Myth Beyond Heaven-Chapter 1201 Identity (1)

The old man's appearance was dignified, obviously born noble. However, there was a hazy fog covered his face, unable to see his features clearly.

The oppressive aura he emitted made Xing Chen and Lan Cao's heads deeply lower.

Out of curiosity, Xing Chen tried to raise his head slightly, but he became apprehensive instantly as an enormous pressure quickly came down, forcibly pressing his head down.

"It's been a long time since someone appeared here." The words came down from above like a heavenly edict. When it fell in the ears of Xing Chen and Lan Cao, it sounded indifferent and majestic, as though the depths of their souls had been struck by a firmament-sized hammer, causing them to shiver.

The foreheads of Xing Chen and Lan Cao were oozing with cold sweat. In their entire life, they had never met anyone with such a terrifying power before.

Especially Lan Cao. Even though he had already stepped into the Divine Foundation Realm, he felt like he was a speck of dust in front of this illusory figure.

The old man looked at the two below and muttered. "Second level of the Divine Foundation Realm?… How could this lower world have a divine practitioner?" 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

Lan Cao's heart pounded rapidly as he felt as though he was stripped naked in front of this old man. It was the first time he had clearly felt his own smallness. Even when he faced Xing Tengfei back then couldn't give such a feeling.

On the side, Xing Chen took a deep breath, trying to calm down and waiting for the old man to say further. His mind spun rapidly, trying to figure out the old man's identity. Was he the owner of this place?

"How many divine practitioners are out there?" The oracle-like voice carried a supreme heavenly might as it traveled down.

Lan Cao glanced at Xing Chen and saw the latter signal him to answer. He gritted his teeth and said. "Reporting to Your Majesty, there are around thirty people like me out there."

"Thirty?… That's more than I thought." The old man said. "Tell me, how did you make a breakthrough? As far as I know, the profound energy in this world is very sparse."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, a spatial tunnel leading to another world had appeared four thousand years ago. We took this chance to leave and make a breakthrough over there." Lan Cao answered.

"A spatial tunnel?" The old man was obviously surprised. "This is very interesting... What about it now?"

"Currently, the spatial tunnel is within the control of the Azure Palace and the Star Gazing Palace… I don't want to make Your Majesty laugh, but they are the two most powerful forces here." Lan Cao replied.

The old man went silent for a moment and said. "I can see the Blue Demon Sect's power inside your body. Even though there are many flaws, to be able to practice to this level shows how talented you are."

Lan Cao trembled slightly, and a look of joy flashed through his eyes. "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

The old man shifted his gaze to Xing Chen and said. "Your profound talent is very weak. Without the heaven and earth treasures you consumed, you probably won't even step into the Saint Profound Realm… You are nothing but lucky enough to be born into a rich family."

Xing Chen's face darkened upon hearing this. The words of the old man were heavy and oppressive to the extreme. Each word ruthlessly nailed itself into the depths of his soul.

"However, I am very interested in the profound art you are practicing." The old man said further. "It is a bit like the Star God Emperor Realm's royal art… Where did your ancestor get it from?"

Xing Chen put the anger in his heart aside and replied. "Reporting to Your Majesty, my ancestor was lucky enough to find the Star Gazing Profound Art in the depths of the Chaotic Sea Region."

"Chaotic Sea Region?" The old man had never heard such a name before.

"It is a place full of spatial turbulences, located in the southern part of this world." Xing Chen explained.

"Spatial turbulences… I see." The old man said. "It seems your profound art is indeed coming from the Star God Emperor Realm."

"May I ask what is the Star God Emperor Realm, Your Majesty?" Xing Chen mustered his courage and asked.

"With your ability, I don't think you can step into the Divine Realm. However, since you are here, I will tell you a bit." The old man said.

"In the Divine Realm, there are thirty-four God Emperor Realms. Each one of them is presiding by a God Emperor and can be considered the king of the Divine Realm… The Star God Emperor Realm is one of them." The old man explained.

"A-are you a God Emperor, Your Majesty?" Xing Chen asked.

"A God Emperor?… Of course, I am." The old man replied with a faint chuckle.

His answer shocked Xing Chen and Lan Cao to the core.

"However, what you see right now is nothing but a residual soul I left behind." The old man said further.

"A residual soul left behind… Then this place…?" Xing Chen asked further.

"It's mine." The old man said. "Let me introduce myself. I am the Beyond Heaven King."

"Beyond Heaven King?" Xing Chen and Lan Cao glanced at each other in confusion.

"This place is called the Golden Mountain. It is a primordial-level artifact I left behind for my successor." The old man said.

"Your successor?… Could it be him?" Lan Cao immediately thought of Yun Lintian.

"Oh? Have you met my successor?" The old man asked with a hint of excitement in his voice.

A strange light flashed through Xing Chen's eyes as he heard this.

Meanwhile, Lan Cao took a deep breath and explained. "We have met a strange youth who possesses an unparalleled talent. He seems to master almost every element. Honestly, I have never seen anyone like him before."

"It must be him!" The old man said with joy.
