Thousands of kilometers north of the original location, a white light flashed, and Yun Lintian's figure appeared on the ground.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead while letting out a long breath. "Phew. Thanks to the star energy."
When Yun Lintian was in a dire situation previously, he suddenly remembered that his Beyond Heaven Profound Vein could absorb any energy in the world, and the star energy was no different. Without hesitation, he controlled his Origin Core to quickly absorb the energy and used it to mobilize The Thunder and The Moon.
With the combination of them, even if it couldn't deal with Xing Guiren, it was enough to force him to retreat.
Yun Lintian scanned the vicinity and suddenly saw a massive mountain range in the distance. This mountain range spanned thousands of kilometers, and the top of the mountain was covered with a thick layer of cloud, making it unable to see anything.
The mountain range was extremely lush, brimming with vitality. For a second, Yun Lintian thought that he was standing in the Land of Beyond Heaven. This place was not inferior to the fairy-like scenery inside at all.
"This place... Heavenly Cloud Mountain Range?" Yun Lintian recalled a piece of information.
The Heavenly cloud Mountain Range was one of the forbidden places yet to be unraveled. As far as Yun Lintian remembered, the barrier around the place seemed to slowly weaken day by day. Perhaps it won't be long before the mystery inside the mountain range gets exposed to the whole world.
"This place doesn't belong to this world." Lauya's voice suddenly resounded. "Similar to the Moon Garden. This entire mountain range is an artifact... And it's a high-level one."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Oh?" Yun Lintian's interest was piqued. Since he had already arrived here, it would be a pity if he didn't take a look at it.
Yun Lintian immediately dismissed the idea of entering the Land of Beyond Heaven and decided to move toward the mountain range.
However, the moment he took a step forward, a sense of fatal danger suddenly appeared in his heart, causing all the hairs on his body to stand. All the nerves in his body tightened as well.
This frightening feeling was more tightening than the earlier battle with Xing Guiren!
Buzz--
Before Yun Lintian could react, a violent noise erupted from behind, and a thick deep blue glow had already arrived a meter away from his chest. It had traveled at a speed that he had no chance to react to and could not even comprehend.
Bang! Splurt!!
In that split second, a figure suddenly appeared between Yun Lintian and the blue glow with a profound energy shield. However, the power of the blue light was obviously not something the energy shield could handle. It directly broke the shield and went straight to the figure's chest.
The blue glow shot through the figure's chest and came out from behind before hitting Yun Lintian's back and sending the two flying by several hundred meters.
Puff!
Yun Lintian spat out a mouthful of blood as a small bloodied hole appeared in his chest. Fortunately, his heart was safe. Otherwise, he would undoubtedly die on the spot.
However, Yun Lintian had no time to care about his own injury, as he felt someone lying on his back. This person clearly blocked the attack for him.
He gritted his teeth and turned around. Instantly, his entire body froze. His eyes widened in disbelief.
"Lin Xinyao..." Yun Lintian uttered tremblingly as he looked at the peerless woman lying in a blood pool. On the left side of her chest, a huge bloodied hole appeared... Her heart had been completely destroyed.
Her face paled white, and her eyes unfocused. Her lips were trembling with difficulty. "Thanks goodness... you're fine..."
Her eyes lost any signs of life, and she fell silent.
It was like there was a bang in Yun Lintian's head. His face lost all colors as he stretched his trembling hands out to hold her. "You... How could...?"
The scene where Xia Yao died in his arms suddenly overlapped. Yun Lintian's soul shook as he stared blankly at her body that had suffered from what was basically a fatal injury and her quickly weakening aura that had almost completely disappeared.
"Yao... Yao..." Yun Lintian uttered in a daze, while his eyes were already filled with tears.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and leave this place!" Hongyue roared in his mind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer roar immediately woke Yun Lintian from the trance. He hurriedly hugged Lin Xinyao and executed the Shadow Step, rushing toward the Heavenly Mountain Range madly.
"You'll be fine. Yaoyao, you will be fine. I won't let you die this time." Yun Lintian murmured while injecting all the wood energy from the Tree of Life into Lin Xinyao's body, trying to prolong her life as long as he could.
At the same time, he tried to summon the Gate of Beyond Heaven and prepared to enter the Land of Beyond Heaven.
Buzz--
Before Yun Lintian could call the gate, another similar deep blue glow suddenly traversed through the space and went straight onto his already injured back.
Bang!
Yun Lintian's mind was fully occupied by Lin Xinyao, and his awareness of the surroundings was greatly reduced. However, his instinct was working well this time. Before the blow glow could hit him, he suddenly twisted his body and let it hit his left shoulder.
Blood splashed everywhere, and a huge hole could be seen on his shoulder. It was a frightening sight to look at.
The impact carried by the blue glow instantly sent Yun Lintian flying toward the mountain range.
"Quickly! Open the gate!" Hongyue shouted anxiously as she perceived the connection between Yun Lintian and the Gate of Beyond Heaven had weakened. Evidently, Yun Lintian's soul was about to collapse.
Yun Lintian didn't seem to hear anything. His eyes were fixated on Lin Xinyao, whose vitality continued to leak at a frightening speed.
"You must live. Do you hear me, Yaoyao? You must live. I won't allow you to die." As Yun Lintian spoke, his eyes abruptly turned green, and the Tree of Life inside the Land of Beyond Heaven suddenly swayed fiercely.
In the next moment, an enormous vitality instantly poured into Lin Xinyao's body like a broken dam through Yun Lintian's hands. The bloodied hole in her chest quickly recovered at a visible rate, and her aura gradually grew stronger.
