Myth Beyond Heaven

Boom!

The middle-aged quickly conjured a profound barrier, but it was too late. The black beam was too fast and directly shattered his incomplete barrier, tearing a chunk of flesh on his right shoulder.

"Argh!" The middle-aged man screamed painfully. However, his scream blended with several shrill cries that resounded everywhere on the ship.

The iron ship's crews were mercilessly slaughtered by the group of robotic people as the gap in their strength was too large.

The middle-aged man tried his best to endure the pain and looked for his young miss. At this moment, he saw his young miss was surrounded by two Monarchs and was in fatal danger.

"Young Miss!" The middle-aged man shouted anxiously and used all his power to rush toward her.

The young woman tried her best to fend off the two Monarchs, but her strength was too low. All she could do was avoid their attacks. When she heard the middle-aged man call out, she turned around to glance at him, and her face turned pale because she saw the enemy silently appearing behind him and swinging the sword down.

"No!" The young woman screamed in despair. She seemed to see the middle-aged man being cut in half already.

All of a sudden, a streak of ice beam shot down from the sky, instantly turning the enemy behind the middle-aged man into an ice sculpture.

Bang!

The ice sculpture shattered into countless ice particles as Mu Qiuxue gracefully landed on the ship.

On the other side of the ship, Yun Lintian casually threw seemingly ordinary fireballs at the enemies and successfully forced them away.

Meanwhile, Linlin, who was sitting leisurely on Yun Lintian's shoulder, merely glanced at the enemies and yawned boringly. "Big Brother Yun, they are using dark energy. Likely to have something with Poison Valley."

Yun Lintian nodded and controlled a fire sword to kill the nearby Saint Profound Realm's enemy. "But it's much weaker than the usual. Additionally, they didn't seem to have souls. What's wrong with them?"

"They are puppets." Hongyue's voice resounded in Yun Lintian's mind. "Now, their master should have noticed you. You better finish them off quickly."

"Oh?" Yun Lintian was surprised. It could be said this was the first time he came into contact with puppet techniques.

Since that was the case, Yun Lintian summoned more fire swords and started killing.

On the other side, the middle-aged man and the young woman stared at Mu Qiuxue blankly. When they returned to their senses, all the surrounding enemies were already dead.

"Thank you, Senior, for saving us." The young woman cupped her fists and said with gratitude.

Mu Qiuxue nodded her head gently and looked at the wounded crews. "You should treat them first."

"Let me come." The middle-aged man said and quickly went to help his people. It was at this moment did he notice Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian casually threw a few high-grade healing pill bottles to the middle-aged man and said. "Take them."

The middle-aged man hesitated slightly. He was unsure about this young man's identity. However, he believed there was no reason for Yun Lintian to harm everyone. "Many thanks."

Yun Lintian used his profound energy to pull some enemy's corpses over. He opened Eyes of Heaven and saw black strings tying on the corpses' soul gates. The strings were tracing back to the wooden ship. Obviously, there was something at the end of them over there.

Yun Lintian turned to Mu Qiuxue and said. "You wait here. I will take a look at it."

Without waiting for Mu Qiuxue to reply, he quickly flew toward the wooden ship.

When Yun Lintian landed on the ship, he was immediately surrounded by a brooding atmosphere, making him feel as though he was currently walking in a graveyard in the middle of the night.

"There shouldn't be ghosts here, right?" Yun Lintian said jokingly. Lightning sparks flashed around him as he walked down into the shabby cabin.

When he arrived at the cabin, he subconsciously blocked his nose, as a horribly pungent smell was everywhere. A disgusting scene appeared in his vision. Countless bones, corpses, and human flesh could be seen all over the place.

"What the hell? Are they cannibalism or something?" Yun Lintian said in disgust. He quickly opened Eyes of Heaven and searched for the black strings.

In the next moment, Yun Lintian saw the black strings gathering on something at the end of the cabin. He covered himself with profound energy to avoid the mess on the ground and walked forward.

Soon, he saw a young woman's naked body pinned by a sharp wooden pole. Her skin was pale as though she had never been exposed to the sun for decades. A strange circle symbol was engraved on the ground. It was clearly written by her blood.

After confirming the black strings were gathered on the woman's soul gate, Yun Lintian asked. "Hongyue, do you know this symbol?"

"It's a Dark Lord's demonic symbol… I didn't expect it to appear in this world." Hongyue said calmly.

"Dark Lord? Who is that again? Is this world a gathering place of all demons and gods?" Yun Lintian didn't know what to say anymore. Previously, it was a Forsaken God Tribesman, and now this so-called Dark Lord.

"Well, you can think of it as a Satan of a satanic cult." Hongyue chuckled. "But don't worry, he's not as scary as you think. Judging from the rough symbol on the ground, it should be a work of an amateur who tried his skills out."

"I see." Yun Lintian nodded slightly. "How to destroy it, then?"

"Just burn it," Hongyue replied.

"Alright. That's easy." Yun Lintian didn't think about it further and threw a few fireballs at the pitiful woman.

"Arghhhhh!" As the fire burned, a terrifying scream mixed with male and female voices echoed throughout the cabin.

Under the Eyes of Heaven, Yun Lintian saw the black strings slowly dissipate and vanish completely. At the same time, he saw countless illusory figures appearing around him. They took a deep bow at Yun Lintian, expressing their gratitude before slowly fading away.

Yun Lintian clasped his hands together and closed his eyes. "Amitabha. Rest in peace, everyone."
