Myth Beyond Heaven

Xia Nongyue could feel a warm current flowing into her body. The injury she sustained from using the forbidden technique began to heal.

Everyone remained silent during this period, fearing it would disturb Yun Tian.

A moment later, Yun Tian withdrew his hand and said. "You shouldn't attempt to use that incomplete technique again. It will leave an incurable injury and damage your foundation."

"I know." Xia Nongyue responded softly.

At this moment, Xia Wu stepped forward and bowed his head. "On behalf of everyone in the Xia Kingdom, I thank Senior Yun for your kindness."

Yun Tian and the others were stunned by Xia Wu's actions. They didn't expect him to bow his head in this manner.

Yun Tian waved his hand to help Xia Wu up and said. "This is what I should do. No need to thank me or anything."

Xia Wu shook his head and said. "Anyway, you saved everyone here. You deserve to be respected by everyone."

Yun Tian didn't say anything further.

"Senior, do you know what happened?" Lou Lan suddenly asked. She tried to find the cause of the profound beasts' berserk behavior but ultimately couldn't find it.

"It's the dark element." Yun Tian spoke. "They are influenced by the surge of the dark element. However, I still couldn't find the source."

"Dark element?" Xia Wu and the others frowned deeply.

"Is it related to the change in the world's aura?" Xia Wu asked.

"No doubt about it." Yun Tian nodded. "I can tell you that the world's boundaries have become thinner over the years. It should be related to it in some way."

Xia Nongyue's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. "I can feel it as well."

Yun Tian wasn't surprised by Xia Nongyue's words. "I'll take a look first."

"Can I go with you?" Xia Nongyue suddenly asked.

Yun Tian paused for a moment before speaking. "Sure."

With that, he wrapped his arm around Xia Nongyue's waist and soared into the sky.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. You have found a powerful son-in-law." The old general said with a smile.

Xia Wu shook his head and said. "I wished."

Soon, Yun Tian and Xia Nongyue reached the highest point in the world. Although they couldn't see it, they could feel a thin barrier in front of them, preventing them from leaving the world.

"Sure enough." Yun Tian said in a hushed tone as he observed a surge of dark energy emanating from the outside world.

Xia Nongyue stared at the barrier and said. "We can't stop it."

Yun Tian fell into deep contemplation.

Meanwhile, Yun Lintian gazed at the dark energy current with a pensive expression. The dark energy in front of him closely resembled the aura inside the Devil Valley. Perhaps there was a connection between them.

"Step back." Yun Tian suddenly spoke.

Xia Nongyue remained silent and took a step back.

Yun Tian closed his eyes for a moment, and when he reopened them, the crown immediately appeared on his head.

Instantly, the eight jewels on the crown lit up, releasing beautiful lights.

Yun Tian slowly gathered his energy. Droplets of sweat glistened on his forehead as time passed.

Yun Lintian looked at him and said to himself. "Well. This is probably the only way."

He was aware of Yun Tian's intentions. Basically, Yun Tian attempted to create a barrier around the world to temporarily block the dark aura from entering. Although it wouldn't last long, it was better than nothing.

An hour later, Yun Tian reached his limit and quickly unleashed his power.

Boom—

A multicolored light streaked across the sky and gradually coalesced into a barrier. Everyone around the world could clearly see it.

At the same time, the ferocious beasts gradually calmed down. Although they were still attacking people, their behavior was much less aggressive.

Yun Tian let out a long, exhausted breath. He was completely drenched in sweat at that moment.

Xia Nongyue drew closer and used her handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Yun Tian's forehead. "Thank you for helping everyone."

Yun Tian was surprised by the intimate gesture. A strange feeling surged in his heart. He was now sure that he had good feelings for her.

Yun Tian momentarily gazed at Xia Nongyue's beautiful face before speaking. "I will be leaving soon. Would you like to come with me?"

Xia Nongyue was surprised and smiled. "Yes."

Yun Tian was delighted. "Let's go back first."

With that, the two of them returned to the capital city.

After informing Xia Wu and Jing Mei, Xia Nongyue brought Lou Lan and left the city with Yun Tian.

Yun Tian returned to Verdant Village and established several protective formations around the village before taking Yun Yi and Yun Xia away.

The five of them came to the world's boundaries again, and Yun Tian exerted his power to pry the barrier open.

Yun Lintian looked solemnly at the scene. He didn't know if that devil's eye would appear again. This time, he must ensure that he learns about its identity.

To Yun Lintian's surprise, nothing actually happened. Yun Tian effortlessly pried open the barrier and successfully departed the world.

"This..." Xia Nongyue and the others were stunned by the enigmatic scene in front of them.

Currently, they stood in a starry sky filled with countless stars. Looking back, they could see the world they had just left. It was an incredible experience.

Yun Lintian looked around carefully. He wasn't sure if this place was the Divine Realm because the aura was completely different. It seemed much thinner compared to the Divine Realm he knew.

However, the dark energy in the air was incredibly dense. It was not inferior to the aura inside the Devil Valley at all.

"Could it be... the Great Devil Realm?" Yun Lintian suddenly had an idea. The Great Devil Realm and the Divine Realm were, in fact, next to each other. If that were the case, it would explain why the dark aura here was extremely rich.

Meanwhile, Yun Tian frowned deeply. It wasn't due to the unfamiliar environment but rather the unexpected connection that had just formed in his heart. It was as if someone or something was trying to guide him to a place.

Yun Tian hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to follow it. "Let's go."

Xia Nongyue and the others had no objections and quickly followed Yun Tian into the depths of the starry sky…
