Myth Beyond Heaven

Kun’s eyes narrowed slightly. He stomped one foot on the ground, creating a terrifying crack as he swung his fist toward Yun Lintian, intending to crash head-on.

Boom!

Two fists collided, forcing the two to retreat.

Kun’s face lit up with excitement. It was the first time he encountered a human with such a powerful physique.

He stepped forward, letting out a battle cry, and sent out another punch ahead.

Yun Lintian’s entire right arm lit up with purple lightning coiling like a dragon as he stuck his fist out, welcoming Kun’s punch.

Boom!

Two fists collided once again. This time, both of them were sent flying several meters before landing on the ground steadily.

“You are really strong. Let’s see if you can handle this.” Kun’s eyes lit up with fighting spirits.

His muscles bulged up. His aura soared toward the sky, causing several surrounding ancient trees to break apart.

Kun’s pupils radiated dangerous red lights, looking extremely scary. In the next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Suddenly, Yun Lintian was covered by a vast shadow. He quickly turned around and saw Kun slam both fists at him.

Instead of using the Shadow Step to avoid the attack, he chose to stabilize himself firmly on the place, letting out a roar and punching out with all his might, followed by a blazing Phoenix Flame.

Boom!

The ground beneath Yun Lintian cracks, transforming into a huge crater. Debris and clouds of dust flew all over the place.

“Cough!” Yun Lintian coughed up a mouthful of blood. He felt like he was being hit by a truck as his fist collided with Kun’s, causing his entire being to tremble.

However, he managed to stop Kun’s attack and forced the latter to retreat several meters.

This round of the battle of physique ended up drawing again!

Kun glanced at his bent right arm and used his other hand to twist the bone back in place as if nothing had happened.

He looked at Yun Lintian and said. “You won.”

Yun Lintian wiped the bloodstain out of the corner of his mouth and said. “No. It’s a draw.”

He took out a bottle of healing pills and threw it at Kun. “Take this.”

Kun opened the bottle and sniffed a few times before pouring the pills into his mouth and chewing them like he was eating a snack.

Yun Lintian then took a few jars of wine and a large bucket before pouring wine into it. “Have a drink?”

Kun wasn’t polite. He walked up and sat on the ground beside Yun Lintian before taking a sip from the bucket.

“Good wine!” His eyes lit up with delight.

Yun Lintian also took a sip of wine to wash the bloody taste in his mouth and asked. “How long have you been here, Senior?”

“Don’t call me a senior. Call my name directly.” Kun took another sip and said. “As far as I remember, it should be more than two thousand years now.”

“Have you ever tried to leave this place?” Yun Lintian asked further.

Kun laughed as he answered. “Who doesn’t want to leave here? The restriction in this place not only prevents us from leaving but also stops us from taking a further step in the profound path. Our profound strength can only be limited at the peak of the Saint Profound Realm. Without strength, it is impossible for us to break the restriction.”

His voice carried a hint of anger and resentment. Since he opened his eyes to see this world, he was already trapped in this place. No matter how hard he tried to break the restriction, it all ended up in failure.

“What about entering the second stage?” Yun Lintian asked.

“We did try, but it didn’t work for us.” Kun shook his head, unwilling to talk about this topic further.

Yun Lintian didn’t insist. He took some delicacies out and began to replenish his strength.

A while later, Kun asked. “How’s the outside world?”

Yun Lintian took a sip of wine and replied. “Honestly, it’s not good for a profound beast like you.”

He paused for a moment and explained further. “As you know, the outside world is pretty much dominated by humans, and they deem profound beasts as their enemies. Even if you somehow successfully leave this place, you will certainly be hunted down.”

Kun frowned deeply. “At least, it should be better than being imprisoned here.”

“Well, you are right.” Yun Lintian didn’t deny it. As long as Kun could escape from the people guarding this place, he could head to the Western Continent and live there.

“There is a place called the Western Continent. Over there, profound beasts are dominating. Humans don’t dare to mess with them.” He said further.

Kun’s eyes lit up. “Really? There’s such a place for us?”

Yun Lintian nodded. “However, the current situation over there is not good. It’s mainly because of the Poison Valley.”

“Poison Valley?” Kun was puzzled. ｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏ𝚖

Yun Lintian began to explain Poison Valley’s background.

After listening to it, Kun’s expression turned cold. Undoubtedly, this Poison Valley was a bane of profound beasts rather than an ally.

Yun Lintian changed the topic. “I need a hundred of the Saint Profound Beast Cores. Can you tell me where I can find them?”

Kun’s brows raised slightly, and he went silent.

“I don’t want to give you false hope, but maybe I can let you and your friends leave this place.” Yun Lintian said with a serious expression.

“What do you mean?” Kun stared at Yun Lintian deeply as if he wanted to see through the latter’s heart.

Yun Lintian pointed toward the summit and said. “There’s a sword called Heavenly Sword over there. The restriction around here exists because of it. Once the sword is removed, the restriction will disappear as well.”

He stared straight into Kun’s big eyes and said solemnly. “It’s not that I am boasting, but you can see my strength isn’t the same as others. Among everyone that entered this place, no one has a chance as high as me.”

Kun stared at Yun Lintian for a long while and said. “I can help you, but you have to promise me that you will help us leave this place safely.”

“Deal.” A faint smile appeared on Yun Lintian’s face.
