Myth Beyond Heaven

”Weird. There is no snow here?” Yun Lintian looked around in puzzlement.

He just arrived at the perimeter of the Spring Wind Nation with Yun Huanxin and found this place did not have snow at all. On the contrary, there was a gentle spring breeze from time to time.

”So it’s really ’Spring Wind,’ huh?” Yun Lintian didn’t expect this place would be true as its name.

Yun Huanxin was wondered as well. This was the first time she came across the Spring Wind Nation. Hence, she didn’t know anything about this place at all.

The place they were currently standing right now was a plain area with some ancient trees. The ground was entirely filled with rock, but it wasn’t hard for a carriage to move along. Yun Lintian could hear a gurgling sound drifting along with the wind from time to time. Without a doubt, there must be a river nearby.

Roar!

Just as Yun Lintian and Yun Huanxin were about to move, suddenly, a loud roar came from afar along with a huge shadow running toward them.

”Stone Rhino? Peak Essence Profound Beast.” Yun Huanxin used her Spiritual Sense to check the identity of the incoming figure.

Yun Lintian’s eyes fixated on the three meters long rhino with stoned skins and said, ”Leave it to me. I want to test my strength a bit.”

Yun Huanxin retracted her hand that was about to take a shot at the rhino and spread her Spiritual Sense out to check the surroundings in case there were others nearby.

”Roar!” The Stone Rhino roared angrily and charged at Yun Lintian, aiming its horn at him.

Yun Lintian stomped one foot on the ground to stabilize his body firmly while gathering profound energy on his right fist.

When the Stone Rhino was about to hit him, Yun Lintian let out a battle cry and executed the Dragon Fist at the Stone Rhino’s head.

Boom!

Yun Lintian’s fist collided with the Stone Rhino’s head and immediately sent it away several meters with a long trail of blood flowing out of its head. Meanwhile, Yun Lintian didn’t even move an inch from the spot.

Yun Huanxin was surprised when she saw this. The Stone Rhino was famous for its defensive ability, but Yun Lintian only used a small portion of his strength to send it away. It was clear Yun Lintian’s current strength had already reached the peak of Essence Profound Realm.

Yun Lintian did not just stand still on the place. He quickly used the Shadow Step to approach the Stone Rhino and sent another Dragon Fist on its head. This time, Yun Lintian didn’t stop as one punch. He continued to hit one after another until the Stone Rhino’s head was shattered into pieces, lying motionless on the ground.

Yun Lintian retracted his fist and exhaled. He looked at the Stone Rhino’s remains with doubt before he said, ”If I remember correctly, the Stone Rhino has a mild personality in nature. Why would it attack us as if its life is on the line?”

Typically, the profound beasts were extremely frenzied in nature. If they saw a human, they would pounce and assault that person as if they were enemies who could never co-exist under the same sky. However, there were also some profound beasts with a mild personalities, and the Stone Rhino was one of them.

”This is probably the profound beast tide that Ye Xiaolong said.” Yun Huanxin arrived at his side and checked on the Stone Rhino’s remains.

Yun Lintian squat down to find a clue on the Stone Rhino’s remains, but he found nothing in the end. He thought for a moment and decided to try with the Eyes of Heaven.

Yun Lintian closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, his pupils had turned entirely golden. He stared at the Stone Rhino and suddenly found a small black dot within the Stone Rhino’s heart.

”What is this?” Yun Lintian said after picking the Stone Rhino’s heart out.

He used a silver knife in his hand to poke the small dot he saw. In the next moment, a terrifying scene occurred as the silver knife suddenly turned red before it melted, causing Yun Lintian to throw it away.

”What the hell?” Yun Lintian was shocked. One had to know the silver knife was made of essence iron, easily withstand high temperature and acid. But this small black dot managed to melt it so easily.

”What did you see?” Yun Huanxin asked as she didn’t see the tiny black dot-like Yun Lintian. However, she could feel a terrifying power within the Stone Rhino’s heart earlier.

Yun Lintian shook his head and said, ”I don’t know as well. There is a trace of unknown energy within this heart… It’s too strange. While it could melt the essence iron, it didn’t harm the Stone Rhino’s heart at all.”

Yun Huanxin frowned and used her Spiritual Sense to recheck the heart, but she could not find anything at all… What kind of energy is this? My Spiritual Sense actually could not detect it.

Yun Lintian hesitated for a moment before he stored the Stone Rhino remains away along with its heart.

”We will find out later. Let’s find a secluded place first.” Yun Lintian said and immediately set off in the river’s direction.

Along the way, Yun Lintian and Yun Huanxin were constantly attacked by several profound beasts, but all of them were only the peak Essence Profound Beast which Yun Lintian had no problem dealing with them.

The small black energy could be seen in every single one of the profound beast, causing Yun Lintian to frown deeper. It was a pity. Back then, he didn’t have the Eyes of Heaven ability. Otherwise, he would know whether there was this black energy within those wilted crops.

As they continued to move forward, the number of profound beasts were gradually increased, and not a single person could be seen around this place.

”Strange. We haven’t met anyone so far. Where are they going?” Yun Lintian was confused. Although the nation’s size was enormous, Yun Lintian didn’t believe he won’t encounter a single person around this place. Significantly, the profound beast in this place wasn’t strong. It could be a paradise for some practitioners if they wanted to earn money.
