Myth Beyond Heaven

The terrifying phoenix flame was several times more powerful than the ones Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu faced earlier. Its heatwave immediately pushed them into the distance before the flame gradually transformed into a female human shape.

At this moment, Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu could feel their Divine Phoenix bloodline resonate with the fiery figure in front of them. It was like a soul connection between them.

When the flame went out, an illusory figure of a twelve-year-old-looking girl was revealed. The girl's height was somewhat similar to Hongyue and her long red hair spread down her body.

The lingering flame on her body had transformed into a fiery robe, wrapping around her petite body.

Her scarlet-colored eyes were fixated on Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu as if she was checking on them.

A moment later, she opened her mouth. "I didn't expect to meet the Beyond Heaven King's successor and my descendant here. It seems Heaven pities me a bit."

Her voice felt as pure and intangible as a clear spring that flowed through the center of one's heart, despite the scorching flame around her body.

"You are…?" Nantian Fengyu subconsciously asked.

Unlike Yun Lintian, she possessed a part of the Divine Phoenix's soul. Her sense of intimacy with the little girl in front of her was much higher than with him. Facing her, she felt as if she was looking at her long-lost relative.

"Me?… I have long forgotten my name." The girl said with a faint smile. Obviously, she didn't forget her name but rather chose to conceal it.

Her scarlet eyes stared at Nantian Fengyu briefly as she said. "You share the same soul with our Ancestor… Looks like everything we did back then was worth it."

Hearing this, Yun Lintian couldn't help asking. "Can you explain more, Senior? What exactly happened here?"

The young girl didn't reply and fell into a long period of silence instead. Her gaze wandered around the place, and Yun Lintian could see a hint of sorrow in it.

A moment later, she asked. "How much do you know about the past event?"

"Past event? You mean about the previous Beyond Heaven King's downfall?" Yun Lintian frowned slightly. "If that's the case, I have no idea."

The girl stared at Yun Lintian for a while and seemed to talk to herself. "I see… They are paving this path for you…."

"What path?" Yun Lintian was even more confused. "Senior hasn't answered my question."

"Since they don't want you to know too soon, I have no right to tell you about this." The girl said. "The only thing I can tell you is that the enemy is far stronger than you have imagined. Even if you have collected all the Beyond Heaven Relics, you may not be their opponent."

Yun Lintian's pupils shrank slightly. In fact, he wasn't surprised about this. After all, there were so many experts besides the previous Beyond Heaven King, yet they were forced to run. Obviously, the enemy was far stronger than them.

"Have you ever questioned yourself? Why did you become his successor?" The girl suddenly asked.

Yun Lintian nodded. "It is the first question I asked myself, and I have no way to find the answer. However, I have never viewed it as a burden or unfair fate. Instead, I treat it as an opportunity."

He paused briefly and said with a faint smile. "Throughout my life, I have learned one lesson, that is, the strong can do anything they want. The Beyond Heaven King's inheritance allows me to have a chance to protect my loved ones and friends. No matter what kind of trouble is waiting for me in the future, I am very grateful for this opportunity."

"Hence, that question doesn't bother me anymore."

The young girl said gently. "It's a good take… This is the Beyond Heaven King's guidance. He left no information for you because he has another plan. As for what the plan is, it will become clearer when you leave this world and step into the Divine Realm."

She paused for a moment and said with a serious expression. "I think you have to know this. The power of the Beyond Heaven King you now bear comes from his painstaking efforts. It doesn't derive from his own power directly."

"His power is different from the rest of the divine powers you've gotten. Although the divine power of the White Tiger God, the Divine Phoenix, the Vermilion Bird inside your body all came from the purest origin blood, they are nothing compared to his power."

"However, instead of creating the inheritance from his power directly, he has nurtured an entirely perfect set of the Beyond Heaven Profound Vein in you. It is also the complete and even better source of his power. The meaning it represents is completely different from the other divine powers you possess, including his own power."

Yun Lintian was stunned. He always thought all the Beyond Heaven Relics and profound veins were the same as the previous Beyond Heaven King had possessed. But now this young girl said the one he possessed currently was deriving from the Beyond Heaven King's meticulous creation?

Wouldn't this mean his power ceiling might even be better than the previous Beyond Heaven King's?

"Hongyue, what's going on?" Yun Lintian asked in his mind.

Hongyue looked at the young girl for a while and said. "What she said it's true. Your strength is, in fact, far stronger than him at the same level."

"So, these relics didn't exist in the first place but were created by him later?" Yun Lintian asked.

"Indeed," Hongyue replied calmly.

Yun Lintian couldn't help asking further. "Why don't you tell me earlier?"

He didn't understand why Hongyue and the others hid this matter from him. He wasn't angry or anything. It was just that he felt he had been lied to by close friends.

Hongyue curled her lips and said. "Since you know it now. Do you feel any difference?"

Yun Lintian opened his mouth, and no words came out in the end. That was right. Whether he knew it or not, he didn't change anything. The only possible he could think of was that Hongyue didn't want him to be overconfident.
