Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1887 The Bridge of Oblivion (3)

The seven-colored sword swiftly flew over and surrounded Yun Lintian, tirelessly blocking the approaching hungry ghosts.

At this moment, Yun Lintian was like a lonely boat in the vast sea, battling against overpowering tidal waves. No matter how hard he tried to push them away, they seemed to be endless.

Yun Lintian sweated profusely as he wielded his swords to vanquish the endless horde of hungry ghosts. He felt that he could no longer hold back and had to borrow the power of the relics.

Immediately, the Heaven Piercing Sword in his hand shone brightly with a white light, dispersing the surrounding fog.

Before Yun Lintian could launch his attack, he suddenly discovered that the aura of death around him surged violently, swarming toward him from all directions. It was as if he were a vacuum, sucking everything toward him.

“The laws of death?” Yun Lintian furrowed his brow. The aura of death had somehow transformed into the Great Laws of Death, causing the light energy around his sword to dim.

Furthermore, as the aura passed through the hungry ghosts, they became even more frenzied. Their strength surged rapidly as they jumped onto Yun Lintian, like a massive mountain collapsing from all four sides.

Yun Lintian’s expression turned unsightly. Just as he was about to invoke the power of the relics, Gui Xuan suddenly raised his hand, and a greenish-black light immediately shot out before forming a giant turtle shell above Yun Lintian.

BOOM!

The massive number of hungry ghosts and the surge of the aura of death ruthlessly slammed onto the turtle shell. The howling and screaming noises were immediately replaced by an explosive sound.

Gui Xuan laughed joyfully, and the light at the tip of his little finger shone even brighter.

At that moment, the turtle shell rapidly expanded, enclosing all the hungry ghosts in the vicinity. Whenever the turtle shell passed through them, the hungry ghosts instantly became docile and stood still in place. Their ferocity had also disappeared.

Yun Lintian looked at the scene dumbfounded. He couldn’t understand what was happening at the moment.

Gui Xuan smiled and said. “Go… back.”

As his voice trailed off, a miraculous scene unfolded. All the hungry ghosts immediately turned around and returned to where they came from. A few breaths later, the hungry ghosts completely vanished from Yun Lintian’s sight.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

Gui Xuan clapped his hands happily. “Fun…”

Yun Lintian looked speechlessly at the little guy in his hand. Clearly, the fun part in Gui Xuan’s mouth should be how Yun Lintian desperately fought off the hungry ghosts…

At this moment, Yun Lintian recalled Lin Yitong’s words. The Black Turtle God was known as the Guardian of the Dead Souls. It was normal for Gui Xuan to command these hungry ghosts.

“Can you teach me?” Yun Lintian lifted Gui Xuan to eye level and asked with a serious expression.

Gui Xuan tilted his head in confusion. He didn’t seem to understand Yun Lintian’s question.

“Ah…” Yun Lintian sighed. “Sometimes, I believed that you were pretending to be stupid.” 𝓁𝑖𝑏𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Gui Xuan pointed his finger at Yun Lintian’s face and said. “Stupid.”

Yun Lintian laughed. “Now you understand what I am saying.”

He stowed away the seven swords and the Heaven Piercing Sword before surveying the surroundings.

“Do you know the direction? Where should we go next?” Yun Lintian asked after confirming that there were no hungry ghosts remaining.

The earlier battle made him lose his sense of direction. Coupled with the dense fog, he didn’t know where he should go.

Gui Xuan looked around briefly and then pointed to the right side. “Go…”

Yun Lintian raised his eyebrows slightly. Without further thought, he immediately moved in that direction.

After experiencing the horror, Yun Lintian became more cautious. He would periodically scan the surroundings using the Eyes of Heaven. Whenever he saw something moving, he immediately stopped and waited for it to approach.

However, there was nothing particularly noteworthy as he walked for an hour. There seemed to be something, but it would be gone every time he stopped in his tracks. It was quite bizarre.

Clatter…

Suddenly, a clattering sound echoed, causing Yun Lintian to stop in place. He felt goosebumps rise all over his body out of nowhere.

Zii—

At this moment, a strange sound, similar to white noise, resounded in the air.

Yun Lintian quickly activated the Eyes of Heaven and saw a sea of deathly aura quivering throughout the area.

The Heaven Piercing Sword appeared on his right arm. Yun Lintian was ready to fight as long as something appeared in front of him.

Woosh—

Suddenly, waves of dense, dark energy crashed onto Yun Lintian like a violent storm. Every surge of energy felt like the force of an ancient beast. Yun Lintian felt considerable pressure but did not sustain any injuries.

After learning the lesson, Yun Lintian didn’t hesitate to utilize the power of the Black Turtle God’s bloodline. A greenish-black turtle shell immediately appeared around him, perfectly blocking the energy storm.

Cold sweat appeared on Yun Lintian’s forehead as he constantly scanned his surroundings. He was afraid that something even more terrifying than the hungry ghost would jump out.

Boom!

All of a sudden, the originally empty space above Yun Lintian seemed to be stimulated by something and tore open. Simultaneously, a frigid, dark energy filled the air instantly.

A massive figure leaped out of the void and landed on the ground several meters away from Yun Lintian. It was a dark-

gold skeleton with a fierce and blood-drenched aura.

The sockets of its eyes gleamed with a dark reddish-black light, and it held a bone sword rusted with blood in its hand.

Before Yun Lintian could comprehend the situation, the skeleton suddenly appeared before him and slashed its sword, splitting the void directly.

Yun Lintian’s instincts kicked in. He didn’t hesitate to swing the Heaven Piercing Sword forward, creating a bright white arc in the air.

CLANG!

The two swords collided, producing a grating metallic sound as sparks flew out.

Both Skeleton and Yun Lintian were forced to retreat due to the impact. However, the skeleton regained its balance in an instant. It immediately charged at Yun Lintian again with a rumbling sound.

Yun Lintian stomped his right foot on the ground to regain his balance and swung his sword out again. This time, his aura surged violently as his entire body was covered with immense light energy.

BOOM—
