Myth Beyond Heaven

“What did you say!? She can float in the air? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?” In the Lin family manor, Lin Mucheng looked at his son in disbelief.

“Yes, father. How could I make a mistake? You can ask Lin Kang and Lin Chi. They saw it, too.” Lin Musong said with an ashen expression. “What should we do now, father? We have harassed her time after time. She… She will definitely kill us!”

Lin Mucheng’s face twitched. Blue veins could be seen on his forehead clearly. He knew that Lin Musong’s statement wasn’t farfetched at all. He had to do something now.

“What about her son? Was it your deed?” Lin Mucheng hurriedly asked.

Lin Musong shook his head frantically. “No! I admit that I indeed had a plan, but he encountered an accident first before I could do anything.”

“That’s good.” Lin Mucheng breathed a sigh of relief. At least, there was still room to make amends. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said. “Go and call those elders. We have to find Lin Tianyun as soon as possible.”

“Ah?… Yes.” Lin Musong seemed to understand and quickly went out.

Meanwhile, Lin Mucheng thought for a moment and headed toward his mother’s courtyard.

In the cave, Lin Tianyun’s skin turned blue from the cold. He became a little skinny, different from a few days ago. During these days, he didn’t know how many times he had attempted to enter the pond. The best record he could do was twenty meters from the shore. There were around three hundred meters left to reach the Frozen Heart Lotus.

Lin Tianyun was sitting near the Devil Sovereign’s skeleton and flipped through the book repeatedly. Besides the initial writings, there were some profound techniques in it.

The most notable one was the body profound technique called “Devil Transformation Technique” It was said to boost the practitioner’s body and transform it into a unique body called “Eternal Devil Physique.”

Before this, Lin Tianyun hesitated for a long while and decided to try it out since he had no other way. What surprised him was that the profound technique seemed to be tailor-made for him. He had only studied for two days yet fully stepped into the first stage. That was why he could walk twenty meters distance in the pond.

“Let’s try it again!” Lin Tianyun put the book away and started practicing strange postures according to the Devil Transformation Technique. The blue color on his skin gradually dissipated as he continued to practice, and a warm sensation immediately flushed throughout his body.

What Lin Tianyun didn’t notice was a strange black aura gradually appeared behind his head. It gave off a sinister feeling that easily disgusted people.

Lin Tianyun continued for an hour until he felt he was ready to challenge once again.

He walked toward the pond, taking a deep breath before jumping as far as he could.

Thump!

Upon landing in the icy pond, the familiarly terrifying cold immediately pierced his body. However, this time, he could endure it just fine.

Lin Tianyun didn’t waste his time. He used his strength to move forward as fast as he could. Ten meters… Twenty meters… fifty meters… one hundred meters. Lin Tianyun’s heart was filled with joy when he discovered the cold in the pond wasn’t a threat to him now.

His eyes firmly locked onto the ice lotus floating peacefully in the middle of the pond. His face became determined as he continued to steadily move toward it.

A few minutes later, Lin Tianyun gradually arrived ten meters away from the Frozen Heart Lotus. He didn’t care about anything else and exerted all his strength on his legs. Immediately, his body shot forward as he reached his hand out to firmly catch the lotus.

“Hahaha! I got it!” Lin Tianyun was overjoyed and couldn’t help but blurt out loudly.

However, he was completely unaware of a trace of shadow beneath his feet. The chest lying still under the Frozen Heart Lotus suddenly opened, and a black mist gradually crept out, swarming toward Lin Tianyun.

At this moment, Lin Tianyun abruptly noticed it. He startled for a second and hurriedly swam toward the shore with all his might. 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝗲𝐥．𝗰𝗼𝐦

Unfortunately, he had spent a lot of strength by coming this far. He was unable to outpace the black mist and was caught by it.

The black mist immediately seeped into Lin Tianyun’s body, and he felt like there were thousands of needles piercing his soul. Lin Tianyun’s entire body began to twitch strangely for a long while and completely stood still in the place.

“Jiejiejie… What an excellent body. No wonder he could enter the first stage this fast.” A moment later, Lin Tianyun’s voice was utterly changed. There was a single trace of the previous immature voice. It was thoroughly replaced by a devilish voice.

He looked around for a moment and grinned. “Those bastards, you better wash your necks and wait for me. I, Devil Sovereign, have returned now!”

Outside of the cave, four figures were floating above the Eternal Cold Mountain Range. Each of them was extremely old as their hair had turned completely white. Just by a glance, one could see each one possessed a terrifying power.

“Are you sure you have perceived that fiend’s aura here?” An old man in an azure robe said with a frown.

“Are you doubting me?” An old man in white with a long sword behind his back said sternly.

“Of course, no one here doubts you. We just feel it’s too incredible. After all, that fiend had been disappearing for a few hundred years.” An old man looked like a scholar said while stroking his long beard.

“Hmm?” All of a sudden, an old man in a red robe frowned slightly and looked in the east direction. “There’s a little lass flying toward us. Who could she be?”

Hearing this, everyone followed the red-robed old man’s gaze and saw a beautiful figure flying toward them at full speed. This person was no other than Lin Qianxue.

“This aura… A Divine Moon Palace’s disciple?” The scholar-looking old man said in surprise. Why would a disciple of the famous palace appear here?

Just as everyone was in doubt, their expressions abruptly changed when they perceived a devilish aura from below.

They glanced at each other and said in unison. “Devil Sovereign!”
