Myth Beyond Heaven

"It's good that you're safe." The young man, Gu Chenlei, was relieved to see his junior sister safe and sound.

"Wasn't it because you dragged me here? How else would I confront these dangers?" Bai Xue pouted angrily.

Gu Chenlei scratched his head in embarrassment. "It's my fault, alright? I won't bring you around again next time."

"Hmph! "Let's leave this place first before we talk." Bai Xue snorted.

She extended her hand toward Yun Lintian and said. "This is Brother Ye Xiaolong. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to come here."

Gu Chenlei had witnessed everything earlier, so he naturally knew how powerful Yun Lintian was. He cupped his fists toward Yun Lintian and expressed his gratitude. "Thank you for helping my junior sister. Please forgive me for not having anything to repay you with."

Yun Lintian glanced at Gu Chenlei with a strange expression.

Gu Chenlei suddenly felt as if he were being stripped naked in front of Yun Lintian, causing his heart to tense up... Did he see through my true identity?

Yun Lintian turned to Bai Xue and said. "Since your senior brother is here, I will leave first."

Although she was reluctant to leave Yun Lintian, Bai Xue knew that she owed Yun Lintian more than she could repay at the moment. She bowed her head slightly and said. "Thank you again for everything. I wish you good luck, Brother Ye."

Yun Lintian took a deep look at her and sent a sound transmission to her. "Your disguise is good, but it will be useless in front of those Divine Emperors. Be careful."

With that, Yun Lintian set his sights on the next island ahead and leaped off, flying away.

Bai Xue stared at Yun Lintian in shock. His words were still lingering in her mind, and she couldn't understand how Yun Lintian saw through her identity.

"What's wrong, junior sister?" Gu Chenlei asked curiously.

"He... He saw through our identity." Bai Xue said through a sound transmission.

Gu Chenlei was stunned and turned to look at Yun Lintian in the distance, muttering in disbelief. "Can he actually see through our Master's disguise technique?"

Bai Xue nodded slowly. "He said that it would be useless in front of Divine Emperors. Could it be that he is a Divine Emperor?"

"It shouldn't be." Gu Chenlei quickly denied. "His strength is indeed at the first level of the Divine Tribulation Realm. There's no mistake about it."

"Who on earth is he?" Bai Xue muttered to herself.

At this moment, Yun Lintian casually attracted the clusters of star energy as he made his way toward the island in the far distance. When he previously used the Eyes of Heaven, he coincidentally glanced at Bai Xue and saw through her true appearance.

In fact, Bai Xue wasn't a human but a magical plant called Snow Flower, and Gu Chenlei was a Thunder Grass. Yun Lintian had read about a plant that had transformed into a practitioner before, but it was the first time he had seen one with his own eyes.

Perhaps it was because of the Tree of Life within his body that Yun Lintian chose to help Bai Xue.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Yun Lintian perceived a dreadful aura shooting down from above toward the island in his path ahead. Following that, a powerful blast of flame suddenly descended and engulfed the entire island in an instant.

BOOM!!

The island was engulfed in flames, and agonizing screams could be heard emanating from it.

At the same time, a figure emerged from the star field above the island. It was an old man dressed in red, with clusters of flames lingering around him.

Yun Lintian's brow raised slightly as he remembered that this person was Yang Zhen's protector… Why did he kill people here?

The old man turned around to look at Yun Lintian and pointed his finger at him. Instantly, the clusters of flames around his body shot toward Yun Lintian like fiery lances.

Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this. Without thinking further, he instinctively positioned himself to block the fire lances and deliberately allowed them to collide with his chest, engulfing his entire body in flames. At the same time, he quickly harnessed the power of the Sun to quell the flames.

Fortunately, the old man mistakenly believed that Yun Lintian was just an ordinary practitioner at the Divine Tribulation Realm. As a result, he only exerted ten percent of his strength in this attack. This made Yun Lintian dare to receive it.

In the next moment, Yun Lintian fell downward like a meteor, as if he were dead.

The old man scoffed and left upon seeing this. In his eyes, Yun Lintian couldn't be more dead.

"Ah!" On the island far away, Bai Xue exclaimed in horror. Her face turned deathly pale as she watched Yun Lintian fall like a dead leaf.

Gu Chenlei was at a loss on the side. He didn't know how to feel at the moment.

Just as the two were shocked, Yun Lintian suddenly stopped midair, and the flames around his body disappeared completely. Except for a burning wound on his chest, Yun Lintian was pretty much safe and sound.

Bai Xue and Gu Chenlei were dumbfounded by the scene… What was happening here?

Yun Lintian glanced in the direction the old man had left and quickly followed suit.

When Bai Xue and Gu Chenlei regained their senses, Yun Lintian had already vanished from their Divine Sense's range.

Both of them looked at each other in confusion… How could Yun Lintian survive the attack from the Divine Emperor?

Along the way, Yun Lintian saw several scattered islands everywhere. Evidently, they suffered from powerful attacks. He frowned deeply, trying to figure out what was going on here.

More and more fragmented islands came into Yun Lintian's view as he flew forward. Some survivors could be seen trying their best to avoid the traps in the star field, while others were completely helpless.

Upon witnessing this scene, Yun Lintian appeared to comprehend everything. When he stood on the island, the clusters of star energy showed no reaction, indicating that the island offered protection to everyone. Without the island, everyone would be directly exposed to the traps in the star field.

That old man probably wanted to destroy the islands so that other practitioners would not be able to reach the central island.

What is there?… Thought Yun Lintian as he stared at the island with the staircase piercing into the firmament above.

Without further hesitation, Yun Lintian swiftly maneuvered around the clusters and made his way toward the distant central island...
