferocity.

He saw towering Ice Giants, their bodies sculpted from glaciers, their eyes glowing with an icy blue light. He glimpsed majestic Snow Griffins soaring through the blizzard, their wings leaving trails of shimmering ice crystals.

He also sensed the presence of colossal Ice Worms burrowing beneath the frozen earth, their movements creating tremors that shook the ground beneath his feet.

However, none of these creatures paid him any heed. They seemed to sense his strength and they chose to avoid a confrontation.

Yun Lintian was grateful for their indifference, as he had no desire to engage in unnecessary battles. He was conserving his strength for the challenges that lay ahead, the trials that awaited him at Phoenix Lake.

He traveled for days, the landscape a monotonous expanse of white, the only sounds the howling wind and the crunch of his boots on the frozen ground. He relied on his internal compass and Mu Zhi’s map to guide him, his senses alert for any signs of danger.

BOOM!!

Suddenly, a massive explosion occurred in the distance. Yun Lintian saw two figures engaged in an intense battle.

He paused, his eyes narrowing as he observed the clashing figures. Two powerful auras surged against each other, their divine energy rippling through the air like shock waves. The snowstorm seemed to bend around them, their battle creating a vortex of swirling chaos amidst the frozen wasteland.

He recognized the figures from Mu Zhi’s descriptions. One was a woman, her movements graceful yet deadly, her attacks imbued with the chilling power of ice. This was Wan Jingrou, the fallen disciple of the Ice Phoenix Empress.

The other was a man, his aura dark and menacing, his attacks swift and ruthless, carrying the power of shadows and darkness. This was Ye Fuxie, the disciple of the Eternal Night Empress.

Their battle was a spectacle of raw power, a clash of opposing forces that shook the very foundations of the frozen wasteland. Ice and shadow collided, creating explosions of frost and darkness that illuminated the snowstorm with an eerie glow.

The two figures were evenly matched, their powers a perfect counter to each other. Their battle was a stalemate, a dance of death that neither could win.

Yun Lintian observed their exchange. He could see that despite the intensity of their battle, they were holding back, their attacks measured, their true power restrained…
