Chapter 1238 Four God Emperors (2)

Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing the four names. Without Hongyue's confirmation, Yun Lintian believed these people should have something to do with the downfall of the Beyond Heaven King.

"Although there are four of them, their influences have penetrated many middle and lower realms. When you step into the Divine Realm, you will understand what I mean." Hongyue explained further.

"In the Divine Realm, the God Emperors have made an agreement that all of them should not interfere with the middle and lower realm's matters. However, that's just on the surface. Everyone knows many of them have secretly manipulated those realms behind the scenes."

"Just like this so-called Myriad Star Divine Emperor. Without a doubt, one of those four is behind his back, or perhaps all of them."

Hongyue paused briefly and expressed her thoughts. "I suspect that they know something about this Azure World. It's not only about the Beyond Heaven King's legacy but also something related to the unusual event here. That's why I think you should check the world's core out as soon as possible."

Yun Lintian nodded in an understanding manner. As much as he wanted to know more about these four God Emperors, he didn't dare to ask it.

Hongyue seemed to see through his thought. She explained. "Your guess is correct. They had something to do with the Beyond Heaven King's downfall."

A strange light flashed through Yun Lintian's eyes when he heard this. The way Hongyue spoke seemed to indicate that they were simply playing a part in it. It seemed there was another group of people behind this incident.

The Heaven Desolate God Emperor was already considered the second person under the Beyond Heaven King, but he had only played a part in it… Could it be the one that was responsible for the Beyond Heaven King's demise was even stronger than that?

If the Beyond Heaven King was the ceiling of the Divine Realm. Who could be stronger than him, then? A True God?

The more he thought about this, the heavier Yun Lintian's heart became. Even though he was aware that the matter behind the Beyond Heaven King incident was not ordinary, he didn't expect it to be to this extent.

"It's good that you are aware of the situation, but you shouldn't worry about it much. After all, it's too far away from you. What you should focus on right now is the mystery behind this world and the Spatial Wheel." Hongyue said. "Once you solve all of these problems, you will be able to ascend with no worries."

Yun Lintian took a deep breath and said. "Understood."

He then raised his head slightly to look at the group of white clouds ahead…

Roar—

At the coastal area on the southern part of the Central Continent, countless profound beasts were frenziedly attacking a large army of practitioners.

"Hurry up. Go there and hold the line!"

"We can't! We simply don't have any extra forces left… Arghhh!"

"Senior Sister… No! Don't die! Senior Sister!"

At the front line, many practitioners couldn't withstand the crazy attacks from the horde of profound beasts. Wails, shouts, and screams which seemed to border on the edge of despair reverberate throughout the entire space.

Every single breath of this vicious battle between the humans and these berserk profound beasts was incomparably violent and terrible.

The usually green region had long ago been completely soaked in scarlet blood, and the wind carried along a stench of blood that was so acrid that it made one feel nauseous.

On the distant small hill, an old man said to a middle-aged man beside him. "Sect Master, we cannot hold it anymore! The Rising Sun Sect has been completely eradicated already. We shouldn't stubbornly fight these beasts like them! Let's flee…."

"Roar!"

"Arghhhh!"

Before the old man could finish his sentence, he suddenly saw a gigantic black lion with devilish wings soar into the sky and land on the crowd before slaughtering them like cutting weeds.

Each time the lion swept its sharp claw, human flesh could be seen flying into the air.

"That… The peak Monarch Profound Beast! Moreover, its strength has already surpassed the threshold of the Monarch Profound Realm!" The old man exclaimed in shock.

The middle-aged man beside him had the same shocking expression on his face as he watched the lion slaughter his people.

"Run… Everyone, RUN!" The middle-aged man came to his sense and let out a roar while soaring into the sky.

"Sect Master!" The old man shouted in horror when he saw his sect master fly toward the lion.

"Go! Bring everyone away. I will hold it back!" The middle-aged man roared as he released all of his power at once. A long sword silently appeared in his hand as he swung it toward the lion with everything he had.

The lion noticed the middle-aged man's aura. Its eyes turned into a slit as it spoke. "Are you in a hurry to become this seat's food? I shall grant your wish then."

The lion grinned evilly as it swept its claw toward the incoming attack fearlessly.

The middle-aged man knew that his strength was far inferior to the lion, but he couldn't back down. He gritted his teeth and exerted every bit of his power into this attack while roaring.

Bang!

The space trembled violently as the claw and the sword collided. The explosion that came afterward immediately blasted everyone around the lion and the middle-aged man away.

Crackle!

The long sword in the middle-aged man's hand broke in half directly when it touched the lion's claw. At the same time, the power emitted from the claw immediately cut the middle-aged man's chest, leaving a terrifyingly deep wound in it.

Blood spurted into the air as the middle-aged man was sent flying into where he came from.

"Sect Master!" The old man shouted in horror upon seeing this scene.

"GO! Run for your life!" He then gritted his teeth and urged everyone to run while he himself rushing toward his sect master.

"Heh. Do you think you can run?" The lion stood proudly, looking at the fleeing humans with contempt.

Just as it was about to make a move, a sense of danger suddenly emerged in its heart. The lion instinctively retreated in a flash.

At this moment, countless golden sword beams shot down from the sky, bombarding the profound beasts below.
