Myth Beyond Heaven

The ground continued to shake, and several profound beasts emerged out of the sand, fleeing in all directions as they perceived danger.

A moment later, Master Bai trembled as he exhausted his profound energy. He glanced at the bearded dragon’s corpse and opened his mouth. Immediately, the corpse flew into his mouth, that was widened in an exaggerated shape and disappeared completely.

A warm current flushed to every corner of Master Bai’s body, and his profound strength constantly increased. From the peak of the Spirit Profound Realm to the Origin Profound Realm, and finally stopped at the peak of the Heaven Profound Realm.

This scene stunned Lei Zhenxiang and the others. They were even more curious about Master Bai’s origin.

After replenishing his energy, Master Bai continued to exert his power until a breaking sound echoed throughout the entire space.

Master Bai stopped and glanced around briefly. When he saw the sandstorms were gradually subsiding, he nodded and said. “Done.”

Immediately, Yun Lintian scanned the place through the Eyes of Heaven and saw the energy flow in one direction permanently, unlike the original one.

Master Bai flew over and landed on Yun Lintian’s head. “You owe me one, boy.”

Boom!

As he finished his sentence, the Heaven Piercing Sword burst out of its aura and blasted Master Bai away.

“F*ck!” Master Bai was so furious, but he couldn’t deal with the sword with his current strength. He could only suppress his anger and went to Yun Qianxue’s side. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍．𝒏𝒆𝒕

However, before he could land on her shoulder, his wings immediately froze with layers of ice, making him fall to the ground.

“You!” Master Bai wanted to cry. Why would everyone hate him after helping them?

Han Bingling and the others held back the urge to laugh when they saw Master Bai’s miserable appearance.

In the end, Master Bai sat on Qin Wuji’s shoulder and looked at the sword in Yun Lintian’s hand resentfully.

Yun Lintian looked at Master Bai and said. “Thank you.”

He turned to look at the path ahead. “Let’s go.”

Everyone nodded and moved forward.

While Yun Lintian’s group resumed their journey, the mysterious man who stayed deep in ruins watched everything play out while murmuring to himself. “That owl is not ordinary. Could it come from the Divine Realm?”

He went silent for a moment and said, with a trace of joy in his voice. “Very good. I didn’t expect my luck to be this good….”

***

BOOM!

Somewhere in the ruins, an intense battle broke out between two practitioners. One side was Gu Xiao which Yun Lintian had seen before, and his opponent was a young man with profound strength at the ninth level of Monarch Profound Realm.

In this situation, Gu Xiao was disadvantaged as his profound strength was inferior. Coupled with the fact that he had just killed an early-level Monarch Profound Beast with difficulty, he was completely suppressed by his opponent.

“I know ii. You have been following me for all this time, Wan Jiansheng.” Gu Xiao wiped the trace of bloodstain out of the corner of his mouth and stared at the young man, Wan Jiansheng, coldly.

“So what if you know? Aren’t you still falling into my hand in the end?” Wan Jiansheng smiled disdainfully.

Gu Xiao’s expression turned grim. He glanced around briefly, trying to find a retreating route.

However, his action was within Wan Jiansheng’s eyes. Before Gu Xiao could move, Wan Jiansheng had already stomped his foot on the ground. With a loud bang, a huge barrier immediately appeared around them, preventing Gu Xiao from escaping.

Gu Xiao was shocked inwardly. He looked at Wan Jiansheng and said coldly. “Your master surely spares no effort just to catch me.”

“It can’t be helped. Who let you kill my junior brother?” Wan Jiansheng chuckled. “As for catching you… Have you misunderstood something?”

As his voice fell, Wan Jiansheng’s figure flashed and arrived behind Gu Xiao. A long sword in his hand gleamed with mighty light, cutting through the space and slashing toward Gu Xiao’s back.

Gu Xiao urged his profound energy to the limit and executed his movement technique, trying his best to avoid the attack. With his current strength, it would be unwise to crash head-on.

Puff!

Gu Xiao successfully retreated into the distance, but his speed was too slow. He couldn’t avoid the slash completely.

A long wound appeared on his back as his blood gushed out. His face turned pale as he knelt on one knee on the ground.

Wan Jiansheng was surprised slightly. He shook the blood out of his sword and said coldly. “Not bad. You can actually avoid my attack in such a state. No wonder that bitch Hong Mei values you very much.”

Gu Xiao’s eyes flashed with boundless killing intent. It was fine to insult him, but insulting his master was unacceptable. However, he didn’t rush to make a move. His mind spun rapidly, thinking of how to get out of this current predicament.

“Let’s see what you are hiding.” Wan Jiansheng’s eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Gu Xiao manage to hold back his anger. Obviously, he had a trump card in his sleeve. Perhaps it was something his master gave him.

Thinking of this, he didn’t rush to Gu Xiao rashly like before. He raised his sword and swung it down, creating a horizontal sword beam toward Gu Xiao.

The sword beam carried a powerful might, spreading the sea of sand on its path in half with an ear-piercing cry reverberating throughout the space.

Gu Xiao’s expression was ashen. He thought Wan Jiansheng would come to him again, and this time, he could use his trump card to deal with him. Unexpectedly, this bastard was clever enough.

Seeing the sword beam was about to arrive, Gu Xiao gritted his teeth and made a decision. Immediately, a small red feather appeared in his hand, and he quickly injected the last trace of his profound energy into it.

With a bang, the red feather abruptly transformed into a fiery bird and swallowed the incoming sword beam and the surrounding barrier while rushing toward Wan Jiansheng.

“Hmph!” Wan Jiansheng snorted coldly. He guessed it right. Gu Xiao was holding back his life-saving card for all this time.

Without thinking further, he hurriedly retreated and threw a palm-sized yellow plate at the incoming firebird.

In that instant, the yellow plate spun midair, and a thick profound shield appeared around it…
