Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian let out a long breath and walked toward Xing Chen step by step. His grip on the sword didn’t loosen in the slightest, even though Xing Chen couldn’t move anymore.

“Puff!” As Yun Lintian drew closer, Xing Chen suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his body convulsed slightly as he struggled to get up.

“You lose.” Yun Lintian stopped a step away from Xing Chen and pointed the Heaven Piercing Sword at the latter’s heart.

Xing Chen’s bloody eyes stared at Yun Lintian briefly, and he gave up struggling, lying on the ground powerlessly.

“You don’t forget our bet, right?” Yun Lintian said in a deep voice.

A ridiculous smile emerged on Xing Chen’s face as he said. “That’s right… In your eyes, I am nothing but a deceitful man… Cough!”

While coughing another mouthful of blood, he raised his hand slightly, and a white palm-sized crystal appeared on it. “Take it…”

Yun Lintian looked at the white crystal in surprise. He naturally recognized it. This was a rare artifact called a memory crystal.

He waved his hand, and the crystal gently floated toward him. However, he didn’t look at the content inside right away. Instead, he looked at Xing Chen and asked. “Any last word?”

Normally, Yun Lintian would never give the enemy a chance to even say the last word, but he thought Xing Chen deserved it. It wasn’t coming from his respect for Xing Chen; rather, he understood how Xing Chen felt.

Living for two lifetimes, Yun Lintian understood very well how unfair the world was. Xing Chen might have been born in the Star Gazing Palace that everyone yearned for, but with his mediocre talent, it was a curse instead of a blessing.

At the same time, Yun Lintian admired Xing Chen’s perseverance in his heart. To be able to endure the immense pressure of being Xing Yongnian’s disappointed son and humiliation from all sides for so long, Xing Chen deserved to be praised on this aspect.

As for those underhand methods Xing Chen used, though Yun Lintian didn’t like them, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. After all, the result was everything.

As the sayings go, the winner is king, and the loser is a bandit. What was the point of being a good man but dead in the end?

“Heh… Hehehe!” Xing Chen suddenly laughed, causing blood to gush out of his wounds even more. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗ｏ𝚟𝚎𝚕.ｏｒｇ

He looked at Yun Lintian and said. “This is the end of me… However, you better remember that I didn’t lose to you.”

His claw-like hand suddenly raised up and pierced into his heart. Blood spurted out like a fountain, and not a single sound could be heard from Xing Chen.

He didn’t die right away but looked at Yun Lintian with a smile. “In the end, I lose to your luck….”

As his voice fell, he took his last breath, and his entire body came to a halt, announcing the end of the Star Gazing Palace’s eldest young master…

Yun Lintian lowered the sword down and stared at Xing Chen’s lifeless body for a while and said. “Didn’t I tell you before that luck is also considered a strength?”

As he spoke, a fireball appeared on his left hand, and he threw it toward Xing Chen’s body.

However, before the fireball could touch the body, the blood pool beneath Xing Chen suddenly floated into the air and blasted the fireball away.

In that split second, the blood pool compressed together. It formed a single droplet of black blood, exuding a terrifyingly gloomy aura before rushing toward Yun Lintian’s chest.

Everything happened too fast, completely catching Yun Lintian off-guard. The droplet of blood went straight into his chest and drilled into his body.

Immediately, Yun Lintian felt as though he was being thrown into a scorching sea of magma as a hot sensation spread to every corner of his body.

His veins emerged on his skin as if they were about to explode at any moment.

“Big Brother Yun!” Linlin and Qingqing’s faces turned pale, and they hurriedly rushed to his side, followed by Lauya.

At this moment, Yun Lintian’s eyes were completely red, not much different from Xing Chen’s eyes previously. A dark aura gradually emitted from his body as his skin turned inky black bit by bit.

“Hahaha!” A burst of wild laughter echoed through the dark space as Mo Ke silently walked out of the darkness. His face was full of joy as he looked at Yun Lintian. “You still fall into my hand in the end!”

“Where is that bitch Hongyue? Why don’t you come out!?” Mo Ke said arrogantly. “Look. His successor has become one of my kind now! Did you see it? Hahahaha!”

“I’ll kill you!” Qingqing didn’t know what happened to Yun Lintian, but she knew that it was caused by Mo Ke. Her aura surged, and when she was about to release her power, Lauya suddenly stopped her.

“Don’t do it. You’re using his power right now. It will make the situation worse.” Lauya said while injecting her power into Yun Lintian’s body, trying to stop the transformation.

Qingqing’s power was heavily linked to The Storm inside Yun Lintian’s body. If she used her power again, Yun Lintian would definitely suffer.

“Roar!” While Qingqing’s movement froze, Linlin had already jumped into the air and filled the entire space with golden lightning bolts.

“Scram!” Mo Ke sneered and waved his hand. The surrounding darkness immediately floated up and completely swallowed all the lightning bolts.

The backlash immediately sent Linlin flying. Her face turned ghastly pale, and blood could be seen leaking from her mouth. However, her eyes were always on Yun Lintian while she prayed that nothing would happen to him.

“Don’t dare to come out?” Mo Ke curled his lips. “Then don’t blame me for taking over him.”

As his voice fell, Mo Ke morphed into a black shadow and flew toward Yun Lintian. His eyes were full of greed. As long as he could take over Yun Lintian’s body, the Beyond Heaven King’s inheritances would belong to him.

From the beginning to the present, he meticulously guided Xing Chen and Lan Cao step by step. Everything went well according to his plan. It could be said it was perfect. Now it was the time for him to reap the rewards.

Just as he was about to plunge into Yun Lintian’s body, Hongyue’s cold voice suddenly resounded.

“Looks like you didn’t learn the previous lesson at all.”
