Myth Beyond Heaven

Weilan Tian gradually calmed down and got up from the ground. He looked around and found the entrance that was blocked by a curtain of water behind him. More precisely, the water was blocked by an invisible wall, preventing it from entering the cave.

This scene startled him for a moment.

"This should be under the river?" Weilan Tian muttered to himself in doubt and reached his hand out to touch the water wall. He then discovered that his hand could penetrate it with no problem, which meant he could leave here if he wished. Perhaps he floated along with the current and accidentally arrived here.

Since the retreat route wasn't blocked, Weilan Tian decided to check this cave out. He used his Spiritual Sense to probe the dark path ahead and found nothing suspicious except a plain and cold passage.

Without thinking further, he took a step forward, walking along the path cautiously.

The further he went in, the weirder he felt in his heart. For some reason, he felt as though something was calling him from the end of the passage. This feeling made him raise his guard. At the same time, he was unable to resist the curiosity in his heart.

Soon, Weilan Tian arrived at a spacious space with a huge Azure Dragon statue in the middle. It was imposing and majestic to the point he wanted to kneel down in front of it.

Moreover, he had confirmed that the strange feeling he felt was clearly coming from this statue… What was this place?

While Weilan Tian was thinking, the eyes of the dragon suddenly lit up with azure-colored light, and an ancient voice sounded. "Welcome, a descendant of my Primordial Azure Dragon Clan."

Weilan Tian was shocked and hurriedly knelt down. "Junior Weilan Tian pays respect to Lord Azure Dragon."

The pair of gigantic eyes stared at Weilan Tian for a while and said. "You don't have to be nervous. I am a mere wisp of a residual soul left behind by the Primordial Azure Dragon that watches over this trial ground."

"Since I created this place, you are the first one to arrive here. Although you're a mortal that inherits my Primordial Azure Dragon God's bloodline, you're qualified to take the trial."

"If you are able to pass through the trial I left behind, I can grant you a droplet of Azure Dragon Origin Blood and let you become the real dragon. Are you willing?"

Weilan Tian's eyes shone with hope as he replied firmly. "I am willing."

"Very good. However, before starting, I have to remind you of one thing the consequence of the failing is death. Are you sure that you still want to take it?" The aged voice resounded.

Weilan Tian smiled when he heard this. He had almost died once. What was there to be afraid of?

He nodded and said firmly. "I am willing!"

The gigantic eyes fixated on Weilan Tian for a long while, and the aged voice resounded. "Let's start."

Suddenly, an azure spatial rift appeared before Weilan Tian. He then took a step into it after taking a deep breath and disappeared from the place, along with the rift.

Silence blanketed the space for a long while, and the aged voice could be heard talking to himself. "Strange. How did my bloodline appear here? Moreover, he isn't the Beyond Heaven King's successor… Could it be something happened to her?"

The voice was shaking slightly when he spoke the latter part. It could be seen that this wisp of residual soul was worried about someone.

On the Moon Garden, Yun Lintian started consolidating his power by having a sparring match with Long Shen. Although Long Shen wasn't as strong as Yun Xia, he was undoubtedly one of the strongest in this Azure World.

Boom!

Yun Lintian was forced to retreat after receiving Long Shen's powerful kick. His arms which were used to block the kick went numb instantly.

Long Shen looked at Yun Lintian with admiration. He used thirty percent of his strength on this kick, yet Yun Lintian could actually take it at ease without suffering any injury. This startled him, who inherited the Golden Dragon bloodline, for a moment. If it was any ordinary monarch, his arms would be broken by now.

Yun Lintian shook his arms to get rid of the numbness and said. "Looks like my physique has yet comparable to the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm expert's."

He took a deep breath, and his profound energy gradually condensed on his hand. "Next, let's test the profound strength."

Long Shen stood calmly and said. "Come."

"Be careful. I will go full force." Yun Lintian took a step forward, and his figure immediately arrived before Long Shen. At the same time, he didn't hesitate to launch the Dragon Fist with everything he had.

The space between them distorted violently as Yun Lintian's entire arm morphed into a huge fire dragon.

Long Shen's expression turned solemn. He didn't dare to be careless and released more than eighty percent of his power to block the incoming fist.

BOOOOM!

The cluster fire dragon shot toward Long Shen, who was opening his palm, welcoming it. With a loud boom that immediately shattered the protective barrier around the place, Long Shen was forced to retreat several steps before the moment tum of Yun Lintian's attack subsided.

His sleeves were burnt to his shoulder, and his arm bent in a strange shape. Obviously, his bone was broken.

Long Shen's forehead was covered with sweat. This was the first time in several centuries that he faced such an intense attack.

However, he didn't seem to be in pain at all. On the contrary, the admiration in his eyes grew further as he looked at Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian retracted his fist while panting heavily. He glanced at Long Shen's broken arm and said apologetically. "I'm sorry, senior. Please wait a minute. I will heal you."

As he spoke, he quickly stuffed a handful of energy-recovering pills into his mouth and sat on the ground, trying to regenerate his profound energy.

Long Shen laughed and said. "It's not a big deal… Judging from this, your strength could be compared to any high level of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm's powerhouses. I believe those middle-level ones are not a threat to you now."
