Myth Beyond Heaven

When Yun Lintian opened the door, he immediately saw several of the Long Clan’s elders waiting for him.

Before he could say anything, Long Jinwei, and the others suddenly knelt on the ground with their heads lowered. “We greet Dragon King.”

Yun Lintian was taken aback and hurriedly used his energy to help them get up. “What are you doing, seniors? And who is Dragon King you’re talking about?”

Long Jinwei looked at Yun Lintian and said respectfully. “It’s you, Dragon King. At first, we were attracted by the unknown dragon’s aura. After seeing you, we are certain that you are the reincarnation of the Dragon King in the legend.”

Linlin jumped onto Yun Lintian’s shoulder and whispered softly. “We couldn’t block the Dragon God’s aura earlier… Also, in the Primordial Era, the Five-Claws Golden Dragon was one of the fierce generals under the Dragon God. Perhaps their bloodline got stimulated when they perceived the Dragon God’s aura.”

Yun Lintian immediately understood everything.

He looked at Long Jinwei and said. “Although I have indeed inherited the Dragon God’s bloodline, I’m no Dragon King. I am still Yun Lintian like before. Please do not misunderstand it.”

Long Jinwei lowered his head and said respectfully. “If Dragon King doesn’t want us to call you this, at least please let us call you Master. Moreover, we cannot afford to be called a senior by you, Master.”

“Please.” The other elders said in unison.

Yun Lintian opened his mouth, but no word came out. He didn’t know what to say at the moment.

Yun Lintian wasn’t someone who cared about a title or position. If possible, he didn’t want to take any position in the Misty Cloud Sect at all.

At the same time, he always respected the old and someone who he deemed worthy of respect. Even if his strength was far higher than the other parties, he would still respect them as his seniors.

This was why the sudden change in seniority and position brought up by Long Jinwei made him uncomfortable.

Yun Qianxue walked to Yun Lintian’s side and said. “In the world where the strong prey the weak, one’s strength is used to determine one’s seniority. In the past, you might not care about this, but you’re different now. You have to get used to it.”

Yun Lintian went silent for a long while and let out a sigh. “I understand.”

His eyes flashed with determination as he looked at Long Jinwei and the others. “Since that’s the case, I will accept it.”

As he spoke, his aura abruptly surged. He pointed his finger toward the sky, and silhouettes of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Divine Phoenix, and White Tiger appeared above the Central Continent, followed by deafening cries.

Roar—

Scree—

Their terrifying auras and roars instantly petrified every living being in the world. The only thing they could see was the majestic appearance of the four legendary beasts.

“W-What is that?”

Since Yun Lintian had no intention of harming anyone, he didn’t release his power much. Those people with relatively strong willpower could recover their senses a few breaths later and start to wonder what was happening.

On the Heavenly Cloud Mountain’s peak, Master Bai stood on a tall tree and looked at the four silhouettes in the sky in astonishment.

“F-Four Beast God’s souls… He actually….” Master Bai didn’t know what to say anymore.

Normally, it was almost impossible for a human to fuse with a divine beast’s soul. Let alone four beast god’s souls. Furthermore, it was also impossible for an existence like this to give away its soul… Yun Lintian was definitely the first and the last person who could achieve this.

On the side, Yun Xia looked at the four silhouettes calmly as if it was a common thing. However, one could see a trace of solemnity in the depths of her eyes.

Inside the Phoenix Cave, the Divine Phoenix opened her eyes and looked toward the sky with a hint of surprise. “Now I know why you chose him…”

Meanwhile, Nantian Xiulan was stunned by the sudden appearance of the four silhouettes. She could only stare blankly at them. 𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖ𝚕．𝚘𝚛𝚐

The Divine Phoenix looked at her and said. “It seems I have to leave earlier than expected.”

Nantian Xiulan came back to her sense and hurriedly asked. “My Lord…?”

The Divine Phoenix closed her eyes and said. “Call Little Girl Fengyu over. I have something to talk about with her before leaving.”

Nantian Xiulan took a deep breath and bowed deeply at her before walking out.

On the Moon Garden, Lin Xinyao looked at the four divine beasts in the sky thoughtfully. She didn’t know what was going on, but she could perceive Yun Lintian’s aura from them.

“Hah. Four Beast God’s souls… Everyone really spares no effort this time.” On her shoulder, Mumu looked at the sky with a serious expression.

Since Yun Lintian had successfully fused with the Dragon God’s soul, it meant his mission in this world had come to an end. He had to step into the next stage soon.

“What do you mean?” Lin Xinyao asked.

“I will tell you later when you return to the Divine Realm.” Mumu didn’t answer her directly. “I can only tell you that you have to step up your progress if you don’t want to be thrown behind further.”

A strange light flashed through Lin Xinyao’s eyes upon hearing this. She sat down on the ground and began to practice directly.

Long Jinwei and the others couldn’t help kneeling on the ground the moment the four silhouettes appeared. The intimidating auras the four beast gods released might not affect others much, but to them, who possessed a divine beast’s bloodline, it was as though they were facing their true master.

Yun Lintian looked at everyone and said solemnly. “I, Yun Lintian, shall rule this world from today onward!”

Roar—

Scree—

Yun Lintian’s voice wasn’t limited to the Long Clan’s manor, but everyone in the world could hear it as well. Even though they didn’t know Yun Lintian, they fully understood that a new ruler had appeared now.

They couldn’t help reciting Yun Lintian’s name in their hearts. They must remember it well to avoid offending him in the future…
