Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the looming silhouette completely disappear. He could sense that the creature's strength was at the God Ascension Realm. There was no way for him to fight it.

At the same time, he finally understood why it was so difficult for people to pass these trials. He also wasn't surprised that Yun Tian could easily conquer everything here.

Yun Lintian calmed down and carefully considered his next move. Now, three out of six paths of reincarnation were down. There were three more left. The Path of Heaven, the Path of Human, and the Path of Hell. He wasn't sure what kind of trials they were.

"Hungry…" Gui Xuan rubbed his tummy with a pitiful expression.

Yun Lintian quickly scanned the surroundings and set up a table, a chair, and an array of delicacies. He placed Gui Xuan on the table and said. "Don't leave the table, understand?"

Gui Xuan didn't seem to hear anything. He quickly grabbed two chicken drumsticks and gnawed on them in relish.

Yun Lintian also took this opportunity to replenish his spiritual energy.

***

While Yun Lintian rested, an intense battle was taking place far ahead of him.

"Hehehe! You didn't learn from the previous lesson at all." Gao Kang laughed wickedly as he swung the massive axe in his hand at Hua Rong.

Hua Rong's expression turned grim. Her aura erupted as she brandished her long sword at the oncoming attack.

Clang!

The two weapons clashed fiercely, causing the space around them to ripple.

Hua Rong was instantly sent flying by the impact. Clearly, there was a certain gap between the two.

Gao Kang curled his lips in disdain. His pupils glowed black in the dim light. His jet-black hair stood on end, defying gravity in the absence of any wind, as an unseen force gradually exuded from his body.

"Since you are so eager to die, I don't mind helping you. No one will know anyway." Gao Kang chuckled coldly.

He swung the axe gracefully, creating a bluish-black storm in the air, and directed it straight at Hua Rong.

The attack felt like the chilling winds from the depths of hell itself. If there were people around, they would feel as if the gates of hell had opened to devour them all.

A black-greenish light suddenly flashed across Hua Rong, who had just regained her balance. In the next moment, the fog around her churned and transformed into the shapes of flower petals before swirling towards the cold wind.

BOOM!

The two opposing dark energies clashed and engulfed the entire area in darkness.

Hua Rong was forced to take several steps back. Her face contorted in agony.

"Oh?" Gao Kang was surprised to see Hua Rong manage to withstand his attack.

"How about this?" Gao Kang stretched out his hand and made a grasping gesture.

However, Gao Kang's expression changed as he suddenly realized something.

At that moment, the ground suddenly shook, and black flames abruptly burst out of nowhere, transforming the entire area into a sea of flames.

Gao Kang ignored Hua Rong and hastily retreated at full speed.

Hua Rong was no exception. She didn't hesitate to retreat as fast as she could.

Soon, the entire space transformed into a world of darkness filled with searing black flames. It resembled the legendary eighteen hells.

"It's finally appeared." Gao Kang uttered coldly as he looked at the scene. "The last time, I couldn't overcome it. This time, I came prepared."

A dark whirlpool of black wind immediately appeared beneath him as he spoke. Gao Kang cautiously moved forward, walking into the sea of black flames.

Meanwhile, Hua Rong stared at Gao Kang with a darkened expression. There was nothing she could do at the moment…

BOOM!

A deafening explosion immediately startled Yun Lintian. He frowned deeply as he looked in the direction of the sound.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Yun Lintian felt a heatwave emanating from the path ahead.

Without hesitation, Yun Lintian stood up and conjured a barrier.

Swoosh—

The next moment, the terrifying heatwave ruthlessly slammed into the barrier. Standing behind the barrier, Yun Lintian could clearly feel the searing heat. If he hadn't erected the barrier, his body might have been melted into nothingness by now.

"The Path of Hell?" Yun Lintian spoke to himself, filled with doubt. Among the remaining three paths, the Path of Hell was the only one associated with intense heat.

Slurp! Slurp!

The slurping sound interrupted Yun Lintian's train of thought. He was speechless as he glanced at Gui Xuan, who was happily slurping noodles as if nothing had happened around him.

Soon, the heatwave gradually subsided, leaving behind a lingering heat.

Yun Lintian didn't dare to remove the barrier. He strengthened the barrier and sat down, continuing to replenish his strength.

"Burp!" A few minutes later, Gui Xuan let out a burp and rubbed his tummy with satisfaction.

"Full?" Yun Lintian glanced at him.

Gui Xuan nodded and raised his arms, asking for a hug.

Yun Lintian picked him up and stored everything away, preparing to leave.

"Do you know the direction?" He asked.

Gui Xuan tilted his head and pointed to his right side.

"Again?" Yun Lintian was puzzled. He felt like he had been traveling eastward for a long time. Wouldn't it hit the rail?

Gui Xuan nodded heavily, indicating that he was sure about it.

"Alright." Yun Lintian didn't dwell on it and followed the direction Gui Xuan pointed out.

"Ahhhh!"

As Yun Lintian walked, a sudden, miserable scream echoed from the south. He was certain that it was a human's scream this time.

"Maybe someone died?" Yun Lintian spoke to himself. Many people people were stepping onto the bridge, and it was expected to have some casualties.

Yun Lintian didn't pay further attention to it and continued moving forward.

The further he walked, the hotter the air grew. Even though Yun Lintian was familiar with the fire element, he still felt like his entire body was burning.

Yun Lintian raised his finger, and an ice shield immediately appeared around him, relieving the heat.

An hour later, Yun Lintian arrived at the edge of the sea of black flames. Because Yun Lintian couldn't see the path ahead, he didn't dare to step in recklessly.

Gui Xuan turned his head to look at the black flames and said. "Go."

Yun Lintian frowned slightly. Although he fully trusted Gui Xuan, his intuition told him something terrifying was hiding in this place.

He thought for a moment, then decided to move forward...

Rumble!
