Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 258 - Abyssal Devourer

Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed as he stared at the incoming tigers. These two Sharp-Tooth Tigers were at the peak of Origin Profound Beast. It was no wonder they could effortlessly finish the Origin Profound practitioners' early level like the group leader.

Yun Lintian gripped the White Dragon Spear tightly. A terrifying aura slowly leaked out of his body, making the two tigers slow down and become vigilant. They knew the 'new prey' in front of them was different from the five people earlier.

With a flash, Yun Lintian's figure disappeared and reappeared before the two tigers in a ghost-like manner. He simply thrust the White Dragon Spear at the two tigers, accompanied by a dragon cry.

Boom!

The two tigers tried their best to avoid Yun Lintian's attack, but they felt a strong suppression locked the surrounding space, making them unable to move freely as before and fully hit by the spear. 

One of the tigers instantly exploded into pieces while the other was seriously injured and slumped onto the ground. Its eyes were filled with endless fear when it looked at Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian didn't let this chance go. He swiftly made another thrust and sent the remaining tiger to hell. 

Peng!

Yun Lintian let go of his spear and used a silver knife to cut out the abyssal profound core from the two tigers. Looking at the two abyssal profound cores in his palm, Yun Lintian clearly perceived Abyssal Energy within it was rival of the Saint rank. This made Yun Lintian's heart sink. He didn't think anyone in Northern Continent had the ability to deal with it.

Yun Lintian took out a wooden box and placed the abyssal profound beat cores in it before pretending to store it in his small bag hanging on his waist. 

Afterward, he went to check the five human corpses and gave them a proper sending by throwing a fireball at them.

"Rest in peace." Yun Lintian clasped his hands together and started moving again.

After Yun Lintian left, a tall human figure appeared behind an ancient tree not far away from the battle scene. This man stared at Yun Lintian's disappearing back until he completely vanished from his sight. He then shifted his gaze back onto the two tigers' remains. He then waved his hand, and the remains bizarrely went straight into his mouth and vanished. The man licked his lips with satisfaction as he left the scene.

"Who is that?" In the wooden hut, Yun Lingwei couldn't stay calm when she saw the mysterious man magically devour the tigers' remains. Her intuition told her this person was extremely dangerous.

Han Bingling had a rare severe expression when she saw the appearance of this man. Obviously, she didn't expect this person to appear in the outer area.

She took a deep breath and explained. "This person should be one of the two rulers of the forest. We don't know exactly specific detail, but people called him Abyssal Devourer. Like his name, he can devour profound beasts and humans to strengthen himself. Although Yun Lintian forgot to take care of the tigers' remains, he did a good job burning the unfortunate participants' corpses. Otherwise, this Abyssal Devourer would become stronger further."

"Abyssal Devourer?" Yun Lingwei racked up her brain to search for the name in her mind, but she could find any relevant information regarding this Abyssal Devourer.

Han Bingling gave a slight nod in reply and said nothing more, while Yun Lingwei suddenly became nervous. Hopefully, there was nothing happened to Yun Lintian.

***

Yun Lintian, who was oblivious to the appearance of Abyssal Devourer, was now walking along the path carefully. His current goal was finding more of Profound Beasts to collect information. Perhaps he could find a lot of clues about the origin of the intense Abyssal Energy within the forest center.

All of a sudden, the transmission jade on his waist rang again. This time it was Yang Chen who sent a message. Yun Lintian asked calmly. "What's wrong?"

"Brother Yun, be careful of Peng Xiaowang. There is a high-level formation master with him. I have encountered him earlier and almost lost my life under his sinister trap." Yang Chen's somewhat exhausted voice rang out from the other side.

Listening to this, Yun Lintian hurriedly asked. "Are you alright?" Hearing that Yang Chen was safe, he asked further. "What is the level of the formation? Do you know about it?"

A moment later, Yang Chen sent a message back, indicating he didn't know about it but should be at least Heaven-level Profound Formation.

Yun Lintian gave Yang Chen a few words before falling into deep thought. Of course, the opponent's formation profound art was not a threat to Yun Lintian, but it wasn't the case to others. Yun Lintian had to find a way to let them observe the formation so they wouldn't fall into the trap easily.

A while later, Yun Lintian stopped his movement once again. This time, he found a rare medicinal ingredient a hundred meters away from him. "Perfect Dragon Grass?" Yun Lintian was astonished when his gaze landed on a golden grass resembling wheat, but its stalk was full of curves similar to a dragon coil.

The Dragon Grass was a divine-rank medicinal plant. It was divided into four grades, low, mid, high, and perfect. The color of each grade would be different — green, red, purple, and golden, respectively. 

Yun Lintian became startled when he saw it because Dragon Grass would grow in a place with dragon blood or dragon remains. Since it appeared here, there should be something related to a dragon nearby.

Yun Lintian immediately calmed down and used Eyes of Heaven to check on the stalk of Dragon Grass. Upon seeing it was a genuine Dragon Grass, he didn't hesitate anymore and drew closer to it with caution.

Yun Lintian gripped the spear tightly, looking around vigilantly. He didn't believe such a high-rank magical plant was without a guardian.. It must be somewhere nearby.
