Myth Beyond Heaven



Lou De raised his finger, and a dark beam immediately shot toward the surrounding golden barrier.

BOOM!!

The barrier shook violently, and several cracks appeared in it, causing Kong Xun's face to turn pale. The Shrouding Sky Barrier he formed could withstand a God Emperor's attack a few times, yet Lou De could break it with a single strike.

"That's it?" Lou De curled his lips. "Well, it's understandable. You're too far from that annoying Old Man Kong."

In the past, Kong Juhai was the only God Emperor who could restrain him. Lou De would have to make great efforts to break the barrier created by Kong Juhai every time they met.

"How is he doing now?" Lou De was unhurried to kill Kong Xun.

Kong Xun ignored him and unleashed every ounce of his divine energy to create another barrier, aiming to delay Lou De as long as possible.

Lou De glanced at Kong Xun and said with a faint laughter. "Hehe. It seems I have to beat you first for you to be obedient."

A dark beam flashed, and the barrier had just formed shattered instantly. At the same time, Lou De waved his claws at Kong Xun. The claws broke through space and lashed onto Kong Xun's chest.

"Ugh!!" Kong Xun tried his best to defend, but the power of the claws was overwhelming. Blood splashed everywhere as deep claw marks appeared on his chest, exposing his bones.

With a single strike, Kong Xun, one of the strongest protectors of the Shrouding Sky God Realm, was instantly gravely injured!

Lou De waved his hand, and the blood gushed out of Kong Xun's wounds immediately flew toward him. He gently licked the blood and laughed. "The taste is not bad. Hehehe."

Kong Xun gathered the last bit of the divine energy within his body as he retrieved a golden ruler from his storage ring.

However, before Kong Xun could react, Lou De had already appeared before him like a ghost and seized his neck, forcefully taking the ruler from his hand.

"Shrouding Heaven Ruler? Look like you have a high status." Lou De glanced at the golden ruler with a hint of surprise. The ruler was one of the great treasures of the Shrouding Sky God Realm and was usually held by the right protector of the Shrouding Sky God Emperor.

"Hehe. I can't help but wonder how Old Man Kong will react when he sees this ruler in my hand later." Lou De laughed sinisterly.

He glanced at Kong Xun, who was struggling and asked. "Do you want to tell me now?"

Kong Xun gritted his teeth hard, refusing to speak.

"Oh, well. I forgot that all of you are stubborn." Lou De patted his withered forehead. "Never mind. I will ask those two tender meat later."

With that, Lou De tightened his grip, attempting to break Kong Xun's neck.

Feeling that death was near, Kong Xun could only speak in his heart. "I have failed you, My Lord."

Just as his neck was about to shatter, the tattered pants that Kong Xun had obtained suddenly flew out of his storage ring and wrapped around Lou De's arm.

Lou De's pupils shrank upon seeing this, and a trace of fear appeared on his face. He hurriedly swung his arm fiercely, trying to get rid of the pants.

Kong Xun was released and fell to the ground. However, he had forgotten all about the pain as he stared blankly at the tattered pants... What on earth?

Crack!

"Get out!" Lou De roared angrily and punched the pants, causing his arm to break.

The pants immediately released Lou De's arm and wrapped around Kong Xun's waist, pulling him away in a flash.

Surprisingly, Lou De didn't follow but instead stared at the pants on Kong Xun's waist. "How the hell did that thing appear here?"

He took a deep look in the direction Kong Xun was leaving for a moment and vanished from the place.

"Stop first." Yun Lintian struggled to break free from the grip of Yu Zhilan and Jiang Shuren.

Jiang Shuren didn't stop running, she said. "I know you are worried about him, but this is our duty. We have to protect you at all costs."

Yu Zhilan didn't say anything, but her silence was evident. She shared the same opinion as Jiang Shuren. Even though she had to sacrifice herself, she must ensure Yun Lintian's safety until the very end.

Yun Lintian's face darkened as his voice deepened. "I said stop!"

Jiang Shuren furrowed her brow and glanced at Yun Lintian, whose expression turned solemn. She then exchanged glances with Yu Zhilan and abruptly stopped running.

Yun Lintian looked at them and said solemnly. "I don't want anyone to sacrifice their life for me. How can I continue walking on this path, knowing I am stepping on the bones of those around me?"

Having experienced a tragic past where the people around him sacrificed themselves to save his life, Yun Lintian didn't want to face such a similar situation again. He strived for the best every day because he wanted to protect everyone, not the other way around.

Without saying anything else, Yun Lintian activated Shadow Step and hurried back. His speed was so terrifying that Jiang Shuren and Yu Zhilan looked at him in astonishment.

As Yun Lintian traveled halfway, he suddenly saw a figure rush over. It was none other than Kong Xun.

Yun Lintian was startled when he saw the tattered pants hanging loosely around Kong Xun's waist. It looked like Kong Xun was being pulled forward by them.

The next moment, Kong Xun arrived in front of Yun Lintian, and the ragged pants immediately fell to the ground, motionless.

Swoosh!

Jiang Shuren and Yu Zhilan arrived beside Yun Lintian and looked at Kong Xun in surprise.

"Where is he now?" Jiang Shuren asked.

Kong Xun suppressed the wounds in his chest and spoke. "He left."

"Left?" Jiang Shuren was stunned.

Kong Xun picked up the ragged pants and stared at them in puzzlement. He still couldn't see anything special about it. What had just happened?

"When I was about to be killed, the pants suddenly came out, and Lou De was frightened." Kong Xun said in confusion.

Yun Lintian and the others stared blankly at the pants. They didn't know what to think at that moment.

"Let's go first." Yun Lintian broke the silence.

As everyone nodded and prepared to leave, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from a far distance, rapidly approaching them.

"Xing Ruihong?" Jiang Shuren's eyes narrowed slightly. The figure that rushed toward them was none other than Xing Ruihong, the elder of the Star God Realm. Moreover, he seemed to be running away from something...
