Myth Beyond Heaven

The moment he stepped into the passage, Yun Lintian was hit by a wave of scorching heat, causing him to subconsciously utilize his profound energy to protect himself and Linlin.

On the side, Nantian Fengyu frowned slightly and waved her hand, instantly dispersing the heatwave.

She turned to look at Yun Lintian and asked curiously. “Junior Brother, what’s your other divine bloodline aside from the White Tiger bloodline? How come the Divine Phoenix Mother Tree shows hostility toward you?”

When she heard Nantian Xiulan say something about the dual divine bloodline in Yun Lintian’s body, she had always been curious about it. As far as she knew, the little guy on Yun Lintian’s shoulder was the legendary White Tiger. What could another bloodline possibly be?

“Well, I’ll show you.” Yun Lintian thought for a moment and opened his palm. A green fireball appeared on it, emitting a gentle yet assertive aura.

“It’s really the Vermilion Bird flame.” Walking in the front, Nantian Xuanyu exclaimed in astonishment. “So, the rumor is true. It was said there was the Vermilion Bird legacy left behind on the Western Continent.”

Nantian Fengyu stared attentively at the green fireball in Yun Lintian’s palm. A hostile feeling emerged deep in her soul. It wasn’t a feeling when you met a mortal enemy but a rival.

“Junior Brother, I don’t like you anymore.” Nantian Fengyu suddenly said with a serious expression.

“…” Yun Lintian was rendered speechless.

Seeing this scene, Nantian Xuanyu laughed gently. “According to the record, the relationships between Lord Divine Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, and Golden Crow were like friends and rivals. It seems to be true.” ．𝙘𝙤𝙢

“Come.” Nantian Xuanyu said and walked further, followed by Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu.

Soon, they arrived at a valley protected by several Divine Phoenix Palace experts. This place was a sealed space with a large bronze gate placed before a translucent crimson barrier.

“See the Palace Master.” The guards quickly saluted upon seeing Nantian Xuanyu.

Nantian Xuanyu nodded and waved her hand. “You all step out first and wait at the entrance. No one allows to enter without my permission.”

“Yes, Palace Master!” The guards immediately walked away, leaving the three behind.

Nantian Xuanyu looked at Yun Lintian and explained. “This is our Ancestral Land. Normally, we would never open it to any outsider. You are the first one to come here.”

Yun Lintian observed the giant bronze gate carefully. Judging by the runes on it, Yun Lintian could roughly guess it was coming from an ancient era that didn’t belong to this world.

Creak!

Nantian Xuanyu touched the gate and slowly opened it. This time, a heatwave was stronger than before, causing Yun Lintian to increase his protection.

“Come in.” Nantian Xuanyu said and brought Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu into the gate.

As they entered, Yun Lintian discovered this was a completely different world. There was a grand mountain valley filled with exotic fiery flowers everywhere. At the center, a colossus parasol tree cloaked in blazing yet gorgeous flames could be seen standing tall, emitting an incomparably scorching heat. Just standing here, Yun Lintian felt as though he was about to be burnt alive.

“Your affinity with the fire element seems more extraordinary than I thought.” Nantian Xuanyu was surprised to see Yun Lintian was fine.

“Is that the Divine Phoenix Mother Tree?” Yun Lintian asked curiously.

“Yes. This is the origin of the Divine Phoenix bloodline in our bodies.” Nantian Xuanyu said calmly. “As you can see, its vitality is declining every second. I don’t know whether your Tree of Life would work on it, but please help us.”

Her voice was filled with genuine sincerity, making Yun Lintian feel embarrassed if he refused her.

“I’ll try my best.” Yun Lintian didn’t dare to guarantee the result.

“Thank you. As I said before, we will stand on your side no matter what.” Nantian Xuanyu said solemnly.

Yun Lintian nodded and said. “Can I go directly?”

Before Nantian Xuanyu could say anything, Nantian Fengyu suddenly grabbed Yun Lintian’s hand and dragged him toward the Mother Tree. “I’ll send you there.”

As the two drew closer, the heat was getting stronger. However, with Nantian Fengyu’s help, Yun Lintian was able to reach the Mother Tree with no difficulty in a short minute.

Standing at the foot of the Mother Tree, Yun Lintian glanced upward to look at the enigmatic scene in awe. At this moment, every piece of parasol leaf crackling with flames was incomparably gigantic, yet it contained a sense of grandeur, like the legendary phoenix’s feathers.

As if it perceived Yun Lintian’s arrival, the Divine Phoenix Mother Tree suddenly swayed and sent several fiery leaves toward him, forming a rain of fire arrows.

However, Yun Lintian didn’t feel any trace of malice or killing intent from it. Perhaps the Mother Tree wanted to test his ability.

“Leave it to me, Fifth Sister.” Yun Lintian quickly stopped Nantian Fengyu, who was about to make a move and stepped forward to face the storm of fire arrows.

Yun Lintian suddenly retracted the protective barrier around him and summoned the Vermilion Bird flames. Instantly, a gigantic fiery Vermilion Bird flew out of his body and floated behind him, looking at the Mother Tree coldly.

Scree—

The Vermilion Bird released a mighty cry, followed by a vortex of greenish flames appearing before Yun Lintian. The flame vortex wholly swallowed all the fire arrows into it and abruptly rushed straight to the Mother Tree.

The flames on the Mother Tree swayed fiercely, and a majestic Divine Phoenix suddenly flew out, letting out an ear-piercing cry before sending countless fiery feathers toward the incoming vortex.

Boom!

The two mighty powers crashed violently, producing a deafening explosion reverberating throughout the entire Ancestral Land.

As the fiery feathers and the vortex disappeared, the Vermilion Bird and the Divine Phoenix stared at each other coldly, as if they wanted to eat the opposite party alive.

Yun Lintian took a step forward and said respectfully. “Greetings, Lord Divine Phoenix. This junior is Yun Lintian. I am here to help you.”

The Divine Phoenix cast its sharp gaze over Yun Lintian and paused at him for a long time.

“To have two divine bloodlines in one body is really something… In the Primordial Era, there was one person who could achieve this… So, you’re the Beyond Heaven King’s successor?” A cold female voice suddenly resounded.
