Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 827 Nantian Fengyu's Decision

"You can leave." The Divine Phoenix said to Yun Lintian and turned to Nantian Fengyu. "You stay here."

"Why?" Nantian Fengyu's brows creased together as she asked in dissatisfaction.

"You will know soon." The Divine Phoenix said calmly.

Yun Lintian didn't think about anything further and walked away with Nantian Xuanyu following behind.

As they left, the Divine Phoenix glanced at Nantian Fengyu and said coldly. "The calamity is approaching. How long do you want to accept the truth that you're the other half of me?"

Nantian Fengyu's face turned icy. The hint of childishness she wore all the time had vanished entirely at this moment.

"What? You want to deceive yourself further? Heh, perhaps you don't understand what you're going to face in the near future." The Divine Phoenix laughed coldly. "Since that's the case, I will open your eyes."

As her voice fell, a streak of fire flashed, and Nantian Fengyu's vision turned dark immediately. In the next moment, a scene where countless corpses scattered all over the ground appeared in her sight. Blood pools gathered together, forming wide rivers of blood everywhere. Just by this scene, Nantian Fengyu had the urge to vomit directly.

"Roar!"

Deafening roars and cries echoed in all directions, diverting Nantian Fengyu's attention and making her look over. She could see innumerable Abyssal Profound Beasts smashing and slaughtering humans everywhere.

All of a sudden, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing in the middle of the beast's horde. From time to time, he would kill some profound beasts with a majestic white spear in his right hand and a peerless sword in his left hand. His strength was obviously stronger than anybody here. Even so, he was unable to take care of unnumbered opponents that kept swarming toward him like a giant tide.

"That…" Nantian Fengyu opened her mouth, staring at the man in a daze.

Swoosh!

At this moment, a terrifying black claw suddenly appeared behind the man, completely catching him off-guard and successfully tearing the man's back, causing his blood to splash out like a fountain.

"Junior Brother!!" Nantian Fengyu cried out in shock and hurriedly rushed forward. She didn't hesitate to summon Phoenix Flame, aiming to kill all the Abyssal Beasts around the man.

That was right. The man she was trying to rescue was no other than Yun Lintian. However, compared to his usually youthful appearance, this Yun Lintian was more mature, and his face was filled with vicissitudes. Evidently, he had gone through numerous painful experiences to reach this point.

Nantian Fengyu's Phoenix Flame slammed on the Abyssal Beasts around Yun Lintian, but the flame simply passed through them like nothing had happened.

Nantian Fengyu's body froze on the spot. Her mind spun rapidly as she quickly launched another move. However, a similar scene had repeated again. She was unable to hit the target.

"What's going on?" Nantian Fengyu said anxiously. She tried another few times, but it was to no avail. All she could do was watch Yun Lintian being sieged by the enemies.

All of a sudden, Yun Lintian roared and floated into the air. A brilliant crown appeared on his head, followed by multi-colored lights radiating the entire space.

Rumble—

It was as though heaven had crumbled. Heavy rain fell, followed by countless lightning bolts, and tornadoes rampaged everywhere while the earth kept trembling, producing terrifying earthquakes.

The space was instantly filled with shrilling screams from the Abyssal Beasts as they were mercilessly slaughtered by the power of nature.

The scene continued for a full minute before everything disappeared, leaving Yun Lintian's figure behind.

Yun Lintian slowly descended to the ground and scanned the surrounding cautiously. His face was pale, resulting from overdrawing power.

Just as Yun Lintian was about to take a short rest, the terrifying black claw once again appeared behind him, and this time it directly pierced into his body from the back all the way to the front.

"Lintian!!" Nantian Fengyu shouted in horror and rushed over, trying to catch him, but her body simply passed through the latter as her flame did.

"No! This is not true!" Nantian Fengyu turned around and saw Yun Lintian fall to the ground with his vitality leaking out. His eyes began to blur, and his breathing gradually slowed down.

"No!" Nantian Fengyu squatted down beside Yun Lintian and madly grabbed him. Her mind was in a mess, and streaks of tears kept falling down her cheeks.

"Wake up." The Divine Phoenix's voice suddenly resounded, and the scene in front of Nantian Fengyu vanished entirely. She immediately found herself kneeling on the ground before the Mother Tree.

Nantian Fengyu raised her head and looked at the Divine Phoenix with tear-filled eyes. "What is that…?"

"You can understand it as a divination." The Divine Phoenix replied calmly. "It could happen or never. No one knows."

She glanced at Nantian Fengyu and asked. "Do you understand now? What lies await you ahead is not something that the current you can do anything with. In the past few years, I didn't stop you from playing around because I think you deserved it. Now, whether you want to continue your willful action or obediently practice with me here. It's up to you to decide."

Nantian Fengyu lowered her head and fell into silence for a long time. The previous scene where Yun Lintian was soaking in blood kept replaying in her mind. The heart-gripped pain she experienced earlier was still lingering in her heart. She couldn't imagine what she would feel if something truly happened to Yun Lintian.

A moment later, she raised her head up. Her eyes were full of determination as she said. "Tell me, what should I do?"

The Divine Phoenix was satisfied with Nantian Fengyu's decision. She said calmly. "The Phoenix's Burning Heaven Record that everyone here practicing is a merely simplified version I gave them. Since you've determined to become stronger, I shall grant you the true Burning Heaven Record… As long as you master the first three layers, no one in this world could be your opponent!"

As her voice fell, a streak of flame shot out from her wing and went straight into Nantian Fengyu's forehead…
