Myth Beyond Heaven



"Nine stages heavenly tribulation and a dragon soul?" Inside the garden, Ren Yuan listened to Chun Yue's report in surprise. "Where did he get the dragon soul from?"

Every dragon that reached the Divine Transformation Realm would form their very own dragon soul. It was a unique soul belonging to that dragon. Once it was gone, the dragon would die.

Throughout the Divine Realm's history, Ren Yuan had never heard of any mortal that possessed a dragon soul. Even if Yun Lintian inherited a dragon bloodline, it should be impossible for him to have a dragon soul.

Chun Yue frowned deeply while expressing her opinion. "Is it possible that there are other dragon gods besides the Dragon Princess?"

Ren Yuan took a sip of tea with a thoughtful expression. He was certain that no descendants of the Dragon God Clan were left behind besides Long Qingxuan. Otherwise, his people monitoring the world would have found it long ago.

"His dragon soul is very unique, unlike anything I've seen before." Chun Yue said further. 

As a number one maidservant of the Heavenly Desolate God Emperor, Chun Yue had encountered the entire dragon gods several times, and she could remember their auras well. The dragon soul Yun Lintian displayed didn't belong to any of those. It was unlikely that someone gave it to him.

"More importantly, his White Tiger God's bloodline is highly pure. I felt as if I faced the White Tiger God Bai Xiaoyun herself." Chun Yue said.

The more she thought, the further confused she became. The level of Yun Lintian's abnormality was several times higher than the Beyond Heaven King himself. It was as if everything that broke commonsense in the world gathered within his body.

Chun Yue looked at her master and asked cautiously. "Master, do you want to make a move now?"

Ren Yuan put the teacup down and looked at her. "Do I have to repeat it again?"

Chun Yue hurriedly knelt down and said frighteningly. "Chun Yue doesn't dare. Please forgive me."

Ren Yuan continued to look at her and said emotionlessly. "Yun Tian's successor is nothing but a bug that I can crush at any moment. Killing him too soon will affect my great plan. Since he showed the ability to fight those people, I should use him well. Don't you think so?"

"Yes, Master. Chun Yue is shortsighted." Chun Yue quickly replied.

"Get up." Ren Yuan said. "You have been by my side for a long time. This low-level mistake shouldn't happen. What's in your mind?"

Chun Yue didn't get up as she answered truthfully. "Chun Yue just wanted to eliminate his successor as soon as possible. There's nothing else."

Ren Yuan took a deep look at her and said. "No one in this world can kill me except myself. If I were to die, it would be in my own hand. Your worry is unnecessary."

Chun Yue bit her lips and said nothing. 

Ren Yuan turned to look at the night sky and said further. "In this life, I hope to stand above the various heavens and walk along the river of time. If I am doomed to fail, so be it. At least, I have tried."

Chun Yue lifted her head to look at the handsome man whose entire body exuded loneliness. The scene where they first met came to her mind. 

At that time, she was nothing but a dying little girl who lived in a slum, waiting to die. Ren Yuan was like the light from heaven, chasing away the darkness around her. It was at that moment she vowed to accompany this man to the final moment of her life.

She had witnessed everything about Ren Yuan's journey—from a weak young master to a top talented disciple of a sect all the way to proclaiming the Heavenly Desolate God Emperor's title himself. 

Chun Yue knew very well how difficult and lonely Ren Yuan was to reach this position. If possible, she wanted to eliminate every potential danger from his life. Even a tiny possibility must be dealt with. That was why she wanted to kill Yun Lintian as soon as possible.

"Find someone to investigate the disappearance of Shan Gusun. This kind of movement is highly similar to those Cloud Keepers." Ren Yuan suddenly said. "If it was them, sending their clues to those devils."

A strange light flashed through Chun Yue's eyes as she replied. "Understood."

***

Inside an ordinary hut on a mountain behind the Shen Clan manor, Yun Lintian, Wu Qingcheng, and Wu Liwei sat opposite Shen Huang, who was pouring cups of tea for them.

If anyone saw this scene, they would definitely go insane. A God Emperor actually poured a cup of tea for others. It was probably the first time in the Divine Realm's history.

Wu Qingcheng and Wu Liwei were rather nervous. They hadn't yet completely digested the huge information. Especially Wu Liwei. He couldn't understand how Yun Lintian managed to force the Shen Clan to bow their heads. No matter how heaven-defying Yun Lintian's strength was, it should be impossible, right? Not the mention that bizarre heavenly tribulation. What on earth exactly happened?

Meanwhile, Wu Qingcheng was relatively calmer compared to her father. She was deeply moved by Yun Lintian's actions and vowed to support him well after taking over the Shen Clan. Even if she had to send everyone to their death, she wouldn't hesitate in the slightest.

"There's no need to be nervous. I am your grandfather." Shen Huan distributed the teacups and said to Wu Qingcheng with a kind smile.

A strange feeling appeared in Wu Qingcheng's heart upon hearing this. In her entire life, she only had her father by her side. And now a grandfather took the initiative to recognize her, she didn't know how to react.

"Why are you giving in, Senior?" Yun Lintian took a sip of tea and asked. "I know you have many trump cards in your hand. It seems like you have already expected this result."

Yun Lintian thought it would take him to use every trump card to subdue the Shen Clan. Unexpectedly, Shen Huang gave in very quickly without even trying to resist.

"I'm old. I don't have much time left in me." Shen Huang replied with a smile. "This clan existed because of me, and it will be gone when I'm gone. You're the future and final investment I am betting on."

He looked at Wu Qingcheng and said meaningfully. "It would be perfect if you two have a child."

Wu Qingcheng and Yun Lintian were taken aback.

Yun Lintian suddenly thought of something and said. "So you're using me to establish an authority over her as well as forcing an outsider like Shan Jinhao away?"
