《Myth Beyond Heaven 》Chapter 158: Escape With Lightning
Advertisement
Yun Lintian completely lost the connection when his alarm formation was dismantled by Lei Jun's bodyguards. Right now, he had no idea what happened on Lei Jun's side. A sense of urgency forced Yun Lintian to choose between entering the Land of Beyond Heaven and rushed out of here as soon as possible.
The first choice was, of course, the safest way, but Yun Lintian did not know how long he had to stay there. What if Lei Jun decided to camp here and waited for him? As for the second choice, with his speed, he had no chance to escape from the Ruler Profound practitioner like Lei Jun's bodyguards.
What to do now? Yun Lintian thought. Suddenly, he saw a lightning bolt flashed in the distance, and a bold idea popped up in his mind… The lightning element can interfere with Spiritual Sense. What if I cover myself with lightning? Yun Lintian recalled the earlier experience when he used Eyes of Heaven and failed to see those profound beasts' strength.
Without further ado, Yun Lintian summoned the crown and moved his mind to gather the surrounding lightning element. Instantaneously, Yun Lintian's body was covered with dense lightning energy, turning him into a golden human.
In order to distract the enemy, Yun Lintian activated the self-destruction function on the formation he set up and stared at the night sky, waiting for the right time.
Zzzzziii…Bang!
As Yun Lintian saw several lightning bolts descended simultaneously, he quickly rushed out of the formation, heading in the opposite direction of Lei Jun with all his might.
"Hmm?" One of Lei Jun's bodyguards noticed something and saw a golden human figure fled away in a flash. Without hesitation, he quickly gave a chase. However, just as he passed the conceal formation that Yun Lintian left behind, a sense of danger appeared in his heart, and he instinctively conjured a protective barrier around him.

Boom!
The explosion swept the surrounding area like a raging tide, sending the bodyguard's body away several meters while Lei Jun, Ming Wu, and Qi Yuanfeng were quickly hiding behind their protective barriers. The impact continued for a full minute before disappearing.
Lei Jun didn't dare to remove his barrier. He contacted his bodyguards with a solemn expression. "Have you discovered something?"
The bodyguard who spotted Yun Lintian earlier reported back after stabilizing his body on the ground. "I've discovered a human figure. His entire body is covered with lightning energy. I couldn't see his face clearly."
Lei Jun's brows knitted together and ordered. "Chase!" Following that, he rushed in Yun Lintian's direction.
Ming Wu and Qi Yuanfeng looked at each other, and the latter said. "This is similar to the Misty Cloud Sect's incident back then. Without a doubt, this person is someone from the Misty Cloud Sect."
The image of the man who walked with Lan Ning at the Blue Moon inn appeared in Qi Yuanfeng's mind. He was now certain that person was Yun Lintian.
"Go." Ming Wu became excited as soon as he heard this and chased Lei Jun, followed by Qi Yuanfeng and the other five bodyguards.
Yun Lintian poured every ounce of his profound energy into his legs as he constantly activated the Shadow Step. It was because Yun Lintian's Beyond Heaven Profound Vein was ten times larger than an ordinary profound vein, he could sustain the Shadow Step's consumption for an extended period. If it were average profound practitioners, they would exhaust their profound energy by now.
In Thunder Valley, flying here was akin to suicide. No matter how powerful they were, they could only walk or run on the ground. Otherwise, they would be hit by thunder.
The path ahead was narrowed, could only contain two people at a time. Yun Lintian's mind flashed with another idea. With the crown on his head, Yun Lintian had the power to control a portion of the lightning element. While he passed through the narrowed path, Yun Lintian pierced a long iron spear on the ground with the pointy side upturn. He also sent a trace of lightning element into it.

That was right. Yun Lintian tried to make a simple lightning rod. Whether it was working as he expected, Yun Lintian didn't care about it. All he wanted to do was to delay the chaser as much as possible.
When the bodyguard who was closest to Yun Lintian's position arrived at the narrowed path, he was taken aback upon seeing the spear stood tall in the distance. His lips arched into a contempt smile when he saw through Yun Lintian's plan. "Heh… want to use such a useless trick to stop me? How naïve."
He gathered profound energy in his palm and sent it to the spear, aiming to blast it away. However, he didn't expect that the moment he sent his power out, the lightning element within the spear suddenly sparked, calling a golden lightning strike from the sky.
Bang!
The lightning bolt struck right on the tip of the spear and ultimately burned it into powder. Instead of going straight to the ground, the golden lightning spread to the surrounding area like a spider web.
The bodyguard was shocked and hurriedly conjured a protective barrier while retreating.
As Lei Jun said, the Divine Thunder Profound Art was useless against the lightning bolt here. How could the bodyguard who practice Heaven-rank profound art stand against it? His protective barrier immediately shattered upon being touched by the trace of a lightning bolt, rendering him powerless to defend.
Puff!
The bodyguard coughed up fresh blood as he was sent away by the impact.
Yun Lintian didn't know the situation behind him, but he could guess his plan worked. He didn't expect to inflict damage on the chaser by doing that, but he hoped the lightning strike could make the chaser stop for five seconds.
Yun Lintian had no time to follow the result. He looked at the path ahead of him vigilantly, thinking whether he would encounter others if he continued in this direction.
It was as though the goddess of fate wanted to play with him. Yun Lintian suddenly discovered a movement behind the tree in the distance, causing him to halt his step.
"Who?" When Yun Lintian turned his body around, preparing to run, he heard a familiar voice rang out from that direction, making him stop his action.
Wait a moment…Lin Xinyao? Yun Lintian immediately recognized the identity of the opposite party.

8 128The Bronze Players of Recreation
The world of Creation has seen a recent explosion of what can only be called an adventurer’s culture over the past few decades. People who were once looked at as nothing more than lower class mercenaries rose to the ranks of heroes and legends as adventuring became recognized as an idealized lifestyle of overcoming hardship and finding triumph. With the establishment of a guild-based government system on the continent of Terramania, adventurers were soon legitimized and adventuring became a phenomenon universally accepted around the world. Redlette had retreated from this world to live on Earth for the remainder of her years, having been born and outcast by the gods of Creation. However, upon meeting a friend that she treasured dearly, she found herself longing for a return to her world—she wanted to experience it properly and go on adventures with someone whom she holds dear. Putting a plan into action, she meets with her friend, an awkward, nerdy boy by the username of Herring who she’d only known through years of playing online games with him, and invites him to go on this fantastic adventure with her. An adventure in another world had always been an impossible dream for Herring, but when he suddenly found himself with the opportunity to embark on one, he knew it wouldn’t be as simple as books and shows made it out to be. Redlette was notorious for rushing into things without thinking them through, and he was flighty and weak. In the games they played together, they rarely grasped victory. They were losers through and through, both in hobby and life. Despite this, though, he takes the leap and sets off with Redlette into the world of Creation. Together they only had one goal: to have fun and go on the adventure of their lives. This time, they’d establish a guild of their own and be free to take on whatever exploits their hearts desired. This is the story of the founding of their guild. Author’s Notes: -My writing style is largely based off of the absurd amount of light novels I’ve read and anime I’ve watched, so it may come off as cartoonish or exaggerative at times. If that isn’t your thing, I’d steer clear of this story.-Not an MMO story.-No numerical stats.-Relatively slow pacing.-Posts are between 2000-5000 words weekly after Chapter 1.

8 138The White Room
A group of gamers are hired as guinea pigs to test a new VR system. None of them know what exactly to expect. Is the new system bing tested, or is it them? Are they just there for games, or is there a greater game being played? My first attempt at writing LitRPG. I I'm learning as I go and therefore will probably stumble over numerous cliches of the genre and writing in general. Definitely a work in progress.

8 174The Beauty Of The End
William was abandoned by his family and left with a mother who detests him. He is forced into a life of crime, stealing just to feed his mother and himself. But that changes when he's given an opportunity to turn over a new leaf in a world of magic, war and tragedy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Beauty Of The End takes place in a fantasy medieval world where magic exists in multiple forms. William is a boy abandoned by his family and left with a mother who detests him, and at a young age is forced into crime just to feed the both of them. But one day he is visited by a knight order who tell him he has potential for magic. Listening to their words, he leaves to start a new life and train to become a mage like them. The Beauty Of The End updates every day and I'm hoping to push out 100+ chapters consisting off, at the minimum, five arcs. Sometimes there might be double uploads to make up for a break I might've taken. I have most of the story planned out in my head and am just writing down where I think the story should go. I have planned up to arc 2 and maybe some ideas for 3, but that's about it. Thoughts and criticism are appreciated, there's obviously going to be grammar and maybe spelling mistakes that'll I'll try to spot and fix. I might occasionally post chapters that explain certain parts of the world, e.g. lore, countries, organizations, species, magic etc.
