Tai Yu said further. "Everyone here is working together to enter the Divine Realm safely. It is a win-win agreement."
"Do you know that it means the end of this world?" Yun Lintian asked.
Tai Yu took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said. "You have reached this height at a young age. It means your background is not ordinary… Why are you caring about those commoners?"
Seeing Yun Lintian remain silent, she said further. "It's understandable if you care about your family and friends, but what do those commoners have anything to do with you?"
"The profound path is full of cruelty. Everyone would do everything to make themselves stronger. This should be common knowledge… Don't tell me you have never taken advantage of others in order to raise your strength?"
Yun Lintian was speechless for a while, as he couldn't refute Tai Yu. He had to admit that she had a point.
He took a deep breath and said. "I don't deny your statement, but have you ever considered whether it is worth exchanging the entire world just for an uncertain future? Do you really think those people from the Divine Realm will keep their promise after getting what they wanted?"
Tai Yu shook her head. "Of course, there's no guarantee. However, it's still a better chance than going to the Divine Realm by ourselves."
Yun Lintian went silent again. He could understand Tai Yu's stance. After all, she didn't have a cheat device like the Land of Beyond Heaven. Stepping into the Divine Realm without insurance was difficult.
However, sacrificing the entire world just because of this. He couldn't accept it either, even if he could bring his people into the Land of Beyond Heaven.
"She's not wrong. Like I said before, the lives of mortals are worthless in front of practitioners." Hongyue's voice echoed in Yun Lintian's mind. "However, I don't think you're wrong either that you want to save them. Just do what you truly want."
Hearing this, Yun Lintian relaxed immediately. She was right. He didn't have to concern about Tai Yu's thoughts at all. He just needed to do according to his wish.
He raised his head slightly and said. "We are standing on different sides. I will destroy the spatial tunnel."
Tai Yu's face turned solemn. "I admit that you're strong, but can you fight all of us at once?"
Yun Lintian shook his head. "I don't know… I have no intention of fighting all of you here right now."
"What do you mean?" Tai Yu was puzzled.
"It's nothing. The Poison Valley has been running rampant recently. Their goal must be here, and I don't want to become their knife." Yun Lintian explained briefly. "Bring me to see the world's core, and I will leave after checking it."
Tai Yu looked at Yun Lintian for a while and asked again. "Are you sure?"
Yun Lintian didn't say anything. The Heaven Piercing Sword silently appeared in his right hand, and he raised it up before slashing toward the barrier behind Tai Yu.
Instantly, the entire space was filled with a terrifying sword intent as countless streaks of golden lights fell and shot toward the barrier like golden meteors. They easily pierced the barrier and split it directly, leaving a massive slit.
Tai Yu's pupils shrank in horror when she saw this. It was at this moment did she realize how terrifying Yun Lintian was. If he had used this attack from the beginning, she would probably have become a cold corpse by now.
Thinking of her arrogant appearance previously, her pale face immediately grew hot. She actually… put an air in front of someone who was several times stronger than her… What a shame!
Yun Lintian retracted the sword and glanced at her. "Do you need another explanation?"
Tai Yu hurriedly shook her head. "No need. I understand it now."
"What's going on!?"
At this moment, ten figures flew out of the barrier, and their auras immediately locked on Yun Lintian. Their strength was not much different from Tai Yu, varying between the third and fourth levels of the Divine Foundation Realm.
Leading in front was a fat old man clad in green. Judging from his look and strength, he should be the group leader.
"Eighth level of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm? How could he release such a powerful sword intent?" A middle-aged woman behind the fat old man said in surprise as she looked at Yun Lintian curiously.
On her waist was a long sword. With a glance, anyone could see she was a sword practitioner. Her name was Jian Yitong.
"And that sword… No way. It's the Heavenly Sword?" When her gaze landed on the sword in Yun Lintian's hand, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Her words immediately attracted everyone's attention. They all looked at the Heaven Piercing Sword in Yun Lintian's hand and had similar expressions as Jian Yitong's.
The fat old man frowned slightly and asked. "Why did you come here?"
"It's like this…" Tai Yu came back to her sense and quickly explained.
After listening to her explanation, the fat old man took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said. "Are you really coming here just to check the world's core out and nothing else?"
Yun Lintian replied calmly. "I don't want to repeat it again."
His response made the few old men behind the fat old man frown in dissatisfaction.
The fat old man nodded slightly and said. "Then come with me… Oh right. My name is Pang Wangwu."
Yun Lintian didn't say anything and followed Pang Wangwu into the barrier.
After everyone left, a few figures appeared in the far distance and looked at the barrier. The person in the front was no other than Jue Kong.
"His strength has grown to this level already? This is very troublesome…." Jue Kong frowned deeply.
If there was anyone who knew Yun Lintian the best, he must be one of them. With Yun Lintian's current strength, he was certain it would be impossible to deal with him alone.
"What should we do, Master Jue?" Standing behind, Yin Liang asked cautiously. His heart was full of fear as he glanced at the barrier. The strength Yun Lintian displayed earlier was beyond the scope of his imagination already. If possible, he didn't want to come here at all.
"I don't want to admit it, but it seems we have to wait for the Supreme Lord to come out." Jue Kong said in a low voice.
