Myth Beyond Heaven

Nantian Fengyu turned, her fiery gaze landing on a man clad in the familiar dark blue armor of the Eastern Region Army. He stood with an air of arrogance, his eyes gleaming with avarice as The stared at her.

"You," he sneered, "you possess the bloodline of the Divine Phoenix. A rare find indeed." He took a step closer, his predatory intent clear. "Submit to me, and I might consider sparing your life. You can serve as my cultivation furnace, helping me refine my own bloodline." Nantian Fengyu's lips curled into a disdainful smile. "Cultivation furnace? You?" She let out a melodious laugh that echoed through the desolate landscape. "You're just a measly God Ascension Realm ant. Do you truly believe you have the right to make demands of me?"

The man's face flushed with anger. "Insolent girl! Do you know who I am? I am Qin Muyang, a commander in the Eastern Region Army! Defy me, and you will face the wrath of the entire army!"

Nantian Fengyu's laughter intensified. "The Eastern Region Army? What a joke. Even your so- called general wouldn't dare speak to me in such a manner." Her eyes narrowed, and a terrifying aura erupted from her, the air shimmering with the intensity of her Phoenix flames. "I am Nantian Fengyu, descendant of the Divine Phoenix! You dare threaten me?"

Qin Muyang faltered, a flicker of doubt crossing his arrogant features. The suffocating pressure emanating from Nantian Fengyu, the sheer intensity of her Phoenix flames, gave him pause.

He had initially dismissed her as a lone cultivator, ripe for the taking. But now, he realized his mistake. This woman was no ordinary cultivator. Her bloodline was potent, her power undeniable.

However, pride and greed quickly quelled his hesitation. He was a commander in the Eastern Region Army, accustomed to authority and respect. He refused to back down, to be intimidated by a mere woman, even one with a formidable bloodline.

"So be it," he snarled, drawing his weapon, a long spear that crackled with lightning. "If you choose defiance, then prepare to face the consequences!"

He lunged forward, his spear thrusting towards Nantian Fengyu with lightning speed. The desolate landscape was illuminated by the blinding flash of his attack, the air crackling with the energy of his assault.

Nantian Fengyu met his attack with a disdainful flick of her wrist. A torrent of scorching Phoenix flames erupted from her palm, engulfing Qin Muyang's spear and forcing him back.

The flames danced and swirled, their heat so intense that they seemed to distort the very air around them.

"You!" Qin Muyang gritted his teeth, channeling his divine energy into his spear, desperately trying to resist the overwhelming power of the Phoenix flames. But it was a futile effort. The flames devoured his lightning, their searing heat burning his flesh, forcing him to stumble back in retreat.

Nantian Fengyu's lips twisted into a cruel smile. "Is that all?" she taunted, her voice cracking like a whip against the desolate silence. "How pathetic. You dare call yourself a commander in the East Region Army? What a weakling to lead an army."

Qin Muyang roared in fury, his pride wounded. He signaled his troops, a dozen or so cultivators who had been lurking in the shadows, watching the confrontation with a mix of apprehension and bloodlust.

"Attack!" he bellowed. "Capture that woman! She will be a valuable asset to our army!" Swoosh!

The soldiers, emboldened by their commander's order and the prospect of reward, charged towards Nantian Fengyu, their weapons gleaming with murderous intent.

Nantian Fengyu's eyes blazed with disdain. "Fools," she muttered, her voice laced with a chilling indifference.

With a graceful wave of her hand, a tempest of Phoenix flames erupted from her body, engulfing the charging soldiers in a fiery inferno.

"ARGHHH!!" Their screams echoed through the desolate landscape as the flames consumed their flesh, their bones, their very souls.

Qin Muyang watched in horror as his soldiers were incinerated before his eyes, their screams turning to ashes in the searing heat. Fear, cold and sharp, pierced through his arrogance. He realized the true extent of Nantian Fengyu's power, the terrifying might of the Divine Phoenix bloodline.

He turned to flee, his pride forgotten, his only thought survival. But Nantian Fengyu wouldn't let him escape so easily.

"Did I say you could leave?" she asked, her voice a chilling whisper that carried across the battlefield.

With a flick of her wrist, a wave of Phoenix flames erupted, chasing after the fleeing Qin Muyang. He screamed in terror as the flames closed in, their heat licking at his heels.

He desperately threw out talismans, creating barriers and distractions, but it was all in vain. The Phoenix flames devoured everything in their path, their relentless pursuit a testament to Nantian Fengyu's fury.

Just as the flames were about to engulf him, Qin Muyang activated a life-saving talisman, teleporting him away from the battlefield, leaving behind nothing but the lingering stench of burnt flesh and a trail of ashes.

Nantian Fengyu watched his cowardly retreat, her expression a mixture of disdain and amusement. "Such a weakling," she scoffed. "He dared to threaten me."

She shook her head, her fiery hair swirling around her like a living flame. She would not waste any more time on such insignificant foes.

"You're in trouble," A female voice suddenly rang out, and a beautiful figure with a white veil covering her face slowly walked over.

Nantian Fengyu raised a fiery eyebrow, her gaze settling on the mysterious woman. "And you are?" she asked, her voice laced with a hint of caution.

She couldn't sense the woman's cultivation level, which meant the woman was either a mortal or someone far stronger than her. The former was obviously impossible in this place.

The woman stopped a few paces away, her veiled face obscuring her expression. "You can call me Tantai Xue," she said, her voice like the gentle tinkling of jade. "I'm glad to see you here, Nantian Fengyu, the descendant of the Divine Phoenix."

Nantian Fengyu's eyes narrowed. "You know me?"

Tantai Xue chuckled softly. "Your display of power just now was quite impressive. It's not every day one sees a God Ascension Realm cultivator fleeing in terror from a mere junior."

"He was an idiot," Nantian Fengyu scoffed.

"Indeed," Tantai Xue agreed. "But his foolishness has inadvertently revealed your true strength, your precious bloodline. That is a mistake that may come back to haunt you." Nantian Fengyu frowned. "What do you mean?"
