Myth Beyond Heaven

Chu Mi's head exploded into pieces, along with a massive amount of Abyssal Energy bursting out.

Yun Lintian's expression changed, and hurriedly shouted. "All of you, retreat!"

Tian Jiuyi and others reacted quickly and retreated to the distance, while Yun Lintian tried his best to absorb Abyssal Energy as much as he could with the bottle gourd. 

Looking at the bottle gourd in his hand, Yun Lintian's face turned strange. He just didn't want to expose his Profound Spiritual Liquid and tried his luck with it. Surprisingly, it went well. Perhaps he needed to study it carefully once again later.

The bottle gourd's absorption speed was breakneck. In less than ten seconds, all the Abyssal Energy that Chu Mi released had been wholly absorbed by it.

"What kind of that artifact? It could actually absorb Abyssal Poison." Tian Jiuyi looked at the seemingly ordinary bottle gourd in Yun Lintian's hand in amazement.

Bai Qingyi and Qin Yuyan glanced at each other in surprise. Both of them once saw this bottle gourd before. Although they knew it was a Saint-rank artifact, they didn't expect it had other functions besides making wine.

Yun Lintian wondered what kind of wine it would produce after this. He put away and raised his head to look at the sky. From what Chu mi shouted earlier, he knew someone was watching them for all this time.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

"You sure have so many cards in your hands. She didn't die unjustly at all." All of a sudden, Abyssal Devourer's figure slowly descended from the sky along with his signature clapping hands. 

His appearance caused everyone's body to tense up. They had learned about this man before, even with Yun Lintian and Qin Yiran's full forces, along with the Saint-rank killing formation, could not kill him. It could be seen how powerful he was.

"You've recovered very quickly." Yun Lintian furrowed his brows slightly and became relaxed in the next moment. Right now, he had the formation in his hand. It might be challenging to kill Abyssal Devourer off, but it wasn't entirely impossible.

A cold glint flashed across Abyssal Devourer's eyes briefly before he put up a harmless smile. "You had spent so much effort last time, but it was useless in the end. How do you feel right now?"

Yun Lintian shrugged and replied. " Why should I feel anything? I just wasted a few Profound Stones. That's all." 

The two stared at each other with a smile on their faces. They seemed to have a peaceful conversation, but if one looked closely, one could see their eyes were full of killing intents as if the battle could erupt at any moment.

A while later, Abyssal Devourer chuckled and glanced at the fake Chu Mi's corpse. "Tsk, I never thought she would die so easily like this… Oh, by the way, you probably don't know her name yet, right?" He turned to Yun Lintian and continued. "Well, you can blame the author for his laziness."

"Where's my sister!?" At this moment, Chu Heng stepped forward and roared at Abyssal Devourer fearlessly. 

Abyssal Devourer's brows raised slightly as he replied. "You mean that lovely girl?… Don't worry, she's fine. It wouldn't be long before she became one of us."

"What do you mean?" Chu Heng asked anxiously.

Abyssal Devourer glanced at him and said nothing. He turned to Yun Lintian and said. "Honestly, I have never seen anyone so talented as you before. Are you interested in joining us?"

Yun Lintian frowned as he tried to understand the meaning behind Abyssal Devourer's words. He ignored his invitation and asked. "Why don't you tell me more about Chu Mi? What do you mean by she's about to be one of you?"

"It's nothing. I find her interesting and want to convert her into our kind. At that time, her strength would surpass all of you here." Abyssal Devourer explained shortly. "How about it? Do you want to join us? I can give you the highest level of welfare if you want."

The frown on Yun Lintian's face grew deeper. A moment later, he suddenly thought of something and asked. "So it is the same method as you did to those lackeys of yours?"

Abyssal Devourer smiled faintly, refusing to give any comment.

Hearing Yun Lintian's words, Chu Heng trembled uncontrollably when he thought of his sister's fate. He stared at Abyssal Devourer with red eyes and released all of his power. "I'll kill you!"

"Relax, Brother Chu!" Yun Lintian hurriedly held Chu Heng. "Don't worry about Chu Mi. I have a way to cure her."

Chu Heng struggled for a moment and turned to Yun Lintian. "Really? You didn't lie, right?"

Yun Lintian pressed on Chu Heng's shoulder and said firmly. "Trust me. For others, it might be impossible. But for me, it's easy as flipping hand."

Chu Heng took a deep breath and nodded his head. He then stared at Abyssal Devourer with hatred.

Abyssal Devourer heard the conversation between them and asked curiously. "Oh? You can expel our Abyssal Energy?… Ah, I see. No wonder you didn't seem to fear it at all." 

He suddenly recalled the previous battle. Yun Lintian was so close to Abyssal Energy mist, but he didn't show any sign of fear at all. It seemed this fellow indeed had a way to deal with it.

I must capture him… Abyssal Devourer thought. 

"Are you thinking how to capture me?" Yun Lintian said.

"Y-you can read my mind?" Abyssal Devourer had an exaggerated expression. Afterward, he chuckled and said. "That's right. You've so many secrets. It would be a pity to kill you directly."

Yun Lintian smiled faintly as he said. "It seems we have the same idea. I am also thinking how to capture you."

Abyssal Devourer's eyes narrowed. "Have you found a way yet?"

"Of course." Yun Lintian replied coldly and stomped his feet on the ground. 

Buzz—

Instantaneously, a layer of golden light quickly spread out from the edge of the formation node and entirely surrounded Abyssal Devourer in a split second later.
