Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 569 Red Moon In The Sky

Scarlet Soul Emperor wasn't panicked as he released scarlet mist to protect himself.

Boom!

The thick red light immediately exploded upon touching the scarlet mist, causing the entire mine to tremble.

Hongyue didn't stop at that. Her figure suddenly appeared beside Scarlet Soul Emperor, and her eyes lit up with scary red lights as she stuck her hand out. In that instant, an immeasurably frenzied vortex of energy appeared around Scarlet Soul Emperor and engulfed him completely.

Scarlet Soul Emperor's expression abruptly changed upon seeing this. He hurriedly released thick scarlet mist to shroud himself. At the same time, he also secretly sent several soul tentacles toward Yun Ruanyu and others through the ground.

"Naïve." Hongyue sneered. She naturally saw this. She waved her hand gently, and all the soul tentacles in the ground were immediately swallowed by the energy vortex.

Scarlet Soul Emperor gritted his teeth, staring at Hongyue with hatred. He knew that he couldn't continue like this. There was no need to restrain himself anymore.

Scarlet Soul Emperor's illusory face distorted as he chanted. "Scarlet… Devouring… Soul!!"

As he chanted those words in a voice filled with enough hate to encompass the universe. A boundless scarlet curtain descended from above. It instantly plunged everyone in the mine into a quagmire of the scarlet world as that terrifying devouring power immediately assaulted both everyone's body and soul.

Yun Ruanyu, Yun Meilan, and Yun Huanxin hurriedly formed a profound barrier to cover everyone, but it seemed to be futile as they felt every cell in their bodies seemed to be swarmed by countless sinister hands which tried to drag them toward the abyss of death.

Hongyue's brows raised slightly. She thought Scarlet Soul Emperor was already at the end of his rope. She didn't expect him to have enough energy to release his ultimate trump card.

Nevertheless, Hongyue didn't think about it much. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she pointed her finger toward the ceiling, more precisely, toward the sky.

On the outside, the black clouds and thunder roarings gradually dissipated as Yun Lintian fell unconscious. Before people on the island could rejoice, the sky suddenly darkened. It was even darker than before.

In the midst of darkness, a bright red moon lit up, painting the dark world into red color as though everything was dyed with blood.

Du Huanfeng, who was heading toward the Black Jade mine, stopped his track and looked at the sky in shock. He was always proud of his knowledge, but this red moon wasn't something he could comprehend.

"This… Is this a domain?" Du San created a profound defense around Du Huanfeng and started at the red moon in doubt.

Du Huanfeng stared at the sky for a while and turned to Du San. "Quick. We have to enter the mine now."

Du San nodded, and everyone rushed toward the mine.

"What…?" At the passage entrance, An Lang exclaimed in shock when the space was covered with red light.

Ji Zhiyin, who was treating Lei Feifei, stopped her movement and hurriedly erected a profound defense before saying. "It should come from inside."

An Lang turned to look at the Black Jade wall that once became the passage entrance and did not know what to do.

"What happened here?… How could Island Master become like this?" At this moment, An Hua appeared and hurriedly checked on the unconscious Zhou Qingyu.

An Lang quickly explained. "They are likely to encounter a powerful enemy behind this wall. It was Elder Mu who sent them out."

"Elder Mu?" An Hua frowned. "Where is he now?"

An Lang opened his mouth, but no words came out. He was quite sure that Yun Lintian was already dead. A mere fifth level of Heaven Profound practitioner couldn't possibly survive under the enemy that even a peak monarch couldn't do anything about.

An Hua's complexion became solemn when she saw An Lang's reaction. A complicated feeling arose in her heart. From An Lang's words earlier, it should be easy for Yun Lintian to escape alone, but he actually sacrificed himself in order to save everyone.

She took a deep breath and asked. "Have you tried to reopen it?"

An Lang nodded. "I did try, but it seems impossible to open it again."

An Hua didn't say anything but took her short sword out and slashed at the Black Jade wall. With a bang, there was only a small trace left on the wall, while the wall itself didn't even budge an inch.

Seeing this, An Hua quickly made a decision. "Bring everyone back first. I have already notified everyone. We will enter the highest alert level and wait for Island Master to regain her consciousness."

An Lang nodded and turned to Ji Zhiyin. "Elder Ji?"

Ji Zhiyin thought for a moment and said. "Let's go."

In fact, if it was possible, she wanted to leave this island right away. However, counting the relationship between Lei Feifei and Zhou Qingyu, she would definitely get punished by Lei Feifei if she did that.

Just as they were about to move, Du Huanfeng's group and Black Wing's elder group suddenly walked toward them.

Du Huanfeng glanced at the unconscious four in surprise and asked curiously. "What's going on here?"

An Lang kept glancing at An Hua, waiting for her decision.

An Hua thought briefly and explained everything she heard. Although Du Huanfeng was dangerous, she believed he wouldn't do anything reckless here. After all, Lei Feifei's status was still there.

Du Huanfeng frowned and said in doubt. "You mean, there was a powerful figure behind this wall, and Mu Chen was the one who brought everyone out?… That's not right. How could he still be fine while these monarchs become like this?"

It was at this moment did An Hua, An Lang, and Ji Zhiyin became aware of this matter. As Du Huanfeng said. Even the strong, like Zhou Qingyu and others, had fallen unconscious. It was impossible for a weakling like Yun Lintian to stay fine.

Countless possibilities flashed across Du Huanfeng's mind as he stared at the Black Jade wall. A moment later, the corner of his mouth curved up into a smile as he said. "Interesting…"
