At first, Cang Shang thought that Yun Lintian was Master Bai's disciple and that he probably had some sort of protective gear to shield himself from the scorching heatwave. Who would have thought that he was the successor of the Beyond Heaven King?
"It was no wonder that both of you wanted to harm him." Cang Shang glanced at Zhan Huan.
Zhan Huan smiled wryly. "I shouldn't be greedy."
In fact, his father had warned him many times to stay away from Yun Lintian's affairs, but he couldn't resist the greed in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't participate much in the previous attack. Otherwise, he would have definitely become a lifeless body by now.
Yun Lintian was surprised when he saw the flames surrounding him part ways.
"Ah. You are probably the most spoiled brat in the entire history of the Divine Realm. Everyone directly shoves everything into your mouth." Master Bai sighed when he saw the scene.
Yun Lintian didn't say anything but continued to move forward. The wall of flames quickly parted, revealing a gap for him to pass through. When Yun Lintian walked in, the wall immediately returned to its original state.
"As expected." Zhan Huan muttered to himself. This place was indeed made for Yun Lintian. He should not have any illusions from the beginning.
Meanwhile, Nantian Fengyu's eyes flickered slightly as if she were deep in thought.
Yue Chuntao glanced at her and furrowed her brow slightly. For some reason, she felt that there was something wrong with Nantian Fengyu since they returned from the Azure World, but she couldn't figure it out.
"Hmph! Bad Big Brother Yun!" Qingqing pouted and angrily took a bite of the cake in her hand. She was angry that Yun Lintian had left her behind.
Linlin patted her head but said nothing.
Yun Lintian continued moving until he reached a burning building. There was nothing noteworthy about its appearance except for the intensity of the flames here. Although the flames couldn't harm Yun Lintian, the intense heatwave still caused him to sweat profusely.
Crack!
All of a sudden, the gate of the building slowly opened on its own, and the flames that had initially blocked the way quickly moved aside.
"Let's go in." Master Bai urged.
Yun Lintian took a deep breath and entered the building.
In front of them was a spacious hall, and on the wall was a slowly revolving profound formation that burned with golden fire. Four chains of golden fire could be seen hanging from the four corners and tightly wrapped around a golden ball of flame floating in the center of the hall.
The golden ball emitted a terrifying heatwave, causing Yun Lintian to come to a sudden halt.
Master Bai's eyes had never left the golden ball since the two of them entered this place. Myriad emotions flashed across his eyes. It was evident how deep the connection between him and the Golden Crow God was.
Clang!
All of a sudden, the chains of flame broke into pieces, freeing the golden ball from any restraints.
"You have finally arrived."
A woman's voice suddenly sounded in the air above Yun Lintian. Of course, this wasn't the first time Yun Lintian had heard such a divine voice. The voice of the Divine Phoenix was prestigious, while the voice of the Primordial Dragon God was vast and boundless, making people unable to help it but want to kneel and worship on the ground.
However, the voice that sounded at this moment made Yun Lintian shiver uncontrollably. The blood in his body instantly turned violent. It was as if he were thrown into an endless sea of flames.
At that moment, a figure with a reddish-gold hue appeared above the golden ball. It was the figure of a stunning woman dressed in a golden robe. Her entire body radiated nobility and pride. It was as if nothing in the world could get into her eyes.
"It's been a while, Jin Huian." Master Bai spoke calmly.
The woman, Jin Huian, looked at Master Bai and said. "You are still alive, Bai Junjie?"
"Surprised? How could a handsome man like me die so easily?" Master Bai grinned.
Jin Huian landed on the ground and said. "You are shameless as usual."
She turned to look at Yun Lintian. "Eighth level of the Divine Transformation Realm. Your progress speed is a bit slow. However, you came here at the right time. It should be enough for you to turn the tide."
"Turn the tide?" Yun Lintian was puzzled.
"Really? I think he is not ready yet." Master Bai frowned slightly.
"He has to." Jin Huian glanced at him. "When did you become a coward?"
Master Bai snorted coldly. "I just don't want to ruin all of our efforts."
Jin Huian ignored him and turned to Yun Lintian. "Are you ready?"
Yun Lintian was about to say something, but his whole body suddenly shook violently as a loud bang went off in his brain. His consciousness quickly faded.
His vision was filled with an endless golden sea of flames, but these flames were not within his sight. They were burning deep in his heart and mind, all the way to his profound vein and divine core.
Instantly, everything inside Yun Lintian's body turned into the color of pure gold. At the same time, a scorching sensation invaded every cell of his body, causing him to frown in agony.
Yun Lintian possessed the Sun, the Divine Phoenix's bloodline, and the Vermilion Bird's bloodline, which granted him an exceptionally high resistance to fire. However, even with these advantages, it was not sufficient for him to withstand the power of the golden flames.
All of the parts of his body and all of his organs were burning, but he did not feel anything at all, as his consciousness could no longer feel the presence of his body.
These flames had started to spread towards his soul, burning towards the depth of his soul.
"Concentrate. Trying to refine all of them as much as possible." Master Bai's voice resounded in Yun Lintian's mind, causing him to concentrate on refining the unfamiliar power within his body.
At this moment, Master Bai had already transformed into his human form and was standing beside Yun Lintian.
After ensuring that Yun Lintian was fine, he turned to Jin Huian and spoke softly. "At least God gave me a chance to see you again."
His eyes were filled with sorrow and boundless tenderness as he gazed at her.
Jin Huian stared at Master Bai's face for a moment and let out a sigh. "This is our fate."
The two of them kept staring at each other in silence. But in that silence, there were numerous unspoken words between them...
