Myth Beyond Heaven

Li Ke's expression darkened. He raised his hand, and a few black talismans appeared between his fingers.

With a bang, the talismans shattered into pieces, unleashing a massive surge of dark energy.

"Useless tricks." Hongyue sneered disdainfully when she saw this.

She raised her arm, and a muffled explosion rang out in the red moon behind her. The image of the red moon suddenly swelled up and released explosive energy, causing the entire space to tremble as if millions of universe-destroying storms were rampaging wildly.

Qian Guimo's face turned pale when he saw this scene. The strength Hongyue currently displayed was far greater than in the past. Obviously, she had improved significantly over the years.

Qian Guimo immediately realized how naive he was to think that he had a chance of escaping from her. He couldn't go against her in the past, and the present was no different… What on earth had she done over the years?

Blood-colored divine light exploded violently from Hongyue's body. Her hair rose above her head, becoming even redder. The red sleeve on her right arm was immediately torn to pieces.

When the incomprehensibly dreadful energy wave appeared, Li Ke and Qian Guimo felt as if their bodies were being repeatedly crushed by a colossal hammer. They let out painful groans as they watched the divine light shoot out of Hongyue's hand.

Li Ke's entire body shuddered uncontrollably. His instincts screamed at him, urging him to run as far as he could. However, it was impossible for him to run in this situation.

A black wheel-shaped object appeared in Li Ke's hand as he infused all of his power into it. The wheel abruptly burst into a gloomy black light, transforming into the gigantic silhouette of a man.

The man had no distinctive features, as everything was black. Only his crimson eyes could be seen.

Li Ke knelt down and said. "I am incompetent and willing to accept any punishments. Please help me, my king."

The man glanced at the approaching divine light and raised his hand, pointing his finger towards it.

An oppressive might, so great that it made space tremble, emerged at the tip of the man's finger. In the next moment, a massive beam of black light shot out, hurtling towards the red light.

BOOOOM—

Everything within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers was shaking violently.

The once blood-red world was now enveloped in an endless expanse of darkness.

When everything settled down, a bright red light emerged from the darkness. It was a barrier that Hongyue had created.

At that moment, Hongyue stood behind the red barrier with Yu Wuying. Her eyes fixated on the black figure in the far distance. From this exchange, she was certain that this person was above the God Emperor Realm.

The black figure stared at Hongyue for a while and then spoke. "Unfortunately, you have only inherited a minuscule portion of the Primordial Moon God. You will never be my opponent. So, give up and join me. I will bring peace to the world as you wish."

Hongyue frowned slightly as she asked. "Shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"

"My king..." Li Ke wanted to remind the man but was interrupted first.

"It's fine. She will know it sooner or later." The man said calmly. "My name is Yao Huang. Similar to you, I am an inheritor of the Primordial Heaven Devouring Devil God."

Hongyue and Yu Wuying were shocked upon hearing this. According to the records, the Primordial Heaven Devouring Devil God was one of the most powerful gods in the Primordial Era. It was said that he could destroy any universe by simply waving his hand.

Who would have thought that the inheritor of such a powerful devil god had been hiding in the Divine Realm all this time?

Hongyue and Yu Wuying immediately understood everything. It was no wonder that those devils from the Great Devil Realm made relentless attempts to breach the protective barrier around Devil Valley. They must know about this.

"Although the Primordial Heaven Devouring Devil God was a devil, he was not someone who derived pleasure from killing and desired to annihilate the world. On the contrary, he was a peace-loving person in nature." The man, Yao Huang, stated.

"However, the situation forced him to make a choice, and the Primordial War was something he couldn't avoid."

Hongyue stared at Yao Huang for a while and said coldly. "A peace-loving person? Don't make me laugh. How many innocent people have your people killed during these days?"

"What is the difference between us?" Yao Huang suddenly asked. "Millions of people have died at your hands in the past."

"Of course. They deserved to die." Hongyue responded.

"Deserved to die?" Yao Huang nodded slightly. "It depends on people's perspectives. To them, you are a bloodthirsty killer, but to you, they are criminals. So, what is right and wrong here?"

Hongyue furrowed her brow tightly. "Don't play a riddle here."

"Our views may differ, but I believe we can discuss this and find a resolution." Yao Huang said. "In the past, the Primordial Moon God and the Primordial Heaven Devouring Devil God were good friends. If possible, I don't want to be your enemy."

Hongyue scoffed. "If that's the case, why don't you hand over the Dark Pearl?"

"I cannot." Yao Huang replied calmly. "No one deserves it."

"See? Everything you said earlier is meaningless." Hongyue pursed her lips.

Yao Huang sighed softly and said. "It's inconvenient to talk here. We will meet again."

As he finished his sentence, his figure transformed into a black mist and wrapped around Li Ke before disappearing without a trace.

Hongyue could only watch as the black mist vanished.

She turned to look at Qian Guimo, whose appearance was extremely miserable and pulled him over.

"Tell me what you know," Hongyue said.

Qian Guimo endured the pain and spoke without fear. "You must let me go first."

Hongyue stared into Qian Guimo's eyes for a moment before releasing him.

"I'll give you one chance. If you cannot convince me, you can die." Hongyue spoke coldly.

On the side, Yu Wuying calmly observed everything. As much as she wanted to kill Qian Guimo, she knew that Hongyue must have her own plan.

Qian Guimo took some healing pills and said. "When Cai Xieren died, her body mysteriously disappeared in front of everyone. It was as if someone had taken her away. I have a record here."
