Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1635 Emergence (3)

Jiang Taiyu hurriedly turned around and unleashed a torrent of water towards the beam of starlight. However, his attack was much slower. It would never be able to catch up to the beam.

Xing Wanshen smiled coldly as he watched the beam break through the space, rushing towards Yun Lintian's abdomen. He had already seen how Yun Lintian became crippled.

Jiang Taiyu's expression turned unsightly. He had utterly underestimated Xing Wanshen's cunningness. No matter how desperate he was, it was impossible to stop the beam now.

However, before the beam could reach Yun Lintian, a strange white mist suddenly materialized in front of him, completely halting the beam's progress.

A man emerged from the white mist and turned to look at Xing Wanshen. With a faint smile, he spoke. "You are still as shameless as ever."

Xing Wanshen's expression changed dramatically. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the man. "How could you...?"

Jiang Taiyu was also shocked to see the man. This person was supposed to have died a long time ago. How did he appear here?

The man was none other than Yun Yi, the leader of the Cloud Keepers!

Xing Wanshen's expression kept changing as if he had figured something out. "So, you have been staying by his side all this time? No wonder…"

Yun Yi smiled, offering no explanation. He flicked his finger lightly, causing the freezing beam of starlight to be instantly obliterated, breaking into numerous particles of light.

Xing Wanshen quickly raised the Shooting Star Bow and condensed several star arrows.

Jiang Taiyu swiftly turned around and swung his sword, attempting to interrupt him.

However, before either of them could complete their actions, Yun Yi had already appeared behind Xing Wanshen, accompanied by a white mist. He raised his hand slightly, and the white mist immediately transformed into a sharp, white sword.

Yun Yi swung the sword towards Xing Wanshen's neck without hesitation. Everything he did happened within a split second. It was unbelievably fast, beyond comprehension.

Riip!

The white sword cut through the layers of starlight that Xing Wanshen had conjured to block it and swiped at his neck, leaving a red mark.

Blood splashed in the air as Xing Wanshen activated his movement technique and reappeared several kilometers away. His face turned grim as he reached to grab the back of his neck. If he were a split second slower, his head would be flying in the air by now.

"Your strength has improved a bit over the years." Yun Yi said nonchalantly. He didn't seem to care about the fact that his attack had failed to take Xing Wanshen's life.

Xing Wanshen snorted coldly. "Hmph! Looks like you have forgotten how all of you were killed back then. Let me remind you of it."

"Be careful. He has practiced inside the Heavenly Desolate Realm for the last ten thousand years." Jiang Taiyu said as he returned to Yun Lintian's side.

Yun Yi didn't reply. His eyes turned cold, and a boundless murderous aura gradually emanated from his body, causing the hearts of Jiang Taiyu and Xing Wanshen to sink.

Suddenly, the world darkened as black clouds gathered overhead, accompanied by a suffocating pressure. At the same time, the white mist surrounding Yun Yi gradually turned black, emitting a bloodthirsty aura.

"You…" Xing Wanshen's eyes bulged. The aura Yun Yi released was similar to that of devil god emperors. He had never known before that Yun Yi possessed a devil power. What was happening here?

Without further thought, Xing Wanshen raised both of his arms into the air. A dazzling starlight ring erupted from his body, blinding anyone who looked at it as he attempted to block whatever was about to come.

Yun Yi raised his sword, which had turned completely black, and the swirling black mist around him suddenly intensified.

"Kill." He uttered coldly and swung the sword downward. A curtain of black mist trailed behind the blade as a long scar appeared in the air before him.

Xing Wanshen's face twitched uncontrollably as he felt a sharp aura break through the space and arrive before him, followed by a tearing sound in the air.

Xing Wanshen hurriedly brought down the ring of starlight, blocking the incoming attack.

BOOOM!

The starlight ring shrank rapidly and shattered a moment later. The space-tearing power did not stop there. It continued to assault Xing Wanshen's starlight barrier and collide with his body, breaking numerous bones and inflicting a deep gash from his chest to his waist.

Before Xing Wanshen could even register the pain, darkness abruptly engulfed his vision, and Yun Yi's black sword struck his skull.

For a moment, Xing Wanshen caught a glimpse of Yun Yi's pupils and noticed they were chillingly indifferent. Then, his consciousness crumbled and scattered into a chaotic array of white and black colors.

Like a marionette without its puppeteer, Xing Wanshen hurtled towards the floating island below him, resembling a cannonball in flight.

Boom!

It looked and sounded as if the sky itself was falling when Xing Wanshen's body split the island in half, shattering it into countless fragments. His figure continued to descend at a frightening speed and collided with the nearby floating islands one after another.

Jiang Taiyu was shocked silly by the scene. Although Xing Wanshen's strength couldn't be ranked in the top five among the God Emperors, he was still considered a top-tier God Emperor. It was nearly impossible to witness him being defeated with just one strike...But it had happened now.

Just how powerful had Yun Yi become? And what was this black aura? When did he become a Devil God Emperor?

Yun Yi was about to follow Xing Wanshen when he suddenly sensed something and raised his head to look in that direction.

At that moment, Chun Yue emerged from the dark clouds and cast her gaze over everyone present, pausing when she reached Yun Yi. "Master is right. You are still alive and have been hiding in the Great Devil Realm all this time."

As her voice fell, Yun Yi had already appeared before her and thrust the sword forward.

Facing such a terrifying power, Chun Yue remained calm. A strange bamboo sword suddenly appeared in her hand, and she swiftly swung it forward.

BOOM—
