Myth Beyond Heaven



An azure-colored light lit up in Yun Lintian's right eye, while his left eye filled with a Phoenix flame. Vermilion flame surrounded Yun Lintian's body while purple-colored thunder sparks intertwined with it. These things came out on their own, and Yun Lintian couldn't control them.

The appearance of the four divine beasts' powers startled Shen Huang and the other two. Especially Shen Huang. This was his first time seeing the four divine powers inside one body. Even the Beyond Heaven King could never achieve this.

Yun Lintian circulated his divine energy, trying to calm the four divine powers down. It took him a full minute to return to normal.

"Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Divine Phoenix…" Shen Huang stared at Yun Lintian as if looking at a monster. "With this alone, you have already surpassed the Beyond Heaven King."

Yun Lintian asked in puzzlement. "What do you mean?"

Shen Huang said with a strange expression. "It seems you have no idea about him."

Yun Lintian shook his head. "To tell you the truth, I didn't even know what he looked like. All I know is his name."

Shen Huang went silent for a moment before explaining. "There must be a reason those around you don't want to tell you this. I'll respect their will. However, I can only tell you that the Beyond Heaven King didn't have any divine beast's bloodline in his body."

"Although you're not the first human that has integrated with a divine beast's bloodline, you're definitely the first and only one with multi-bloodlines inside your body, and all of them seem to coexist perfectly."

Yun Lintian was stunned. He always thought it was a normal thing for the Beyond Heaven King. After all, the power inside Yun Lintian's body was coming from the Beyond Heaven King's legacy… What happened here?

"Perhaps the Beyond Heaven King had never tried it?" Yun Lintian said in doubt. 

With how kind the Beyond Heaven King was, he definitely won't visit those divine beasts and ask for their Blood Origins. Perhaps this was why he didn't have multi-bloodlines like Yun Lintian.

Surprisingly, Shen Huang denied it. "He had tried it before. In those years, he kept finding a way to make humans inherit a divine beast's bloodline perfectly as he foresaw a danger."

"All you here should be aware that we humans are much inferior in physique and lifespan compared to those divine beasts. The Beyond Heaven King wanted to eliminate this weakness. Unfortunately, he ended up with a failure after countless tries."

Yun Lintian's brows raised slightly. Did the Beyond Heaven King commit a disgraceful act by forcibly taking those Blood Origins for his experiment? If it was the case, Yun Lintian would no longer respect him.

Shen Huang seemed to see through Yun Lintian's thoughts. He smiled and explained. "All of those divine beast's blood were voluntarily given by the divine beasts themselves. While humans have the weakness I said earlier, divine beasts also have their own weaknesses. It is very difficult for them to have a descendant. Especially a high-level one."

"Once humans could perfectly inherit divine beasts' bloodlines, the reproduction problem of the divine beasts would be fixed as humans are easier to have a descendant by nature."

Yun Lintian nodded slowly. He seemed to understand everything now. However, he still didn't know why the Beyond Heaven King couldn't inherit multi-bloodlines like him. And how could he do it then?

Since he came to this world, Yun Lintian had checked on himself many times and was certain that his physique was nothing special. He didn't have any "cheats" on his body except for the Beyond Heaven King's legacy… What made him special, then?

Moreover, whether it was the White Tiger God, Divine Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, or Azure Dragon God, all of them seemed to be aware that he could inherit their bloodlines with no problem… How did they know it?

Yun Lintian's brows knitted tightly. He felt there was a thin layer preventing him from knowing the answer. It was so close yet so far. This kind of feeling was extremely annoying.

A moment later, he shook his head and put this matter aside first. "Let's continue. What happened in the end? And how did the Beyond Heaven King fall?"

Shen Huang's expression became heavy as he said. "The battle between us and the Primordial God Tribe continued for a hundred years. We had exhausted every possible means of pushing them back. The fact that we could drag the battle for so long was already beyond a miracle."

"During that period, many people chose to submit to the enemy both directly and indirectly. In their opinion, the Beyond Heaven King and the other Seniors would definitely lose in the end. Hence, why didn't they yield to the enemy ahead of schedule?"

Yun Lintian, Wu Qingcheng, and Wu Liwei frowned deeply upon hearing this. Although these people's actions disgusted them, they could understand why they did it. For these people, it was nothing but a matter of changing a master. It wouldn't affect their lives much… Why would they give their lives away for nothing when they could avoid it?

"It was until one day, a leader of the Primordial God Tribe called Di Wu brought out a Primordial God Artifact, Heavenly Desolate Orb, to defeat us."

"The Heavenly Desolate Orb?" Yun Lintian interrupted with a look of shock on his face.

Shen Huang confirmed. "Yes. It's the Heavenly Desolate Orb in Ren Yuan's hand currently." 

"Hold on. Are you saying that the Heavenly Desolate Orb didn't exist before forty thousand years ago? Does this mean the Heavenly Desolate God Emperor appeared not long ago?" Yun Lintian asked in doubt.

"You're right." Shen Huang replied. "Before the war, Ren Yuan was originally a tenth-level Divine Emperor of an upper realm called Illusory Heaven Realm. His talent could be considered slightly above average at most, but his ambition was higher than heaven."

"He used every possible means to climb in the profound path. Even if he had to kill millions of innocent people, he didn't care about it at all. While he is indeed evil, I have to admire his perseverance."

Shen Huang paused briefly and said. "There are countless heavenly geniuses in this world, but most of them can't preserve their original intention and ambition. The higher they reached, the more relaxed they would become."
