Myth Beyond Heaven

"The God Tomb is divided into five major regions," Tang Wei explained, his voice taking on a professorial tone. "The first, where we currently stand, is the floating island. Filled with natural beauty and abundant resources, it's perfect for those new to the Tomb's energies. But don't let the scenery fool you – even low-level profound beasts here pack a punch."

He pointed towards a distant island where a creature with shimmering fur grazed, its eyes glowing with an unsettling intelligence.

"The second region," he continued, pointing in a different direction, "is the Trial Grounds. Here, formations and challenges test your strength and mental fortitude. It's a brutal weeding-out process, separating the strong from the weak."

"Beyond that lies a desolate land," Tang Wei said, his voice dropping a notch lower. It's a harsh environment teeming with powerful, profound beasts and volatile energies. It's said that remnants of God's power linger there, waiting to be claimed by the worthy—or consumed by the foolish."

A shiver ran down some spines at the mention of the God's power.

"The fourth region," Tang Wei went on, a hint of awe creeping into his voice, "is the Palace of Illusions. A labyrinth of mental deception said to hold the deepest desires and darkest fears of those who enter. Only the most resolute minds can navigate its treacherous path."

"And finally," he concluded, his voice dropping to a hushed whisper, "lies the heart of the God Tomb—the Divine Mausoleum, where the God's true resting place is rumored to be. Legends speak of treasures beyond imagination and power beyond comprehension. But it's also said to be guarded by entities so formidable, even the strongest cultivators tremble at the thought."

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. The God Tomb was indeed filled with danger but also the promise of unimaginable rewards. The question now was, who would be brave enough – or foolish enough – to delve deeper?

Yun Lintian listened intently as Tang Wei finished his explanation. The God Tomb sounded different from what he initially thought. Five distinct regions offered a different challenge – from resource-rich beauty to trials of strength and mind to the lure of God's power.

"So, this island is a safe zone then?" Xun Lang asked, his brows furrowed. "Except for the profound beasts, of course."

Tang Wei chuckled awkwardly. "Safe zone? Not exactly. It's more like a… kindergarten for newbies in the God Tomb. There might not be immediate danger, but complacency can be deadly here. Remember, even the 'low-level' profound beasts here are more ferocious than anything you'd encounter outside."

Roar!

Tang Wei's last words hung heavy in the air as a sudden tremor shook the ground beneath them. The once serene landscape seemed to twist in response, settling over the group with a disquiet. Birds scattered from the nearby trees, their frantic cries echoing.

"What's happening?"

The crowd became panic, searching for the source of the disturbance.

Boom! Boom! BOOM!

In the distance, a low rumble echoed, growing louder with each passing moment. The ground throbbed rhythmically, and a plume of dust rose from the horizon, obscuring the view. A sense of immense pressure began to build, an invisible weight pressing down on them.

Xun Lang, his jovial demeanor replaced by stark terror, croaked, "T-that aura…"

Even Tang Wei, usually full of bluster, paled considerably. His eyes darted around frantically, searching for an escape route. "No… We can't be this unlucky," he exclaimed, his voice barely a whisper.

His worst fear materialized as the dust cloud finally parted, revealing a sight that sent shivers down their spines. A colossal creature emerged, its form dwarfing the surrounding mountains. Its obsidian scales glinted in the sunlight, and each step it took sent tremors through the ground.

The beast, a monstrous serpent with eyes like molten gold, surveyed the landscape with a predatory gaze. Its aura, heavy with ancient power, pressed down on them like an invisible hand, choking the air from their lungs. The world seemed to slow down, the only sound of their terrified hearts pounding.

Recognition dawned on Yun Lintian's face. This was no ordinary profound beast. Its oppressive aura, sheer size, and power all pointed to one terrifying possibility—a profound beast on the Lower God Realm.

Except for Yun Lintian's group and the Tang siblings, most people here were on the Divine Emperor Realm. There was no way for them to fight such a powerful beast.

"Ah..."

A collective gasp escaped the group as the enormity of the situation sank in. They were mere ants before such a creature, and their hopes of claiming treasures were instantly dashed.

"This…" Fear, cold and primal, gripped them all. Xun Lang, his legs buckling under him, crumpled to the ground, whimpering incoherently. He was a God Emperor, but it was useless here.

"Run!" Tang Wei roared, his voice cracking with strain. "Scatter and run for your lives! Maybe, just maybe, it won't chase after you!"

His words sparked a flicker of hope. With a surge of adrenaline, the group broke formation, desperate to escape the Lower God profound beast's notice.

Tang Yumei glanced at Yun Lintian's group with a hint of surprise in her eyes. Because of the concealment, Yun Lintian and his companions appeared to be God Emperors. It was normal for Tang Yumei to be surprised by their calm demeanors.

"Hey, big brother. Why don't you run with your sisters?" Tang Wei looked at Yun Lintian and shouted anxiously. "Don't look at me like that. I am no match for this big guy. But don't worry. I will distract it. Hurry up and run!"

Yun Lintian looked at Tang Wei with a hint of appreciation. It was rare to see a kindhearted person here.

"Roar!" The Lower God beast's gaze fixed on everyone here unleashed a deafening roar that split the sky. The very air crackled with power as it opened its enormous maw, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth. A wave of terrifying energy surged towards them, threatening to obliterate them all.

"F*ck!" Tang Wei exclaimed in shock. "It's the peak level one!"

Tang Wei gritted his teeth, his earlier anxiety replaced by a reckless determination. He thrust his hand forward, summoning a shimmering blade of pure energy.

He channeled every ounce of his power, making the energy blade hum with a vibrant glow. He knew attacking this Lower God beast was utter madness – a suicide mission at best. But the sight of those faces, filled with terror, had ignited a spark of courage within him. He wouldn't let them die without a fight!
