Scarlet Soul Emperor looked at Yun Lintian gloomily. “It’s worthy of being the Beyond Heaven King’s successor. However, your current strength is too weak. Otherwise, I’m sure not your opponent.” .
Yun Lintian took a deep breath and said. “Who are you?”
“Me?” Scarlet Soul Emperor chuckled. “People called me Scarlet Soul Emperor. As for why I am here. Long story short, I came here to find Beyond Heaven King, but I was ambushed by that bitch, Xia Nongyue.”
“Find Beyond Heaven King?” Yun Lintian’s eyes flashed with doubt… Why would Beyond Heaven King appear in this lower world? And how did the Gate of Beyond Heaven fall into father’s hand?
“You don’t know?” Scarlet Soul Emperor was surprised. He stared at Yun Lintian’s face for a while and smiled. “I see. You don’t know anything about him at all… Is he trying to protect his successor until the end? Hah, as expected from a coward like him.” His face was full of mockery as he spoke to this point.
Yun Lintian was visibly confused as he heard this… What did he mean?
“Stop thinking and go all out already if you don’t want to die here!” Hongyue yelled angrily.
Yun Lintian put his doubts aside and took a deep breath. Since Scarlet Soul Emperor knew his identity, there was no point in holding back further.
Yun Lintian sent a sound transmission to Linlin. “Linlin, big brother is going to summon the crown. Can you restrain him for a while?”
“No problem,” Linlin responded. She turned into a golden bolt of lightning and rushed toward Scarlet Soul Emperor.
At the same time, Yun Lintian’s mind moved, and the Beyond Heaven King’s Crown appeared on his head. He could feel the almost out-of-control Thunder within his body immediately calm down, letting him gain complete control.
“Come out!” Yun Lintian shouted, and his whole body was immediately shrouded with golden lightning.
Rumble—
On the outside, the sky above the Black Jade Island suddenly darkened. Black clouds quickly gathered together, accompanied by thunder roarings that made the soul of everyone on the island tremble.
Du Huanfeng stood on the balcony and stared at the sky with a frown between his brows.
“What is this?” Du San had also looked at the sky in doubt. He could feel an enormous power hiding behind those black clouds, as though something terrible would be unleashed soon.
“Report, Young Master! It has been confirmed. Zhou Qingyu, Lei Feifei, Lei Jin, and two of Black Wing’s elders had gone to the mine. The entrance is heavily guarded by An Hua. We are trying to investigate the situation below right now.” A man in black suddenly walked into the room and knelt down on one knee behind Du Huanfeng.
“Oh?” Du Huanfeng’s brows pricked up in surprise. “Can you bypass the guard?”
The man in black shook his head. “I can’t, Young Master. An Hua is the most powerful general under Zhou Qingyu’s command. Her strength is beyond me.”
“I see.” Du Huanfeng opened his jade fan and fanned gently. “It seems I have to go down personally… Let’s go.”
Du San sent a signal to the other three protectors and followed Du Huanfeng out of the room.

Scarlet Soul Emperor kept avoiding Linlin’s attacks while looking at Yun Lintian. His illusory face immediately sank when he saw the gorgeous crown with three gems shining brightly on Yun Lintian’s head.
“Not good!” Scarlet Soul Emperor perceived a tremendous power brewing above the island. He instantly figured out Yun Lintian’s intention and sent Linlin flying before charging at Yun Lintian.
At this moment, Yun Lintian could feel every cell on his body was brimming with enormous lightning power. It was as though every bit of lightning element in this world was under his control.
When he saw Scarlet Soul Emperor coming, Yun Lintian’s figure blurred slightly and vanished from the spot, leaving behind several after images. He reappeared behind Scarlet Soul Emperor and sent out a punch covered with golden lightning sparks.
Scarlet Soul Emperor snorted coldly, and a scarlet-colored mist burst out of his body once again. However, this time, Yun Lintian’s fist was actually passed through the mist easily and fiercely hit the back of Scarlet Soul Emperor.
Bang!
“Argh!” A large hole appeared in the Scarlet Soul Emperor’s illusory body. He let out a grunt as he was sent away.
Linlin immediately seized this chance to catch up with Scarlet Soul Emperor and grabbed hold of the latter’s body with her giant claw. Golden bolts of lightning quickly transmitted from Linlin’s body to Scarlet Soul Emperor and directly shattered a large portion of the latter’s body.
“Ugh!” Scarlet Soul Emperor was blasted away, but he managed to stabilize himself above the altar.
He looked at his missing body with anger before turning to Yun Lintian. “Good! You forced me to do this!”
As his voice fell, he stretched out his scarlet arm as a cluster of scarlet mist coalesced in front of him. After that, it started to pulsate like an enormous living organ.
In the Land of Beyond Heaven, Hongyue’s expression changed drastically as she shouted. “Hurry up and let me out! You can’t handle this!”
Before Yun Lintian could react, Scarlet Soul Emperor stretched out his finger, and the scarlet mist fiercely tore itself apart as it shot out a thousand bolts of scarlet lightning that stormed in Yun Lintian’s location.
Every single bolt of scarlet lightning was as slender as a needle, but the might contained within each bolt of lightning caused all the hairs on Yun Lintian’s body to stand on end as he instantly went pale.
“Don’t confront it! Doge all of them! If you are hit by any one of them, it will directly harm your soul!” Hongyue bellowed.
Yun Lintian did not even stop to think about it. His body transformed into shadow and reappeared beside Linlin, Lei Feifei, Zhou Qingyu, Qin Wuji, and Lei Jin. He grabbed hold of them and constantly activated Shadow Step to escape to the passage at the fastest speed possible.
