Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1726 Heavenhold Crisis

Tian Hualing ignored Tian Jia and spoke to Tian Xue. “Tell everyone to prepare themselves. We will be opening the barrier soon.”

“Understood.” Tian Xue responded promptly and swiftly left the hall.

Tian Jia frowned in dissatisfaction but didn’t pursue this matter further. “What about the Rain God Realm?”

“We cannot contact them. I suppose they are currently facing a similar situation.” Tian Hualing said solemnly.

Hearing this, Tian Jia glanced at the secret passage behind the throne and shook her head.

Since Yun Lintian left, Tian Yuhan entered the secret room and never came out again. There was also a strange barrier blocking everyone from entering the place. It had been like this for more than ten years now.

Furthermore, the sealing barrier of Heavenhold Realm had also disappeared. If it weren’t for the protection of the Shrouding Sky God Emperor, this place would have turned into ruins a long time ago.

It wasn’t until a month ago that the protective barrier inexplicably disappeared, allowing these ancient beasts to invade this place.

At first, the invaders were only a group of low-level beasts, and Tian Hualing was able to eradicate them. Unfortunately, as time passed, an increasing number of formidable ancient beasts arrived, causing the Heavenhold Realm to deteriorate into its current state.

Roar!

All of a sudden, a deafening roar reverberated from above, causing Tian Hualing and Tian Jia’s expressions to change drastically.

Immediately, they rushed out and looked up at the sky.

At this moment, more than ten ancient beasts at the peak Divine Sovereign level could be seen in the sky. A black mass thronged beneath them. In fact, they were entirely surrounded by a black horde.

Each one of these beasts exuded a terrifying aura that caused everyone in the Heavenhold Sect to tremble involuntarily.

Suddenly, a young man dressed in black emerged from the group of beasts and scanned the crowd before finally fixing his gaze on Tian Hualing and Tian Jia, the two strongest individuals present.

“Who among you is the realm king?” The young man asked. “Oh. I was rude. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Wu Jun.”

“As long as you bring your people to surrender to me and vow to serve me faithfully, I will stop immediately.”

“Peak Divine Emperor.” Tian Hualing spoke through a sound transmission.

Tian Jia’s heart sank. Both Tian Hualing and she were only at the second level of the Divine Emperor Realm. It was impossible to fight against this man.

Tian Hualing looked at Wu Jun and said. “You should instruct your people to cease their actions first, and then we will talk this out.”

Wu Jun curled his lips and said. “Don’t you find it ridiculous to say this? I didn’t come to negotiate with you.”

His aura gradually emanated from his body as he spoke, enveloping the entire Heavenhold Sect.

Tian Hualing’s face turned solemn as she spoke. “If that’s the case, why are you speaking in the first place?”

Buzz—

Suddenly, a terrifying blue barrier appeared around the Heavenhold Sect’s territory, and those low-level beasts were instantly pushed away.

Wu Jun didn’t seem to care about the barrier. He stared at Tian Hualing and said. “You are not the realm king. Where is she?”

Before coming here, Wu Jun received information about the Heavenhold Pearl. The only one who could control the pearl was the current realm king. Wu Jun wanted to find her, make her submit to him, and control this ancient artifact.

Tian Hualing ignored him and turned to look at the other elders. “Lead everyone to the safe place.”

“Yes.” The elders responded and left quickly.

Wu Jun frowned slightly and pointed his finger towards the blue barrier. An immeasurable amount of dark divine energy was released into the air through the tip of his finger all at once.

BOOM!!

The entire barrier shook violently, but it managed to withstand Wu Jun’s blow.

“Interesting…” Wu Jun curled his lips as he saw this scene. “How about this?”

He clenched his fist and threw a powerful punch, unleashing a devilish might that was several times stronger than the last.

BOOOOM!! CRACK!

An earth-shattering explosion occurred, causing the barrier that had previously withstood Wu Jun’s attack to instantly crack, on the verge of shattering.

Tian Hualing and Tian Jia’s expressions changed dramatically. Wu Jun was obviously the peak Divine Emperor. He shouldn’t be able to break the ultimate barrier that even a god emperor would find hard to deal with… But the scene in front of them spoke for itself. The barrier definitely couldn’t withstand another blow.

Both of them drew their weapons and gathered their powers, preparing to fight.

“Ho. It’s quite tough.” Wu Jun was surprised to see that the barrier managed to survive.

He opened his hand, and a long black sword appeared. He swung his sword downward and uttered. “Break.”

Under the formidable power of the peak Divine Emperor, the barrier that was on the verge of breaking appeared incredibly fragile and feeble. With a loud bang, the barrier cracked open and shattered into pieces.

Countless practitioners below were terrified by the scene.

“RUN!” Tian Hualing shouted and rushed towards Wu Jun with Tian Jia.

The practitioners regained their senses and fled as fast as they could.

Wu Jun ignored the two and glanced at the people who were running. He beckoned to the ancient beasts around him. “Kill them.”

“Roar!” The ancient beasts were delighted and rushed towards the group of practitioners in the distance.

Tian Hualing’s expression changed. She swung her sword at the group of beasts, attempting to block them.

“Didn’t you come for me? Why did you change your mind?” Wu Jun said with a smile and swung his sword at Tian Hualing.

The space before him was torn open as a black arc rushed towards Tian Hualing.

Seeing this scene, Tian Jia gritted her teeth and unleashed all her strength to intercept the attack.

BANG!!

Tian Jia was sent flying by the impact and crashed heavily to the ground. Blood gushed out of her mouth like a fountain. Her internal organs were damaged.

With a single blow, Tian Jia was rendered powerless instantly!

Tian Hualing turned around and saw the black sword appear in front of her. She instinctively blocked it with her sword, but it was too late.

BOOM!

Blood splashed in the air as a long cutting wound appeared on Tian Hualing’s chest. Her figure fell from the sky like a fallen leaf…
