The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
It was now obvious that the formation the old man had once said he had studied for 300 years without being able to break was precisely the Heaven-Sealing Thousand Dragon Divine Formation that Tan Yun himself had created in the past. Let alone the high-level experts of the Huangfu Sacred Sect, who had existed for more than 50,000 years, still being unable to break it— even if the Tianxing Star Continent reached the end of its era, they would never succeed in breaking the Heaven-Sealing Thousand D...
From the outside, it looked as if it was only about 10,000 li in size.
But Tan Yun knew very well
that the interior space of the Heavenly Palace
was truly vast and boundless,
with a radius of 30,000,000 li!
Such a number… was truly astonishing.
Tears streamed down his face.
Tan Yun controlled the spirit boat and soared up from the mountain peak.
After only a few breaths,
the spirit boat descended onto the Heavenly Stairway leading up to the gates of the Heavenly Palace.
Every step of the staircase was forged from brilliant gold.
There were more than 1,000 steps.
On both sides of the staircase
stood giant stone pillars towering like mountains.
On the surface of each pillar,
there were carvings of Nine-Clawed Golden Dragons,
so lifelike that they seemed almost alive.
Throughout the entire Heavenly Palace,
there lingered an aura of ancient solemnity and sacred majesty.
A man does not shed tears easily—
unless his heart is in unbearable pain.
The clouds in the sky churned wildly,
and fierce winds blew Tan Yun’s hair into the air.
Yet
they could not blow away the sorrow within his heart.
He walked heavily,
step by step,
up the staircase.
Step…
by step.
Compared with the magnificent Heavenly Palace,
he seemed as insignificant as a speck of dust.
After countless ages,
today,
he once again stepped upon these familiar stairs.
Tears
scattered into the wind.
He walked slowly
along the endless staircase,
leaving behind only a lonely shadow.
Even after climbing more than 1,000 steps,
his tears… still did not stop flowing.
Finally,
Tan Yun arrived before the massive gates of the Heavenly Palace.
His right arm trembled slightly
before he slowly raised his hand.
The 5 fingers of his hand
gently traced the formation patterns engraved upon the palace gate.
Tears streamed down his face.
Scenes from the distant past
surfaced in his memories.
In ancient times,
before this very gate,
a gigantic 12-clawed Golden Dragon
once knelt before him
and said with the utmost respect:
“Xiao Jin… greets the Supreme Lord!”
“Please, Supreme Lord, grant me the Divine Palace Guardian Formation!”
The voice of the Golden Divine Dragon
still echoed in Tan Yun’s ears.
Tan Yun slowly turned his head
to look at the giant pillars lining both sides of the staircase.
On each pillar
was carved the image of a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon.
His vision blurred with tears.
Because
the 1,980 stone pillars
were the formation bases
of the
Heaven-Sealing Thousand Dragon Divine Formation!
This formation
had been created by Tan Yun himself
10,000 lifetimes ago,
when he was still
the Golden Divine Dragon.
All of the formation bases
had been built by Tan Yun personally.
As for the 9,990,000 formation patterns
engraved across the palace gate,
they were also his work,
created by him 10,000 years ago.
It was now obvious
that the formation the old man had once said
he had studied for 300 years without being able to break
was precisely
the Heaven-Sealing Thousand Dragon Divine Formation
that Tan Yun himself had created in the past.
Let alone the high-level experts of the Huangfu Sacred Sect,
who had existed for more than 50,000 years,
still being unable to break it—
even if the Tianxing Star Continent reached the end of its era,
they would never
succeed in breaking the Heaven-Sealing Thousand Dragon Divine Formation!
Even if
today a god or immortal
came to study this formation,
even if they spent their entire lifetime,
they would still never unravel its secrets!
There was only 1 reason.
Because this formation
had been created by
the Supreme Primordial Sovereign!
And
the one who created it in the past
was
Tan Yun!
Deep sorrow overflowed within his heart.
Tan Yun slowly turned around
and once again faced the gates of the Heavenly Palace.
Then
his hands began drawing mysterious trajectories from his chest
before he suddenly raised both arms toward the sky!
Instantly,
2 streams of spiritual energy
shot out from his palms
before bursting apart in midair,
turning into countless strands of spiritual energy
that surged into the formation patterns on the palace gate!
“Open!”
Tan Yun spoke 1 word.
In that instant,
the massive gates of the Heavenly Palace,
which had been sealed for thousands of years,
suddenly broke the silence!
With a thunderous roar that shook the heavens—
Rumble—!
The 2 palace gates
slowly opened.
Tan Yun
had once again stepped into
the Heavenly Palace of the Golden Divine Dragon.
But
everything
had already changed.
He walked into the Heavenly Palace with heavy steps.
Suddenly—
Bang!
The palace gates behind him
closed once again with a thunderous sound!
Tan Yun swept his gaze around.
All he saw were mountain ranges stretching endlessly into the distance.
Those mountains were barren and desolate.
Almost no living creatures could be seen.
Only weeds covered the land.
Inside the Heavenly Palace,
there was an eerie silence.
So silent
that even the sound of Tan Yun’s heartbeat could be heard.
Tan Yun looked at those mountain ranges.
Suddenly,
his entire body trembled violently.
Then he burst into tears!
He cried out in pain,
his hoarse voice filled with despair.
Boundless sorrow
seemed to tear apart every nerve in his body!
Because—
he knew very well
that beneath those seemingly endless mountains
lay the corpses of the Divine Dragon Clan and the Demonic Dragon Clan!
The Golden Divine Dragon
had transformed his own Heavenly Palace
into a Divine Tomb
to bury the bodies of the entire dragon race!
Suddenly—
“Lowly human! Answer me!”
“How did you get here!”
A voice that sounded weak yet filled with rage
echoed throughout the Dragon Tomb!
In the very next instant,
a mountain range stretching for thousands of li
suddenly collapsed!
Dust billowed into the sky,
massive rocks rolled everywhere,
revealing
a jet-black dragon skeleton
that stretched for thousands of li!
In the blink of an eye,
demonic energy erupted from the dragon bones!
Then,
the illusory shadow of a Demonic Dragon
more than tens of thousands of li long
emerged from the skeleton,
towering in the sky!
Its gigantic dragon eyes
glowed with bloodthirsty light
as they stared down at Tan Yun, who was still crying.
Its body was almost completely transparent,
as if
it might disappear from this world at any moment.
Suddenly,
Tan Yun was bound by an invisible force.
His body turned into a streak of blue light
and shot uncontrollably into the sky.
Finally,
his body stopped
beneath the head of the Demonic Dragon.
“Lowly human!”
“I, the Demon Lord, am asking you!”
“If you do not answer, I will destroy both your soul and spirit!”
The Demonic Dragon waved its 12 claws
and roared furiously!
Suddenly,
another voice sounded from a different mountain range.
“Second Brother, do not act rashly.”
The voice was deep and steady like the voice of a heavenly dragon.
Soon after,
one of the mountains began to tremble.
The outer layers of rock shattered apart,
revealing
a golden dragon body
stretching more than tens of thousands of li,
radiating dazzling light!
On its body,
there were 12 enormous dragon claws
clearly visible.
Suddenly—
Hum!
Space trembled.
A golden dragon shadow more than 10,000 li long
descended majestically,
floating to the left side of the Demonic Dragon’s shadow.
Its enormous dragon head
looked down at the tiny human
bound in the air
before speaking in a weak voice,
yet filled with kindness.
“Child, do not be afraid.”
“And do not cry.”
“As long as you answer a few questions for us,”
“we will not harm you.”
Tan Yun nodded slightly.
Tears still filled his eyes.
He looked toward the golden dragon shadow
and spoke hoarsely.
“Alright… ask.”
The golden dragon shadow immediately asked,
“What year is it now?”
“How many humans remain on the continent?”
“And what is the Heavenly Punishment Continent like now?”
The massive dragon eyes
were filled with deep concern.
Tan Yun let his tears fall
before suppressing his sobs and speaking.
“Now…”
“It has been more than 9,000,000 years since the 3rd Divine War.”
“At that time…”
“more than tens of trillions of cultivators on the Heavenly Punishment Continent were slaughtered by the gods.”
“But you…”
“sacrificed your lives alongside the gods”
“to protect the surviving humans.”
“The surviving humans…”
“after nearly 10,000,000 years of reproduction and development…”
“have allowed the Heavenly Punishment Continent to prosper once again.”
Upon hearing this,
the worry in the Golden Dragon’s eyes
gradually faded.
It was replaced by relief.
But soon,
curiosity appeared instead.
It asked again,
“Child,”
“I have one more question for you.”
“How did you break the formation outside the palace…”
“and enter the Heavenly Palace?”
Before Tan Yun could answer,
the Demonic Dragon shadow spoke impatiently.
“Big Brother, why ask anything else!”
“I have asked this lowly human 2 times already!”
“And he still hasn’t answered!”
“If you ask me…”
“we should just kill him!”
“Why waste time talking to him!”
Facing the furious roar of the Demonic Dragon,
Tan Yun did not become angry at all.
On the contrary,
his heart strangely felt warmer.
He smiled through his tears.
And the next sentence he spoke
caused both
the Demonic Dragon shadow
and
the Golden Dragon shadow
to tremble violently!
Their dragon eyes
were filled with
extreme excitement
and
deep confusion!
