Myth Beyond Heaven

However, the sky suddenly turned dark before Shen Mingjun, and the others could comprehend the situation. Black clouds quickly gathered, accompanied by thunder roarings, as if the world was about to end.

"Heavenly Tribulation?" Shen Mingjun was familiar with such a phenomenon.

"That's not right. This aura is too…." On the side, Shen Qian's expression turned solemn. She was an early-level Divine Ascending Tribulation expert herself. The pressure that built up in the sky was entirely different from the one she knew. It was several times scarier.

"World Annihilating Tribulation!?" Shen De blurted out, causing everyone in the hall to petrify on the spot.

According to the legend, once the World Annihilating Tribulation appeared, no one in the radius could possibly survive. Was their Shen Clan going to die today?

"What on earth is going on over there!?" Shen De looked in the library's direction as it seemed to be the center of the tribulation.

During this past month, there was no movement from the library, and Shen Ning's power was too strong, preventing everyone from going closer. Hence, they had no idea what was happening inside.

On the other side of the manor, Yun Qianxue, Han Bingling, Lin Xinyao, Mu Qiuxue, and Yun Lingwei looked at the sky in surprise. If there was anyone familiar with this scene, it must be them.

"Lintian's strength has improved again?" Han Bingling said in astonishment.

Yun Qianxue didn't say anything. Her figure vanished from the place, rushing toward the library.

Seeing this, Han Bingling and the others quickly followed suit.

At this moment, on the top floor of the library building, the ice layers on Yun Lintian's body gradually cracked, releasing ice mists. His fingers slowly moved. Clearly, he was about to regain his mobility after becoming an ice statue for a whole month.

During this period, he had entered a wonderful state, forgetting everything around him and madly absorbing a new source of power that flushed into his body. This power belonged to the mysterious woman on the throne. It was extremely cold and abundant, causing Yun Lintian's profound vein to expand again.

At the same time, his profound strength had improved drastically. From the third level of the Monarch Profound Realm to the peak level in one fell swoop. Another half step would be enough for him to reach the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm.

Crackle—

All the ice layers on Yun Lintian's body finally shattered into pieces, and he immediately regained consciousness.

Feeling the vigorous power in his body, Yun Lintian's face was full of astonishment. He subconsciously looked toward the throne, and the woman's figure was still there.

"Your profound vein is very strange. I have never seen such a thing before." The woman suddenly spoke. "Although the power I left behind is only one-tenth, it is enough to make one reach the peak of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm. However, it could only increase seven levels for you."

Yun Lintian took a deep breath and bowed his head slightly. "Thank you, Senior. I will try my best to live up to Senior's expectation."

Rumble—

All of a sudden, the sky roared, and several purple lightning bolts descended. This scene immediately made Shen Mingjun and the others turn pale. The power inside these lightning bolts could easily destroy them in one go. How were they going to resist it?

However, before the lightning bolts could reach the ground, the woman's incomparably cold voice suddenly echoed throughout the island.

"Scram!"

BOOOOOM!

A powerful force abruptly burst out from the top of the library building, sweeping over the entire sky. All the lightning bolts were blasted away and disappeared completely.

At the same time, the dark clouds in the sky instantly dispersed as if they were running for their lives.

In that split second, the sky returned to its original clear and bright state as if nothing had happened before. This scene immediately dumbfounded everyone below.

Yun Lintian, who had just comprehended the situation, looked at the woman behind the ice curtain in shock. He was aware that she was very strong, but he didn't expect to be to this extent. She could actually chase the Heavenly Tribulation away with just one word!

"Your existence has violated the Heavenly Laws, which is understandable judging by your talent." The woman said calmly. "However, the laws are the laws, after all. It can be violated as long as you have enough strength."

Yun Lintian swallowed in shock. Her words immediately refreshed his knowledge.

"I don't know if your current strength is enough to change the fate of this world." The woman said further. "Unfortunately, my power is limited. I cannot see the further future. I have no way to guide you. You have to rely on yourself for this."

"What Senior gave me is more than enough. As for glimpsing into the future, honestly, I don't believe in such a thing. To me, the future can be changed by the present action. It's not something predictable." Yun Lintian said with a serious expression.

"You're right…." The woman said. "It's time for me to go. Remember, you have to destroy both spatial tunnels completely. There's no other way."

Yun Lintian nodded heavily. "Understood, Senior."

He hesitated briefly and asked. "May I know if Senior is still alive somewhere?"

"Me?" The woman said softly. The coldness in her voice seemed to lessen several degrees as she said further. "I can be alive and dead. It depends on how you look at it."

For some reason, Yun Lintian felt that she was smiling at him.

"Farewell, Yun Lintian." As the woman's voice fell, a cold wind suddenly swept over, and the ice particles madly jumped around before everything gradually disappeared.

Soon, Yun Lintian found himself standing on an empty floor. The ice throne was nowhere to be seen now.

"Wait… How did she know my name?" Yun Lintian suddenly realized this.

From the beginning to the end, he hadn't introduced himself once. How did she know his name?

"What happens? Why did the connection disappear for a whole month? And who are you talking about?" Hongyue's voice suddenly resounded in Yun Lintian's mind.

During this period, she tried her best to contact him, but the connection between the Land of Beyond Heaven and him was somehow blocked by an invisible force she couldn't do anything about.

Yun Lintian returned to his sense and slowly told her about what had just happened.

"A strange woman that can scare the Heavenly Tribulation away?" Hongyue was surprised to hear this.
