Myth Beyond Heaven Chapter 1886 The Bridge of Oblivion (2)

Chapter 1886 The Bridge of Oblivion (2)

Yun Lintian activated the Eyes of Heaven, attempting to peer into the bridge. However, he couldn’t see anything remarkable except for the intense aura of death.

Before arriving here, he learned about the bridge from Qing Heng. For instance, there were numerous trials and tests awaiting him as he kept moving forward. And if he wanted to leave, he could simply infuse his spiritual energy into the token.

As for the type of trials, Qing Heng told him that they were completely random. Everyone would experience different trials at the beginning, and they would eventually meet each other in the higher trials.

“Strange.” Yun Lintian muttered to himself as he walked toward the bridge.

The closer he moved to the bridge, the thicker the fog became. Yun Lintian could barely see his own hands as he arrived in front of the bridge.

“Hmm?” Suddenly, Yun Lintian noticed a statue of a man with an ox head on his left side.

He suddenly recalled the Chinese mythology he had heard about back on Earth. It was said that the Ox-Head and Horse-Face were the first beings a dead soul would encounter upon entering the netherworld. Both of them served as guardians of the passage to the netherworld.

Yun Lintian carefully examined the statue and noticed several cracks on it. It seemed as though the statue could crumble at any moment.

To verify the information, Yun Lintian turned around and walked toward the right side of the bridge. Soon, he spotted another statue. It was a man with a horse face.

“So, the myth is true.” Yun Lintian said to himself.

Compared to the ox-headed statue, the horse-faced statue was in much better condition. Except for a few cracks on the body, its head was almost perfectly intact.

“Friend…” Gui Xuan suddenly pointed at the horse-face statue and said gently.

“Friend?” Yun Lintian subconsciously stepped back and looked at the statue carefully once more.

However, he didn’t feel or see anything unusual.

“Mhm… Friend.” Gui Xuan responded firmly.

Yun Lintian touched his chin, deep in thought. Perhaps the first generation of the Black Turtle God was a friend of the Ox-Head and the Horse-Face. It made Gui Xuan recognize them.

Yun Lintian sighed and said. “Unfortunately, it seemed that they had completely disappeared.”

Without a doubt, both Ox-Head and Horse-Face were alive in the past. They probably disappeared along with the Yama King and the others.

Gui Xuan blinked several times as he gazed at the horse-faced statue. A moment later, he lost interest and rested his chin on Yun Lintian’s shoulder.

Yun Lintian turned to look at the thick fog ahead of him before stepping onto the bridge.

In that instant, Yun Lintian felt as though he had just entered a whole new world. The aura of death thickened, along with the fog. He couldn’t even see his feet at this point.

Yun Lintian tightened his grip around Gui Xuan and advanced.

At this moment, Yun Lintian completely failed to notice the change in the horse-faced statue. As soon as he stepped forward, the head of the statue slowly turned to look at him, revealing a strange smile.

Gui Xuan, who had his head resting on Yun Lintian’s shoulder, looked at the Horse-Face and smiled as if he were greeting the horse-faced statue.

The horse-faced statue watched as Yun Lintian completely vanished into the thick fog before returning to its original state as if nothing had happened…

Awooo—

A horrifying howling sound suddenly poured over from all directions as Yun Lintian moved forward. It sounded like a beast, but Yun Lintian felt it was more like the howl of a human in agony.

For some reason, Yun Lintian’s hair stood on end. He felt as if he had truly entered the netherworld for the first time.

As he walked, a massive amount of deathly aura surged around him, and the howling sound intensified. At first, it felt as though the source of the sound was a few hundred meters away from him, but now it was only fifty meters away.

Yun Lintian raised his guard and came to a halt. Through the Eyes of Heaven, he saw something moving in the path ahead. However, he couldn’t see it clearly.

“Help me…”

A cold and eerie human voice suddenly resounded.

Yun Lintian looked around vigilantly. He tried to expand his spiritual sense outward, but it couldn’t reach beyond twenty meters from him.

“Help…me…”

This time, it wasn’t a voice from a single person but from ten.

“HELP ME!!”

Horrifying screams suddenly echoed in Yun Lintian’s ears, nearly shattering his eardrums.

Yun Lintian jolted backward in shock and soon saw numerous hideous ghosts swarming towards him. Each of them looked extremely frightening, and their eyes turned completely black. Their arms and legs were long and thin like sticks. Their claw-

like hands reached out, searching for something to hold onto.

Yun Lintian was frightened. They were clearly hungry ghosts he saw in the movie, but much more terrifying.

“Oh… Fun.” Gui Xuan tilted his head to look at the horde of hungry ghosts and said with a smile.

“@#$@##$^!” Yun Lintian wanted to complain but didn’t have time.

Immediately, all seven colored swords appeared in the air, and Yun Lintian didn’t hesitate to send them toward the charging hungry ghosts.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

“AHHHHH!!” The hungry ghosts screamed in agony as the swords mercilessly slashed through them.Foll0w current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)

Their screams had reached several octaves higher than before, causing Yun Lintian a splitting headache.

“HELP ME!!”

Another frightening scream echoed, and Yun Lintian quickly noticed another horde of hungry ghosts appearing from all directions.

“Shi—” Yun Lintian was truly terrified at this moment. If given the choice, he would prefer to battle a true god rather than these frightening ghosts.

The Heaven Piercing Sword instantly appeared in Yun Lintian’s hand. Yun Lintian’s aura surged as he swung the sword horizontally around him, unleashing scarlet-gold flames.

BOOOM—

“UWAHHHH!!” The flames of the Golden Crow engulfed countless hungry ghosts around Yun Lintian and ruthlessly burned them into nothingness.

However, the number of ghosts was too large. No matter how hard Yun Lintian tried to kill them, they didn’t seem to decrease in the slightest. On the contrary, the ghosts appeared more and more, to the point that everything around him became wholly black.

Yun Lintian’s face turned ghastly pale. He was certain that he would be wiped clean without a single piece of bone left once these ghosts reached him…
