The Supreme Being Against Heaven

Looking at the massive formation barrier within arm’s reach,

Tan Yun flipped his right palm,

and a disciple identity token appeared in the air.

He then pressed the token

against the formation barrier.

Immediately,

the energy wall that had been calm

began to ripple like water,

before opening a gap about 10 chi tall,

like a gate leading to the outside world.

When Tan Yun rode his flying sword out,

the gap instantly closed,

leaving not the slightest trace.

Ahead

stretched an endless mountain range,

covered in thin mist,

giving off an extremely ancient and primordial aura.

Each peak

pierced through the clouds,

rising to heights of millions of chi.

Even so,

the mountains before Tan Yun now

were merely

a drop in the ocean

of

Fallen God Valley.

Even until today,

no one has truly been able to measure

the vastness of this valley.

And this valley

was only a small part

of the

Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range.

Clearly,

the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range

was the most mysterious and immense mountain range

on the

Heavenly Punishment Continent.

Tan Yun clearly remembered

that before the trial began,

the Grand Elder of the Outer Sect had once said:

Outside the trial area,

Level 3 demonic beasts were as common as stray dogs.

To avoid being attacked

by powerful demonic beasts that could not fly,

Tan Yun immediately leaped onto his flying sword.

His green robe fluttered

as his body shot straight upward

into the sky,

reaching a height of 25,000 zhang.

A height of 25,000 zhang

was equal to 150 li,

which was exactly

the limit of Tan Yun’s spiritual sense range.

Then

he released his spiritual sense,

which had power comparable to

a cultivator at

Level 6 of the Nascent Soul Realm,

spreading it downward

to cover an area within a radius of 150 li.

After that,

he controlled his flying sword

and flew toward the east.

At the moment,

Tan Yun only had 3 top-grade spirit stones.

Therefore,

unless absolutely necessary,

he would not use

his top-grade spirit vessel.

While scanning the ground below

with his spiritual sense,

Tan Yun also tried to search for

Fire Attribute Flame

and

Ice Attribute Flame

at the same time.

He had flown less than 10,000 li

when suddenly

his eyebrows lifted slightly.

His spiritual sense detected

that behind him,

a huge pitch-black creature

was flapping its wings

and rushing toward him rapidly.

Tan Yun smiled coldly

but continued flying calmly on his sword.

Moments later—

“BOOM!”

The air trembled,

and space around them exploded with sound.

A massive black beam of light

shot across the sky,

appearing behind Tan Yun

before transforming into

a giant black demonic eagle

over 100 meters long.

Its eyes were filled with

hatred toward the human before it.

Its claws,

sharp like sickles,

lashed toward Tan Yun with lightning-like force.

Each claw

was 3 zhang long,

large enough to

cover Tan Yun’s entire body.

“A mere Level 2 demonic beast in the Soul Birth stage,
and you dare attack me?”

Tan Yun stood on his flying sword

and spoke coldly.

“Die!”

The moment he finished speaking,

Tan Yun formed claw shapes with both hands

and charged directly at the eagle’s claws.

His 10 fingers, drenched in fresh blood,

pierced straight into the eagle’s claws,

gripping the bones inside

before violently tearing them apart.

“CRACK! CRACK!”

The 3-zhang-long giant claw

was ripped into pieces!

A rain of blood

scattered across the sky.

The demonic eagle,

having lost its left claw,

let out a miserable scream

that shook the heavens.

In its enormous eyes

appeared deep fear.

It turned around,

attempting to flee.

“Since you came,

don’t think about escaping!”

Tan Yun’s eyes

were filled with killing intent.

Stepping on his flying sword,

his speed surged dramatically.

He instantly appeared

above the demonic eagle’s head

in midair

and stomped down with his right foot with all his might.

The power of Tan Yun’s foot

was enough to

shatter low-grade spirit weapons.

Its force was terrifying.

“BANG!”

The eagle’s head,

as large as a house,

exploded instantly!

Scarlet blood

mixed with white fluid

splattered across the sky.

At the same time,

a pitch-black demon core

the size of a fist

shot out from the shattered skull.

Just as Tan Yun used

object-control through spiritual power

to store the demon core

into his Qiankun Ring,

his expression suddenly changed drastically.

Shock appeared

in his eyes.

“AAAAAH!!”

“Despicable human! You dared to kill my child!”

“I will tear your body into pieces!!”

A hoarse roar

thundered down from the sky.

The sound waves

seemed capable of piercing Tan Yun’s eardrums.

Above Tan Yun,

in the empty sky,

a 100-zhang-tall giant demonic eagle

was speaking in human language.

Its wings folded inward,

and its entire body swirled with

black lightning as thick as water barrels.

It looked like

a black mountain

falling from the sky,

as it plunged down

toward Tan Yun with terrifying force!

Its speed

was unbelievably fast.

Even before it reached him,

Tan Yun could already feel

an overwhelming aura

crashing down from above!

“Damn it!”

“A Level 4 Tribulation-Crossing demonic beast—
Ice Lightning Demon Eagle!”

A chill ran down Tan Yun’s spine.

Without hesitation,

he flicked his right arm.

The Qiankun Ring between his fingers flashed,

and a small spirit boat floated out before him.

This spirit boat

was transparent like crystal,

its walls almost completely see-through,

allowing it to possess

airborne concealment ability.

Enemies would find it

extremely difficult to detect.

This was…

This was a top-grade spirit weapon–level spirit boat.

Inside the boat

there was also a cultivation chamber.

Whether in terms of

appearance,

durability,

or comfort,

it surpassed

every other spirit boat

of the same level

that Tan Yun had ever used.

“Whoosh!”

Tan Yun controlled his flying sword in midair,

drawing a curved arc,

before quickly rushing into

the cultivation chamber of the spirit boat.

“Rumble…”

The surrounding space trembled

as the

Ice Lightning Demon Eagle

was about to crash into the spirit boat.

Suddenly,

it spread its wings wide,

blocking out the entire sky!

Then

it extended its gigantic claws

and grabbed toward the spirit boat

from above!

In that life-and-death instant,

Tan Yun inside the cultivation chamber

flicked his Qiankun Ring again

and shot

1 top-grade spirit stone

into the energy slot

that powered the spirit boat!

Instantly,

the spirit boat,

which had originally been only the size of a small boat,

expanded at once

until it reached a length of 300 chi!

At the same time,

the cultivation chamber Tan Yun was in

expanded into an area

100 chi wide.

Meanwhile,

the training chamber roof,

which had originally been open,

closed tightly at once.

Tan Yun’s pupils shrank

when he saw

the gigantic claw wrapped in lightning

slamming toward

the transparent wall of the spirit boat!

“SCRAAAATCH!”

The claw of the

Ice Lightning Demon Eagle

left several

huge scratch marks

on the spirit boat.

The 300-chi-long spirit boat

could not withstand that immense impact,

so it spun wildly

before plunging downward

at high speed!

“That was close!”

Tan Yun cursed angrily.

Then

he quickly released his spiritual sense

to control the spirit boat.

Once the boat regained its balance,

it immediately shot forward

toward the eastern horizon!

“Whoosh!”

In the blink of an eye,

the spirit boat appeared

3 li away,

moving at a speed of

150,000 li per day!

It streaked past

ancient desolate peaks

towering into the sky

like an arrow!

This was

the maximum speed of a top-grade spirit weapon spirit boat

when powered by

top-grade spirit stones.

“Lowly human!”

“You killed my child!”

“No matter where you flee,

I will find you!”

Behind the spirit boat,

at a distance of 3 li,

the Ice Lightning Demon Eagle

roared madly.

Suddenly,

its body rapidly grew larger.

In the end,

it transformed into

a gigantic beast

1,000 meters tall!

Its wingspan

reached a terrifying

3 li!

Flapping its wings,

it relentlessly chased

the spirit boat.

Suddenly,

a massive surge of icy energy

burst out from its wings.

Then,

30-foot ice spears

shot out from them!

A huge number of ice spears

pierced through the air

with tremendous power!

The surrounding space

was torn apart into

countless dense dark cracks

before the ice spears

bombarded

the spirit boat continuously!

“BANG! BANG! BANG!”

The durability of a

top-grade spirit weapon

was truly astonishing.

Although the spirit boat trembled

and shook violently

from the attacks,

there was still

not the slightest sign of damage.

Inside the cultivation chamber,

Tan Yun quickly calmed his mind,

stabilized the spirit boat,

and accelerated

to continue fleeing!

“You despicable human!”

“Stop right there!”

“AAARGH… I will devour your entire body!”

The furious roar of the

Ice Lightning Demon Eagle

echoed

through the towering mountain ranges

for a long time.

Even though it flew at full speed,

it still maintained a distance of

3 li

from the spirit boat.

The lowly human

was right in front of it,

yet

it still could not catch up!

The rage of the

Ice Lightning Demon Eagle

reached its peak!
