Myth Beyond Heaven

It was as if time stood still. The entire world was painted in a bloody hue, filled with a terrifying aura of death, as if a god of slaughter had descended from hell.

The smell of death woke Mo Tian and Mo Yan from their trance, and they didn't hesitate to unleash everything they had to block whatever was coming.

Immediately, their entire bodies were enveloped in an intense dark aura, giving them the appearance of black cocoons.

Rippp—

The next moment, several menacing red lights flashed across space like an intricate net. Mo Yan and the others could feel a searing pain coursing through their bodies. It felt as though they were about to be shredded into pieces.

"Uwahhhh!" The Sword Adjutants were mercilessly sliced into minced meat by the terrifying power.

Jian Lu was fortunate to have Qin Juehai, who came to his aid in that split second.

Meanwhile, the barriers around Mo Tian and Mo Yan were ripped apart, revealing several cutting wounds on their bodies.

A wave of exhaustion flooded over Hongyue. She couldn't stay here any longer and took the opportunity to escape. Her speed was even faster than before. Obviously, she had burned everything she had.

Qin Juehai glanced at the remains of the Sword Adjutants with a gloomy expression. Losing five peak Divine Emperors at the same time could easily damage the foundation of the Sword God Realm.

A part of it was his fault. Qin Juehai planned to surround Hongyue and restrict her movement. Unexpectedly, Hongyue didn't hesitate to unleash her ultimate move, Blood Moon Slaughter.

However, he knew this meant Hongyue was now at the end of her rope. As long as he could catch up with her, she wouldn't be able to use the same trick for a second time.

Qin Juehai stepped onto the sword and shot towards Hongyue.

Jian Lu wanted to follow, but his injury held him back. He could only gather the remains of his comrades and hastily departed the scene.

As for Mo Tian and Mo Yan, they had completely lost the qualifications to pursue Hongyue.

"Damn it!" Mo Tian lost his composure completely. Everything had never gone according to his plans. There would always be an unknown factor that appeared whenever they got closer to capturing Yun Lintian.

"We should leave now." Mo Yan said solemnly. It would be unwise to stay in the Divine Realm any longer, given their current conditions.

Mo Tian clenched his fists in anger. He wanted to activate the Decree of Darkness several times but refrained from doing so. It wasn't the right time to use it.

Roar!

Suddenly, ferocious roars could be heard from all directions. Mo Tian and Mo Yan immediately noticed a horde of ancient beasts in the distance.

"He…" Mo Yan immediately understood that Yao Huang had given the order to these ancient beasts.

Mo Tian's eyes flickered slightly. He took a deep breath and said. "As expected from an old devil. We have been tricked by him like fools."

The appearance of the ancient beasts allowed Mo Tian to see everything clearly. Yao Huang must have known that Mo Tian wouldn't dare to use the Decree of Darkness here, so he used him as a hunting dog to corner Yun Lintian into a dire situation.

Moreover, it was something Mo Tian couldn't refuse. He had to chase after Yun Lintian no matter what, even though he knew he had been tricked.

"We should ask our ancestors about this." Mo Yan said cautiously.

Mo Tian stared at the incoming ancient beasts and said. "Let's go back."

Following that, they transformed into a streak of black light and disappeared into the void.

At the forefront of the horde of ancient beasts, the Fleeting Cloud Profound Ark was moving forward at the fastest speed possible.

Jin Long and Xian An stood on the deck and discovered signs of a battle in the path ahead. Clearly, a few people had lost their lives here.

Xian An glanced at Jin Long and asked. "What do you think about his words?"

Jin Long frowned slightly and said. "It's not something we can decide. Saintess Orchid will tell us herself."

"Before this, you told me it would be better to have no association with Yun Lintian. Why do I see that you have become fond of him lately?" Xian An asked.

"I believe in the vision of the Dragon Ancestor." Jin Long replied calmly. "Our ancestor bestowed upon him his soul, marrow, and blood. For us dragons, giving one of these three things to someone else is a form of trust."

He explained nothing further because he knew Xian An would understand it.

Xian An lowered her head slightly and spoke after a brief moment of contemplation. "If Yun Lintian's fate is as Yao Huang had predicted, I feel sorry for him. He doesn't seem to be aware that he is being used by someone."

"It's not necessarily true." Jin Long spoke. "Maybe he is fully aware of it but chooses to follow through."

Xian An raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise. "Are you sure?"

Jin Long offered no answer, but his expression was clear. He believed his own judgment.

Seeing this, Xian An glanced at the numerous ancient beasts behind her and raised her hand, gathering her divine energy. "I trust you on this one."

As her voice fell, several divine lights shot out of her hand and rushed towards the ancient beasts.

Rumble—

Many ancient beasts were slain by the divine lights, yet they appeared indifferent to the fate of their fallen comrades. They continued rushing forward and started spreading out, heading towards other realms.

"A bunch of crazies." Xian An muttered under her breath when she saw this scene. It seemed that millions of lives were about to perish soon.

Jin Long looked at the ten Divine Emperors behind him and said. "Do your best."

"Yes, master." The Divine Emperors responded in unison and quickly leaped out, charging towards the group of ancient beasts.

Xian An also said to her subordinates. "Go. Save as many people as you can."

"Yes." The ten female Divine Emperors flew off the profound ark and joined the battle.

Xian An turned her head to look at the path ahead and said. "I hope we can catch up to them in time."

Jin Long released his draconic energy to increase the speed of the profound ark...
