Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Xia went silent for a long time. She had thought it through and raised her head to look at Hongyue. "Thank you for enlightening me. I fully understand now."

Before Hongyue could say anything, Yun Xia said further. "However, I decided to stay here. Firstly, it is to attract the attention of his enemies, and secondly, I won't be any help if I go with him. With Princess Hongyue by his side, his safety is pretty much guaranteed."

Hongyue frowned slightly and said. "You can see my current appearance. I am nothing but a mere residual soul."

Yun Xia shook her head slightly. "Wait until he returns from the Eastern Continent, and we will talk this out."

Hongyue took a deep look at her and said. "Alright."

She waved her hand, and a pile of bones of the Forsaken God Tribe's man appeared before her. "Help him refine an armor."

Yun Xia's pupils shrank when she saw the bones. She could recognize their identity right away.

Hongyue explained. "Who would have thought that he actually appeared in this world and was discovered by Lintian? Fate is really interesting, right?"

Yun Xia took a deep breath and said solemnly. "Leave it to me."

Hongyue nodded, and her figure blurred and disappeared from the place.

Yun Lintian put away the Gate of Beyond Heaven and said. "Then I will leave the villagers here with you, grandma. With you here, I don't have to worry about their safety."

Yun Xia nodded and said. "I will cover you when you leave. They won't be able to detect your presence."

"Alright." Yun Lintian responded and returned to the hut.

***

The Western Continent that once was a paradise for profound beasts had long been engulfed by the darkness of Abyssal Energy. All the profound beasts, from the lowest to the mightiest, even the powerful beasts from the Nine Profound Beast Palace, went into a complete and utter frenzy.

Killing and fighting could be seen everywhere. Malicious energy and earth-shaking bestial roars cast a terrifying dark shadow over the entire continent. It could be said the continent had completely fallen into Poison Valley's hands.

Inside a magnificent palace of the Sky Qilin Clan, Du Yunlie, who was possessed by Jue Kong, sat on a majestic throne while looking down at a group of people below.

His sharp gaze swept over them and paused on Hongniu Wushang, the third young master of the Crimson Ox Clan.

During the war between the Western Continent and the Poison Valley, Hongniu Wushang played a significant role by attacking from the inside, causing the force of the Sky Qilin, Great Roc, Netherworld Wolf, and Purple-Winged Tiger Clan to fall quickly.

"Tell me the situation." Jue Kong said expressionlessly.

"Reporting to Master Jue. Lang Moxie and Tianqi Junlai are not giving up yet. They'd rather die than submit to you." Hongniu Wushang, who had now become the commander under Jue Kong, said respectfully.

Kneeling beside him were Lang Mo, Pei Xiewen, and Zi Jinghu. When they realized the situation, they quickly surrendered themselves to Jue Kong without hesitation in order to let their clansmen live.

However, Tianqi Junlai and Lang Moxie were different. Although the former wasn't upright, he didn't abandon his pride and was unwilling to submit to Jue Kong, no matter how hard he had been tortured.

As for Lang Moxie, since he witnessed Yun Lintian defeat Jue Kong before, his pride didn't allow him to lower his head to a loser like Jue Kong. He believed that once Yun Lintian returned to this continent, Jue Kong would certainly die for real this time.

Jue Kong's eyes turned cold as he said. "Since that's the case. Just kill them."

Hongniu Wushang hesitated and said cautiously. "Please give me more time, Master. I will definitely convince them… I know that you don't lack a powerful warrior under you. They might be stubborn, but their strength can be useful for your great plan, Master."

"That's right, Master Jue." Zi Jinghu echoed. "They can be dead soldiers for you later."

Jue Kong frowned slightly and said. "Do I need you to teach me what to do?"

As he spoke, the entire hall was enveloped by terrifying pressure, causing Hongniu Wushang and the others to break into a cold sweat.

"Please calm down. We didn't mean to teach you what to do, Master. We just see that they are, after all, Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm powerhouses. It would be a pity for them to die pointlessly." Hongniu Wushang hurriedly said.

Seeing that Jue Kong was saying nothing, Hongniu Wushang said further. "The enemy we are about to face is the entire world. I don't know how many experts are under Master, but I know the enemy's number. Even though many of them had left along with Longevity Monarch, there are more than forty such a powerhouse out there."

He took a deep breath and said with a serious expression. "With Tianqi Junlai and Lang Moxie taking the lead, all the clansmen under them will definitely follow obediently."

Lang Mo quickly added. "Yes, Master Jue. I have to admit that I am incompetent compared to my father. My clansmen don't listen to me at all. They'd rather die with my father."

Jue Kong said after a short moment of silence. "I will give you half a year. If they are still stubborn, just kill them."

"Thank you, Master." Hongniu Wushang and the others quickly said.

Jue Kong was about to say something further, but he suddenly received a piece of news.

"Our lord is about to come out." A cold female voice resounded in his mind.

Jue Kong was surprised and responded. "How long?"

"Two years at most." The female voice echoed.

A strange light flashed through Jue Kong's eyes as he seemed to think of something. He turned to Hongniu Wushang and asked. "How's the preparation?"

Hongniu Wushang was slightly puzzled as he replied. "It will take another year to complete, Master."

"I don't care how you do it, but you must complete it within half a year. Understand?" Jue Kong said coldly.

Hongniu Wushang's expression turned unsightly, but he still replied obediently. "Yes, Master."

Jue Kong didn't care about him. He stood up and disappeared from the place, leaving Hongniu Wushang and the others to look at each other in regret… If they had known that they would fall into this situation where they were no different from slaves, they wouldn't collude with Poison Valley from the beginning.
