Myth Beyond Heaven

The space before Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu resembled a volcano area, except there was no magma but scorching ground instead.

On the ground, several skeletons could be seen. These skeletons were special. They resembled a bird mixing with humans.

At the same time, most of them emitted the Divine Phoenix's aura while the rest were mixing.

Not only the skeletons that could be seen but many broken weapons and artifacts were also scattered around the place. Obviously, this place was a battlefield before.

Yun Lintian scanned the place with the Eyes of Heaven and saw no trap or formation. However, he wasn't at ease after the previous experience. He took a Profound Stone out and threw it into the scorching space while preparing to summon the Gate of Beyond Heaven, just in case.

When the Profound Stone came into contact with the scorching aura, it was instantly burned by a terrifying flame and reduced to powder.

Seeing this scene, Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu glanced at each other in surprise. Although the flame was very powerful, it was actually the Divine Phoenix flame. It shouldn't be a problem for both of them who possessed the Divine Phoenix bloodline.

"Fifth Sister, you wait here first." Yun Lintian said, covering himself, Linlin, and Qingqing with the phoenix flame and taking a step forward.

Instantly, a terrifying phoenix flame erupted and enveloped Yun Lintian's entire body. However, when it touched Yun Lintian's phoenix flame, it gradually blended, becoming one.

Yun Lintian stayed in place for a few breaths and walked forward unhindered. A new phoenix flame did appear around him, but it would instantly blend with the flame around his body every time.

After confirming there was no danger, Yun Lintian returned to the edge and said to Nantian Fengyu. "You can try now."

Nantian Fengyu nodded and covered herself with the phoenix flame before cautiously stepping forward.

Boom!

A wave of phoenix flame immediately rushed toward her and hit directly into the flame around her body.

At first, Yun Lintian planned to help her, but after seeing the flames slowly merge together, he heaved a sigh of relief and did nothing.

Nantian Fengyu gradually adapted to the environment and said. "I'm fine now."

Yun Lintian nodded and said. "Let's check this place first."

At the end of the space, a passage led out of this place could be seen. However, Yun Lintian wasn't in a hurry to leave. He wanted to see if he could gain anything from this place. At least he didn't want to leave these phoenix bones and artifacts behind.

Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu slowly walked forward while checking and collecting the bones and artifacts on the way.

"Hongyue, what is their strength?" Yun Lintian squatted on the ground, looking at the largest skeleton and asking in doubt.

"The one in front of you is stronger than Yun Xia," Hongyue replied with a hint of melancholy in her voice. However, Yun Lintian didn't notice this as he was shocked by her words.

"Stronger than Grandma Xia?" Yun Lintian repeated in shock.

Although he had never seen Yun Xia's true strength, on a scale of zero to one hundred, she must be a one hundred without a doubt. However, this person was even stronger than her? What kind of strength was that?

Yun Lintian recovered and asked. "I have never asked you about this before. Who is stronger between you and Grandma Xia?"

Hongyue thought for a moment and answered. "Well, you will know it one day, anyway. Let me explain it directly."

"Do you know why there are two terms, a Divine Emperor and a God Emperor?"

Yun Lintian replied casually. "Maybe their strength is different, like the tenth level and the peak level?"

Just like the Monarch Profound Realm. The tenth level of the Monarch Profound Realm was incomparable to the peak of the Monarch Profound Realm. It might look like there was a thin line between them, but in fact, the gap was very huge.

This also explained why Han Bingling and Lei Zhenxiang, who were the palace masters in their respective factions, were different from their elders in the Monarch Profound Realm.

"You can understand it like that, but the gap between them is several times far apart. It is to the point everyone treats it as a different realm, even though they are, in fact, the same Divine Emperor Realm." Hongyue explained.

"Yun Xia might be at the tenth level of the Divine Emperor Realm, which is already outstanding enough, but compared to a God Emperor, she's like a huge ant."

Yun Lintian's mouth opened wide in disbelief upon hearing this. He hurriedly asked. "Then, how many God Emperors are there?"

"Including me, Qingxuan, and the previous Beyond Heaven King, there used to have thirty-four God Emperors in total," Hongyue replied calmly.

"Only thirty-four?" Yun Lintian was surprised. From what he knew, the Divine Realm was incredibly vast. How could there be only thirty-four?

"Do you think anyone can reach that realm just by having some talents and hardworking?" Hongyue sneered. "The Divine Realm is no different from the Azure World you are standing on now. The resources are limited, and only a truly talented one can step into the God Emperor Realm. In the entire Divine Realm history, no more than fifty people have such a talent."

Yun Lintian was shocked again. The Divine Realm had existed for who knows how long, yet there were no more than fifty people with that kind of talent?

He suddenly thought of something and asked. "Wouldn't this mean those God Emperor has lived for hundreds of thousands of years now?"

"Of course. Do you think how old I am?" Hongyue chuckled.

Yun Lintian had forgotten that Hongyue was the first princess of the Divine Moon Clan. Obviously, she had lived for a long, long time.

He looked at the skeleton in front of him and asked. "Then this person is a God Emperor?"

​ "No," Hongyue shook her head.

"Eh?" Yun Lintian was puzzled.

"You can understand as a half-step one." Hongyue used a simple term, as she was too lazy to explain it further.

"I see…" Yun Lintian nodded slightly.

"Junior brother…" At this moment, Nantian Fengyu walked over and was about to say something. All of a sudden, the skeleton in front of Yun Lintian glowed with red light, followed by a terrifying phoenix flame…
