Myth Beyond Heaven

"Where's this place…?" A week later, Yang Chen opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar chamber filled with fire elements.

A splitting headache caused him to be unable to comprehend the situation. The last thing he remembered was that he had made a deal with the Fire Devil to avenge Yun Lintian.

After regaining his clarity, Yang Chen slowly got up from the bed and looked around the place, trying to grasp the situation.

At this moment, the door was opened, and Yun Lintian walked into the room. The appearance of Yun Lintian caused Yang Chen's entire body to freeze as he looked at the former in shock.

"This… Brother Yun?" Yang Chen uttered in a hoarse voice. In that instant, he immediately understood that he had already died. Otherwise, how could he see Yun Lintian?

A relieved smile appeared on his face as he said further. "I see… So this is what the afterlife looks like?"

Yun Lintian smiled strangely after hearing this. He said. "It's been a while, Brother Yang."

Yang Chen smiled and said. "Indeed."

He paused for a moment and said apologetically. "I'm sorry, Brother Yun. I cannot avenge you in the end."

"You mean the Wang Clan?" The smile on Yun Lintian's face grew wider.

Yang Chen nodded powerlessly. When Yun Lintian "died," he blamed the Wang Clan for everything, believing they were the culprits for his good brother's downfall. That was why he didn't hesitate to accept an exaggerated deal from the Fire Devil.

Yun Lintian chuckled and said. "It's okay. They are here in hell, too. Do you want to see them?"

Yang Chen's expression changed slightly. "Wait. We are in hell right now?"

"Of course. Where do you think we can go after destroying so many plants and animals?" Yun Lintian tried his best to hold his laughter.

"Look around this place. Don't you feel hot here?" Yun Lintian asked.

Yang Chen saw this place was indeed full of fire elements. Without a doubt, it must be hell. He sighed resignedly. "I see… You're right, Brother Yun. A practitioner like us cannot avoid killing… Well, at least they are all dead. Everything is worth it." 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ

At this moment, Han Bingling walked into the room and wanted to say something to Yun Lintian, but she noticed Yang Chen first. "You're awake."

Yang Chen's eyes widened open in disbelief as he stammered. "P-Palace Master Han, you have also died?"

Han Bingling was taken aback and glanced at Yun Lintian in puzzlement.

"He thought he had already died, and I told him this is hell." Yun Lintian sent a sound transmission to her.

Han Bingling almost laughed on the spot. She looked at Yang Chen and sighed regretfully. "Unfortunately, I was ambushed and died tragically."

She changed her tone slightly. "But it's okay. At least we are reuniting here in hell."

Hearing this, Yang Chen sighed in sadness. "Well, you're right, Palace Master Han."

"Don't call me palace master. Just call me sister-in-law." Han Bingling said.

Yang Chen was taken aback and looked at the two in shock. "You two…"

Han Bingling held Yun Lintian's arm and leaned against him. "Indeed. We are husband and wife now."

Yang Chen's mouth opened in an O shape, but soon he calmed down and said. "Congratulations."

"Let's go. I will bring you to a place." Yun Lintian chuckled and left the chamber with Han Bingling.

Yang Chen followed them out and appeared in a somewhat scorching tunnel. He subconsciously tried to circulate his profound energy to block the heat, but he discovered that he had no profound energy. His current body was no different from an ordinary mortal.

Seeing this, he was even more convinced that he was already dead.

This place was the Divine Phoenix's ancestral ground. In order to let Yang Chen recover faster, Yun Lintian placed him here as the fire element benefited Yang Chen's True Fire Spirit physique greatly.

However, he didn't expect this place to align perfectly with "hell" in Yang Chen's mind.

"You have recovered?" Divine Phoenix's voice suddenly resounded, and her figure silently appeared not far away from Yun Lintian's group.

Her appearance startled Yang Chen greatly. "Brother Yun… This is?"

"She's the king of hell." Yun Lintian replied with a serious expression.

Yang Chen was shocked and hurriedly bowed his head. "Junior Yang Chen pays respect to the King of Hell."

"?" Divine Phoenix was puzzled slightly. Since when she became a king of hell?

"Pfft…" Han Bingling couldn't hold her laughter further. Yang Chen's appearance was too serious as if he genuinely believed that he had already died.

Yang Chen glanced at his sister-in-law in puzzlement. Why would she suddenly laugh?

Divine Phoenix seemed to understand something. She rolled her eyes at Yun Lintian. "Boring."

She glanced at Yang Chen and said. "Well, as expected from someone who was stupid enough to let a puny fire devil possess him. There's surely a problem with your brain."

Yang Chen was taken aback and couldn't comprehend the situation.

Seeing this, Divine Phoenix sighed and said. "The True Fire Spirit physique is going to waste on you it seems… Stupid. Do you really think we are in hell right now?"

"Aren't we?" Yang Chen blinked his eyes in confusion.

Yun Lintian couldn't stand it anymore and laughed. "I'm joking with you. We're not dead. This place is the Divine Phoenix Palace."

Yang Chen's eyes widened open. "We are not dead…? But why I can't use my profound energy here?"

"The Fire Devil had detonated your profound vein, but luckily, you met me." Divine Phoenix explained.

Yun Lintian added. "I have already restored your profound vein. You have to start all over again."

Yang Chen slowly nodded his head as he seemed to understand his situation now.

"This is a good opportunity. I could see that your previous foundation was too weak, as it had something to do with how you practiced in the early stage. However, with this reset, you can start with the Divine Sun Profound Art from the beginning, and your foundation will be extremely solid." Divine Phoenix said.

"Divine Sun Profound Art..." Yang Chen frowned slightly, and the information related to Divine Sun Profound Art appeared in his mind. It was the profound art that Yan Qi taught him back then.

"The Blazing Sun Palace's inheritance is, in fact, originated from the Sun God Realm in the Divine Realm. Their ancestor probably picked it up somewhere here. What surprised me is that it's actually a complete version." Divine Phoenix said further.
