Myth Beyond Heaven

The ground shook, and several earth pillars protruded out of it, aiming at Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian constantly executed the Shadow Step to avoid them and arrived before the Boundless Desert Emperor.

“Hah!” His aura burst forth as he swung the sword down with a sharp crimson flame trailing behind.

A dreadful yellow light flashed through the Boundless Desert Emperor’s eyes. Before Yun Lintian’s slash could reach his head, a thick earth shield abruptly appeared in between, completely blocking the incoming attack.

At the same time, an earthly spike shot out of the ground beneath Yun Lintian. It was sharp and deadly, going straight to his belly.

Seeing this, Yun Lintian didn’t hesitate to thrust the White Dragon Spear forward, producing a virtual fire dragon.

BOOM!

Everything happened simultaneously, creating a massive explosion of power, sweeping away all the tiles and sand nearby.

Before the dust that filled the air could settle, Yun Lintian’s figure emerged behind the Boundless Desert Emperor like a ghost. His entire body was burning with the phoenix flame that instantly melted the ground.

The Heaven Piercing Sword in his head let out an ear-piercing cry, releasing its terrifying sword intent. The crimson and golden brilliance from the flame and the sword intertwined, transforming into a terrifying blade arc to sweep toward the Boundless Desert Emperor’s head.

The Boundless Desert Emperor let out a cold chuckle. He didn’t even bother to turn around as he reached his hand, which was covered with thick sand, toward the incoming attack.

BOOOOOM—

As a massive explosion shook the heavens, the space surrounding them distorted dreadfully. Amidst the exploding golden flames, the Boundless Desert Emperor’s hand tightly gripped the Heaven Piercing Sword. His dreadful eyes, which looked like the eyes of a vicious ghost, stared at Yun Lintian coldly.

“Despite having the Divine Phoenix bloodline, you can only do this much. Honestly, I’m a bit disappointed.” He said calmly.

Yun Lintian tried to retract the sword but discovered it could not be moved an inch. His instinct kicked in as he quickly stabbed the spear toward the enemy’s belly.

Bang! ．𝒄𝙤𝙢

The Boundless Desert Emperor simply used two fingers to catch the spear’s tip, and Yun Lintian was rendered powerless directly.

“Nice struggle.”

As the Boundless Desert Emperor’s voice fell, his eyes shone with a dreadful yellow light, and twenty percent of his profound strength suddenly erupted from his body.

BOOM!

It was as if a heavenly hammer had suddenly risen up to the fullest and smashed against Yun Lintian’s chest. A mouthful of fresh blood wildly sprayed from Yun Lintian’s mouth as the White Dragon Spear and the Heaven Piercing Sword instantly flew from his hands.

His entire body flew away like a leaf being blown by the wind as he landed heavily in the distance.

“Lintian!”

“Master!”

“Brother Yun!”

Yun Qianxue and the others let out cries of alarm at the same time. They struggled hard to get rid of the bound, but even with the help of Qingqing and Linlin, their action was destined to fail.

“Cough!… cough cough…” Yun Lintian’s entire body shook, and he lay sprawled on the ground. His chest was sunk inside as several ribs broke from the attack. He coughed out more than ten mouthfuls of fresh blood, and every time he coughed, a shocking and ghastly lump of blood would fly out from his mouth.

The pain reminded him of the difference in power between them. It was a gap that was a hundred times bigger than the gap between him and Yin Bei. It was so big that there were basically no methods he could use to close the gap. Even if he used the Crown, he wasn’t sure he could do anything to the enemy.

“Lintian! Hurry up and leave! No need to care about us.” Han Bingling shouted in a voice that trembled with every word she spoke.

Yun Lintian extended his hands, and the Heaven Piercing Sword and the White Dragon Spear flew back into his grasp. He stood up by using the spear as a crutch. His face was ghastly pale, and his entire body swayed.

His aura was also in complete and utter chaos. Only his eyes were still so icy and determined. One could not see any fear or intention to flee within them.

“Come on. Show me what you got.” The Boundless Desert Emperor crossed his arms before his chest and said in a relaxed voice. He simply disregarded Linlin and Qingqing.

“HAAH!” Yun Lintian took a deep breath and let out a great roar. His eyes gradually turned into beast-like ones, and his entire body was covered with white fur similar to Linlin’s.

The already-extinguished crimson flames on his body once more flared to life. The brilliant sea of flames of the Vermilion Bird flame and the Phoenix flame burst out, spreading across the sky. In the depth of the sky, the cries of Phoenix and Vermilion Bird filled the air, accompanied by a vast thunder roar filled with heavenly might.

The flames and energy waves that were so intense gave the Boundless Desert Emperor a surprise. This was the first time he saw someone possess three divine beast bloodlines at the same time.

An exciting smile appeared on his face underneath the veil. “Marvelous! Truly marvelous! As expected from a heaven-defying existence like you!”

He stared at Yun Lintian and scoffed disdainfully. “To think that you’re actually still thinking of struggling. Do you actually believe that just by burning divine blood, you will be able to fight me? Heh! How na?ve!”

Rumble—

As his voice fell, all the nearby sand abruptly roiled up, creating huge sand waves to block the sky before rolling down upon Yun Lintian, aiming to bury him.

Yun Lintian’s eyes flashed with divine light. The Thunder, The Moon, The Sun, and The Storm in his body were brightly lit.

A peerlessly dreadful terror and pressure slowly descended from somewhere, causing the Boundless Desert Emperor to frown deeply. This was the most terrifying aura he had ever sensed in his entire life… It was as if a devil god that had been slumbering for countless years was slowly opening one of its devilish eyes and staring at him…
