Myth Beyond Heaven



"You..." Gong Su forced his voice out of his throat. Then, a layer of ice began to seal away his body, organs, blood, profound aura, and finally, profound vein. With that, Yu Zhilan had completely cut off Gong Su's chance to struggle.

Yan Yin and the others looked at Yu Zhilan with expressions of astonishment. Although Yun Lintian had created an opportunity for her, it wasn't an easy task to catch Gong Su off guard like this. Moreover, she managed to bypass his defense and turn him into an ice sculpture in one fell swoop. Even Yan Yin at his peak might not be able to do it.

Yu Zhilan stared at Gong Su coldly and knocked him to the ground with a thud. She was able to seize the golden opportunity earlier, mainly due to Yun Lintian's distraction and her mastery of the Rain Splitting Shadow movement technique. Coupled with the terrifying power of the ice sword, it enabled her to pierce through Gong Su's defense and immobilize him.

"Don't kill him." Yun Lintian flew down to the ground and said. "I have a better way to handle him."

Even if they were to kill Gong Su here, he would eventually resurrect and seek revenge on them later. Especially Yun Lintian had to leave Yu Zhilan and the others outside. He didn't want them to face Gong Su again.

"Lead the way." Yun Lintian looked at Yan Yin and said.

Yan Yin immediately understood Yun Lintian's intention. A flicker of excitement flashed through his eyes as he spoke. "Hehe! What a great idea! Follow me."

After finishing his sentence, Yan Yin grabbed Gong Su and rushed out, followed by Yun Lintian and the others.

On the other side, Ling Zemin's group rapidly approached the tower. As they drew closer, their surroundings became brighter, illuminated by scattered white light.

"Are we safe now?" Yang Zhen asked.

"We're fine now." Ling Zemin responded. "We have already entered the tower's area."

His eyes fixated on the vague black silhouette far off in the distance ahead of him. The black figure towered into the sky, and a beam of light could be seen at its top.

"The aura here is entirely different from the other places." Xing Liuxian said with a frown. "It's rich with light and star energy here."

Since arriving at this location, Xing Liuxian had been searching for a secluded spot to practice, as the concentration of star energy here was incredibly abundant. However, he first needed to learn how to leave this place from Ling Zemin. Otherwise, it would be useless no matter how powerful he became later.

"What should we do after entering the tower, Brother Ling?" Yang Zhen asked.

Ling Zemin replied. "As I mentioned before, my father has completely forgotten about everything inside. But, according to the words of the Beyond Heaven King, there were trials on each floor. As long as we pass one of them, we can leave this place at any moment."

Xing Liuxian was puzzled. "Didn't you say before that your esteemed father, Goddess Yao Xi, and the Beyond Heaven King had forgotten everything?. How did the Beyond Heaven King know about it?"

"He learned it from the ancient records." Ling Zemin explained. "Everyone in the world knows that the Beyond Heaven King spent his time collecting ancient records from all around the world. Many of them had been obtained inside the Primordial God Forsaken Land."

"Then how do you know if he has left something behind inside the tower?" Yang Zhen asked in puzzlement.

Ling Zemin raised his head to look at the beam of light atop the tower and said. "Isn't it obvious?"

Yang Zhen and Xing Liuxian were stunned and turned to look at the light pillar.

Ling Zemin said further. "That's one of his relics called the Light Pole. The reason this area is rich in the light element is because of it. And my father believes that there are other things he left for his successor."

Yang Zhen and the others immediately understood everything.

Ling Zemin didn't say anything further and increased his speed. Soon, everyone arrived in front of a tower that looked ancient. A large plaque with the words "Reincarnation Tower" could be seen atop the bronze gate.

Ling Zemin and the others felt their hearts tighten just by looking at the plaque. It was as if a mighty god emperor was staring down at them.

Ling Zemin looked at everyone and said. "I don't know if we can still see each other indoors. Just do your best."

Although Yang Zhen and Xing Liuxian didn't believe that Ling Zemin had no idea about the things inside, they didn't inquire further and instead expressed their understanding.

"Understood." Yang Zhen and the others responded.

Ling Zemin didn't say anything further and walked up to the bronze gate before gently pushing it. The gate slowly opened, but he couldn't see anything inside because there seemed to be a layer of black film blocking his view.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the tower, disappearing into the darkness.

Yang Zhen and Xing Liuxian glanced at each other and followed suit.

"It's here. I can't go any further." Yan Yin halted his steps at the edge of the tower's vicinity. He looked ahead at the bright light zone and then turned to look at Gong Su in his hand. "Hehe. Who would have thought that you would have this day, Gong Su?"

He turned to Yun Lintian and asked. "Can you leave him with me?"

"Go ahead." Yun Lintian nodded. His idea was simple. He wanted to throw Gong Su into the tower's area and make him vanish forever.

Yan Yin grinned and shattered the ice encasing Gong Su's head, enabling him to regain consciousness.

Gong Su opened his eyes with difficulty and glared at Yan Yin. "You…"

Yan Yin quickly interrupted him. "Look. Where is this place?"

Gong Su stopped speaking and glanced ahead at the bright area. His face turned pale instantly. For the first time in his life, fear emerged in his heart.

"Yan Yin! I am your fellow devil. How dare you treat me like this?" Gong Su roared furiously.

"Fellow devil?" Yan Yin laughed. "Did you consider me a fellow devil when you struck me before?"

"You!" Gong Su's eyes bulged, but his sealed profound vein made it impossible for him to take any action in this situation.

"Forget it. Talking with you is such a waste of time." Yan Yin grinned and threw Gong Su into the bright light zone.
