Myth Beyond Heaven

"Tell me where he is now?" The old man hurriedly asked.

Hearing this, Xing Chen took a deep breath and said. "He's currently on the first floor of this place."

At the same time, a look of doubt emerged in the depths of Xing Chen's eyes. How could the old man not know Yun Lintian's position if he owned this place?

"Oh? He's here?" The old man said in surprise, and his aura quickly spread out, causing Xing Chen and Lan Cao to tremble.

A moment later, he said. "I see. He's on the way here."

He looked at Xing Chen and Lan Cao and asked. "How did you know him?"

The expressions of Lan Can and Xing Chen froze when they heard this. If Yun Lintian was the old man's successor, wouldn't he kill them here?

"Don't tell me you are his enemy?" The old man asked coldly.

Lan Cao's heart tightened, and he inadvertently glanced at Xing Chen as if he was asking for help.

Xing Chen's eyes flickered slightly as he said. "We are indeed his enemy."

The surrounding temperature fell, and the entire space suddenly pressed down on the two.

"Hehehe. What a wonderful fate! This king didn't expect to see my successor's enemy here." The old man said with laughter, but his entire body exuded a murderous aura.

Xing Chen and Lan Cao were immediately stumbled backward by the sudden burst of aura. Their expressions instantly turned white as a sheet, and they almost vomited blood.

Xing Chen forcibly suppressed the inner fear and said through his teeth. "Are you going to kill us?… Heh! In the end, your successor is nothing. The last time he was protected by a woman and his master this time."

Lan Cao looked at Xing Chen in shock. He didn't expect him to taunt the old man like this. However, according to his understanding of Xing Chen, he wasn't impulsive. Perhaps this was his plan.

"Killing you? Hahaha!" The old man burst into laughter. "Throughout this king's life, I don't even bother to kill an ant. Let alone a speck of dust like you two. You overestimated yourself."

He paused briefly and asked. "You said he was protected by a woman? Why don't you tell me about it?"

Xing Chen was relieved in his heart. He knew that he had won the gamble. This old man had no intention of killing him in the first place.

He took a deep breath and explained. "He had provoked my Star Gazing Palace many times and was cornered by me. In the crucial moment, a woman appeared to block a fatal blow for him. Otherwise, he would have become a cold corpse by now."

"Oh?… It seems you have something, huh?" The old man stared at Xing Chen curiously.

"My profound strength might not be impressive, but I know how to set up a killing game." Xing Chen said boldly. "As long as you let me go, I can definitely kill your successor this time. Believe it or not?"

The old man went silent for a moment and laughed. "Haha! You are very similar to those old bastards from the Star God Emperor Realm."

He slapped the armrest and said. "Good! You are a good sharpening tool for my successor. Let me help you."

As his voice fell, two streaks of light suddenly shot out of his finger and pierced into the bodies of Xing Chen and Lan Cao.

Instantly, their profound strength raised drastically. Xing Chen immediately broke through the second level of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm while Lan Cao stepped into the fifth level of the Divine Foundation Realm.

The old man waved his hand, and a passage appeared on the left side of the hall. "Go. Let me see if you are good as your brag."

At this moment, the terrifying pressure that was suppressed by Xing Chen and Lan Cao vanished completely.

The two got up from the ground and looked at the old man deeply.

"Thank you for bestowing us your blessings." Lan Cao bowed deeply.

Meanwhile, Xing Chen didn't say anything. He bowed slightly and walked into the passage.

Lan Cao was startled momentarily and hurriedly followed him closely under the old man's gaze.

After a while, the two disappeared along the passage entrance, leaving the old man alone in the hall.

"My successor… Let's see how strong you are. Hehe." The old man said with a hint of excitement as if he couldn't wait to see Yun Lintian.

"This is the entrance to the second floor?" Nantian Fengyu looked at a passage that seemed to lead deeper into the ground in doubt.

She and Yun Lintian had solved a lot of puzzles along the way and finally arrived here two weeks later. However, the place where they stood right now was an open space without anything. This confused her a bit.

Yun Lintian glanced around the place and said. "It shouldn't be wrong… Maybe there's really nothing here?"

According to the information, there should be a trial for him to solve before entering the second floor. However, he didn't see anything here, no matter how hard he tried.

"This is an ordinary space." Hongyue's voice resounded. "I don't see anything here as well."

Since Hongyue confirmed this, Yun Lintian didn't doubt it further. He took a deep breath and said. "Let's go, Fifth Sister."

Nantian Fengyu nodded and followed Yun Lintian into the passage.

The two walked for twenty minutes before arriving in a palace hall with a throne at the end.

Yun Lintian looked around vigilantly with the Eyes of Heaven but failed to see anything special here except a richer profound energy flow.

After confirming there was no potential danger here, Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu gradually walked along the red carpet toward the throne.

Buzz—

Instantly, a terrifying pressure enveloped the two, and an illusory figure gradually appeared on the throne.

The expressions of Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu changed drastically. They tried to resist the pressure but failed to do so.

"Hmph!" Qingqing was angry and waved her hand, releasing a powerful windstorm to curve the terrifying pressure.

"A true spirit body? What a rare sight." A voice of an old man resounded, causing everyone to look toward the throne.

"Who are you?" Qingqing snarled.

"Me?… Why don't you ask your master?" The old man said.

Yun Lintian frowned deeply as he stared at the old man because he felt a familiar aura from him… It was an aura of the relics…
