Myth Beyond Heaven

“Die…” Lin Tianyun spat coldly and tightened his grip, causing Lan Xingwu’s face to turn blue.

Ka-cha!

Lan Xingwu’s neck was broken, and he lost his last breath directly. His eyes were full of horror and fear until the last moment of his life.

The broken sound woke Hong Chen up from the trance, reminding him that he wasn’t dreaming right now. However, even if he was aware of this, he was unable to move an inch. His body didn’t seem to listen to him anymore.

Lin Tianyun threw Lan Xingwu’s lifeless body away and walked toward Hong Chen. Every step he took caused Hong Chen’s heart to tremble violently.

When Lin Tianyun arrived before Hong Chen, he stared straight into Hong Chen’s eyes and remained silent. However, Hong Chen could clearly see the resentment and boundless anger in the depth of his eyes… He knew that his last moment had come.

Hong Chen calmed down instantly. Since he couldn’t escape today, there was no point in struggling further.

He took a deep breath and said. “I’m trying to make an excuse, but I didn’t mean to hurt her. You should be aware of it… I know this is my mistake and will pay with my life. However, before I die, I want to confirm one thing… Have Devil Sovereign already gone?”

Lin Tianyun stared at him for a long while and uttered coldly. “He had already paid the price.”

Hearing this, Hong Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded his head and said. “Go ahead.”

Lin Tianyun stretched his finger out, and a golden flame could be seen on the tip of the finger.

At this moment, Hong Chen’s aura suddenly surged, and his entire body abruptly turned into a crimson flame. He stepped forward and slammed his body into Lin Tianyun. “Go to hell!”

Lin Tianyun’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. He merely poked his finger at Hong Chen, and a golden flame fiercely burst out, completely swallowing Hong Chen.

“Ah… Arghhhh!!” Hong Chen let out a miserable cry that reverberated throughout the mountain range. The horrible scream caused Qin Ye and others at the foot of the mountain to shiver involuntarily.

“W-what is that sound?” Lin Musong quivered in fright.

Lin Mucheng’s face turned ashen. He was afraid it was Lin Qianxue who did this.

“Let’s go. We need to hurry up.” Qin Ye came back to his sense and urged everyone to move faster. Even though everyone was frightened by the sound, they couldn’t disobey their young master and hurriedly rushed forward.

“Grandma…” Lin Ling’er said cautiously. In her opinion, it was not a good choice to go over there at this moment.

Lin You waved her hand and said calmly. “Move.”

Lin Ling’er shut her mouth and quickly followed Lin You.

Meanwhile, Lin Mucheng and Lin Musong hesitated briefly and gritted their teeth, following Lin You.

Hong Chen’s miserable scream lasted for a full minute until he completely turned into ashes.

Lin Tianyun retracted his finger and turned around, slowly walking toward Lin Qianxue. His killing intent was wholly vanished and replaced with endless grief.

He knelt beside her and reached his trembling hands out to pick her body up. “Mom…”

Lin Qianxue’s breath was extremely faint. When she heard Lin Tianyun’s voice, it was as though her strength had recovered instantly. She opened her eyes to look at her son and tried to give him the best smile. “It’s good that you’re safe….”

Seeing her appearance, two streaks of bloody tears poured out of Lin Tianyun’s eyes like a broken dam. He blamed himself for everything. If he didn’t naively come to this place, everything today wouldn’t happen. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

“I’m sorry, mom. It was me who hurt you.” Lin Tianyun hugged Lin Qianxue tightly. His heart was filled with guilt that could never be erased for the rest of his life.

“Don’t blame yourself. It’s not your fault. Mom knows that you want to help mom.” Lin Qianxue’s smile was full of tenderness. She gently patted her son’s back like a mother who coaxed her baby. “Can you promise me one thing? You have to live on, alright?”

There were countless words she wanted to tell him, but Lin Qianxue knew her time was running out.

“Mom…” Lin Tianyun choked in tears.

“Promise me!” Lin Qianxue hardened her voice.

“Yes, I promise you, mom! I will live on.” Lin Tianyun hurriedly responded.

“Good boy.” Lin Qianxue was satisfied with his answer. She left his embrace and gently wiped the blood out of his cheeks. “In the future, you must protect people you love, understand? Don’t let them suffer.”

“Mhm!” Lin Tianyun nodded his head in difficulty.

“Cough!” Lin Qianxue spat a mouthful of blood, and her face turned pale as a white sheet.

“Mom!” Lin Tianyun was frightened. He hurriedly scanned the Devil Sovereign’s storage ring and took a healing pill out. “Mom takes this!”

Lin Qianxue shook her head with a smile. “It’s useless. Save it for yourself.” As she spoke, she coughed up another blood. “It seems mom has to go now… Remember, mom will always be with you….”

“No! Mom! I don’t want you to go!… Mom!” Lin Tianyun was panicked as he saw Lin Qianxue slowly close her eyes, and her breath gradually weakened until it stopped.

“Ugh… Ah… Arghhhhh!!” Lin Tianyun hugged Lin Qianxue tightly and let out a mournful cry.

***

Four months passed by since Yun Lintian started absorbing the Tree of Life. During this period, Du Huanfeng appeared outside of the village from time to time. However, no matter how he tried, he was unable to break the formations Yun Lintian set up.

“Hmph! Do you think these formations could protect you forever? Wait until your Profound Stones are exhausted, and we will see.” Outside of the village, Du Huanfeng stared coldly at Mu Qiuxue and Guchang. His face was gloomy, as he was upset by the current situation.

Mu Qiuxue and Guchang looked at him coldly and said nothing. There were countless times they wanted to go out and fight with Du Huanfeng, but they knew it was not a wise choice.

“Continue!” Seeing they didn’t say anything, Du Huanfeng was angry and shouted at his subordinates.

Du San and others didn’t dare to be neglected. They quickly condensed profound energy and sent it toward the village.

Rumble—

The exceptionally thick golden barrier appeared above the village, and all the attacks were directly blocked. Asides from a slight shake, their attacks couldn’t do anything to the village.
